Chapter 42: Father and Son Fight
As expected, after hearing that some Hong Kong businessmen planned to carry out a single-release machine project in China, and were willing to provide a large amount of start-up capital and cooperate in the way of processing with supplied materials, the cautious and conservative attitude held by the leaders of the Pingyuan plant immediately changed 180 degrees.
Wang Fuming, the director of the factory, has the most positive attitude, "This is a good thing, at present we are short of funds, lack of advanced management methods, if we can successfully cooperate with Hong Kong businessmen, these two problems can be solved." At the same time, we can borrow chickens to lay eggs, not only to obtain certain benefits, to solve the income sources of some employees, but also to obtain new technologies in practice, and out of their own new way of innovation and development! I think we should support this! ”
Lin Feng, secretary of the party committee of the main factory, also expressed his prudent agreement, "I think the opinion of Director Wang is feasible, in this matter, your technical department should work harder, and strive to understand all aspects of this single machine, and form productivity as soon as possible." Since Mr. Fan mentioned this matter at the meeting last time, I went to find out about it, and now the walkman called Walkman is very popular abroad, and the market prospect is very good! We can seize this opportunity to sell our products abroad, which is to earn foreign exchange for the country, which is a good thing! ”
The original chief engineer Ma Debiao topped the lack of Wang Dafu, the deputy director of the factory who was put down by Fan Wuxi, he was from a technical background, and he also said when he heard the words, "That thing, we have also looked at it carefully, if there is a ready-made head and circuit board, we can produce a prototype within a month!" Even if there is no ready-made thing, you need to do it yourself with technical research, and you can make it within half a year! ”
When Fan Heng heard this, he immediately replied, "The specific situation has to be discussed with the other party carefully, but the funds are obviously guaranteed, and the biggest problem now is to see if you can directly get the magnetic head and circuit board of Sony, so that the finished product will be much simpler." ”
In the end, everyone reached a consensus at the meeting, and Lin Feng said to Fan Heng, "Mr. Fan, then you have worked hard recently, put down other work first, and strive to negotiate this project." Then he thought for a while and said, "For foreign capital, the state has always encouraged it to be vigorously introduced and rationally utilized." If we can succeed in cooperating with Hong Kong companies, it will be regarded as responding to the call of the country. However, in cooperation with Hong Kong capital, we should also pay attention to one problem, that is, the funds must be put in place, and at the same time, everything that should be mentioned must be mentioned in the contract, and the details cannot be missed. The success or failure of many things is determined by these details, and this cannot be careless. ”
"I will definitely pay attention, and if there are any problems, I will discuss them in time." Fan Heng nodded in agreement.
"Hehe, in terms of technology, you know more than me, I don't worry." Lin Feng said with a smile.
In this way, the cooperation between Pingyuan Factory and Hong Kong capital has become a negotiation between Fan Heng and Fan Wuji, Lao Tzu and his son.
The two of them hid in Fan Wuxi's room and talked about business, arguing for a while, laughing and talking gently, and when there was a conflict, they were even more swords-rattling and angry.
Of course, when it comes to starting hands and feet, it is natural that Fan Wuzhi suffers, and Fan Heng can naturally knock him two chestnut chisels, which is a matter of course. If Fan Wuxian dares to fight back, it will be disobedient! Even if he has great skills, wealth, the ability to pass through the heavens and latitudes, and the ability to turn over the clouds and rain, but in front of Fan Heng, he has to shrink honestly, and do his duty to fill the gray grandson, oh, it should be a good son.
"You disobedient boy just can't clean up, is there a black-hearted businessman like you in the world?" Fan Heng pointed to a restriction on the draft contract and asked angrily, "All the rights of the product to be sold in Chinese mainland and overseas!" According to you, we are working for others, and we can't use the products we make, let alone sell them! Where in the world is there such a truth? ”
Fan Wuxian rolled his eyes and said, "Father and son, settle the account!" The complete right to sell is an important basis for my investment, this is impossible to change, either we break up, or you skip this article, see the terms below! ”
Fan Heng frowned and looked down, then pointed to one of them and questioned, "There is a more serious problem!" Why don't you allow us to use our own names and trademarks? And want to use your new trademark? The production company also needs to be branded with your name? What is the rationale for this? ”
"It's a need for commercial hype! Do you think that in the current domestic environment, is it easy to sell imported things, or domestic things are easy to sell? Fan Wuxian replied unceremoniously.
Fan Heng was stunned.
This is also the truth, after ten years of catastrophe in China, all kinds of waste to be rebuilt, just opened the market has ushered in many high-quality and low-cost foreign brands, compared with some domestic prices of high-quality and low-quality goods, these things can easily occupy the people's psychological stronghold. And some media irresponsibly proclaim that the moon abroad is rounder than at home, which has also caused a very serious psychology of worshipping the ocean, and the early 80s is also the hottest period for going abroad.
The movie "Wrangler" that Fan Wuxian and Fan Heng and his son just watched is actually to promote the spirit of patriotism and satirize the blind enthusiasm for going abroad, but unfortunately there is a very ironic result that its leading actors went abroad one after another within a short period of time after filming, which really makes people feel very speechless.
Fan Wuxi's consideration undoubtedly takes care of this, patriotism is needed, but for the sake of a little fame, it is a little meaningless to take advantage of his own exponential profits. You know, under the circumstances, most developed countries did not have any positive publicity for Chinese mainland, as if China was synonymous with poverty and ignorance. If it is labeled as domestically produced, it is difficult to achieve satisfactory sales results in foreign countries, even if it is a good thing.
Therefore, Fan Wuxian decided that he had to control the issue of trademarks and naming in his own hands.
