Chapter 810: You have to scratch people and scratch them(1/2)
The second contact between Pierre Cardon and Monita occurred at 2 pm on April 18.
The negotiation place is Maxim's restaurant.
The reason why it was not arranged in the company conference room was mainly due to the side effects of the news about Alain Delon in the newspaper and the start of the model competition.
I have to say that today's Pilkington Company is very different from its usual situation.
Not only were there many phones and they were ringing endlessly, but there were also people coming and going, making it extremely chaotic.
There are several groups of reporters who come to the company every day, and there is also a constant flow of partners, service providers, and models from all walks of life.
Clothing sorting work requires a large number of professionals and sufficient space.
For this reason, Song Huagui couldn't help but start to worry about renting a smaller office.
It was decided that after this modeling competition is over, we will move again and rent out the entire guest room upstairs.
As for how to solve the current dilemma, she could only negotiate with Chongwenmen Hotel and borrow their conference room for a period of time.
On the contrary, there were not many customers at Maxim's Restaurant in the afternoon, from two to six o'clock.
Except for the occasional scattered foreign guests who come here to enjoy afternoon tea, there is no one else around.
The environment is quiet and there is plenty to eat and drink.
You should know that during this negotiation, Song Huagui was already prepared to achieve partial cooperation and decided to hand over part of the competition makeup business to Monita.
Under this premise, she also had to ensure that Ning Weimin exerted just the right amount of pressure on the other party and not go too far.
Of course, this is such an environment, which is most suitable for controlling the scene, relaxing the atmosphere, and conducive to them singing on the same stage.
What's more, Zheng Mingming didn't come alone. In addition to a female assistant, she was accompanied by Liu Xiaoqin, the person who introduced the matter.
So in this meeting, most of the participants were women.
There is no other way to make people feel more comfortable than to hold a salon and sit in Maxim's Restaurant while enjoying tea and discussions.
As expected, Song Huagui thought very carefully.
The subsequent development of this incident was generally based on the script designed by her and Ning Weimin.
At the beginning of the meeting, Monita and her group were very happy.
Ms. Zheng not only liked the environment of Maxim Restaurant and enjoyed Song Huagui's warm hospitality, but she was also extremely happy that the makeup project for the model competition was successfully completed.
She probably didn't expect that Picardon would be so generous and agreed to almost all her requests without even paying back the price.
So he expressed his gratitude to Song Huagui repeatedly and complimented her endlessly, almost as if he wanted to worship her as a sister on the spot.
But when Ning Weimin, who had a good idea, started to approach him about the possibility of cooperation in running a school, Zheng Mingming began to feel uncomfortable.
Because Ning Weimin is polite, polite, and polite, but there is a sharp and cold sword wrapped under his soft feathers.
He used language skillfully and firmly expressed Pierre Cardin's determination to get involved in the beauty and hairdressing field in the mainland.
Claiming that whether Monita is willing to cooperate or not, this matter is inevitable.
Not only do they need to open their own brand of training institutions, but they also need to open several beauty salons.
This is like hitting the snake seven inches in the face.
After all, it is obvious that pilcardon company has abundant capital and personal connections in the mainland.
If you really want to get involved, no one can stop it.
It’s hard to say whether we can become bigger and stronger, but being a disruptor is easy.
As a result, Ning Weimin's politeness and politeness in discussing matters, and even the generous cooperation conditions he had just reached, in turn, turned into a constraint on Monita's Zheng Mingming.
She could neither blame the other party for using her power to overpower others, nor could she bear to give up the long-term profits that this big customer could create.
I am also afraid that if cooperation cannot be negotiated, Pierre Cardon will really stand on its own.
But I agree, but I'm afraid that Picardon will turn around and occupy the magpie's nest, and end up making wedding clothes for others in vain.
All in all, I was in a dilemma and had a huge headache.
This kind of worrying about gains and losses makes it impossible to be as tough as in the beginning in actual negotiations.
Zheng Mingming first agreed to establish a joint venture company to jointly develop the beauty and hairdressing market in the mainland.
Then they had to agree to expand the scope of cooperation.
In addition to running schools, the two parties will also cooperate in the development and production of beauty and hairdressing physical stores and beauty and hairdressing products.
Then the pricing of shares invested by both parties began to collapse, and the share ratios began to retreat.
The conditions of 1 million and 10% of the shares, and at most 20% of the shares, do not exist at all.
He directly asked Ning Weimin to expand up and down, which doubled the advantage.
Pilkington Company still invested 2 million, but accounted for 40% of the shares of the joint venture.
If necessary in the future, we can jointly inject capital in proportion.
Then there are the issues of priority and exclusivity.
The two parties have reached a consensus that without the permission of one party, neither party shall introduce third-party investors or transfer the equity of the joint venture company.
The joint venture established by the two parties is the only vehicle for both parties to develop the beauty and hairdressing market in mainland China.
No party may conduct related commercial and promotional activities through other company carriers in the form of sole proprietorship or joint venture.
Pierre Cardon has the right to prioritize and hire students trained by Monita.
The products and makeup artists of the joint venture company must also give priority to meeting the actual needs of Pierre Cardon.
Subsequently, there are also the specific management and operation methods and development direction of the joint venture, which require coordination and discussion by both parties.
Ning Weimin, on behalf of Pierre Cardon, promised Zheng Mingming that he would not directly participate in the specific operation and management of the joint venture, but requested financial supervision rights.
Zheng Mingming, on the other hand, will build a mature talent training system within five years and open three to four chain stores in Beijing to initially open up the primary market for professional beauty and hairdressing products in Beijing.
After five years, if the joint venture is operating well, consider developing to the south.
We will deploy in Shanghai and Huacheng in order to develop exclusive brands of high-end cosmetics.
In short, in terms of overall rhythm, Zheng Mingming gave in step by step, while Ning Weimin pressed closely.
For example, Ning Weimin is like a master of PUA.
Relying on the strength of Pierre Cardon, he brainwashed Zheng Mingming in a condescending yet extremely gentle manner.
From time to time, he complained about Monita's arrogance, emphasizing that he was very sincere, but was treated insincerely.
Zheng Mingming was like an animal tempted by a carrot but afraid of being whipped. He was completely controlled by Ning Weimin.
In the end, there was only one point that both parties struggled with and were unwilling to compromise on, and that was the joint venture's flagship brand.
Regarding the name of the joint venture company, although Zheng Mingming could not disagree with Ning Weimin's joint name plan.
However, Zheng Mingming insisted on using only Monita for the naming of the school institution and the use of commercial brands.
This is a dispute over core demands.
To say that Ning Weimin still lacked some experience, because he saw victory in sight, he unconsciously became anxious.
For a while, I only focused on arguing with reason and forgot to convince others with virtue.
All the skills of beautiful language and euphemism are thrown away, and only sharp words are used to forcefully force people.
Zheng Mingming, who was fifteen years older, almost cried.
Fortunately, Song Huagui intervened in time and began to use pleasant words to eliminate the hostility between each other, and used sweet words to smooth out the wrinkles and negative emotions between Zheng Mingming's brows, thus maintaining each other's dignity.
Otherwise, the negotiations will reach a deadlock, and the harmony that the two sides have maintained on the surface will cease to exist.
If it doesn't work well, the talks collapse, making the originally good situation become harsh and complicated.
Ning Weimin was not stupid, and he quickly realized his problem.
I almost lost my grace and forgot the principle of conquering the enemy without fighting.
Now, it's obviously time to slow down.
So I quickly peeed, stood up and ran to the toilet.
However, this did not escape the embarrassment.
Liu Xiaoqin actually chased after him and blocked the door of the toilet, waiting for him to come out and teach him a lesson.
"Why are you like this? You don't want to be ignored. I didn't expect you to have such a dignified appearance. You are still not a man!"
"Ouch. You are still complaining."
"Then what's wrong? I introduced this matter and arranged it. You just don't give me face. Why don't you give me a few words?"
Ning Weimin was really surprised by Liu Xiaoqin's frankness, generous ignorance, and interference without any hesitation.
I thought to myself that this aunt Liu Xiaoqin has a really bad temper, and she dares to say anything even if she doesn't like it.
He is generous enough, but a bit heartless.
No wonder decades later, everyone said that the 1980s was a time when anyone with courage could win, and the same was true for celebrities.
