The fishing ground I opened has become a national leisure destination

Chapter 404 Project Payment

In fact, Chen Yuan didn’t say one more thing, but Zuo Xian also knew it.

That is, the sport of fishing is really developing better and better under Chen Yuan's planning. In the next president election, the president will most likely recommend Chen Yuan.

And judging from the current development trend, the president obviously intends to do so.

When Chen Yuan becomes the president, coupled with the publicity and promotion model he has planned, regardless of what will happen to the sport of fishing, Chen’s fishing gear, and even Chen Yuan’s fishing ground, will definitely be able to quickly establish a brand effect.

The strategic cooperation plan he formulated does seem to have no advantages at all.

"Brother, let's talk business. Your proposal is not very attractive to Chen's Fishing Gear. Even if we analyze it item by item, Chen's Fishing Gear is more like relying on the Golden Arowana. Once the quality of the Golden Arowana improves, Chen's Fishing Gear will be dispensable."

Chen Yuan put down the teacup, crossed his hands, and looked at Zuo Xianyu opposite him.

These words are a bit harsh.

But from a business perspective, the meaning of what I just said is very clear. If Chen's Fishing Gear wants to develop, it does not necessarily have to reach a strategic cooperation with Golden Arowana.

So this proposal is not attractive enough.

"Brother, tell me what you think."

Zuo Xian smiled, picked up the cigarette box and handed one to Chen Yuan.

As a veteran who has been in business for many years, Zuo Xian'e knows clearly that cooperation is negotiated, and he also knows what kind of cooperation is possible and what is impossible.

Cooperation with Chen Yuan is possible, otherwise Chen Yuan would not have said so much and would have directly refused from the beginning.

It's nothing more than a matter of details of cooperation.

Since his plan is not ideal, let's listen to Chen Yuan's ideas.

"My brother's advantage is that he has rich industry experience, a mature team and perfect sales channels. My advantage is that I have better technology and better product quality and effect."

Chen Yuan took the cigarette, lit it on the table and said.

Zuo Xian nodded. The advantages and disadvantages of both sides were obvious. The only difference was that Chen Yuan’s disadvantages could be easily made up for.

However, his disadvantages could not be remedied even after investing a lot of money and trying hard for several months.

"Combining the advantages of our two companies, I believe we will be able to occupy a larger market share, but this requires a prerequisite, how to reach a consensus point."

Chen Yuan lit the cigarette several times and then held it between his lips and lit it.

Zuo Xian nodded, then lit a cigarette, said nothing, and waited for Chen Yuan to continue.

"One thing that is really important in strategic cooperation is resource sharing. As long as we achieve strategic cooperation in technology and market, the general direction will be fine."

Chen Yuan took a deep puff of cigarette and said slowly: "But I have a premise."

"You say." Zuo Xian said seriously.

"Chen's Fishing Gear can try to develop Golden Arowana fishing gear, but it is not to provide technical support, but to set up a separate research and development team."

Chen Yuan flicked the ash off his cigarette and said, "No financial support is needed. If the research and development fails, I will bear all the research and development funds. If the research and development succeeds, I have two suggestions."

Having said that, Chen Yuan stretched out two fingers.

Zuo Xian gestured to Chen Yuan to continue.

"The first one is that Chen's Fishing Gear provides mature technology for free, but Chen's Fishing Gear must account for a certain proportion of new product sales. The second one is a one-time buyout model, with a fixed price for one transaction, and subsequent sales have nothing to do with Chen's Fishing Gear." Chen Yuan said slowly.

Without waiting for Zuo Xian to express his opinion, Chen Yuan added:

"If you choose the first model, the sales market and other benefits you enjoy during the strategic cooperation between Chen's Fishing Tackle and Golden Arowana will also be returned to you at a certain percentage."

Chen Yuan didn't say the other result, but it was already very obvious.

It’s just ordinary cooperation and normal business transactions.

"Brother, there is no alternative to this suggestion." Zuo Xian thought about it for a moment and then smiled bitterly.

The reason why he wanted to reach a strategic cooperation with Chen’s Fishing Gear was because the bait for golden arowana was not as effective as theirs and his own research and development was limited.

In this case, if the second option is chosen, strategic cooperation will be meaningless, and the lifeblood of the Golden Arowana will always be controlled by Chen’s Fishing Gear.

Not to mention surpassing others, even how much market share it can get depends on the performance of Chen’s Fishing Gear.

"If I provide comprehensive resource sharing, from the team to the growth line, to online and offline sales channels, and provide sufficient R&D funds, how do you think the first suggestion should be allocated?"

After a bitter smile, Zuo Xian looked up at Chen Yuan and asked.

After this statement was made, it can basically be considered that Zuo Xianluo accepted Chen Yuan's plan.

"There's no rush for this matter. If you trust me, brother, you can give me the manufacturing technology of your fishing gear brand. How about I upgrade the new products first and then talk about this matter?" Chen Yuan said with a smile.

Cooperation should be approached with a cooperative attitude.

Research and development first, then talk about profits, this is Chen Yuan’s attitude.

"Brother, what you said, how can I not trust you?" Zuo Xian shook his head and smiled.

Compared with the quality and effectiveness of Chen’s fishing gear, products under the Golden Dragon Fish brand may not be acceptable to Chen Yuan, so there is no need to worry about anything.

Leaning forward and extinguishing the cigarette in the ashtray, Zuo Xianyi also extended a finger and said, "Well, I will invest one million in research and development funds. No matter what the result is, this one million will be provided free of charge."

Chen Yuan's attitude is to bear the R&D and upgrading costs on his own, while Zuo Xian's attitude is to provide financial support.

"Brother, no need..."

Chen Yuan smiled and waved his hand.

Zuo Xianyi rushed to say, "Brother, don't be so hasty to refuse. Jinlongyu is not a small workshop. It is a big brand with quality. It is not easy to upgrade the effect. How can I let you bear the risk alone?"

Chen Yuan declined politely, but Zuo Xian insisted.

In the end, it was Zuo Xian'an who said that if this continued, the strategic cooperation would be abandoned, and Chen Yuan finally accepted it.

"Thanks, brother. We'll talk in detail after the new products are developed and upgraded." Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"Okay." Zuo Xian smiled and nodded.

The strategic cooperation is going smoothly, and we are getting closer and closer each time. I believe that after the new products come out, the final details will not be a problem.

"By the way, brother, do you want to invite Feng Jin and Gao Feiyang to help you?"

After reaching a consensus on strategic cooperation, Zuo Xianwei brought up the original topic again.

"You should invite them, brother. Since Chen's Fishing Gear and Golden Arowana have the intention of strategic cooperation, we can't favor one over the other." Chen Yuan thought for a moment and shook his head to decline.

In the two rankings of the Fishing Tackle Brand Super League, he believes in Wang Tao and Xiaoyuwang in the individual competition. As for the team battle, Xu Bai, Dongfang Qingyang and Huangmao are not bad in technology either.

The overall level of the other masters is also not low.

On average, the team's overall strength is still among the best in Sichuan Province. With the increase in the enhanced bait, I believe the final result will not be bad.

"Well, Jin Longyu has invited these two masters." In this case, Zuo Xian decided to invite two of them. They were masters at the instructor level, so he would not allow other brands to be invited.

Then the two chatted about the arrangements for the preliminaries. After finalizing the details such as the competition process, Zuo Xian said hello and left.

Chen Yuan was also going to arrange the events. The competition process of the Fishing Tackle Brand Super League was the same as other competitions, with provinces as sub-competition areas, and each sub-competition area would decide five places.

These five places will be decided through preliminaries and semi-finals. About half of the competitors will be eliminated in two rounds, and the remaining fishing gear brands will start the national ranking competition and the finals.

If the number of participating brands is too small, which is not conducive to conducting the preliminaries and semi-finals, the sub-competition areas will be merged. According to the registration situation for this session, there are a total of thirteen sub-competition areas across the country.

Although there are not many brands that have qualified to participate in the Sichuan Province competition area, there are 32 brands, and the average number is among the top in the country, so it is a separate competition area.

Both the preliminaries and semi-finals will be held at Chen Yuan Fishing Ground.

"Jingle Bell."

Just as Chen Yuan was preparing to arrange the event, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was Chen Dong calling.

"Hey, Uncle Dong."

After Chen Yuan answered the call, he smiled and shouted obediently.

"Where are you?" Chen Dong asked on the phone.

"At the fish pond, we're preparing to arrange the competition for the day after tomorrow." Chen Yuan replied.

"Come to the village committee first."

"Okay, Uncle Dong." Chen Yuan responded quickly.

After hanging up the phone, the smile on Chen Yuan's face disappeared and his brows gradually frowned.

Why did Uncle Dong come to Yucheng Village?
And from Uncle Dong's tone just now, there seemed to be no major ripples, which was obviously different from the past. Could something have happened?
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan frowned even deeper. Without delay, he rode his tricycle straight to the village committee, turned the accelerator all the way to the bottom, and arrived at the village committee in less than two minutes.

After jumping off the tricycle, Chen Yuan came to Chen Wenbin's office with ease, and Chen Dong was indeed there.

"Uncle Dong, how come you have time to come to Yucheng Village today? Is there any work you want to inspect? Uncle Bin, I, and the entire Yucheng Village will definitely cooperate with us."

Chen Yuan walked out of the office with a smile on his face, and took out a cigarette and handed it forward.

Chen Dong had no expression on his face, and then pointed to the opposite side.
"sit."

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Chen Dong's tone, Chen Yuan glanced at Chen Wenbin awkwardly. The latter just smiled helplessly and did not give any hints.

But Chen Yuan was not panicked. The fact that Uncle Dong was willing to take the cigarette he handed over showed that it was not a big problem.

He pulled a chair over and sat obediently opposite, waiting for Chen Dong's "scolding".

"Has Yucheng Film and Television's share been invested entirely in promoting tea beverage brands?"

Looking at Chen Yuan's appearance of listening to a lesson, Chen Dong shook his head and smiled helplessly. Then his expression softened a little and he spoke lightly.

It turned out to be the case.

Chen Yuan understood instantly that Uncle Dong was still worried that the tea brand was a bottomless pit and would affect the village-enterprise cooperation project.

After all, this is a very practical era. If you launch a project with great fanfare but there is no profit to be shared, how many people would be willing to continue working on it?
How can this project proceed?

"Uncle Dong, calm down. I didn't think this through."

Chen Yuan relaxed a lot, leaned forward and handed over the lighter to light it.

Chen Dong looked at him deeply, held the cigarette in his mouth and lit it, then softened his tone, "Of course, your uncle Bin has explained this to me, and it's not your fault in the end, but there is something I have to tell you."

"Uncle Dong, just say it. We young people are not thoughtful enough when doing things, so we need people like you who can see the overall situation to remind us." Chen Yuan looked like he was humbly seeking advice, and his attitude was very good.

Chen Dong raised his hand and nodded. Chen Yuan shook his head speechlessly.

Then he took a document from the desk and tapped it.

"what is this?"

"The contract for the new rural construction project." Chen Yuan took a look. He was very familiar with it. After all, his signature was on it. The new rural construction project was the one that was secured for him.

"Since you know, why don't you follow the contract?" Chen Dong asked softly.

Chen Yuan was slightly stunned, somewhat confused.

Why didn’t they follow the contract? What went wrong?

"The new rural construction project is already more than halfway completed." Chen Dong took the ashtray and knocked out the ashes.

"I really didn't notice this." Chen Yuan said and glanced at Chen Wenbin.

This is the truth. He doesn't care much about these projects in the village. His recent focus has been on Three Sheep Tea, Yucheng Film and Television, and CAA events.

Chen Dong pointed at Chen Yuan twice, then shook his head, not knowing what to say.

If it were other project managers, they would complain about being poor if they were short of money every now and then, and would try every possible means to treat people to meals or give them gifts, just to get the project payment as soon as possible.

Chen Yuan, on the other hand, never asked a single question about money from beginning to end. He didn't even know the progress of the project and didn't care at all about the payment corresponding to the progress.

You say he is rich, but all the village enterprise projects were invested in the tea industry, and he has not received a penny. You say he has no money, but he has not mentioned a word until now.

"Although the profit from the project is not as high as that of Yucheng Film and Television, at least the villagers' wages do not need to be subsidized, which is also a considerable amount."

"If your uncle Bin hadn't been keeping an eye on the progress of the project and communicating with me, and if you hadn't come down to inspect it today, would you have waited until the project was finished before asking for the money?"

Chen Dong glared at Chen Yuan and said unhappily.

Chen Yuan smiled awkwardly.

He finally understood that Uncle Dong was not really angry about investing all projects in the tea industry, but was considering the funding issue for him.

"I'm not thinking of paying for this in advance. It's probably similar to the dividends from the village enterprise. Even if the Three Sheep don't make any progress, it can guarantee the income of Yucheng Village. It's like Uncle Dong helping to support the bottom line." Chen Yuan chuckled.

Chen Dong and Chen Wenbin smiled at each other when they heard this.

Even a fool could hear the perfunctory tone in Chen Yuan’s words, but there are some things that don’t need to be taken so seriously.

"We have applied for 45 million for your project payment this time. After the inspection just now, we are going through the process. It is estimated that it will be credited to your account within the next two days. As for the subsequent project payment, we will settle the payment after the project progress reaches 80% and is completely completed."

Chen Dong's expression completely relaxed and he talked about the arrangements for the project payment.

"Thank you, Uncle Dong." Chen Yuan expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

I'm really grateful.

At the beginning of the year, Chen Dong approved the first payment for the construction work. Although the amount was not much, it was directly deposited into the account. Now there is another payment.

The two sums together amount to 50 million, and Chen Yuan never mentioned it, but Chen Dong took the initiative to approve it. How can he not be grateful?

"There's no need to say thank you. Let's not be so formal behind closed doors. But I want to say one thing." Chen Dong put out the cigarette in the ashtray and looked at Chen Yuan seriously.

"Uncle Dong, don't worry. I won't touch the interests of the village and enterprises again." Chen Yuan promised with a smile.

He thought that Chen Dong wanted to say that the tea brand would affect other projects, so he would definitely pay out the profits of the village enterprise as scheduled and would not use them.

But this is not what Chen Dong wants to say.
