Chapter 82 Italian Negotiations (Part II) Asking for a Monthly Pass
After throwing the bait, Alice made another request, "Of course, Mr. Riccardo Costagliola, as the first collaboration between Alice and Piaggio has achieved such a great achievement, we hope to add the name of your company Piaggio to the names of the motorcycles we produce." For example, our product can be called the Alice Piaggio series. ”
"My God," said even a negotiator like Riccardo Costagliola, who was struck by Alice's well-intentioned approach, with all the forms of interest humility involved in the negotiations? This means that Piaggio will open up the market in China without spending a penny.
Although it is already known that Japan's Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha and other major motorcycle companies have begun to enter the Chinese market ambitiously, but the company's top management is still worried about this, not only Piaggio company, almost the entire European motorcycle companies are worried about this, for many years led by the United States and other governments of the demonization propaganda of the Red regime in the far East has been extremely successful, not only the people, but even these business giants have been greatly affected. No one can guarantee that the red country will really be as open as they advertise, that no one can guarantee that the regime will suddenly change their mind one day, and if one day their policies suddenly change, everything they have worked so hard to develop in China will be in vain.
However, seeing a huge market with a population of more than a billion people and unable to develop it, these guys are even more uncomfortable when they are scratched by kittens. No one knows how much capacity this huge market can have, and although the country is still poor, it can't support that huge population base.
The whole West is tormented by this contradictory feeling of looking at it and wanting to do it but not daring to do it. Now, he has an opportunity to develop the Chinese market without paying much price, and Riccardo Costagliola can't imagine how much this means for his company in the future.
"Miss Alice," Riccardo Costagliola's voice was noticeably hurried. "Excuse me, is what you just said true? Honestly, your words are so shocking that I can't believe my ears. ”
"Of course." Alice pursed the corners of her mouth slightly, so far, everything is under her control.
This act of kindness by the Alice Group completely disrupted the previous deployment of the Piaggio Group, and Riccardo Costagliola had to reconsider the way he cooperated with the Alice Group. Thinking of this, Riccardo Costagliola said apologetically to Alice. "Miss Alice, I am deeply touched by your kindness and by the Piaggio Group, and I think we need to revisit it within our company, but rest assured that the new negotiations will take place as scheduled in three days' time, and I hope you have a good time in Italy these days."
"Please." Alice gracefully bowed and motioned for Mr. Riccardo Costaggliola to leave.
Riccardo Costagliola nodded apologetically. With his assistants, he quickly turned and left.
"Why are there so many preferential terms?" Arnold on the side was a little puzzled, "It seems that these guys have made a lot of cheap money without paying a penny?" ”
"It's not going to be for nothing," Alice smiled, "Didn't you see them hurry back and discuss countermeasures?" These old and refined guys all understand a truth, there is no free lunch in the world, and no matter how much benefit you get, you have to come up with the same benefits, otherwise why do you think they don't dare to eat it in one bite? Isn't it because of some of our invisible strengths? ”
Invisible strength? Arnold nodded, if the Piaggio group, which is so popular in Italy, is not related to the famous Italian mafia, then he will not believe it if he kills Arnold. That being the case, it is not surprising that the Piaggio group knew about the inexplicable relationship between the Alice group and the African bayonets and the Rose Mercenaries.
"Forget it," Arnold decided not to bother. Anyway, Alice is busy with work, and when she comes to Italy, she can't be sorry for the beauties on the street, "Then you are busy, I will go out." Arnold said hello to Alice, and took Schwa, Singer, and Hammerhead out into the street to hunt birds.
If it's a general company. But if this company is only part of a huge invisible group that is deeply hidden and unknown to the world, then the Piaggio Group will have to consider whether the money is a bit hot.
Riccardo Costagliola is sitting in the office of the president of the Piaggio Group, giving a detailed account of today's negotiations.
"That's right," Mr. President frowned, Alice Group showed such goodwill, if he didn't say anything, it would really be a bit of a lift. For Alice Group, Mr. President still has a little understanding, this group that quickly emerged in the United States has attracted the attention of many large conglomerates in the world, nothing, all because the rise of this group is too fast, if there is no huge force behind it, it is impossible to believe that these guys who have been fighting in the mall for most of their lives can not believe it, but the thing is strange here, no matter how it is investigated, no matter what kind of force everyone launches, No one knows which side this newly emerged group belongs to.
This is a bit of a shocking thing, as all the well-known conglomerates in these countries have discovered that this syndicate does not belong to any of the forces known to them. Could it be that this belongs to some invisible and huge force? With everyone's investigation, there is finally a little clue in front of some big people: this group actually has some mysterious connection with the hot bayonets and rose mercenary regiments in Africa! Unfortunately, the president of the Piaggio Group is one of the supporters behind the mafia, and they also know about this news.
For this mercenary, whether it is the mafia or the Ku Klux Klux Klan, or the Yamaguchi-gumi in Japan, in short, whether it is the world's major underworld organizations or the world's largest underworld organization, the United States ** team, they all have a certain respect for this mercenary organization, or fear of it. No one can guarantee that they will survive the pursuit of bayonets and roses, and the poor American general is the best proof of this.
Dealing with this Alice group, which has a mysterious connection to "bayonets and roses", the Piaggio group is not as easy as it seems, and no one knows how much they should take from the other to be appropriate. If you anger them, Mr. President can't guarantee that they will watch them suffer dumb losses.
"In this way," Mr. President frowned and thought for a while, and finally gave his instructions to Mr. Vice President, "in the next negotiation." You can authorize the Chinese branch of Alice Group, allow them to sell their motorcycles back to us in the form of OEM after the technology is mature, and we will buy back at an extremely favorable price, in addition, in the models introduced by Alice Group, you can be appropriately relaxed, except for the highest-end models we produce, as long as they need to be introduced, as long as the price is right. can be put on them. ”
The highest-end models, even if they are put to them, Mr. President believes that they will not be able to produce them, sometimes, motorcycles are not just simple assembly can be, but also need more hard work and hard work of technicians, and more time accumulation.
"Isn't that a bit too favorable?" Riccardo Costagilla was a little surprised, Mr. President made such a big concession, Riccardo Costagliola was the first time he had seen it.
"Just do it," saw Riccardo Costagilla eager to ask why. The president told him directly, "There are some situations that you know and it doesn't do any good." ”
"Okay, I'll do it." Since Mr. President has already said it so obviously. If you don't know how to do it, your head will really be full of shit. It seems that there are a lot of things in it that I don't know, and things are not as simple as I imagined.
Three days later.
"Miss Alice, after repeated meetings and discussions with the senior management of our group, we have expressed great goodwill to Alice Group. We at the Piaggio Group are grateful. In return, we would like to be able to license your Chinese branch and when the time is right, we will buy back your motorcycles in the form of OEM. In addition, the company has decided that the personnel support of your company can be adjusted as appropriate. Riccardo Costagliola made the above remarks after the negotiations began, after greeting each other.
"Thank you for your help," Alice nodded, making a very grateful expression, "for which I am deeply grateful, and the Alice Group will remember the friendship of the Piaggio Group." So, would we like to have a careful discussion about the models to be introduced? ”
"No problem," Riccardo Costagliola nodded.
After careful negotiations, the two sides finally decided that in addition to the introduction of the PIAGGIO brand from the Piaggio Group, the Italian Piaggio Group also has three series of more than a dozen varieties of motorcycles, including Vespa scooter series, Gilera pedal series, Derbi small displacement racing series, and MotoGuzzi straddle series.
The three series are all Biaggio's models, which are much better than Alice's original estimates, and I originally thought that it would be very good to be able to introduce a eliminated production line, which is with a try-and-see attitude, and can be introduced to Piaggio's current production models, Alice really didn't expect it. As for the production line, Riccardo Costagliola told Alice that the production line is now being customized by relevant manufacturers, and there are also related abrasives and other supporting equipment, which is believed to be fully produced in three months, and then Piaggio Group will directly ship to Alice Group China Branch.
Alice was very satisfied with the sincerity expressed by the Piaggio Group, and at the celebratory reception after the negotiations, Alice had a brief contact with the president of the Piaggio Group, who was present at the reception, and Alice told him, "If necessary, the Piaggio Group or the President can ask the Alice Group for help, and the Alice Group will provide as much help as possible." ”
If these words were put on someone else, Mr. President would probably splash wine on this guy's face, but at this time, Mr. President was extremely excited, and thanked Alice for her kindness, at least, this guy knew that he would not appear on the kill list of Bayonet and Rose, and Bayonet and Rose would not accept it when it came to tasks related to him. Not to mention the ability to ask for help?
Mr. President felt that compared to the results of the negotiations, his biggest gain was that he got Alice's promise.
Negotiations with Piaggio went well, but then there were some minor problems with Ducati.
The Alice Group initially contacted the Kajiwa Group, the parent company of the Ducati Group, and the Kajiwa Group was very interested in the sports of the Alice Group, and immediately ordered a special person to negotiate with the Alice Group on cooperation.
For DelTorchio, Zhang Lan has some impressions, this guy is also one of the most bullish figures in the world's high-end motorcycle industry, this guy later became the CEO of Ducati, and Ducati has been carried forward in his hands.
