Invincible Smart-Guy System

I had lunch at Nie Minhui's villa in Hangzhou at 1: 30. Qing Wu drove Nie Minhui and Zhang Yunfeng to the main company of Jili City. Nie Minhui's evaluation and negotiation team had been staying at a star hotel in Hangzhou City. When the three of them arrived, the team had arrived first and Jili arranged for them to rest in the central meeting room.    

    

Nie Minhui had a great reputation in the domestic business world and Ji Li also attached great importance to her. The representative who came to negotiate this time was Ji Li's old head, Fang Chengming. He had great hopes for today's negotiation. Nie Minhui's cash flow was very powerful. Buying the Volvo was just a piece of cake for her. Secondly, if she could use this opportunity to get closer to Nie Minhui... In the future, it could also bring a lot of help in the business. After all, Nie Minhui's identity was not just the chairman of the Zhongyu Group. She was also the Su Family's daughter-in-law.    

    

Zhang Yunfeng participated in this negotiation as Nie Minhui's assistant. On this side were himself and Nie Minhui, as well as the six people on her team. On the other side were the Jili people led by Fang Chengming. Just like on this side, there were also eight people.    

    

When the negotiation started, Nie Minhui went straight to the point and took out her research documents. She said, "CEO Fang, since everyone is sitting at a table, then I won't beat around the bush. The intention of the Zhongyu Group to buy the Volvo. You should already know about it, but the lowest price you can give us is 1.2 billion USD. After my team and I appraised this price, I think there's still some water in it."    

    

Fang Chengming smiled and said, "Nie Dong, regarding the Volvo, you're actually the same as the outside world. There are certain distortions to the Volvo, so we'll begin to suspend part of the Volvo's business. The main reason is that after a period of settling down and development, Jili is still inclined to develop our own brand. If we invest too much energy into the Volvo, it will only affect our own brand. As for our own Jili brand, although it can't be compared to the Volvo, in terms of profitability, it still exceeds the Volvo by a lot. Next, the company intends to simplify its business and focus on developing its own business. That's why it has the intention to sell the Volvo."    

    

Nie Minhui looked at Fang Chengming and smiled faintly. She said, "Manager Fang, since we are going to buy it, there is no need to say so much. There is no need to say anything. We all know what is going on with the Volvo now. First of all, after the brand localization, Jili's research and development of the new model has not been smooth. Or rather, the Volvo was originally given to Jiili because it was going downhill. Jili himself did not have the ability to turn the situation around. The situation at the beginning was indeed not bad. That was because the people of China had an impulse to spend on this brand. After this impulse passed, the drawbacks and deficiencies of the Volvo are also revealed."    

    

"Secondly, the technology could not be replaced, which also caused the gap between the Volvo and the mainstream high-end brands to gradually increase. Even if the old model is upgraded, it will only change the soup and stir-fry the cold rice. If you restore the production of XC90 now, I'm afraid it will be very awkward for you in the market, right? In the past few years, it was indeed a rather excellent SUV. But in the past few years, in the same market, Audi Q5, BMW M3, Mercedes-Benz GLK, Kadiak SRX... There was also the high-end Japanese SUV, especially the MDX, Toyota, Lexus, and other brands that had launched new models. They also had their own unique technologies. You used the XC90 from a few years ago. How are you going to compete with them for the market? The same situation basically appeared in every model of the Volvo. Under such circumstances, the Volvo had always been in a state of loss. Moreover, the losses were getting more and more serious. If they did not quickly sell the Volvo... It will affect Ji Li's own profits to a large extent. "    

    

"There's more!" Nie Minhui was aggressive and said, "After these two years of suffering, the Volvo's brand value has fallen greatly. Now that the Volvo is mentioned, who would associate it with the high-end brands? I'm afraid everyone's impression of it is just a brand that will die sooner or later. "    

    

Fang Chengming's expression was a little awkward. What Nie Minhui said was the truth, but to say it so directly was still a little hard to accept.    

    

Then, he laughed coyly and said, "Director Nie, since you value the Volvo, I believe you can also see its own value. This brand has been synonymous with safety in the eyes of consumers for many years. The fact is that its safety performance has been outstanding until now. Its reputation is also very good. This is one of the values of the Volvo's brand! "    

    

Nie Minhui smiled slightly and said, "Let me tell you the truth, CEO Fang. Even if I buy the Volvo, I will not use the brand of the Volvo. In my eyes, the value of this brand is almost zero."    

    

As she spoke, Nie Minhui said, "How about this? We will separate the Volvo. You take out this brand, the logo, and keep it for yourself. You can sell the production line and the employees to me. What do you think?"    

    

Fang Chengming was stunned for a moment. Do you not want the Volvo brand? Are you kidding me? Isn't this the same as buying a turtle shell to return a pearl? If the Volvo doesn't have this brand, then it's even less valuable. Maybe I can buy it for 600 to 700 million USD? Alright, say 700 to 800 million?    

    

But if that is the case, I will definitely not sell it!    

    

What a joke, you bought all the hardware equipment and staff. What's the use of keeping the Volvo brand? Set it in front of the Jiili Global Bird's car? Isn't that asking for a scolding? Or placing it in front of the beauty leopard? Don't joke around, if this brand were to be left in my hands, it wouldn't be worth a single cent.    

    

Before this negotiation, both parties had their own ideal price and bottom line price. Zhang Yunfeng and Nie Minhui's bottom line price was at most 1.2 billion. This was also the psychological price that Jili revealed. But Zhang Yunfeng and Nie Minhui's ideal price was one billion, while Jili's bottom line price was one billion.    

    

Thinking that his baseline price was only 100 million, Fang Chengming smacked his lips. He said, "Director Nie, you're really not an ordinary person. You don't even follow the rules when it comes to buying. Now that you mention it, it really makes me feel ashamed. "    

    

As he spoke, Fang Chengming seemed to not believe it. He looked at Nie Minhui. He asked. : "Could it be that you are not interested in this brand when purchasing Volvo? If that's the case, I really can't figure out what exactly attracted you to the Volvo. "    

    

What she meant was that she felt that Nie Minhui was just trying to fool her. What she really wanted was the Volvo brand.    

    

Nie Minhui did not hesitate to say, "Take out the Volvo brand. 800 million USD. I will sign the contract immediately."    

    

"This..." Fang Chengming was a little confused. It seemed that Nie Minhui was not joking with him. If he agreed to her, looking at her attitude, he would definitely sign the contract without hesitation. If that was the case, he would suffer a huge loss. What was the point of just asking for a trademark? This brand was destined to never rise again.    

    

Fang Chengming thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, Director Nie. We can't separate the brand and hardware for sale. I hope you can understand."    

    

Nie Minhui nodded and said lightly, "I don't need to lie to you here. My reputation in doing business. You must know that. Since I have said it today... I won't use the Volvo brand. If the purchase is completed in the future... You can naturally see how the truth is proven. "    

    

Fang Chengming understood in his heart that Nie Minhui was the chairman of the Zhongyu Group. A large entrepreneur with a net worth of 10 billion dollars, her integrity and credibility in doing business. It was publicly acknowledged in the industry. Since she had said so, then she definitely wouldn't go back on her word. Otherwise, in order to kill him for a price of one or two hundred million dollars, she went back on her word. If this matter were to spread out, it would have a huge impact on her.    

    

If that was the case, Nie Minhui must not have lied to him. She really did not want the token of the Volvo. If that was the case, what should he do?    

    

If he sold it to her, he would definitely have to lower the price. Otherwise, she might leave at any time. His biggest bargaining chip was the brand value of the Volvo. If the other party did not pay attention to this, then the Volvo would not be very attractive to her. But if he did not sell it to her, then what would be the next step of the Volvo?    

    

Every month, she would suffer losses. Every month, she would have to bear the losses herself. Jiili had spent a lot of effort to buy a company that wanted to create his own blood, but he didn't expect that it would develop into a bleeding wound. He had to make blood with all his might to make up for the loss here. If this situation continued, in the end, the Volvo would lose even more money. The brand value of the Volvo was completely worthless. All the assets of the Volvo. Only the hardware facilities would be sold at a low price.    

    

Then it would be a f * cking loss! Even his underpants were at a loss!    

    

A good breed of dog, even if it was sick, could still be sold for a little price. But if it died of illness... Then he could only buy some meat.    

    

After thinking about it, Fang Chengming felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer! He wanted to lower the price, but how much should he put in? It was not something that he could make the decision on his own. He had to communicate with the other directors and shareholders. Everyone had to make a concession before they could inform Nie Minhui.    

    

Then, Fang Chengming said, "How about this, Director Nie. There are many things that I have to discuss with the board of directors. Give me a day's time. I will give you an answer tomorrow."    

    

"No." Nie Minhui shook her head and said, "I am really in a hurry. I can't wait anymore. No matter what the result is, I must get the final result today!"    

    

Nie Minhui really did not want to wait anymore. She really wanted to buy the Volvo now. Then, she immediately returned to Yanjing and started to independently sell the new materials of the Zhongyu Group. Then, she would set up a new business together with Zhang Yunfeng. At that time, Zhang Yunfeng's new technology would be entered and the new product would be produced. After the Volvo was reconstructed, it would resume production and the new materials would be sent to the Volvo production workshop.    

    

Everything happened naturally. Now, everything was ready except for the east wind. Not to mention Zhang Yunfeng, even he could not sit still. Therefore, she must have a definite result today!    

    

However, when Fang Chengming heard her words, he lost his confidence. He thought that Nie Minhui had lost her patience. If he didn't take the initiative to lower the price and give her the lowest transaction amount, she would probably turn around and leave.    

    

To be honest, it was not easy to find someone who was willing to take over the messy Volvo these days!    

    

Fang Chengming immediately fell into a passive position and his face was filled with anxiety. He hurriedly said, "Director Nie, wait for me for half an hour. I'll contact the board of directors to hold a conference call right now. How about half an hour? I'll give you the final result. "    

    

Nie Minhui looked at the time and nodded. "Alright, just half an hour."    

    

Fang Chengming got up and said goodbye. The first thing he did was to inform his secretary. "Inform all the directors immediately to gather in the special meeting room of the board of directors in five minutes. All directors who cannot rush to the meeting room must contact the conference phone in the meeting room in five minutes!"    

    

There were a total of nine directors in the upper board of directors of Jiili. Five of them, including Fang Chengming, were in Jiili's headquarters. The other four are not in Hangzhou, but for such an important matter... All the directors who were not allowed to participate in the meeting were called to the conference room to participate in the discussion.    

    

At the beginning of the meeting, Fang Chengming did not waste a second. He went straight to the point and told Nie Minhui about her attitude. The other eight members of the board of directors had different opinions. Some people thought that Nie Minhui must be playing tricks. However, some people thought that Nie Minhui could not possibly have a different way of thinking because of such a small matter. If she did not make a decision quickly, they were afraid that the Volvo would lose the chance to make a move again.    

    

Fang Chengming saw that the board of directors was almost 4: 4 and the quarrel was intense. He could not help but slam the table and say, "Everyone must think it through! The Volvo in our hands is indeed a piece of hot potato, but this piece of hot potato is a hot potato. Not only can we not eat the mountain potato, but we are also burned by it. Furthermore, this mountain potato is getting more and more scalding. If we don't hurry up and throw it to the lower house, I'm afraid we will have to throw this potato away in the end! I ask everyone to consider carefully! How long more can the company sustain the Volvo and continue to suffer losses? Also, can the Volvo that continues to lose money be sold for more than one billion yuan?"    

    

On the phone, a board member who was unwilling to lower the price said," If the price is not lower than one billion US dollars, I can agree! "    

    

As soon as he said this, the others also switched sides. They echoed, "The minimum price is one billion US dollars. We don't care if Nie Minhui wants the Volvo brand or not. As long as she wants to buy it, she must pay more than one billion US dollars!"    

    

"Okay!" Fang Chengming nodded dejectedly and said, "One billion US dollars, it's a success. No, we'll talk about it when the time comes!"    

    

After obtaining the one hundred million US dollars sink space, Fang Chengming immediately rushed back to the central meeting room where he negotiated with Nie Minhui. Once he entered, he went straight to the point and said, "Director Nie, the board of directors has already come to a unanimous conclusion. The lowest is one billion USD. The board of directors does not care if you need the Volvo brand, 1 billion USD. Everything will belong to the Zhongyu Group. As for whether you use the Volvo brand or not... You can decide for yourself."    

    

Fang Chengming was also a little apprehensive. Would Nie Minhui agree? If she did not agree, then what should he do next?    

    

Nie Minhui pretended to be deep in thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Okay, draw up the contract template!"    

    

The Jiili Group had already prepared the contract template for selling Volvo. There were only two options on the contract that were blank. One was the buyer, and the other was the transaction price. They only needed to fill in these two options. Once printed out and both parties signed the contract, the contract would take effect. The rest was the payment on the financial side, as well as the transaction on the business side.    

    

Nie Minhui took out a piece of paper at this time and said, "The contract will be filled out according to this company."    

    

"Zhong Chen Company?" Fang Chengming asked curiously, "Isn't it Zhongyu Group?"    

    

"No."    

    

This was Nie Minhui's newly registered company. The legal person and owner of the company were Zhang Yunfeng. However, this company was to be listed under the name of the Zhongyu Group. However, because 80% of Zhong Chen's funds came from Zhang Yunfeng, 20% came from Nie Minhui herself, so even if this company was officially under the name of the company, however, he wouldn't have any financial dealings with the Zhongyu Group, which could be considered as the greatest protection for Zhang Yunfeng's privacy. It was impossible for outsiders to know that Zhang Yunfeng was involved in this company.    

    

This was also Zhang Yunfeng's wish. First, he would build a strong foundation. When he truly soared into the sky, he would then combine all of his businesses into the Dongchen Group. Now, it was not the time yet.    

    

The contract was quickly drawn up. Nie Minhui used the company's contract stamp as proof of the contract. After the contract was signed, the other party said, "The funds will be in place within three days. Once the funds are in place... I will immediately arrange for people to come over and make the specific handover with you. I hope you can prepare it in advance."    

    

"No problem!" Fang Chengming's heart dropped to the ground. He nodded continuously and said, "We will definitely prepare the handover as soon as possible."    

    

Nie Minhui left behind her own team to perfect the details of the problem with Ji Li. She left Jili Group's headquarters with Zhang Yunfeng ahead of time and got into the car. Nie Minhui said to Zhang Yunfeng, "Yunfeng, I will return to Yanjing tonight to do the new material business of the Zhongyu Group. Overall, it is a failure. The shareholders have wanted to stop this business for a long time. If I want to recover the losses, I want to buy the shares of the new material business in their hands. They would definitely agree immediately, so I think we might be able to do this tomorrow. Then, I will immediately register a new company, the name of the new company. Do you have any thoughts?"    

    

Zhang Yunfeng smiled and said, "The company you set up is not bad. It can be considered the joint name of Zhong Yu and Dong Chen."    

    

" Okay. " Nie Minhui nodded and said, "I will complete the relevant procedures as soon as possible. I will inform you when the time comes. I think you should return to Yanjing. Once the procedures are done, the handover of the Volvo should also begin. At that time, the business of both sides would be carried out at the same time. I'm sure you will be very busy. Have you thought about it? How should we deal with our studies? "    

    

Zhang Yunfeng hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to take a long leave, but I don't want to take a break. I can study the college courses by myself, and I can definitely pass the exam. As long as I can relax a little when I go to school during class, I'll be fine."    

    

"No problem." Nie Minhui opened her mouth and said, "I will tell your principal later. If both sides start their business at the same time, you may not be able to attend classes for some time, but these two matters are very important. I hope you can do these two things well first. "    

    

The Volvo had been purchased. The problem of the materials could be solved very quickly through the cooperation with Nie Minhui. Zhang Yunfeng had gotten what he wanted. All the preparation work had been completed. What he needed to do next was to develop with all his might!    

    

After that, Zhang Yunfeng nodded and said solemnly, "Don't worry, Auntie Nie. I know what to do."
