Chapter 13: Ultimatum
With the deepening of the negotiations, the atmosphere on the scene became more and more intense, and the smell of gunpowder became stronger and stronger, Coles could still maintain the attitude of the leader of a large company, but Taylor, a lawyer, was not calm, and his words could always be found by Zhao Qing and even counterattacked, which made him very proud of himself when he graduated from Harvard Law School and entered the General Law Department and had a lot of achievements, but now this pride has gradually been knocked out, making him lose the heaviness of the past, and the polite image cannot be maintained.
Coles didn't expect that Zhao Qing was obviously just a student, how could he have so many negotiation techniques, it was useless to use both soft and hard, he now had a feeling that he was not facing a student or a person who had never seen a battle, this was completely a veteran of negotiation in a shopping mall.
The results of the investigation were completely useless at this time, which made him very distressed, when would a group deal with individuals in such trouble.
On the other hand, Zhao Qing's talent makes him a little jealous, in case things fall apart, and use the quilt plan, it will completely offend Zhao Qing, offend a person They are not afraid, what they are afraid of is that Zhao Qing will enter the automobile design industry in a fit of anger.
There are unspoken rules in the automobile design industry, but the unspoken rules are nothing in the face of huge interests, in other words, as long as Zhao Qing can bring enough benefits to other giant car companies, they don't care that death is not against GM, of course, they themselves are a relationship of competition and hostility.
If Zhao Qing can continue to design such an amazing model, then GM's loss will be immeasurable.
"Mr. Coles, before you know it's time for lunch, if you don't dislike it, let's try the homemade steak in the café, although it's not as good as the first restaurant, but it still tastes good.
As for the talks, let's stop and continue after lunch, what do you think? ”
Before he knew it, it was lunchtime, and Zhao Qing knew that the problems of the Americans would automatically stop when it came to the meal, so it was better to raise it himself.
It is not in his interest to ease the tension of the negotiations, which are already exhausting to him, and he does not know where the situation will go without a break.
He didn't want to even if the negotiation was finally settled, but he offended Mr. Taylor, an obviously impatient lawyer, in the United States, lawyers are the kind of people who can't be offended, if you hold a grudge, the trap they set for you will make you unguardable, he doesn't want to be in trouble everywhere in the future, at least not until he grows up.
"Of course you can, you must know Zhao, know that my stomach has begun to ring, otherwise you wouldn't know what I'm thinking at the moment like God."
Coles's face became happy when he heard Zhao Qing's words, one or two hours of negotiation, the uninterrupted wit between the three people, made him, a veteran in the negotiation situation, a little unbearable, if Zhao Qing didn't speak again, I am afraid he would have to find an excuse to suspend the negotiation and take a break.
"Zhao, you are a great negotiator, I found that if you don't become a designer, it would be very good to join the firm to specialize in business combinations."
Taylor let out a long breath of turbid air after hearing Coles's order to pause, and Yan's unusual face immediately became relaxed.
Zhao Qing made him a more difficult opponent he had seen since he entered the industry, you don't know what his thoughts were, and his thinking jumped too fast, which made Taylor, who had always followed normal negotiation methods, suffer from Yan zhòng.
It's no wonder that Zhao Qing, the other Zhao Qing has never experienced negotiation like him, but in the twenty-first century, there are the most, the most books and cases, and the variety of strange negotiation techniques is unguardable, which means that Zhao Qing has no experience at all, if he is a veteran of the twenty-first century, I am afraid that Taylor Coles would have been defeated.
The steak in the New York University café is still very different from the high-end restaurant, but Coles's mind is not on the food at the moment, and he eats it like a cow chewing a peony.
It was a very simple thing, but he made it what it is now, and I am afraid that it will make my peers tear off his big teeth when he says it, it is really an incredible young man, not to mention that the design is so outstanding and amazing, and the eloquence is even unimaginable, when did New York University teach such all-round students? This made him have an unreal feeling, it is impossible for a person like Zhao Qing not to emerge in the future, as long as he does not fall, his future is unlimited, thinking about his current situation, he actually sympathized with the Zhao family who had never met before, such a person was not found in front of him, and when he became the climate in the future, he was afraid that things would not be easy to do when he found out to find him.
It's no wonder that he was able to become friends with Kent, so that Kent was so valued, and was able to enter the eyes of the notoriously fastidious Morgan family, making him favored by him, and it was impossible for him to have some ability.
Thinking of Kent's friendship, Coles suddenly became a little jealous, it's not that he can't tolerate people, it's that Zhao Qing's luck is too eye-catching, if there is no Kent matchmaking, Zhao Qing may have to delay it for a few months or even a few years if he wants to come out, this opportunity is really good, and he can't afford not to applaud in his heart.
Applause and applause, Coles was sighing in his heart how to make a choice, he meant to raise the price to the highest point of 50 million, but Zhao Qing had to cooperate with General Motors, and if there was any design about the car in the future, he must notify General Motors in advance so that they could make a choice.
In other words, GM chose the rest, so that Zhao Qing could hand him over to the rest of the companies, but Zhao Qing did not agree, he couldn't help himself to GM, a chariot that had emerged bloated and decrepit, for 50 million, which was not in his interests.
Of course, it is not impossible for the other party to pay enough benefits, but they don't want to pay the most basic price now, which makes Zhao Qing very angry, both want to get and don't want to pay, is there such a cheap thing in the world?
People in large groups and large companies take for granted no matter what they do, and think that it is understandable, but they subconsciously ignore the iron-clad law that there is no gain if you don't pay.
Lunch passed in a calm mood, and there were no outsiders who said that the Americans were completely different situations at the negotiating table and below the negotiating table, and some were just frowning and racking their brains to think of a way to deal with it.
At this moment, Green has become an outsider, when Zhao Qing and Coles Taylor are thinking of a way in their hearts, Green is a slow knife in his left hand and a fork in his right hand, and his posture is extremely elegant, putting the six mature meat on the plate with obvious bloodshot beef into his mouth one by one, and every bite will make a look of enjoyment, so that Coles, who occasionally skimmed his head and saw it, frowned even tighter, if he wasn't worried about not being able to beat him, he really wanted to punch the face that seemed to him to be extremely hypocritical.
Ten minutes later, when Green completely put down the knife and fork in his hand, lunch time was completely over, and after Smith beckoned the waiter to put away the plate and serve the coffee again, the already uneasy atmosphere of everyone became strict.
"Mr. Coles, I find it unforgivable for a large corporation that is racing against time to continue to talk like this, not only to waste your time, but also to postpone what you were supposed to do.
Why don't we each take a step back, what do you think? If we can, we will sign the contract, so that everyone will not be troubled, and it will not hurt the harmony, what do you say? ”
In order to get the money as much as possible, Zhao Qing thought about it and decided to give up some of the benefits, compared to the immediate benefits, compared to the benefits he was about to get in a few months, it was really pitiful, if he only saw the interests in front of him, and cared about it, then what would he do to become bigger and stronger in the future.
Baht must be more truthful, but sometimes you must learn to give up, there is giving and giving, Zhao Qing decided to give up part of the second ring to greater interests.
"I found that we wanted to go together, Zhao, you are so understanding." With that, Coles glanced at Taylor and nodded at him.
"Zhao, the latest price we proposed is 50 million US dollars, which includes the design drawings that you will draw in the future, what do you think? If there is no problem, I will draw up the contract. ”
Taylor received Coles's hint and did not ask Zhao Qing's bottom line, but took the lead in making a lawyer's response and said
"Mr. Coles, Mr. Taylor, I can only say that you have a good calculation, you just want to exchange tens of millions of dollars for things that can create tens of billions of profits for you, I have to admire you, if I were your boss, I would be very happy to have a subordinate like you arrive."
Zhao Qing said as he glanced at Kent, who was sitting on the side without saying a word, and the meaning was clear, it was not a problem to behave in front of the future master, but it would not work if you did things too much.
"Now there are two solutions, I will say it, how about you take a look?
First, 50 million plus 2 percent of the sales share, for a ten-year period.
Second, $200 million buys out all five chapter designs.
As for what you said, the follow-up design will be the first to cooperate with you, so let's skip it.
This condition of mine should not be too much compared to the benefits you will get in the future. ”
Zhao Qing was completely disgusted with the negotiation that came and went back and forth with just a few words, and he swore in his heart that if he was the boss in the future, he would definitely not participate in this kind of negotiation, this is simply not something that people do.
"Zhao, your greed has controlled you, you know that they can't be worth so much money, I won't agree."
As soon as Zhao Qing's words fell, Taylor's originally somewhat relaxed face immediately tensed, but Coles's face was straight, and his eyes were staring at Zhao Qing's every movement, as if he wanted to figure out his inner thoughts, but in the end he gave up and said leisurely.
"Alright then, I have something to do in the afternoon, I think that's all for our negotiations.
Mr. Coles, I still say the same thing, my conditions are here, how to choose is your business, I believe you will make the right choice. ”
After Zhao Qing finished speaking, he stood up and made a helpless smile at Kent, meaning that Kent understood that Zhao Qing wanted to cooperate with GM very much, but GM only had his own interests in his eyes, and this behavior of eating alone made him very disappointed.
After Ken nodded, Zhao Qing left, of course, before leaving, he nodded with a smile at the stunned Coles, shook hands with Taylor, expressed regret, and took the book he borrowed from the library in Smith's hand, walked out of the café quickly, and disappeared in front of everyone.
As for GM's threat at the beginning, he didn't take it to heart that he would steal his blueprints, even if it was misappropriated, without some corresponding configurations, GM would pay the price, and before that, Zhao Qing would definitely have other partners, and there would be the first pot of gold.
