Chapter 91: The Conversation Collapses
(Thank you to Wumeng for falling into the red dust, jerking off all over the world, the five emperors of Khan, and the new friend Huang Xiange, and the reward of no immortal after mortals, thank you for your support.) M.m hand-hit starter])
However, they will also pay great attention to this kind of conversation, and even if there are preventive measures, they will be concise and short.
Zhou You thought about it for a moment and asked, "I want to know what your company's ultimate purpose is for this trademark?" Everyone knows that you can't get this trademark if you go to the court. Maybe in the Philippines, their courts will support that, but in China, you're challenging all of us' perceptions. ”
"This is also the main reason why we want to meet directly with these things, the Viagra trademark is in your hands, and it is definitely not as important as ours."
Zhou You is the seller, and you can only give the answer first. "It is precisely because of this recognition that I do not refuse to transfer the trademark to you."
He laughed and said, "Now that we have reached a consensus on this, we can talk about the price." ”
Zhou You leaned back in his chair, spread his hands and said, "I already gave my opinion last time. ”
"This price is unacceptable to the board......" he shook his head, held out two fingers and said, "minus two-thirds, this is the authority given to me by the board." ”
"Is it limited to the mainland?"
"No, no, no, of course not, all."
For bargaining, it is not Zhou You's specialty, but now they say it casually, it is countless funds, and he can't help but pay no attention to it.
But he knew that if he continued to be entangled like this, he would definitely be the one who would admit defeat in the end. Looking at Kerry's appearance, I know that he came prepared, and he was ready to talk for a month or a year.
There is only one person in the tour, unlike him who has a team behind him, and this kind of business negotiation is not his forte. If you want to take the initiative, you have to go off the beaten path.
Zhou You thought about it for a while before saying: "This issue has been put aside for the time being, since we have reached an intention to cooperate in this regard, but we will not close it immediately, so there is enough time to negotiate." Let me start by giving my opinion on this lawsuit. ”
"Please."
Suing us for trademark infringement will be big news, but we must not over-consume people's enthusiasm. In your plan, you even want to fight the lawsuit all the way to the Supreme Court, which I absolutely do not accept. There will be a measure of people's curiosity, and we can't let people get bored with our lawsuit in the end, which is not good for our brand. Personally, I think two years should be a reasonable cut-off. And there is a two-year market cultivation period, when you directly get the Viagra trademark, you can directly promote the product to the whole country, and it will not have much impact on your sales. ”
Kerry stopped talking, he didn't expect that traveling around would be so difficult.
In their plans, there are different plans. Traveling around here must be stabilized first, and you can pay a deposit to him first. In this way, the trademark can be indirectly controlled in his own hands, and Zhou You can neither launch a product named after Viagra nor transfer the trademark to others.
If the lawsuit is fought for ten years, then the trademark of Zhou You will be pinched in their hands for ten years, and in the end, if the trademark of Viagra is made, they can give up the trademark Viagra. If Viagra is still not accepted by the Chinese, then they will honestly buy the full amount of Zhouyou's trademark.
Viagra is well known as a common name by the majority of Chinese, but it is not impossible to change. Pfizer is also confident that it will take a few years to build the Viagra trademark, and at that time, the trademark in Zhou You's hand will become a chicken rib.
But even Pan Yuan didn't see this, but the young man in front of him discovered it at once. It's not a conspiracy, it's just a loophole, and as long as Zhou You accepts their deposit, they can sit back and relax.
After thinking about it for a while, Kerry continued to probe: "Two years is too short, and I don't think two years will be enough to nurture the market. ”
Zhou You laughed and said, "When does the drug need to be cultivated in the market?" I can't just leave the trademark empty in my hand, it's not fair to me. ”
"We can pay Mr. Zhou a large deposit first, and if the lawsuit is over, we will not pay the balance, and Mr. Zhou can freely dispose of your trademark."
Zhou You was impatient, and said directly: "The deposit of 20 million US dollars, I can accept your conditions, otherwise I will refuse." If the lawsuit is fought for 10 years, I am confident that the Viagra trademark can be worth 200 million US dollars. What should I do if you just evaluate it at the current market price and drag it out to 10 years? Even Coca-Cola, if they don't use this trademark for ten years, it will depreciate drastically! ”
You've used this trick in your previous life, and you still want to use it, I'm not so easy to deceive!
Seeing that Zhou You couldn't take the bait, Kerry said: "Twenty million is the total price, not the deposit......"
Zhou You stood up, propped his hands on the table, approached his gray eyes and said, "Am I negotiating a transaction price with you now?" No, if we can't reach a tacit agreement on the matter of the lawsuit, then I refuse to make an offer. ”
Putting the things on the table back into his pocket, Zhou You said to them: "You can go back and report this matter to the board of directors, if there is no suitable cooperation plan to take care of the interests of both parties, then make a price that makes me happy and complete the transaction." Of course, in order to cooperate with your publicity, I am also obliged to accompany you in a play. But if you just want to take advantage of me, instead of taking care of my interests, then I can only launch my own product immediately......"
Zhou You patted him on the shoulder politely and said, "Half a year at most, beyond this time, if you want to get a trademark, you need a higher price." ”
Watching Zhou You leave without looking back, Kerry and Charlie looked at each other, not understanding what was happening. Why did the negotiation go well, Zhou You suddenly got angry, and then left on his own. Even if the conditions can't be negotiated, you can talk about it slowly!
Zhou You paid at the bar, raised his hand at them, and left.
Kerry looked at Charlie and asked, "What do you think of his personality?" ”
"We know so little about him, we thought that a few million dollars would make him overjoyed, but now he seems to be unconcerned about tens of millions."
"Yes, it's a tough opponent. But we still have to deal with him. ”
Maybe we can give David Pan a call and ask if there's any misunderstanding between us. ”
When Kerry dialed Pan Yuan's number, he found that he was on the phone, so he could only shrug his shoulders and pout.
What they didn't know was that as soon as Zhou You went out, he called Pan Yuan. He showed toughness in front of the other party, and he also needed Pan Yuan to be a peacemaker in the middle.
As soon as the phone was connected, Zhou You complained to him on the phone. "Think I'm a country bun? Thought I hadn't seen the money? Delusionally coaxed me into their trap with a little money, I really think I'm Kaizi! ”
If it was before, Pan Yuan really thought that Zhou You was a dirt bun, but now he would definitely not think like this. "If you don't, I really don't see what they're trying to do. Yes, if you take a deposit from them, it will be complicated. If the lawsuit really lasts for ten years, then the trademark will be wasted ten years in vain. ”
Zhou You said: "I called you for two things, one is that you helped us round the scene in the middle, and the other is that I want to mortgage the trademark to He Dong, because I urgently need a sum of money now, but with Pfizer, things are not so easy to deal with." ”
Knowing Zhou You's character, Pan Yuan didn't think that what he lacked was a little money. Because the company's efficiency is good, there will be a dividend at the end of the year, although it is not much, but it is enough for his expenses.
But he still said, "I don't know how much you need, if it's not much, I can lend it to you first." ”
Zhou You heard the amusement, and hurriedly said: "It doesn't take a lot, five million dollars is enough." I can pay you high interest. ”
What Zhou You lacks now is time, and the design drawings have been perfected by him, but he can't implement them for a long time, which makes him panic all the time.
It will take another year or two to build a ship, and if you don't order it, how long will it take to build it!
When Pan Yuan heard that it was five million, or dollars, he immediately said: "Then you should kill me!" ”
"I know you can't come up with so much cash...... "Zhou You got acquainted with him and didn't give him face at all." That's why I thought of He Dong, otherwise, do you think I would be willing to mortgage the trademark? Just now, Kerry got 20 million, and I ignored him. ”
"I can help you contact this matter, but I don't know what his specific attitude will be."
Walking out of the apartment building, he traveled around but didn't know where he was going. Yan Fangqing, Liang Hao and they are still taking exams, and they are annoyed at this time, and those two chicks don't want to go around. He thought about it for a moment, and simply took the elevator back to his room upstairs.
Kerry finally got through to Pan Yuan and talked about the surprising attitude of traveling.
Pan Yuan said with a smile: "Kerry, you can't communicate with him in the way of our businessmen, although he is involved in business now, he is still a martial artist in essence. ”
"Warrior?" Kerry pronounced the Chinese word in an awkward tone.
Pan Yuan smiled and said, "You can think of him as Bruce Lee, Chinese kung fu, understand?" He didn't like the business routine. ”
Zhou You didn't know how Pan Yuan communicated with him, but in the evening, everyone still sat together again.
In any case, Kerry was invited to come, according to Pan Yuan, to be a good host.
Zhou You's heart doesn't think so, you're going to the United States, I'm afraid you won't be able to mix a meal! They don't tell you about their feelings, so why should you tell them about your feelings?
