National Tide 1980

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 signs 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.

Otherwise, 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.

He claimed that due to China's weak economic strength, he, as one of the few people who went abroad, would inevitably take on multiple responsibilities, so he was 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.

With so little to do, how could he have enough energy to worry about other things?

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, and this guy is also very good at pretending to be a big-tailed wolf.

His sanctimonious, half-truth and half-false excuses were enough to stun 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 ghost 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 trading company has insufficient transportation capacity, can we pick up and transport the goods ourselves? Just give us the warehouse address, and we will arrange vehicles and personnel to pick up the goods. By then, you will also be responsible for the transportation of goods to these eight branches. Don't worry about it anymore. Isn't that good? It doesn't matter. Don't be polite. It's because we didn't consider it well. These idiots have been causing you trouble for so long without considering the difficulties of your trading company. In the future, you Just don’t worry, we can leave all the cargo transportation issues to us..."

"Ah, don't worry about the large volume of cargo in the future. We at Yamato Kanko also have many related entities, for example, we have very good relations with JAL and many luxury hotels. As long as you need it, we can help you introduce it Let's sell the extra trolley suitcases to them. Let's do this. If one day the quantity of goods in your hands is so large that we at Yamato Tourism will never be able to digest it, you can go through the mail order channel. This can always be done. Alright?"

"Yes, yes, I understand President Ning's difficulties, but it seems that there is no need to worry so much about the restaurant's problems. This is a completely trivial matter. Well, I will also take care of the customer flow problem of your restaurant. I'm not saying it. The food in your restaurant is so delicious, the decoration is so unique, and the furniture is so cultural. There's no reason why it shouldn't be popular. Even people who live in other cities will want to try it when they come to Tokyo. Let’s try some authentic Chinese palace cuisine. So as long as we at Yamato Tourism recommend this restaurant to our VIP customers, I believe that the current situation of the restaurant will soon be improved. What do you think?"

The old devil is indeed very sincere, and he has figured out the conditions for the offer with all his brains.

Even if it reaches the point where there is no room for concessions, the president of Yamato Tourism is still on track.

He actually knew how to sugar-coat things, and he did not hesitate to spend 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've been in Japan for so long, how can you adapt to life? I don't mean anything else. Please don't take offense. I just want to know if you have any problems in your daily life. I am used to living in unsatisfactory places. I know a little bit about China and know that your country pays attention to collective supremacy and dedication. This is certainly a great sentiment, but for individuals, sometimes it is too aggrieved. Is it possible? Isn’t it?”

"How is President Ning's residence? With such a busy work schedule every day, you have to find a high-end apartment with good location and good conditions to have a better rest. Otherwise, regardless of your youth, if you treat yourself badly for a long time, your body will collapse. Ah, it turns out that your trading company has employee dormitories in Ginza, and the conditions are quite good. Okay, okay, then I'll feel 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? Have you? I heard that there are not many lessons for Chinese people to drive a car. President Ning can drive in China, which is really amazing. With all due respect, what kind of car are you driving now? You haven’t bought one yet? Then Just in time, I’ll give you one as a gift.”

"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. .I’ll buy you an imported Mercedes-Benz sports car. How about it? It’s chic and safe, and it’s very attractive to girls. It’s eye-catching and stylish when you drive it on the street. This is worthy of being as handsome as you. I'm a young man. Takahashi, you go handle this matter. Oh, it's so trivial, don't say that. I've been taking care of you for so long, but I haven't given you any decent gifts. In fact, it's because we are embarrassed. We are all. 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 tomorrow, one of you will buy a Cartier watch as a token of appreciation for President Ning. Apologize. Do you understand? Ah, by the way, President Ning, I almost forgot to ask. Do you have a girlfriend? Ah, sorry, sorry, I almost overlooked it. Hey, you all heard it, right? Watanabe, then It’s just you, go buy a pair of Cartier couple watches tomorrow.”

Take a look, I have to admit, the old devil is still awesome.

He gave away a car and a watch, and gave away tens of millions of yen without blinking an eye. Even Ning Weimin's girlfriend was taken into consideration. How can anyone bear this?

Seeing 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 needed to pretend to get candies.

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.

In particular, Chairman Masataka Teramachi was extremely excited and 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 arrogantly 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's tourism business.

But having said that, even though the president was already generous enough, Ning Weimin believed that it was still necessary to stretch his arms in the end.

Who makes this old devil always mention his girlfriend?

You've already taken the initiative, so why not make it happen?

Then an idea came to him, and Ning Weimin took the opportunity to fight for Matsumoto Keiko.

What was clever about him was that he proposed a joint promotion with Yamato Advertising on the grounds of official business. Of course, he would have to produce TV commercials 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 suitcase, it should be on the TV station Advertise on the Internet! I very much agree with this idea! With Pierre Cardin’s brand and our Yamato Tourism’s reputation in Japan, it will definitely boost the performance of both of us. I have no doubt that young people still 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 ok to be borne entirely by us. Ah? President Ning... proposed Matsumoto Keiko Want to be the spokesperson for advertising? Oh, it’s just this... Our company has not signed an exclusive advertising actor. Keiko Matsumoto is indeed a famous actor, especially her temperament and image are perfect, but... President Ning may have 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 exclusive model for the most high-end trolley suitcases...then...that's no problem! Facts have proven the success of this product. What's more, it's 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. Let's use Matsumoto Keiko for the joint advertisement. In terms of expenses... Do we, Yamato Tourism, have to pay 50 million yen for annual endorsement fees? Well... I think it is possible, this is no problem."

"Ah, I have to say that it seems that President Ning has already considered the joint promotion plan quite maturely. Such work ability is really admirable. He can come to Japan at such a difficult time at such a young age and run such a business for your country's government. Many companies. It would be great if we at Yamato Tourism have talents like President Ning. In a few years, I can retire with peace of mind. It’s a pity that none of these wastes can be half as good as President Ning... …”

In this way, Ning Weimin actually got his wish again.

Very smoothly, he 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's beating of Huang Gai. One is willing to be beaten and the other is willing to suffer.

In short, Ning Weimin was able to give the old Japanese a hard blow and benefited from Yamato Tourism, which made him feel secretly happy.

As for the exact 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 doesn't need to buy a car or hire anyone.

You only need to temporarily hire a transportation company every time you declare goods to be shipped, and then add a few more people to your warehouse to ensure the supply of Yamato sightseeing.

The cost savings and troubles saved are worth at least several hundred million.

In comparison, the little club spending 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 China's domestic situation at this time, various places have introduced policies to exempt taxes and land fees in order to attract investment.

Then Ning Weimin is even more incredible!

The terms of the business contract he signed can be regarded as 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.

How could he feel distressed and why could 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 still very friendly and full of good impressions of Ning Weimin.

I sincerely hope that he will 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 felt they had taken the big hit, and everyone involved in the deal was satisfied.

It is rare for businessmen from two different countries to negotiate in a shopping mall and get such a harmonious result.
