Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 404: A man like a Wall Street boss

The entrance to the rental house.

When Shen Hongyi led Jack here, the latter looked at the situation inside and was secretly shocked.

I saw that the long tea table in the middle of the house was full of people. The handsome oriental guy from yesterday was chatting and laughing with a group of businessmen.

One of these people was wearing a blue denim jacket with stars and stripes.

Should he say it or not, Jack prayed wildly in his heart: May Lady Luck have mercy on me and bless these guys from not being able to reach an agreement!

However, about 10 minutes later, everyone around the tea table stood up one after another. The handsome oriental guy smiled broadly, shook hands with the other party one by one, and said:

"We look forward to seeing you all come to our factory. That's it for now. We will discuss the follow-up matters in detail when you arrive in the capital."

"sure."

Jack: "..."

Li Jiankun had noticed him early. After sending the group of merchants out of the door, he turned his head and said with a smile: "Hello, we meet again."

Jack couldn't help but smile, and said with an unnatural expression: "Yes, nice to meet you."

Li Jiankun invited him to sit down at the tea table, washed the cups, poured tea, and did not forget to pour Miss Shen a cup as well.After the latter finished mumbling in one breath, he wiped his lips and said, "I'll go again."

"Take a break, there's no need to be in such a hurry." Li Jiankun looked at her pink feet in sandals, feeling quite distressed.

After a day like this, you won’t get blisters?

"No!"

But Shen Hongyi ran away in a hurry.

Jack looked around and ate a handful of dog food.

He took a deep breath and bravely started talking. After a few pleasantries, he couldn't wait to get to the point.

"Mr. Li, I hope to get Dragon Blade, the exclusive sales agent right in the United States."

"Oh?"

Li Jiankun held the celadon tea cup to his lips, paused, and couldn't help but look at him again.

This guy is actually more valuable than gold.

The collar of the shirt is slightly burred, there is nothing on the wrist, and the finger bones on his right hand are obviously thicker... These details show that he is not a pampered person, his financial resources are quite average, and he still has to participate in labor.

"As you just saw, those merchants are also Americans from a hardware company. They have decided to visit our factory in Beijing for inspection. In fact, yesterday afternoon, I received a group of similar customers, and there is a high probability that they will be the same in the future. There will be."

Li Jiankun put down the tea cup, his eyes blazing, "Please give me a reason to give up on them and hand over the entire US market to you."

Jack hurriedly said: "I will keep your brand."

Li Jiankun shook his head, not satisfied with this answer.

"You must already know why we have not reached an agreement with Daun Fulin Company. This is the bottom line. If the previous batch of customers do not accept it, there will be no subsequent factory visits."

Too curly!

Jack secretly complained in his heart, how come there is no pursuit of this dignified local American company?

"I'm different from them."

You must find differentiation, otherwise you will have no advantage at all.

Jack straightened his attitude and said seriously:

"I guess they just want to earn the profit difference after the Dragon Knife crosses the ocean, but I am different. I am going to re-establish a company, called...'Long Brand Knives'!"

"I will vigorously promote Long Dao. While making profits, I will do my best to increase Long Dao's market awareness and brand value to achieve mutual benefit with you."

Li Jiankun smiled.

That's what interests him.

Can whet his appetite.

"A great reason. But, how can I trust you to keep your promise?"

After all, who can't speak beautiful words?

The United States is thousands of miles away from us, so real-time monitoring is impossible, and building a brand costs money!

To put it bluntly, even if the other party is a visionary and really wants to create a brand, it is still unclear whether he will use the "Dragon Brand".

The two Chinese characters on the back of the knife can be polished off by a factory, which is not a lot of effort.

Jack scratched his head, but this question stopped him.

I couldn't come up with a strong response at the moment.

At this time, Li Jiankun said: "I have an idea."

"Say." Jack's eyes lit up.

Li Jiankun said calmly: "Let's sign a contract and specify the terms in detail, such as what percentage of your American Dragon Tool Company's profit needs to be used every year for brand promotion and building."

"Yes, yes!" Jack grinned, "Good idea."

Li Jiankun glanced at him and said, "Listen to me first."

Jack quickly stopped speaking and motioned for him to continue.

<divclass="contentadv">"What I say below is matter-of-fact and does not involve any offensive purpose. As we all know, your country, the United States, is a paradise for capital, and people with economic problems in many countries will hide there. This illustrates a problem——"

Li Jiankun paused and said, "Even if you don't fulfill the contract, we can't do anything about you. As for us, because we signed an exclusive agency right with you in the United States, we lost other customers and missed development opportunities.

"Therefore, if you want to ensure the normal performance of this contract, first of all, you need to pay us a deposit, which we will keep for the time being."

It's reasonable, isn't it?

However, Jack's eyelids couldn't help but beat a few times.

It was like an old punch hitting his weak spot.

Why is he so unsure of himself when facing other merchants?

Because he has only been in business for a few years, and the funds in his pocket are very limited!

He asked weakly: "How much do you think this deposit is appropriate?"

Li Jiankun raised a hand and said, "I think the tentative price of 50 US dollars is a reasonable price."

Not much, right?

Purchase their dragon knives, but only 2650 sets.

Jack secretly smacked his tongue, please kill me!

His entire net worth is less than $50.

"This...to tell you the truth, is not a small amount for me." Jack smiled coquettishly.

Li Jiankun picked up the teapot and refilled the tea for him, saying, "If you can accept it, I can give you the entire North American market, not just the United States."

Hey!

Jack's eyes widened and he breathed heavily.

Don't underestimate this change. For product dealers, it is equivalent to suddenly expanding the "moat" dozens of times!

This means that in the future, he will be the only dealer in North America without any competitors.

It will infinitely reduce the difficulty of sales and increase profit margins at the same time.

He suddenly felt that the $50 deposit was really not expensive.

Under normal circumstances, the agency fee for a good product is more than this amount.

But the other party didn't mention this at all.

That's because Li Jiankun is really seeking cooperation and wants to make Dragon Blade bigger and stronger.Instead of being like some franchise brands in later generations, the products and operations are lousy and they crazily cut off the franchise fees from the people, one after another.

Jack touched his hands together and dug with his fingers...

The key is, he can't afford so much money!

Li Jiankun was not surprised. He lit a cigarette and handed over the cigarette case. When the other party waved his hand, he said with a smile: "I have another idea."

Dude, you have a lot of ideas.

But this was good news to Jack who was in an awkward situation, and he hurriedly motioned for him to speak.

Li Jiankun's expression remained unchanged, and he pointed at him and said: "You don't have to create a company, I will build it. I will pay for all the expenses, you will be responsible for operating the company, and I will give you a certain share. This way we can work together."

Jack: "..."

I bet you want to be my boss!

Li Jiankun actually had this idea for a long time. He initially wanted Lin Xinjia to set up a company in Hong Kong City.But then I thought that the Hong Kong city market is too small, and high-end kitchenware such as dragon knives will eventually be exported to developed countries in Europe and the United States.

He lacks resources and connections.

The kid opposite him could tell that he was a talent just from the words and scheming he used to attack the little devil yesterday.

Jack was staring at him with goosebumps all over his body.

This is an old silver coin!

This was the first time he encountered such a person in this simple country, which gave him the illusion of facing a Wall Street capital boss.

One set after another.If you are not careful, you will be trapped.

Give me freedom or die!

It was precisely because he didn't want to work for others that he ran away from the United States.

"Can you...can you give me some time to think about it?" Jack looked at the other side and said, "In the meantime, please at least don't hand over the US market to others."

Oh, I'm quite ambitious.

Li Jiankun nodded slightly, "Yes. But only until the end of this month."

Since Longdao Factory is not a Canton Fair exhibitor and does not have the endorsement of the organizer, it is unrealistic to sign an order here. No one is stupid.

All the customers we are currently negotiating with have made one request: to visit the factory and confirm that the factory is backed by an administrative agency.

In this way, they can pay the deposit with confidence.

Li Jiankun arranged the itinerary for the merchants at the end of the month. After all, they still had to stay here for several days.

Jack counted the dates and looked anxious. There was not much time left for him!
