Chapter 114: Heartbroken Piaggio
"JETLi," Knowing that Jet Li was favored by the Alice Group, the American actors who were filming in the same crew flocked over, patting Jet Li's shoulder hard, with envy and jealousy in their eyes, and kept shouting, "Hey, Jet, you're going to have a treat tonight, invite all of us to a big dinner, God, I'm so envious of you!" ”
As people who grew up in this land, these Americans certainly know better than Jet Li how terrible the status of this group in the United States is!
"To be honest," Arnold is still the same black leather coat and black sunglasses that seem to never change--the first impression of people who see him is that this guy is a thug, not an executive of a large group, in fact, there has never been an executive in any company in the United States dressed like Arnold - the tone was cold, making Jet Li feel furious, as if hiding in that black leather coat was not a person, but a beast, "We didn't think about you before, not at all." ”
With Arnold's indifferent tone, he slowly shook his raised index finger, "But our Alice Group's partners in China strongly ask you to become the image spokesperson of our cooperative companies in China, and we agree to do so out of the consideration of respecting our partners." So, boy, you should feel very fortunate that our boss has a good relationship with the Chinese partner, and she doesn't have the slightest bad influence on the relationship between the two companies like this little thing. ”
Jet Li felt very uncomfortable in front of this guy, not only because of this guy's arrogant tone, in fact, Jet Li certainly knew that Alice Group could send one of the four top executives, and he didn't know how much face he had given him. As a martial artist who has practiced martial arts, Jet Li knows better what it feels like, just like facing a ferocious and savage beast alone in a big forest. No, it even feels more dangerous than a beast.
It's not like pulling face in front of foreigners, Jet Li pursed his lips slightly, and didn't speak: This is the company's usual way of lowering endorsement fees. Jet Li thought.
This guy isn't bad! Arnold nodded secretly: I haven't seen a few people who can still stay calm under the double pressure of his momentum and language, this guy, as the boss said, is a talent!
"Also. I think you don't seem to have an agent yet? Seeing Jet Li's good performance, Arnold's tone slowed down, "So how can we talk about this issue now?" Do I talk to you directly or do you find an agent on an ad hoc basis? ”
"Just talk to me!" finally entered the substantive stage, Jet Li breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is the endorsement contract we have prepared for you," Arnold pushed through a folder in front of him, "basically, you need to endorse our products for three years, you need to shoot some print and TV commercials necessary for publicity, and you also need to cooperate with us to promote our products when necessary." Of course, in order not to conflict with your career, we will try to stagger your movie schedule. As for endorsement pay, "do you accept RMB or USD?" ”
Knowing that Jet Li is Chinese, Arnold asked this question.
"Dollars," Jet Li said after a moment's thought.
"OK," Arnold nodded, "if it's a dollar." Your endorsement fee is $400,000 for the first year, and the next two years will improve depending on your performance, which is about 20% or so, of course. During the endorsement of our products, you are not allowed to endorse the same type of products, whether it is in China or outside China, is there a problem? ”
"No problem," Jet Li shook his head.
"Okay." Arnold was still expressionless, "You can go back and study this contract, tell me directly if there is anything that needs to be modified, and in addition, if you are not satisfied with the endorsement fee, you can tell me now." ”
"No, I'm satisfied." Jet Li shook his head. I am now short of money, 400,000 US dollars, on top of my current income for almost half a year, this is an unexpectedly high salary, no wonder American colleagues say that Alice Group is very generous, now it seems that this is indeed the case, "Go back and I will look at the contract, and I will give you an exact answer in three days." ”
"No problem." Arnold nodded.
Go back and see if it's just a pretext, Jet Li is illiterate, of course you need to go back to someone to study the contract carefully, otherwise you accidentally fall into the trap, wouldn't you suffer a big loss? Such things abound in the United States, Jet Li has long been surprised, and now that it is his turn, of course, it is better to be careful.
"Hehe," Zhang Lan burst into laughter when she heard Arnold's vivid description of the scene when the two met on the phone, and asked while laughing, "Then did you bully others in the end?" ”
"Bullying him?" Arnold pursed the corners of his lips disdainfully, "How come?" I'm not interested in bullying kids yet. ”
"Then why are you scaring people?" Zhang Lan finally stopped laughing and asked.
"If you don't scare him, who knows if this guy will ask for a sky-high price?" Arnold was remarkable, "I'm taking precautions!" Otherwise, wouldn't it be troublesome if the two sides pulled up the skin when the time came? ”
"So you're here to avoid trouble?" Zhang Lan sweated when she listened, "Then tell me, did you often use this trick against your negotiation opponent in the past?" ”
"Of course," Arnold couldn't help but smile smugly on the phone, "Don't you know that this is the easiest and most convenient way?" ”
Sweat! Zhang Lan finally understood why no one dared to mess with Alice Group in the United States, it turned out that not only the background of the company, but also the role of these four guys should not be underestimated.
The inspection of the production line is in full swing, no matter what the attitude of Piaggio's side is, but Zhang Lan, Xiao Chenxi and Alice's attitude is very resolute: since we have better methods, more advanced technology, higher efficiency, and the most gratifying thing is that it doesn't cost money, and fools don't use it!
Zhang Zongjun thinks it's not necessary, a good production line hasn't started to use it yet, what to do with it, it's good to use it like this first.
Well, since there are different voices in the company, let's call a shareholder meeting to vote by a show of hands. Naturally, the result of the vote made Zhang Zongjun very depressed, and 75% of the shares agreed to carry out the transformation, that is, his son, daughter and Alice all agreed, so the production line transformation plan was voted and approved by the board of directors.
Zhang Zongjun, who didn't agree very much, had to obediently raise his hand and surrender: he originally felt that the shares he held were good, but now it seems that the shares he has accounted for are still too few!
As a result, the brand-new production line, which had never been put into use once, was forced to accept the fate of being remodeled, and all the parts needed for the transformation were ordered by Alice in the United States.
At the same time, Mr. Piaggio Group, who is far away in Italy, is also anxious about Zhang Lan's conditions: this guy is too yin, the conditions seem to be very fair, they use the transformation technology of their own production line for the technology of their own motorcycles, both sides are equivalent exchanges, but think about it carefully, how much can your production line improve even if it is pushed to the redesign? Hold on to death 50% and then the sky! That's three years of technology on my side! After three years of technology accumulation, I want to provide it to this vampire completely free of charge, and if I sell it for money, it will be countless white flowers! Mr. President, who has always been called a vampire, cursed others as vampires for the first time.
But! Mr. President was depressed again: although the technical transformation of the production line does not seem to have such a big effect, but the efficiency of the improvement is too considerable, the Piaggio Group's annual motorcycle production is several million, if the efficiency is increased by 20% without increasing the cost of the production line, it does not mean that they have made money in vain on the basis of the company's scale has not been expanded?
Playing the art of war, I am still the ancestor who has never played the art of war after all! The president sighed in his heart.
What a headache! Seeing Mr. President's expression, the president's secretary intimately helped massage the president's head: of course she knew why Mr. President, who had always been shrewd, had a headache.
"Actually," the beautiful female secretary said while helping with the massage, "Mr. President, I think this condition is still acceptable, but we don't earn as much as before." ”
Yes, of course, the president also understands that he still earns it, but he always feels uncomfortable when he sees the silver sent out in vain.
Forget it, it's a must to spend money to continue to make friends with Alice Group! Mr. President gave himself an excuse to finally get by, and reluctantly comforted himself, but why, his heart was still so painful?
