Chapter 60 What a big game of chess
Mrs. Huo and Yang Meilian fled from Sui Jing's house, and Huo Li and Cen Man didn't know about all this. Mrs. Huo and Yang Meilian also tacitly never mentioned each other, Yang Meilian was afraid that Mrs. Huo would blame her for not helping and witnessing Mrs. Huo's deflated appearance. And Mrs. Huo was afraid that Huo Li would know what she was doing against her.
Sui Jing's matter seemed to have kicked off a prelude, and a dense net quietly approached the Huo family.
Huo Li received a reply from the European side, and the other party said that he was very satisfied with the business philosophy of Huo's Group, but hoped that Huo Li could increase the investment amount by 20%. Originally, Huo Li planned to invest 30 million euros, but as soon as the other party's request came out, it meant that Huo's cost was at least half a billion more.
With Huo's strength, this half a billion more will not hurt his muscles and bones, Huo Li's price is at this price, what he cares about is the attitude of the other party. Is it because Ji's increased the investment amount that the other party took advantage of the situation to start the price? If he starts a price war with Ji, it will only be the European group that will profit in the end.
The head of the marketing department sat in the conference room sweating profusely, and he didn't dare to come out. The other party asked for this price increase, and he even wondered if the gang was crazy. When negotiating in Europe, Huo's did not disclose his investment bottom line, but in order to show his sincerity, the budget of 30 million was vaguely revealed to the other party.
How strong does it take to dare to shell out 30 million euros in one go and invest in an almost completely unfamiliar market? No matter how bad it is, everyone follows the rules, determines that they are ready to cooperate, and then talks about the conditions after entering the contract discussion stage.
Now the other party's response means that you increase the price first, and we can discuss. If they agree to the request for a price increase, and the other party continues to raise the threshold, how can we talk about cooperation if they have lost trust with each other?
Huo Li didn't seem to be able to see the anxiety of his subordinates, and calmly touched his chin and thought.
"Send someone to check, you must find out if the other party also gave the same conditions to Ji's." After a while, Huo Li said to the marketing minister who was already scared.
"This, Mr. Huo, this is a trade secret, we"
"Embarrassed? Then you, the head of the marketing department, will be replaced by someone who will not be embarrassed. ”
"Yes, yes, I'll send someone to find out!"
After waiting for his subordinates to go out, Huo Li paced to the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the weather outside with black clouds, he felt that something was wrong, something was wrong, this was the most instinctive instinct of an old hunter who had been hunting in the business world all year round when facing danger.
Cen Man's company carefully studied the plan and found no problems, and Mr. Lei had already signed a promotion contract with the media company for T City.
Therefore, Cen Man informed Huang Lao that he hoped that the children in the interest class would create some oil paintings for the product packaging, and she and Mr. Lei would select the paintings that met the employer's requirements for printing and customization.
The TV station was also contacted, and the children knew that they were going to be on TV, and they were all eager to try, and it happened that the female director who happened to be in charge of this talk show was still the original female director, which surprised Cen Man.
Mrs. Huo returned to Qiu's house as promised, and sure enough, the people in the family persuaded her to accept Sui Jing's mother and son, anyway, when Qiu's father died, the property had been divided clearly, and Sui Jing's mother and son returned to Qiu's house to spit out the money, and it was only Mrs. Huo.
Mrs. Huo went to the banquet alone and had a big quarrel with the Qiu family, but nothing was discussed. Sui Jing stood by the side and watched coldly throughout the whole process, and Sui's mother also had mixed feelings in her heart. Sui Jing told his mother why he had to go against her will, and Sui's mother accepted his explanation. It's just that the scene in front of me is so similar to a few decades ago. At that time, Sui's mother was in the current situation of Mrs. Huo, and as pointed out by Qianfu, there were many difficulties.
The interview program was recorded very smoothly, and the female director told Cen Man that the post-editing would come out soon, and it would be broadcast on TV and online platforms before Cen Man's side finalized the draft, because the show was very popular with the audience, so the film was released in a short time.
Cen Man said that he understood, and Mr. Lei even felt that the sooner the better, so that the effect would be good once the product was packaged and put on the market. In the program, Cen Man not only introduced the daily life of the interest class, but also talked about the cooperation with the company in City B, hoping that there will be more opportunities to participate in product design work in the future, so that children can learn skills and subsidize their families at the same time, the best of both worlds.
Despite the pile-up of work, Huo Li also put a lot of thought into dealing with family affairs. Mrs. Huo and Cen Man's every move is under his control, including Mrs. Huo taking Yang Meilian to the Sui family to ask for the guilt, including Cen Man and Jin Ding Lei Song who took over the product promotion list.
When things go wrong, there must be demons.
Since Sui Jing appeared, the Huo family has fallen into a very strange atmosphere, seemingly everything is calm, but it gives people a feeling of unease.
Huo Li never did anything he was not sure of, so he secretly instructed Lang Jun to investigate Sui Jing's whereabouts, the background of the product company in City B and the media company that recommended Jinding. Lang Jun replied with the message that no abnormalities were found on either side. Sui Jing's account is clean except for his salary. The product company really entrusted the media company to carry out product packaging and publicity, and it also really issued a contract to Jinding.
Lang Jun didn't dare to question the boss's suspicions, but as far as his investigation was concerned, he really didn't find any problems.
"Lang Jun, do you think that the progress of the investigation seems to be too smooth. Have you encountered any obstacles in the process? ”
Lang Jun was stunned.
After Huo Li's reminder, he realized that something was wrong, and the key to the problem was that it was too smooth.
Huo Li remembered the report materials he received in the afternoon.
The marketing minister also didn't know how to find out that the European group had proposed the same price increase conditions to Ji's, and Ji's seemed to be really ready to raise the price. The head of the marketing department guarantees the authenticity and reliability of the source.
Once Ji's wins the competition, it means that Huo's will not only lose the opportunity to develop the European market, but also the whole year's market planning will be disrupted because of the failure of this project.
It seemed that no matter what Huo Li wanted to investigate, all the answers seemed to have been prepared a long time ago, and before he could make efforts to investigate, they would automatically appear in front of him.
One or two things can be said to be a coincidence, and a large list of things, even unrelated to each other, have to be vigilant. If he were an ordinary person, he might not think so much, but Huo Li was not an ordinary person, so he was suspicious.
"Boss, do you need me to continue to investigate?" Lang Jun's back was already soaked in cold sweat.
Huo Li waved his hand, and by now, he was 100% sure that behind these seemingly unrelated things, there must be the same person behind the scenes manipulating, in order to make trouble for the Huo family from different angles, or, it would be more appropriate to make trouble for Huo Li himself.
Family and career, the other party is really comprehensive. Huo Li thought expressionlessly, if he didn't give the other party a chance to perform, he would really waste such a big layout.
As for the black hands behind the scenes, when the play reaches its climax, he is not afraid that the main protagonist will not come out first.
No matter who you are, since you want to play, I will accompany you to the end. Huo Li snuffed out the cigarette between his fingers, and the smoke turned his ready-to-go fierceness into indifference. Lang Jun suddenly felt sympathy for the figure who was hiding in the dark. Except when he first took over the Huo family as a teenager, he hadn't seen Huo Li's resolute look for many years.
The first to go wrong was Cen Man's side. After the program was broadcast, the response was enthusiastic, and many dealers have contacted Mr. Lei to ask about the launch date of the product, and whoever gets the agent on the shelves first will benefit first. The first batch of drawings has also been approved by the employer and sent to the factory for the first batch of production.
At this moment, the media company and the employer in City B jointly sued Cen Man's special education company and Jinding in court. The reason was that Cen Man and Mr. Lei's company claimed that there was a cooperative relationship between the two parties without permission, which infringed on their interests.
The other party claimed that the promotion contract signed by Cen Man and Mr. Lei did not give them the terms to publicize the product before it was launched, so the broadcast of the deaf-mute children's talk show and the cooperation matters mentioned in the program were commercial leaks and infringements. Therefore, the special education company and Jinding Media Company must compensate them for their losses in accordance with the breach of contract, and the contract will be terminated immediately.
Immediately afterwards, Sui Jing also filed a complaint accusing the Qiu family of abandonment, demanding that his property inheritance be recovered in accordance with legal procedures. Sui Jing contacted the reporter at the same time to tell the past one by one.
In an instant, the headlines of major newspapers hyped up the report on the topic of the Huo family's wife competing for the family property and ruthlessly preventing her half-brother from returning to the Qiu family, and the Qiu family, which had been low-key and dormant for a long time, was also pushed to the forefront of public opinion.
When the court summons was sent to the Huo family's mansion, Mrs. Huo looked at the thin paper in her hand tremblingly and shouted: "How dare he!" "My eyes went dark, I fainted, and I was taken to the hospital.
In the end, it was the turn of the Huo Group.
The European consortium held a press conference to announce that it had officially reached a cooperative relationship with the Ji Group in country C, and that a new development company would be established at the end of the year, and Ji would become one of the shareholders of the group and would appoint personnel to participate in all business activities in Europe.
As soon as the press conference was made public, it caused an uproar in the business community, for no other reason, the European consortium openly stated at the press conference that it had contacted Huo's Group before, and finally chose Ji because some differences could not form a unified opinion. As soon as the news came out, Huo's stock price was immediately shaken, and the board of directors also urgently held an internal meeting to question Huo Li's decision.
Negative news emerges in an endless stream, whether it is a family matter or a business matter, Huo Li is tormented on the fire.
The Huo family became a topic of discussion after tea and dinner overnight, Huo was in a dilemma both internally and externally, and the purpose of the people behind the scenes was achieved. Unless Huo Li has the ability to reach the sky, he will also make up for the east wall and the west wall.
