Chapter 82 (undergoing overhaul, please collect it first, and read it later)
Before Lin Yi could speak, Ferran said that there was another important point: "Patience is the cornerstone of victory, and whoever is in a hurry in the negotiation will lose." I was going to leave the two of us here to talk slowly. But I didn't expect Taidong to reveal to me that other negotiation partners are actually grinding time!"
Lin Yi was stunned when he heard this, but reacted in a moment: "Is it that someone else plans to copy, so they have to grab time?" It seems that this Taidong company is really sincere!"
Fei Lan sneered: "Although there is a crane machine, the main product in the past two years has not been able to recover the cost." Taidong has lost a lot of money, and he can't raise money from the stock market, and he is about to decline, so he doesn't grasp the life-saving straw!"
Lin Yi was happy to hear it: "That's right, if you can copy it, it is estimated that it will also copy it." Product development and marketing can require a lot of money! A businessman who does not pursue profits means that he is not qualified. β
On the U.S. side, after Atari got off to a good start, Japanese companies here immediately followed suit. The RB agency of "Table Tennis" is in the hands of Taidong and Sega. Now he has a joint venture with Heaven, and the other party's vision is not bad, but his luck is not very good.
"70% of the shares, that's not bad. But with a budget of 50 million US dollars, why do you need so much?" although Lin Yi asked, his tone was very calm, and he did not mean to accuse.
Phelan replied calmly: "In order to defend against the copycat, we must rush for time. Taidong has no money, so we have to get the big head. Compared with the United States and Singapore, although the investment has more than doubled, it can be distributed nationwide in a month. β
That's true, after all, time is money. If you can't use the media, you can only spend your own money to publicize it. However, a month, how can it be so fast?"
"Taidong provides a mature team, as well as factories and collaborators, and as an established company, the sales channel is also very complete. As long as the arcade machine leaves the factory and the marketing promotion keeps up, the products of Paradise Games will soon be able to land on the full RB. β
Lin Yi thought about it and quickly made up his mind: even if the research and development of the host is postponed, it must seize the RB market. The potential of the opponents here is terrifying. Once it grows, Biadari is difficult to deal with. So this piece of fat, he had to take it first.
Seeing the boss nodding, Fei Lan glanced at Xiangyanghua: "The people from Taidong have proposed to hold a banquet to welcome your arrival." But Miss Xiang, it's better not to go!"
After the cooperation is confirmed, this is the proper meaning of the question, and Lin Yi is not easy to refuse. He gave his girlfriend a look and reassured her.
The suggestion is very correct, Sunflower didn't come, it's right! RB people are usually very serious, and they are serious when they eat. But after drinking, the atmosphere began to heat up. And after getting drunk, it's even more profligate!
Although at Phelan's request, there was no female body, but telling some erotic jokes, even harassing the waiters, and stretching out Lushan's claws to the female staff, everyone did it with peace of mind.
Phelan whispered, "RB's moral system values etiquette and humility the most. But in terms of sexuality, there is no restraint, and there is no talk of immorality after drinking. I think this is a natural backlash of human nature after being overly repressed. β
The Japanese side came up and apologized: "President Mikhail, due to his daughter's illness, I was not able to attend this time. Please allow me to express my sincere apologies to your distinguished guest on his behalf. β
In this way, among the people present at the banquet, Shu Lin Yi had the highest status. Interestingly, someone else has to bow 90 degrees, and he just needs to nod his head slightly in response.
With such an arrogant posture, if it were in the United States, the other side would definitely walk away. But here is RB, and of all social norms, respecting hierarchical differences is a top priority!
The Japanese members introduced in turn, and when it was the turn of a young man, Ferran emphatically pointed out: "This is the head of the sales department of the island farming and joint venture company. β
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows: "It doesn't seem to be very old, is it going through the back door?" I heard that seniority is very important here......
"The reason why he got to the top in the morning was because he made a promise that he could sell $6,000 for every Paradise Arcade machine!"
In an uproar, Lin Yi knocked over the wine and poured his pants through. He couldn't believe it: "$6,000, how is it possible? This retail price is equivalent to twice that of the United States!"
Phelan picked up the wine glass and took a sip gently: "Give up others and choose Taidong, this commitment is also the reason." β
Because the matter was more complicated, there was no further conversation at the wine table. The Japanese banquet was very long, and the two didn't want to waste time, so they decided to leave the table early.
At RB, any behavior of senior leaders will not be questioned by subordinates. Therefore, Lin Yi's departure from the table will not make people feel unhappy, but can make his subordinates relax their spirits, and they can be more unscrupulous!
Although Sunflower said that she was relieved, after her fiancΓ© came back, she still twitched her nose. She was relieved that she didn't smell the powder.
His girlfriend is so cute, Lin Yi couldn't help but step forward and send a kiss of comfort!
Letting the girl also listen, Lin Yi hurriedly asked: "$6,000, such an exaggerated retail price, why do you agree?"
Phelan asked slowly: "Of course there is reasonableness, but the root of the matter lies in RB's export strategy." It's a long story, you've seen a lot of RB people, do you have any special feelings?"
Lin Yi was still recalling, but his girlfriend took the lead: "Everyone is in a hurry, and their eyes are shining." It's as if in front of them, there are Cotai Strips everywhere. β
Phelan nodded: "After the defeat of World War II, RB understands that military rise does not work. Therefore, it is hoped that through economic rise, the old enemy of the United States will be trampled under their feet! Whether it is automobiles or electrical appliances, whether it is R&D or management, in order to defeat the opponent, the RB people have worked hard. β
Lin Yi suddenly remembered that after the "Plaza Agreement", RB first lost 10 years, then 20 years, and finally another 30 years, and never recovered.
Seeing the boss shaking his head, Phelan misunderstood: "It seems that we think the same thing, knowing that the United States cannot condone the rise of RB." But RB people don't think so, and they work so hard that they die of overwork. And in terms of price wars, they are also very willing to bleed! RB black-and-white televisions sell for $260 in the United States and $620 in China! However, consumers here are quite willing. β
Lin Yi frowned and pondered, he remembered an interesting anecdote - Chinese tourists go to the United States and often sweep Moutai. This shows that American Moutai, plus shipping and tariffs, is also much cheaper than in China!
Phelan concluded: "Because of the export-oriented economic strategy, the same commodity is expensive at home and cheap abroad. So here, it is normal for raw material procurement and product sales, price doubles. β
Lin Yi nodded in thanks: "The RB market is the focus of Asia, and it is really important to understand it. Hearing what you said so much, I feel a lot more confident about sitting in the Asian paradise. β
Understood in his heart, Phelan smiled back.
