Chapter 39(1/2)
Ning Weikai noticed Aida's strangeness.
But these abnormalities are vague and have no clues. We can only infer from some recent trends of Ida that they are going to launch a new product. This new product may be in the outdoor field, but if it is more specific, it cannot be found out.
Since the last vinda battle and Li Zhicheng's thunderous rectification of the company, Xin Baorui's eyes on Ida have been snatched up, and those who are held accountable for economic responsibility are held accountable for economic responsibility; those who are dismissed have not revealed the people behind the scenes, Ida is now a bit ventilated and has a very strong cohesion.
From this point of view, it has to be said that Li Zhicheng is a very strong opponent.
On Monday morning, Ning Weikai went to Zhu's headquarters for a meeting as usual.
Today is a good weather, and Ning Weikai's appearance at Zhu's family is as glamorous and precious as ever. In fact, he only brought an assistant Yuan Jun, deliberately low-key. Unfortunately, the situation is stronger than others. Now everyone knows that Xinbaorui is the most profitable company in Zhu's family. Ning's son-in-law is highly valued by the chairman, so everyone is hugging him and being polite.
At about nine o'clock, the meeting officially began.
The chairman, also known as Ning Weikai's father-in-law Zhu Boyun, no longer intervenes in the group's daily operations and will not attend such occasions.
The meeting was chaired by the eldest son Zhu Hanchong. He is also the president of Zhu's Financial Company.
He is a very gentle man, wearing gold wire-framed glasses, and his speech is always gentle and gentle. So everyone says that Mr. Zhu is a good boss, but he lacks some courage.
At this moment, after the Operations Management Department reported the performance data of each subsidiary and business department last month, he smiled and said to everyone: "This year is a good start again, thank you for your hard work. The chairman must be very happy to see these numbers, especially the luggage..." He looked at Ning Weikai beside him: "Once again, it exceeded the plan goals and took the lead among all subsidiaries. Thank you for your hard work."
Everyone looked at Ning Weikai with a smile, polite and respectful.
Ning Weikai sighed in his heart with a little sarcastic sarcasm - Look, the hatred is coming again. But the smile on his face was particularly sincere: "It is all the help of the chairman and everyone, so can Xinbaorui develop more stably. We will continue to work hard in the new year and strive to give a satisfactory answer to the board of directors at the end of the year."
Everyone nodded frequently, and Zhu Hanchong also smiled and said nothing.
At this time, Zhu Hancheng, the second young master sitting opposite him, said unintentionally: "By the way, I heard that Aida has done a good job recently. She is still preparing new products to impact our Zhu family's market. Weikai, is there anything?" He is five years younger than his brother, just 26 this year, and graduated from an ordinary undergraduate degree. He looks handsome, but looks a bit fierce, and his speech is always neither salty nor light. He has a set of methods to do real estate. So compared to the bookish Master Zhu, the people below are more awe of the second young master.
Ning Weikai was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, he also knew about this.
Tsk... I stared at it very tightly. Who asked him to Ning Weikai to do Xin Baorui too well and perfectly, which made the Zhu family so anxious?
He nodded: "It's true." But he didn't plan to talk about it in detail.
Zhu Hancheng immediately looked at the marketing department: "When the departments reported their work just now, why don't you tell me about this important situation? Do you know how many tens of thousands of Ada's vinda packages have been sold in the past few months? Do you know that they have posed a potential threat to Zhu's market? You are the marketing department of the headquarters, so why can't you play any role?"
The person in charge of the marketing department felt very wronged - Xinbaorui's operations have always been very independent. After Ning Weikai took over in recent years, the headquarters was even more unable to get involved. They did not know what Zhu Hancheng said.
But, the top leaders are fighting, why are they using the people below them as cannon fodder?
The person in charge did not defend himself and answered vaguely: "Yes, Mr. Zhu, we will pay attention in the future."
"Okay." The eldest son Zhu Han rushed to smooth things over. "White Kai knew the situation best about the luggage industry. He had a sense of responsibility, and you don't have to worry too much about Hancheng."
Zhu Hancheng smiled and looked at Ning Weikai: "What's going on, Weikai? Do you have a plan to deal with the attack that Ida has been planning for a long time?"
What Ning Weikai was most annoying was this young master Zhu Er, who kept calling him "Weikai". He was two years older than Zhu Er, but after marrying his sister, this guy climbed upwards, disrespectful to his elders.
He smiled and replied, "There is no plan yet."
As soon as these words were said, everyone was surprised, and Master Zhu was also stunned. Zhu Er looked calm and silent.
The conference room was quiet, and some old directors looked at each other. Yuan Jun, the assistant who sat in the back row and was not in the turn of speech, felt that his boss was so stylish at this moment!
Because Ning Weikai looked around calmly, then he supported one hand on the table and tapped the other hand gently, and no one knew what he was selling in the gourd.
After a while, he seemed to have finished contemplating and said lightly: "Let me first briefly review it for you: in the past three years, market followers such as Si Meiqi, Aida, Shunkai... have used new products or marketing strategies to launch ten positive challenges to Xinbaorui. Among them, there are many very creative high-quality products and genius marketing concepts. Each one, if it is allowed to develop smoothly, it may change the entire market structure and shake Xinbaorui's position as a leader."
Everyone listened quietly, and Zhu Er also looked calm.
But Ning Weikai smiled slightly and said, "However, their final fate is the same - every new product disappeared shortly after it was launched. Instead, it is a better and more popular new product developed by Xinbaorui."
He looked around slowly and said slowly: "Hancheng, as well as all the directors and managers, don't worry about Xinbaorui. Since we are market leaders, the challenge of our competitors will never stop. But thankfully, our overall strength is much stronger than what they think. The path we have taken in independent technology research and development, design and overseas technology introduction is much further and much further than any domestic company.
They may have new inspirations and ideas. Unfortunately, they are all inclusive and used by me. As long as they can create excellent products, Xinbaorui will definitely be able to make them and surpass them. In this market, the best talents are all gathered in Xinbaorui; only Xinbaorui can make the best products.
I have to say that for competitors, this is a tragedy - because every new market they have worked so hard to open will eventually come back to us."
——
Taipei City.
Lin Qian sat in the hotel restaurant on a small sunny platform. It was still early and there were no people around. She picked up the contract Li Zhicheng signed with Mingde Fabric yesterday and looked carefully.
Li Zhicheng sat opposite her and had a quiet meal.
To be honest, the conditions of this contract were both beyond Lin Qian's expectations and reasonable. Outsiders say that the old man Mingde has a noble personality and has never been willing to sell it with a few patented fabrics. This time Li Zhicheng was able to impress him, and Lin Qian knew that there was a mystery inside.
But this mystery is really expensive. Li Zhicheng is willing to give up.
According to the contract, in the next three years, Mingde will exclusively provide the two technological fabrics it has developed to Aida for use. The new fabrics it develops in the future will have priority use under the same price. If it breaches the contract, three times the compensation of the order amount will be paid.
This condition really relieved Lin Qian's big concern.
Because the cost of fabric is the big part of the production cost of luggage. They finally found this option with the best cost performance.
Once Ada's new product is successfully launched, Xinbaorui will inevitably launch similar competitive products. But as long as Ada firmly grasps the raw materials, it is probably not easy for Xinbaorui to find low-priced and high-quality fabrics that can match it in the short term.
There must be gains and give up. To obtain this exclusive right to use, the contract stipulates that all promotion and sales activities of the new brand Aito in the future must be promoted to the Mingde brand at the same time. All TV and media advertisements must be embedded in Mingde. In short, Aito and Mingde must be introduced to the market as two equally important brands.
On this clause, Ida's money and energy need to be paid is not clear. Just talking about TV advertising, CCTV's advertisements in one second may be millions of yuan - and it also needs to be divided into part of them to Mingde.
...
Lin Qian closed the contract and looked up at Li Zhicheng.
He was more courageous and more conscious than she thought, and more familiar with human nature.
In history, raw material manufacturers only talk about the amount terms. However, he threw out such a "win-win" idea and also created a brand for the other party. The old man Mingde is a noble person by nature and is a small factory with excellent patents, but has not been acquired by others so far. He must be trying to maintain the independence of the brand. How could he not agree to such conditions?
Everyone has a high position. The so-called noble character is just that his high position is farther and higher.
At this time, the sun was mottled, shining on Li Zhicheng's shirt and on his short black hair. Lin Qian looked at his left cheek, as if there were a trace of red marks, and she couldn't help feeling slightly fluttered.
It was her kiss. Early in the morning, Li Zhicheng came to pick her up to have breakfast, and he kissed her in the entrance hall before letting her go. Today she was going to Mingde, so she also put on light makeup and lipstick, which was so shallowly printed on his cheeks.
Lin Qian smoked a piece of paper and handed it to him: "Wipe again."
Li Zhicheng naturally understood. He took the tissue, raised his hand and wiped it on his face, but stared at her.
Lin Qian: "What are you doing? Isn't you put on makeup when I meet someone today?"
Li Zhicheng didn't say anything. After a while, he put down the tissue.
Lin Qian quietly lowered her head and stirred the coffee: "The left collar... there is still around her neck."
A smile flashed quickly in Li Zhicheng's eyes: "Yes."
Lin Qian was embarrassed - what's the um! He pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger again, which was annoying!
After finally waiting for him to finish the cleaning, Lin Qian asked: "Although there is a three-fold penalty, Mr. Wang, Mingde, shouldn't betray us, right?"
Li Zhicheng said concisely: "Absolutely not."
Although he didn't know how he had such confidence, since he said so, he would definitely be 100% sure. So Lin Qian felt more relieved.
——
Mingde's factory is located in the suburbs of the city, surrounded by lush green forests, and next door are several ecological agricultural planting companies. It can be seen that Old Man Wang really has a bit of extraordinary sentiment.
Li Zhicheng was invited in by his secretary and talked to Mr. Wang alone. Lin Qian and Jiang Yuan sat in the reception room outside the room, looking at the green trees and the park outside the window, and waiting quietly.
Lin Qian estimated that the assets of this factory are about tens of millions, and the patent value is another matter. Now that we join forces with Ida, it is really very suitable to get what we need.
After more than an hour, the door of the conference room finally opened. Li Zhicheng and a thin, fifty-year-old man walked out together.
Lin Qian and Jiang Yuan immediately stood up with a smile, while looking at the man quietly.
He was wearing a navy blue Zhongshan suit and a pair of glasses. He was indeed a bit gentle and gentle like a university professor. But his face was quite cold and arrogant, and his eyes were indescribable. He looked at them and his eyes fell on Lin Qian.
Lin Qian smiled and stretched out her hand: "Hello, Mr. Wang, I am Lin Qian of Aida."
However, Mr. Wang glanced at Li Zhicheng at this time, then reached out to hold her and said slowly: "Miss Lin came from afar and was neglected."
Lin Qian was a little surprised to hear him being polite. It should be noted that this person is not very humane. It seems that she is benefiting from Li Zhicheng's glory.
Unexpectedly, President Wang changed his mind and said to Li Zhicheng: "Also, Li loves the country and the beauty more."
Lin Qian: “…”
Well, how could he know?!
Jiang Yuan, who was beside him, was also a little surprised, and then he pretended not to hear it as usual. Li Zhicheng looked at her with a faint eyebrows and glanced at her, and then naturally held her hand.
"Once Wang is the senior in the industry, let's learn more from him." He whispered to her, but everyone around him could hear it.
Lin Qian's face turned slightly red: "Of course, of course."
So... is this the rhythm of playing the emotional card of junior cards?
Lin Qian understands the interpersonal relationship very well. The deepest interpersonal relationship is by no means that you and me have the same interests, hit it off and become good partners. Instead, establishing a private social relationship.
For example, now, facing the noble professor and factory director, after talking about business, Li Zhicheng was a junior, and was openly with his girlfriend, which was both open and trustworthy. This arrogant old man naturally enjoyed it, and felt that Li Zhicheng was not completely a businessman full of stinking - he was also a young man who was full of energy and loves his girlfriend.
Lin Qian was with Li Zhicheng, looking at his quiet side face, and sighed again.
Although this person doesn't speak much, he knows the details and really has a profound understanding of the human heart.
Fortunately, he made a promise to her and would not use any scheming to her.
Lin Qian raised her lips slightly, but she still took advantage of the inattention of others and whispered: "Why are you telling others? And telling her partners?"
At this time, everyone was following Mr. Wang and doing a brief tour in the park. There were factories and green trees next to it. Li Zhicheng held her hand firmly in his palm and replied: "In the future, we will have frequent interactions with this side. It will be more convenient for you to act in this capacity."
