Chapter 647 Exchange
Faced with the extremely tempting conditions offered by Chen Qiaoshan, Jinxi Town was obviously shaken, but when he saw the specific cooperation agreement, he couldn't sit still.
According to the cooperation plan given by Chen Qiaoshan, Kangsheng accounts for 80% of the equity in the new joint venture, while Lynk & Cott only has 20% left. This one alone cannot be accepted by Jinxi Town.
"20%? Are you really not kidding?" The Korean seemed to be humiliated, with a hint of anger in his tone.
Faced with this situation, Chen Qiaoshan was not in a hurry to explain and negotiate. No matter what the opponent responded, he didn't have to take it too seriously.
After the scene calmed down a little, he said: "President Kim, there is a difference between China and South Korea. Our goal is to be the first in the industry. With the market share of the mainland, I think even if the profit share of 10% will exceed the total profit of Lynk & Cott headquarters."
"If you don't cooperate with Kangsheng, Lynkate may not be able to be the first in the industry." Jinxi Town immediately refuted. Even though he admitted in his heart what Chen Qiaoshan said was reasonable, he would not surrender easily. In the current interests, there must be no concessions that should be made.
Chen Qiaoshan was not upset and asked with a smile: "President Jin, if it weren't for cooperation with Kangsheng, whether your company can make profits in China in the next few years will be a problem?"
Jinxizhen was silent because he had no room for refutation.
Kangsheng's channel advantages are too important, just like Chen Qiaoshan chose to cooperate with UBS. Without UBS, he would not be able to get the money back to the mainland market, but the effect was much worse.
When Delong was facing a collapse, Morgan Stanley only bought 300,000 shares of old-man-man stocks, and the investment was limited, but the Delong stocks stopped falling and rose completely. They were also channel merchants. If they were replaced by CICC or CITIC, they would not dare to say that they were useless, but they would definitely not reach this point. This is the advantage of the channel. Going further, in the next bull market, even if the bottom was successful, they would inevitably be criticized for "cutting leeks". Foreign capital is much safer. After a round of funds flows, they will eventually return to the international market. As long as Chen Qiaoshan is willing, he can go without a trace. Even domestic regulatory authorities cannot find him. This is also the advantage of channel merchants.
Similarly, in the online advertising market, Kangsheng naturally has channel advantages.
With more than 100,000 small and medium-sized webmasters as support, including Yahoo and Baidu, they have to put aside their posture and discuss cooperation. It is precisely based on the cooperation with Kangsheng that Lynk & Cott overcomes the shortcomings of its innate advantages and gains a foothold in the Chinese market in one fell swoop.
Seeing that the other party was silent, Chen Qiaoshan continued: "President Jin, Lynk & Cote's shortcomings are obvious, their business model is single, they have not entered the CPA advertising market, and there are cultural differences between China and South Korea. Without local supporters, it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in the Chinese market."
Anyway, the other party couldn't tell the truth. Chen Qiaoshan didn't mind exaggerating a few words. After saying a few words, he changed the subject, "Of course, the conditions are not impossible to discuss. Since it is cooperation, Kang Sheng is still very sincere."
Jinxi Town's face relaxed a little. Since it was a negotiation, both sides had to leave room.
Without asking the other party, Chen Qiaoshan said directly: "The shareholding remains unchanged, but Kangsheng can give up Discuz's agency rights in South Korea."
Jinxizhen hesitated, and he understood that this was the exchange of interests.
As a partner, he certainly knew Kangsheng's background. If he could obtain agency rights, it would be profitable, but it was limited to the Korean market, which was certainly not enough to make up for Lynkor's losses in China. After thinking for a long time, he spoke: "Mr. Chen, Lynkor has a smooth channel in Asian countries and European and American markets. Maybe we can talk about it again?"
There is no doubt that Chen Qiaoshan's goal has been achieved.
It is definitely profitable for Lynk & Cott, and there is no loss for Kang Sheng. Instead of trying hard to promote, it is better to use the mature agent. Tuo Xiaoxue couldn't help but glance at Chen Qiaoshan. Before coming, she didn't think that things could be discussed at all. Now it seems that the problem should not be big.
Although there is a consensus on the overall plan, it is definitely not possible to negotiate in a short while when it comes to the specific distribution of interests.
The afternoon tea at Peninsula Hotel is also divided into time periods. It was already past five o'clock and the agreement was still not finally reached, but it is obviously not suitable to continue.
Chen Qiaoshan suggested: "President Jin, the Felix restaurant in this hotel is very good. Why not let's go for a simple meal together and talk while eating?"
"Mr. Chen, I'm really sorry, I'm afraid I have to find another opportunity." Jinxi Town looked at the watch and said a little apologetically: "The company has some problems. I will rush back to China tonight. The plane at 7 o'clock will set off soon. As for the specific cooperation plan, what about I'll go to Yanjing next week to have an interview?"
"Of course there is no problem, so let's just say that." The general framework has been finalized, and the rest are all some details, which can be left to the people below for negotiation. Chen Qiaoshan didn't want to worry too much.
…………
After seeing off Jinxi Town, Chen Qiaoshan did not leave, but took Tuo Xiaoxue to the Felix restaurant on the 28th floor. He had come and didn't invite the guests, so he wouldn't feel wronged.
"Didn't it mean that Peninsula Hotel has a century-old history? The lobby is quite atmosphere, why does it feel quite average here?" When he entered the restaurant, Tuo Xiaoxue couldn't help asking.
Chen Qiaoshan said: "The seven floors in front are the main building of the hotel. This is a newly built wing in the 1990s. In terms of luxury, it may not be better than Marriott. If you don't mind the trouble, it's OK to move here and stay for one night."
Peninsula Hotel is known as the most luxurious hotel in Hong Kong. In Chen Qiaoshan's opinion, it is just average. There must be a historical atmosphere. However, in terms of luxury alone, it may not be as good as some five-star hotels in later generations. The service industry iterates too quickly. Although it is only a ten-year difference between the two, fashion and aesthetics are almost two eras.
"Forget it, there is no need to make trouble." Tuo Xiaoxue was still very sensible. She was just an assistant. Even if the boss valued her, she had no room for her to do so. Thinking of the next schedule, she asked again: "When will we go back to Yanjing? Do I need me to book a plane ticket first?"
"I can't settle it yet, let's talk about it later."
Tuo Xiaoxue knew most of Chen Qiaoshan’s itinerary. She didn’t remember any to-dos in Hong Kong, so she asked: “UBS has agreed and Lynk & Cutter’s boss has also seen it. What else should I stay in Hong Kong?”
Chen Qiaoshan did not answer directly, but asked: "Are there any arrangements for the evening? Why don't you go to Lan Kwai Fong with me?"
"Lan Kwai Fong?" When she heard this location, Tuo Xiaoxue looked defensive. Although she came to Hong Kong for the first time, she also knew about Lan Kwai Fong. Among all kinds of Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, it is the place with the highest appearance rate.
"What are you thinking about? It's just an ordinary bar, you're scared." Although Chen Qiaoshan didn't drink much, he was often dragged by James to the bar to relax with him when he was intern at Goldman Sachs. "Lan Kwai Fong is just a bar street on a gentle slope near the Central Financial Center. Ninety percent of the customers are nearby financial dogs. If you want to talk about it, it's not too different from the bars near Wudaokou."
"Really or not?" Tuo Xiaoxue was a little surprised. Although she had never been to the bar in Wudaokou, she had also heard of it. Due to the relationship between the language university, there were a lot of foreigners in Wudaokou, especially many Korean sticks, which were found in later generations, so naturally there will be no missing in this era.
Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "When did I lied to you?"
Tuo Xiaoxue was quite relieved about Chen Qiaoshan's character. Although she was not sure about the other party's purpose, she had nothing to worry about. She said, "Okay, I'll go with you to see it in the evening."
After thinking about it, she smiled and reminded: "Xiao Wu called me to ask about your itinerary in the afternoon. Don't say that I didn't remind you. She will definitely cause trouble for you when she turns back."
Chen Qiaoshan had a headache. After all, Xiao Wu had just changed into a new environment, so it was really unreasonable to throw her in Yanjing alone. Thinking of this, he told him: "Let's do this, I'll give you half a day off tomorrow morning. I finally came to Hong Kong. You can go around and help you pick more gifts by the way, and don't be too expensive. Just pick more gadgets that girls like."
Although Xiao Wu has all kinds of problems, he has an advantage, which is that he is easy to support. As long as she likes her, regardless of the quality of the gift, even if she is just a new style of headline, she can be happy for a long time. As for the brand, in the eyes of that girl, the five-digit Jaeger-LeCoultre watch may not be comparable to the pink electronic watch that Chen Weiguo bought for her. Of course, she already has a sense of territory, and Chen Xi and Chen Wan have it. She must not be missing. Even if she doesn't like it, Chen Lao Er can't be missing her.
"Okay." Tuo Xiaoxue certainly would not refuse such an arrangement. This time, she came to Hong Kong, except for following Xu Xiaoyu out for a walk the night before, she did not have any extra free time and finally came here. Although she couldn't afford it, it was always okay to help her boss buy and buy, and she could also go around, just treat it as a travel benefit.
"By the way, don't you drink alcohol normally? Why did you think of going to the bar?" Tuo Xiaoxueqi said.
"I have an appointment with Elliott and I have something to talk about."
There is nothing to say about Tuo Xiaoxue.
It was Elliott's proposal to go to Lan Kwai Fong. It was a bit strange to promote the mountaintop villa before. Chen Qiaoshan did not give a reply on the spot. He guessed that the answer might be revealed tonight.
There were some unexpected situations two days ago, and I worked overtime continuously and didn’t have the energy to write. I took a break today and added a few more chapters. I tentatively set three chapters. This is the first chapter.
Chapter completed!
