This Leonner. Johansen is really not an easy character to deal with, although Heidi has given Li Yifan a vaccination, but Li Yifan still didn't expect that this guy is such a difficult character.

Smith had already reported Lipton's mismanagement to the headquarters, and explained the current situation of Lipton.

It has been seven or eight years since it entered the Chinese market, but it has always been in a state of loss, and according to the current situation, it will continue to lose money in the future.

Because he has been in China for several years, Smith has basically mastered the tea drinking habits of Chinese people, and according to his speculation, he is very pessimistic about the future of Lipton Huaguo in China's tea beverage market.

And this part of the point of view has also been recognized by most of Lipton's senior management, although Huaguo is the largest tea beverage market on Shijie, but because of the long history of tea drinking, as well as the people's own consumption habits, it is quite difficult to find a new way to open a breakthrough in this market.

Although no one is worried about the potential of the Chinese market, if the current situation continues to operate at a loss, no one can say exactly when it will be able to return to its original cost and make a profit.

To be honest, Lipton's annual business situation has already made Lipton's senior management dissatisfied, and even there are dissenting voices in the board of directors, clamoring to sell Lipton Huaguo and launch the Huaguo market, and it is not a day or two.

But after all, as the largest tea beverage market on Shijie, it still has great attraction, so there are still disputes in the board of directors.

What exactly should be done with Lipton Huaguo's side? Lipton's top management has not yet decided a winner. Some people advocate that a strong man breaks his wrist. Sell Lipton Huaguo, a company that has been losing money for many years.

After all, it is very expensive to maintain a few factories that do not make money every year, as well as to maintain this marketing channel, and some people plan to wait and see for a period of time, anyway, Lipton can afford to lose this money, but such an idea is after Lipton Huaguo has lost money for seven or eight consecutive years. It has gradually ceased to be popular.

After all, everyone is a company, not charity, a profitable enterprise is good to say, even if it is a business that can barely maintain the balance of payments, everyone is willing to let him maintain it, but it has been losing money year after year, and it has to continue to fill in money, such a company, not many people are willing to want it.

But after all, there are still some senior managers who are very optimistic about the prospects of Lipton Huaguo. As the largest tea beverage market on Shijie, the potential here is almost limitless. And these people firmly believe that they just haven't found the right stepping stone yet, and once they find the key to open this market, then this market will bring them a steady stream of benefits, and all they need to do now is to give Lipton Huaguo a little patience.

And this time, the person who was in charge of inspecting Lipton Huaguo and was in charge of negotiating with buyers who were interested in acquiring Lipton Huaguo, this Leonner. Johansen is a proponent of this creed, at least on the surface.

Li Yifan sent an invitation to this Lenner for several days, and also sent an invitation letter to Lipton Huaguo, giving a signal to the other party, expressing his desire to acquire Lipton Huaguo, but these news without exception Zuihou was lost in the sea and there was no response, and that Leunard has been soaking in the head office of Lipton Huaguo for the past few days, either inspecting the two companies, or studying data at the headquarters, and completely ignoring Li Yifan's invitation.

The other party's shrunken turtle's behavior made Li Yifan very annoyed, he originally planned to cut through the mess quickly, but now it seems that things are not as smooth as he imagined.

"What the hell does this guy want?"

Li Yifan pressed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray fiercely, the other party obviously received an order from his superiors to dispose of Lipton Huaguo's resources in China, but this guy is so good, he actually played Tai Chi with himself, it's really special, it's been a few days, but he didn't even see the other party's figure.

If this was not a normal business negotiation, Li Yifan really wanted to find an excuse to kill the other party directly to calm the evil anger in his heart.

An executive manager is just disobedient, who does he think he is?

"Turning around, I'm asking the people above to urge him, is he really that chicken feather an arrow?"

Heidi was also very dissatisfied with this Leon's performance, obviously she had already said hello to Lipton's top management, but she didn't expect this Lenner to play yang and yin, such a guy, in Heidi's heart, has been sentenced to life imprisonment.

Even if he completes this deal, even if he can get quite favorable conditions for Lipton, but after he returns, what awaits him will be the fate of sitting on the bench.

Heidi's phone call still worked, that night, Li Yifan received an invitation call from Leonner, the other party was very polite and apologized to him on the phone, and Zuihou also invited him to the dinner, but this invitation was unceremoniously rejected by Li Yifan, but he did not refuse the other party's invitation to have a coffee together.

The meeting time was arranged after dinner, in the café of a large hotel near Liangmaqiao, the environment was very elegant, and there were not many people at night, and it was very peaceful business.

As soon as Li Yifan walked into the café, he saw a tall, thin bald white man greet him warmly: "Hello, Mister Lee, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

It was a very formulaic tone, and Li Yifan also smiled slightly, and had a formulaic greeting with the other party, but at this time, he naturally had a trace of contempt in his expression.

Nima's, aren't you tough? You cow, are you going down?

Obviously, it feels very uncomfortable to be hung by this balding guy for the past few days.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting for a long time these days, and I'm sorry for my faux pas."

Lenner obviously felt the unhappiness in Li Yifan's attitude, but he was not angry at all, he was completely a businessman's attitude, dealing with Li Yifan.

"Okay, don't be polite, let's get straight to the point, shall we? To be honest, I prefer the American straight up the business, how about it? Make a price, right? The Jinghua Tea Corporation in your hands, and the Jinghua Tea Chief, how much are you going to ask? ”

This Lenner is so polite, obviously he has already borne the pressure from the top of Lipton, at this time, of course, Li Yifan can't be polite to the other party, anyway, after the other party goes back, he will also have the fate of sitting on the bench, so Li Yifan doesn't need to care about his mood at all.

Let out such a few hard words, so faceless, replaced by other big-nosed foreigners, according to the hearts of these guys who are used to being rampant in China, it is estimated that their faces have already changed, but at this time, this Lenner still has a smiling attitude, and he has no intention of being angry at all.

"Hehe, Mr. Li is really welcome, I guess after I go back this time, it should be the end of my career, you may be thinking at this time, if I am smart enough, I should prepare my resume now, and return to China to find a new job, right?"

Leonner's words made Li Yifan stunned, he had to raise his head and began to carefully look at this tall and thin foreigner with bald hair.

This guy doesn't look as ordinary as he seems, he turns out to be a very smart character, and what does he mean by saying this to his own face?

Li Yifan's eyes were full of suspicion, and Lenner also smiled slightly, not in a hurry.

"It can be seen that Mr. Li, you really want to take over the resources of our Lipton Huaguo in China, so let's do it, after the inspection in the past few days, I also have a clear understanding of the business situation of Lipton Huaguo. Regarding Lipton's Jinghua Tea Corporation and Jinghua Tea Factory, how about I plan to sell it to you for 30 million? ”

"What?"

At this time, even if Li Yifan had been pretending to be calm, he couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this offer.

Although Lipton Huaguo's business conditions are not good, and Jinghua Tea Company and Jinghua Tea Factory have been losing money year after year, but as far as these two places are concerned, the land alone is now more than that.

The Jinghua Tea Corporation and the Jinghua Tea Factory were purchased from the Beijing Municipal Government a few years ago when Lipton moved into Huaguo with a large amount of money.

At that time, Jinghua Tea Factory and Jinghua Tea Corporation had just been spun off from the original supply and marketing cooperative system restructured by the state, and the three tobacco, alcohol and tea companies were independent from the original old supply and marketing cooperative system.

Jinghua Tea Factory and Jinghua Tea Company were a separate family, but later due to the impact of private tea companies, their business situation was difficult, and they were later acquired by Lipton.

The location of Jinghua Tea Company is within the Third Ring Road, and the location of Jinghua Tea Factory is also within the Fourth Ring Road, because of the long history, so the area is not bad, although the company's office building is relatively old, but the area is not small.

The two plots of land owned by this company alone will definitely increase tenfold in the future, and even now, it is about the same price.

But now this Lenner is going to package these two companies and buy them for himself at a total price of 30 million, what is this guy's idea?

Li Yifan is a little confused about the purpose of this Leonner, isn't this guy a staunch oppositionist? In the first few days, I thought he would resolutely resist the deal?

But now this guy has pushed the price so low and wants to sell Lipton Huaguo's assets at a low price, what does he mean? (To be continued......)
