Chapter 745 Cooperation Sincerity (Part 2)

While Lin Jiayi was talking to Mi Feifei, Mr. Baker was also talking to the president of Audemars Piguet.

"Boss, you can't believe who I saw at the exhibition site?" Mr. Baker didn't have the composure he had when he was in front of Guo Tailai. The current president called: "Mr.T! TheMr.T! I met that Mr. T!"

"Which Mr. T?" The president was confused on the phone, not knowing what Mr. Baker was talking about.

"The T of ZondaT, the T of the big red flag T!" Mr. Baker said quickly, he could no longer suppress his excitement: "He made a watch, can you imagine a watch with the T prefix? A brand new hairspring that is ten times better than the Parachrom hairspring just launched by Rolex, has a stunning blue color, which he calls a blue-blooded nobleman. I have won the opportunity to cooperate with him, but the detailed conditions have not yet been discussed.”

"Wait a minute, calm down! Speak slowly! Describe it in detail!" The president understood a little bit, and also knew that Mr. Baker was in a state of excitement at the moment, and quickly ordered Mr. Baker to calm him down and said slowly: "You met Who is it? I heard it right, the T? Are you kidding me?"

"Yes, BOSS!" Mr. Baker calmed down and replied quickly.

"Oh, my God!" Baker calmed down, but the president did not: "Quick! Quick! Tell me, what did Mr. T do? How can we cooperate?"

...

It's not that Guo Tailai is not interested in the latest jewelry designs, but he took a look along the road in the morning, and basically he has seen all the things he is interested in. The synthetic field of view that can be observed at will within a range of 20 meters allows him to see the high-definition appearance of those jewelry watches without getting close, so there is no need to waste time looking at them one by one.

Meeting Mr. Baker today was also an accident. I didn’t expect Mr. Baker to switch to Audemars Piguet. He is still interested in cooperating with Guo Tailai, and even helped Guo Tailai propose the concept of a sub-brand. The little old man is pretty good, but I don’t know if Audemars Piguet will agree.

Although Mr. Baker asked Guo Tailai to give him a day, it is obvious that Guo Tailai underestimated Mr. Baker's position in Audemars Piguet. He had only left for more than an hour and had just returned to the studio. After calibrating the W16 engine, Lin Jiayi called.

Mr. Baker and an on-site vice president of Audemars Piguet went to the booth of Zhengyifang Technology. After seeing the Panlong watch and hairspring samples with a high-power magnifying glass, the vice president started negotiations with Lin Jiayi on the spot.

so refreshing? Guo Tailai was also a little surprised: "Aren't they afraid that the data of that hairspring will not meet the description in the promotional materials?"

"Start the negotiation first to occupy the position." Lin Jiayi sees it clearly. Audemars Piguet is indeed very sincere, but it is a lie to say that he trusts Guo Tailai and Zhengyifang Technology: "Anyway, the test results will be available tomorrow at the most. They Let’s start talking now, and the conditions cannot be negotiated in a day or two, but it seems to be full of sincerity, which definitely gives us a different feeling.”

Smart people, no wonder they can do business with a century-old brand? Guo Tailai couldn't figure out the twists and turns, and had to be reminded by Lin Jiayi. Fortunately, Guo Tailai is not worried about the performance of that hairspring, those data are real. If the hairspring technology is authorized, it should not be a big problem. Anyway, the price is between tens of millions of dollars, and it does not involve other extra things. The possibility of negotiation is very high. There have never been any sub-brands.

Lin Jiayi took full responsibility, and Guo Tailai continued to be his own shopkeeper, happily discussing the adjustment of W16 with those engineers. They are all technicians, and everyone has a very enthusiastic atmosphere when talking about the engine.

It's a pity that Long Fei is not here now, he is happily leading the team in China to adjust the motorcycle engines to the best condition with Wan Ming, but he also said that in half a month at most, he will rush from China Come and participate in the tuning work of W16.

Watching everyone talk about technology in full swing, Guo Tailai even thought, do you want to play with an unprecedented 24-cylinder car engine? Build one by hand? Is a W-shaped distribution or an X-shaped distribution suitable?

Guo Tailai still underestimated the sincerity of Audemars Piguet's cooperation. In fact, Guo Tailai underestimated Mr. T's position in Audemars Piguet's cognition. Now in the whole world, people who want to get a car with a real T prefix are estimated to line up from London to Paris. Those celebrities and aristocrats are willing to pay a price beyond the imagination of ordinary people for this T prefix?

In this case, it would be the biggest joke in the world if Audemars Piguet pushes TaylorG, who is willing to cooperate, out. It is rare for them to have the opportunity to get in touch with Guo Tailai for the first time. In addition, Mr. Baker and another vice president have seen Panlong’s god-like workmanship with their own eyes. That night, the president of Audemars Piguet and a creative director He rushed to London and discussed the conditions proposed by Lin Jiayi with the vice president and Mr. Baker overnight.

The next morning, Guo Tailai had just had breakfast at the hotel and before he set off, Lin Jiayi received a call from Mr. Baker. The president of Audemars Piguet arrived, hoping to negotiate with him about the terms of cooperation between the two parties. Mr. Baker also brought good news. Regarding the blue niobium hairspring, Audemars Piguet is willing to pay 50 million US dollars to buy the exclusive global license, or 35 million to buy the production license other than Huaxia.

In addition, Audemars Piguet agreed to the condition of adding a global spokesperson. After all, Lin Jiayi mentioned here that Miss World was only elected in December last year. After checking the information, they also felt that Chu Fei's image and temperament were in line with Audemars Piguet's product positioning, and that Chu Fei, as the global spokesperson of ZondaT, has already It has received great attention from all over the world, and there is no problem with its popularity and image.

The two sides still have differences for the time being, only the sub-brand of TaylorG. Lin Jiayi was only willing to give the other party 5% of the shares at the beginning. Of course, this part was originally for the other party to bargain.

"The sincerity of Audemars Piguet seems to be quite sufficient." When Lin Jiayi answered the phone and reported to Guo Tailai, she also affirmed their quick response.

"Continue to talk." Guo Tailai also agreed: "You talk about detailed cooperation, and I will make a small gift for Audemars Piguet, and also increase your negotiation capital by the way."

Next, we must talk about it in detail. There are many clauses and many parts involved, including the operation and income of watches handcrafted by Guo Tailai, brand ownership, including the ownership of the designed movements and watch models, and the income from the parts produced by Audemars Piguet, etc. , all need a reasonable allocation pattern. Even after the negotiation is completed, when it comes to the contract, professional lawyers may have to dig out every clause word by word. It may take at least a month or even longer to reach a cooperation on paper.
