Chapter 302 Calculation
Jinfeng Business Building, Dongchen Co., Ltd. office.
Xu Chen hung up the phone call from coach Cheng Hong, looking obviously unhappy.
The first model of Chenfeng Bing Dynamics is about to be promoted. It would be really disgusting if An Jinxiong got stuck at this time.
The most important thing is that this matter may never end.
Last time I was in Osaka, I briefly met An Jinxiong.
He has a square face, wears gold-rimmed glasses, and has a kind face. He seems to be very communicative and has a good temper.
But Xu Chen has seen many such people in his previous life, especially within the system. The more superficial they are, the more difficult they may be to deal with.
Xu Chen put aside his slightly depressed subjective mood and secretly thought about countermeasures.
After all, you can't give in at will, otherwise there will be more trouble waiting later.
After all, in addition to "Morning Wind Ice Power", there is also "Burning Ice Sports" to work on.
If "Ran Bing Sports" An Jinxiong also comes to interfere, he and Xie Bingran may be cut off from this business line. This is something Xu Chen will never allow to happen.
There is no problem with Xu Chen's contract, and Xie Bingran is definitely on his side.
The only thing that needs to be solved is An Jinxiong...
Just as Xu Chen was thinking to himself, QQ flashed on the computer screen.
It was Sun Amy who sent several drafts of the Kunlun Mountain mineral water level poster, which was also to be sent to Nie Fei for proposal after the National Day.
[Boss, I have finished revising the first version of these drafts. Can you see if there are any problems...]
Xu Chen opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but praise Teacher Amy's professional ability.
Amy Sun is really nothing to say in terms of her business capabilities in creative design.
The key is to have a flexible mind and basically be able to understand everything at once.
There is nothing wrong with these drafts. They are just creative drafts of flat posters, and they do not need to be too detailed.
[This is no problem, thank you, Teacher Amy.
After the National Day, we contacted the customer and held a conference call.
We will probably have to communicate with Brother Bing about the shooting of this set of material later...]
【OK! Then I'll go and set up the studio first, and I'll be shooting prototype cars tomorrow. 】
……
Xu Chen looked at these pictures of Kunlun Mountain mineral water and remembered something he had suspected a few days ago.
He flipped through QQ and found the previous chat records with Chen Xinyi of Jiaduobao Marketing Department.
Then I found a news link from it.
"Herbal tea brand Wanglaoshun and the national track and field team signed a special promotion cooperation..."
The press release was accompanied by a photo of the signing ceremony, which showed An Jinxiong and Jiaduobao's boss Chen Jinru.
Regarding this cooperation, Xu Chen tested it out from Chen Xinyi, and it was Chen Jinru and An Jinxiong who directly signed the contract. It only took a short time to agree on the terms and promote the signing.
The process is even faster than the endorsement contract between Kunlun Mountain and Xie Bingran.
Xu Chen had doubted at that time whether there would be something fishy about the cooperation promoted by Chen Jinru and An Jinxiong?
In the previous life, Jiaduobao and Guangzhou Pharmaceutical fought a protracted legal battle over the trademark "Wanglaoshun".
In the end, it was revealed that Jiaduobao secretly bribed the general manager of Guangzhou Pharmaceutical, which eventually led to Jiaduobao losing its "Wang Laoshun" trademark.
This matter is not complicated.
The trademark "Wanglaoshun" has always been in the hands of Guangzhou Pharmaceutical. Jiaduobao obtained the right to use the trademark in the 1990s until 2010.
Later, Jiaduobao signed a supplementary agreement with Guangzhou Pharmaceutical, extending the use rights beyond 2020.
During the process of signing this supplementary agreement, the boss of Jiaduobao had some secret transactions with the general manager of Guangzhou Pharmaceutical, and finally signed an extended supplementary agreement at a very low price.
Later, the value of the "Wang Laoshun" trademark exceeded at least 100 billion, and the original extension agreement obviously sold the "Wang Laoshun" trademark at a low price.
It cannot withstand investigation...
Everyone is path dependent.
If such tricky private operations are Chen Jinru's routine, then Xu Chen has to wonder if there will be problems with the cooperation promoted by Chen Jinru and An Jinxiong?
The incredible thing on the table is that this cooperation was promoted too quickly and too smoothly...
And if there is really a problem and the matter can be exposed, An Jinxiong will be "nothing".
Then the dilemma Xu Chen faced now would disappear.
Xu Chen still trusts coach Cheng Hong.
This is based on previous contacts and Xie Bingran's trust in Cheng Hong.
Cheng Hong generally trusts Li Yue, so generally speaking, Xu Chen can also trust Li Yue.
With An Jinxiong gone and Li Yue taking over, Xu Chen now has an extra "protector" on his side.
Of course, this process also requires some subtle communication with Director Li Yue.
So how to verify and expose An Jinxiong’s problems?
……
Things are all connected, like dominoes.
Xu Chen is still not sure whether there is really a problem with the cooperation between An Jinxiong and Chen Jinru.
But Xu Chen can be sure that there must be problems with the extension of the "Wang Laoshun" trademark.
But according to the timeline of the previous life, this problem would have to wait three or four years before it would erupt.
But if this incident breaks out deliberately in advance, it will also expose Chen Jinru's problems.
Then with a little reminder and promotion, the national team and the general sports situation will definitely investigate the cooperation involving Chen Jinru and Jiaduobao...
Once An Jinxiong and Chen Jinru hook up, they will most likely be implicated.
And if An Jinxiong really had a problem, Xu Chen would reveal the matter from a secret place, which could be regarded as helping the General Administration to eradicate the internal moth.
Of course, by the way, it also solved the trouble that I was about to face.
……
Xu Chen calculated again and had a rough idea of the operation path in his mind.
First of all, we still need to confirm the cooperation between An Jinxiong and Chen Jinru...
He thought for a while and sent a message directly to coach Cheng Hong:
[Director Cheng, I have another question to ask.
I also have other clients here who want to discuss cooperation with the national track and field team.
The cooperation between Wang Laoshun and the track and field team has been officially announced. Can I first ask about the cost of the cooperation?
It can also be used as a reference for my customers...】
[I really don’t know this yet. I’ll tell Director Li Yue and ask him to contact you directly! 】
[Okay, thank you Cheng for your guidance! 】
……
Xu Chen got up and wandered around for a while, and sure enough he received a call from Director Li Yue.
Li Yue was very polite, and both parties exchanged pleasantries.
"Teacher Xu Chen, do you have any clients here that you can introduce?"
It was obvious that he thought Xu Chen was here to send "financier father" again, and he looked very excited.
Xu Chen: “We at Dongchen Advertising have two other clients.
We were talking about projects two days ago, and they were also interested in cooperation with the national team.
But they are all small and medium-sized enterprises and they are worried that the cost will be too high, so they asked me to ask in private first. ”
Li Yue smiled and said:
"The cooperation of our national track and field team depends on the specific cooperation period and rights.
According to the two-year cooperation signing period, depending on the different cooperation rights, the current opening fee is about 8 million, and the upper limit may be 16 million...
Of course, it was introduced by Teacher Xu Chen. The specific benefits and fees can still be discussed in detail. ”
Xu Chen thought for a while and said tentatively:
"Is it so expensive? I heard feedback from Jiaduobao that the cooperation between Wang Laoshun and the track and field team is quite cost-effective, right?"
This is naturally a cliche, and it is also the core purpose of Xu Chen's communication.
Li Yue was obviously unprepared and replied directly:
"Wang Laoshun's cooperation cannot be used as a reference.
That was the cooperation directly promoted by Mr. Chen from Jiaduobao and our Director An.
Director An arranged a framework cooperation similar to that of a ‘national brand’, so the cost was less than two million.
This framework cooperation was also applied for by Director An himself, and other brands cannot get it..."
Xu Chen: "Less than two million? This is indeed a very low price...
I remember reading the press release two days ago. It seemed that this joint promotion was signed for ten years? ”
Li Yue: "Yes, how about calling it 'framework cooperation'...
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
We, Director An, are very capable and dare to sign such an agreement directly. ”
When he said the last sentence, Li Yue couldn't help but reveal a hint of "yin and yang".
Xu Chen couldn't help but feel funny in his heart.
Things seem to have become clear that there is probably a problem in this cooperation.
The ten-year cooperation with the national track and field team actually cost less than two million. From a purely commercial perspective, this is really incredible.
According to what Li Yue just said, starting every two years at eight million, then ten years would be a standard fee of 40 million, but it takes less than two million to win it. It is really a bargain.
If Xu Chen remembered correctly, when the "Wang Laoshun" trademark was extended in his previous life, the boss of Jiaduobao probably secretly stuffed two to three million Hong Kong dollars into it and gave it to the general manager of Guangzhou Pharmaceutical.
With only a few million, I got a ten-year trademark extension...
Similar to each other, there are traces to follow.
Xu Chen had already asked what he wanted to ask, so he said:
"Okay, thank you, Director Li.
I have an idea here and will communicate with the two customers first. ”
Li Yue: "Okay, Teacher Xu Chen, tell me if there's anything going on here!
I am also very lacking in cooperation projects here! ”
……
After hanging up the phone, Xu Chen made secret calculations.
Based on various circumstances, it is estimated that 70% to 80% of An Jinxiong and Chen Jinru have problems.
The next plan is to find a way to break through the trademark issue of "Wang Laoshun" and let this matter break out in advance.
Then, with Chen Jinru being investigated, he would try to find a way to push the General Administration of Sports to pay attention to An Jinxiong's project...
But how to find out about "Wang Laoshun" still needs to be pondered and looked for clues.
……
……
Later in the afternoon, Amy Sun sent some photos.
It’s a simple studio set up in a small warehouse in the park, with a few lights and a green screen surrounding it, it’s pretty much the same thing.
Amy Sun sent another message:
[There are still two lights left, which will not be in place until tomorrow morning.
I just tried it a little bit, and I can basically restore the lighting and atmosphere of Brother Bing’s shooting scene yesterday. 】
[Okay, thank you, Teacher Amy!
I have a dinner party tonight, and Sister Yue will take you to dinner! 】
【Okay boss! Sister Yue just came to see us! 】
……
In the evening, Li Rui drove Xu Zhiquan to the downstairs of Jinfeng Business Building.
After Xu Chen received the news, he went downstairs and got in the car.
There was a dinner party in the evening, and Mayor Feng Wenjiang was treating him.
There were only four people at the dinner party. In addition to Xu Zhiquan and Feng Wenjiang, they were Xu Chen and Feng Qingqing.
Yesterday afternoon, Xu Zhiquan sent a message to Xu Chen to inform him of the dinner.
When I first met Xu Chen, I thought it was too strange. After all, Feng Wenjiang always wanted to bring Feng Qingqing and Xu Chen together.
Xu Zhiquan didn't go into details yesterday. He only told Xu Chen to "stop thinking about it" and "don't worry".
……
Xu Chen got into the car and sat in the back seat, then said:
"Dad, what's going on at this dinner party? Why did you have to call me?"
Xu Zhiquan laughed heartily:
"Your Uncle Feng likes you, so he can't have a meal with you."
Xu Chen: "..."
Xu Zhiquan smiled again and said:
"Don't worry, there's nothing complicated about it.
Our town has made great achievements in economic construction this year. Your Uncle Feng has also been transferred to the district. He is said to be a deputy. This is considered a high promotion!
He must have always wanted to treat me to dinner. After all, he was leaving town.
Uncle Feng knew that you were back for the National Day, so he asked us, father and son, to have a meal together...
Because you happened to be here, I called his daughter by the way.
You are of the same age, so you should be more casual at the table..."
Xu Chen nodded, but he was still a little surprised. He didn't expect Mayor Feng to be promoted so quickly.
But soon I figured out the reason...
The economic construction of the town is inevitably related to the Xu family's business.
After the establishment of "Chenxin Nursery", it has become the largest nursery company in Tiancheng and surrounding areas, and it has also promoted the nursery industry in the entire town.
At the same time, through Xie Bingran's celebration banquet and several other occasions, Xu Zhiquan also deliberately called Feng Wenjiang here to let him show his face more in the city...
Feng Wenjiang was promoted from the town to a deputy position in the district, so he was naturally grateful to Xu Zhiquan.
Besides, the two of them were good brothers who had known each other for many years, so it was reasonable for them to have dinner with Xu Zhiquan before they were transferred.
Xu Zhiquan spoke again:
“Mayor Chenxin’s seedlings were able to grow up, but Mayor Feng still gave a lot of support.
Later, he was transferred to the district, which was also a good thing for our nursery stock company.
For example, Beishan Lianmura Shang will be more stable..."
……
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at a restaurant in the east of the city.
Xu Zhiquan and Xu Chen and his son walked in and saw Feng Wenjiang and Feng Qingqing who came out.
Xu Zhiquan and Feng Wenjiang had a very good relationship in private, and they didn't exchange many polite greetings. They put their arms around their shoulders and walked inside.
Feng Qingqing saw Xu Chen from a distance and showed a hint of restraint:
"Xu Chen, long time no see!"
Xu Chen smiled enthusiastically but politely: "Long time no see!"
The two of them walked in together, and Feng Qingqing said again:
"I watched Xie Bingran's game on TV...
She is so awesome! ”
Xu Chen smiled and said: "That's talent, there's nothing you can do about it!"
