Chapter 114 Cooperation with Camel 2
On the other hand, the food factory in Dongxing has never had much sales. In the territories of Crow and Golden Tiger, no merchant dares to sell the food factory's products.
If Lu Yongqiang can cooperate with Camel, then as long as Camel opens the door, he should be able to open up sales channels in Dongxing's territory. If that still doesn't work, Lu Yongqiang is ready to use the sales agent route to open up the situation.
At that time, we will give Camel the title of an agent and sell the products in the name of Camel on Dongxing’s territory. We will see if those bastards in Dongxing dare to make trouble.
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Luotuo did not speak, but hesitated.
Lu Yongqiang's ability to do business is indeed worthy of trust. Luotuo hesitated not because he felt that he would not make money by cooperating with Lu Yongqiang, but because of the relationship between Tung Sing and Hung Hing. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are a feud.
Seeing that Luo Tuo was silent, Lu Yongqiang probably guessed the reason for his hesitation and said, "Mr. Luo, the society is a society, and business is business. I am not planning to put the instant noodle factory I am cooperating with in my own name, but in the name of a woman like me. And Mr. Luo, you can also put it in the name of a relative.
This way, even if our two societies fight fiercely, it won’t affect the company’s business.”
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Luotuo still didn't agree. Instead, he thought for a moment and asked, "Jiangzi Qiang, I heard that many of your properties are registered under other people's names. Aren't you afraid that your subordinates will become greedy? If you die, all the properties you worked so hard to build will become someone else's?"
More than one person asked Lu Yongqiang about the camel question. After all, this was indeed very puzzling. Others, even to their own relatives, could not have the unconditional trust in their subordinates that Lu Yongqiang had.
Take Camel, for example. As a drug lord, if he were caught by the police, his assets would essentially be confiscated. As the leader of Dongxing, if something happened to him, his assets would likely be divided up by the rest of the Dongxing community. Even so, Camel still had a number of businesses under his name.
But Lu Yongqiang was different. Lu's Construction Company was under Dong Si's name, the Ju Haochi Food Factory was under Lu Yongheng's name, and the fishing boats and farms in the fishing village were all under Luo Tianhong's name. Previously, there was also a Ju Anquan Security Company under Lu Yongqiang's name, but he recently transferred it to Duxie.
Now the only property under Lu Yongqiang's name is the 30% stake in the Brothers Entertainment City. Apart from this, Lu Yongqiang has nothing else under his name. Even the villa he lives in belongs to Dong Si, and the car he drives belongs to Dadong.
The reason why Lu Yongqiang dared to do this was because he trusted the loyalty system. Others did not have a loyalty system, so naturally they did not dare to do the same as Lu Yongqiang.
Lu Yongqiang naturally wouldn't explain to others that he had a system, but instead had another explanation. After Luo Tuo finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang said, "Mr. Luo, you should know that I'm an orphan. My family is long gone. To me, my brothers are my family. And my achievements today are inseparable from the support of my brothers.
I'm not married and have no children, so I don't have to worry about heirs. Having my property registered in the names of my brothers is a kind of security. If I die one day, they'll have a chance to make a comeback. If they remember my kindness and want to help me get revenge, they won't be without capital.
As for the future when I get married, I can take the property back. I believe that as long as I am alive, no matter who owns the property, I can easily take it back."
Hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Luotuo smiled noncommittally, most likely laughing at Lu Yongqiang's naiveté...
Camel thought for a moment and said, "I have no problem with the cooperation, but we need to calculate the shares separately. 20% is too little. I want at least 50%."
As soon as Luo Tuo finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang shook his head and said, "Mr. Luo, you're asking for too much! Fifty percent is impossible. The most I can give you is thirty percent, and you have to help my food company open up sales channels in Dongxing.
"Don't think you're at a disadvantage with 30%. First of all, I own 80% of the food factory, while you only own 20%. And whether it can make money in the future depends on my ideas. I've worked so hard, and in the end, I'm giving you 50%. What's the point? Am I doing charity?"
After hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Luotuo said, "I can help your food factory open up sales channels in Dongxing, but 30% is too little. I want at least 40% of the shares.
Our Dongxing territory is quite large. If your food factory can open up sales channels in our Dongxing territory, you will make a lot of money. However, our cooperative business has not yet started, and the success of the business is still unknown. If it doesn't make money in the end, then you will have earned the money, but won't I have worked in vain? "
Camel's concerns are not unreasonable. Although Lu Yongqiang thinks that the instant noodle business should be profitable, Camel does not think so. Therefore, it is understandable that he asks for benefits in advance.
Lu Yongqiang thought about it and said, “Mr. Luo, I have great confidence in our cooperative business, and it is impossible for me to give you 40% of the shares. If you have any concerns,
How about this? You'll still own 20% of our joint venture. As for helping my food factory expand its sales channels, we can work together in a different way. I'll let you be the distributor for Yuen Long, North, and Tai Po districts. I can supply you with goods at a price 5% lower than the current purchase price."
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Luotuo fell into deep thought. He thought for a long time before saying, "Five percent is too little. How about ten percent? And don't have three district agents. Why not just lift the restrictions? You don't have to worry about how much I can sell and where I can sell it. Just supply me with the goods, okay?"
As soon as Luotuo finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang hurriedly shook his head. If he really agreed to Luotuo's conditions, then he might as well just work for Luotuo. Even if the purchase price dropped by 10%, he would still make nothing. His current net profit was only 30 points...
Lu Yongqiang said in a deep voice: "Mr. Luo, it seems that you really have no sincerity in cooperating with me. I am sorry for being rude today. I will not disturb you anymore." After that, Lu Yongqiang stood up and prepared to leave.
Just as Lu Yongqiang stood up, Luotuo said with a smile, "Young people are impatient. When discussing business, we should talk slowly. How can we just get up and leave immediately if we don't agree?"
I have the sincerity to cooperate with you, but the price you give me is really too low. How much sales can I expect from Yuen Long, Tai Po and North District? Even if you reduce the purchase price by 5%, how much money can I make? Hundreds of thousands a month? Such a small amount of money is not worth it for me to show off my reputation everywhere.
What Luotuo said makes sense. These three districts have a small population, and there are many villagers among them. Although the snacks are delicious, they are not cheap, and many people may not buy them. Just like in Tuen Mun, sales have not been very good.
Lu Yongqiang hesitated for a moment and said, "The five points remain unchanged. I'll give you 30% of the shares in the new company. This is my final concession. If you agree, then we can work together happily. If you still don't think it's okay, then forget it. We can work together again in the future."
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Luotuo hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and said, "Happy cooperation!"
After negotiating with Luotuo, Lu Yongqiang left Yuen Long.
In the evening, after having dinner with Dong Si and Gang Sheng, Gang Sheng went upstairs to take a shower. Lu Yongqiang talked about this with Dong Si and said, "Si Si, this new company will still be under your name. You will be in charge from now on. Shouldn't that be a problem?"
Lu Yongqiang originally thought that Dong Si would gladly accept it. After all, it was a good thing no matter how you looked at it. However, Dong Si hesitated and said, "Aqiang, I might not be able to do it. The real estate company has been busy lately. The business deal from the Zheng family alone is enough to keep me busy right now. How can I have time to manage the instant noodle factory? How about leaving it to Ah Heng?"
After Dong Si finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang was stunned for a moment, but immediately frowned. He had asked Lu Yongheng about this matter at the beginning, but Lu Yongheng had refused. He had a lot of things to do on his side. Lu Yongheng was not only responsible for all the big and small matters of the food company, he was also the steward of Lu Yongqiang's side, and many things had to be handled by him.
At this time, Gangsheng came down from upstairs, wiping his hair. Seeing Gangsheng, Lu Yongqiang's eyes lit up and he said, "Gangsheng, you've been learning from your sister Sisi for so long, you should be able to stand on your own now! Do you want me to give you some more responsibilities?"
Before Gangsheng could speak, Dong Sixian said, "Gangsheng is suitable. She is now capable of handling things on her own. Letting her take charge of the instant noodle factory shouldn't be a problem."
Gangsheng didn't know what was going on, but she understood the idea of "handling it alone" and immediately shook her head and refused, "I can't do that! How can I manage a business properly? I definitely can't do this."
But Lu Yongqiang didn't care about that. He really didn't have anyone suitable right now, so he said directly, "Gangsheng, you can't refuse this. It's happily decided. The instant noodle factory will be under your name. You'll stay with me for a while. I'll help you sort out the affairs of the instant noodle factory first, and then hand it over to you in charge. It shouldn't be a problem."
After hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Gangsheng wanted to refuse, but Dong Sixian said, "Gangsheng, you'll be fine. You've been with me for so long, I know your abilities. This is a chance to prove yourself, so don't worry.
Besides, you have Aqiang to help you personally. Even if there is something you don't understand, you can ask him. And even if the management is not good in the end, that's okay. Can Aqiang really blame you?"
