"Of course it's true. If you're interested, let's talk about it in person. After all, this is no small matter."
Hu Yuan deliberately arranged to meet Ouyang Yuechu so that he could properly swindle her out of money.
"Okay, okay, then I'll treat you to dinner at Longyue Hotel tonight. I hope Mr. Hu will do me the honor of attending."
Ouyang was so excited when he received the good news that he forgot everything else, including the thousand flip phones that Hu Yuan had tricked him into buying.
Hu Yuan arrived at Longyue Hotel on time. Ouyang Yuechu had already prepared everything and was happily waiting for Hu Yuan there.
As for the semi-smartphone, Ouyang Yuechu was extremely grateful to Hu Yuan.
"Two million? Mr. Hu, isn't that a bit too much?"
However, when Ouyang Yuechu heard this news, it was not so easy for her to accept.
“Miss Yuechu, this is a huge project. Society is progressing, and everything is appreciating in value. Take your family’s orchards for example. Do you think they’re worth ten million? I could have bought them for ten million back then. Moreover, your brother bought the flip phone distribution rights from me for five million. So, the two million I mentioned earlier was just for the one-year distribution rights.”
Hu Yuan had already prepared a huge pit, just waiting for this stupid woman to jump in.
"this…"
Ouyang Yuechu had also heard about Ouyang Jierui signing a deal to become an agent for flip phones.
Therefore, she also thought that what Hu Yuan said made a lot of sense. The reason she hesitated so much must be because Dongyang Group didn't have much working capital left.
"Mr. Hu, if we only sign a one-year agency agreement, it might not be so easy to renew it later. So I'd like to sign a lifetime agency agreement. What do you think..."
"A lifetime contract is also acceptable, but it must be at least ten million."
Hu Yuan's casual remark was meant to make Ouyang Yuechu pay even more attention.
"That's too much. Could you give me some time to raise the money?"
Ouyang Yuechu was clearly still unwilling to give up.
“There isn’t that much time. Here’s what we’ll do: you prepare eight million within five days, and I’ll cover the remaining two million for you first. Just remember to pay me back when you make a profit later.”
Hu Yuan is quite accomplished in psychology, and this trick has always worked well for a novice like Ouyang Yuechu.
"Okay, thank you very much for your help, Mr. Hu. I will definitely raise eight million within five days."
Sure enough, Ouyang Yuechu immediately fell for it. Not only did she happily agree, but she also diligently drank with Hu Yuan afterwards. It's likely that even if Hu Yuan made any unreasonable demands, she would gladly agree.
However, Hu Yuan is not a person without principles.
After dealing with this woman, Hu Yuan returned to the company and patiently waited for her for the next five days.
For the next five days, Ouyang Yuechu focused all her attention on raising money, and didn't have much time or energy to think about being tricked into buying a flip phone by Hu Yuan.
Five days passed quickly, and Ouyang Yuechu had raised enough money, which she personally handed over to Hu Yuan.
Hu Yuan's contract was prepared long ago, and it stated that it was for ten million, which means that Dongyang Group would now owe Hu Yuan two million.
After all this, Dongyang Group has been badly screwed over by Hu Yuan. When Ouyang Jierui returns, he'll probably be so angry he'll vomit blood.
After receiving the money, Hu Yuan immediately set off for Haidu City. The cash of around nine million was enough to sign agency rights for four more provinces.
To facilitate management, Hu Yuan signed agency agreements for four surrounding provinces.
In other words, Hu Yuan secured the distribution rights for semi-smartphones in all five provinces of Southwest China.
Although Hu Yuan now only has these five contracts left and is penniless again, these five contracts are of extraordinary importance.
Each province needs to establish a headquarters and recruit a large number of staff, which are all substantial expenses.
In order to raise enough money, Hu Yuan first went to Yun City, the capital of the neighboring province of Dongyun.
Yun City's development is not bad, but compared with Haidu City, it is far behind.
Upon arriving in Yun City, Hu Yuan immediately spread the word, seeking partners and recruiting staff for the future.
Hu Yuan no longer had the energy to do sales, so he even gave up the operation of the Yun City flagship store, and only planned to establish a service headquarters.
This way, the pressure will be less, and the agency fees will be higher.
As soon as the news spread, more than a dozen people arrived, all wanting the operating rights of the main store.
Because the main store will be the most influential store in Yun City in the future, and no branch store in the city will have the same influence as the main store.
The head office has a 1 million yuan agency fee, the other four branches in the east, west, south and north each have a 500,000 yuan agency fee, and each city also has a 500,000 yuan agency fee.
This is the agency fee set by Hu Yuan.
This number is acceptable to most people.
In particular, no one would consider 500,000 to be too high for the agency fees in each city.
Therefore, there are still many competitors.
Hu Yuan spent about twenty days screening these people, and at the same time, he also made arrangements for the staff at headquarters, as well as the location and decoration of the headquarters company.
Next, all that remains for Dongyun Province is to train its staff and find a suitable manager.
Talent is always what Hu Yuan needs most.
But there was no time for any of that. Hu Yuan had to rush to the next provincial capital immediately, otherwise there wouldn't be enough time to prepare everything for the opening.
Another month passed, and Hu Yuan managed to recruit all the staff needed in the provincial capitals. He also used the agency fees collected from each province to secure the office address for the headquarters.
It was around this time that semi-smartphones were launched on the market, and Hu Yuan immediately returned to his original company to train the veteran employees of the head office.
Only after training these veteran employees and then assigning them to various provincial capitals to train newly recruited employees can Hu Yuan's several headquarters operate simultaneously.
Just as Hu Yuan was extremely busy, the two people who had gone on their world tour returned.
After learning all this, Ouyang Jierui was indeed furious and immediately came to confront him.
"Hu Yuan, you're messing with me while I'm not around, aren't you?"
Ouyang Jierui violently kicked open the door to Hu Yuan's office and roared.
"In the entire province, besides me, your Dongyang Group is the first to know about semi-smartphones. What more do you want?"
Hu Yuan's calm reply.
"Really? What's the deal with that ten million?"
Ouyang Jierui gritted his teeth whenever he mentioned this matter.
Do you think it's not worth it?
"certainly."
"OK."
"So you've agreed to refund the money?"
"On what grounds?"
