Chapter 170: The sky-high asking price
During Qi Zimo's deep sleep, a plane that set sail from Los Angeles landed steadily at Incheon Airport, and an elite team of thirty people, led by a tall blonde woman, slowly walked out of the VIP passage, and Nan Tianyi, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately greeted him.

"He?" The tall woman saw that there was only Nan Tianyi alone, and her face was greatly displeased.
"The owner only came back early in the morning and was still resting. β
The western girl blinked her big dark blue eyes, and she didn't seem surprised.
"Let's go back to the resting place first. The girl put back on the big sunglasses she had taken off and stepped forward.
No more, no less, exactly fifteen days, Qi Zimo appeared again in the Hyundai Building. Slightly different from last time, the accompanying lineup has been expanded by more than 10 times.
"Hi beautiful young lady, nice to meet you. β
Li Jincheng, who carefully checked his appearance, suddenly saw a superb beauty, and rushed to the front of others to lick his face and put it on. The blonde beauty only squinted at him, then ignored it and walked directly towards Qi Zimo.
"Jamie, long time no see. Qi Zimo unexpectedly took the initiative to open his arms to the woman.
"It's been so long that I've forgotten what you look like. I wanted to give Qi Zimo a little face, but I still couldn't hold back my thoughts, and Jamie threw himself into that familiar and unfamiliar embrace.
Jamie and Qi Zimo get along in a weird way, thinking about each other but never caring about each other's schedules, and they don't notify each other in advance in order to meet each other on purpose. When Qi Zimo returned to Los Angeles some time ago, Jamie happened to take the team to work overtime in New York to catch up with the performance software. All in all, the two have not seen each other for nearly seven months, which is even more sparse than the normal communication between superiors and subordinates.
The two have a special way of communicating feelings, and they don't need to say more greetings in public to reduce the sense of alienation that the two have not seen each other for a long time, Qi Zimo turned to greet the other three leaders.
"Tim, Cook, Hans, and David, David Lane. The first three are the top leaders of Qi Zimo's operation team, lawyer team, and public relations team, and the last David Lane is the project leader who was severely criticized by Qi Zimo in a video conference for sabotage last time.
Tim, Cook, and Hans worked with Qi Zimo many times without saying much, and after politely responding to the boss, they stood aside. David Lane at the end hesitated and didn't dare to step forward, it should be that Qi Zimo's majestic appearance of anger last time left a lot of shadows in his young heart.
"This time you're here to find beauty in Asia, and your tastes have changed?" Qi Zi said mockingly, and everyone laughed.
"Boss, you're joking. I'm here to assist Vice President Jamie with the performance software pilot. β
"This is a serious matter, do it well. The results are good, the profit of 10 points of this project plus 1 month of vacation is all yours. β
Qi Zimo had high expectations for performance software and was the first product to be launched by the Asian company since its founding.
A team of dozens of people easily attracted the attention of passers-by and company employees, and Minister Han, who got the news, personally came down to greet him.
"Fortunately, Minister Han had the foresight, otherwise the reception room last time would not have been able to accommodate us people. β
The meeting was conducted in a formal location, where modern executives usually hold group meetings. The number of Hyundai Group representatives attending the talks has also increased considerably. In addition to the two highly respected directors, Chung Yong-hee and Chung Young-jun, the main leaders and deputy leaders of various departments were all present, including Minister Jung Yoon-woo, who had a collision in the first meeting.
"Last time, we were negligent, and after the talks, I held a banquet to make amends to Director Qi. Minister Han was also cheerful enough to admit that he was not well entertained last time.
"Yes, but let's push it to the celebration banquet together, now everyone's time is precious. β
"Okay, let's get straight to the point. β
Without waiting for Qi Zimo's instructions, Jamie, who was on his left, stepped onto the podium and connected the analysis report he brought to the display.
"According to the detailed data provided by you, we have conducted a detailed study using the most advanced evaluation methods and systems, focusing on your innovation structure, management infrastructure, and cultural structure, and the final comprehensive data shows that your group's performance in these three aspects is only 22%, ranking in the middle and bottom of our company's big data control over the automobile manufacturing industry. β
As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one. When modern representative Fang Zheng wondered why it was not Qi Zimo himself who took the stage to speak, Jamie broke people's doubts about her with her professional and convincing thoughtful analysis.
"To tell you the truth, your group's management system is very backward. There are very few cases of self-innovation and reform with oriental characteristics, and the whole system is very similar to the management style of the German Mercedes-Benz company ten years ago, and the local protectionism and special national conditions of South Korea mask this stark gap and make you misjudge the form. β
"Most of your group's industries are in the middle and upper reaches of the global industrial chain, and the early development policy is the same as referring to the development process of cash enterprises in developed economies in Europe and the United States, and there is no need for too much exploration and innovation. Nowadays, the market economy pattern is changing dramatically, especially the rise of the eastern market due to the rise of China, Asia as a whole is in the stage of moving from industry 2.0 to industry 3.0, which is from a relatively closed economic environment to a relatively open economic environment. In this case, the value of the Western frame of reference for the development of your group is getting weaker and weaker, the most direct manifestation is that the strategic planning of the enterprise is becoming more and more difficult to design, in addition to the direction can still be grasped, the specific strategic implementation rules can only stay at the theoretical level, it is difficult to do in reality, this is the development plan of your group in the past two years, the development plan studied by the senior level in the past two years looks good, but the implementation of the middle and lower reaches of the middle and lower reaches can not be implemented at all, resulting in N more innovation and reform stillborn, so that your group regardless of whether it encounters this crisis, the development path has reached the point of having to innovateγ β
Jamie took advantage of the situation to transform the PPT from the first stage of the current situation analysis to the second stage of the reform idea.
"The market demand in the new business era is characterized by scattered and changeable, and the basic form of the new organization's "network chain" is more flexible and efficient than the traditional organization in the shape of a "pyramid", which we believe is in line with the strategic direction of your group's transformation. We will carry out comprehensive reform from bottom to top from the characteristics of value creation ability structure, equity structure, governance structure, organizational structure, value unit structure, management infrastructure, customer structure, talent structure, and cultural structure.......
Jamie's speech was wonderful, and the entire conference room fell silent.
Qi Zimo is pleased that Jamie can already be on his own, and at the same time, he is also combing in his mind a series of work to be carried out after accepting the modern era, Jamie's analysis report is not comprehensive, but the general direction will not be biased, and the reform within the group has traces to follow, but the crisis faced by the modern group is not solved by internal reform. It will take at least half a year to smoothly reform from top to bottom and then reflect market feedback, and the modern overstretched sales situation requires a quick painkiller to survive. Therefore, Qi Zimo's task is not only to treat the root cause in depth as usual, but also to quickly treat the symptoms from the surface.
"Overall, it's a bit serious, but it's not incurable. If your group can fully cooperate with our work, I believe that in the near future, Hyundai Group will be able to get out of the predicament and rejuvenate itself. β
Jamie's analytical speech lasted more than an hour, from the cause to the current situation, from the current situation to the current situation, and then based on the analysis of the results. Reasonable, progressive layer by layer. In the key points of the demonstration, there was not a word of redundancy, and the modern representatives who were happy and convinced nodded to the two leading directors after some exchange of ears, and they must have been quite satisfied.
After the report was reported, the next step was the confidential negotiation stage, and the irrelevant personnel withdrew one after another, leaving only the two directors and Minister Han of Hyundai representatives. And Qi Zimo's side was even more straightforward, leaving only Cook from the lawyer team, and even Jamie consciously avoided suspicion.
"I'm Jung Yong-hee, my father, Jung You-ha, chairman of Hyundai Group"
"I'm Zheng Rongjun, the third in my family. β
The two directors deliberately reintroduced themselves to prove that they were qualified to discuss the next topic with Qi Zimo.
"Director Qi, we have basically recognized your strength. However, whether your company's charging method and amount are too unbelievable, our Hyundai Group is not a middle-to-lower enterprise the size of a sesame seed. β
It was Minister Han who took the initiative to negotiate.
"You read the amount of the charge right, the company's finance department has checked it repeatedly. General Electric, Mars, and General Dynamics are not small companies, and there is no difference in the charging method, but there is a slight difference in the actual amount. Qi Zimo replied with a pertinent voice.
Minister Han's tone was sluggish, and when they checked the qualifications of GQ's operation, of course they knew that these giants had cooperated with them, and the arrogance in their bones made them negligent for a while, forgetting that this is international cooperation and not just limited to South Korea, which led to a temporary verbal disadvantage.
"Just because we're a company big and strong doesn't mean we're going to accept this outrageous fee and the amount of money we have to deal with. β
Oriental people will have a natural sense of resistance to high service consumption, and they subconsciously believe that the value of money is not worth it, and the actual transaction of goods will make people more acceptable.
Qi Zi was silent about this kind of thought, and said unhurriedly: "Your group has at least two transactions worth tens of billions of dollars every year, and this time such resistance is just a misunderstanding that our service is not worth so much money. β
Without waiting for Minister Han to explain, and without him having to explain, Qi Zimo handed them a statistical statistic.
"Five years ago, the Department Store survived bankruptcy, and its year-end economic report showed that the company not only covered a $7.3 billion loss, but also made a net profit of $8.4 billion. β
"General Electric's internal reform four years ago, the second year's profit was as high as 14.7 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 13.7%, the industrial structure is valid for five years, and the sustained net profit growth of more than 10% has continued for three years. β
"After the restructuring of Mars' Asia division after the PR crisis was eliminated, it earned $2.4 billion for the company that year on the books alone, and as for the intangible tangible benefits in other areas, you can estimate it in your heart. β
"Now back to the point. Qi Zimo habitually tidied up the cuffs of his suit.
"So far, Hyundai stocks have fallen 4 times, 16 percentage points away from the 14-year peak point, and the market value loss is more than $11 billion, and the bottom line standard for our two sides is that Hyundai stocks have risen to 1.1 times the 14-year peak point, which is equivalent to the market value of your group will earn back more than $20 billion. Not only that, but our cooperation is a comprehensive reform cooperation, and the intangible benefits brought to you by the new management system after the success of the project in the next few years are incomparable to the short-term benefits. Do you still think that these billions of dollars are not worth it?"
What else can the modern representative say, the good and the bad have all been said by Qi Zimo.
"We admit you're right, but 6 percent of the shares don't work, and our fourth largest shareholder has less than 6 percent, which would cause panic among the board members. β
This time it was Director Zheng Yongxi who spoke, shares not only represent money, but more importantly, power status, and the sudden emergence of major shareholders will make the already complicated board of directors more complicated and difficult to control, which is the last thing he wants to see.
What is interesting is that Director Zheng Rongjun, who has the same status, did not say a word, and did not agree or object.
Qi Zimo looked at Director Zheng Rongxi with deep meaning and replied: "The note has already stated that there is only the right to dividends during the one-year period, and the same conditions for buying and selling are also given priority to you, so Director Zheng's worries are unnecessary. Of course, if your company has sufficient funds, we are more than happy to settle directly in cash, we only want money. β
Director Zheng Yongxi, who was opposed to the first army, was speechless, how could the group casually have billions of dollars of liquidity to pay for compensation, but the form of share exchange made them unwilling.
"In any case, the remuneration is really too high, and besides, it is the first time that we have cooperated with each other, should Director Qi show a little sincerity? "I can't talk about it positively, so Minister Han has no choice but to play the emotional card, which is quite easy to negotiate in Asian business.
Qi Zimo held his forehead with his hand, and he was disgusted by the negotiation atmosphere like buying vegetables in a vegetable market.
"So I take a step back, but it's also the last step. Bargaining is an insult to the value of our work. In order to stop the endless arguments, Qi Zimo drew a clear "bottom line" for the other party.
"Five percent plus Hyundai's two football clubs, the settlement method can be in the form of cash and shares. β
Although the two clubs together cannot be compared with the one-percent equity of Hyundai Group, the football club of the same name represents the face of the big chaebol in South Korea, and the significance is not simple.
Minister Han, who was about to veto this proposal, was interrupted by Qi Zimo: "The purpose of today's talks has almost been achieved, and the rest is left for next discussion." I hope that Mr. Zheng can come in person for the third meeting, and some requests require the old man's nod to be counted. β
At this point, the three of them could not be forcibly retained, and Minister Han personally sent Qi Zimo and the others away.
