Chapter 116 Trademark Royalty, $1

Hu Yang followed Lu Yali into a private room on the third floor, Zhang Zhongyi stood up with a smile and said, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Hu, just wait for the two of you." Come, please take a seat. ”

Hu Yang politely shook hands with Zhang Zhongyi, and glanced at him after sitting down. There were three people sitting at the table, two men and one woman, all of whom looked extraordinary.

Zhang Zhongyi then briefly introduced the surnames of the three people, but did not introduce their identities.

The wine and food were quickly served, and Zhang Zhongyi never talked about business. While mobilizing the atmosphere in the private room, he made the banquet very relaxed.

"Mr. Hu, I toast you. To be honest, I used to think that you were a little young after all, and you might be able to catch up with us old guys in a few years. But now I don't dare to ask for it......"

Zhang Zhongyi suddenly picked up his wine glass, and there was something to say.

"Mr. Zhang, I still respect you. Hu Yang smiled, raised his glass and touched Zhang Zhongyi. "Don't praise me like that, I'm afraid I'll be proud......"

Lu Yali sat next to Hu Yang, laughed out loud, and said, "Can you two talk well?" If you have something to say, just say it directly, don't play dumb riddles. ”

The other three smiled politely. There was no squeak.

Hu Yang noticed that the three of them were basically sitting there very calmly tonight, and they rarely spoke. But when Zhang Zhongyi began to get to the point, several of them diverted their attention.

"Mr. Hu, we're old friends, I'll just say it. At that time, when you quit Yibaijia (chain), I was negligent and forgot to talk to you about the registered trademark. Today I want to hear from you......"

Sure enough, it was for the trademark of "Yibaijia", which was not unexpected by Populus euphratica.

"Didn't I? I forgot about it at the time. At present, the trademark of Yibaijia community supermarket chain is still in my hands, and I can authorize Xijiang Friendship to use it. ”

Hu Yang smiled very sincerely, and did not shy away from this sensitive issue.

The corners of Zhang Zhongyi's mouth twitched, the grievance in his heart, he couldn't teach this little fox a few words. But he can't, he can't lose the big because of the small.

"Mr. Hu, let's stop beating around the bush. Yibaijia (chain) is now in full swing, and it is impossible for me to change the brand now. Hurry up and just say your license period and usage fee. ”

Hu Yang smiled, didn't look at Lu Yali and the other three, and said: "I can give Mr. Zhang a permanent authorization, of course, the scope of application of the Yibaijia trademark is limited to community supermarket chains." I won't charge more for the usage fee, so I'll charge a symbolic one yuan......"

"How much?"

Zhang Zhongyi couldn't believe his ears, even if Hu Yang said the price of 100 million yuan, he was not so surprised.

Lu Yali also felt a little incredible, and felt that she still couldn't see through this handsome little guy.

It is not an exaggeration to say that today's dinner is a "Hongmen banquet", and the relevant departments have also specially dispatched three people to mediate the issue of trademark use rights for Zhang Zhongyi and Hu Yang.

Xijiang Friendship is a large enterprise in Xijiang and a major taxpayer in the province and city, which is related to the employment of tens of thousands of employees. If it is just for the sake of a registered trademark to put the soon-to-be-listed Xijiang Friendship in a difficult situation, this is a result that many people do not want to see.

So, don't look at Lu Yali before she looked light, in fact, she was under a lot of pressure. If this can't be discussed, even if she can protect Populus, she will have to pay a great price.

But Hu Yang's reply once again subverted her cognition, what the hell is a one-yuan royalty plus perpetual license?

"Yes, it's one dollar. Mr. Zhang, we have been working together very happily before, and the matter of registering a trademark is not a trap I dug for you. You know, before Yibaijia (chain) opened, I had already registered this brand.

Since I withdrew from Yibaijia (chain), I have gained a lot from the equity transfer, so why can't I get your neck stuck in this matter? However, you can use this brand with confidence in community supermarket chains, but not large supermarkets. The first Yibaijia supermarket I initiated will open soon......"

Hu Yang had no intention of using the registered trademark to extort a sum of money from Zhang Zhongyi. If he really did that, it was estimated that it would be difficult for him to mix in Xijiang again.

Didn't you see that for today's dinner, did people invite a few great gods to come to the town?

When the three people heard Hu Yang's words, they were also stunned for a while. Soon, however, several people smiled kindly at the poplar.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Lu, Mr. Hu. The three of us still have something to do, so let's go first. ”

The three of them exchanged a few words briefly, and then suddenly got up to take their leave.

Lu Yali and Hu Yang nodded with a smile and said a few kind words, and then Zhang Zhongyi sent them out.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Hu, you can always surprise me. What those three people are doing, I guess you can see it. If you insist on asking Xijiang Friendship for a large sum of money, I can also help you suppress this matter, but it will definitely be endless troubles. It's better for you to deal with it this way, everyone has peace of mind. ”

Lu Yali did not introduce the identities of those people, not because of how high their status was, but because of the attitude they represented in the relevant departments.

"I didn't dig a hole for Mr. Zhang in the first place, because he didn't realize the importance of trademark protection. Forget it, let's not talk about it, this is a thing of the past. ”

Hu Yang said what he said from his heart, and he had no motive or willingness to blackmail Xijiang's friendship.

After a while, Zhang Zhongyi, who had sent off the guests, walked back.

"Mr. Hu, you always don't play cards according to common sense, no wonder Mr. Pang said that you have an unbridled imagination. Hey, good at your lesson, our company now recognizes the importance of brand protection from top to bottom. What, if I set up a large supermarket, I really won't be allowed to use the Yibaijia trademark?"

Zhang Zhongyi is really a character who can afford to let go, just going out and turning around, he seems to have forgotten that he had a misunderstanding with Populus Hu.

"Mr. Zhang, Yibaijia supermarket is about to open, and I definitely can't give you authorization in this regard. Sister Lu, you said yes, right?"

Since Zhang Zhongyi called himself over through Lu Yali today, he must have known about his cooperative relationship with her, so when Hu Yang said this, he didn't feel a burden at all.

"Mr. Zhang, it's like it's impossible for you to authorize the brand of Xijiang Friendship to others. However, we can consider cooperating. You're going public soon, and you're very well funded. When the time comes, we can carry out the second round of financing, and we welcome the total investment of Zhang. ”

Lu Yali's idea is very much in line with Hu Yang's heart, if Xijiang Friendship is willing to cooperate at that time, Yibaijia Supermarket will soon be able to occupy half of the Xijiang retail market.

"Well, they're all waiting for me here. It's not impossible to think about it, but we'll have to wait until we go public. ”

Zhang Zhongyi doesn't think there is anything wrong with the two sides talking about cooperation again, and it can be seen from the fact that Hu Yang only charges a trademark usage fee of one yuan, which can be seen that this is a reliable partner.

As for whether Xijiang Friendship will invest in large-scale stores or cooperate with others in the future, that is another question.
