Chapter 334 Strategic Cooperation!
There is a special office for Zhang Sheng in [Cerlu Cinema].
Except for Zhang Sheng, even Elaine would not come in and out casually on weekdays.
The office is still very simple...
A table, a few computers, a few books like "French Constitution", "Copyright Law", "Property Law", and the rest are some tea sets, coffee cups and other things.
Leo John sat opposite Zhang Sheng, looking at the young man who was meticulously making tea.
This Chinese young man has a natural ability to control the situation. The moment he walked into the office, he felt that he had stepped into a strange field.
He even smelled a faint, deeply hidden bloodthirsty smell in this field.
That was the sixth sense he had in the early years when he survived the constant fighting at the bottom of Brazil. Although not all of it was accurate, he had a good evaluation of Zhang Sheng in his heart.
Of course...
His cooperation with Zhang Sheng was quite pleasant. This pleasure made him have the idea of being more closely tied to Zhang Sheng.
After the [Southern California International Film Awards], the income of that barren slum has increased several times. Even though the [Southern California International Film Awards] has ended for so long, the influence is still endless. Last month alone, the various taxes received were more than what was received in a year.
Leo John rarely drinks Chinese tea...
Before meeting Zhang Sheng, he was not interested in Chinese tea culture.
How could a rough man who has struggled at the bottom of society and has not received much education be interested in these things?
"Mr. Leo John, try the tea I brewed..."
The translator translated Zhang Sheng's words to Leo John, who nodded and drank a cup subconsciously.
The fragrance was overflowing. I don't know if it was Zhang Sheng's gentle expression or the atmosphere created here, Leo John's irritable heart gradually calmed down.
Zhang Sheng did not talk to him about things, but as if he was an old friend who had known him for a long time, he talked to Ou John about the history of Chinese tea ceremony.
He is a very good storyteller...
A rough man like Leo John was attracted by Zhang Sheng's story unconsciously.
The afternoon sun shone into the office through the window.
Leo John's body began to relax unconsciously, and he even sat leisurely on the chair, imitating Zhang Sheng's appearance and began to taste this light tea.
When he first drank it, he really couldn't feel anything, but he didn't know whether it was a change in his mood or something else. When he drank the second brew, he actually felt that this tea was very delicious.
"Mr. Leo John, I am very happy to build a factory in our Brazil, um, in our Rocinha...My idea is very simple. We provide the funds, technology, and some personnel for the construction of the factory, and are responsible for the training and employment of local personnel. You only need to provide the venue. Of course, we will also give you rent and taxes. In addition, Mr. Leo John, you still own 20% of the shares."
Cup after cup of tea went into the stomach.
When both parties were immersed in this light afternoon leisure, Zhang Sheng began to talk to Leo John about work.
Without too many routines, nor any tricks, the expression on Zhang Sheng's face is always the most sincere.
Leo John did not respond, but asked the translator and financial manager next to him to calculate the account...
Zhang Sheng looked at the people coming and going in France outside the window, and the direction of the distant [Cannes International Film Festival]. His eyes were not yearning or yearning, but only an undisguised ambition.
About half an hour later, Leo John smiled and nodded: "What about Mexico?"
"Mr. Leo John, as for the products exported to Mexico, I hope you can be the person in charge, and we will split it 50-50..."
"50-50?" When Leo John heard this number, he was a little surprised.
"Yes, I don't contact them. I only provide products and corresponding technologies. As for how to sell them and how much they sell, everything is in your hands. Of course, if there is a need to provide financial services or technical services, we will also provide them..."
Leo John did not respond, but turned his head and talked to the translator behind him.
More than ten minutes later, Zhang Sheng saw the two people nodded at the same time.
"Mr. Zhang Sheng, I'm actually quite curious. I thought our business would involve a lot of negotiations..."
"Mr. Leo John, if it were anyone else, I would always choose to negotiate with them to gain greater benefits, but for you, I have always been grateful..."
"Grateful?" Leo John was stunned.
"I once struggled in the abyss and tasted all kinds of bitterness and humiliation. Later, by chance, I met you. You gave me an opportunity to show my talents outside of China. At the same time, I also felt your sincerity, kindness, and wisdom that keeps pace with the times, which is different from others... You are like an elder, and I am a younger generation who is helped and helped..."
"..."
"We Chinese have a saying that a drop of water must be repaid with a spring. I think compared to money, I am more willing to make friends with you. At the same time, I hope that I can represent China in the future, and you can represent Brazil in the future, so that we can enter a deeper and more friendly cooperation!"
"..."
"Mr. Leo John, for the future, I will use tea instead of wine to toast you!"
"..."
Under the afternoon sun.
Leo John saw Zhang Sheng's grateful and sincere expression.
When the translator translated Zhang Sheng's words to Leo John, he felt a slight tremor deep in his heart!
Leo John, who had worked his way up from the bottom and was used to seeing all kinds of betrayals, saw only sincerity in Zhang Sheng's eyes...
A liar cannot be hidden from his eyes.
And he was not lying, he was truly grateful to himself!
He also stood up subconsciously and drank a cup of tea.
When I first drank this cup of tea, I felt bitter, but after drinking it, I felt a refreshing fragrance and coolness...
After drinking the cup of tea, the two sat down separately.
The translator next to him had already prepared the contract and handed it to Zhang Sheng.
Zhang Sheng took a look and saw that the contract was specially written in Chinese. It was obvious that Leo John was also very sincere.
Zhang Sheng read it carefully, finally filled in the numbers and signed his name.
After signing this agreement, Zhang Sheng pulled out another contract from his drawer.
"Mr. Leo John, we also sign this contract..."
Leo John nodded and took the contract.
It was a "Strategic Cooperation Agreement" written in Portuguese, and he could naturally understand it.
Half an hour later...
Leo John walked out of the office with a smile on his face.
Zhang Sheng sent the sample agreement to Chen Mengting who was far away in China...
When Chen Mengting saw the agreement, she was shocked.
"Mr. Zhang...if we pay rent, site fees, and taxes to Brazil according to this agreement, the profits we make cannot be maximized. Moreover, although we are 50/50 in Mexico, if taxes are included, We probably make less money than Leo John…”
On the phone.
Chen Mengting was obviously shocked that Zhang Sheng, who never suffered any loss in anything he did, actually signed such several agreements.
"When you cooperate with others, sometimes you are at a disadvantage, but it is a blessing..." Zhang Sheng responded with this sentence.
"But, Mr. Zhang, if future agreements are signed like this, then..."
"Three days later, there will be an election in Rocinha, Brazil. Leo John is only using force to occupy half of Rocinha..."
"That……"
"I am investing, and so far, I have never lost money in my investments. Moreover, even if I lose money, it doesn't matter to me. It's just about making more or less..."
Chen Mengting was silent on the other end of the phone.
After talking on the phone with Chen Mengting, Zhang Sheng looked out the window again.
outside the window...
Under the protection of bodyguards, Leo John had already got into the car, and then drove away into the distance.
From the first time he met Leo John, Zhang Sheng understood that this chubby middle-aged man had an ambition for "rights" in his eyes.
he is very smart!
We know that force is only temporary and that in disputes over power, force is ultimately the inferior.
This time he came to see Zhang Sheng. On the surface, everyone was here to discuss cooperation. He helped Zhang Sheng open up relationships in Mexico and make more money.
But behind the scenes...
When Zhang Sheng realized that Brazil was about to hold an election, he understood that Leo John was trying to gain more chips for his own election.
He knew that he wanted to control the entire Rociniya and truly control everything legally and compliantly!
Zhang Sheng looked out the window again...
After looking at it for a long time, he silently put the contract away in the drawer.
Then he made a few phone calls.
A few minutes later, the [Huaxing] mobile phone team headed by Yang Hongwei knocked on Zhang Sheng's office.
"How are the inquiries about Brazil's appearance patents and various patents going?"
"The mobile phone [IPO] company you mentioned has not been registered..."
"Oh, okay, where is the phone appearance sample? Has it been completed?"
"Already done……"
Yang Hongwei took out various mobile phone models from the bag he carried with him.
These phone models are similar to the iPhone 4, but seem to be slightly longer than the iPhone 4, and there are even MAX versions.
Anyone who has come from the original world will definitely be surprised when they see these models.
Isn’t this all phone models from iPhone5 to iPhone10 Pro MAX?
Zhang Sheng looked at these mobile phone models carefully and then nodded.
"After the factory is built in Brazil, we will start using the 5th generation model for production... However, I have to trouble you to make a few more trips in the past two days to get the French appearance patent first, focusing on the old and American side..."
"Okay! Let's try!"
"..."
