Chapter 276: When to wait if you don't blow it at this time (first update, ask for subscription)
Coach is headquartered in Manhattan, New York.
It is a 52-storey skyscraper, and compared to Ralph Lauren's office floor, Coach's economic heritage is clear at a glance, and it is very powerful.
When Wang Qiang came to the hall, the blonde receptionist told him that there were still fifteen minutes before the appointment time, and asked them to sit in the hall and wait.
In terms of office size and hospitality, Coach seems to be far ahead of Don Cornelle and Ralph Lauren.
Without any impatience, Wang Qiang and the driver sat on the sofa in the hall reading magazines and waiting.
Five minutes.
Ten minutes.
Fifteen minutes flew by.
One of the hostesses walked up to them, "Gentlemen, it's your turn. ”
"Okay, thank you. Wang Qiang and the driver got up and walked towards the elevator behind the female receptionist.
Go up.
Thirty-six floors down.
The entire floor is occupied by the customer department.
Push open the glass door and enter, people of different skin tones are all busy, some people are communicating with customers on the phone, some people are walking around with documents, of course, looking through the glass window, there are countless business personnel and customers in the small reception room to negotiate business cooperation, and the table is full of tea and snacks.
Come to Reception Room Seven.
The waitress pushed open the door and said with a smile, "Please wait inside, you two." ”
Wang Qiang answered, walked in with the driver, and sat down on the sofa against the east wall.
As soon as they sat down, a staff member came in with coffee and snacks and politely let them taste the dim sum that Coach made especially for customers.
Wang Qiang picked up a piece of something similar to a pastry and tasted it, it was sweet and sour, and the taste was very ordinary.
After about four or five minutes, the door was pushed open again, and a tall and powerful white man with a beard walked in, very tall, about two meters to the eye.
As soon as the fierce man walked in, the light in the room seemed to be squeezed a lot, and he laughed and said, "Hello distinguished guests, I'm George Jacob, the account manager. As he spoke, he made a typical American humorous joke, "It's unfortunate that you are here, our salesmen are busy, you can only look at my rough ugly face, and you can't see the delicate girls." ”
Wang Qiang was amused by him, stood up and stretched out his hand and said, "Hello Mr. Jacob, my name is Wang Qiang." ”
The driver also stood up and introduced himself, indicating that he acted as Wang Qiang's translator.
The two sides got to know each other for a while.
Jacob did not sit down at the desk, but sat down on the single sofa next to Wang Qiang, and said with a smile: "Dear Wang, our CEO asked me to personally receive you, saying that there is an important business cooperation, I want to know, what kind of business cooperation is it?"
The driver glanced at Wang Qiang without a trace, a little worried, and estimated that he would be rejected again in the future as he said just now, but he didn't know whether this seemingly kind Jacob refused directly or euphemistically.
To his surprise, Wang Qiang's first sentence was a bit unexpected.
"Mr. Jacob, first of all, I want to make it clear that I am not simply here for business cooperation, but to save Coach!" Wang Qiang said in a big tone.
The driver was stunned.
Jacob was also stunned, "Save Coach?" He reacted with a very dry smile on his face, "Wang, what do you mean?
Although I didn't say anything unpleasant, the meaning was obvious, and your tone was too loud.
Wang Qiang said unhurriedly: "As far as I know, Louis Vuitton and Prada are all starting to design impressionistic products, but your company has not taken any action, and its market share has been robbed a lot, and this year's sales are not very good, right?"
Jacob, who was directly pointed out to break the company's status quo, was a little embarrassed on his face, and his smile retracted, "And then?"
"And?" Wang Qiang tapped twice on the solid wood coffee table, "I wonder if you have noticed the huge population market of Eastern China?"
To tell the truth, Coach really thought about it, but the plan was shelved for some reason, Jacob heard Wang Qiang say this, and said quietly: "What do you want to say?"
Wang Qiang showed that he didn't care, put on a very comfortable posture and leaned on the sofa, his feet on the coffee table, as if he was not here to ask others to get the goods, but to give alms, and said with a slight trembling leg: "If you want to enter the Chinese market normally, you must go through various market research, and then vigorously publicize, there is a lot of time and money invested in it, and you are competing with Louis Vuitton for market share, I guess I can't spare time and not so much money to do this, but ......"
Speaking of this, he said arrogantly: "I can help you do this!"
The driver wiped his sweat, what can you do, who doesn't know whose bottom line.
On the contrary, Jacob hissed, he was really bluffed by Wang Qiang, the market in the United States is like that, don't be modest, the more modest you are, the more others think you are impatient, on the contrary, you will brag about it, pull out the project casually, run to the venture capital company to ask, as long as you can blow the sky and believe that the other party believes, the money is basically in hand, and now Jacob is in this situation, he was stunned by Wang Qiang's tone of voice more and more than one time, and lowered his posture and asked: "How do you do it?"
Wang Qiang snorted, still showing a light and light attitude, "I, the store that is going to build the world's top luxury series in China, the idea inside is very complicated, and it involves some trade secrets, I can't say more, but what I can tell you is that in the future, luxury brands from all over the world will enter China, and if they want to be recognized by the Chinese, they must see its brand products in my store, and my store only sells the world's top luxury goods, only the world's top brands, like Ralph Lauren, Don Ke Naer's second- and third-tier brands want to enter my store? Don't even think about it!"
Well, I was just rejected by these two companies, and there was no pressure to step on it.
The words are very arrogant.
The brands that are so arrogant that they don't seem to be in Wang Qiang's store are not worthy of being luxury goods in China, and they are not worthy of being called famous brands.
Wang Qiang thought about it for a while, and then lowered his posture to estimate that it was also rejected material, it is better to brag about it, for example, he told Jacob that his store is synonymous with luxury brands, just like the Paris fashion show, your brand has not been on the Paris fashion show and is embarrassed to say that it is a famous brand?
Similarly.
Wang Qiang's luxury store is like the Paris fashion show in China, only he is more powerful, the Paris fashion show is nothing more than fashion, and he boasts that his store contains all the top luxury goods.
He told Jacob more directly that if a luxury brand does not cooperate with him, it will be very difficult for Chinese to enter the Chinese market in the future.
What is the actual situation?
In fact, he didn't even have a full store.
Anyway, you don't have to pay taxes to brag about it, so if you don't blow it at this time, you won't have to wait for when.
Sure enough, after Wang Qiang finished saying this, Jacob showed a solemn look, he looked at Wang Qiang for the first time, and said in a very respectful tone: "Mr. Wang, please wait a moment, I can't do such a thing, I need to report to our president." ”
Wang Qiang's heart tightened, the cowhide seemed to be blowing a little big, but it had already been blown out, and he must continue to blow hard, so he had to pretend that it was like that and nodded, "Okay." ”
