Chapter 77 Philips' wishful thinking
.Another week passed in a flash, and Philips was so anxious that he jumped straight. Such a huge investigation team was trapped in a corner. The evidence was ready, but he couldn't move because of a starlight factory. It seemed that he ate a fish bone while eating fish, which was stuck in his throat and could not swallow it, and could not pull it out.
Although Xingguang products are seriously unsold in the European market, for some reason, Xingguang's energy-saving lamps still do not fall. According to Philips' calculations, in just over a month, Xingguang's book losses alone had already reached tens of millions of euros. However, it seems that Xingguang is still preparing to continue to lose like this. The 25th director of the Starlight Factory actually froze the shrewd Philips tens of thousands of people.
However, just when Philips was suffering and was in pain, the director of Starlight Factory finally came back, and the deputy minister of the Inner Mongolia Department of Philips Northern District immediately visited.
"One billion, this number is too many, we don't have that many." In the factory director's office, Zhang Yan wore a beret, had a toad glasses on his eyes, and a mask on his mouth to seal the door. Even if he was dressed like this, even if 007 arrived, he could not tell Zhang Yan's true identity.
"How many mercy are there?" The deputy minister looked at Zhang Yan with anticipation, as if the butcher was looking at a pig again.
"I'll do it..." Zhang Yan lowered his head and tickled for a long time before putting down the calculator. He said regretfully: "About 730,000, and he has to wait for a week."
Wait for a week? The deputy minister was so angry that he smoked. The pressure on him is so great that he couldn't wait a day, and he had to wait for a week. Moreover, the number is too small and it simply cannot meet the requirements of the headquarters. "This is not possible. You must give me 300 million energy-saving lamps, with a price of two yuan each."
"I can't do it, I still have something to do, please come back." Zhang Yantou didn't even raise his head. He directly bombed the deputy minister away. When the deputy minister reacted, he wanted to get a response when he was talking to Zhang Yan: "The factory director has no time. If he wants to talk, let Philips take a picture of someone with identity coming over. We have to negotiate with each other."
Zhang Yan was not worried about the other party's refusal. Although he burned more than 60 million euros in Europe in one month, accordingly, the Starlight brand has gradually been accepted by Europeans. The 8,000-hour trouble-free time and 3,000-hour fading lighting time have allowed the Starlight energy-saving lamp brand to penetrate into the hearts of European users bit by bit.
If one uses one billion yuan to create an aristocratic energy-saving lamp brand, it will not be a loss at all. Philips will definitely not be able to accept this situation. His ambition is so great that it is not as simple as driving Chinese energy-saving lamps out of the European market, but rather that it wants to kill them all. Becoming his Chinese-mouthed food, such a big plan, is also huge compared to the investment. Besides, if it really doesn't work, Zhang Yan can also file a lawsuit in Europe and stifle Chinese Philips in the bud.
Sure enough, the next day, Philips negotiated personnel level one level higher - the deputy general manager of the Northern District. However, this time the deputy general manager received a very embarrassing treatment and failed the guard's level. The reason was that it was unequal. Although the deputy general manager was furious, facing the four wolf dogs in the guard's hand, the deputy general manager could only return with hatred.
The matter was urgent. After negotiation, the deputy general manager of Philips China headquarters and the general manager of the Northern District took the initiative and came to the door with the authorization letter from the Philips headquarters. Finally, I heard that your products have been in a serious unsalable state in Europe. We are also deeply concerned and hope to help you solve your difficulties."
The vice president said it very tactfully, because according to previous analysis, the director of Starlight Factory has a very hot temper and will turn against others if he disagrees. According to the vice president's rich life experience, most people like this are soft but not hard. After all, there are still a few people who don't eat soft but not hard.
Sure enough, Zhang Yan's face became much softer. Although these changes were covered by the three major items, they couldn't see them very well. But his tone was much more relaxed. "Yes. Brother, you're so right. It's really hard for me. I had some money in my hands. I had enough to spend my whole life, but I didn't know the bad idea that the bastard had asked me to set up such a broken factory. Now I'm in my hand and I have to do it even if I don't do it."
"What do you think now?" The vice president was overjoyed and despised Zhang Yan. He was just a guy who was full and wanted to cross the line because he had a few bad money. He really didn't know how to be so arrogant. As long as he said a few words, this guy who covered his face tightly would reveal his bottom. He would not be obedient at that time.
"Persistence means victory. It is through this persistence that I become a billionaire. I think this persistence will accompany me throughout my life." Zhang Yan replied seriously, and was satisfied to see the vice president's face turned into the color of an eggplant.
"Director Zhang, you can really persevere. I wonder how you persisted in becoming a billionaire?" The vice president looked at Zhang Yan jealously, and really couldn't understand why such a Erlenzi would become a billionaire.
"Well, this is very simple. Grandpa has left me with hundreds of millions of dollars, and I have only one hundred million left today. If I insist on persisting, I may become a millionaire next year."
The vice president was knocked down by Zhang Yan's fierce answer. It took a while before he recovered. He asked carefully, for fear of another accident: "Well, I figured it out. Director Zhang is really an open-minded person, but the current situation in the factory is also very bad, so I still have to find a way to solve it."
"Hey, I have figured out what I have done and I just stick to it until next year. Actually, I want to do your business, but the first thing is that the price is too cheap and we can't do it. The second thing is that the factory is not working enough now, and the full screen European repayment support is supported, so it is really impossible to deliver the goods in the short term."
When the vice president heard that there was a door, he immediately became interested and said, "Well, this is easy to deal with. We only have two or seven cents per piece. This one is already one cent higher than similar manufacturers. If it is 500 million, it will be 50 million. It really cannot be higher. As for the lack of funds, I will go back to discuss with the headquarters to see if I can borrow some commercial loans."
Originally, according to the vice president's idea, Zhang Yan was not grateful at this time, but at least he should have had a smile on his face. However, beyond his expectations, Zhang Yan sat steadily in his seat and replied coldly for a long time: "No need to worry, I will stick to it. My grandfather Zeng hates foreigners the most, and I will not accept funding from foreigners."
The vice president just wanted to grab his head and vent his anger. Why did he encounter such a top-notch 25? However, in order to achieve the task, the vice president still patiently persuaded: "The times are different. Besides, Philips China is a joint venture company and has nothing to do with foreign capital."
"That's the second Japanese. Helping foreigners beat Chinese people is even more hateful than foreigners..." Zhang Yan said gritting his teeth. Yu Guang looked so angry that his face turned purple eggplant. He looked up and said, "I'm not scolding you, I'm scolding those bastards."
"It's okay, it's okay." The vice president almost collapsed and pointed at the monk and scolded the bald donkey. The factory manager Zhang was not stupid at all. After scolding him, he even made a statement in person. What's the matter? "What do you think you can do?"
"I'm really sorry for this. Why don't you do this? You invest part of it and then it's a loan. If it doesn't work, my grandfather Zeng will definitely not agree. Why don't you do this? Even if your loan is a shareholding, of course I will pay it back as soon as possible. Once you have enough money, I will start mass production."
"This... should be considered a loan." The vice president pondered for a moment. These conditions may not be bad. They were just out of habit, as conditions for bargaining, but the next moment he knew that doing so was a big mistake.
"Then there is nothing to talk about, please come back." Zhang Yan immediately issued an order to expel the guest and drove the vice president out without hesitation. Philips headquarters was so anxious that it jumped straight, and finally issued a dead order. It must be done before October 1st, otherwise Philips' related business departments would be laid off directly.
Under tremendous pressure, Philips China signed an agreement with Starlight Factory. Philips China injected 70 million yuan to acquire 4.5% of Starlight Factory's shares. This shares are not allowed to be transferred within three years. Starlight Factory has the right to repurchase 80 million yuan. In return, Starlight Factory sold 300 million energy-saving lamps to Philips at a price of 250 cents per piece. Of course, due to funding issues, the supply will be completed within one year. If it is not completed, Philips China will symbolically charge a certain amount of late payment fees, and this quantity becomes the final difference.
"No, it's up to 30 million, and our factory is only the number." Zhang Yan did not let go at all, forgetting the fact that his factory was worth one billion.
