Chapter 303 - Signing a Contract
What do you think?
You can't find such favorable conditions with lanterns.
If anyone encounters such a good thing, they will refuse, Wang Qiang can only say that the other party's brain is broken, and he said without hesitation: "Very good, let's draw up a contract and then sign it?"
Michelle Johnson immediately said, "Okay, but I have one condition. ”
"What conditions?" Wang Qiang was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that at this point, the contract is drawn up, and it will be over as soon as it is signed, why do you still want to negotiate terms with me?
Michelle Johnson put together the language, "I would like to sign the contract for a three-year period and we have the right of first refusal on all equal terms. Speaking of this, she smiled, and two faint dimples appeared on her face, "Our company is very optimistic about your company's business, and I believe that the scale will be even larger in three years." ”
"Thanks, that's fine. Wang Qiang agreed easily.
"But that's not what I'm conditioning, it's just the most basic clause in the contract. Michelle Johnson said seriously, she picked up the coffee cup, gently rested her slender left leg on the knee of her right leg, showed a very elegant gesture, and continued, "Something like a minimum contract payment will be for my team to discuss with your company, and I want to make a request here that may be excessive, I don't know if you can agree to it." ”
Asking too much?
Are you still going to eat me?
Wang Qiang was a little amused when he heard this, but he didn't promise anything, glanced at Chen Xuemin, the manager of the legal department, and gave me a look, probably meaning to help me check it.
After all, there are some things that involve specialized law.
Packages and the like are shipped from the United States, and they must comply with American laws.
But that's the package out of customs and the like, and you have to abide by Chinese laws after entering China.
This is not the case with contracts, and most of the time transnational contracts comply with the field of private international law, because once there is a breach of contract, international arbitration and litigation must be chosen.
However, the parties have a great deal of choice, and in the absence of a choice, the principle of closest connection can be applied to determine it.
The principle of closest connection, also known as the principle of strongest connection, and the principle of gravity center, refers to the fact that when the court hears a foreign-related civil or commercial case, it weighs various factors that are related to the parties to the case, finds out the factors that have the closest connection with the case, and applies the legal principle of the country or region with the closest connection with the parties to resolve the case according to the guidance of the factors. These factors usually include the person's place of birth, habitual residence, domicile, place of exercise of political rights or business activities, and the individual's wishes.
So if the terms are negotiated, there is no need to worry too much about the contract.
Chen Xuemin is a professional business lawyer, proficient in domestic law and private international law and other laws, but she is an elite recruited by Boss Wang personally, she nodded without a trace.
After seeing this, Wang Qiang stretched out his hand and said, "Please speak." ”
Michelle Johnson beckoned to the middle-aged white man next to her, the white man took out a document similar to the plan from her bag and handed it over, she took it and looked at it, made sure there was no problem, and then said to Wang Qiang: "That's the case, since the contract is signed, I hope we can hold a relatively large public signing ceremony, you invite some of China's more famous media to come over to participate in the signing ceremony, and then spread it out in paper media, radio news, etc., and we signed a contract." ”
Wang Qiang snorted, shook his head and refused: "Isn't this good?"
How much is the contract money, and you still want me to hold a public signing ceremony for you?
It costs money to invite media, such as the director and cameraman of the TV station, the main media at the provincial, central and local levels, generally not less than 500 yuan per person, if you need a long report, a special program of the provincial TV station, etc., you must give it alone, generally not less than 2,000 yuan.
If you give this money in a decent manner, it is estimated that the paper media can send you 300 words, and if you want to invite the media to the signing ceremony with a promotional nature, you must stuff another money, and Michelle Johnson means that more than one media is definitely needed, let alone a dozen or so, it will cost a lot of money, Wang Qiang is a little unhappy.
Michelle Johnson restrained her smile and said seriously: "Maybe you think the contract is relatively small, so you don't want to hold a signing ceremony, but we can falsely report the contract amount of the public signing ceremony, and it is true that the purpose of our first time was to falsely report some contract amounts, as for why, I tell you very clearly, it is because we United Parcel wants to make a name for itself in China." ”
Wang Qiang knew that United Parcel wanted to make a name for himself, but he was unwilling to pay for this kind of thing himself, so he still refused: "I still don't think it's necessary." ”
Michelle Johnson frowned at the good-looking willow eyebrows, shook her blonde hair and said: "Please Mr. Wang, we will solve the funds used in the signing ceremony and the venue, as long as your company is willing to cooperate with us, falsely report some contract amounts to the outside world, and exaggerate the number of cooperation projects, okay?"
You said it earlier.
Why don't I agree to do things that don't cost me?
Wang Qiang said cautiously: "You are here from all sides, and we only need personnel to attend?"
"Yes. Michelle Johnson affirmed.
Wang Qiang said without hesitation: "Okay, I agreed." ”
Michelle Johnson and her team were a little confused, and after a careful review, don't you have to give up the money for the goods in front of you?
My God, how much does it cost to hold a signing ceremony?
You're too picky, aren't you?
Michelle Johnson and her team almost vomited blood when they figured it out.
Even one of the brown-skinned youths rolled his eyes.
I've seen it, but I've never seen it like this.
Wang Qiang doesn't know what they think, even if he knows, he won't care, he is not a particularly picky person, but he is treated especially during a special period, and now that the global purchase business is about to start, there is a lot of money to be burned, and he is reluctant to waste half a penny.
"Shall we discuss the terms of the contract then?" suggested Michelle Johnson.
Wang Qiang turned his head sideways at Chen Xuemin and said, "Manager Chen, I'm sorry for you." ”
Chen Xuemin nodded, looked at Michelle Johnson, and said in fluent English: "Miss Johnson, we hope that the contract amount can be compressed to less than $300,000...... and she began to snap and say some things that had been discussed with Wang Qiang a long time ago.
After listening to this, Michelle Johnson said to the white middle-aged man in front of her: "Snake, you discuss with her, and I will discuss the signing ceremony with Mr. Wang." ”
The middle-aged white man snorted, "Okay." He began to negotiate with Chen Xuemin.
Wang Qiang and Michelle Johnson discussed the amount of the contract and the number of cooperation that were falsely reported at the signing ceremony.
About half an hour later.
The two sides signed the contract, and each took the seal and ran it on the Chinese and English double standard contract.
Looking at the contract that the red seal has not yet done, Wang Qiang is very satisfied, this trip and the United Parcel contract, can save himself a lot of money, a little cheaper than FedEx, but also a seven-fold discount, a quarter of the end, which is in urgent need of resource saving expenses for Guoxing Trade, is definitely a great thing.
