122 Gambling and running a company
When Zhou Quan returned to Miami, the first thing he did was to determine the joint salvage plan for Port Royal in cooperation with several other companies and investors. This is definitely not a simple matter, and now it is necessary to divide the responsibility and profit sharing of these things in advance.
Although the salvage has not yet begun, no one knows what can be found in the former pirate capital of Port Royal. However, since I have chosen to make an investment, I must have enough confidence to return with a full load.
"I can do the underwater search, but I need everyone's cooperation. I'm going to focus on finding areas where we can do it, although you all think that modern underwater cameras and cameras will allow us to see what's going on underwater. But that doesn't mean the dive team doesn't need to save zài, I'll lead the dive team to focus on the search for the pirate ship, and you will be responsible for providing support. ”
This time, the people in the conference room are all very cooperative investors and companies, so it is necessary for everyone to be clear about their responsibilities and so on. As long as you are open and honest, you can better lay the foundation for the next cooperation, so that you can save a lot of trouble in lawsuits.
"But Mr. Zhou, we think we need to adjust the distribution of benefits now. We think you might want to consider reducing your personal share, which is a bit inappropriate. "The representative of Odyssey Marine Exploration Company put forward his own opinion, and of course there can be no sloppiness in the matter of interests.
"I stressed at one point that I would not cut back on any personal share. I've now reduced my split to 20% and I'm not going to go back. If you think that I am not good enough to get such a share, then I will opt out, or I will choose to find another partner. ”
Zhou Quan's face was very ugly, and the Odyssey was a little bit inch-in.
"But Mr. Zhou, you should know that we need to cooperate with the Jamaican government for salvage in Port Royal, and they will charge nearly half of the profit share. And you now occupy another two percent of the gains, and it is difficult for us to be satisfied with this answer now; Of course, we know the importance of underwater search and positioning, but it is difficult for us to take such a risk, which is a project with a low rate of return. ”
This time it was the representatives of the Admeralti company who raised their dissatisfaction, although they had cooperated with Zhou Quan once, but this does not mean that everyone is an iron buddy.
Come to think of it, you know the costs that these investors need to pay, and it seems that the salvage fee may not be particularly much; However, the preliminary preparation or dredging of the relationship, these are all green dollars to open the way.
And Zhou Quan not only doesn't pay money, but just wants to occupy 20% of all profits in the name of underwater search, which is definitely not good. In this way, this becomes a part-time job for Zhou Quan and the Jamaican government, and everyone can't get too much benefit at all, which is an obvious loss-making business that can't be done at all.
"Zhou, you should know that we have advanced underwater detection instruments, and we have modern salvage equipment. We admit that you have excellent underwater search skills, but we don't think that you can search for a treasure that may have been buried in silt or sea sand by a single person. We would pay too much for such a salvage activity, it is not that we have already found the wreck, we don't know where to look for the wreck now, there is a lot of risk in this, and if there is not enough return, we have to think carefully. ”
Seeing that Admoreralti and Odyssey have enough tacit understanding, it is now obvious that they intend to advance and retreat together; One is the legal right to joint salvage in the port of Royal, and the other is the best marine shipwreck exploration company. Now they are convinced, as long as they are tough enough, then thoughtfulness must be backed down and compromised.
"In that case, then I propose that we suspend the negotiations. I think there was a lot of disagreement here, and we didn't come up with a cooperation plan that would be satisfactory to everyone. It's a pity, and hopefully we will have the opportunity to work together again. ”
Hearing the thoughtful words, both the Admeralti company and the Odyssey side were a little overwhelmed; It shouldn't be like this, everyone should pay back the money at a high price, and it is necessary to fight for every inch of land. But how did you get here, and if you have objections, you directly announce that you don't plan to cooperate, which is too decisive and a little immature.
It shouldn't be such a cooperation model at all, it's not like this, it's at the negotiation table, everyone needs to be patient enough, and they can't just leave if they are not satisfied with the price like buying something on the street.
Zhou Quan directly picked his son and left, which made the representatives of these large companies or investors dumbfounded. This is not according to common sense, even if you are not satisfied with the distribution of profits and the like, you can also talk slowly; How can you just leave, it's so insincere.
I feel very depressed, I originally thought that I was now making some achievements one after another, which really gave investors and partners some confidence. But now that you look at it, these people don't care about your previous results at all, because these people think that their strength is actually not necessarily worse than Zhou Quan, or even better.
Therefore, at this time of cooperation, you must give up part of your interests, and you are not the dominant one in this cooperation.
It's really uncomfortable, so you don't need to calm down now; And at this time, we must admit something, that is, Zhou Quan intends to get rid of such potential partners, at least let them know that things are good before starting a new round of negotiations.
The controversy now seems to be about the distribution of profits, but in fact, it is because those people now know that the port of Royal is a little too big, and it is a bit of a needle in a haystack to find a valuable shipwreck there. You have found a ship there, which will also give you some initiative in the cooperation; But that's not enough.
"No way, it's all big business now, and it's normal for everyone to fight hard. It's good if you have a little more patience now, if it doesn't work, you can start anew, as long as you find the ship. Chen Xin can only comfort and be thoughtful like this, originally thought that the cooperation would come naturally suddenly had so many twists and turns, which really made people very unhappy.
"I really can't wait to do it alone now, and I will directly build a marine salvage company by myself, and I will directly compete with them!" Although he was a little angry, Zhou Quan felt that it seemed that this was not bad, "Chen Xin, what do you say, I'll get a smaller salvage company; I do all the formalities and so on, and even when I find the wreck, I can at most ask someone to cooperate, so that I can have a lot less trouble. ”
"You can do it, anyway, now you basically have such a table, and if you have a company behind you, it will indeed give you an extra guarantee and capital. And such a treasure hunt company or the like, registration is actually very simple. Chen Xin said with certainty, she knew that Zhou Quan just didn't want to suffer some wretchedness now; Then it doesn't matter if you spend some money or something, who makes Zhou Quan have money now.
If you have money, of course, how to be comfortable and how to come; With that opportunity and ability, you don't need to suffer from those gases, how to be happy is the most important thing! For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
