Wei Kang smiled slightly and quickly replied.
"It seems that you are very well informed, but I have already finished talking to Shiseido."
"Mr. Wei, it's okay. After all, there are no secrets between colleagues."
"Then why are you asking me? You should be very clear about the conditions they offer."
"Mr. Wei, don't get me wrong. I don't mean anything else. In fact, I can tell you clearly that Olaiya has given up cooperation."
"Oh?" Wei Kang didn't expect Sheng Changya to say it so directly, so he asked, "Then what do you mean by asking me that?"
Sheng Changya slowly typed: "I have internal information about Shiseido. Is President Wei interested?"
These words aroused Wei Kang's interest. If Ou Laiya had no intention of competing, then the internal information sent by Sheng Changya at this time would be worth recalling.
"Very interested, please tell me."
"Let's talk in detail over the phone."
"good."
After the call was connected, Sheng Changya took a deep breath and told the news she had learned in one breath.
"In short, I know senior people at Shiseido, and this is the inside information. Although I don't know whether you have reached an agreement, I still like the effect of this whitening drug. I don't want the pearl to be covered with dust and disappear from the market. So sincerely I want to remind Mr. Wei."
Wei Kang's first reaction was not to believe it, and he questioned reflexively: "Do you have any evidence for saying that?"
"You are so unreasonably suspicious of Shiseido, saying that they are just trying to deceive my trust to obtain this prescription. In fact, the original intention is to kill competitors, and you have no intention of launching subsequent products."
"It's hard for me to believe this without evidence."
Sheng Changya was silent for a moment and said: "Mr. Wei, I have no real evidence. I just know that Shiseido has acquired many small companies and some new skin care technologies over the years, but their product line has never been too big." Upgrading and not launching new brands, these companies and technologies have disappeared.”
She hesitated for a while and then added: "Just like the domestic nurses who disappeared from the market after being acquired by L'Oreal. This incident caused many people to resist the acquisition of domestic brands by foreign brands. Although the company's senior management It is strongly denied, but it is a tacit acceptance within the company.”
"Mr. Wei, you also know that many times, without direct evidence, we can only deduce facts from conclusions."
"The fact is that before the acquisition of Little Nurse, Garnier had just entered the country, and its sales were indeed very average. However, after acquiring Little Nurse, Garnier's sales increased by leaps and bounds, and it eroded the entire Little Nurse market in a short period of time."
Wei Kang suddenly felt horrified. The dangers of this shopping mall were beyond his imagination. It was hard to believe that there was such a vicious intention behind Taijiro Koizumi's well-prepared plan.
He still wanted to struggle: "Then when I sign the contract with Shiseido, I can ask that the terms of developing the product and launching it as soon as possible be added. If the contract is not followed later, I am qualified to annul the contract immediately."
Sheng Changya asked calmly: "Even so, it's already half a year later. They can start a tug-of-war with you later. Commercial litigation is very time-consuming and long-lasting. Mr. Wei, you have the time and energy to do it." Can you cope with it?”
"Moreover, even if you win in the end and get the prescription back, Shiseido has already learned the relevant information and can launch imitations to seize the market in advance."
"In short, if they win, the prescription will be ruined. If they lose, they will also take away your product."
"In business, nothing is impossible."
Wei Kang was silent. He subconsciously felt that Sheng Changya was right, but he was unwilling to believe her completely and always wanted to confirm it again.
Seeing that he had not spoken for a long time, Sheng Changya understood the other party's concerns and said, "Mr. Wei, if you still have doubts, you can put forward new requests to test them. I am just telling you a piece of news. The specific decision is still up to you. That’s it, don’t bother me anymore, goodbye!”
After hanging up the phone, Wei Kang sat on a chair and looked at the two plans in front of him.
His face gradually became gloomy, and a feeling of boredom emerged in his chest.
Could it be that I was really tricked by the little book?
I have to find this Xiaoquan to confirm.
He hesitated again and again and dialed Koizumi Taijiro's phone number.
There was a bit of noise on the other end of the phone, as if he was in a restaurant.
Xiaoquan kept apologizing in a low voice: "Weisang, I'm very sorry. I'm having dinner with my colleagues. I'll go out to answer your call right away."
Soon, the voices grew quiet.
Xiaoquan smiled and asked: "Weisang, I'm glad to receive your call. What are your orders?"
Wei Kang calmed down and asked in a deep voice: "I compared your plans with P&G's, and I feel that yours is more in line with my expectations, but I want to add a clause."
Xiaoquan was overjoyed, and you could hear the excitement in his voice through the phone: "Hi, Wei Sang, just say it, we will definitely do it."
Wei Kang said word by word: "I would like to add a clause. Shiseido must develop a new product line using whitening prescriptions within six months and launch it in the country. If it cannot be done, this contract will be canceled immediately. If you can put this condition in Add it and I can choose your plan.”
Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand why Wei Kang put forward such a condition. He asked confusedly: "Wei Sang, didn't we have a good talk this afternoon? Why do we suddenly add such a clause? This clause It seems a bit unreasonable, as we can’t launch new products so quickly.”
Wei Kang interrupted him and said: "You said in the afternoon that the project team is already in place and that new products can be developed immediately after the contract is signed. The marketing plan is also ready. How come you can't do it within half a year? I see what you are doing With good preparation, there will be no problem in launching the product in China within three months.”
Xiaoquan was speechless and couldn't find a reason to refute. He hesitated for a long time before saying: "Weisang, how about this? I can't make the decision on this condition for the time being. I want to give feedback to the headquarters before I answer you. How about it?"
"Haha, no need." Wei Kang sneered and said: "I can see your true colors. You have no intention of sincerely cooperating with me. The conditions you proposed are all fraudulent means. Although I am not in the FMCG industry, But there is also internal information, so there is no need for Shiseido to use its usual method of killing competitors through acquisitions on me."
"Ah? Where did you get this news? This is a competitor's slander against our company, and it is definitely not true." Koizumi defended eagerly with a cold sweat on his head.
However, Wei Kang did not listen and hung up the phone directly.
Koizumi called back frantically. This contract was of great importance and must not be left in his hands.
"Dudududu..."
Listening to the busy signal on the phone, he knew that the other party had probably blocked him.
Koizumi's face was livid, and he punched the wall hard: "Ba Ge, who is stabbing you in the back? I'm so angry!"
"Damn it, Wei, since you are so disrespectful, don't blame me for teaching you a lesson."
The veins on Koizumi's forehead popped out, his expression was distorted, and he made a phone call.
"Mr. Denek? That's right. Our cooperation with Sanqing failed. As far as I know, L'Oreal also gave up. Now this whitening drug is in your pocket. Congratulations. "
****
Wei Kang sat on the chair, his chest heaving, and there was a surge of anger in his heart.
This damn little book has a smiley face on the outside and talks in a dazzling way, but secretly it has such dirty thoughts.
I was almost fooled. If I really believed them and cooperated with Shiseido, the financial loss would be a trivial matter. This prescription would probably be snatched away by the other party.
The whole thing made him as sick as eating a fly.
This company will be completely blacklisted from now on.
No, from now on all companies in Sakura Country will be blacklisted.
After a while, he finally calmed down and regained his composure.
As a result, they had no choice but to cooperate with Procter & Gamble in Eagle Country.
He picked up P&G's plan, looked at it carefully, and made up his mind again.
Find the contact information of P&G Vice President Deneke and call him.
A burst of hearty laughter came from the phone.
"Dear Mr. Wei, I'm waiting for your call."
A trace of doubt flashed in Wei Kang's mind, but he didn't think much about it.
After thinking about it for a while, he said: "I compared the plans provided by various companies, and finally felt that your plan was more suitable, so I decided to cooperate with Procter & Gamble. I hope we will have a pleasant cooperation in the future."
Denecke said with a smile: "That's great. I also look forward to having a pleasant cooperation with Mr. Wei in the future."
"However," he said calmly, "Mr. Wei, maybe our conditions have to change."
Wei Kang was stunned: "The conditions are going to change?"
A premonition that something bad was going to happen came to mind.
Deneke smiled proudly and said: "Mr. Wei, it's like this. From a business point of view, the conditions we can provide are consistent with the market. Your whitening prescription was previously purchased by three companies, so naturally we We will offer you the best terms.”
"But now," Denecke said slowly, "I heard that the other two companies have given up competition. I'm afraid you have no other choice. So our conditions must be appropriately lowered. This is reasonable, isn't it? ?”
Wei Kang held a breath in his chest and almost couldn't get up. He almost yelled: "You are blackmailing, do you understand?"
Deneke chuckled and said: "Mr. Wei, you are wrong about this. We also follow the market. The plan in the afternoon is just the first round of quotations. You can increase the price afterwards, and naturally we can also reduce the price. It is very reasonable. Business behavior. Please don’t read too much into it.”
"In business negotiations, since we have become the only buyer, the cooperation plan must be revised. When can we see Mr. Wei again for negotiation?"
Wei Kang clenched his fists and dug his nails deeply into his flesh. He didn't notice at all, but said coldly: "Can you tell me about the new quotation?"
Deneke was silent for five seconds and said quickly: "Eighty million, buy it out at one price. This is our final offer. This price is not low, you know..."
What he responded to was a "pop" sound.
