Resource Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 105 I will kill you

China's current per capita GDP is only a few hundred dollars, and Qinxi Province is located in the inland northwest region of China. It can be said to be the most economically backward region in China with the lowest per capita GDP. Can people here have an annual income of more than three hundred dollars? Frank

They were all deeply suspicious.

What does an income of nearly ten million US dollars mean to them? Frank couldn't help but feel happy, as if he had seen Sun Zhaolun and the owner of Carrefour supermarket, as if he saw God, trying to please himself in order to be able to

Obtaining more premium acquisitions. When he was in Hong Kong, he had seen many Chinese people scrambling to lower each other's prices, not to mention profits of tens of millions of dollars, or even profits of hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.

If I can successfully negotiate this deal and save a lot of money for the group, I will definitely be rewarded by President Nicholas after returning to France, and it is very possible to be promoted to another level. If I say again

It would be even better if you could send yourself back to China to serve as the general manager of the China region. With a French salary and spending money in China, that would be an extremely wonderful life.

Sun Zhaolun took a breath to wake himself up from the initial surprise. This move of the Carefour Group was indeed a bit unexpected. Sun Zhaolun originally thought that the Carefour Group and the Wal-Mart Group entered China and threatened them.

With its huge advantages in capital and management, it will quickly occupy major cities in the southeastern coastal areas of China. After establishing a firm foothold, it will gradually penetrate into the mainland of China. This means that in the first few years, Carrefour actually

There should be no head-on conflict between the supermarket and the two major groups, let alone large-scale competition. If Sun Zhaolun hadn't always opened Carrefour supermarkets in all large and medium-sized cities in China, Carrefour supermarkets would have become like

The ambitions of large companies like CareFour Group and Wal-Mart Group, which dominate a country's major retail market, are actually unlikely to have any overlap in a short period of time. Moreover, China's market is so huge, if Carrefour Supermarket had not done

It is not difficult to achieve the ambition of becoming the No. 1 company in the country and just want to take root in various cities. After all, even Wal-Mart Group and Carefour Group cannot dominate the United States and Europe.

"Mr. Frank, I think you will be disappointed when you come to China this time. We have no intention of selling our company." Sun Zhaolun said in a deep voice.

After listening to the translator's narration, Frank and Frank frowned slightly and unnoticed at the same time.

After the two thought about it, Sun Zhaolun's answer had the following purposes. One was that he really did not intend to sell it, even if it was acquired by Carefour Group at a premium; the other was to retreat in order to advance and require Carefour Group to propose a higher acquisition price.

The price comes; there is another way, that is, Sun Zhaolun wants to obtain some benefits for himself, so he deliberately makes things difficult. This is not surprising.

"General Manager Sun, as far as we know, the owners of Carrefour Supermarket should be the Fang family and a company in Hong Kong. Should we inform them of our acquisition request?" the translator quoted Thierry's words.

Sun Zhaolun glanced at Thierry displeasedly. In fact, according to the normal process, he could not just refuse the acquisition request of Carefour Group. However, after Sun Zhaolun and Fang Mingyuan got along in the past few years, Fang Mingyuan's character and temperament also improved.

They have a deep understanding of each other, and a while ago, the two of them had an in-depth discussion on how to deal with the issue of Carefour Group and Wal-Mart Group entering China. Sun Zhaolun firmly believed that Carefour Group’s acquisition request was to report to Fang Mingyuan, and he must be determined.

The result of rejection. "Since you think Mr. Sun's decision is not trustworthy, please leave your contact information. In a few days, I will formally notify you of the decision of my company's shareholders."

Frank had been in Hong Kong for a long time, so he naturally understood that Sun Zhaolun had issued an eviction order in disguise. He pulled Thierry, stood up, and said with a smile: "General Manager Sun, we are very sincere in acquiring your company. If you are

If you are dissatisfied with the purchase price, you can sit down and continue negotiations. We, President Nicholas, appreciate General Manager Sun's work ability very much. We hope that General Manager Sun can join our company after we reach an agreement."

The three people walked out of the Carrefour Supermarket headquarters building and got into the car. Thierry said angrily: "It's really disgusting. You are actually showing off in front of us! Frank, a man who manages tens of millions of dollars in assets

Are you a small manager worthy of such attention from the president?" During the entire conversation, apart from a cup of tea, they did not enjoy any other hospitality. Not to mention in China, even in France, as long as they showed the name of Carefour Group

Signs, employees or leaders of those small companies, none of them are polite to them.

Frank smiled slyly and said: "It is naturally impossible for the president to give special instructions to such a small person, but if this can make this Chinese person facilitate this acquisition transaction, I think Mr. President will not mind telling these words.

Take it as what I said. Besides, if we want to acquire Carrefour Supermarket smoothly, the temporary stability of the management is still necessary. As for when everything is under our control, does he still need to stay in the group? At that time,

, it depends on what we mean.”

Thierry smiled knowingly. Indeed, as Frank said, as long as Carrefour acquires the acquisition, Sun Zhaolun's fate will be in their hands. It will not be up to them to decide whether to leave or stay.

"Mr. Frank, what should we do next?" the translator asked while driving.

Frank pondered for a moment and said: "Send us to the Carrefour supermarket in this city. I want to inspect the sales here."

"Acquire Carrefour Supermarket?" Fang Mingyuan couldn't help being surprised and almost jumped up from his chair. The carefour group's behavior really exceeded his expectations.

"Yes, their representative just left me. They are willing to purchase at a price that exceeds 15% of the total assets." Sun Zhaolun's angry voice came from the phone.

"Fifteen percent?" Fang Mingyuan thought in his mind, how could this carefour group put its thoughts on its own industry? Huh? Wait! Fang Mingyuan suddenly had a realization, maybe... maybe what they are interested in is not...

own industry, but fell in love with that trademark! Although Fang Mingyuan did not know how Carefour Group chose Carrefour as the Chinese translation of the group name in the previous life, this choice was the Chinese version of the foreign company's brand name.

It is a model, even comparable to the Chinese transliteration of Coca-Cola. Such a trademark that not only has the meaning of Chinese blessings but also fits the pronunciation of carefour very well, can be said to be rare but not sought after.

Fang Mingyuan knows the significance of a trademark and a good trademark to a company. Those time-honored brands in the previous life, as well as famous enterprises in China, just because they did not pay attention to trademarks, will suffer big losses in the future and have to spend high amounts of money.

Buy back his own trademarks from those foreigners. In this life, as early as Aso Xiangyue became his agent, he asked Aso Xiangyue to sell all the famous trademarks that he could think of that might appear in the future.

The trademarks have all been registered in Japan and Western countries. Although it costs a lot of handling fees every year, Fang Mingyuan firmly believes that one day, he will get extremely generous returns.

From the trademark registration, Fang Mingyuan thought that the Internet era was coming, and it seemed that he could not let go of the domain name registration work.

Domain name is an important identifier of Internet-connected units and individuals on the Internet. It plays an identification role and facilitates others to identify and retrieve the information resources of a certain enterprise, organization or individual, thereby better realizing resource sharing on the Internet. In addition to the identification function,

In a virtual environment, a domain name can also play a role in guidance, publicity, representation, etc. In layman's terms, a domain name is equivalent to a family's house number. Others can easily find you through this number.

Since domain name registration must follow the first-to-application-first-to-register principle, the management agency does not conduct any substantive review of whether the domain name proposed by the applicant violates the rights of a third party. At the same time, the registration of each domain name is unique and non-repeatable. Therefore,

On the Internet, domain name is a relatively limited resource. Its value will gradually be valued by people as the Internet's influence on the world expands and the number of registered companies increases.

Fang Mingyuan remembered that in the previous life, the two American companies responsible for registering domain names had an annual income of hundreds of millions of dollars in domain name registration fees alone in the year 2000.

Fang Mingyuan knows that in the future economic environment, the commercial significance of domain names will far outweigh their technical significance, thus becoming an important means for various enterprises to participate in international market competition under new scientific and technological conditions. A domain name not only represents the

The company's unique position on the Internet is a commercial mark with literal meaning, similar to a trademark or trade name. It is also a comprehensive reflection of the company's products, service scope, image, goodwill, etc., and is part of the company's intangible assets.

In order to make the public familiar with and access it, so as to achieve the purpose of expanding corporate visibility and promoting business development, the importance of a good domain name is naturally self-evident. It can be said that a domain name is not a simple identifying symbol, but a

It is the condensation of corporate goodwill and the expression of popularity.

Moreover, the use of domain names is global, without traditional strict regional restrictions; domain names are absolutely unique on the Internet. Once registered, no one else is allowed to register or use the same domain name, so its exclusivity is also absolute.

; For those internationally renowned large enterprises and groups, this is no different from the importance of trademarks.

At least Fang Mingyuan remembers that it was precisely because the Chinese people did not pay enough attention to domain names at first that Chinese companies later had to buy back domain names at large prices. Typical cases include CCTV buying back the cntv domain name and Sina buying back the weibo domain name.

, Baidu bought back the tieba domain name.

All in all, the use of domain names has rich connotations for enterprises, which are far from being exhausted by the simple word "logo".

"Hello? Hello?" Sun Zhaolun's surprised voice came from the phone. Fang Mingyuan, who had been distracted, finally woke up. He was still talking to Sun Zhaolun here. He picked up a pen and put it on the paper on the table.

I made a few notes - I need to talk to Aso Xiangyue about this later. Those important domain names must be registered first. In the past life, Chinese enterprises suffered a lot of dumb losses for this, and I must give them to them in this life.

Get it back!

"Uncle Sun, no matter how much they offer, refuse them! Carrefour supermarket is the hard work of you and me, Uncle Sun. We are not in dire straits now and are short of money to save our lives, so why should we sell to them! I also plan to insert the Carrefour logo into Europe and the United States.

To the territory!" Fang Mingyuan replied decisively.

Sun Zhaolun smiled happily. He was so happy to have a boss who had the same goals as him.

"Uncle Sun, I estimate that Carefour Group's real intention is to focus on our trademarks. After they understand our determination, they will probably propose to acquire our trademarks. There is no need to discuss that!" Fang Mingyuan came on the phone.

sound.

Sun Zhaolun slapped his forehead. Fang Mingyuan's words reminded him that he was not a mainlander who was not very aware of the importance of trademarks, so he naturally understood the importance of this trademark. Fang Mingyuan had told him before that the Carrefour trademark,

In fact, it was originally derived from the transliteration of the name carefour.

"Master Fang, I have an idea. Carrefour Supermarket is everyone's hard work. Of course, it cannot be sold, let alone the trademark. However, there is no need for us to clearly reject the acquisition request of Carefour Group from the beginning. We can make concessions with them.

On the one hand, I think doing this can increase our popularity in the province and even the country, and use them to hype us up. On the other hand, it can also paralyze the Carefour Group, and perhaps slow down their pace of entering China, buying us time!

"

Fang Mingyuan slapped his thigh. This was really a sign of old age. Why didn't he think of this?

Foreign monks like to chant sutras. For a long time since China's reform and opening up, people have blindly believed that foreign products are better than domestic products. The moon in foreign countries is rounder than that in China. If Carrefour can borrow the money acquired by the carefour group

This shareholder style has rapidly expanded its popularity in China, which will undoubtedly be of great benefit to Carrefour's future expansion in the country!

It would be even better if we could use this to paralyze the top management of Carefour Group and make them think that they are sure to win! Anyway, the two companies negotiated for three to five months, or even half a year, but ultimately failed.

, there is nothing surprising in the world. Even if CareFour Group is dissatisfied, there is nothing they can do about it. Anyway, they are the ones who come to ask for acquisition, and they are not the ones who come to ask for merger.

"Uncle Sun, your idea is great! Talk, talk to them slowly!" Fang Mingyuan deliberately emphasized the word "slowly".

Don’t you want to acquire my company? I’ll kill you!
