Chapter 497: Reasoning
Cribber carefully read the document handed to him by Tang Shuo, then immediately threw the document in his hand on the table. He leaned back and was even unwilling to look at the document again, as if there was something poisonous on it that people should avoid.
"You go out for a while." Cribbble turned around and said to John.
After the other party turned and left, he immediately said to Tang Shuo, "No, even I can't agree to such a large sum of money. Let alone get it approved at the company meeting."
"You are you, and the meeting is the meeting. I don't think there's any connection between the two," Tang Shuo said with a smile, like a prostitute trying to trick a woman into repenting. "Let's first discuss Mr. Barber's problem."
"I can't agree to this." Cribber said firmly, but he didn't dare to look Tang Shuo in the eye.
"Everything should be done reasonably, right?" Tang Shuo asked.
reason?
Cribber glanced at Tang Shuo's face with disdain.
How shameless was this Chinese person to even dare to mention these two words in front of him? If he were to be reasonable, the Tang Yun brand probably wouldn't even exist now.
If Forbes created a list of the world's most shameless people, Chris Barber would definitely not hesitate to vote.
"Yes." Cribbble nodded.
"Look, the money I listed for you is all the company's advertising fees." Tang Shuo pointed to the document under the repayment slip and continued, "We mention the Burberry brand in every advertising campaign we put out, so it's like we're helping you with advertising."
Tang Shuo chuckled softly and continued, "In this case, it's reasonable for you to bear part of the expenses."
"Your GG fees only cost about 2 billion US dollars in total, but here there are more than 4 billion."
"Mr. Barber seems to be quite knowledgeable about these things." Tang Shuo asked casually, then corrected him, "But I think Mr. Barber must have misunderstood."
Cribber snorted lightly, obviously somewhat disdainful of Tang Shuo's words.
"What's the most expensive thing now? Creativity, of course."
Tang Shuo answered his own question. He then continued, "These GGs are the fruit of our previous hard work. This payment also includes your licensing fee. You can use any of them at will. Furthermore, your previous actions have had a serious impact on our company, so naturally, you must make some compensation."
Who wants your broken gg?
Cribber grinned, but couldn't find any reason to refute the other party. Although Tang Shuo's words were a bit distorted, they could still be considered the truth. It had to be admitted that with Tang Yun's overwhelming GG offensive, Burberry's sales had also achieved some results.
But Cribber would never agree to bear the $4 billion cost silently.
Tang Shuo poured Clay Barber a glass of champagne, and said with emotion, "Mr. Barber, to be honest, Tang Yun is having financial problems. If they can't find some funding, Tang Yun Group will probably declare bankruptcy soon."
'Bankruptcy'.
Tang Shuo said so much, but only these two words made Cribber feel better. He even hoped that Tang Yun would declare bankruptcy right now.
"I have a weak psychological endurance. I might do something outrageous. How about a videotape or something..."
At this point, Tang Shuo glanced at Cribber's face. Seeing that his expression had become serious again, he immediately shook his head and said, "I don't mean to threaten you."
Isn't this a threat?
At this moment, Cribber even suspected that Tang Shuo had been insulting his IQ.
He used to think that Tang Shuo didn't dare to fight to the death with them, but he ignored the other party's reaction if Tang Shuo was really forced into a desperate situation.
"I really can't help you with this matter." Cribber sighed and said, "Such a large amount of funds requires the signatures of several shareholders in the family. It's not something I can decide on my own."
"I believe in Mr. Barber's ability."
Tang Shuo nodded encouragingly and continued, "Mr. Barber shouldn't be worrying about this money right now. He should be thinking about how to make money from the money that others have already given him."
"What do you mean?" Cribbble asked in confusion.
"I heard that the Lawrence family has already contacted you?"
Without waiting for Cribaber to answer, Tang Shuo continued, "Isn't this just to give you money?"
At this moment, Cribber suddenly felt that he was a little old, and his thinking could not even keep up with Tang Shuo's pace.
How did the Lawrence family get involved again for no reason?
Seeing Cribber's puzzled look, Tang Shuo could only explain again, "Don't they want the brand management rights? We can cooperate and deceive him without any problem."
“…”
Cribber opened his mouth in surprise, and when he looked at Tang Shuo again, the fear in his eyes became even stronger.
After pondering for a while, Cribber shook his head and said, "The Lawrence family has deep roots. It will be difficult to shake them."
"What if we add another ally?" Tang Shuo asked.
"What allies?"
"Miranda." Tang Shuo replied with a smile.
“…”
…
John has been pacing outside since he left the box, with a very anxious expression on his face.
Tang Shuo had told him in advance that it would take some time for him to take over the family, so he was not worried about his own affairs.
Although he didn't know what Tang Shuo and the other man were talking about at the moment, judging from his father's expression just now, it must be a very important matter.
What interested him was not the content of the matter, but whether Tang Shuo could successfully persuade his father.
If the other party fails now, it means that it will take a long time for him to take over the family.
But if he succeeds, it means that this is a good start and he should continue to work hard for it.
Snap...
The door of the box was pushed open, and Tang Shuo and the other person walked out together.
After seeing the expressions on the two men's faces, John breathed a sigh of relief and cast a look of admiration at Tang Shuo. He was convinced that Tang Shuo had been able to convince his father twice in a row.
Tang Shuo smiled at John, then said to Chris Barber, "Goodbye, Mr. Barber. I hope to see good news from you tomorrow."
With a solemn expression, Cribber just nodded slightly and did not answer Tang Shuo's words.
"Well, I wish you and your son a perfect dinner." Tang Shuo said with a smile, and then walked out of the hotel in his real body.
John hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Father, should we go in and eat first?"
"No more."
Cribber said coldly, "Go back now."
Seeing that the other party was really on the verge of getting angry, John didn't dare to say anything to persuade him. He nodded and immediately followed.
Along the way, Cribber didn't say a word to John, and John didn't dare to speak rashly, so both sides remained silent.
When they got home, Cribbble said to John, who was about to sneak upstairs, "Come to my study."
John agreed, then immediately ran to the living room to drink some water. After calming down, he walked towards the study.
He had long guessed that Cribber would sooner or later become suspicious of his relationship with Tang Shuo, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Pushing open the door of the study, John walked in and said, "Father, what's going on?"
Cribber, who had just sat down by the window, asked, "Are you familiar with Tang Shuo?"
“Not familiar.”
John immediately shook his head and said, "We just talked a few times when I was in charge of contacting their company."
Kerry Barber narrowed his eyes and then asked, "When did you receive his call?"
In fact, he did not suspect John at first, but on the way back, he thought more and more that something was wrong. Considering the changes in John during this period, Cribber began to feel strange.
