Chapter 2531
I'll Bring You Barbecue
"To put it bluntly, Audi is just a mid-range car in the entire European and American vehicle system, not yet a luxury car."
It's practically impossible for them to establish Audi as a luxury car brand in Europe and America.
Spending billions on advertising won't make a car a true luxury car.
But in Asia, this opportunity does exist.
And we can give them that opportunity.
But they have to cooperate and know their place.
Otherwise, we will contact Pingzhi.
They should know that I...we have that kind of face." After saying this, He Yuzhu raised an eyebrow at Zhang Chaoyang meaningfully.
He Yuzhu originally wanted to say "mine," but in the end he said "we."
He believed Zhang Chaoyang would understand what he meant.
Given Lou Xiao'e's status as Hong Kong's richest woman and a potential Asian billionaire, getting Mercedes-Benz to sponsor the Asian Games in China shouldn't be a problem.
Therefore, when a certain company wants to sponsor a car, it not only has to provide a good car, but also has to pay money.
Don't think that providing a few cars is sponsorship; it's not that easy.
In my past life, after entering the 1990s, the three most recognized luxury cars in our family were Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi.
Especially among leaders in the workplace, Audi's imposing models and understated appearance are quite popular.
But this car, from beginning to end, even into the new century, was never considered a top-tier luxury car globally.
Only our family members recognize it, and sales are quite good.
Director Fang of the organizing committee had never handled such a matter before and believed that anything picked up was a good thing.
He's happy as long as someone is willing to sponsor our family.
It's impossible for them to even think about the possibility that our family's grand event could also help them gain a foothold in Asia.
This is also why He Yuzhu insisted on coming over to give Zhang Chaoyang some instructions.
"Uncle, how much sponsorship fee do we need?" Zhang Chaoyang asked, sounding quite uncertain.
He knew that He Yuzhu's second condition was that he was thinking of asking a certain group for sponsorship.
But asking him to ask for a custom car is difficult enough.
Asking for money? Zhang Chaoyang really doesn't have that kind of shamelessness.
Therefore, we need to learn how to deal with foreign businesses.
What might be considered normal business cooperation outside is still a big deal in the eyes of someone as insightful as Zhang Chaoyang.
He Yuzhu said angrily, "Can't you show me some self-respect?"
You are their only window into our home for advertising.
This is also their only chance to participate in the biggest event in our country within the next five years.
What are you afraid of?
Why are you as timid as Xiao Song?
They're all good-for-nothings.
You should tell them that Amery Jeep sponsored us with ten million, but we haven't even gotten the title of a limousine in return.
Let them decide how to give it to you.
"If we give them too little, won't they feel bad?"
After He Yuzhu said this, Zhang Chaoyang was speechless and could only roll his eyes repeatedly.
He Yuzhu compared him to Xiao Song; how could he possibly be qualified to be compared?
To say that he is just as incompetent as Xiao Song is the highest praise Zhang Chaoyang could receive.
Ordinary people might not know, but how could a family like theirs not know?
Xiao Song didn't know what he had sold, but the original asking price was 100 million.
Song quoted a price of 2.5 million US dollars.
The current transaction price is between $1.8 million and $2 million.
Damn it, nobody dares to say anything except what they're actually selling.
What Xiao Song did has become a legend in their circles.
No matter which young master talks about this, they all have to give Xiao Song a thumbs up and say a few words of praise.
To be honest, Xiao Song doesn't mingle in the entertainment circle anymore, otherwise he would be the top figure among the young men and women of Beijing.
The kind of person no one can take away. But in He Yuzhu's words, such a person actually became a coward.
If a second or third person had said something like that, Zhang Chaoyang would definitely have argued with them.
But He Yuzhu is Xiao Song's father-in-law.
He has the right to say such things.
Furthermore, according to Zhang Chaoyang's hearsay,
He Yuzhu asked Xiao Song to quote over 300 million US dollars.
So when Xiao Song reported 250 million, he really underestimated it.
He Yuzhu said this as if it were perfectly natural and appropriate.
"Uncle, do you mean ten million?" Zhang Chaoyang asked tentatively, he really wasn't sure.
"Changing to another company would be more suitable."
Tell them that if they are willing to give us ten million US dollars, we can put up a big sign for them at the Beijing airport to promote their business.
So that every friend who comes to Beijing to watch the Asian Games can see their Audi brand.
If they could sponsor more.
We can arrange a signing ceremony on Hong Kong Island.
"Let all of Asia know about their brand in advance..." He Yuzhu said, glancing at his watch. It was already 6:30.
He stood up abruptly and stopped talking.
"Uncle, why don't you come with me tomorrow?"
"Speak with more confidence." Zhang Chaoyang said, his face turning red.
Tomorrow is Sunday, and both sides have arranged to continue discussing the sponsorship at the Sijiucheng Hotel.
The fact that the other party wanted to talk about work even on their day off shows that they are actually quite anxious.
He Yuzhu was originally thinking of agreeing.
But suddenly he paused for a moment.
He recalled the phone call he had made that afternoon, after which Xinghua had rejected him and then adopted a slightly forlorn, obedient tone.
Although He Xinghua didn't say anything sad, He Yuzhu could sense that his son wasn't in a good mood.
I'm not free tomorrow!
"Something's happened, something very important," He Yuzhu said earnestly.
"Uncle, what could be more important than this?" Zhang Chaoyang was almost in tears.
Ten million US dollars, which is now equivalent to more than 30 million RMB in our country according to the official exchange rate.
Based on the foreign exchange adjustment rate, that's nearly 50 million.
They asked someone to make a custom car for them, and then asked them to give them almost 50 million yuan.
He has no right to say that.
He Yuzhu patted Zhang Chaoyang on the shoulder and encouraged him, saying, "Go ahead and speak boldly."
If anyone's going to lose face, it'll only be you.
Young man, what's the big deal about losing face a little?
Xiao Song was afraid of losing face, so he quoted a price of 250 million.
Do you think he regrets it now?
If we quote 300 million, with dozens of large pieces, then through haggling, our family can earn an extra billion dollars.
......"
He Chaoyang felt much better after He Yuzhu said that.
Indeed, if Xiao Song knew that the tycoon was so generous, he would have dared to quote a price of one billion US dollars per coin.
They ask for the sky's the limit, but we'll negotiate the final price.
Those nouveau riche always complained that it was too expensive.
But to this day, they're still staying at our house, and haven't even thought about switching to another seller to negotiate a deal.
Explain what?
This shows that apart from our family, no other thugs even considered, or dared to, do this business.
Since a price of 200 million is acceptable, what's a few tens of millions more?
Zhang Chaoyang gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and shouted, "Uncle, I'll do it!"
"Okay, sweetie, I'll bring you some barbecue later." He Yuzhu patted the young man's shoulder and smiled, as if coaxing a child. (End of Chapter)
