Chapter 69: Nakamichi (4)
Qu Ning's face was very ugly, and he looked depressed for a moment before he recovered, nodded and said to Tonks: "Since Mr. Duke brought this news, then I won't sell it." Let me ask you a question first, what conditions does P&V rely on to negotiate with you now? โ
Tonks was silent for a moment: "Brand, brand value." โ
He paused slightly: "You Chinese have a saying, called a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, P&V is the same, even if the lipstick is exposed to heavy metal poisoning, they have another series of sub-brands, such as soap and detergent, although the market share is shrinking, but after all, there is still a lot of brand value." โ
Qu Ning nodded: "So if the negative impact of lipstick continues to the other sub-brand fields under them, causing the stock price to continue to fall, and when their brand value is tossed out, I'm afraid that your Duke family will have no interest in buying shares, right?" The so-called rat trap...... Oh, I just want to catch mice and I'm afraid of smashing the jade bottle, which probably means your current situation, right? I think that your family probably can't continue to toss P&V, but if you want to take control, you can't do it so simply by suppressing it. โ
Tonks nodded involuntarily and sighed. P&V has a high market share in the United States a few years ago, and cosmetics represented by lipstick are one of their most profitable brands, but without this, if they are willing to break their wrists, they can still develop, so for the Duke family, which wants to hold it steadily and infiltrate without hurting the peace, if it really makes a fuss, it will not be beautiful, Qu Ning said that it is a problem that they have repeatedly agreed and still cannot solve: "Don't hide from Mrs., our headache is also here." He turned sideways slightly, almost subconsciously looking at Qu Ning with a little hope, "Since Madam has seen this, what kind of trick do you have?" โ
Qu Ning smiled slightly, lifted Erlang's legs, and looked at the man opposite: "I don't have any magic formulas, but I now have a batch of Huaxia brands in my hands...... I can add that all of them can be branded as 'the royal use of the ancient country', for example, one of the brands of cosmetics, I can guarantee that all the materials are natural, rouge is non-toxic and non-polluting, and it is guaranteed that there will be no heavy metal poisoning problems," the smile on the corner of her lips was sly and transparent, "I remember that decades ago, the woman who claimed to be the 'Princess of China' was actually a โกโก, and she was canonized in the United Kingdom, so now, what is the price of those brand secret recipes that I personally guaranteed?" Since Wu Ji, led by that Wu Shao, coupled with the fact that Wu Ji has made a lot of money these days, he has made a "life signboard", and Qu Ning has lined up in his hands to want to advertise "Bosom Friend", accounting for almost half of the capital.
Although she didn't have time to negotiate with them one by one, these merchants had already gone through Kim Yun-joo's selection and background checks, and several of them had been imperial merchants before, and the quality was even more trustworthy.
So when she said this, she was confident and calm - her confidence came from the accumulation of those old shops themselves.
Tonks was shocked: for a long time, Westerners have been full of curiosity and yearning for this prosperous country written by Marco Polo.
But this ancient country with a long history is famous for its xenophobia - even if they can open the door to the country with guns, if Tonks himself goes to negotiate with the small shopkeepers hiding in the streets and alleys, even if he waves a whole stack of tickets, he will inevitably be kicked out of the door.
Chinese people pay attention to the broom self-cherishing, skills are passed down from father to son, from generation to generation, they are called "Yidi" people, how can they get a glimpse of the real doorway!
What's more, if Qu Ningken personally came out to help them make a guarantee, to ensure that the secret recipe they got was once used by the emperor, even if it was just a name, I am afraid that it would be sold out of stock!
And Tonks knows even more that if this princess is willing to make a move, she will never fool them with messy things, she has too many good things in her hands, this is the confidence and heritage of a royal princess!
Tonks already had countless beautiful prospects and blueprints in his heart, but immediately, when he saw the small smile on the corner of Qu Ning's mouth, he was slightly deflated, and he was ready to be slaughtered: "Indeed, if we have these brands and recipes, we can transform some of P&V's brands, and even a series of negative effects caused by lipstick can be completely offset." He said it sincerely, because he knew very well that since this lady would say such a thing, she had a very reasonable stock price in her heart for the things she mastered, and if he wanted to lower the price, he was afraid that it would anger the other party, not to mention that these things she could take out were the only ones in this country, except for her status and ability, no one in this country could do this, since it was a monopoly business, the room he could talk about was actually very small.
Qu Ning nodded: "So it's a win-win situation." You Duke family can use these to invest in P&V, and the cold winter of P&V will pass, ushering in a new wave of sales peaks. โ
Tonks smiled bitterly: "Where is this a win-win, it's clearly a win-win, right?" Young lady, don't sell it, just say what price you want to sell these things, the better you say, the better, the more panicked I am in my heart. โ
Qu Ning let out a "huh" and said strangely: "When did I say that I wanted to sell them?" I'm not the owner of their brand. Even if I could, the shopkeepers wouldn't! โ
Tonks opened his mouth wide: "Then young lady, what do you mean ......"
Qu Ning put away Fang Cai's slightly smiling expression: "I'm just a joint representative of their brands," she took out a contract that had been drawn up early in the morning from the bag she was carrying, and pushed it to the other party, "If you are really sincere, just follow this contract." โ
In black and white, one copy in Chinese and English, Tonks felt a "buzzing" in his head at a glance, gritting his teeth and not squeaking, this clause is not really unacceptable, but it just happens to be pinched on the bottom line of their negotiations, to say that in this way, the actual benefits of the acquisition of P&V are very thin - although their Duke family originally wanted to diversify, but not to pay attention to monetary interests, but in this way, it is a little thinner than he originally wanted. The feeling of disparity in my heart is empty, don't mention it.
It's just that the contract in his hand is very thorough, and even every detail has been taken into account, to say that this is not only meticulous, but also means that the business skills of the person who drafted the contract are high, which makes Tonks feel more in awe of the woman in front of him, but there is a sense of looking up - this kind of means is a natural businessman's embryo, right?
Tonks slowly calmed down, and broke it down one by one and wanted to talk about it: "Shareholding, it's not unacceptable, but only the parent company has a stake in the subsidiary, and where is the sub-brand asking for 15% of the parent company's shares?" Besides, as you know, we only have 30% of the shares in our hands now, so we have to say that we will give you 15% ......."
Qu Ning waved his hand and said lightly: "Don't cry with me." I haven't congratulated you yet, Mr. Duke," she said, glancing at the other man's inexplicable look and smiling, "I didn't come with you today, I thought, this means that Mr. Duke is a step further in your family, right?" Now the affairs of the Far East are in your hands, if it is not because of me...... Hehe. She smiled meaninglessly.
Tonks was shocked.
That's right, the family's attention to her and the coveting of the big cake of the Far East led to the fact that the young man who offended her last time had already boarded the ship back to China. Tonks is well aware of what kind of benefits and support he will receive at home once this contract is signed.
Under the temptation of personal "promotion and wealth", it seems that the interests of the family cannot be compromised slightly.
There are only a few core clauses in this contract.
They want 15% of the company's shares in P&V, and the Duke family now owns more than 30% of the shares, and when the cooperation is really discussed, it is estimated that they will be able to acquire more than 50% of the shares...... This article can be answered. The second is an interest-free loan of $300 million with a "non-existent" share valuation that is still "unwarranted", but this loan does not require cash, and prefers P&V's technical support and sending workers to Huaxia to build factories and establish technical schools.
Money is not a problem, the difficulty is this technology, and in this article, it is obvious that the empty gloves white wolf means to reproduce.
If this is not the handiwork of Her Royal Highness the princess, he will not believe it when he dies.
Qu Ning looked at him hesitantly, but said with a smile: "I know that in P&V, there are some people who are very supportive of your Duke family's shares, but it seems that there are some thorns, what brand integrity must be maintained?" Whoever sees the heavens stumbling on you? โ
"......" Tonks suddenly understood the implied meaning of her words, and looked up in surprise, "You mean, send these people to Huaxia?" โ
"Or else?" Qu Ning asked rhetorically, pinching his teeth.
She has investigated that in P&V, it is the group of big-bellied capitalists who support the shareholding, and the opponent is the group of technicians who are bent on innovation.
In the eyes of the technicians, when the Duke family becomes a shareholder, it will be difficult for them to concentrate on chemical inventions and innovations as they do now.
This group of people, when the Duke family really takes power according to her wishes, as losers in the business struggle, their lives will definitely be difficult.
Instead of sitting on a cold bench and wasting your youth, it is better to come to her side to shine.
In fact, Tonks also understood her intentions, and he also clearly knew that this incident was not harmful to their family, but he didn't know why, he had a feeling that "as soon as this contract was signed, he fell into a trap".
After hesitating for a while, he finally said to Qu Ning with some hesitation: "I accepted the contract first, young lady, do you allow me to take it back to discuss with my family?" โ
Qu Ning nodded, glanced at him very seriously, and said lightly without sarcasm at all: "Actually, whether you take this back or not, the result is the same." These terms are the broadest terms I can offer......"
Is this the broadest? Tonks felt like he was about to cry: What do the Chinese call this? Goose plucking?
"But I'm kind-hearted," Qu Ning praised himself with a smile, not blushing at all, but saying it as a matter of course, "I'll give you a few days to take it back and study it, well, how about three days?" Take a telegram back and forth, in fact, it's a matter of minutes, three days should be enough, right? Without waiting for him to answer, she clapped her hands and stood up, "That's it, three days later, I'll wait for you to come and give me good news!" โ
