Chapter 176: Goodbye Turks
"Dear Liu, I can be regarded as seeing you." As soon as he saw Liu Xun, Tex immediately gave him a big bear hug.
Like most Americans, Tex's figure is much stronger than Liu Xun, Liu Xun's height is also tall in China, and now he is close to one meter eight tall, and he is still in high school, but he is almost half a head shorter than Tex, and he is a lot thinner than Tex.
"Ahem, cough, Mr. Turks, can we let go and talk again......" Liu Xun looked at Tex with a helpless face, this guy is deliberate, it must be intentional, Liu Xun shouted in his heart.
"Liu, hahaha, I finally see you again, you are really God, my lucky star, hahaha, Mr. Chambers told me that you have an allusion in China called Bole Xiangma, and only you, Bole, can find out."
"Well, Mr. Turks is willing to be a horse, and this Maxima is also a horse......"
"Hahaha, Liu, you're not humorous at all, this joke isn't funny at all." Tex said, suddenly his tone changed, "To be honest, Liu, I am grateful and regretful to you now, alas, if it weren't for you, those land certificates would not be so popular now, if it weren't for you taking a fancy to those land certificates, I might still be struggling to sell those land certificates one by one, it was you who changed my life, so that I can now go in and out of the dance party of high society, so that I no longer have to worry about three meals a day." ”
"But, Liu, I sold you the exclusive agency rights in Asia for a million dollars, and now that I think about it, you are really too treacherous, and that kind of price is equivalent to giving it to you for nothing for the current Asian market."
"What's wrong? Turks, you don't regret it, we signed the contract in the first place," Liu Xun said with a smile, "At that time, neither of us expected that the market potential in Asia would be so big, did we?" I remember that the so-called exclusive agency was originally intended to be given to me for nothing, and as for the million dollars, you still received it at my insistence, you should not regret it now. ”
Liu Xun said this, but he secretly said in his heart, regret it, regret is useless, the original contract was quite rigorous, if Turks wants to take back Liu Xun's exclusive acting rights in Asia, all the compensation paid is definitely a data that makes him feel that the gains outweigh the losses.
Tex smiled bitterly, "Liu, you said you laughed, I just feel a little unbalanced in my heart, and I am still very grateful to you." ”
"At that time, I was so depressed that the licensing fee of one million dollars was already sky-high for me, how could I not agree, but at that time, I would have thought that such a land certificate that would take a lot of effort to sell in the United States, but it would have such good sales in magical China, let alone that in the dollar, a thing that no one buys for two hundred dollars, you can sell it for a high price of nearly two thousand dollars, Liu, you are really a very amazing person, the owner of the magic market means."
"Hahaha, Tex, write more compliments, this is called the east is not bright and the west is bright, the bad things that sell in our China may have good sales in the United States, and similarly, the things that sell bad in the United States may be good achievements in other places."
Liu Xun said and smiled slightly, "By the way, Turks, even if you don't come to me, I plan to find you, and I still have some things to discuss with you." ”
Tex perked up, "Looking for me? What's up? Is it necessary to purchase land certificates in large quantities? It can't be impossible, just a few days ago, 50,000 copies were sent, and it was impossible to sell out so quickly. But then he seemed to realize something, "Liu, are you guilty and want to make it up to me?" To be honest, I, the conceiver and executor of the idea, do not make as much money as you, a seller, and I am very aggrieved to think about it. ”
Saying this, he was smiling bitterly in his heart, he was probably whimsical, he didn't see the market potential in Asia as much as Liu Xun at the beginning, how can he expect others to send money now.
Turks sold the land certificate to Liu Xun for $130 each, and Liu Xun sold it for nearly ten times the price, and the exclusive agency rights in the entire Asian region were only $1 million, so it would be strange if Turks was not aggrieved.
After he conceived this idea, he spent his life savings and took out a bank loan, so he bought an acre of land in each of the fifty states of the United States, which is equivalent to his purchase of fifty acres of land, one acre of four thousand square meters, even if these lands are some wilderness land is worthless, but it can't stand the large amount, he really invested a lot, and the processing of the land certificate also has a lot of costs, and it was sold to Liu Xun at a price of one hundred and thirty dollars a piece, What he can earn is about seventy dollars, compared to Liu Xun's profit of six or seven thousand yuan if he sells one, it is simply weak, and it would be strange if he could balance it in his heart.
Of course, it is unbalanced, it is regret, he has no way now, at least Liu Xun has changed his previous situation, at least Liu Xun's insight has turned his creativity into real dollars, so that he can make money.
It's not that he didn't think about raising prices or anything like that before, but when he looked back at the contract, he found that in the contract he signed at the beginning, there were some issues that he would not consider at all, but they had already been written into the contract by Liu Xun, so that he couldn't drill any loopholes, for example, the contract clearly defined that at least 300,000 land certificates for the two transactions would be supplied at a price of 130 US dollars.
In other words, at least, before the sales volume in Asia reached 300,000 copies, he had no chance to ask Liu Xun to raise the price.
To be honest, now he really regrets his death when he looks at the original contract.
Many of the terms in that contract had no possibility of being realized at the time, just like the sales of 300,000 copies, so Turks didn't pay attention to those many things in the first place.
Many of the binding clauses on Turks, which seemed useless at the time, now limit Turks from raising prices and from finding other partners in Asia.
As for the legality of the contract, he has also consulted a lawyer, which is completely legal, and if he breaches the contract, he is afraid that he will have to pay sky-high compensation.
He didn't know that Liu Xun had been rolling in the mall for more than ten years in his previous life, and he could be described as an old fritter, and because of his excellent relationship with spoken English, he had been in charge of trade issues on the American side, and naturally he would not leave a loophole for Tex in terms of the legitimacy of the contract, so he sold the exclusive agency in Asia for one million dollars and supplied it at a price of one hundred and thirty dollars. According to the implementation of this contract, although he can also make a lot of money, most of it is earned by Liu Xun.
Of course, there are two sides to everything, if there is no Liu Xun, maybe this land certificate that is shining now will be covered with dust, and Tex may still be working hard to sell a land certificate, and he is still worried about three meals a day, so Tex has a very complicated feeling about Liu Xun, both grateful and regretful.
As for Liu Xun, he does have something to find Turks.
"Mr. Turks, it is not impossible to increase the cost of exclusive agency, although we have agreed in the original contract, but we can increase this fee by other means. Let's put it this way, this time I want the exclusive right to represent this land certificate all over the world, not only in Asia, I want you to hand over the right to buy and sell this land certificate to me, all land certificates, must pass through my hands before they can flow to the market, as for the licensing fees in Asia, I can compensate you in this way. ”
Tex was slightly stunned, "Dear Liu, I don't really understand what you mean, what's the use of you wanting exclusive agency rights around the world?" As a friend, I have to remind you that in my opinion, the exclusive agency in Asia is no different from the exclusive agency in the world, although this land certificate is now sold in China, but in other places, there is not much sales, even now in 92, the world's large-scale commemoration of Columbus has been launched, but this thing, in the United States and other countries The sales volume is still extremely limited, you want the exclusive agency right around the world, and it didn't do anything. ”
Liu Xun secretly said in his heart, I naturally know that what you said is the truth, but there is naturally a difference between the exclusive agency in Asia and the exclusive agency in the world, if there is no difference, how can I bring it up.
In fact, Liu Xun wants exclusive sales rights all over the world at the moment, in fact, to solve the problem of future troubles.
As Turks said, this land certificate, at present, has a huge market in Asia, especially in Southeast Asia, but the market potential in other places is not large, just like the United States, the sales of this land certificate is not very good, so far, the national sales volume is less than 1,000 copies. This is the case in the United States, and the situation in other countries in the Americas can be imagined.
But Liu Xun wanted this exclusive agency, not for the profit of this land certificate outside Asia, but for other ideas.
Although he now has the exclusive right to act in Asia, and each share is profitable, but there is a problem here, that is, Tex has also been organizing sales in the United States, although the sales are not good, but there is a huge problem here, that is, Tex used to sell this land certificate in the United States for only more than 200 US dollars, and now although the price has increased, it is also very limited, and the current price is only 400 US dollars, which is the problem.
Although it has the exclusive right to act in the whole of Asia, and theoretically speaking, the sales of the whole Asian region are in their own hands, but if they do not have the right to do so, there will be other situations, such as some people in the United States to buy such land certificates in large quantities for a few hundred dollars, and then smuggle them into the Asian region to sell them in their own name, then their own interests may suffer significant losses.
The land certificate is still on sale for a short time, and no one knows the price of this thing in the United States, nor does it see the huge profits hidden here, maybe some people see it, but they don't want to take such a big risk, after all, it is illegal, but if they can't keep it, some people will take risks for this huge profit.
Marx said that if capital has 50 percent profits, it will take risks, if it has 100 percent profits, it will dare to trample on all the laws of the world, and if it has 300 percent profits, it will dare to commit any crime, and even face the danger of being hanged.
And the price gap between the price of this land certificate in the United States and the price in China has a profit of more than 400 percent, then there will definitely be people who are willing to take risks for such a big profit, and the repeated prohibition of smuggling is such a reason, this thing, the risk of reselling is much smaller than that of smuggling, and the profit is also much larger, if this happens, then Liu Xun's interests will be damaged, and it will be greatly damaged.
By this means, the land certificate will flow into Asia, and when the time comes, Turks will probably be happy to see this way, and he can also indirectly increase the shipping price of the land certificate through this means, for example, sell it to other people at a price of three or four hundred dollars per copy, and these people will ship the land certificate to Asia at a price of tens of thousands of dollars each.
Of course, if you want to solve this potential problem, it's easy.
If you have the exclusive agency right around the world, then the sales of the whole world will have to listen to Liu Xun's words, which is equivalent to Liu Xun having the pricing power around the world, and the problem will be solved.
Although he is not optimistic about the sale of this land certificate outside Asia, now, in order to solve this hidden danger that may erupt at any time, Liu Xun is willing to pay some price for it.
Liu Xun's previous contract with Turks, although Liu Xun had already considered many issues at that time, such as adding clauses to restrict Turks from raising prices, but no one is perfect, and he ignored this problem at that time, so that now, the land certificate is on the surface of a good situation in Asia, but there are huge hidden dangers that may break out at any time.
When I thought about it a few days ago, Liu Xun was almost shocked into a cold sweat, but fortunately, the news in China is not very well-informed now, and many people are not aware of what is here. If it is placed in the era of the information explosion more than ten years later, the price difference between the two places will immediately become the focus of discussion on the Internet, and no one will be willing or spend several times the price to buy these things in China, and even if they want, they will probably try to buy them from the United States.
When he has the exclusive agency right around the world, the situation is naturally very different, Liu Xun is equivalent to having the pricing power around the world, and the sales around the world must listen to Liu Xun's words.
When the time comes, Liu Xun will specify that the price in the Americas will be pulled up, even if it will not be pulled to the price in China, it will definitely be low and limited, making it unprofitable for people who want to resell in two places, which is the reason why Liu Xun wants to obtain exclusive agency rights around the world.
"Mr. Turks, don't be surprised, in fact, I don't have a fancy for the sale of this land certificate outside of Asia, you can think that this is another means for me to compensate for your loss in Asia, although the American land certificate will not sell much outside of Asia, but you sold me the exclusive agency in Asia for a million dollars, and now it seems that this price has caused your interests to suffer, as a friend, this is obviously not something I can accept, so, I'm willing to make up for your losses in this way, what do you think? After Liu Xun finished speaking, he looked at Tex with a smile.
"Oh yes, dear Liu, we're friends, hahaha." Tex laughed out loud as he spoke, and then became a little nervous, "Liu, I don't know what price you're willing to pay to get exclusive agency rights around the world?" ”
Saying this, he made up his mind in his heart, this time he must not be fooled by Liu Xun, he sold the exclusive acting rights in Asia for one million US dollars, so that he regrets it now, if the price given by Liu Xun is too low this time, he will not accept anything.
Liu Xun knew that he had this question, and laughed, "Mr. Tex, as a friend, I am also sorry for the loss you have suffered in the Asian region, so I am willing to add another nine million US dollars, plus the previous one million US dollars in licensing fees in the Asian region, a total of 10 million US dollars, to obtain the exclusive agency rights around the world, what do you think?" ”
"Oh God, Liu, you're not kidding?"
As soon as Liu Xun finished speaking, Tex stood up from the sofa with a look of disbelief on his face.
To tell the truth, he naturally knows the profit-seeking nature of businessmen, and if he can get more benefits, he is naturally happy to see it, but since the fat in Asia has been swallowed by Liu Xun, he naturally didn't want to let Liu Xun spit it out, as for what Liu Xun said before, he naturally didn't believe it, and thought that Liu Xun was interested in the market potential of tens of thousands of copies in other regions outside Asia, and he was ready to open his mouth.
However, even if he is ready to open his mouth, the sky-high price he set for this authorization fee in his heart is only five million US dollars, and Liu Xun will definitely not agree, he is ready to negotiate with Liu Xun, and the bottom line in his heart is actually only three million US dollars, as long as Liu Xun debuts at the price of three million US dollars, he will probably agree, but Liu Xun opened his mouth to be nine million US dollars to make up 10 million.
To be honest, Liu Xun's offer really surprised him.
