Chapter 62: Laissez-faire
Zhao Hongbing's brows were raised at first, and then quickly furrowed.
Obviously, after such a long exchange, Mr. Nie has come to believe in the strategy of Barbari's company described by Zhao Hongbing.
These franchisees, they are more interested in the brand of Uulis clothing, as for Zhao Hongbing's newly designed brand Tianzhi, they are not much interested at all.
Just like the Mr. Nie in front of him, the main purpose of his willingness to come to their Uuris operation center when he was on a business trip in Yangcheng is the agency of the Eddie brand.
"Mr. Nie, you can definitely rest assured of this." Zhao Hongbing assured: "We at Ulys* were also created at the beginning of last year, but now we have grown to 70 stores in Yangcheng and Jiang Province.
Again, give our company a little time and we have the ability to run a new brand. ”
Nie Yuansheng snorted: "Boss Zhao, I have to think about this matter seriously before I can decide." ”
Zhao Hongbing nodded, and asked instead: "Mr. Nie now knows Barbarie's movements, I don't know if you can help me, the person who provided information, to help make it convenient."
I need the phone number of Barbari Clothing's agents in other provinces, presumably Mr. Nie will not refuse, right? ”
Provincial agents like them know each other and have contact information. Probably the form is like the later generations, the prestige group and the buckle group.
Zhao Hongbing knew that after Boss Nie knew that Barbari was going to leave them, he would not be stingy with such a thing anymore. After all, the first priority of businessmen is profit, and if Barbarie leaves them, they have no profit at all.
Boss Nie, who has always had his back to the big tree to enjoy the shade, will inevitably be annoyed and angry, and will have a high chance of giving him this information.
Mr. Nie seemed to think for a moment, and then said, "Of course you can." ”
Waiting for the other party's reply, Zhao Hongbing laughed.
Two days later, when Zhao Hongbing contacted these agents one by one according to the phone number provided by Mr. Nie. Most of the agents seemed to be interested in what Zhao Hongbing said, but they rejected Zhao Hongbing one by one.
For this result, Zhao Hongbing was prepared.
For these provincial agents, many of them started by operating Barbari clothing. Even now, the income brought to them by the agent Barbarie clothing is still a large part of their income.
In that case, how could they just flip the other cheek with Barbari Apparel and then commit to a brand they'd never heard of before!?
Among these agents, after learning that Zhao Hongbing was the boss of Yuris Clothing, they expressed their interest in endorsing Yuris Clothing, and no longer mentioned the new brand of Tianzhi.
For the agent's request, of course, Zhao Hongbing directly denied it.
Yuris clothing is his foundation in Yangcheng, and Zhao Hongbing naturally will not easily give up the direct management of this part of the assets.
After a round of rejection, Zhao Hongbing was not angry. About a week later, Mr. Zhao made another phone call with the agents to strengthen his presence.
Just two days after making this call, Zhao Hongbing received a call from the magic capital.
"Hello, are you Boss Zhao?" There was a strange voice on the other side of the phone.
"I am." Feeling a familiar feeling from the phone, Zhao Hongbing asked out loud: "Excuse me, is it Mr. Thomas?" ”
"It's me, Boss Zhao, according to one of our company's provincial agents. You're talking to my provincial agents right now, and I want them to represent your products, right? Mr. Thomas's voice was so angry that he didn't even use his native English, but instead questioned Zhao Hongbing in his native Chinese.
Listening to the other party's not fluent Chinese, Zhao Hongbing's brows furrowed, "Hehe, that's right." Zhao Hongbing did not deny this.
"Boss Zhao, in a Chinese sentence, you and I are both peers. It's too unpopular for you to contact our Barbarie agents so privately that you want to poach them, right? ”
Zhao Hongbing laughed softly, his way of doing this is a bit unreasonable, so is Barbari's company's approach kind?
"Mr. Thomas, do you think your company's approach is kind?" Zhao Hongbing said slowly: "Isn't your Barberry Company going to abandon these agents sooner or later?" ”
On the other end of the phone that Zhao Hongbing couldn't see, Thomas's blue eyes widened, and his temper was unconsciously provoked, and he pulled his hair with his other hand, and his golden hair was messy.
Their Barbari clothing company really wants to reorganize the distribution system, and the headquarters requires them to replace all provincial agents in Huaxia District, and all stores to be directly operated stores.
However, according to his original plan, this process will take at least three years. During this period of time, the business of Barbari clothing still has to rely on the provincial agents in Huaxia District.
Zhao Hongbing's words disrupted the original layout of their company.
"Boss Zhao, your current behavior has seriously affected the operation of our company." Thomas threatened on the phone: "If you continue like this, our company will take legal measures to protect the legitimate interests of our company when necessary." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Hongbing's eyes narrowed slightly, "Mr. Thomas, I don't know if you still remember the piracy case related to your company that happened in Yangcheng three months ago?"
In that anti-counterfeiting operation organized by the relevant departments, five counterfeiting dens were smashed. Zhao Hongbing said loudly: "One of the counterfeiting dens was reported by me to the anti-counterfeiting company. It was only after that anti-counterfeiting operation that your company found evidence of fraud by the general agent of Fu Province, right? ”
Mr. Thomas hooked his nose and moved, quickly thinking of what had happened only three or four months ago.
"Mr. Thomas, I was involved in that case primarily because a friend of mine was involved in one of the cases.
Sometimes I wonder if your company has known that Mr. Yang Xiang has been doing piracy, but your Huaxia company has always adopted a somewhat tacit attitude? ”
Zhao Hongbing has always believed that when he reported Yang Xiang to Barbari Company, it was more of a form of cooperation with Barbari Company. He wants to reduce the friend's sentence, and the Barbari company wants evidence of Yang Xiang's crime.
"Boss Zhao, what do you mean? If you have something to say, just say it! Thomas's voice seemed to get colder.
"Mr. Thomas, I have checked some information about your company after it entered Huaxia. Over the years, your company has only one office in Magic City, and your company headquarters has not paid much attention to the development of the Chinese market. ”
"When your company opens up the Chinese market, the first thing to rely on is piracy merchants." Zhao Hongbing said affirmatively: "Mr. Thomas, the reason why your brand is an international famous brand in our country is to a certain extent, thanks to all pirates. ”
In the 90s, the Barbari clothing brand was a well-known brand in the United States, but there was no formal * store in China.
At that time, it was precisely because some pirates took a fancy to the foreign brand "Barbarie" that they began to counterfeit the production of this brand, which gradually started the popularity of this brand.
When the real genuine Barpari entered China, they had a laissez-faire attitude towards the production and sale of counterfeits in China.
