Chapter 63: Retreat to a fair starting point and get the opportunity for development
Before meeting Mr. Fürst, Aimee put herself in her shoes: if I were him, why would I meet this person and what would I want to know about her? To meet this person, it must be to develop the Chinese market and see if she has the potential to bring growth; If you want to know how old she is, what she looks like, what work experience, whether she is married, whether she has children, what does her husband do, what is her idea of being virtuous now, what is her plan for the development of the company, and whether she has the ability to bring growth points to Wenbo......
After Aimee sorted out all these questions, she made a PPT to introduce her, with a photo of her on it, writing her age, how old her children are, the company she worked for, and the time she founded Huanzhong, she sent this PPT to Jay, and said to him, the boss will be satisfied when he sees the preparation you made in advance, and Jay understands. Her purpose is to give Mr. Fürst an impression of her appearance and basic situation, so as to create a feeling of having seen her before, and to avoid the other party being extremely disappointed when he is unprepared for his appearance.
Aimee checked a lot of information, but couldn't find a photo of Mr. Fürst, it seems that he was really mysterious and low-key before. Cordula secretly told Aimee that she had only met Mr. Fürst once, and that in the entire Wenbo Group, the big boss was a god-like being, and everyone was excited to have the opportunity to meet him. It is a great honor for Aimee to have the opportunity to be specially arranged by the big boss for a private meeting!
Meet at the office of Hong Kong Harbour City. Wenbo Hong Kong Company is very magnificent, in such a high-end place where every inch of land is valuable, with a full two-story exhibition hall and offices, and the reception area behind the front desk, which happens to be an invincible sea view, telling the atmosphere and strength of Wenbo.
The PPT provided by Jay to the boss was really praised by the big boss, and he was called to accompany the big boss and Aimee to a meeting. Despite having seen the photos, Mr. Fürst was struck by Aimee's youth, and if it hadn't been written that she was the mother of a three-year-old boy, he would have thought she was still a college student. Mr. Fürst started with why Aimee made toys, and then asked her why she invested in advertising and expanding brand awareness...... Mr. Fürst was surprised by Aimee's answer to each question, saying things he had never heard or thought about before.
"In this way, we will leave it all to you in the Chinese market!" Mr. Fürst said briskly.
"Boss, we already have a company in China that has been a general agent for ten years." Jay reminded in a whisper.
"It's nothing, then let them not do it, anyway, it's almost the same whether they do it or not, our Wenbo is not well-known in China at all, so it's better to give it to Aimee." Mr. Fürst said briskly.
Aimee was feeling the lucky fairy scattering flowers on top of her head, only to spot Jay's foot gently kicking her under the conference table. She looked at Jay suspiciously, and Jay whispered in Cantonese: "No, the boss is happy to say this, and he doesn't care when he turns around, so how can I explain to Baodeli?" You can't do that, it's too hasty! ”
Aimee understood: if I accept to replace Portori and Jay is not easy to explain, it will be Jay who will deal with me in the future, and if he is not happy, I will not be happy, and I have to give him time to transition. "Then do you think it is feasible for the two of us to do the Wenbo China market at the same time?" She asked Jay softly. Jay nodded.
"Mr. Fürst, I am very grateful for your appreciation of me and the opportunity. Wenbo already has a partner in the Chinese market, cancel their distribution rights, replace me, can not add points to Wenbo, and even reduce points in the short term. Then why don't you let the two of us do it at the same time, and everyone will work together. ”
"This is not good, the Chinese market must not be done by two at the same time, and when the time comes, it will be chaotic, or one will do it. It's up to you, you don't have to think about Baodeli, anyway, they haven't done anything in the past ten years. "Mr. Fürst is really straightforward and unflinching.
"Then give the two of us a year, do it at the same time, whoever does it well, the market will be given to whoever does it a year later, so that it will be fair to both of them, and the benefits of Wenbo will be maximized." Aimee has another idea.
"No, since sooner or later it will all be done by one family, why waste a year? I think you can, you just start right, don't think about Baodeli, Baodeli problem, let Jay solve it. Mr. Fürst remains firm.
Jay's expression was very embarrassed, and secretly gave Aimee a look, Aimee understood that Jay couldn't accept letting Huanzhong replace Baodeli at this moment.
"Mr. Fürst, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for trusting me so much. However, Baodeli and Wenbo have been cooperating for ten years, and the first time you met and communicated with me, you decided to give up Baodeli and cooperate with me on the spot, so should I also worry that one day, you will talk to another company, and immediately give up cooperation with me? So, Mr. Fürst, can you give me and Portelli a fair starting point? We do it for a year at the same time, and whoever does well will be given to whoever is in this market. ”
Mr. Fürst had no choice but to smile and say: "Since you say so, I have no way to refuse your proposal: then I agree, let you and Baodeli work at the same time for a year, and after a year, whoever has better performance will be handed over to whoever has better performance." ”
Jay finally breathed a sigh of relief and secretly made a fist hug gesture of thanks to Aimee.
Mr. Fürst asked Aimee, "What do you most want to do right now?" ”
Aimee replied without hesitation: "The most important thing I want to do when opening a store is to keep opening our own toy stores one after another." In China, the toy industry is too lacking in sales channels, and every time I open an additional one, I am building one more billboard and accumulating one more sales outlet for the company, and more and more chain toy stores will grow in value over time. ”
"How much does it cost you to open a toy store now?" Mr. Fürst asked curiously.
"I am now opening relatively small stores, with little investment, about 250,000 to 300,000 yuan per store." Aimee answered honestly.
"Then I'll give you 500,000 yuan, can you open two stores for me within two months?" Mr. Fürst asked.
"Mr. Fürst, of course!" Aimee is confident.
"Okay, your company will receive 500,000 yuan tomorrow, and in two months, I will arrange a time to come to Shanghai to see these two stores." Mr. Fürst really did what he said, and immediately asked Aimee to provide the company's account information, and said to Aimee with great interest: "We'll see you in Shanghai in two months!" ”
In the afternoon, Aimee had not even finished visiting the exhibition hall when he received a notice of arrival from the financial department.
Although Aimee was indeed confident when she said that she could open two stores in two months, what she did not expect was that Mr. Fürst would give her 500,000 yuan so happily. When I came to Hong Kong, I suddenly owed a sum of money to the boss of Wenbo, what kind of thing is this?
