Chapter 919: Cooperation
Although Lin Zukang's voice was not loud, it exploded above Williams' head like a thunderbolt, making this guy's legs weak and almost sitting on the ground, but fortunately he held on to the back of the chair in time to prevent himself from falling.
Williams looked at Xiao Ping in a daze and muttered in disbelief, "You...... You and Mr. Lin are good friends?How is this possible?!"
In Williams' view, Xiao Ping is just a coffee plantation owner, while Lin Zukang is a business tycoon who has dominated Nanyang for decades and has business all over the world. The two are too far apart regardless of age and identity, how can they become good friends?
However, now that the facts are in front of him, Williams has to accept this cruel truth. At this time, he didn't want to mention how much he regretted it, if he had known that Xiao Ping and Lin Zukang were good friends, who would dare to use the brains of the coffee garden and fight for a priority supply right like Ford and Piero!
However, there is no regret medicine in this world, and since Williams took the first step driven by greed, he had to suffer the consequences of doing so.
Looking at Williams, who looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, Xiao Ping said with a smile: "Mr. Williams, I heard that Mr. Lin is also very interested in my coffee garden, so I made a special trip to confirm it with him today, but ...... It seems that Mr. Lin has no intention of buying a coffee plantation!"
Xiao Ping's words were completely down, and he slapped Williams in the face in front of Lin Zukang. Xiao Ping did this because he couldn't get angry with Williams's approach. Xiao Ping obviously refused Williams' request to buy the coffee plantation, and this guy actually persevered to come over to Lin Zukang for help, which was too much.
listened to Xiao Ping's words. Lin Zukang looked at Williams with a pale face coldly and said, "You are doing these things outside in my name?"
Don't look at Lin Zukang, who is usually very easy-going to Xiao Ping, but after all, he is a business predator in charge of a huge business empire. At this time, the anger is also amazing. Williams, who bore the brunt of the attack, was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he immediately sat on the ground with his butt unstable.
Even if Williams is so embarrassed. It can't extinguish the anger in Lin Zukang's heart. He snorted coldly, pressed a button on the phone, and said coldly to his assistant, "Hao Lin, come to my study." ”
Lin Zukang is really dissatisfied with Williams. For a person like him, who has a very high prestige in the local area, what he hates most is that the people around him go outside to deceive him with his own signboard. This kind of self-reaping benefits and letting Lin Zukang carry the black pot will undoubtedly damage the reputation of Lin Zukang and his business empire.
This time, Williams just threatened Xiao Ping's head, so Lin Zukang could still know what he had done. What if there is another person who has nothing to do with Lin Zukang? Williams's trick is very likely to succeed, and Lin Zukang's black pot is also decided. This kind of thing is unbearable for Lin Zukang, and he will definitely punish Williams accordingly.
Hao Lin soon appeared in the study and said respectfully to Lin Zukang, "Mr. Lin." Please command. ”
"You record it. Lin Zukang looked at Williams coldly, and said to Hao Lin in a deep voice: "In view of Frank Williams' bad behavior, from now on, the Lin Group will suspend all commercial projects with it. From now on, this person will never be considered by the collaborators of Lin's enterprise, and no department or individual of Lin's enterprise shall have any business dealings with this person in any way!"
Hearing Lin Zukang's words, Williams' face turned pale, and he hissed: "Mr. Lin, you can't do this, we signed a contract!"
Not long ago, the Lin Group and Williams reached a cooperation agreement. The two companies have joined forces to create a chain of premium coffee stores. Both the Lin Group and Williams have invested millions of dollars in this regard, and if the cooperation is terminated now, the initial investment will be wasted.
For Lin Zukang, who has a big family, a loss of a few million dollars is nothing. It won't take long to earn it back. For Williams, however, it's all his possessions, so it's no wonder the guy is so excited.
But Lin Zukang doesn't care about Williams' situation. just said to him coldly: "That's right, we signed the contract." As you may recall, there is a special clause in the contract. That is, the two parties must not use each other's influence to benefit themselves outside the scope of this cooperation. Speaking of which, you broke the contract first!"
"But......" Williams wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lin Zukang mercilessly.
Lin Zukang waved his hand impatiently, as if he wanted to drive away the flies flying in front of him: "If you are not convinced, you can go to court, and my lawyer team will respond to the lawsuit." ”
Hao Lin had already recorded Lin Zukang's words and said to him respectfully: "Mr. Lin, I will go and convey your instructions to all departments of the group now. ”
"Go ahead. Lin Zukang nodded, pointed to Williams who collapsed to the ground and said, "Tell someone to get this guy away, don't stay here to be an eyesore." ”
In this big villa, Lin Zukang's words can always be implemented the fastest, and soon Williams was set up by two bodyguards with big shoulders and round waists. Xiao Ping watched this guy being dragged away, and couldn't help but think of the scene in the coffee garden a few days ago. Fortunately, the road conditions outside Lin Zukang's villa are very good, and this time Williams will not be splashed all over in muddy water.
When Williams was kicked out, Lin Zukang smiled apologetically at Xiao Ping: "At the beginning, I thought this guy had a very flexible brain and a hand in tasting coffee, so I chose him to cooperate." I really didn't expect Williams to be such a person, it was so disappointing to me. ”
"It's that this guy is too greedy, and it has nothing to do with you. Xiao Ping smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, are you cooperating with Williams and planning to open a coffee chain?"
Lin Zukang said: "Yes, I was going to open twenty high-end coffee chains in Europe and North America first. However, now that the cooperation with Williams has been terminated, this plan may be postponed. ”
Xiao Ping said: "Remember to inform me when your coffee chain opens, I can't help with other things, and I can still provide some excellent coffee beans." ”
"That's a must, and I'm not going to be polite to you. Lin Zukang nodded with a smile, and then said with an idea: "Xiao Xiaoyou, why don't we join forces to open this chain store, anyway, you have the best coffee beans, which are exactly what high-end coffee shops need." ”
Xiao Ping was also very interested in Lin Zukang's opening of a high-end coffee chain store, and after listening to his suggestion, he was also quite moved, and after thinking about it, he still hesitated a little and said: "Mr. Lin won't tell you, don't look at the coffee garden can produce the best coffee beans, but in fact, I really don't know anything about coffee, and I am really not sure about opening a high-end coffee shop." ”
Lin Zukang said disapprenously: "It's not a problem. I don't know how to open a coffee shop, don't I dare to open a coffee shop? We just need to grasp the general direction, and the specific affairs can be handled by someone who knows how to deal with it. In fact, the three people I invited to help you identify the quality of coffee this time were all the partners of my inspection. Now that Williams has been kicked out, we'll just choose one of the remaining two to run the coffee chain, and just give him a little bit of a dry stake. ”
Thinking that Lin Zukang was right, Xiao Ping nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll touch your light." ”
Lin Zukang happily high-fived Xiao Ping and said, "Ha Luha, happy cooperation!"
In the next few days, Xiao Ping stayed in Malaysia to discuss with Lim Zukang about the specific cooperation of opening a high-end coffee chain.
After several years of tempering, Xiao Ping can also be regarded as a qualified businessman. As for Lin Zukang, not to mention, he has been in the mall for so many years to have his current status, and his experience is enough to write a textbook. Both of them know very well that although they have a good personal relationship with each other, they must distinguish between public and private, and they must not be sloppy in cooperation because of this.
Therefore, when the two were negotiating the terms of cooperation, they did not casually discuss every detail because they had a relationship with each other. The so-called "villain first and then gentleman" is like this, explain everything clearly before cooperating, so as not to have problems in the future, which is easy to cause dirt between the two.
While discussing the details of the cooperation, Xiao Ping and Lin Zukang also determined the person to manage the chain store. The two unanimously chose Piero, a young and more energetic worker, to make the Italian the general manager of the coffee chain.
Piero was also very happy to be appreciated by a business tycoon like Lin Zukang and given such a heavy responsibility. When he came to visit his future boss excitedly, he realized that the relationship between Xiao Ping and Lin Zukang was so good. Piero couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately, he had a good impression on Xiao Ping at the beginning, otherwise not only would it not be his turn to sit in this position, but he might also end up miserably like Williams.
Speaking of Williams, this guy has really been miserable lately. The coffee chain he invested in was stopped by Lin Zukang, and there was no hope of recovering the initial investment, but the bank followed behind and chased the loan, so this guy had to sell his coffee shop at a low price to tide over the difficulties.
In addition to sighing, Piero quickly entered the role, and made a lot of reasonable suggestions to Xiao Ping and Lin Zukang, many of which have been adopted by the two bosses. This made Piero feel that he had a place to play, and he worked harder every day.
After more than 10 days in Malaysia, Xiao Ping also completed negotiations with Lin Zukang, and the two agreed to invest US$20 million each in the initial stage to open a total of 20 high-end coffee chains in more than 10 countries in Europe and the United States. As for the shares, Xiao Ping and Lin Zukang each own 48%, and the other 4% of the dry shares are owned by Piero to improve his enthusiasm for work.
After signing the cooperation agreement with Lin Zukang, Xiao Ping plans to live in his villa for a few days - he has been very busy with work recently, and he finally has some leisure time, so it is not bad to take a few days off.
However, Xiao Ping had only been resting for two days before receiving a call from Chen Lan. (To be continued......)
