Chapter 8 Communication: Seeking Collections and Recommendations

"Of course, now let's talk about your offer first, and then I'll send one of the drawings to the board of directors of the GM Group, and I'll try my best to negotiate with them. ”

Kent, who was struggling with whether his friendship would change qualitatively, completely let go of the entanglement after hearing Zhao Qing's words, he knew that Zhao Qing understood his mind and understood what he meant.

A smile appeared on his face, he looked at Zhao Qing and nodded solemnly.

"10 million for a drawing, plus three percent of the sales. ”

Zhao Qing moved his wrist quietly, breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly told Kent the price he had in mind.

Originally, he was just a design drawing that could sell for a million dollars, but he didn't expect Kent's ecstatic expression when he saw the original big-muscle Ford pickup series, and his inadvertent statement that according to the standards of top designers, he could directly ask for a share of the sales profits, which he didn't expect.

Profit share is what only the world's top designers receive, and it's also an important part of the income of top designers. The average designer who is not well-known and who doesn't take your design for themselves is already good.

"Ten million, three percent of the profit share?...... Can you tell me the price you originally wanted to ask for?

You can rest assured that I will not sue them, nor will I lower the price for you after knowing your bottom line, I promise God. ”

When Kent heard Zhao Qing's number, his expression was obviously surprised for a moment, but then he hid it well, if Zhao Qing hadn't been staring at him, he wouldn't have found out.

"I originally set a low price point, you know, I don't know much about the automotive industry, but I think a million dollars design drawings should be fine.

The main thing is that I didn't think about dealing with GM at that time, you know, it's too big, I don't know how many formalities it has to go through from submission to review, I haven't thought about it, at least I haven't thought about it now, it's bureaucratic. ”

Zhao Qing thought about it and said the bottom line he had set at the beginning, and even if it was a little lower, he would make a move, as long as the money could be in place in time.

"A million? only a million? Zhao: Is your design so cheap? You must know that this is an epoch-making product, and I believe that as long as he withdraws from the market, it will definitely cause a trend.

But Zhao, you're not going to vote for Ford, are you? Ford has its own unique technology in pickup trucks, and I think the style you designed is also like a special design for Ford?"

"Then this one must be voted for the Japanese car company Toyota or Honda, and the economy makes them their strengths?"

After seeing Zhao Qing nodded, Kent breathed a sigh of relief, the moment he saw the design drawings, he had a feeling that Zhao Qing was designed in a targeted manner, and different drawings were designed according to different car companies, and only in this way could he succeed in the case of casting a wide net, and now he got the answer he wanted, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

It is unbelievable that GM was excluded, you must know that it is still the largest car brand in the world by market value at this time, but think about the answer given by Zhao Qing, Kent also knows that he is right, for a person who is in a hurry to use money, a bureaucratic and slow company is not comparable to those companies that focus on efficiency.

His colleague was also glad in his heart, glad that he had prevented him from throwing himself into Ford and Toyota because of his kindness, and he was also glad that he had known such a friend, although this friend surprised him a little.

He is also rejoicing for GM, if Ford and Toyota, as well as a few drawings that he has not seen, are hired by several brand companies he has invested in, then GM is not only a problem of market value, but also GM, which is already difficult, may be unable to keep up with the pace, and the contradictions that have been trying to cover up will suddenly erupt, which will cause social turmoil.

Now with these drawings, GM can let the contradictions erupt in advance, and then start to reorganize, with the storage of these models, the new company can quickly get back on track, if the situation is good, it is not only a matter of standing on its feet, but even those competitors can be left far behind, and the pace of their catching up is widening the distance.

From here, it can be seen that the situation of considering the problem will be different from the perspective of the station, Zhao Qing just wants to use these drawings to get his first pot of gold, and Kent is thinking about the subsequent development of the enterprise.

High wages, high benefits, and even the rigidity of the company's management make GM's competitiveness worse and worse, they don't see it, but there is no excellent way, once the restructuring is carried out, where will GM go?

GM's market value is really too high, and they can't afford not to care, although the loss of GM won't hurt his muscles and bones, it will make him feel pain.

"One million, Zhao, your requirements are really too low, and if you can get Kent's approval, then the value of your drawing can be increased by twenty times or more?"

Although Smith is usually very arrogant and doesn't think about anything, anyway, his life has already been determined, but at this time he said a very correct sentence, not to mention the General Group, the Morgan family itself has its own car brand, and it is also oriented to the entire upper class, if you want to get a Morgan brand car, you can't do it without a certain status, although he is not famous, but it is not worse than Rolls-Royce, so the people of the Morgan family have a very deep understanding of cars.

"You mean that I have no problem offering 20 million, you must know that there are a total of five design drawings here, then he is 100 million dollars, this is not the yen or the Korean won, but the strongest Franklin in the world, which everyone loves?

You are sure, but don't forget that the capitalists we learned last semester are greedy, they will do everything they can to get what they want, and they will do their best to ensure their own interests.

I don't have a lot of requirements, as long as Kent can make sure that my design doesn't become someone else's for no reason during the negotiation, and I don't need to say how many such things are. ”

After Zhao Qing heard Smith's words, he turned his head to look at Smith in disbelief and asked.

The Morgan family was rich at that time, and it was impossible for them to buy it at such a high price, of course, if they didn't mention the three percent profit share, there should be no problem.

But they are not wronged, even if they are very optimistic about their own design, after all, they are just a design drawing that has not yet been built into a physical object, and has withstood the test of the market, this is a very big shortcoming, will GM have such courage?

Kent is just a member of the Morgan family now, he is not in power after all, and it is very difficult to say how much power he has.

"Ahem, Zhao, don't think of the world as dirty and dark, the things you said do exist, and there are abnormal business methods, but I think if this kind of thing really happens, you will definitely have countermeasures.

Since you can design these things, it must have been carefully considered, and here I found that the chassis and so on are not, I think you should have considered it, even if you get your design drawings, and there is no corresponding configuration will be an unsuccessful product. ”

Kent heard what Zhao Qing said, his face was a little unbearable, this kind of thing their Morgan family is probably doing the most, it is easy for him to think of himself.

"If a design is not a complete set, it is not a complete design, I am not the kind of person who only does half of the work, I studied a lot of information, and finally designed it, how can I let others get their hard work in vain?"

"Zhao, don't look at me like this, I'm not that kind of person, I won't do this, I'm not that cheap at Kent Pierpont Morgan, if I really do this kind of thing, it will be a huge blow to my reputation to spread it.

This is the United States where money is paramount, but it is also the America where credibility is paramount, and credibility is life. ”

Kent always felt that Zhao Qing's words were alluding to him, which made Kent, who was not so thick-skinned, couldn't help but want to explain.

"Okay, Kent, I believe you, now you can inform the GM Group, you can also pass on my design to them, and at the same time convey my request to them, I hope they will do their best to get out of the decision, otherwise I will switch to another company." ”

Zhao Qing did not dwell on these issues, but said directly to Kent that he needs money very much now to make money, there are too many things to make money in his mind, but life is just a few decades, if you want to make money, you must hurry up, the time is too short, not to mention that he wants to take his mother out earlier, and don't let his mother stay in Zhao Mansion to continue to suffer.

"Zhao, are you in a hurry to use the money now? If so, I can lend you a part temporarily, of course, this needs to calculate interest!"

Before Kent could speak, Smith interjected.

Smith's kindness touched Zhao Qing's heart, after all, not everyone would lend money to others lightly, even if the other party was their best friend.

Although Smith needs interest to borrow money, this is the most normal way for Americans to communicate, even if it is the best friend, if there is no interest, it means that the other party has a plan for you, which is not good. "Smith, thank you, I'll be there for you when I need it. ”

Zhao Qing rejected Smith's kindness, not because he didn't want to accept his help, but because the amount he needed was too large, and Smith, who had already decided on his life, would definitely not have too much money.

Hearing Zhao Qing's words, Kent, who had long known about Zhao Qing's situation, nodded, walked out of the bedroom and came to the living room without speaking, grabbed the wired phone in the corner of the living room, pressed a few numbers on it and dialed it out.
