Chapter two hundred and seventy seventh twists and turns
Li Yuntian pointed out that the place he came to was the arrangement for the channels and brands of the newly established Smart TV Co., Ltd. "Mr. Cai, look, the sales of smart TVs must be made using the Haisheng brand, which is uniformly sold by Haisheng Electronic Product Sales and Service Company. In addition, this draft is not mentioned in terms of TV-related patent authorization." Li Yuntian reminded softly.
"Also, in terms of component procurement, Haisheng Group is also required to be responsible for unified procurement."
Cai Siqiang knew these things when he was looking at them. He just wanted to see if Li Yuntian could see the pits dug by the other party. He gained wisdom from one mistake and suffered such a big loss in the mobile phone with the new Nokia. How could Cai Siqiang not be more conscientious?
Compared with the new Nokia Mobile, the pits dug by Haisheng are even more powerful. Not to mention the patents, Haisheng has no core things to compete with top manufacturers in this regard. With an authorization, it is finally better than nothing.
However, channels, brand operations and component procurement are controlled by subsidiaries of Haisheng Group. These subsidiaries are still parallel to Haisheng Co., Ltd., and Haisheng Co., Ltd. cannot control them. This is equivalent to putting three tight rings on future smart TV companies.
With these three tight curses, even though Sal completely controls the smart TV company, it is useless. The key functions of component procurement, branding and sales are in the hands of others. The life and death of this subsidiary is actually no longer controlled by itself. In other words, this smart TV company is simply a puppet OEM company that produces products. There is basically no difference between the two, and they both need to rely on others to survive.
The pit buried in the Island City concession is really deep. After a long time of going around, it actually means that Haisheng is very concerned about having a considerable say in this smart TV.
"Director Liu, President Wei, the solution proposed in this new draft is very creative, and to some extent we have the basis for further negotiation." Cai Siqiang took the draft back from Li Yuntian, then turned on one of the pages and pointed to the terms of the draft regarding the sales part.
"However, before continuing the next negotiations, we must remove some clauses that we cannot accept at all, such as Article 15, the new company's smart TV products must be made using the Haisheng brand and sold uniformly by the Haisheng Electronic Product Sales Service Company. I do not think this restriction will be of any benefit to the development of the smart TV company.
For example, Article 17: Haisheng Group is responsible for the procurement of components, which are extremely hindering the independent development of smart TV companies.”
Seeing that the other party saw the control measures set by one of his party for this so-called future joint venture subsidiary, Liu Datong and Wei Zaishen quickly exchanged their eyes unconsciously. They were able to start from scratch to become an important super-large company in the industry. This young man is really not entirely based on luck. The tricks set by one of his party's efforts and clever arrangements are invisible in the other party's eyes.
Wei Zai took a deep breath, sorted out his thinking and said, "Mr. Cai, that's right. Now all of Haisheng's consumer electronic products are borne by Haisheng Electronic Product Sales and Service Company. This way, a sales channel and logistics platform can be used to carry out intensive operations, which can greatly reduce the company's products' costs in these aspects."
These high-sounding reasons have been privately simulated the problems they may face today to a considerable extent, so it seems very natural for Wei Zaishen to talk about them.
"Intensive operation is a good thing to some extent, but whether it is sales, procurement, or brand operation, if the joint venture smart TV company does not have the right to choose independently, then whether there is this subsidiary is the same for Salt, and we will lose the basis for continuing negotiations." Cai Siqiang was not blinded by the other party's sweet words on these key conditions.
It is such a stupid thing to pin the life and death of a company on the other party’s awareness in the current business community, although there are many such stupid people, it is definitely not Cai Siqiang.
"Since Mr. Cai has new opinions on this clause, it's better to do this." Liu Datong interrupted. They also imagined the response measures after this thing was seen, and Liu Datong would cover it at this moment. "You see, we have modified it to build channels for the two parties to share a platform for intensive sales and logistics operations. How about this?"
Although Liu Datong said that the channels and logistics must be carried out through Haisheng's sales company, sharing the same platform almost wants to control this area.
"If we do not have the authority to independently choose channels and logistics procurement, then we lack a basis for discussing together." Cai Siqiang said flatly, but how the other party changes this statement? If it is still limited to the channel control of Haisheng Group, there is no way to continue discussing this. For the new company, it is equivalent to being subject to Haisheng forever.
"Also, in terms of brand use, we need at least 10 years of the right to use the Haisheng brand for free and the right to innovate the brand, so that the new company can have the ability to operate independently, which is our most basic negotiation foundation. Without this foundation, we do not need to continue to negotiate." Cai Siqiang continued.
"Director Liu, President Wei, I think I have already said it very clearly. I wonder what the two of you mean?"
"This..." Seeing Cai Siqiang so tough, Liu Datong and Wei Zaishen couldn't find out what to say for a while. As a means of restraining the new company, procurement, sales channels and brands, the only places that Haisheng Group has come up with to limit sals. Without these things, there is no way to effectively restrict the development of this smart TV company in the future.
If this is the case, if SAL is introduced for cooperative development of smart TVs, the future interests will basically have nothing to do with Haisheng Group. This is a bit inconsistent with Mayor Liu's original intention. Liu Datong and Wei Zaidian looked at each other. Seeing that the negotiations were about to break down again soon, although they were very anxious, they did not dare to easily agree to the other party's condition.
What to do, what to do? Liu Datong and Wei Zaishen are desperately turning countless thoughts in their minds, but they can't find a way to get the best of both worlds. The advantage of sal is not so easy to take. It seems that this is not the way to introduce sal technology into your own use.
Seeing that the other party could not speak for a long time, Cai Siqiang knew that the island city had never given up on controlling the smart TV business. Unexpectedly, he had a trip this time, and Cai Siqiang secretly put an end to the negotiations in his heart.
"Okay, let's talk about this today. If you have a new plan that can meet the basic requirements of SAL, you are welcome to come to Chengdu to discuss at any time." Cai Siqiang waited for a while, and saw that the other party could not make any concessions, so he took the initiative to end the negotiations.
