From the moment Ms. Hong arrived at the store, Lei Jun did not favor her at all. Even though he didn't know what happened, he still stood by Ye Fan unconditionally.
It can be seen that the feelings for Ye Fan are far more important than the "10 billion global plan".
Of course, this brotherhood is important, but it does not mean that Lei Jun will not be angry.
"What the hell, if you don't tell me clearly what's going on, I'll skin you!"
Lei Jun was so angry that he grabbed the teapot and poured it into his mouth.
Fortunately, the tea was not too hot, otherwise he would have been in trouble.
Ye Fan smiled and told Lei Jun and Wu Xue the reason.
After learning about the old man selling fruit, Lei Jun and his wife were shocked.
"No way?"
Wu Xue frowned, "Ms. Hong doesn't seem like a petty person. How could she defraud poor people?"
"It's not necessarily fraud, maybe she just doesn't like these people."
Ye Fan shrugged his shoulders and hummed: "Once the self-righteous sense of superiority exists, we people at the bottom will be no more than ants in her eyes.
Maybe she just had a sense of nobility, so she asked her bodyguards to go out and show off their power, and then went to educate them personally. In this way, she could not only solve a trivial matter, but also increase her prestige in front of her subordinates."
Lei Jun rolled his eyes and sighed: "That's it, let's talk about cooperation later.
We at Novan are developing well on our own, there is no need to kneel down and lick the godfather of Chinatown."
After he learned the whole story, he did not complain about Ye Fan for being nosy as usual.
Lei Jun knew very well that if he were there, he would definitely rush forward to fight with the two bodyguards.
If Mark didn't do this, he would be scolded by him.
Despite their usual quarrels, they actually have the same personality, and they are both the kind of people who can't get rid of anything in their eyes.
"That's right!"
Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief and said haha: "Old Lei, what you said is so arrogant, I didn't read you wrong!"
"It's not like you don't know how enlightened I am!"
Lei Jun was praised by Ye Fan and raised his chin proudly.
"You two!"
Wu Xue looked at the shameless energy of these two people and shook her head speechlessly.
At this moment, a gentle cough suddenly came from the door.
The three of them turned to look and saw the eldest lady from Chinatown appearing outside the door again, looking rather embarrassed.
"Hey, little girl, why are you back again?"
Ye Fan gave a weird smile, "Is it possible that after waiting downstairs for ten minutes and seeing that we didn't go down to chase you, you couldn't stand it any longer?"
"You bastard!"
Miss Hong's silver teeth gritted loudly.
Because Ye Fan was right, she did not go far.
The reason why he left angrily was to give Novin's executives a slap in the face.
Unexpectedly, none of these three people would agree with her, causing her and the two bodyguards to stand downstairs chattering, which was very embarrassing! Moreover, Xiao Zhao and the others did not receive instructions from Ye Fan and the others, so they did not dare to talk rashly.
.
So in these ten minutes, Miss Hong stood up forcefully.
"I'm a bastard, and you're no better."
Ye Fan snorted disdainfully and picked up the tablet from the edge of his seat.
"How about it? If you still want to cooperate, just come over and talk honestly.
If you don’t want to cooperate, just buy a plane ticket and go back to Chinatown, your little white country.
Don't worry, I'll reimburse you for the round-trip air tickets.
Lei Jun, call Xiaowei over... Girl, I forgot to tell you, Xiaowei is our financial director here.
I’ll ask the financial director to receive you. Isn’t it a great honor?”
"Just for your cake-making small business, you also have a financial director?"
Miss Hong caught Ye Fan's words and attacked him.
If you don't feel happy, don't even think about feeling good.
"Yes, we are just cake makers.
But there are always people who come from thousands of miles away to lick it..." "Ye Fan, that's almost it."
Lei Jun and Wu Xue heard that Ye Fan was going too far and quickly stopped him.
Lei Jun put on a smile, stood up and came to Miss Hong, saying: "Miss Hong, we have learned about what happened before.
Ye Fan acted out of impulse and was too impulsive, we are trying to persuade him to apologize to you!"
"Then what?"
Miss Hong clenched her pink fists.
I've been waiting downstairs for ten minutes. Where is your apology?
"..." Lei Jun touched his nose awkwardly.
Then it’s gone! Don’t you have any eyesight?
If we could persuade Ye Fan, would he still attack you like this?
"Humph, I'm too lazy to tell you!"
Miss Hong hummed softly, stepped forward and snatched the tablet from Ye Fan's hand, and explained the specific details of the cooperation without any emotion.
The general situation is that after the formal cooperation, Novin's representative team was asked to inspect Chinatown in New York City and San Francisco to select locations.
In addition, Huabang cuisine also has a presence in many big cities in Xiaobai.
At that time, you can also go to those big cities and conduct market research to see if Novin's products can win the favor of the people of Xiaobai.
Of course, this is only the first step in the tens of billions of global plans.
If it is launched in Xiaobai, Mr. Hong will continue to invest more to cover the entire North American market and then enter Europe! As for South America, Africa and other barren areas, Mr. Hong has not considered it yet.
Firstly, the influence of Huabang cuisine in those areas is slightly weaker, and secondly, due to the political turmoil, it is difficult to supply nearby goods.
What Mr. Hong calls the world is only economically developed areas.
Ms. Hong was businesslike. After speaking, she went straight to the topic and asked the bodyguard to take out the first step of the cooperation contract and slap it on the coffee table: "Give me your attitude, to cooperate or not to cooperate?"
Ye Fan and the other three looked at it roughly, and their expressions all changed.
"Oh, what a big appetite!"
"Ms. Hong, is this contract really what Mr. Hong means?"
"He wants to hold 80% of the shares, which is too much."
"Eighty percent is a lot?"
Miss Hong folded her arms and snorted coldly: "We provide the space, we provide the manpower, and we provide the money. You just need to provide the secret recipe and signature concept.
According to what I said, 20% is fine for you.
If I were grandpa, wouldn’t you still be happy if I gave you 10 billion to buy out your company?”
"Haha, your grandma is so stupid."
Ye Fan glared coldly and threw the contract back: "Take your stinky face and go back to greet your grandfather.
As the chairman of Novin, I am telling you clearly now that the cooperation is suspended and you can go back to where you came from!"
"you!"
Ms. Hong was stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly: "Think about it carefully. With the influence of Hua Bang Cuisine in North America, we can at least open thousands of Novin directly-operated stores! And the currency there is still the US dollar.
Even if you only hold 20% of the shares, the money you receive every year is several times more than what you earned in Xia Kingdom!"
"Yeah, so what?"
Ye Fan and Lei Jun looked at each other, and saw the unwillingness in his eyes, and immediately shouted: "Novan belongs to us, how much effort we have spent to achieve the current situation.
If you just say one word, you will take away 80% of the shares, which is absolutely impossible."
"Hey, it's clearly stated in the contract. We only want 80% of the global plan. The market in Xia Country is still yours. We don't want any of it!"
Ms. Hong immediately retorted.
"Who told you that we can't open overseas markets on our own?"
Ye Fan sneered.
"What if one day our company Novan goes public, your grandfather will immediately become the largest shareholder of Novo with his overseas shares."
“Our Huabang cuisine will never be on the market!”
Miss Hong shouted angrily.
"It's tugging at the yarn!"
Ye Fan shook his finger, "Your Huabang cuisine is not marketed in the hands of Mr. Hong.
What if he dies?
Can you guarantee that Huabang cuisine will never be on the market?"
Ye Fan's words hit Miss Hong's weakness.
Yes, Mr. Hong did promise that Huabang Cuisine would never go on the market! However, Mr. Hong has gotten older in recent years, and his major shareholders have begun to make moves.
At the annual meetings for several consecutive years, the shareholders jointly requested the listing plan, but they were all suppressed by Mr. Hong's continued coercion.
You know, Huabang Cuisine is not a store name, nor is it an industry.
After decades of development, Huabang Cuisine has formed a huge joint industry, although it is mainly based on the catering industry.
However, it covers various industries, and in terms of overall scale, it is not far behind the Golden Arches.
The Golden Arches have a market value of one to two hundred billion US dollars. If Huabang Cuisine were to be listed, it would only affect the livelihood of millions of people based on its name. Therefore, Mr. Hong’s approach is equivalent to breaking the bank.
The wealth of those shareholders! If Mr. Hong hadn't been so influential and his words were so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, those shareholders wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
Otherwise, they would have killed Mr. Hong secretly.
Since ancient times, people have died for money, and birds have died for food! They are waiting for Mr. Hong to return to the west. In this way, Huabang cuisine has become their bag, and it is reasonable for it to be put on the market.
There are advantages and disadvantages to having Huabang cuisine on the market.
The advantage is that the market value increases, and shareholders have more money to develop markets and expand the industrial chain.
However, for those cooperative shops at the bottom, listing has no direct interest for them, but will affect their own income.
Because they signed a contract with Huabang Cuisine, the store belongs to Huabang Cuisine.
If Huabang Cuisine is integrated and listed, I am afraid that most cooperative restaurants will directly change owners and be taken back by Huabang Cuisine shareholders.
As a result, those shop owners who ate with Mr. Hong would be doomed.
It can be said that for Huabang Cuisine, going to the market means starving the lower ones to death and starving the upper ones to death.
It was precisely because Mr. Hong saw through this that he refused to go public.
He was born in poverty, took over Huabang Cuisine from his elders, and gradually made Huabang Cuisine bigger and stronger.
He knows very well how important a small shop is to ordinary families working outside.
He and those shareholders are no longer short of money. Even if they go out and squander it, they will have enough in this life.
However, if he were asked to give up those compatriots just for the sake of the number on his bank card, he couldn't do it! In this regard, Mr. Hong's thoughts and Ye Fan's thoughts are quite similar.
