Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Lin Daoqiu has no objection to paying a franchise fee every year.

However, Gioatto actually said that he has to hand over 10% of the total sales to them every year. This is simply a joke.

"Mr. Gioatto, did you say it wrong? Is it 10% of the total sales amount? Or is it 10% of the total profit amount?"

Lin Daoqiu wanted to confirm whether he heard it correctly, because there was a big difference here.

"Mr. Lin, what I said is indeed ten percent of the total sales amount."

Gioato looked at Lin Daoqiu seriously, and he knew at a glance that he was definitely not joking.

"Are you trying to steal money?"

Lin Daoqiu couldn't bear it anymore, because the conditions offered by the other party were too excessive.

Gioato seemed to have been prepared for Lin Daoqiu's reaction.

"Mr. Lin, these are the rules previously formulated by the company. If you want to cooperate with us, you must abide by the conditions we set."

In fact, Gioatto was not telling the truth, because the second condition was not the ten percent he said, and it was not the total sales amount.

He was just testing Lin Daoqiu's attitude to see how interested he was in joining KFC.

Moreover, Gioatto has been preparing for the return of KFC to Xiangjiang. Of course, he would rather open a store in Xiangjiang instead of handing over the franchise rights of Xiangjiang to Lin Daoqiu.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gioatto, but if your company's conditions are this, then I think there is no possibility for us to continue talking."

Lin Daoqiu would not be stupid enough to agree to the other party. In addition to paying them a franchise fee every year, he would also have to hand over another large amount of money.

If he really agrees, his profits will be greatly eroded by KFC in the future.

"Mr. Lin, maybe you should seriously consider it. After all, KFC is doing very well in Asia."

For Gioatto, although KFC failed in Xiangjiang, its development momentum in Asia has been very good in recent years, especially in Neon, where its performance is even more impressive.

But it was a pity that Lin Daoqiu had no intention of bowing his head on this matter. He didn't even think about agreeing to the other party.

"I don't know how KFC is performing in Asia, but in Xiangjiang, you left after only one year. I believe you have not forgotten it."

For KFC, the defeat in Hong Kong in the 1970s was a pain in their hearts.

Although Gioatto had not yet worked for KFC at the time, for him, if he could succeed in Xiangjiang, it would prove to the guys at the head office how good he was.

"You have an old saying, it's one moment, another moment. If KFC is really that bad, I'm afraid Mr. Lin won't come to us."

Gioato believed that he had understood Lin Daoqiu's mentality. Even if the deal failed to be negotiated, it would not be a big loss for him.

But it was a pity that Gioato seemed to underestimate Lin Daoqiu. At least among the people he had come into contact with before, Lin Daoqiu was definitely an anomaly.

"What you said is only half right."

"Half? What do you mean?"

Gioato looked at Lin Daoqiu with a puzzled face.

"KFC is indeed not bad, but the problem is that it will only succeed under my management. If it is run by someone else, the last failure will happen again."

Gioatto is not a time traveler, so he cannot know what the future prospects of KFC will be.

Although he wanted to deny Lin Daoqiu's words, he did not dare to boast at this time because of his failure last time.

"Mr. Lin is too arrogant. As far as I know, you have never been in the food industry, let alone the fast food industry, so your words are hard to believe."

Gioato shook his head as he spoke. He felt that Lin Daoqiu simply treated him as a three-year-old child.

A person who has never been involved in the catering industry dares to boast about Haikou and say that KFC's success in Hong Kong depends on him. This is tantamount to a slap in the face to KFC's top management, including Gioatto.

A layman can do something that they have never done before. Doesn't this seem like they are too incompetent?

"Facts speak louder than words. My money didn't come from the strong wind. Do you think I would joke about my money?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at Gioato with a serious face. He was not in the mood to joke with him here.

Shaking his head, Gioato still felt that Lin Daoqiu was not the kind of collaborator he wanted, even though the other party did not have financial problems.

"Mr. Lin, if you want to cooperate, you must pay a franchise fee every year, including a royalty fee of 10% of the total sales amount. If you agree, we can continue the discussion."

Gioato said this, but he actually wanted to stop the negotiation with Lin Daoqiu.

He was even ready to reply to the head office, saying that Lin Daoqiu would not agree to their conditions and let the matter fall through.

"Mr. Gioatto, I want to know if this is what you mean or if it is what KFC headquarters means."

Lin Daoqiu did not answer whether Qiao Yatuo agreed, but asked the other party a question.

Gioatto answered Lin Daoqiu with a smile.

"Of course it means the head office."

Hearing what Gioato said, Lin Daoqiu's serious expression suddenly began to soften, and even a faint smile appeared on his face, which made Gioato feel a little confused.

"Okay, if that's the case, then we have nothing to talk about. I'd rather Mr. Gioatto make a trip."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he stood up from the sofa and stretched out his hand towards Gioatto.

When Gioato heard this, he also stood up. After shaking hands with Lin Daoqiu, he said.

"It's a pity that we were unable to reach a cooperation agreement with Mr. Lin. Although we failed to become partners, your movie is still very exciting, and I will continue to buy tickets to support it in the future."

"Thank you very much. Next time I have a new movie released, I will definitely invite you to watch it as soon as possible."

Gioato felt that the matter had been settled and he did not need to stay here anymore, so he quickly said goodbye to Lin Daoqiu and left his office.

And when Gioatto left, the smile on Lin Daoqiu's face suddenly became brighter.

Although he didn't know much about the internal affairs of KFC, Lin Daoqiu still knew that to join KFC, you must pay a franchise fee every year. This is definitely true.

But as for the second condition mentioned by Gioatto, Lin Daoqiu was highly suspicious of it. He felt that it was very likely that Gioatto was making things up out of thin air.

If it can be proven that Gioatto is lying to himself, I'm afraid it will be difficult for this guy to laugh again.
