Chapter 741 [Get two](2/2)
Ellis was stunned and asked himself to get the money? He hadn't received the money yet!
........
Ellis and his lawyer came to Fila's headquarters together and met with President Thomas.
Thomas said happily: "I welcome Mr. Ellis to Fila's headquarters. I think you must hope to cooperate with us!"
Ellis shook his head, then took out a pair of fake Fila shoes and handed them to Thomas.
"Mr. Thomas, are these the sneakers you produce and sell?"
After Thomas took it and inspected it carefully, he said with a smile: "These are fake shoes! Although the workmanship is exquisite and the design is relatively fashionable and young, it uses the Tianzu patent, so it is definitely not produced and sold by us. However, these
People are really disgusting, they actually produce fake shoes of our brand, you should be damned!"
Ellis echoed: "They deserve to be damned for producing fake shoes, so you should call the police and find these people!"
Thomas was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head and said: "Mr. Ellis, even giants like Nike and Adidas have a large number of fake shoes, and we at Fila cannot avoid it. What's more, the cost of cracking down on counterfeiting is too high, and currently our company still has
I don’t have the energy to do this!”
Ellis said unwillingly: "They produce your fake shoes, are you indifferent?"
Thomas said: "We can only condemn them for the time being!"
Ellis added: "There are more and more fake shoes like this on the market, and you will be devastated!"
Thomas said: "No, Nike and Adidas are fine. The vast majority of Americans will still go to specialty stores to buy."
Ellis and the lawyer looked at each other. The president of Fila didn't seem angry at all, which surprised them. They originally wanted to join forces with Fila to uncover this fake group.
After leaving Fila, the lawyer said: "The fake Fila shoes on the market seem to only produce Tianzu soles and no other styles. Therefore, Fila and the others don't care, since they don't sell Tianzu sole technology anyway.
Fila shoes.”
Ellis nodded dejectedly. He had been upset by the fake shoes recently.
"Let's go talk to Adi again!"
........
The president of Adidas said directly when Ellis came again: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ellis, the board of directors has decided to abandon Tianzu sole technology, so we no longer have hope for negotiations."
Ellis quickly said: "I can lower the price!"
I thought Adi would agree, but the president of Adi shook his head and said: "Unless we continue to implement the previous treaty, we will not agree to other conditions. I know why Mr. Ellis is in a hurry to lower the price. It is because there is a large amount of demand in the market.
Tianzu fake shoes, so we have already anticipated the risks, plus the losses caused by us having completely removed Tianzu sports shoes from the shelves during this period, and many customers know that Fila bought Tianzu Technology...
.For these reasons, our board of directors has decided to develop it ourselves. Of course, if Mr. Ellis is willing to execute the previous contract, I will fight for Mr. Ellis."
Ellis angrily resigned, Adi was too bullying.
On the way, the lawyer said: "Adidas is worried about risks and takes the opportunity to lower the price. It is no longer the best buyer. On the contrary, Fila is very interested in Tianzu technology and is willing to give you 18% of the profit for each pair of Tianzu sneakers, which is quite good.
of!"
"However, Fila's sales are very poor, far behind Adidas and Nike!"
"Because of this, they are willing to give you a profit share. Moreover, Fila has a new owner and a new management, so they will definitely want to do something big. If Fila can return to its peak in 1997, then you can still do it every year
Earn tens of millions of dollars in share.”
Ellis felt a sudden pain in his heart. US$80 million turned into US$10 million. It was a huge difference between heaven and earth.
Of course, the price of 80 million is that he is blackmailing Adidas, which is impossible in itself, but Ellis is just unwilling to admit it.

Fila Headquarters.
Ellis led his legal team to really negotiate with Thomas management.
Thomas was very tough at this time and said: "For every pair of 'Tianzu sole' sports shoes produced and sold, we can only pay a maximum of 18% of the net profit. This is non-negotiable. Of course, if Mr. Ellis chooses us
,has many benefits."
"First, we have spent huge sums of money to crack down on counterfeit Tianzu sneakers, and we will also take over the lawsuit with Adidas."
"Second, we at Fila are getting a new look. Next, we will spend huge sums of money to sign sports stars, and change the old-fashioned design and the impression of shareholders, making sports shoes more fashionable and youthful. I believe that we can return to the peak of Jiuqi soon.
, and further catch up with Aduan and Nike."
Ellis made a tentative counteroffer: "How about 20 percent profit?"
Thomas shook his head and said: "18% is our highest sincerity price. After all, we have taken a lot of risks. This crackdown on counterfeit shoes may involve transnational lawsuits and searching for evidence, which will waste huge financial resources and energy."
After a battle, Ellis had to bow his head because Nike disdained this technology, Adidas had completely given up, and other sports brands were not as good as the conditions offered by Fila.
In the end, Ellis and Fila reached a cooperation agreement, and Fila successfully obtained the "Tianzu" sole technology, saving several years of time, energy, and financial resources, and obtained the core sole technology of professional sports shoes in one fell swoop.
After signing the contract, Thomas couldn't help but admire his boss's strategy. The Chinese businessman was indeed familiar with Sun Tzu's Art of War.
In fact, without Fila's intervention, Tianzu Technology could only choose brands other than Nike and Adidas. Because Adidas has decided not to be controlled by others, it is impossible to sign a contract with Ellis, and Nike directly dislikes it.
The 'Tianzu patent' expires in 20 years, and there are still ten years left, so Fila directly signed the contract for ten years.
At this point, Ellis can't wait to sign for 11 years.
After Fila obtained the Tianzu patent, the fake Tianzu shoes on the American market soon disappeared. Ellis had doubts, but he couldn't say it out. He was now bound to Fila, so naturally he wouldn't
