Li paid BB $340,000 in 2019, while not taking a dime in a salary for himself.
I highly doubt a distinguished businessman as Li would be paying out $340,000 a year to someone who he thought was a slacker or incompetent.
That fact in itself reveals much of the flawed thinking and accusations put out on this board by the disgruntled that BB is somehow a worthless, incompetent, do nothing COO.
Does any body on this board, who is actually invested here, really believe Li would turn a blind eye to someone he believed was incompetent and lazy, and pay him 340,000 a year in a salary?
And if you do believe that, why in the world would you ever stay invested in this company.
Li obviously needs BB, and believes in his value to the company. I believe the reason why will be made clear in time.
