Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"Who does he think he is? The governor of Xiangjiang?"

After leaving New Oriental Company, Gioatto got into the car and shook his head while talking.

In his opinion, since Lin Daoqiu wants to win the exclusive rights to operate KFC Xiangjiang, he should please himself.

I didn't expect that this guy would dare to treat me like this. He just didn't know what to do.

But in fact, Lin Daoqiu's attitude towards Gioato was normal from beginning to end, and there was nothing inappropriate about it.

If it were Foden who came to talk to Gioatto about this matter, this guy would never dare to speak so wildly.

It was because Lin Daoqiu was Chinese that Gioatto didn't take him seriously, even if he was an internationally renowned movie tycoon.

But what Gioato didn't expect was that Lin Daoqiu had no intention of letting it go.

He absolutely wants the exclusive rights to operate KFC Xiangjiang.

After talking to Gioatto, Lin Daoqiu called Foden directly.

"I just met the people sent by KFC."

"Really? How's it going? Did the conversation go smoothly?"

In Foden's view, KFC should be happy to cooperate with Lin Daoqiu.

But what Foden didn't expect was that Lin Daoqiu said on the phone.

"It's a pity that their negotiators have no sincerity at all, so this negotiation has completely failed."

Foden was stunned for a moment, he never expected such a result.

"What's wrong?"

Foden was very curious as to why the negotiation fell through just after the first meeting. This is too nonsense.

Lin Daoqiu briefly explained Gioatto's conditions to Foden.

After listening to Lin Daoqiu's words, Foden's face suddenly sank.

Although he did not intend to participate in KFC's investment, he was responsible for the meeting between Lin Daoqiu and KFC.

Although Foden has not operated the fast food industry before, nor has he invested in KFC.

But he bets that the conditions offered by the guy named Gioatto are definitely not required by KFC. I'm afraid he added them without permission.

When he thought of this, Foden's face suddenly dropped.

"Lin, give me some time and I will find out for you."

That night, Foden called KFC directly.

When receiving a call from Foden, KFC chairman Widdis showed a very enthusiastic attitude.

After all, the Lawrence family is a very prestigious family in the United States and owns many industries.

Having a good relationship with Foden is definitely a very beneficial thing for KFC.

"Dear Mr. Foden, is there anything I can do for you?"

There was an affectionate tone in Weidis' tone.

But it's a pity that he couldn't see Foden's expression at this time. If he could have seen it, he might have stopped laughing long ago.

"Mr. Widdis, I'm sorry to interrupt your work. I'm making this call because I have something to confirm with you."

Contrary to Widdis' enthusiastic attitude, Foden's tone was very flat when he spoke, and you could tell there was something wrong at first glance.

"Please tell me, if I can help you, I will be very happy."

Although he didn't know why Foden suddenly called him, Widdis always felt in his heart that nothing good would happen.

"It's actually very simple. I want to know how much it costs to join KFC every year. This shouldn't be a secret, right?"

Widdis originally thought something big had happened, but he didn't expect that Foden only wanted to know this.

If that was the case, there would be no need for Widdis to hide Foden's knowledge.

"Mr. Foden, if you want to join KFC, you need to pay a franchise fee to the company every year, and 3% of the profits will be used as royalties."

The conditions mentioned by Vidis are very different from those mentioned by Gioatto before.

When Foden heard this, he already knew that Gioatto was just talking nonsense.

"Mr. Widdis, as far as I know, the conditions offered by your Asian general manager, Mr. Gioatto, are very different from what you said. Can you tell me the reason?"

Widdis didn't understand what Foden meant by this.

How could Gioatto offer different conditions than him?

Only then did Widdis realize that the reason for Foden's dissatisfaction was probably Gioatto.

"Mr. Foden, I wonder what conditions Gioatto offered?"

"The franchise fee plus 10% of the total sales amount must be paid every year as a royalty."

As soon as Foden finished speaking, Widdis stood up from his chair.

Because the condition mentioned by the other party was something that he had never heard of before.

"Mr. Foden, is there a misunderstanding here?"

At this time, Weidis could only quickly find a way to save it. He didn't want Fu Zheng to hate KFC because of this incident.

"Misunderstanding? Mr. Widdis is really good at joking. By the way, I forgot to tell you that the person negotiating with Gioatto is named Lin Daoqiu. He is the one who filmed "Mission: Impossible", "Home Alone" and "The Mummy"

Lin Daoqiu."

Even though Widdis has never heard of Lin Daoqiu's name, there are quite a few people in the United States who have seen these three movies, and Widdis is one of them.

He didn't know before that Lin Daoqiu was joining KFC, and he left these matters to his subordinates to handle.

"Mr. Foden, this must be a misunderstanding. Please give me some time and I will deal with it right away."

Vidis is now anxious to find Gioatto. He wants to ask that guy what stupid thing he has done.

…………

As the president of KFC Asia, Gioatto has the final say in everything in Asia, although he is far away from the power center of KFC.

Before receiving the call from Vidis, Gioatto was still flirting with his secretary.

"Chairman, why do you have time to call me?"

When he heard Vidis's voice on the other end of the phone, Gioatto hadn't realized what he was about to face.

"Gioatto, you have already talked with Mr. Lin, right? I wonder how the negotiation went this time?"

The tone of Widdis on the other end of the phone sounded the same as usual, so Gioatto didn't pay much attention.

"Chairman, I'm sorry, Mr. Lin has great objections to the fees paid, so the negotiation failed."

Gioatto didn't expect that Vidis would make this call to ask about the negotiations.

But fortunately, he had already thought of an excuse before, so he didn't worry about being cheated on.

"Gioatto, can you tell me what conditions you offered Mr. Lin?"

Gioatto was about to answer the same question as before.

But when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly got stuck.

"The franchise fee plus 10% of the total sales amount every year, who gave you the right to do this?

The more Vidis talked, the angrier he became, and he yelled: You stupid pig, bastard, if you can't handle this, just pack up and leave."
