Chapter 241 Electronic Mall 2
Diana Rockefeller almost slammed the table when she heard what Bao Zixuan said. How could so many demands be so good? We need to save money and have convenient transportation. If there is such a place, please find one for me, but now we are all cooperating. This was what was agreed upon at the beginning. They were responsible for finding stores in the United States, and Heiyun was responsible for training personnel. If you can't even find a small store now, then what qualifications do you have to discuss cooperation with the other party?
Now it seems that we can only find a new store according to Bao Zixuan's requirements. This is the current top priority. If there are no stores, why talk about building a hypermarket?
Diana Rockefeller: "I will arrange for people to look for stores, and I promise to do it according to your requirements. Now you should have a plan in mind for how many large-scale stores we will open in the first batch!"
Bao Zixuan: "Only the first six cities in the United States are New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta and Detroit." In fact, Bao Zixuan also has selfish motives. The places where she wants to open stores are where mobile phone signal towers are built, so that regardless of whether Whether it is a quick promotion of mobile phones or a promotion of the overall sales of the store. But now these cities are big cities in the United States, which does not make others doubt it.
Phil Hawkins: "Although Bao is not an American, the cities he chose are very representative. I think it is ok. The rest will be left to us to find the store, and Bao will take care of it when the time comes. But the recruitment and training of personnel Leave one piece to Heiyun, you are professionals in this area after all."
Bao Zixuan: "These are all fine, but let's talk about the name of this mall and the equity distribution ratio."
Hearing this, both Phil Hawkins and Diana Rockefeller knew that the critical moment had come, and that everything before was all false. Now we get to the point. No matter how good the relationship is, when doing business, one must calculate the accounts clearly.
Diana Rockefeller: "The store can be called Rockefeller Electronics Store. Using my last name as the brand itself will increase its value. As for the shares, the Rockefeller family holds 51% of the shares, and the remaining 49% will be divided between the two of you. How about it!"
Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "Not so good! First of all, the name of the mall cannot be called Rockefeller, which is not in line with the development and positioning of modern electronic products. Also, if you want to hold 51% of the shares, then I might as well do it myself! I The proposed plan requires me to do many things, and now that I have said it, it doesn’t count, so why should I do it? Is it just to please the Rockefeller family?”
Diana Rockefeller: "What's your name, and how are you going to divide the shares?"
In fact, when she proposed the distribution plan, she knew that there would be opposition, but she was just testing it out. There is no intention to actually divide according to this plan. The three companies are now about the same strength, at least on the surface. After all, this is not the era 100 years ago when the Rockefeller family could control the entire American oil industry.
In fact, when Diana Rockefeller said this, her other idea was to let the other party know about the Rockefeller family so that Bao Zixuan would not be able to talk too much.
Bao Zixuan: "The store can give the Rockefeller family 25% of the shares, but later when recruiting shareholders, everyone will have to reduce it by the same proportion."
"As for Phil, you can have as many shares as you want, as long as you can afford it. This company will be listed in the future, and we will recruit more shareholders."
Phil Hawkins: "If I can spend $200 million, how many shares can I take?"
Bao Zixuan: "The first batch of investment is US$1 billion, and you provide 200 million for 20% of the shares. In the future, we will also accept a lot of customer investment, and when expanding to other countries, we will also accept the participation of powerful local families and businessmen. "
Phil Hawkins: "Then I'll do as you say, but the name of the mall also needs to be decided."
Bao Zixuan: "I think it should be called Best Buy! This name was successful in the previous life, but now I have registered it in advance, so I guess it won't be bad."
Not only is the name Best Buy, this time Bao Zixuan also wants to copy the development model of the brand in its previous life. This is what I think and do now, but if you want to achieve the success of Best Buy, you still need an excellent professional manager. If a company wants to develop rapidly and healthily without a good leader, it is impossible for a company to do so. Miss Diana Rockefeller's character is simply not suitable for managing a company.
Everyone felt good when they heard this name, and it fits the characteristics of American naming. It should be able to adapt to the American market. It seems that Bao Zixuan really wants to run this store well, at least not selfishly.
Phil Hawkins: "It's a great name, and the share allocation is reasonable. What do you think about Best Buy's management? I think Diana is a good choice. He is a talented student at Wharton School. A lot. The store planning is all done by her, and she is also very familiar with business operations, what do you think? Sure!"
Bao Zixuan: "It's not a good choice. It's not that I underestimate her ability. Miss Diana has not managed any specific projects yet. Many of them are just empty talk and paper talks. At most, she makes suggestions within the family. She is responsible for such a huge project all at once. I'm afraid she won't be able to handle the project. If Miss Diana wants to work at Best Buy, the most suitable job would be in finance, and forget about the rest!"
Hearing Bao Zixuan say that he was not good, this made Diana Rockefeller, who had always been competitive, very unhappy. Why should this kid say that he can't do it? But after hearing the other party's analysis, he felt that what he said was quite reasonable, and he didn't know how to refute it for a while.
But due to her personality, Diana Rockefeller didn't like to admit defeat. Then he said: "How do you know I can't do it without giving it a try? I grew up in a business family. I have been in business longer than you, so I will definitely do it well. How about we take a gamble? What do you think?" "
Bao Zixuan: "Okay! How do you want to bet?"
Diana Rockefeller: "What if I can achieve the company's expected growth goals as president of Best Buy?"
Bao Zixuan didn't expect that this woman would dare to play a betting agreement with him. It seemed that she was well prepared. However, you should not give in at this time, especially in front of women, and say: "If we set a goal and you can achieve it, I will lose 5% of my shares to you. If you can't achieve it, you will lose 5% of my shares and quit the management." "
Diana Rockefeller: "If I accomplish my goal, you will have to apologize to me in front of everyone for looking down on me."
Bao Zixuan: "No problem, but can you make the decision regarding the shares? After all, the shares are held by the Rockefeller family, not you, Diana."
After Bao Zixuan finished speaking, the air suddenly became quiet, and it was indeed as he said. The shares don't yet belong to Diana Rockefeller, which is a nuisance.
However, Phil Hawkins was thinking about how to save Diana and ignored Bao Zixuan's feelings, and suddenly said: "If Diana doesn't pay by then, it will be deducted from my shares."
Bao Zixuan laughed a little when he heard this, but he also understood a lot of things. Doing business is about interests, never talk about friendship. No one can be relied upon at the critical moment, and now it seems that I am still an outsider.
He has always regarded Phil Hawkins as a friend. It seems that in many cases it is better to understand, otherwise he will definitely be the one to suffer. Now it's just a small thing to tell who you are closer to, and when it's critical, I won't shoot you in the back.
Bao Zixuan said: "Okay, you can think about it carefully. But how to determine this, we have to outline a contract. It's not good to not be able to explain it at that time. Miss Diana, we will set a corporate development goal for the company. If there is no problem Just follow the contract.”
