However, there were some disagreements regarding the engineers. These people were all talents that Flying Horse knew of and Finn Lewis planned to use them to build his own cars. Naturally, he would not let them go. In the end, both parties reached a certain agreement. Originally, Flying Horse didn’t plan to keep these engineers, but Finn Lewis had a point. If these people did not stay, there was no need for Finn Lewis to buy.
In Flying Horse’s view, if Finn Lewis bought it, he would definitely not put it at the bottom of the box as a treasure. He definitely had to operate it. Others were not stupid. Without these experienced engineers, the car brand naturally couldn’t operate, so Flying Horse finally relaxed some restrictions. Although it was agreed that the Flying Horse company had an obligation to help Mr. Lewis retain these engineers, if these engineers insisted on leaving, Flying Horse was not responsible.
Finn Lewis did not care about this clause, as long as not Influenced by Flying Horse, Finn surely had ways to keep these people. After all the details were confirmed and there were no disputes, the only thing left was the price.
“Mr. Lewis, the HyperCraft brand has a brilliant past…” The main negotiator on the other side, a middle-aged woman in her forties, began to talk about the brilliance of Flying Horse and the HyperCraft brand when negotiating the price. Finn Lewis naturally knew what she meant, it was nothing more than a hard landing price. She wanted to sell this chicken-rib thing for a good price.
At the beginning, Finn Lewis didn’t interrupt her, but after twenty minutes, as her words became more and more exaggerated, Finn Lewis’s face began to look a bit ugly, “… Miss Bonnie, forgive my directness, I am not here to listen to the glorious history of the HyperCraft brand. I don’t value the history of this brand.” Finn Lewis interrupted the woman very simply.
Her talk being interrupted, Bonnie’s face was slightly embarrassed, and Finn Lewis’ rude words made Bonnie look even more ugly. She simply said: “Mr.
Lewis, I was talking about a kind of corporate culture. The fact that the HyperCraft brand has survived such a long history, represents a kind of heritage, represents the glorious past of our Achievement Country’s industry, and of course, it also represents its value.
“Well, I admit what you said before, but maybe not the latter, right? If its value is high, would you, Flying Horse, sell it? Just tell me straightly, how much do you want to sell for it? Don’t talk to me about culture and value.” Finn Lewis said simply.
“Mr. Lewis, I think the price is not the key but the inheritance of the HyperCraft brand and what it represents. Of course, a suitable price also represents its significance. If Mr. Lewis buys it, he will naturally enter the world’s top ranking car manufacturers immediately. Forgive my frankness, this may also be Mr. Lewis’s purpose for coming, right? Just like in your country, there is definitely no such long-standing car brand heritage. What it represents has a high value, so we think 450 million Federal coins is a reasonable price.” Bonnie said bluntly, apparently Finn Lewis’ rude attitude had provoked her, and her last sentence carried a touch of sarcasm.
Four hundred and fifty million Federal coins, somewhat lower than Truman Dale’s forecast, but bear in mind this is merely the value of the HyperCraft brand, its factory and staff will need another 100 million Federal coins! This price had been agreed upon earlier. In other words, Finn Lewis had to spend 450 million Federal coins just for these three words. Of course, the price cannot be said to be outrageous. Didn’t fruit spend tens of millions of Federal coins for the naming rights to iPad in Flame Nation? Of course, what they bought and sold later made a far greater profit than this number.
But for cars like HyperCraft, how many units do you have to sell to recover the cost? It might need at least a decade. Even if the price of each car is not low, this kind of luxury car brand is destined not to be widely sold like ordinary cars, it must be limited.
“Miss Bonnie, please apologize to me,” Finn Lewis rapped on the table in front of him and said coldly.
“Why? What did I say wrong? Damn Flame Nation monkey!” Bonnie looked at Finn Lewis in contempt, and even cursed in German at the end.
“Bonnie!” David Lancaster on the side couldn’t help but speak up. Was this woman an idiot? In the middle of the negotiations, she let her personal emotions get involved. David admitted, just now, Finn Lewis’s seemingly indifferent expression to the HyperCraft brand made him feel a bit uncomfortable as well. But that was not a reason to let personal emotions get involved in the negotiations as a competent business executive! Even though he knew from the daily dealings that Bonnie was prone to racial prejudice because her grandfather died in a conflict between China and Britain during World War I.
David stopped Bonnie and turned his gaze to Truman Dale, hoping he wouldn’t translate Bonnie’s last sentence for Finn Lewis. If translated, negotiations today would absolutely collapse.
David snapped, forcing Bonnie to finally calm down. If David, along with most of the people on the Flying Horse board, supported selling HyperCraft, Bonnie was a firm opponent, especially when it came to selling to people from Flame Nation. Although Flying Horse needed Flame Nation’s huge market, this could not change Bonnie’s inner view of Flame Nation.
“Okay, Mr. Lewis, I apologize to you…” Bonnie finally started, somewhat grudgingly out of respect for David, but before she could finish, Finn Lewis, who was standing opposite her, immediately got up, laughed coldly, and said, “No need. Your apology is not sincere, I won’t accept it. Are you concerned about the cultural value and heritage of the HyperCraft brand, right? Great! I bid five hundred million Federal coins!”
When Finn Lewis stood up and started talking, David cursed quietly, but when Finn Lewis’s last sentence came out, David was stunned, as was everyone else in the room involved in the negotiations. They had been through countless negotiations, seen all kinds of people, but they had never seen anyone directly raise the price like this! Even Bonnie, who was already prepared to face the rage of the Flying Horse board, was looking at Finn Lewis, not understanding what he was doing.
“Is there a problem?” Seeing that everyone in the room was silent, Finn Lewis laughed coldly, raised his head, looked around, and asked..
