Chapter 116 Trademark usage fee, one yuan

Hu Yang followed Lu Yali into a private room on the third floor. Zhang Zhongyi stood up with a smile and said: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Hu, I'm just waiting for you two. Come on, please take a seat."

Hu Yang shook hands with Zhang Zhongyi politely, and took a quick glance after sitting down. There were three people sitting on the table at the moment, two men and one woman, all of whom looked impressive.

Zhang Zhongyi then briefly introduced the surnames of the three people, but did not introduce their identities.

The food and drinks were served quickly, and Zhang Zhongyi never talked about business. He kept the banquet going in a relaxed manner while stimulating the atmosphere in the private room.

"Mr. Hu, I'd like to toast you. To be honest, I used to think that you were a bit young after all, and you would be able to catch up with us old guys in a few years. But now I don't dare to rely on you anymore..."

Zhang Zhongyi suddenly picked up his wine glass, and there was something in his words.

"Mr. Zhang, let me respect you." Hu Yang smiled, raised his glass and touched it with Zhang Zhongyi. "Don't praise me like this, I'm afraid I will be proud..."

Lu Yali sat next to Hu Yang, burst out laughing and said, "Can you two talk properly? Just say what you have to say, don't act like a charade."

The other three people also smiled politely and said nothing.

Hu Yang noticed that the three people basically sat there very calmly tonight and rarely spoke. But when Zhang Zhongyi started to get to the point, they shifted their attention.

"Mr. Hu, we are old friends, so let me tell you straight. When you quit Yibaijia (chain), I accidentally forgot to talk to you about the registered trademark. Today I want to hear your opinion.

....."

Sure enough, it was for the "Yibaijia" trademark, which did not surprise Hu Yang.

"Isn't it? I forgot about it at the time. I still have the trademark of Yibaijia Community Supermarket Chain in my possession, and I can authorize it to be used by Xijiang Friendship."

Hu Yang smiled sincerely and did not avoid this sensitive issue.

The corner of Zhang Zhongyi's mouth twitched, and he felt aggrieved in his heart. He wished he could teach this little fox a few words. But he couldn't, he couldn't let the little lose the big.

"Mr. Hu, let's not beat around the bush. Yibaijia (chain) is now fully operational, and I can't possibly change the brand now. Just hurry up and tell us your authorization period and usage fee directly."

Hu Yang smiled, without looking at Lu Yali and the other three, and said: "I can give Mr. Zhang a permanent license. Of course, the scope of application of the Yibaijia trademark is limited to community chain supermarkets. As for the usage fee, I will not charge more.

Just charge one yuan as a token fee..."

"How many?"

Zhang Zhongyi couldn't believe his ears. He was not so surprised even when Hu Yang said the price of 100 million yuan.

Lu Yali also felt a little incredible, feeling that she still couldn't see through this handsome boy.

It is not an exaggeration to call today's dinner a "Hongmen Banquet". The relevant departments also specially dispatched three people to mediate the trademark use rights issue for Zhang Zhongyi and Hu Yang.

Xijiang Friendship is a large enterprise in Xijiang and a major taxpayer in the province and city. It is related to the employment of tens of thousands of employees. If Xijiang Friendship, which is about to be listed, is in trouble just for the sake of a registered trademark, many people are not willing to see it.

the result.

Therefore, even though Lu Yali looked calm and calm before, she was actually under a lot of pressure. If the negotiation failed, even if she could protect Populus euphratica, she would have to pay a huge price.

But Hu Yang's answer once again subverted her understanding. What is the one yuan royalty plus permanent license?

"Yes, it's one yuan. Mr. Zhang, we have always cooperated very happily. Registering a trademark is not a trap I dug for you. You know, before Yibaijia (chain) opened, I had already

Registered this brand.

Now that I have withdrawn from Yibaijia (chain), I have also gained a lot from the equity transfer. No matter what, I can't stick to your neck on this matter, right? However, you can safely use this brand for community chain supermarkets, but for large supermarkets

But it doesn’t work. The first Yibaijia large supermarket I initiated will open soon..."

Hu Yang had no intention of using the registered trademark to extract another sum of money from Zhang Zhongyi. If he really did that, it would be difficult for him to survive in Xijiang.

Didn’t you see that during today’s dinner, some great gods were invited to make things happen?

The three people were stunned for a while when they heard Hu Yang's words. But soon, they showed kind smiles to Hu Yang.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Lu, and Mr. Hu. The three of us still have something to do, so we'll take the first step."

The three of them exchanged a few words briefly, then suddenly stood up to say goodbye.

Lu Yali and Hu Yang smiled and nodded, and said a few polite words, and then Zhang Zhongyi sent them out.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Hu, you always bring me surprises. You may have figured out what those three people do. If you insist on asking Xijiang Friendship for a large sum of money, I can also help you.

Suppress this matter, but it will definitely cause endless troubles. It will be better if you handle it this way, and everyone will worry less."

Lu Yali did not introduce the identities of those people, not because of their high status, but because they represent the attitude of the relevant departments.

"I didn't dig a hole for Mr. Zhang in the first place. It's because he didn't realize the importance of trademark protection. Forget it, let's not talk about it. This matter has become a thing of the past."

Hu Yang was speaking from his heart. He had no motive or intention to extort Xijiang's friendship.

After a while, Zhang Zhongyi came back after seeing off the guests.

"Mr. Hu, you always act out of common sense. No wonder Mr. Pang said you have a wild imagination. Hey, you taught this lesson well. Our company now recognizes the importance of brand protection from top to bottom.

"Then what, if I set up a large supermarket, are we really not allowed to use Yibaijia's trademark?"

Zhang Zhongyi is really a person who can take things in hand and let go. Just after going out for a trip like this, he seemed to have forgotten the misunderstanding with Hu Yang.

"Mr. Zhang, Yibaijia Supermarket is about to open. I definitely can't give you authorization in this regard. Sister Lu, do you think so?"

Since Zhang Zhongyi called him over today through Lu Yali, he must have known about his cooperative relationship with her, so Hu Yang didn't feel any burden at all when he said this.

"Mr. Zhang, it's just like you can't license the Xijiang Friendship brand to others. However, we can consider cooperation. You are going to be listed soon, and you have plenty of funds. By then we can carry out a second round of financing.

Welcome Mr. Zhang to invest."

Lu Yali's idea is in line with Hu Yang's wishes. If Xijiang Friendship is willing to cooperate by then, Yibaijia Supermarket will soon occupy half of the Xijiang retail market.

"Okay, you're all waiting for me here. It's not impossible to consider this matter, but we have to wait until we go public."

Zhang Zhongyi doesn't think there is anything wrong with the two parties talking about cooperation again. From the fact that Hu Yang only charges one yuan in trademark usage fees, it can be seen that this is a trustworthy partner.
