021 Victoria's Secret Part II
Li Xiaofeng's proposal Victoria wanted to reject it outright, in her opinion, someone didn't know how to run a business at all, and she didn't have any connections in Petrograd that could help her, so she should have the lion's share of it. She was already very generous to be able to give the other party a tenth of the shares.
But the reality makes Victoria have no choice, although she has funds and connections, but there is no source. And the supply of goods is very critical, after all, this is the key to whether the business can be carried out.
So it's completely impossible to refuse in one bite, if he rejects the other party's suggestion, the other party will lose nothing, and he can find someone similar to her to cooperate. Victoria knew very well that her relationship in Petrograd was like that, there were many people who were stronger than her, and the other party had a choice. But it was impossible for Victoria to accept the proposal in its entirety, so she had to stick to a bottom line: "Forty-six shares, I must control!" ”
Li Xiaofeng thought about it and felt that it was acceptable, in fact, he was not much interested in selling luxury goods, and the reason why he proposed cooperation was nothing more than to take a fancy to Victoria's ability to move at the top, although this ability was very nonsense and would soon become invalid, but after all, he did not have it now. So it doesn't matter at all to him what holding or not holding.
Of course, this does not mean that he does not have conditions: "It's okay to divide it into four or six parts, but you have to help me register a company!" ”
Victoria's misunderstanding and asked, "What company!" ”
"ExecutiveOutes, or EO for short."
Victoria scoffed: "This is the clothing brand you came up with?" The result of the execution, to be honest the name is terrible! ”
Her face changed when she said this, and she threatened: "Don't you think that as the chairman and general manager of the new company, the naming right should belong to me?" ”
Li Xiaofeng knew that the eldest lady had misunderstood, but the tone of her voice still made him very unhappy: "First of all, you are neither the chairman nor the general manager now, and secondly, this company has nothing to do with you, and it belongs to my sole proprietorship." As for the company that sells your clothes, I'm not interested! ”
Victoria's vigilance did not drop at all, and she asked relentlessly, "Then what kind of company is this EO?" What kind of business do you run? ”
Li Xiaofeng said angrily: "What does it have to do with you?" ”
"It has nothing to do with me, are you really stupid or fake stupid?" Victoria sneered, "If you don't tell me what the business is, how can I help you register?" ”
Li Xiaofeng thought about it and seemed to be the same thing, so he said: "It mainly accepts security business, that is, a security company!" ”
"Security company?" Victoria's eyes rolled, and she suddenly became interested, "Now that the world is so chaotic, it seems good to have a security company." Those rich people are most afraid of death...... I didn't expect you to be quite discerning! That's good, even if I take care of you, I will also control this company! ”
Li Xiaofeng glanced at her, and said angrily: "Don't even think about this, you don't have to interfere!" ”
Victoria threatened: "Why did Miss Ben help you register!" ”
Li Xiaofeng snorted coldly: "If you don't help, you won't help, but you'd better think clearly, the clothing business doesn't have your share!" ”
"You!" Victoria was angry, the other party really held her sore foot, and she had no choice but to back down temporarily. Of course, it was only temporary, she felt that she still had a chance to get involved in EO, after all, the security business was more difficult to do than clothing, and she believed that the other party would definitely not be able to open up the situation.
She pretended to sigh, "Cut! When I was rare for your broken company. Miss Ben is completely kind, I didn't expect you to appreciate it! ”
Li Xiaofeng didn't bother to talk to this eldest lady, in fact, his conditions haven't been mentioned yet!
"I want you to help me find a plot of land on the outskirts of Petrograd, preferably for three thousand people!" …,
Victoria exclaimed, "How is this possible, such a large piece of land, do you know how much it costs!" ”
Li Xiaofeng thought for a while and said, "If there is a problem with buying it, you can also rent it!" ”
Victoria thinks it's pretty much the same, but she also said, "It's okay to rent, but you have to pay the rent yourself!" ”
"Of course!" Li Xiaofeng didn't think it was expensive to rent land in the suburbs, so he agreed.
"So. Now it's time to move on to the clothing business! Victoria was afraid that Li Xiaofeng would put forward new conditions, so she quickly turned the topic back, "Now it's time for us to clarify the responsibilities of each in the company!" ”
Li Xiaofeng didn't think about developing in this industry at all, and said directly: "I don't have any interest in this, how you want to run is your business, the only thing I can do is to supply you, and then wait for the money, I don't care about the rest!" ”
"Yes!" Victoria immediately hit the snake and agreed with the stick, she wished that the other party would not care, "Then I need to clarify the supply channel!" lest you leave it alone in the future and let all my investments go to waste! ”
Li Xiaofeng sneered: "What I just said is very clear, business is your business, but you don't have to inquire about the supply channels!" It's my business! ”
"How can this be!" Victoria immediately emphasized, "This is me holding the holding!" I have to know this kind of thing! ”
"If you want to know the way, just throw me aside and do it alone!" Li Xiaofeng's words pierced Victoria's intentions.
Victoria's face suddenly turned red, she did have this thought, and she couldn't let her admit that it was impossible: "How could it be! You just told me, you won't be less than the company's shares! ”
Li Xiaofeng said with a smile: "Except for the supply channel, the company is not worth a dime!" When the time comes, it's a big deal for you to register a new company, do you want me to make it clear? ”
Victoria's face was even more ugly, she didn't expect her careful thinking to be guessed thoroughly by the other party, and immediately exclaimed: "But you control the supply channel alone, what if you want to get rid of me and do it alone?" I have to make a guarantee! ”
Li Xiaofeng thought about it, and the other party's worries were not unreasonable, although this was more like a disguised condition, but he still didn't mind giving the other party a guarantee: "Then we can sign a supplementary agreement stipulating that my clothing can only be sold by your company within five years, how about it?" ”
Victoria was furious: "It's only five years for you! This is grossly unfair to me! In five years, you want to get rid of me and go it alone! ”
Li Xiaofeng was really impatient: "It's a big deal that the agreement states that after five years, under the same conditions, you will have priority!" “
"That's pretty much it!" Victoria said puffingly.
To be honest, the two don't look like they're cooperating, but rather like the relationship between a manufacturer and a retailer. But at this time, Victoria didn't realize it, or she already realized it, but she thought it was beneficial to her, and pretended not to know.
It doesn't matter if you know the way, anyway, the next thing is simple, both sides just need to improve the details, of course, this is indispensable bargaining, but this is no longer the point. The focus is on what the new company is called and what the specific business direction is.
"We can't just sell one style of clothes, that's too monotonous!" "We have to flesh out our products, don't tell me you only have one product from your supply channel!" ”
There are so many products that you can't imagine, I'm afraid you won't be able to sell them! Li Xiaofeng slandered in his heart, but he also agreed with the other party's opinion, "There are a lot of products, it depends on what you need...... There are all kinds of clothing, leather goods, cosmetics, perfumes, stockings ......"
"Wait! What are stockings? Victoria asked suddenly.
Aren't there stockings yet? …,
Li Xiaofeng was a little puzzled in his heart, he had no memory of when stockings were invented, so he immediately asked, "You haven't heard of stockings?" ”
Victoria said categorically: "Never heard of it!" You're not lying to me, are you? ”
"What am I lying to you for!" I can't say it, Li Xiaofeng hurriedly bought a pair of stockings from the cornucopia and handed them over.
"These are stockings?" Victoria was skeptical, but when she went next door to change into stockings, she immediately threw all her suspicions out of the clouds, and shouted excitedly, "These stockings are so good!" It's softer and smoother than velvet, so it's so comfortable! How much is a pair of these stockings? ”
A few dollars cheaper, a few hundred dollars more expensive. Of course, this is the price of later generations, specifically exchanged with fairy power, a little fairy power can be exchanged for a hundred pairs of the cheapest, like the kind worn by Victoria on her legs, it belongs to the most expensive, a little fairy power a pair, if you estimate the value of a little fairy power to exchange for a gram of gold, the cheapest stockings, a hundred pairs in this era is about 0.73 US dollars, a pair is about 0.5 cents a little more, it can be said that it is quite cheap.
"You're not going to do business!" Victoria suddenly roared, "The cheapest ones will sell for at least a dollar a pair!" Ha Luha, that's nearly two thousand times the profit! What a genius I'm a genius! ”
Li Xiaofeng has no opinion on this, anyway, it doesn't cost him anything, the more expensive he sells, the happier he is, of course, the premise is that he can sell it.
"I want to order five hundred pairs of these stockings...... No! 5,000 pairs! Preferably 50,000 pairs! I'm going to put all the women of Russia in stockings! Victoria was so excited that she walked around, snowballing up the supply, completely ignoring the fact that someone was rolling her eyes on the side. Fortunately, this woman has not completely gone crazy yet, and she has no intention of letting every woman in the world buy her stockings
Rao is like this, Li Xiaofeng took a lot of effort to pull Victoria back in a state of excitement. He asked, "Have you thought of the company's logo?" ”
Victoria frowned, to be honest, her brain was completely occupied by high "profits" now, and she couldn't get her brain cells out to think about this kind of problem. said five or six names in a row, all of which were below the level, not to mention that Li Xiaofeng was not satisfied, but she herself felt that it was too cheesy.
"What do you think?" Victoria, who couldn't think of a good name, had to kick the ball back.
In terms of real cultural accomplishment and the level of naming, Li Xiaofeng is a few streets away from Victoria, after all, one is a little fart people, and the other is a real famous lady, although this lady is also a little unworthy of the name.
However, Li Xiaofeng also has an advantage, and he can't stand that this guy has more than a hundred years of experience to use, and it is too tolerating to want a copycat. The only thing that makes this guy scratch his head is which name is better.
There were too many high-end brands in later generations, and a certain man sighed helplessly, it was too difficult for him to choose, and it took him a long time to make up his mind, and he suggested with a smile: "What do you think of the name Victoria's Secret?" ”
