There are always many business stores near racing venues and other sports venues. The place chosen by He Bin's agent is a coffee shop. It does not have a first-floor facade, but is opened on the second floor of a well-known fast food restaurant.

The semi-open booths are separated one by one, and the air is filled with an unknown fragrance. Occasionally, guests can’t help but laugh softly when talking. With the addition of some classical music, Lei Hao is very interested in this kind of petty bourgeoisie. The place is not very customary.

"It's really cool to open a store like this near the racing track." Lei Hao muttered, and the waiter led him to the reserved seats.

"Hello, Mr. Lei." A middle-aged man stood up when he saw Lei Hao coming in. When Lei Hao walked over, he smiled and extended his hand with a polite smile on his face.

He Bin's management relationship was with a well-known domestic company. Originally, there were only a few team members. When he was confirmed to participate in the competition, the number of team members increased rapidly.

The person who greeted Lei Hao was Tao Qiyang, who was He Bin's former manager and now leads the entire team.

These days are the most important time for He Bin. Tao Qiyang is naturally very busy, but he is also very competent. He directly cuts off all channels for external communication with the drivers, ensuring the competitive status of his employer and taking everything on his shoulders. .

For guests like Lei Hao who bought the right to use their portrait for two years, Tao Qiyang did not have to personally invite him, but the situation was a little different.

First of all, Lei Hao made the move long before He Bin confirmed his participation, so the price he offered was low. Secondly, Tao Qiyang had other purposes.

"Two glasses of soda." After shaking hands with each other and sitting down, Qiu Yuting asked Lei Hao with her eyes. After receiving the reply, she directly ordered the waiter in a tacit understanding, very much like an old married couple.

The two sides also began to talk about the situation, which was nothing more than useless words about how awesome you are and how awesome you are.

"Mr. Lei, I want to have some discussions with you about the contract." After the conversation was over, Tao Qiyang took out the documents, a trace of hesitation flashed across his face, and said, "We want to terminate the contract."

"Huh?" Lei Hao stared at Tao Qiyang, really not expecting that this matter would happen again.

He didn't want much, which was the right to use the portrait, and He Bin didn't need any cooperation at all.

Due to lack of time and other plans in mind, Lei Hao had no intention of negotiating a deeper cooperation with the other party, so he just made a mistake.

Of course, what is a small leak now will not be small after He Bin wins the championship.

Terminate the contract? Are you willing to pay liquidated damages? Lei Hao looked at Tao Qiyang with doubts in his eyes.

"McLaren wants to sign a further endorsement contract with A Bin, but there are exclusivity clauses in it. We must take back the rights to use the portraits of some companies. Companies such as driving schools cannot cooperate." Tao Qiyang explained after considering it.

Celebrity endorsements are generally exclusive, and He Bin's status has changed. Many promotion tasks require the cooperation of enterprises. Tao Qiyang's approach is very common.

What's more, McLaren, which is now owned by the team, wants to sign a contract. You know with your toes that you should obey. This is likely to be a guarantee for increasing the number of entries in the future.

The only embarrassing thing is that there is a lot of liquidated damages in Lei Hao's contract. Is Tao Qiyang willing to pay it? I definitely don’t want to, so what should I do? Don't be shameless and say nice things, and see if you can get an unexpected surprise. If not, just tear up the contract and pay liquidated damages.

As for offending Lei Hao... Tao Qiyang didn't think it was a big deal.

"As China's only F1 racing driver, Mr. Lei, you must hope that He Bin will have broader development, so..." Tao Qiyang used national justice to "move with emotion".

Lei Hao found it very funny. He didn't steal or rob anything. Although he got some benefits from this matter, he didn't refuse to pay it back.

He Bin's financial management team just throw some money in, and Lei Hao can easily make the other party smile from ear to ear. After a lot of back and forth, a lot of cooperation between the two parties can be carried out.

Now I want to break the contract, but I don’t want to pay liquidated damages.

Lei Hao thought Tao Qiyang was joking.

"The competition within the F1 team is very fierce. Due to technical secrecy and political considerations, He Bin's life at McLaren was quite difficult. Don't be afraid of Mr. Lei's jokes. We will lose a lot in this matter. It's money, but in order for China to produce an F1 driver who often competes, our agency..." Tao Qiyang kept talking.

"Send me a formal notice, and then pay the liquidated damages to the agreed account. After we complete the legal procedures, we can declare the contract invalid." Lei Hao picked up the cup, took a sip of water, looked at Tao Qiyang, and said: " Mr. Tao doesn’t need to use those words to pressure me, I am from the financial circle.”

Tao Qiyang smiled awkwardly, not knowing what he was thinking, and fell silent for a while.

"People from the financial circle" is a very impressive sign. Lei Hao's meaning is very simple. He does not trade at a loss. It is just like buying stocks with daily limit. You have no reason to ask me to sell them back at the purchase price.

"We hope to terminate the contract peacefully." Tao Qiyang squeezed out these words.

"Now I know, and I'm not angry either, so we are at peace." Lei Hao spread his hands with a joking smile.

Bullshit peace, in fact, just wants to save money. This contract is not a big deal to Lei Hao, but he has no reason to give up for no reason, because the right to use the image is not owned by him alone, but is used by several companies. arrive.

Furthermore, Tao Qiyang clearly still doesn't understand the value of his employer. If He Bin wins the championship, McLaren will probably regress.

So... Lei Hao felt that he was not trying to trick He Bin, but could instead lend a hand to help.

"Mr. Tao, why don't we wait until the day after tomorrow to talk?" Lei Hao said with a half-smile, "Maybe He Bin can achieve good results, and then he will be able to gain more say."

"Haha." Tao Qiyang thought Lei Hao was perfunctory, but he didn't say anything. After all, no one would give up directly with millions of dollars. He was just weighing the pros and cons after breaking the contract.

He Bin has some endorsements and contracts. As an agent, Tao Qiyang also knows the strength of his employer. In terms of strength, he can rotate drivers. He should be able to drive the No. 2 car in a small team, but what is the specific talent and ability? Reality is needed to examine.

"If A Bin were British, he might have more opportunities." Tao Qiyang thought unwillingly in his heart, "Fucking foreigners, hey, when will China have an F1 team."

"The Chinese market is so huge. As long as drivers perform well, their own value will be infinitely magnified. McLaren? They will give in." Lei Hao also thought silently in his heart.

Chinese stars receive a cold reception abroad, but they also have their own strengths, which are the billions of people in the motherland who have become rich. There are no basketball or football league managers who are eager to see Chinese players. Those European and American commercial blockbusters also frequently attract Wear Chinese celebrities to show their faces.

This is the role of the market. Tao Qiyang had no confidence in asking foreign merchants to give in, but Lei Hao felt that he was sure of it, so he was stupid and gave up on the contract.
