First European Emperor [Quick Transmigration]

"So, you want us to drop the infringement investigation on that meatball shop, right?" Chen Kangyuan leaned back and leaned on the leather chair.

"No." Ou Zizhou said, "I hope you will give up trying to monopolize any famous snacks."

"Monopoly?" Chen Kangyuan smiled, "We just registered the trademark name in accordance with the law. For the trademarks that we have not released, others have no right to use them. This is also stipulated by the law. Why are we acting according to the law, but you say So evil? I hope that you will also be aware when defending your rights. If your slander causes any damage to the hotel’s reputation, we will reserve the right to pursue legal responsibility.”

Bullying by power is a habit of those in high positions, but unfortunately Ou Zizhou is well versed in this way, and Chen Kangyuan's intimidation has no effect on him.

"The trademark name is legally registered..." Ou Zizhou repeated this sentence thoughtfully.

Chen Kangyuan's smile became lighter: "What? Is there a problem?"

Ou Zizhou raised his lips: "Xinghe is the name of a county, and the place name is used as a trademark... I remember that there should be very strict requirements? First, it must be registered by the local government, and second, the trademark must be used collectively and cannot be private. .Your snack bar is just a restaurant under the hotel, but you can register a place name trademark and restrict other people from using it. How did you do it?"

The smile on Chen Kangyuan's face gradually disappeared after Ou Zizhou's words. The two looked at each other speechlessly for a moment, and Chen Kangyuan laughed again: "Only the local government can register the trademark of a place name, but the registered trademark can be transferred. We have signed a contract with the government for famous snacks The promotional treaty, trademark transfer is just one of the treaties. Everything is legal and mutually beneficial. I know you want to use this to threaten me, but unfortunately, you are disappointed."

"I'm not disappointed." Ou Zizhou smiled, "You spent a lot of time to get the trademark rights of snacks, just because you want its legal use rights. But for those who grew up eating Xinghe meatballs, they care about you Is the monopoly legal or not? In the eyes of netizens who hate the collusion between government and business and hate power, is legal equal to reasonable?"

"And..." Ou Zizhou suddenly lowered his voice, "Are you sure the promotion agreement you signed is legal?"

Ou Zizhou's words made Chen Kangyuan look wary and narrowed his eyes: "Why, are you threatening me?"

Ou Zizhou smiled relaxedly, waved his hands and said: "It's not a threat, I'm just analyzing the situation for you. First of all, your tough approach will easily arouse public anger. If this matter becomes serious, those snack chefs can still make a comeback if they change their names. It’s you, the only ones who can’t close the game in the end are you.”

"Secondly, you are really smart if you think that you will not get into trouble if you go around like this. The people don't understand the law as much as you think. No one will think you are smart and agree with your approach. They will only think you are cunning. This doubles the hatred for you."

Chen Kangyuan narrowed his eyes.If the trouble really got to the point where it couldn't be closed, of course their hotel would suffer even more.But they will do such a thing, naturally they are confident that they will never let things develop to that point.

Just as he was about to refute, Ou Zizhou spoke first: "Of course, as the hotel owner, you will not let this matter become a big deal, because you have the capital, and you usually do public opinion monitoring, and you can influence the direction of public opinion as long as you spend a little money. And those Snack master, one has no backing, and two has no experience. In your eyes, I’m afraid it’s just a little rabble. In addition, this matter itself is not a sensitive point of the public’s nerves. It is difficult to stir up a storm of public opinion. Don't worry about that."

Ou Zizhou obviously spoke out what Chen Kangyuan was thinking, and Chen Kangyuan's eyes became more playful.

Ou Zizhou looks very young, probably only in his early 20s.Judging from the fact that he would run to an unfamiliar stage to sing and help the owner of a snack bar he had never met before, he should be a bold and reckless person.

He was bold indeed, but reckless...not that reckless it seemed.

"But you have overlooked the most crucial point." Ou Zizhou said again, "I'm surprised you didn't realize this."

Chen Kangyuan was about to drink water, when he heard Ou Zizhou's words, he put down his glass and laughed contemptuously: "Tell me, I want to hear what you thought of that I didn't think of."

Ou Zizhou sighed: "I didn't expect that you would not think of this when you are eating the rice bowl of local residents. Local snacks have an inviolable sacred status in the hearts of local residents. These snack masters don't need to make any big waves at all. They don't need to let the whole country join in the crusade against you, they just need to let the local people know about it."

Chen Kangyuan smiled, took a sip of water, and closed the lid leisurely: "Let the locals know? Now that the story has reached this point, I don't worry about letting you know the details. No TV station will intervene in this One thing, their posts on any local forum will be deleted. Complaints are not even a concern, we are not breaking the law, and no one will accept their complaints. So they don't even have a channel to speak out, how can they let the locals know? "

Ou Zizhou blinked: "Do you know that there is something called a takeaway group?"

Chen Kangyuan was stunned, and Ou Zizhou couldn't help laughing: "Because the food delivery platform charges a certain commission, in order to earn more money, some snack bars will set up their own food delivery circles, hire riders themselves, and attract old customers on social platforms." Go to the group, and then introduce people from old customers. After a certain development, this type of food delivery group can be expanded to a scale of thousands of people. It seems to be comparable to a small forum.”

Chen Kangyuan was silent for a while, then laughed and shook his head: "So what about a thousand people?"

In fact, he is not afraid at all that the other party will use their brains on public opinion. Rich people control public opinion. This is one of the reasons why the capital empire is difficult to collapse once it is established.

Ou Zizhou also laughed: "The people who will join the group are those who want to save the delivery fee, so most of them are young people like students. They are the group with the strongest sense of justice, and they are also the most willing to fight for the weak for free The group of the strong, and they are different from the snack chefs, you suppress them by gagging them, and it will not make them give up, but will ignite their anger and make them even more crazily revenge."

"Mr. Chen should rarely deal with young people in business, right?"

Indeed, the transaction amount of the hotel business is based on one hundred thousand or one million, and even the opponents are rarely fledgling young people.Therefore, Chen Kangyuan was skeptical about whether the "young people" in Ou Zizhou's mouth would have such a strong ability to act. Ou Zizhou was probably just bluffing.

But his thoughts were soon completely shattered by Ou Zizhou.

Ou Zizhou said quietly: "The reason why I can say this with such confidence is because I am one of this group of young people."

Chen Kangyuan suddenly realized that Ou Zizhou himself had nothing to do with this matter. As he said, all his motivation was just what he thought was justice and his determination to help the weak defeat the strong. This determination alone was enough to motivate him Find a way to find out information about him, Chen Kangyuan, and create an opportunity to appear in front of him.

He suddenly felt a fear of the group of "young people" in Ou Zizhou's mouth, and at the same time vaguely remembered some examples that could prove this point.

He was thinking about the correct solution to this matter, and Ou Zizhou spoke again: "Actually, even if you don't consider the fact that the monopoly will overturn, this move of your hotel is very risky. You will choose this risky move, I am afraid Has the performance been greatly impacted?"

As soon as Ou Zizhou finished speaking, Chen Kangyuan's eyes shot at him like two sharp knives.His expression is no longer as easy as before, and his eyes have become dangerous, as if Ou Zizhou said something that shouldn't be said.

Ouzizhou was right in guessing, their hotel was indeed going downhill.However, matters related to the hotel's finances must not be circulated, because news of losses will scare away investment.The operating cost of the hotel is extremely high. Once the investment chain is broken, it may be an instant from prosperity to bankruptcy.

Therefore, this kind of guessing, even if it is a blind guess, will never be allowed to appear.

His voice was deep, like the calm before the storm: "Young man, don't guess without evidence."

However, Ou Zizhou still looked at ease: "I'm not guessing randomly. It's just that there have been two five-star hotels in the city in the past six months. Your hotel is a six-star hotel. In addition to doing better greening and moving a shopping mall, There is no actual advantage, and it is natural for performance to be impacted. I can understand that you want to make your hotel special, and you want to create a familiarity with your hometown brand by binding your brand with traditional snacks, so as to guide customers in When making a choice, I will be more inclined to the idea of ​​your hotel. But it will take a very long time to implement it. It will take at least five years to let the citizens generally form this influence. The current situation of your hotel can sustain Will it take five years? Even one year is enough, right?"

Ou Zizhou is so flexible, as if he has a clear grasp of the financial situation of their hotel.Chen Kangyuan seemed a little annoyed: "Who told you?!"

Ou Zizhou ignored his question and straightened up: "Actually, you want to solve the problem of hotel features. Compared with bundling well-known snacks, I have a simpler and more effective solution."

After he finished speaking, he stopped talking, apparently waiting for Chen Kangyuan to take the initiative to ask him.

Chen Kangyuan fell silent again.

Is Ou Zizhou fooling him?Perhaps as Ou Zizhou said, even outsiders, from the distribution of hotels in this city and the recent actions of their hotels, it may not be impossible to judge that their performance is actually going downhill.

But they are expanding the building area and developing snack bars. Most people would never guess that their financial situation is on the verge of collapse.

It is precisely because of this that they have been able to persist until now.

If Ou Zizhou has a good way to know the inside information, there is absolutely no need for him to use this kind of negotiation method to get them to stop the monopoly of snack trademarks. He can just find someone to put pressure on them.

But if Ou Zizhou has no way, how can he judge this point? Can he really infer their financial situation just by looking at their hotel's operation and analyzing the so-called situation?

Can a young man in his early twenties have this ability?

He hesitated.

If Ou Zizhou is really a young man with such a broad vision, then Chen Kangyuan wanted to know the simpler solution he said.

Chen Kangyuan inexplicably had the illusion that he was being manipulated by the young man in front of him, which dealt a great blow to his self-esteem.

But what is his self-esteem compared with the life and death of the hotel?The survival of the hotel involves the lives of thousands of people!

He sighed resignedly, and asked Ou Zizhou sincerely: "What is your solution?"

In fact, he knew that Ou Zizhou couldn't come up with any reliable solution. If this matter is so easy to solve, why would he rack his brains to figure it out?

"Actually, the most important point is to make people more inclined to choose you when they choose accommodation, meals, and banquets. Your current advantage is six-star hotels, one star lower than other hotels. But your disadvantages are your advantages It's just an empty shell at all, you are not really more upscale than a five-star hotel, so you should think in this direction."

Chen Kangyuan laughed out loud: "Do you think I don't know what you said? High-grade... Ha, do you know how much expenditure and money are behind the word 'high-end'? It costs money to hire people, and it costs money to renovate. .Part of the renovation will make some of the space unusable, and there will be a bigger financial gap! If we do face financial difficulties, do you think we will have enough financial resources to make our hotel more upscale? Don't you think you said Is it all nonsense?"

If he was rich, why would he bother with these things?He directly set up a seven-star hotel, no, an eight-star hotel!If others are engaged in sailboats, he only engages in spaceships, so why focus on the citizens of this city?It's all about money!

He really shouldn't place too much hope on this young man.

Chen Kangyuan was disappointed that he didn't get an ideal answer.But when he knew that Ou Zizhou was nothing more than that, for some reason, he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Ou Zizhou didn't seem to expect him to reply like this, and looked at Chen Kangyuan dissatisfied: "You are also the person in charge of the hotel, why do you always focus on the word 'money'? You equate high-end with gorgeous decoration. Don't you think your vision is too narrow?"

Of course, Chen Kangyuan did not simply think that gorgeous decoration is high-end, but any changes to improve the hotel's grade will cost a lot of money, which is inevitable and also the law of economics.If there is a way to improve the quality of the hotel without spending money, why haven't others adopted it?

However, he was clearly aware of this point, so he still asked, "Then do you have any suggestions that can improve the quality of the hotel without spending money?"

He specifically emphasized the words "no money".

"Naturally, someone will persuade you to think in another direction." Ou Zizhou said.

Chen Kangyuan leaned forward, as if willing to hear more about it.

However, Ou Zizhou raised the corners of his mouth with a smirk: "It would be too boring to reveal the answer now. Why don't we make a deal, as long as you can handle the trademark right, I will tell you that the low cost will greatly improve the hotel's reputation." grade method."

The two looked at each other for a long time, as if it was a silent game.

But Chen Kangyuan knew that this was not a game at all, he was the weak side from the beginning to the end - he didn't have any handle on Ou Zizhou, on the contrary, Ou Zizhou held all his life.

How could he be qualified to negotiate terms with Ou Zizhou?Even without this deal, with a nosy person like Ou Zizhou coming forward, he would still have to settle the matter of trademark rights.

That being the case, there is no reason to hesitate at all.But he couldn't agree immediately, because he couldn't let Ou Zizhou think that he was just a puppet in this transaction, and he had to do whatever Ou Zizhou told him to do.

So he quietly counted in his heart for ten seconds before raising his head. At the same time, a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if everything was under his control. Definite answer.

"it is good."

The author has something to say: For some reason, Zhou, who was just a bit naughty in my heart, now makes me think he is a bit dark...
