"NPS has an additional £500,000 to bid for it. ”

Cui Zairen scolded Wu Qian in his heart, but it did not prevent him from continuing to shout the price, and after shouting the price, he didn't forget to look at Wu Qian's side, with a pitiful expression on his face, eager for sympathy.

What Cui Zairen thought in his heart was that if he could give up that flashy face in exchange for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of pounds in concessions from Wu Qian, it would be equivalent to all his earning by face, and face was a tool he used to earn benefits.

However, he saw the wrong person, if he was replaced by Hammos of the Blackstone Group at this moment, it might still have a positive effect, but Wu Qian saw Cui Zairen's expression, and he only had disgust and greasy in his heart.

"You play me...... But what if I can't act? ”

Wu Qian muttered in his heart, and also gave Cui Jae-in a sad shake of his head, which means, I can't let it go.

I don't know if Wu Qian's acting skills are not good, Hammerkar and Choi Jae-in saw Wu Qian's appearance and thought that he was going to give up.

The smile on Hamercar's face was mixed with a little disappointment, while the residual sadness on Choi Jae-in's face was mixed with ecstasy.

Wu Qian didn't know the mental journey of Hammerkar and Cui Jae-in, where did he want to give up, not only did he not give up, but he also decided not to accompany the other party to grind foreign workers.

He stood up with his hands on the conference table, looked at Hammercar, and asked, "Mr. Hammercar, if I buy Harrods, is there a problem with my other businesses using this brand name?"

Wu Qian already has some business ideas in his heart, which may not be very mature, but it involves the use of the brand, and he needs to ask in advance.

The faint loss on Hamercar's face turned into joy, and he said: "Mr. Wu, you don't need to worry too much about this matter, as long as you don't carry out business in banking, real estate and aviation, if other industries need to use the Harold brand, there is no problem, you can add an authorization to the terms." ”

There are many loopholes in trademarks, brand property rights, even if Wu Qian doesn't inform him in advance, he only needs to add a special mark to the trademark, everything is fine, and Hammercar will not set up a barrier in this kind of thing.

Cui Jae-in heard the conversation between Wu Qian and Hammerkar, the expression on his face remained unchanged, and his heart became nervous again, the other party's question was answered in the affirmative, and the price must be increased.

Choi Jae-in decided to strike first, he interrupted the conversation between Wu Qian and Hammerkar very impolitely, and said loudly: "Hammerkal, the NPS fund invested 3.4 billion pounds to buy Harrods Department Store!"

Hammerkar and Wu Qian frowned at the same time and looked at Choi Jae-in, Hammerkar was very happy with Choi Jae-in's behavior of raising the price, but such a rude and impolite way was really unruly.

Not to mention Wu Qian, when he saw that the sad look on Choi Jae-in's face was replaced by fortitude, he knew that the other party no longer planned to continue acting, and was going to start to be positive.

The price jumped directly from 3,326.5 million pounds to 3.4 billion pounds, which is not a small increase based on the previous price increase. Don't look at Choi Jae-in's face with a look of ambition, in fact, he is very empty, because this price is almost the limit of the NPS fund.

It is not impossible to raise the price again, but it will disrupt some of the original arrangements, and it will be necessary to abandon some of the previously formulated development plans, such as the expansion and renovation of Harrods, which may slow down, and the risk index will inevitably rise.

"Mr. Wu, this price is already very high, please consider carefully, according to the profit index in 2018, the payback period has been extended to 2030, and other risks have also increased by 20%!"

The business consultant at Wisman Law Firm leaned into Wu's ear and said.

Wu Qian nodded slightly, this situation was expected by him, he could roughly see the confrontation between Mr. Li and the NPS Foundation on Hong Kong Island at this moment, and it must have been the same when he was bidding for the London Bridge Cave shop.

"Mr. Hammercar, the source of happiness investment company has increased its capital to 3.5 billion pounds. After speaking, Wu Qian sat back in his chair, his fingers interlocked, ready to meet Cui Jae-in's "indiscriminate bombing".

Choi Jae-in's expression was very serious after hearing Wu Qian's offer, this price has exceeded the budget allowed by the foundation, if the budget is further increased, the expansion steps after buying Harold must be slowed down, and at the same time, I am afraid that a certain amount of labor expenses will have to be reduced.

This time the bid for Harrods Department Store is not as good as the last time to compete with Manager Wang for the copyright of British dramas, Cui Jae-in's status in NPS is much higher than that of Manager Wang's status in Youke B, Cui Jae-in can call the shots a lot of things, and the authority is correspondingly much higher.

At least Choi Jae-in can make a decision on such a thing as raising the budget, and he doesn't need to apply to the headquarters, and even when he makes some other decisions, he can make his own decisions and cut it first and then play it.

"Mr. Wu, the 'Source of Happiness Investment Company' behind you is bidding so hard for Harrods Department Store, do you mainly want to use the Harrods brand, if so, you give in now, I can promise to let the company behind you use the Harrods brand for free. ”

Choi Jae-in is very familiar with the affairs of the Celestial Empire, and the listing is commonplace, and he said bluntly, he doesn't care what Hammercar's attitude is, if the NPS Foundation buys Harrods, he does have the right to do so.

Wu Qian shook his head secretly, the other party was really shrewd, good at grasping all possible gaps to pry himself, he shook his head and said: "Thank you NPS Foundation for your kindness, sometimes it is more practical to use your own things." ”

Joint operation is just a vague idea of Wu Qian's future, it is not yet mature, it is still Harrods Department Store at all, how could Wu Qian agree to the other party.

Wu Qian didn't know what Cui Zairen was thinking, if he knew, he would definitely be angry...... Cui Jae-in thought that Wu Qian was going to use the brand to engage in copycats.

Choi Jae-in's face was a little gloomy, he turned his head to look at Hammerkar, stretched out five fingers, and said, "Add another 50 million pounds, 3.55 billion pounds." ”

The NPS Foundation is investing in the global retail and luxury industries, and Harrods is a very important part of the development of the European market, and if it does not take Harrods, it will be very difficult to establish a presence in the UK.

"Do you want to give up the bid for Harrods and settle for Selfridges or Harvey Nichols?"

Choi Jae-in was a little anxious, the difficulty of bidding was more difficult than the NPS Foundation expected, so he might have to start a backup plan.

Selfridge and Harvey Nix are also two luxury department stores in the UK, although they are also century-old brands, but everything is divided into first and second, and Harrods is the undisputed first, as for who is second, it is inextricably matched.
