Chapter 15: Is It That Simple?
"Zhao, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon, are you here to find me?"
Zhao Qing entered the hotel, looked left and right, imprinted the arrangement of the answer questions in the hall into his mind, and walked in the direction of the elevator, and suddenly a more familiar voice appeared in his ears, making him have to stop.
"Taylor? Do you live here? ”
Zhao Qing looked towards the source of the voice, and saw Taylor walking in his direction with a briefcase in his hand.
As soon as this sentence came out, Zhao Qing knew that it was in vain, as one of the world's largest automobile companies, how could employees live in worse places on business trips, not to mention the vice president and director of a company.
"Yes, it seems that I am self-inflicted, when I saw you appear, I thought that you came to me, and I was very happy, but hearing your words, I was very disappointed."
Taylor walked in front of Zhao Qing, and suddenly said with a sad look, and Zhao Qing couldn't help laughing so quickly that he changed his face.
"I'm sorry, Taylor, but forgive me for being blunt, I didn't know you would choose to stay at this place."
Zhao Qing couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hands and waved, proving that he really didn't know, but came here because of the things he was back.
"Zhao, can I take the liberty of asking if you have made an appointment with another company? Zhao, you should know that our sincerity is very strong, and we just didn't reach an agreement because of a small disagreement......"
Taylor heard that Zhao Qing was not looking for him, and immediately "chuckled" in his heart, thinking that Zhao Qing gave two conditions today and left, he guessed at the time whether there was another opponent appearing, and now seeing Zhao Qing here, the speculation in his heart is more realistic for him, he has to find a way to stop it, once Zhao Qing reaches an agreement with another company, it will not only be a blow to him, but will even make his original smooth career change seriously, which he will never allow.
"Oh, Taylor, you're probing someone else's **, you're committing a lawyer's taboo." Zhao Qing looked at Taylor with a smile and teased. "Oh, no, Zhao, you should know, my professional ethics are definitely problematic, it's not work time, I'm not asking you as a lawyer, I'm asking you as an ordinary friend, if you think I'm a friend."
is worthy of being a lawyer, his brain is fast, Zhao Qing's little trick was just set up, and he was dissolved lightly, on the contrary, he took Zhao Qing and a small army.
"Taylor, I have to say, you were born to eat this bowl of rice, well, now that you have asked me as a friend, then I will also answer you as a friend, I have already made an appointment with someone, is this kind of answer okay?"
Zhao Qing stared at Taylor tightly with a smile on his face, wanting to see what kind of reaction he had, after all, Zhao Qing appeared at the Hilton Hotel at such a sensitive moment, if there was nothing to say, I am afraid that no one would believe it.
"Zhao, you have such freedom, after all, no one restricts your freedom, it is your right to see whomever you see, what I want to tell you is that we are doing our best to promote cooperation between us, I believe that you can see our sincerity, don't let the beautiful cooperation between us be ruined because of a little difference."
After hearing Zhao Qing's answer, Taylor's face changed slightly, but then he covered up the past, but this short moment of change was still discovered by Zhao Qing.
"Oh, what do you say? Is it still possible for us to work together? How do I remember that in addition to constantly belittling my painstaking work to create ZÀO, you are also constantly lowering the price, which is the incentive for the upcoming collaboration? I don't see it?
You should know that my first choice was not General Motors, if it wasn't for Kent pulling the strings, I would have voted for Ford, Toyota, or even Volkswagen, and General Motors was not on my mind at all. ”
Zhao Qing looked at Taylor and said firmly,
"You can't say that, Zhao, GM is the leader in the automotive industry, and cooperating with him has countless potential benefits for you, it can help you quickly enhance your reputation in the industry, let you start to emerge, and even let you be recognized, as long as you are famous, your orders will continue to emerge, and many others, such as connections, etc., etc., these invisible interests you can not include in it."
Taylor and Zhao Qing walked towards the booth next to the hotel lobby, and at the same time began to fight for their own interests.
"Taylor, these things you said must be stored in Zài, but they just let me get them in advance, this is nothing, can't I get these if I don't cooperate with GM?
Are you sure? Don't you dare, other companies will help with this, it's not a difficult choice to make, I need you to come up with a price that matches it, not to belittle my hard work.
Every piece of work is his child to the creator, and he won't allow anyone to insult his child, and I think you understand that, Taylor. ”
"Zhao, we are all understanding people, some things are better to be straightforward, if there is anything offended, I hope you don't mind.
………
Now it is a commodity society, everything has its own value, to put it very ugly, it is the value I opened does not reach your bottom line, so you will not agree.
Zhao, don't try to deny that you're not the kind of person who can give up a qiē for your design, and you're not the kind of person who sells it at a low price so that your design doesn't stay at the sketch stage.
Your job is a businessman, he is just your bargaining chips, as long as we give you enough chips will let you go, I don't know if I'm right.
Because we are a kind of human being, we can trade everything in our hands, as long as the price given by the other party is sufficient. ”
After the two sat down in the booth, Taylor put the briefcase on the small table in front of him, changed to a more comfortable position and sat down, and said slowly, Zhao Qing's face was red and blue for a while.
He needs money, he needs money very, very much, he wants to seize an opportunity to retaliate, provided that he has the strength, Taylor got very right, the chips are not enough to make him tempted, he will not agree.
In fact, his heart is very grateful to Kent, if there is no Kent, he doesn't know that a design drawing can be sold for a sky-high price, which is undoubtedly an astronomical amount for another person who lives at the bottom or is now born into a wealthy family, but has not seen very widely.
"Taylor, I don't deny what you say, and I admit that I need money very much right now, but that doesn't mean I'm going to sell him for a bargain.
I don't deny the capabilities of the general intelligence department at all, my situation, my family, I'm afraid you have been completely clean, and even my ancestors have been checked by you, but these are not my weaknesses. ”
Zhao Qing's face became stern, and he looked at Taylor and said.
As soon as Zhao Qing's words came out, the atmosphere at the scene was a little stiff, after all, it is one thing to know some things, and it is another thing to say them.
Some things are ready to tear their faces once they are cracked.
"Ah, Zhao, don't be like this, we didn't mean that, you know, we have always been with the greatest sincerity, we have accepted your conditions, I was just going to go to you to sign a contract.
We are here with the greatest sincerity, our friendship with you is genuine, and we hope you will not misunderstand us. ”
Zhao Qing's words made Taylor a little unnatural, in his thoughts, Zhao Qing was a sign that he was going to tear his face, he couldn't let this kind of thing happen, once this kind of thing happened, what the consequences would be He didn't dare to guess, at least the president would not pass.
"You agreed to my terms? Are you sure? ”
Zhao Qing didn't pay attention to the meaning of Taylor's words, at this moment he was completely attracted by Taylor's briefcase, and GM chose between the two conditions he proposed?
This incident had a big impact on him, so that he couldn't turn around for a while, and I don't know that the conversation between the two of them had a tendency to move towards a state of intense negotiation one moment, and the next moment it was about to die down.
It's incredible to chase him, and the plot twist makes him a little unbelievable that it's real.
"Yes, Zhao, my dear friend, we agreed to the conditions, I have worked overtime to make the contract, and I am ready to go to you to sign the contract, but I didn't expect you to automatically appear in front of me."
Taylor faced Zhao Qing's inquiry, like an old fox, slowly stopped shaking his hand with a smile, opened the briefcase, took out a contract with only two pages in it, and placed it in front of Zhao Qing, indicating that he was not lying to him.
Of course, Taylor will not say that now he is extremely suspicious that Zhao Qing is preparing to meet with other car companies to make a deal, he must sign the contract before Zhao Qing meets with representatives of other car companies, so that he can explain when he goes back, and of course it also cuts off Zhao Qing's way to negotiate with other companies to put pressure on GM to seek higher benefits.
Zhao Qing looked at Taylor in disbelief after reading the contract hastily, he didn't know why GM changed so quickly, but he wanted to understand why the contract was so rich, in addition to two percent of the distribution profit, there was a bonus for selling 500,000 1 million vehicles.
This is a real pie in the sky, this pie is so huge that he can't believe it, is it really just a priority for the rest of his design works, that's all? Is this worth the price?
"Zhao, I am a lawyer, and my profession makes me have to finally be my employer, but here I can't help but say that my employer's conditions are very favorable, and they are very optimistic about your development, and hope to cooperate with you for a long time, not just this one transaction."
"That's all? There are no other hidden clauses, but I know that your lawyers are very smooth in designing traps, and some people fall for contract traps. ”
Zhao Qing couldn't believe this big meatloaf, and couldn't help but sarcastically say to Taylor.
"Okay, the contract is here, there are traps you should be able to see, this is completely a big bonus for you, if I were you, I wouldn't ask so much, and I wouldn't think so much."
Taylor was speechless by Zhao Qing's words, so he could only wave his hand and point to Zhao Qing in front of him in duplicate, Coles had already signed a contract with the big seal of General Motors by the way.
Zhao Qing, who originally wanted to find a lawyer to take a look, thought about it and forgot it, even if there was any trap, it would be a big deal to sue them in the future, I believe that at that time I would have the confidence not to be afraid of General Motors.
After figuring it out, Zhao Qing took the pen in Taylor's hand without any hesitation and signed his name on it.
As soon as the words were signed, the cash check of 50 million appeared in front of Zhao Qing like a trick, making Zhao Qing a little incredulous, this is the end, he worked so hard in the morning, and it was over in the afternoon.
I once dreamed of becoming a rich man, and my dream came true, and I simply completed the accumulation of the first pot of gold.
