Chapter 1049: Gaining Benefits
Besides, once the patent rights are officially approved, brands such as Picardon, Goldlion and Yi Lade will definitely hope to license the patents to other luggage manufacturers in order to profit from them.
If he has signed an exclusive cooperation agreement with Yamato Tourism for several years.
At that time, it will either cause a substantial breach of contract and you will have to bear corresponding legal liability.
Either the patent cannot be sold, which is equivalent to actually damaging the core interests of several brands that own the patent.
Finally, Ning Weimin complained.
Claims that due to the weak economic strength of China, he, as one of the few people going abroad, will inevitably take on multiple responsibilities, so he is not only responsible for managing Dadao Trading Company.
In Tokyo, there are so many things that he needs to be responsible for, and there are simply too many things to worry about.
For example, currently, as the manager of Ginza Danmiya, he is worried about the restaurant's insufficient high-end customer flow and difficulty in communicating with several domestic investment units.
How can he have enough energy to worry about other things when he is so busy?
For this reason, he believes that it is good to maintain the status quo, and there is no need to turn this easy and labor-saving cooperative relationship into a shackles that bind both parties.
I have to say that life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.
Ning Weimin is really a good actor in real life. This guy is also very good at pretending to be a big-tailed wolf.
His sanctimonious, half-truth and half-false excuses can be regarded as smashing the head of the president of Yamato Tourism.
The old devil, who was staring at tens of billions of wealth, suddenly became anxious, and he must not be willing to let the cooked duck fly away.
Who would have thought that young Ning Weimin is actually an old man who has lived two lifetimes and is more calculating than himself.
Besides, he has never read "The Deer and the Cauldron", so naturally he doesn't know that Ning Weimin is imitating Lord Wei in Jin Daxia's novel, deliberately playing hard to get with him, and thinking about how to rip him off.
So in order to resolve Ning Weimin's "concerns", Teramachi Masataka began to persuade him earnestly.
In this way, the cooperation conditions that should have been fair lost their fairness unknowingly, and gradually began to tilt towards Ning Weimin's interests.
In the end, it almost turned into Yamato Sightseeing’s bottomless, unilateral tail-wagging plea.
"President Ning, if you are really worried about five years, can we sign for two years? If you are still worried, we can also sign an additional clause, agreeing that if the day comes when the patent is approved, you are ordered to grant it Other Japanese companies' production patents are exempt from liability, and it does not count as you breaking the agreement..."
"If your company has insufficient transportation capacity, can we pick up and transport the goods ourselves? Just give us the warehouse address and we will do it ourselves. Vehicles and personnel will be arranged to pick up the goods. Then you won’t have to worry about the transportation of goods to the eight branches now. Isn’t that okay? Don’t be polite. It’s not something we have to consider. Zhou. These idiots have been causing you trouble for so long without considering the difficulties of your company. From now on, you can rest assured and leave the transportation of goods to us..."
" Oh, don't worry about the large volume of goods in the future. We at Yamato Kanko also have many related entities, such as we have good relations with JAL and many luxury hotels. We can help you introduce them if necessary. , Sell the extra trolley suitcases to them. Well, if one day the quantity of goods in your hand is so large that we at Yamato Sightseeing cannot absorb it, you can always go through the mail order channel. Right? "
"Yes, yes, I understand President Ning's difficulties, but it seems that there is no need to worry about the restaurant's problems. This is just a small matter, that's all. The problem of customer flow in the restaurant is also my responsibility. It’s not my fault. The food in your restaurant is so delicious, the decoration is so unique, and the furniture is so cultural. There is no reason why it should not be popular even if you live in other cities. People will want to taste authentic Chinese palace cuisine when they come to Tokyo. So as long as we at Yamato Tourism recommend this restaurant to our VIP customers, I believe the current situation of the restaurant will be improved soon. What do you think? ?”
The old devil is indeed very sincere, and he has figured out the conditions for the offer.
Even if it reaches the point where there is no room for concessions, the president of Yamato Tourism is still on track.
He actually knows how to sugarcoat bullets, and he spends a lot of money, trying to buy Ning Weimin with a "big golden ticket".
“Ah, President Ning, let’s not just talk about business. I have been in Japan for so long, how can you adapt to life? I don’t mean anything else, please don’t be offended, I just want to understand. Are there any aspects of your daily life that you are not satisfied with? I know a little bit about China, and I know that your country emphasizes teamwork and dedication. This is certainly a great sentiment, but for individuals, it is sometimes unavoidable. It’s too unfair. Isn’t it?”
“How is President Ning’s residence? If you work so hard every day, you have to find a high-end apartment with good location and good conditions to have a better rest. You look young, and if you treat yourself badly for a long time, your body will collapse. Oh, it turns out that your trading company has employee dormitories in Ginza, and the conditions are quite good, so I’m relieved.”
"Ah, by the way. Is President Ning interested in cars? Ah, sure enough, let me tell you, how could young people not like cars? Did President Ning learn how to drive cars after coming to Tokyo? Do you have a driver's license? I heard that there aren’t many people in China who know how to drive a car. It’s amazing that President Ning can drive in China. With all due respect, what kind of car do you drive now? Just in time, I’ll give you one.”
"Oh, you tell me what car you like. Don't be so polite. If you want to say that, then I can make my own decision. Well, just seeing that President Ning's watch is Cartier, I know you are a very classy person. How about I buy you an imported Mercedes-Benz sports car? It's chic, safe, and attractive to girls. It's eye-catching and stylish enough to be driven on the street. It's worthy of being so handsome. I'm a young man. Takahashi, you can do this. Oh, it's so trivial. I've been taking care of you for so long, but we haven't given you any decent gifts. It’s my fault that these idiots are so incompetent.”
“Ah, that’s right, you guys, listen carefully when Takahashi goes to order a car for President Ning. If one of you goes out to buy a Cartier watch, it will be an apology to President Ning. Do you understand? Oh, by the way, President Ning, I almost forgot to ask. Do you have a girlfriend? , I almost neglected it. Hey, you all heard it. Watanabe, it’s up to you, go buy a pair of Cartier couple watches tomorrow.”
Look, I have to admit, the old devil is still good. Woolen cloth.
He gave away both a car and a watch, tens of millions of yen without blinking an eye, even considering Ning Weimin’s girlfriend, how can anyone bear this?
Looking at this, if Ning Weimin had just claimed that he didn't have a girlfriend, maybe this old devil would have arranged for two warm blankets to be given to him.
Fortunately, Dadao Trading Company is purely Ning Weimin's own property. It is not a job crime for the boss to accept gifts, right?
So Ning Weimin no longer needs to pretend to get candy.
Anyway, he wanted to agree, so he just nodded.
Of course, it goes without saying. Seeing that the cooperation between the two parties was about to come true, everyone at Yamato Tourism suddenly burst into laughter.
Especially Chairman Masataka Teramachi was extremely excited, full of words of thanks and praise. "Really? Really? You've made your decision! Oh my, it's great that President Ning is willing to sign! Sure enough, President Ning is a capable and responsible person, a person worthy of full trust and entrustment. . Please rest assured that we at Yamato Tourism will never betray your trust, and our cooperation will definitely create a brilliant future for you and our company..."
The old devil even said proudly afterwards that Ning Weimin would go on vacation with his girlfriend in the future, so he could just say hello to a branch office.
Completely free, absolute VIP treatment, must be properly arranged for him.
And he is allowed to go to resorts all over the world, as long as they are covered by Yamato Tourism business.
But having said that, even though the president is already generous enough, Ning Weimin believes that it is still necessary to stretch his arms in the end.
Who makes this old devil always mention his girlfriend?
You have taken the initiative, so why not make it happen?
So Ning Weimin had an idea and took the opportunity to fight for Matsumoto Keiko.
The clever thing about him is that he proposed a joint promotion with Yamato Advertising on the grounds of official business. Of course, he would have to produce TV advertisements for the two companies.
"What? What President Ning means is...we can have a co-branded discount event...ah, co-branded discounts, this is a great idea! Yes, we have such a trolley travel We should advertise on TV stations! I very much agree with this idea! With Pierre Cardin’s brand and our reputation in Japan, I have no doubt that it will boost the performance of both of us. People have ideas.”
"As for the cost of publicity and distribution, it's easy to say. We, Yamato Tourism, can bear as much as possible. If the total cost does not exceed 100 million yen, it is okay to bear it entirely on our side. Ah? President Ning... proposed Matsumoto Keiko Want to be an advertising spokesperson? Oh, that's just it... Our company doesn't have a dedicated advertising actor. Matsumoto Keiko is indeed a famous actor, especially her temperament and image are perfect, but... President Ning may have one. I don’t know, but I remember she had a supernatural incident in an advertisement a few years ago. Since then, no company has dared to invite her to shoot advertisements. Everyone must be afraid that similar accidents will happen again..."
"What? Matsumoto Keiko has actually signed an advertising endorsement contract with Pierre Cardin China, and she is also the most high-end exclusive model for trolley suitcases...then...then no problem! Facts have proven the success of this product , not to mention such a multinational brand. Oh, please forgive me for being an old man. I made a mistake just now. If you admire this actress so much, then I respect your opinion and we will use Matsumoto Keiko for the joint advertisement. Okay. In terms of expenses... Do Yamato Tourism need to pay 50 million yen for the annual endorsement fee? Hmm... I think it's okay. "
"Ah, I have to say, look. President Laining has already considered the joint promotion plan quite maturely. Such work ability is really admirable. It is difficult for us to come to Japan at such a young age and run so many companies for your government. It would be great to have people like President Ning. In a few years, I can retire with peace of mind. It’s a pity that none of these losers can be as good as President Ning..."
In this way, Ning Weimin actually got his wish again.
I successfully secured a good opportunity for Keiko Matsumoto to star in an advertisement and increase her net worth.
This Teramachi Masataka never seemed to say no when faced with him, and he was so controlled.
What is this called?
This is called Zhou Yu hitting Huang Gai, one is willing to hit and the other is willing to suffer.
In short, Ning Weimin gave the old Japanese a hard blow and reaped the benefits from Yamato Tourism, which made him feel secretly happy.
As for the actual value, it is really difficult to estimate.
For example, in the area of logistics and transportation, Ning Weimin's biggest headache was solved. For about two years, he no longer had to worry about building his own transportation team.
From now on, he does not need to buy a car or hire anyone.
You only need to temporarily hire a transportation company every time you declare goods, and then add a few more people to your warehouse to ensure the supply of Yamato sightseeing.
The cost savings and trouble reduction are worth at least several hundred million.
In comparison, the little club consumption that made Axia feel satisfied and sincerely grateful was nothing to mention.
Even Matsumoto Keiko's 100 million yen in advertising endorsements over two years pales in comparison.
If we compare it to the domestic situation in China at this time, in order to attract investment, various places have introduced policies to exempt taxes and land fees.
Ning Weimin is even more amazing!
The terms of his business contract can be called the biggest foreign trade victory since the reform.
However, even so, for Masataka Teramachi, the president of Yamato Tourism, this incident is also enough to make him happy.
Because on the surface, although he is retreating step by step, in fact he knows that at a small price, he has gained at least tens of billions in extra profits every year.
Why would he feel distressed and why would he be dissatisfied with this?
So when it was time to say goodbye, even though he spent a lot of money on Ning Weimin, the president who signed the cooperation agreement was very friendly and full of good impressions of Ning Weimin.
I sincerely expressed the hope that he would definitely visit Kyoto when he has time.
He also said that he would definitely hold a feast in Gion, the most famous place in Kyoto, and invite the most famous geisha to entertain him.
How can I put it, this is probably the most perfect result in shopping mall transactions.
Both parties involved in the cooperation felt that they had won the big prize, and everyone involved in the transaction was satisfied.
It is rare for businessmen from two different countries to achieve such a harmonious outcome in a shopping mall negotiation.
