Chapter 393 Signing Contract
In an extended Cadillac, Chris Barber, who had dressed himself meticulously, frowned gloomily, and next to him sat a very handsome young man.
"Father, why did you agree to cooperate with them?"
The young man was clearly puzzled for a long time before he babbled on, "Even if we were to create a sub-brand, this company called Tang Yun wouldn't be our first choice. Furthermore, a 5% commission on net profits is far too low. Even at 30%, there would still be plenty of people willing to work with us."
"It's already been confirmed. You don't need to ask the reason." Cribber glanced at the young man and said, "I'll introduce you to him later. You'll be the one to contact them about future cooperation."
"But……"
"You don't have to say more." The young man was about to ask the reason when he was stopped by Cribber.
"Don't play any tricks on the cooperation. After signing the contract today, they are now part of Burberry. We can't let outsiders laugh at us. But there's no need to do everything we can to help them. Just let them fend for themselves."
The young man was stunned, obviously not understanding what Cribber meant.
In fact, even Cribber himself was very confused about this matter. If he had a choice, he would definitely not agree to sign a contract with Tang Shuo.
But now that things have developed to this point, it is definitely not possible not to sign a contract. The fastest update is here.
Although the creation of this sub-brand will not have a devastating impact on Burberry, it is impossible to ignore this impact.
Chris Barber now wants this sub-brand to succeed, but also wants to see it fail, and his mood is very complicated.
If the sub-brand is successful, it will undoubtedly prove Burberry's huge influence and may also become a new opportunity for Burberry to seize market share.
If he fails, he will avoid the threat from Tang Shuo, but he will inevitably face doubts from the media from all walks of life, and even the credibility of the brand will be reduced.
Comparing the two, Cribber could only decide not to help either.
Soon the car stopped in front of the Burberry Group headquarters, and two security guards came to open the car door. At the same time, a large group of reporters with microphones followed.
Cribber frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
"These reporters arrived this morning and have been waiting here." The security guard used his body to separate the surging reporters and replied respectfully.
A look of anger instantly appeared on Cribber's face. He got out of the car only after the bodyguards in the cars in front and behind came over.
Although Cribber hadn't concealed the signing of the contract with Tang Shuo today, he hadn't leaked any information. The reporter in front of him wasn't invited by him. Now that this situation had occurred, the only plausible explanation was that Tang Shuo had leaked the news.
"Mr. Chris Barber, I heard that your partner this time is a Chinese. Why did you choose a Chinese to represent Burberry's sub-brand? What's the significance of doing so?" A female reporter wearing glasses asked, holding a microphone.
Cribber did not stop and completely ignored the reporter's questions.
"Mr. Cribber, what is the mode of your cooperation this time? Can you tell us in detail?" another reporter asked.
"What is the main business direction of this sub-brand? Will it overlap with Burberry's current business?"
The reporters received an anonymous tip in the morning saying that Burberry Group would open a sub-brand.
It is actually very common for some brands to create new sub-brands in a certain field. Although Burberry has an extraordinary status in the British Empire, it definitely does not need such a big plan.
However, when they saw that their collaborator was Chinese, they all became excited.
Luxury goods itself is a highly profitable industry. Some families that control these brands attach great importance to the brand's pedigree and will not allow others to get involved. The approach Burberry chose this time is really surprising.
No one would believe that the wealthy Burberry would choose to cooperate with others due to financial problems. So this can only mean that Burberry has other unknown secrets.
Cribber stopped in front of the group's gate and turned to the reporters who had caught up with him. "The Chinese market has great potential, and our company attaches great importance to it. As for choosing to partner with a Chinese company this time, it's because we want to create a new model of cooperation."
Facing the flashing camera, Cribber was silent for a moment before continuing, "As for other issues, they are confidential to our company and cannot be disclosed here."
Cribber nodded to the reporter in front of him and then walked directly into the company.
Of course, the reporters present would not believe Chris Barber's nonsense. This kind of thing is almost equivalent to giving money to others. When did Burberry become a charitable enterprise?
But Cribber refused to give in, and they had no choice but to set their sights on the Chinese man who was about to sign a contract with Cribber.
After a while, a black business Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of the Burberry Group building.
After Tang Shuo got out of the car with the help of Zhang Jingxin, he walked directly into the building.
The reporters sitting on the steps not far away also saw this scene, but they didn't even move, and no one paid any attention to Tang Shuo and the others.
Being a reporter requires a certain level of discernment, and judging a person's identity based on their speech and behavior is a must-do. In their eyes, Tang Shuo and Zhang Jingxin didn't look like the Chinese nationals who would be signing with Cribbble.
Apart from their identities, these two people don't look like they can cooperate with Cribber in any way, no matter how they dress.
A week had passed since Tang Shuo met the sun, and he was only just able to get out of bed and move around.
However, this trouble was temporarily solved, and Tang Shuo could finally breathe a sigh of relief and no longer had to worry about being hunted by anyone.
Yu Haoran was seriously injured this time, and he probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed for at least two weeks. Jesus, on the other hand, was in better shape, and once he was able to move freely, Tang Shuo sent him back to China.
After informing them of the appointment they had made with Cribber, Tang Shuo and Zhang Jingxin entered the building unhindered.
Tang Shuo smiled and asked, "Did you arrange the reporter's matter?"
He didn't take care of other things this week and was very competent as a hands-off boss. The cooperation with Burberry was also handled by Zhang Jingxin and Yang Chen. This matter was obviously not his work.
"You can see this?" Zhang Jingxin asked in surprise.
He had just thought of the idea of 'leaking' the news that morning. After thinking that this method was feasible, he immediately started to act after a brief discussion with Yang Chen.
Originally, he wanted to personally answer Tang Shuo's questions during the interview later, but he didn't expect Tang Shuo to see through his plan at a glance.
Tang Shuo chuckled and said, "If it was Cribber who leaked the news, they definitely wouldn't be sitting there waiting. Since we've ruled this out, the only one with a motive to leak this is you."
Zhang Jingxin smiled and said, "I'm just trying to build momentum ahead of time. Didn't you say Burberry wouldn't give us any help other than our identities? So I can only figure it out on my own. After the contract is signed, I'll give a simple interview. By then, there should be a lot of media outlets promoting us."
"No need for interviews." Tang Shuo said after a pause, "Let them speculate for a while, and then announce the news when the first retail store opens in two weeks."
Zhang Jingxin's eyes lit up, and he smiled and said, "It seems I still need to wait a while before I can become famous."
"You'll get tired of it someday." Tang Shuo replied.
As they were talking, the two of them walked into the elevator. Tang Shuo had been here once before, so he was familiar with the place.
When the elevator reached the floor where the conference room was located, the secretary who had received Tang Shuo last time was already waiting for them at the elevator door.
The secretary greeted Tang Shuo and said, "Mr. Barber is waiting for you."
