Chapter 137 VAM Agreements
"Zhang, you're not joking with me, are you?" In an empty room, Primham looked at Zhang Heng in disbelief.
Not only him, but the two people who followed were equally shocked by what they had just heard.
Zhang Heng said solemnly: "I don't have time to joke with you, Mr. Primham, I had an official visit to your company this Wednesday, but unfortunately you were not there at that time." ”
Primham coughed a few times: "Well, that's right, I leave the day-to-day management of the company to reliable subordinates, and I fully trust them." ”
"Your wise and unconventional management is admirable. Zhang Heng gave a thumbs up, and Spielberg next to him tried not to let his face fall.
Primham was very impressed by his compliment, and said with a smile: "Since you proposed to buy Mirohua, then give me an offer." ”
"$10 million!"
Primham didn't rush to refuse, and pondered.
In fact, this offer is almost within the range that he could originally recognize, not long after the Odyssey was listed last year, several companies have sent people to contact him, and most of the quotations are between 6 million and 9 million, Zhang Heng's offer is the highest among them, and he should agree immediately to last autumn.
However, this is not last year, Odyssey brought in $1.7 million in just four months, and Primham's original despair of Mirova suddenly swelled again.
If Brandt's sales plan can be realized, then I can earn $10 million this year!
In this case, your $10 million is too much to underestimate Mirohua.
Finally making up his mind, he spoke: "I'm sorry, maybe you are also aware of the euphoric changes that have taken place in Mirova recently, so in this case, I can't agree to sell the company to you at such a low price." ”
"Maybe Mr Primham is still looking forward to a better Odyssey this year, but unfortunately, I think this is the best time to sell Miroi. Zhang Heng shook his head regretfully.
Priham stared at him nervously: "Zhang, are you not optimistic about the future of the Odyssey?"
Zhang Heng said helplessly: "I'm sorry, although it's easy to get bored to be honest, I do hold this point of view." ”
Primham frowned and thought for a while, and shook his head again and again, "It's impossible, we will definitely be able to double our sales this year, so please dispel this idea." ”
Zhang Heng smiled: "Mr. Primham, why don't we play an interesting game, but before that, I have to confirm some information from you......"
After determining the quarterly sales target of Odyssey to Primham, Zhang Heng proposed a VAM agreement, which is an option trading model often adopted by the European and American business circles, which can effectively solve the problem of the inability to sign a contract between the two parties due to the large difference in the determination of the future value of the subject matter.
"Your company's sales target for the first quarter of the Odyssey is 150,000 units. Zhang Heng repeated, expressing deep condolences to Brant in his heart, this ambitious business executive, did not expect that the customer service department would have been unreined a long time ago, and the problem could not be fed back to the business department in time.
"Then in the first quarter of this year, as long as Odyssey can achieve 100,000 sales, I will pay you $1 million, and I will never mention the acquisition of Mirova again. ”
"Really?" Primham narrowed.
"Sure, but there's the second half of the agreement. Zhang Heng continued, "If it is less than 100,000 units, then you will sell Mirohua to me for 10 million US dollars!"
Primham looked at him: "Aren't you afraid that when the time comes, in order to win your money, I will spend some money myself to fill up sales?"
If you are willing to spend 2 million or even 3 million, and lose the 1 million that you would have won me, I will admit it!
Yesterday, I spent a day visiting the lowest retailers and some users in the San Francisco area, and collected a lot of information that cannot be seen on the surface, Zhang Heng is very confident in this, and said with a smile: "I don't care, anyway, this game is definitely beneficial to you, it depends on whether you have the confidence and interest to play this." ”
"How do I trust that you have $1 million to pay me, and what if you don't fulfill your bet?"
"This is the agency contract signed between my company and 3M, this is the entrustment contract between me and Los Angeles Dolvin Investment Company, the original is in the hotel, you can find an accountant or lawyer to come and verify it tomorrow." ”
Zhang Heng had already prepared, and took out two copies of materials from his pocket, which were the pages of the relevant contract with the payment figures.
"As for the risk of default, we can sign a formal agreement, and my lawyer is also in the hotel, so it shouldn't be a big problem. ”
Primham put down two pieces of paper and looked at him with deep eyes, "Your person and company are in Xiangjiang, when the time comes, where can I find you, you need a guarantor whose property meets the standards!"
His worries are not unreasonable, if Zhang Heng's breach of contract does not appear, the guarantor can bear the risk of compensation, but that is the subject of 1 million US dollars, Zhang Heng is thinking about who to find as the guarantor.
Lao Tian?
No, you can't let Priham know that Tian Lenong knows him, maybe it will hurt him.
James?
It's always troublesome for their family, and it's really hard to go.
By the way, looking for William, he will definitely not worry about problems, and he can also give some material returns.
"Me!" Zhang Heng was about to speak, Olivia suddenly said crisply, "I don't have much cash, but with the house I bought for 550,000 yuan in Malibu, it should be 1 million." ”
Primham shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, Ollie, your house is now worth up to 500,000 yuan after depreciation, and it is difficult to realize fixed assets, so you need to discount it again, so these are far from enough." ”
"Mr. Primham, plus I should be enough, this is my Wells Fargo bank card, which has $350,000 on it, which is all my property. Spielberg pulled out a bank card and raised it.
"Are you all willing to vouch for him?" Zhang Heng and Primham asked in surprise at the same time.
......
Half an hour later, Lin Liang was picked up from the hotel by ATV, and Primham's personal lawyer was at the party, and the two sides quickly drew up a VAM agreement.
However, on the purchase price, Primham played a trick, he asked for a 20% increase on the top of the $10 million, that is, $12 million.
His calculation can be described as shrewd, if he finally has to sell Mirova to fulfill this agreement, it means that the sales of the Odyssey in the first quarter must be less than 90,000 units, and the annual sales volume should be difficult to exceed 350,000 units, which means that the annual dividend he can get out of his pocket will not be more than 5 million.
In this unfavorable market situation, a one-time income of $12 million is completely acceptable to him, and there will be no psychological barriers.
Of course, that was the worst-case scenario, and he still believed in his heart that he could easily earn the $1 million windfall.
All the people present signed the agreement, and both sides put away their own share, Zhang Heng breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and Primham smiled and said: "No matter what the result is, Zhang and I are friends, now I will accompany you down to have a drink." ”
"Neo, forget it, I'm tired today and want to go back and rest early. Olivia said suddenly.
"Alright then, I'll see you off at the hotel tomorrow. Primham stretched out his hands helplessly, and when a few people walked out, he suddenly came to Zhang Heng's ear, and his tone was very complicated.
"Zhang, you have a good eye and luck, do you want to arrange a new special room here for you, I haven't used it yet." ”
