Chapter 193: Raise Your Noble Hand
Young, Asian, inexperienced, no backstage.
These factors combined, even Han Chudong himself felt that it was simply a sweet and delicious piece of fat, and it was normal to be targeted.
As K said.
As long as the gimmick is enough, no one will pay attention to the truth, and a little guidance will make the brand image that has been accumulated with great difficulty collapse.
After all, the most important mask paper patent is in the hands of Han Chudong, even if he doesn't do business, just external licensing, he can earn a lot of money through a variety of patents.
But having invested so much marketing costs, and having seen how profitable it can be to sell skin care products, who is willing to give up a large piece of the market and only pick up some sesame seeds after losing the watermelon?
Han Chudong's face was gloomy, and he felt unprecedentedly in a hurry.
But he also knows that the more moments like this, the more he can't panic, once the other party perceives his worries, he will only open his mouth in the end, causing more losses.
Sitting there with Erlang's legs crossed, his hands on his thighs, Han Chudong asked, "Then according to your meaning, what kind of price do I need to pay before you are willing to raise your noble hand?"
"Symbolically transferring 40% of the proceeds of the mask patent to me for a symbolic price of one dollar, it is better to say that I am a co-inventor, and to attract those established cosmetics companies to buy mask paper from us at a high price.
I make money, you can keep Rainbow Beauty, continue to earn money from those young ladies, as the holder of some patents, I will allow you to use the mask paper patent for free, as a little bit of sincerity on my part. β
The middle-aged white man who calls himself "K" seems to occupy the initiative in a crushing posture.
If he really just wants to ruin Rainbow Beauty, then he should directly leak the news he found, there is no need to make a special trip to blackmail Han Chudong, he is just interested in interests.
ββ¦β¦ Shameless, the mask paper patent is the most important thing, why don't I give up on this new company and launch a new brand? It seems like a better fit than working with you, and it can bring in far more than millions of dollars.
Coming up to me with a swagger like you and telling me that you could ruin my company seems to be able to bring me to my knees easily, maybe you know my company well and have looked for weaknesses like jackals to exploit, but how much do you know about me. β
Han Chudong looked at K expressionlessly, and continued: "I follow a life creed, people don't offend me, I don't offend people, if people offend me, double the return! So, before completely angering me, I advise you to accept the hush money I gave, and then leave obediently, don't say even a word to others." β
After listening to it, K thought it was a little interesting, but he didn't think that Han Chudong could do anything to him.
Therefore, this threatening words were directly taken as a deaf ear by him, and when he learned that he was going to give himself hush money, he naturally thought that this was proof that Han Chudong was afraid, and shook his head indifferently: "You are too young, I just used this incident to teach you a lesson, how much hush money are you going to give me? 500,000 US dollars? 1 million US dollars?"
I'm sorry, I can't look down on this money, 40% of the patent rights, I only need this, I don't have to negotiate, otherwise you just wait for the news to be reported, anyway, I won't have much to lose, and you are the one who loses money. β
If he can spend some money to settle things, Han Chudong is indeed willing to take one less trouble, one or two million US dollars, but it is just the gross profit of Rainbow Beauty in two or three days, which can be earned back quickly.
But listening to K's meaning, it is clear that the lion has opened his mouth with an iron heart.
Han Chudong frowned slightly, then let go again, and asked tentatively, "Even if it's two million dollars?"
"Even if it's two million dollars, as I said, it's just a patent. Give you a day to think about it, but if I don't get a call by tomorrow afternoon, you just wait to buy the news the day after tomorrow, think about the punitive class action lawsuit, your loss is not only millions of dollars, L'OrΓ©al has offered more than 20 million dollars to buy your company, and when the news comes out, how much will it be worth?"
With that, K stood up and straightened his clothes, took out a small piece of paper with a string of numbers written on it, placed it on the small table, and then left with his head up.
Sitting still is not Han Chudong's character.
He glanced at each other, whispered to Driver Wu to follow the other party, and hurriedly walked towards the elevator, trotting forward to stop a white couple.
Running the train with his mouth full, he said, "Excuse me, you just photographed the rest area, right? That's the direction? I saw the flash light come on." β
The white guy subconsciously put his hand on the camera on his chest and said unhappily: "So what, this is my freedom!"
"Very well, the man sitting across from me is my long-lost uncle, who has not wanted to see my father for more than twenty years after a quarrel.
And my father is critically ill and terminally ill, and even though my uncle doesn't want to meet him, I still hope that my father will see my uncle again before he dies, and he misses his brother very much. β
Han Chudong took out his pocket as he spoke, took out a stack of Franklin, counted out two, and said, "As long as you give me the negatives, the money is yours......"
ββββββββββββββ
When Driver Wu came back and said that he had lost the other party in the subway station, Han Chudong had already gone to the photo studio and asked someone to help wash out the two negatives.
One of them captured the side face of the K.
Rather than self-pity, the most important thing at the moment is to find out who is behind the trouble, and it is not pleasant to be led by the nose.
With a few photos, he stood on the side of the road and used a public phone to contact Mr. Colin Farrell, explain the cause and effect of the incident, and ask him to find the company's executives to think of countermeasures together, and scrapped all the product introduction manuals, and sent someone to Blue Mirror Lake to take samples in person.
After instructing these things, Han Chudong contacted John Hunter as soon as possible.
As a local businessman in New York, Mr. Hunter has a wide range of connections, and the last time he brought Kiko Mochizuki to New York to sign a contract with Panasonic, he met with the other party and went to visit the art exhibition together.
After listening to the general passage in his office, Mr. John Hunt told him:
"In my experience, you must have met a professional business blackmailer, or it could be that other companies that you have rejected have sent people to target you.
Peers are either friends or enemies, and friends only exist between companies of equal strength, you have a very lucrative patent, unless it is strong enough for them to be afraid of, otherwise someone will always bully you. Do you know the law of the jungle, the law of the jungle in the mall is much more complicated than the African savannah. Of course, my wealth is not enough to make others red, so my life is not bad, and I have never encountered such a thing as you......"
