Chapter Forty-Six: Four Crayfish

Yanjing, the capital of China, and the Huaxia branch of Samsung Electronics in South Korea, Park Sung-tae is answering a call from Pengcheng.

"What do you say? Sony Music? Have you investigated clearly? ”

"I've looked into it, President. Sony Music has long licensed the rights to electronic music to Sky.com. The major shareholder of Sky.com is Pangu Technology, which is wholly owned by Chen Bo. Today, just after I left on the front foot, Sony Music went to Sky.com in the afternoon! I don't know exactly what we're talking about! ”

The voice of Samsung Electronics' lawyer in China came from the phone.

"Well, you'll go again tomorrow. As long as the other party is not too much, he must take it down. Avoid long nights and dreams! ”

"President, in this case, the cost of acquisition will increase." Mr. Ma is very conscientious in considering the employer and saving costs.

"You don't have to worry about that, do what I say!" Park Sung-tae's tone was categorical and unquestionable.

Sony, is it really coming, Park Sung-tae's body was sunk deep in the thick and soft boss's chair, muttering to himself. Sony's desire to enter the mobile phone market is simply Sima Zhao's heart, which is well known to everyone. Samsung's intelligence network is not a vegetarian, and it has long been aware of the signs.

Moreover, now that the mobile communication market is developing rapidly, it is impossible for Sony, as a leader in the field of consumer electronics, not to be moved. And now the relationship with Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson and other old telecommunications equipment manufacturers is ambiguous and unclear. It's only a matter of time before Sony steps into this circle, but it would be a shame for him to step on Samsung's face and get in.

Damn the Chinese law, Park Sung-tae scolded secretly. What is the trademark law, whoever has to register it is whom, and it is very passive now, and it still needs to spend a lot of money to buy.

Chen Bo, who was thousands of miles away, sneezed a few times, thinking to himself who was scolding me behind my back, I really lacked morality. Looking at the time in the lower right corner of the computer desktop, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening. The office was empty, and Chen Bo was inadvertently left alone. Pinch your sore neck from sitting for a long time, stretch your waist again, and relax your stiff muscles.

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Chen Bo, almost startling Chen Bo, who was yawning with his mouth open.

"Why haven't you left work yet?" Chen Bo asked curiously, and the person who appeared in front of him turned out to be Liu Yuan, the head of personnel.

"No,... Extra shifts. Liu Yuan tightened her collar, and her eyes were a little evasive.

However, Chen Bo took a good look at all this scene, including the purple-red "strawberry" mark on Liu Yuan's neck, so he joked, "You have all the children, are the old husband and wife still so passionate?" ”

A flush quickly climbed onto Liu Yuan's slightly baby fat cheeks, and he said, "If it's okay, I'll go back first." ”

didn't wait for Chen Bo to reply, like a gust of wind, the girl jumped out. Chen Boxin said, running really fast, people who have babies at home and other breastfeeding people are different.

When lawyer Ma came to Sky.com again, Chen Bo was discussing with Guan Xin about the cooperation plan with Alpha Records.

Chen Bo saw that his attitude today was completely different from yesterday, and he also had a bottom in his heart. This is a little lamb to be slaughtered. It must have been the words that he conveyed to Samsung yesterday that worked. But they certainly didn't expect that in the end, Sony didn't choose to create its own brand, but hooked up with Ericsson.

Ericsson, a veteran Swedish telecommunications equipment manufacturer, was once the hegemon of the mobile phone industry, and in the 90s, Chinese people were proud to have an Ericsson mobile phone. However, the lagging speed of global 3G development has overwhelmed Ericsson, coupled with the frequent quality problems of Ericsson T28 series machines. The performance declined and even suffered losses, and the position of the industry leader was also surpassed by Nokia and Motorola. In the end, it hit it off with Sony, and the two companies each contributed half of the money to form a new company, Sony Ericsson, headquartered in the United Kingdom.

"Mr. Chen, please make a price. My client was very interested in this trademark, and I came with enough sincerity this time. "Mr. Ma gets straight to the point and doesn't drag his feet on the ground.

Chen Bo originally planned to chat with him for another half a day to sharpen his sharpness, but he didn't expect him to be so active. At this time, Chen Bo was in a difficult situation, and he didn't know what price to open. Because now the other party is obviously determined to win, but he has not revealed the bottom line, if it is too high, it is not appropriate, and if it is too low, he will lose money.

This time it was a little uncomfortable to be generalized. It is impossible to say that the trademark is not valuable, then you have to see how urgent the other party is and how much the demand is. And this matter can't be delayed, if it drags on for a long time, it will be easy to find clues, Sony Music has nothing to do with this matter, it's just a fox and a fake tiger. In the end, it will become a loss of wife and soldiers, and you can only sell it at a low price.

Chen Bo silently stretched out a palm and shook it in front of his eyes, let's try it first, if it doesn't work, you can go down again. Asking for a price, sitting on the ground to pay back, since it is business, let's talk about it according to the normal routine.

This is a five-fold increase, and of course Mr. Ma disagrees. It will cost more than 40 million yuan to convert into RMB, which is crazy. Although Park Sung-tae gave full authorization, the money could not be spent like this. He is not an ignorant master, if he really wants to make a deal at this price, then he will not want to represent Samsung's case in the future.

Relying on the brand effect of this big client alone has made him one of the rich and handsome in the legal industry, if he loses his job in the second half of his life, it will really outweigh the loss. Lawyer Ma didn't know which vegetable market to learn from the uncles and aunts, and he was also ruthless in bargaining, so he directly halved the waist and raised 2 million US dollars at once.

Look at your petty family, you don't have the style of an international big company at all. Chen Bo also had a donkey temper for a while, anyway, it's okay to be left and right now, the two of you cut a knife, and I added a piece of rhythm, grinding for a morning, and the final disagreement stayed at 2.5 million US dollars.

250, isn't this a curse, that's not possible. Chen Bo saw that it was time for lunch and didn't want to continue grinding with him. Directly as a sentence, 2.6 million US dollars can be signed immediately, if not, roll the calf.

Lawyer Ma finally relented and took out the trademark transfer agreement that had been prepared on the spot, and only needed to fill in a number. The official seal of Samsung Electronics has already been stamped, and it is really prepared.

The US dollar is easy to collect, but it cannot be spent in China, and it must be converted into RMB from the bank, and there will be a certain loss in the exchange rate difference. simply let Samsung Electronics directly transfer the money to Chen Bo's bank account on Hong Kong Island. The financial agency company can handle the account of Citibank on behalf of the company, and there is no need for Chen Bo to smuggle to Hong Kong Island, and at the same time, it can reasonably avoid the high domestic corporate income tax.

After the payment arrives, another trademark transfer procedure will be completed, but Chen Bo basically does not have to come forward for those procedures, and directly represents him. Just do it.

Seeing off Lawyer Ma, Chen Bo felt secretly happy. 2.6 million US dollars, according to the current exchange rate of 1:8.4 between the yuan and the US dollar, it is enough to 22 million yuan. I didn't expect Lao Tzu to become a multimillionaire, how can I feel so unreal.

What is the concept of 22 million now, you must know that the total assets of the richest man in the country in 2000 were only a few hundred million. 22 million can even go to Pengcheng to buy a small high-rise building, be a happy charter public, and it will be ten times more in ten years!

With money, Chen Bo naturally had new ideas in his heart. Alpha Records is not doing well now, can you try to buy the dip and drill a loophole? Money is dead after all, and only by investing it can money make money.

Chen Bo and Yang Junrong did not meet in Sky.com, but chose to be in a small private room in a hotel.

"Mr. Yang, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not."

The two sat opposite each other, a pot of dragon wells before the rain, a plate of Cantonese style, like two old friends, chatting while tasting. This is also a unique business culture in China, and business cannot be negotiated without wine tables and dining tables.

"Mr. Chen, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Yang Junrong was very polite.

"I'm so much younger than you, you don't have to call me Mr. Chen, it sounds so awkward. Mr. Yang is also a senior in the circle, thank you for not abandoning me and calling you Brother Yang, you just need to call me Brother Chen. ”

Maybe they will be colleagues in the future, Chen Bo deliberately brought the relationship between them closer. This is also the first trick commonly used in the sales industry, breaking the ice, narrowing the distance between each other, and making the atmosphere more relaxed.

"Okay, I'll call you Brother Chen, it's rare to find someone like you who is both young and smart." Yang Junrong is very hearty, and when he sees that the other party takes the initiative to make friends, he will not deliberately hold the shelf, after all, he is still asking for help.

"With all due respect, Brother Yang. Wu Zhongxian is a rare entertainment genius, he was born to eat that bowl of rice. But he's not necessarily a good boss and he's not very good at managing a company. Of course, I also have feelings, that is, let's chat in private, if there is anything wrong, Brother Yang, don't care too much. After all, you've been friends for so long, and you must know more than I do. ”

Yang Junrong took a sip of tea, nodded and said, "Although Brother Chen has never been to Taiwan Island, he still has a very unique vision. Wu Zhongxian is a genius, and he has nothing to say about his friends. That's why I'm willing to come to Alpha to help him take care of the company, but the resources are limited, and although Taiwan Island is not big, the water is also muddy. ”

Yang Junrong squeezed out a trace of bitterness on his face, it seems that he is not doing well, then it will be easy to do.

"Supposedly, Al-Discovery doesn't make money, and he doesn't have any artists. Wu Zhongxian never thought about getting rid of this burden? ”

"What do you mean by Brother Chen?" Yang Junrong was not slow to react, and asked with a little vigilance.

"If I could, I would like to take Alpha over. As you know, the mainland's economic growth is leading the world, and the demand for the entertainment industry will naturally rise with it. What is the population of Taiwan? 20 million or 30 million? What about the mainland? 1.3 billion, you can calculate how big this market can be. ”

"There are still a lot of people in the mainland who can't eat, right?" Yang Junrong's expression was obviously a little disbelieving, after all, he was from Taiwan Island, and he was used to being superior.

"The times will always pass, Brother Yang has also been to the mainland before, and the changes now can be described as a thousand miles a day, and the vicissitudes of life. Just look at Pengcheng, it's only been 22 years, and it's now an international metropolis. If I dare to take over, I will have the confidence to revitalize. ”

China's economy has long been plugged in the wings of take-off, galloping on the highway. Taiwan Island, once the Asian Four Little Tigers, once they leave the mainland market, the Four Little Dragons become four crayfish!
