I am deeply appreciative from the moment of referral to you checking in on things to the side dialogs you've had. I'm terribly sorry I did not express that in a way that made it clear. Thank you. I'm more than happy to turn this over to you. Any fee you want is fine. That isn't an issue for me at all. Or if you don't want to be involved that is fine too. I would rather be friends more than anything. I'd like you to be involved. I just want you to understand a little more about the situation. It is more nuanced than a money negotiation i think. We've both done lots of contracts and have both been more involved with lawyers tons more than we would have liked. But in very different ways and with different business situations.

People do remember pr. Read about "Kai Fu Lee". He was branded ineffective and then left google as ineffective. He was a traitor then and is now a traitor to China. Maybe he is all of those in r
