Bernard opened his mouth and looked at Chen Geng, who said lightly, "I'm sorry, I don't sell!", and couldn't believe what he heard: someone dared to refuse him?

"Do you know who you're talking to?" Bernard, whose brain was finally back online, was a little out of shape: "I'm a Ford ......"

"You know! You are the deputy director of marketing of Ford Motor, you just said," Chen Geng pouted, a deputy director of marketing dared to be so bullish in front of Lao Tzu, who to scare: "Those who understand know that you are the deputy director of marketing of Ford Motor, and those who don't know think that you are a shareholder of Ford Motor...... Mr. Bernard, please note who you are. ”

“......”

Bernard was choked by Chen Geng's words, and he didn't come up.

Chen Geng's habit has always been that others respect me for a foot, and I respect people, since Bernard dares to pretend to be X in front of him, then he still has a woolen face? He continued unceremoniously: "Mr. Bernard, since you also know that you are only the deputy director of marketing, then technology and product introduction are not something that you can say as a mere deputy director of marketing, right?"

"You...... You ......"

Bernard was stunned by Chen Geng's words, and pointed at Chen Geng speechless.

As the deputy director of marketing of Ford Motor, he was flattered and touted when he walked there, and over time he really thought he was a big man, to paraphrase a sentence a few years later, that is, the current Bernard has mentally felt that Ford has his own part, but Chen Geng's merciless ridicule directly put Bernard at the spiritual level of "the emperor's new clothes" Pick it up: You think too much, you are just a worker of the Ford Group, you are a senior worker, and Ford has nothing to do with you.

Annoyance and anger is Bernard's first reaction, and when this kid who dares to mock himself is still an Asian, the annoyance and anger in Bernard's heart is not only doubled?!

But since Chen Geng has already turned on the poisonous tongue mode, how can he let him go so easily? He sneered and said: "What? Am I not right? Don't say that you are only the deputy director of marketing, there is also a marketing director above, even if you are the marketing director, it is not your turn to introduce any products and technologies, if Ford is interested in our design, you can, send someone who can be calculated." ”

But Bernard then proved to Chen Geng that there is no one in his eyes, but he can become the deputy director of marketing of Ford Motor, not just to evaluate a mouth, he has real talent and learning......

"I'm underestimating you. ”

Although he may not have really calmed down, Bernard controlled his emotions in a very short period of time, he took a deep breath, and looked at Chen Geng's gaze with a little jealousy: "Fernandez's heart, you can make me lose control of my emotions in just a few words, I have to admit that you are very powerful, but all this is just based on my previous carelessness, from now on, I will treat you as an opponent worthy of my seriousness." ”

Ford's assistant director of marketing is not everyone's right to be.

Chen Geng felt a little emotional, but although Chen Geng was a little surprised that Bernard could quickly control and adjust his emotions, he also felt normal, if he didn't even have this self-control ability, others could make him lose his mind by casually using a little trick, and he couldn't sit in his current position.

Now that the other party has begun to get serious, Chen Geng also put away the unruly face just now, and said with a straight face: "Very good, I also hope to have a correct attitude." ”

"So you're still going to sell the exterior and interior patents for this 'beast,' right?" Bernard asked.

Still digging a hole for yourself?

Chen Geng smiled: "Mr. Bernard, although the beast is developed based on the pickup chassis of Ford's F-250, we have applied for relevant exterior and interior patents, so this kind of temptation is actually boring." Let's put it bluntly, Ford wants to buy our exterior and interior patents? No problem, as long as Ford pays $5 million, Fernandez will license the exterior and interior patents to Ford. ”

Although Bernard is not the master of whether to introduce this set of patents, as the deputy director of marketing, he still has the right to feedback the situation to the decision-making level and make suggestions to the decision-making level.

"$5 million?" Bernard was stunned, he was a little frightened by Chen Geng's good appetite: "You really dare to speak." ”

After a pause, Bernard looked at Chen Geng with a playful look and said: "To be honest, this design is indeed worth $5 million, to be more precise, Ford will definitely not be able to make this kind of design with $5 million, but do you know what the biggest mistake you made was?"

"Huh?"

"You shouldn't have this car on display here," Bernard gloated, "You put this car here, and we can take pictures, and with the photos, Ford can develop a similar exterior and interior without your authorization...... You should understand that this is not difficult for Ford. ”

Chen Geng knew that Bernard was telling the truth.

Design, especially the design concept, is actually a very metaphysical thing, you don't know it, you don't know, but once you have a reference, you may immediately understand it, or even touch it.

Compared with the "beast" modified by Fernandez, this generation of Ford F-class pickup is not only ugly, it is like the difference between a country girl and a Hollywood star, but if you can refer to the appearance and interior of Fernandez's "beast", the F series pickup truck is like getting the guidance of a professional image consultant, although it may not be able to compare with Hollywood stars, but at least it is a fashionable beauty.

Of course, none of this is the point, the point is ...... I'm following your example and putting on my own makeup, is there a problem?

Even if you know that I am learning from you, what can you do with me?

Looking at Chen Geng's expression, Bernard couldn't help but show a smug smile on his face: "Figured it out, considering the cost, if it's $500,000, Ford can still consider it, but if you want more...... Hehe, Ford has a large team of lawyers, and it has strategic partnerships with many of the top law firms in the United States......"

This is a threat to Chen Geng.

If you dare not agree to my offer, what if Lao Tzu will copy you? If you have the ability, you can go to the court to sue me, Ford has money, you can hire the best lawyers and law firms, and you are not afraid of lawsuits, and we can even grind with you slowly while infringing on the rights to see who can drag it out.

In a word, boy, you can't afford to play this game at all!

Chen Geng smiled: "Mr. Bernard, it stands to reason that what you said is correct, but you forgot something?"

"Oh?" Bernard looked at Chen Geng with interest, "What have we forgotten?"

"First, Fernandez also has millions of dollars a year, you can afford to hire the top barrister, but I'm sorry, we can also ask for it;" smiled and raised his second finger: "Ford wants to fight a lawsuit with us for three or five years, and drag it out until we give up on our own?" Actually, it doesn't matter, this is what I want, Ford is not afraid of a lawsuit with Fernandez, but I'm a little curious, is Ford afraid of pressure from competitors?"

"What do you mean?" Bernard's face changed slightly.

"It's not interesting, I'm just curious, what will Ford's competitors do if Ford gets into a long tort lawsuit?

Bernard: "......"

He was a little panicked, Chen Geng's reaction was not expected at all, according to normal logic, after hearing his threat, this kid shouldn't be panicked, right? How could he still be so calm? Not only was he calm, but he could also think of the impact of this lawsuit on Ford?

Oh, God!

What the hell is this guy's head on? How the hell did he come up with this?

But Chen Geng's words were not finished! Without waiting for Bernard to speak, Chen Geng continued: "Actually, I don't understand your logic very well, if this lawsuit really has to be fought for three or five years, not to mention the impact of public opinion on Ford, just after the lawsuit in the past few years, Ford needs to pay more than 5 million US dollars in legal fees, right?"

As for public opinion, Bernard should know that the public and public opinion always like to see Goliath and the giants fighting, and like to be on the side of the weak, right?

Once this lawsuit really fought, it is definitely the focus of public opinion and media attention, in this lawsuit, the giant Ford is naturally a negative image of bullying, bullying the weak, and snatching the bread of the weak Fernandez company, what a blow to the image of Ford, Bernard, you can't imagine?

Ford is certainly not afraid of lawsuits, but don't you realize that the longer this lawsuit lasts, the worse it will be for Ford's reputation?

So if I'm not mistaken, would Ford rather spend millions or even tens of millions of dollars on its reputation and corporate image, and decide to take advantage of spending innumerable, possibly billions, or even billions of dollars to rebuild its corporate image, for many years to come, and fight a lawsuit against me?

IMHO, don't think the board of directors of Ford Motor would make such a stupid decision, so are you sure this threat worked for me?"

Bernard: "......"

Bernard was dumbfounded, his face turned pale, and sweat trickled down his face.
