Chapter 107: I Want Copyright
"Mr. Ando, although the plan you said is a normal plan, this electronic pet is special and must be priced by me. Xu Qing shook his head and refused.
Keita Ando knocked on the table, his expression a little serious:
"Mr. Xu, it's okay if you don't agree with the second plan, but the 25% share ratio is too low, I can give you an account, why does Aeon Group want a 35% share ratio.
Every item on the AEON Group's shelves has been carefully selected and is one of the best in the industry.
For example, for products such as shampoo, only a few of the best shampoo brands are placed on the shelves of the AEON Group.
And the position of the shelf is limited, a new product on the shelf, then another product must be taken off the shelf.
Electronic pets are not even brands at the moment, let alone those well-known toy brands.
If the electronic pet is to be put on the shelves of the AEON Group, then the AEON Group will have to remove another toy brand from the shelves.
Moreover, Honor requires Aeon Group to provide a larger and better shelf location and area than most toy brands.
The AEON Group may even have to remove two or more toy brands from the shelves, so the AEON Group has paid a relatively large price in this regard. ”
Keita Ando stopped here and gave Xu Qing time to digest the information.
Xu Qing's smile remained unchanged and motioned for Keita Ando to continue.
Keita Ando couldn't see the change in Xu Qing's expression, so he could only continue:
"AEON Group has hundreds of stores in Japan, most of which are located in large and medium-sized cities, accounting for more than 90%.
Glory requires all Aeon Group stores in large and medium-sized cities in Japan to put electronic pets on the shelves at the same time, and we can do this request of Honor, but the price to pay is also very large.
Except for famous Japanese brands or world famous brands, AEON Group will not list the same product in all stores in large and medium-sized cities.
Because the preferences of people in each region of Japan are different, some brands are popular in one region, but they may not be so popular in another.
The AEON Group decides which products to put on the shelves based on the preferences of the people in each region.
Electronic pets are not even brands, according to normal circumstances, any Aeon Group stores will not put electronic pets on the shelves, let alone in all large and medium-sized cities in Japan Aeon Group stores at the same time on the shelves.
I am the vice chairman of AEON Group, and I am also responsible for this cooperation with Honor, and now I can say that I have both prosperity and loss with Honor.
If the sales volume of electronic pets does not meet the requirements of the AEON Group, I, the person in charge, will also be punished by the AEON Group.
So the price to pay is not only for the AEON Group, but also for me, the vice president of the AEON Group. ”
Keita Ando's expression became more and more serious.
Xu Qing interrupted Keita Ando's words: "Mr. Ando, I know that the sales of electronic pets do not meet the requirements of the Aeon Group, and it will make you pay some price.
However, our Honor Company's $30 million deposit is enough to compensate you for these costs. ”
Let Wal-Mart, Carrefour, Aeon Group, these channel providers agree to put electronic pets on the shelves, Xu Qing paid a huge deposit.
If the sales of e-pets do not meet their requirements, these deposits will be used as compensation for them.
Regardless of whether the sales of electronic pet stores are good or not, they can be said to have no losses.
If the sales are good, it goes without saying that they all make a lot of money, and if the sales are not good, they can also get a huge compensation fee.
This is also something that can't be helped, the strength of these channel providers is far stronger than Xu Qing, they are in a strong position.
What's more, electronic pets do not have any popularity, and these channel providers are not optimistic about the sales of electronic pets.
They saw that there would be no loss no matter what, so they agreed to put the electronic pet on the shelves.
Keita Ando took a sip of tea, still with a serious expression: "Mr. Xu, $30 million is indeed enough to compensate for the losses of the Aeon Group, but these losses are tangible, superficial losses.
There are also intangible losses that Honor has not compensated, such as the loss of brand reputation of the Aeon Group.
Glory Company asked Aeon Group to cooperate with electronic pets to do publicity, which is a very normal thing, and it is normal for new products to be put on the shelves and publicized.
However, the publicity method required by the honor company is a bit large and many, and all the Aeon Group stores in large and medium-sized cities in Japan cooperate with electronic pets to do propaganda at the same time, and this kind of treatment can only be enjoyed by a very few world-renowned brands.
If the sales of the electronic pet are poor and the evaluation is very low, it will also lose the brand reputation of the AEON Group.
Many people will think that the Aeon Group is engaged in such a large propaganda front, but it is promoting very poor products.
People will doubt the brand reputation of the AEON Group and reduce their trust in the AEON Group. ”
After listening to Keita Ando's words, Xu Qing admired Keita Ando's speaking art, and he deserved to be the vice president of a Fortune 500 company with strong ability.
Keita Ando's words are very convincing, and they sound very reasonable.
But Xu Qing was not confused by this passage, the conditions put forward by Honor were reasonable, and Wal-Mart and Carrefour, which were more powerful than the Aeon Group, also agreed to Honor's conditions.
Only the Aeon Group is entangled in these conditions, and the drunkard does not mean to drink, and he has been talking to Keita Ando for so long.
Xu Qing can be sure that Keita Ando's purpose is not to increase the share ratio, but to get other benefits through this.
Xu Qing didn't bother to think about it, and asked Keita Ando directly: "Mr. Ando, what you said is very reasonable, and I agree with it, but I still don't agree with the 35% sharing ratio, which is too high!"
Mr. Ando can make other requests for compensation, and we will continue to negotiate to see if we can find a mutually acceptable cooperation plan. ”
Kei Ando's serious expression suddenly changed to a full smile: "It is best for Mr. Xu to understand the difficulties of the Aeon Group, and the Aeon Group also has a cooperation plan, and this plan is very beneficial to both parties."
"Oh, what cooperation plan?" Xu Qing's expression was faint.
"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" written by Mr. Xu has swept the world, has been followed by countless people, and many people in Japan like it.
The president of Iwanami Bookstore and I are friends, and he told me that Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is a sacred book that brings great benefits to Iwanami Bookstore, and he is very grateful to you.
AEON Group is a supermarket and does not have a book sales business, so it is a pity that we cannot cooperate with Mr. Xu in the sales of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".
But there is one thing we can work with, the film rights to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
AEON Group has an investment arm that invests in many industries, including the film and television industry, and AEON Group is optimistic about the film prospects of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
So I want to work with Mr. Xu on the film "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". ”
