Chapter 215: Compromise
"If Zhao said so, I can accept it a little bit as a representative. www.biquge.info But the facts are also very obvious, Zhao, and two gentlemen, not that I brag about my own brand, with the strong capital and development team that Estee Lauder has, and the scientific research institution, it is completely possible for us to complete this project independently. But as you said, this is your home field, and it's not very good for me to add too much of my emotions and stir things up here, so let's do it, Zhao, I'll give you a personal opinion, if you can promise me one thing, we can achieve a 25% net profit method, I don't know if you can agree?"
"Hehe, Mr. Alexander, the calculation has come to me, and if you think about it, if Biotherm and LancΓ΄me don't give an inch, they will naturally find me in trouble. β
"It's not Zhao who is troublesome, Zhao, it's that you have a technical level in your hands, I also said it when I talked to you in private, and our president also likes this new technology developed by others. β
"That incident probably doesn't have much to do with it now. β
"On the contrary, Zhao, if we can give us the right to use that technology even if it is just for application, then the funds and related expenses of our technology research and development department will naturally be reduced, so that the result is that our contribution will also be reduced accordingly, and the net profit and benefits of the natural four-point plan will be easy to negotiate, otherwise, even if I can accept it personally, the president will not accept this agreement as long as 25% of the benefits and net profits. β
"Estee Lauder, don't go too far, even 25 percent of the net profit and income can't satisfy your appetite, what do you want? β
"Hee-hee... In response to Baptiste's protest, Alexander just sneered, and looked at Zhao Lingling with wrong eyes.
"Hey, sister, what kind of technology moved Estee Lauder too?
"There's one, the refining and purification technology developed by two geniuses who are both a bit perverted. It was judged by the chairman of the Maria jury to be too advanced to be a technology that would be unacceptable to use now. β
"Oh, I'll forget if you don't mention the name, yes, the first batch of Radiance Creams brought here was made using that technology. β
"yes. Don't talk yet, and listen to how Zhao always copes. β
"Hmm. β
The two girls looked at Zhao Lingling's expression quietly, anxious but unable to speak, on this occasion they were just the audience's vision, and they had no right to speak. At least so far.
"Alexander, although this technology is based on the same principle as a medical dialysis machine, if you want to get our technology at such a cheap price, it will inevitably taste like a wishful thinking. β
"No, Zhao, I think what I just said is clear enough, your new product research and development can rest assured to us, in addition, we will also be responsible for the assembly line production of new products, Biotherm is responsible for providing funds and assembly line production, LancΓ΄me and you are responsible for the design and development of posters, promotional videos and advertising, the provision of funds and the production process, I don't know if I can be satisfied with this arrangement?"
"At least initially. This is possible, of course, the specific details need to be studied by the presidents before they can be decided, but as Mr. Alexander and several others know, it seems that it would not be a good idea to entrust all the new product development projects to you, so on the one hand, it is also to reduce your burden, but also for our own sake, we have half of the share of the R&D project, and as a measure to make up for it, we can temporarily use half of the refining and purification technology by you in this development project. Of course, you have to make sure that you get a quarter of the profit and the share of the revenue, what do you think?"
"Hmmm... It's a reluctance for me. Of course, this kind of thing still needs to be decided by our president, and I will contact him in a while and then give you an answer. Okay, Zhao. β
"Well, in addition to this cooperation, Mr. Alexander, we have received an order for more than 100,000 pieces of production plan, and we originally planned to cooperate with you and two other companies on this project. If you don't do it again, we can consider canceling the order. β
"Hehe, Zhao, you are powerful enough, very insidious and cunning, I will contact our president, please wait a moment and forgive me for being a little unaccompanied. Alexander said, leaving his place, and went to a corner of the room to hang up the phone in a small voice.
Now the focus of the conflict is Estee Lauder's opinion, and the other two parties have fully accepted Zhao Lingling's proposal.
While he was on the phone, Zhao Lingling took out the copies of the contracts for several orders for goods and handed them to the other two for them to look at, to confirm what she said, and also to ask them to discuss the share of production and the proportion and quantity occupied.
"Zhao, your company is really amazing, it has received such a large order, it is really gratifying, even I am happy for you, I think these two French buyers will be handed over to us, isn't it, Bourzeva." β
"Well, it's pretty close, so it's easy and convenient for us to deliver. As for the quality and whether it can be delivered on time, Zhao, you don't have to worry, this is no problem, the largest output value of our assembly line operation in a month has exceeded 300,000 pieces, you just need to work out the quality and standards and hand over to us the relevant process and ingredients information, we guarantee that we can deliver on time, if there is a delay, I will compensate ten times the price of your goods, how about it, enough to reassure you. β
"Thank you two, what you said makes me feel at ease, do you know? Suddenly receiving a few such large orders is not an honor for us, but a little guilty and can't eat it, so I want to borrow your opinions, specific relevant formula and process information, I will instruct the relevant personnel of our company to rush to your company to explain in detail, now please have made a firm decision to sign here. β
"Oh, no, no, Zhao, although we are very firm, but this kind of thing still needs to be signed by the president, isn't it? This cooperation intention with Shelley's girl is the same, isn't it? It also belongs to one of the four-party talks, isn't it?"
"Well, it can be said that hehe, this should be regarded as another cooperation intention, of course, there is no problem when it is counted together. β
"Well, we're just waiting for Estee Lauder's reply, and to be honest, I think they're a bit conceited. β
"To be honest, I think so too. We in France are the world's capital of beauty products, and American brands are simply not in the stream, and now they can be so hot. It's hard to accept. β
The representatives of the two French brands chattered on the side, Zhao Lingling didn't pay attention to it, but was very interested in Alexander, who was secretly talking on the phone on the side, until he put the phone and walked over, his eyes temporarily left.
"Negotiated Zhao, now what I am talking about is the personal opinion of our president, according to the plan we just said, that is, you sell us half of the refining and purification technology as a deduction, and we will properly use it in the process production and development department to reduce costs, in return, our share of profits and net profit will be maintained at 25% inconvenience, do you think this is acceptable to you?"
"It's not easy, it's rare to let the president of your company relax, I'm not a tiger who will eat the sky, of course, I'll accept it when we meet, we will implement this plan, Mr. Bourzheva and Mr. Baptiste, do you have any opinions on deciding on the project you are responsible for?"
"If we let one provide funds, it seems a little difficult, Zhao, you know, this is a huge project, the development of each new product requires a lot of expenses, even if the appropriation of more than 10 million may not be able to earn so much income, and just let our side be responsible, it seems that there is a bit of excessive financial pressure, I see if it is... β
"I understand your opinion, Mr. Bourzeva, and I didn't have that intention at the beginning, and the decision just now was just the words of Estee Lauder, represented by Alexander, no problem, at least we will contribute a part, Mr. Baptiste, I don't know if you can also bear a little more, you can take more of the profit share of the net profit. β
"Of course, since it's a four-party meeting, there's nothing you can't do, everyone has to do their best. β
The three of them seemed to be wearing a pair of pants, but they made Alexander, the representative of Estee Lauder, a little embarrassed.
"Okay everyone, the specific trademark and listing date, test items and other details I will discuss with your presidents in detail, after this meeting we have decided a lot of things, and some things have nothing to do with the overall situation, today's meeting is very pleasant, everyone is also very hard, I have booked a table of luxurious banquet, I don't know if it will be in line with your taste, please enjoy a face to attend, but also a witness to the success of our cooperation, as a toast, oh, we will go to the venue now." γ β
Zhao Lingling said, got up and left the seat, and walked towards the venue with representatives of several brands and onlookers. (To be continued.) )
