Chapter 811: You have to scratch someone and scratch them
The second contact between Pierre Cardon Company and Monita occurred at two o'clock in the afternoon on April 18th.
The negotiation location is Maxim's Restaurant.
The reason why it was not arranged in the company conference room was mainly due to the side effects of the news about Alain Delon in the newspaper and the start of the model competition.
I have to say that today’s Pierre Cardon Company is very different from its usual situation.
Not only were there many phones and they were ringing endlessly, but it was also very chaotic with people coming and going.
There are several groups of reporters who come to the company every day, and there is also a constant flow of partners, service providers, and models from all walks of life.
Clothing organization work requires a large number of professionals and sufficient space.
For this reason, Song Huagui began to worry about renting a small office again.
It was decided that after this model competition is over, they will move again and rent out the entire guest room upstairs.
As for how to solve the current dilemma, she could only negotiate with Chongwenmen Hotel and borrow their conference room for a period of time.
On the contrary, there were not many customers at Maxim's Restaurant in the afternoon from two to six o'clock.
Except for the occasional scattered foreign guests who come here to enjoy afternoon tea, there is no one else around.
And the environment is quiet, with food and drink.
You must know that during this negotiation, Song Huagui was already prepared to achieve partial cooperation and decided to hand over part of the competition makeup business to Monita.
Under this premise, she also had to ensure that Ning Weimin put just the right amount of pressure on the other party and not go too far.
Of course it is such an environment, which is most suitable for controlling the scene, relaxing the atmosphere, and conducive to them singing on the same stage.
Besides, Zheng Mingming did not come alone. In addition to a female assistant, she was accompanied by Liu Xiaoqin, the introducer of the matter.
So in this meeting, most of the participants were women.
There is no other way to make people feel more comfortable than to hold a salon and sit in Maxim's restaurant to enjoy tea and discuss at the same time.
As expected, because Song Huagui was very thoughtful.
The subsequent development of this incident was generally based on the script designed by her and Ning Weimin.
At the beginning of the meeting, Monita and her group were very happy.
Not only did Ms. Zheng like the environment of Maxim Restaurant and enjoy Song Huagui's hospitality, she was also extremely happy to have successfully cooperated in the makeup for the model competition.
She probably didn’t expect that Pierre Cardon would be so generous, and almost agreed to all her requests without paying much of the price.
So he expressed his gratitude to Song Huagui repeatedly and complimented her endlessly, almost as if he wanted to worship her as a sister on the spot.
Zheng Mingming began to feel uncomfortable just when Ning Weimin, who had a plan, began to approach him about the possibility of cooperation between the two parties in running a school.
Because Ning Weimin is polite and polite, but there is a sharp and cold sword wrapped under his soft feathers.
He used language skillfully and firmly expressed Pierre Cardon's determination to get involved in the beauty and hairdressing field in the mainland.
Claims that this matter is inevitable whether Monita is willing to cooperate or not.
Moreover, Pierre Cardon not only wants to open its own brand of training institutions, but also opens several beauty salons.
This is like hitting a snake on the seventh inch.
After all, Pierre Cardon Company’s abundant capital and connections in the mainland are obvious.
If you really want to get involved, no one can stop it.
It’s hard to say whether we can become bigger and stronger, but being a disruptor is easy.
In this way, Ning Weimin's politeness and politeness in discussing matters, and even the generous cooperation conditions he had just reached, in turn, became Zheng Mingming's restraint on Monita.
She could neither blame the other party for using her power to suppress others, nor could she bear to give up the long-term profits that this big customer could create.
I am also afraid that if cooperation cannot be negotiated, Pierre Cardin will really stand on its own.
You can agree, but I'm afraid that Picardon will turn his back on guests, occupy the magpie's nest, and end up making wedding clothes for others in vain.
In short, I am in a dilemma and have a huge headache.
This kind of worry about gains and losses will make it impossible to be as tough as before in actual negotiations.
Zheng Mingming first agreed to establish a joint venture company to jointly develop the beauty and hairdressing market in the mainland.
Then they had to agree to expand the scope of cooperation.
In addition to running schools, the two parties will also cooperate in the development and production of beauty and hairdressing stores and beauty and hairdressing products.
Then the pricing of shares invested by both parties also began to collapse, and the share ratio also began to retreat.
What is 1 million and 10% of the shares, up to 20% of the shares? Such conditions no longer exist at all.
He directly asked Ning Weimin to expand up and down, which doubled the advantage.
Pilkadot still invested 2 million, but accounted for 40% of the shares of the joint venture.
If necessary in the future, we can jointly inject capital in proportion.
Then there is the issue of priority and exclusivity.
The two parties have reached a consensus that without the permission of one party, neither party shall introduce third-party investors or transfer the equity of the joint venture company.
The joint venture established by both parties is the only vehicle for both parties to develop the beauty and hairdressing market in mainland China.
No party may conduct related commercial and promotional activities through other company carriers in the form of sole proprietorship or joint venture.
Pilcaton Company has priority in selecting and hiring students trained by Monita.
The products and makeup artists of the joint venture company should also give priority to meeting the actual needs of Pierre Cardon.
Subsequently, there are also the specific management and operation methods and development direction of the joint venture, which require coordination and discussion by both parties.
Ning Weimin, on behalf of Pierre Cardon, promised Zheng Mingming that he would not directly participate in the specific operation and management of the joint venture, but requested financial supervision rights.
Zheng Mingming will build a mature talent training system within five years, and open three to four chain stores in Beijing to initially open the primary market for professional beauty and hairdressing products in Beijing.
After five years, if the joint venture is operating well, consider developing to the south.
Lay out in Shanghai and Huacheng in order to develop exclusive brands of high-end cosmetics.
In short, in terms of overall rhythm, Zheng Mingming gave in step by step, while Ning Weimin pressed closely.
For example, Ning Weimin is like a master of PUA.
Relying on the strength of Pierre Cardon, Zheng Mingming was brainwashed in a condescending yet extremely gentle manner.
From time to time, he complained about Monita's arrogance, emphasizing that he was very sincere, but was treated insincerely.
And Zheng Mingming was just like an animal tempted by a carrot and afraid of being whipped, he was completely controlled by Ning Weimin.
In the end, the only thing that both parties struggled with and were unwilling to compromise was the joint venture's flagship brand.
As for the name of the joint venture company, although Zheng Mingming could not disagree with Ning Weimin's joint name plan.
However, Zheng Mingming insisted on using only Monita for the naming of the school institution and the use of commercial brands. This is a dispute over core demands.
Ning Weimin still lacked some experience, because he saw victory in sight, so he became anxious unconsciously.
For a while, I only focused on arguing with reason and forgot to convince others with virtue.
All the skills of beautiful language and euphemism are thrown away, and only sharp words are used to forcefully force.
Zheng Mingming, who was fifteen years older than him, almost cried.
Fortunately, Song Huagui intervened in time and began to use pleasant words to eliminate the hostility between each other, and used sweet words to smooth away the wrinkles and negative emotions between Zheng Mingming's brows, thus maintaining each other's dignity.
Otherwise, the negotiations will reach a deadlock, and the harmony that the two sides have maintained on the surface will cease to exist.
If it doesn't work well, the talks collapse, making the originally good situation become harsh and complicated.
Ning Weimin was not stupid, and he quickly realized his problem.
Knowing that I almost lost my grace, I forgot the principle of subduing the enemy without fighting.
Now, it is obviously time to slow down.
So I quickly peeed, stood up and ran to the toilet.
However, even this did not escape the embarrassment.
Liu Xiaoqin actually chased after him and blocked the door of the toilet, waiting for him to come out and teach him a lesson.
"Why are you like this? You don't want to be ignored. I didn't expect you to have such a handsome appearance. You are still not a man!"
" Oops. You are still complaining."
"What's wrong? I was the one who arranged this, but you can't even give me a few words."
Ning Weimin was really surprised by Liu Xiaoqin's frank and generous intervention without any hesitation.
I thought that Liu Xiaoqin, this aunt, had a really bad temper, and she dared to say anything even if she didn't like it.
The righteousness is enough, but it is a bit heartless.
No wonder decades later, everyone said that the 1980s was a time when anyone with courage could win, and the same was true for celebrities.
“Hey, don’t misunderstand this. Shouldn’t I argue for the interests of our company?”
"It should be." Liu Xiaoqin said with mockery, "But your fight will make all our early efforts in vain. Are you sincerely talking about the worst?"
"I said sister, you really wronged me. I also want to sign a contract with Heqi. But the problem is how to give up the core interests? Obviously it is a joint venture, then both parties have the right to promote their own brands. If only To make Monita famous, doesn’t our company become a charity?”
“Hmph.” Liu Xiaoqin snorted. "Stop coming! I can see clearly who is pushing for others and who is being squeezed. Hey, I say you are about the same. Everyone has promised so much. Can't you give in? At the beginning, you If you are so aggressive and arrogant, what will you do in the future? You are not afraid of scaring them away. I am doing things for your own good. Gay men should be open-minded, and you are not afraid of Mr. Song blaming you. ..."
But Ning Weimin disagreed.
"You are wrong. If there are no ugly words in the front, it will be more troublesome to cause disputes in future cooperation. No matter how open-minded I am, I can't sign a cession clause. That would be a 'loss of power and humiliation of the country'. What's wrong with Mr. Song? If they blame me, I would have to resign if I dare to agree.”
"You are still fighting for her. Do you know? She has already taken advantage of her. How famous is our Pierre Cardin in China? Who in the mainland knows about Monita? We let her take advantage of our popularity. She is not happy anymore. ? Why? Besides, we gave her two million dollars. Is it reasonable for her to give birth to a child with just a few words? Liu Xiaoqin was speechless.
But then I thought about it and it still wasn’t too solid.
After all, Liu Xiaoqin did stupid things with good intentions. Why did he offend two people for such a small thing?
He softened his tone again and went back to smooth things over.
"Sister Xiaoqin, I know you have good intentions, but you are too generous. When it comes to business, you can't just talk about friendship. The essence is interests. To put it bluntly, even if you are a matchmaker and have sex, you can't force it. It's done as soon as we meet. Don't you want to raise some conditions? We need to have a good discussion about how much gift we need to marry a wife. Everyone wants to get benefits from the cooperation between these two companies. Everyone has to get it. Only what you want should be put before interests."
"Do you know why Mr. Song is so calm? I can tell you that Mr. Song really doesn't care. This matter is too serious. If we can't talk about it, we can do it alone. Don't think I'm serious, but I really want to make this happen. Do you think it's interesting for you to worry about me?" br>
"I'm not worried about you. No matter how worried I am for you, it's just a blind worry." Liu Xiaoqin finally realized that she couldn't control it, shook her head and started to talk nonsense.
"Hey, let me ask you, didn't you like those four last time? After eating my meal, you didn't even have a word to say. What kind of one are you looking for? "
"Ah? ...Ah..."
Thinking of that meal, Ning Weimin couldn't help but express his gratitude and said with a smile on his face, "Thank you so much. You worry so much about me. But the problem is that I don't want to get married before I am thirty..."
"Nonsense! Who gets married at thirty? Those are the poor people who can't find one. With your conditions, don't you have a decent girlfriend? I know you have long eyes and a head. But there are so many good girls in the world, I Don’t you believe that you don’t like this one?”
Liu Xiaoqin really looked like she was Ning Weimin’s sister, and she actually wanted to help him.
"Hey, we have another little girl coming to Beijing Film Studio. She is very beautiful. Her name is Lin Fangbing. I will arrange for you to meet her then..."
Ning Weimin was too busy. Wave your hands.
"Goodbye, there are thousands of good girls in the world, but they are all just as fucked up when they get married. The one who is wise and affectionate is a Bodhisattva, not a daughter-in-law. No more trouble, I'm really not in a hurry..."
"De Xing! You're still in high spirits, aren't you?"
Liu Xiaoqin twisted her waist and stamped her feet, turned around and walked back in anger. "Why do I feel like I'm harming you when I introduce someone to you? Forget it, I just want to talk to you."
However, Ning Weimin stopped her again, "Hey, don't leave yet, stay a step , I have something serious to tell you."
Liu Xiaoqin turned around and glared, "What do you want me to do?"
"I haven't asked you yet. How did you meet Ms. Zheng? How come you became her introducer?"
"Director Li Hanxiang introduced me. When I went to Hong Kong City, She did some styling for me.”
“What’s wrong? How close have we been? Well, let’s not talk about me. Mr. Song is more respectable than her. ? What about you? But why are you talking to Hong Kong with your elbows turned out? "
"Hey, you are not afraid of others hearing me."
Liu Xiaoqin turned around and glanced at the seats where Song Huagui and Zheng Mingming were sitting, and then angrily came up. That was just scratching people.
Ning Weimin chuckled, took a few steps back, and pulled her hand away.
"I won't tease you anymore. I don't plan to talk about this matter anymore. Later, you can help persuade Ms. Zheng and agree to get married. Otherwise, she will definitely regret it. If it really happens I’ll give you 50,000 yuan.”
“What? Really?” Liu Xiaoqin was stunned.
"Of course, can I fool you?"
"Are you... trying to bribe me?" Liu Xiaoqin's self-esteem was a little damaged.
"What are you talking about? I am acting according to the rules." Ning Weimin said in a low voice.
"That's how it is in the mall, no help is in vain. What is a friend? To be a friend, you have to take care of each other. The more friends you are, the less I can bully you. Right? It's because I didn't explain it clearly. You can persuade me if you want. It doesn’t matter if you don’t. The contract will be signed anyway. The money I promised is yours.” “Oh, by the way, then Ms. Zheng will agree to it through you. The company signed the model's makeup contract. Logically speaking, she must be happy about it. But I also tell you, don't show that you are happy when you are given something. Otherwise, it will not make sense to bully you. I have seen the world. I will not give you the big head. Hong Kong businessmen have always looked down on us. "Sister, I am not trying to instigate you." But let’s see what Ms. Zheng says. You can tell whether her character is good or bad by just looking at it.” The expression on his face gradually became complicated.
That look was very similar to the mixture of relief and worry in the movie "Curtain Behind the Curtain" when Cixi overheard Sushun's advice to Xianfeng to "keep the son away from the mother" and heard that Xianfeng couldn't bear to do it.
However, at this moment, a childish voice suddenly sounded behind them.
"Are you...are you Liu Xiaoqin? Really...really! Can you sign your name for me?"
