Chapter 114 I Believe You
"Originally, when our pharmaceutical company hires someone to endorse a product, according to the rules, we need to shoot the first advertisement and put it on the air before we pay the first endorsement fee. Since Doctor Li is in a hurry to use the money, and I personally admire Doctor Li's medical skills very much, then we will make special arrangements. I will send someone to Huier Hospital to sign the endorsement contract with you, and then pay the full endorsement fee on the spot."
Ma Wangcai said very considerately.
"Thank you, Mr. Ma, for taking care of me. However, I have to go to the teaching and research building to attend surgical training soon, so there is no rush. How about this, I will call you after get off work, okay?"
Li Quan always felt a little uneasy.
One hundred thousand yuan is equivalent to more than one year's salary of an ordinary person.
Ma Wangcai is a businessman and has met Li Quan only twice in total.
Li Quan would never believe his nonsense if they were not related.
What exactly is the reason why Ma Wangcai takes such good care of him? After thinking about it, there is only one reason: profit.
Businessmen will not do anything without profit.
"Doctor Li is in a hurry to use the money, isn't he? It won't take long to sign the contract, just a few minutes." Ma Wangcai continued to say 'enthusiastically'.
His enthusiasm instead made Li Quan a little wary.
Then you should not agree to it in a hurry.
"Oh, my instructor is urging me. Mr. Ma, I won't talk to you for now. I'll call you after get off work tonight."
After saying that, Li Quan hung up the phone.
It is now twelve forty-two, and there are still about fifty minutes until the afternoon surgical training.
Speak the truth to people and lies to ghosts.
It is true that Li Quan is a rookie in the business world, but he is definitely not a fool.
Faced with the huge temptation of benefits, he was indeed a little hot-headed just now. Now after hanging up the phone, he calmed down and thought carefully, and immediately found that Ma Wangcai was very skillful when talking to him.
First of all, Ma Wangcai never mentioned a word about Li Quan becoming popular on the Internet.
He just said that he admired Li Quan's medical skills.
If they really just admired Li Quan's medical skills, why didn't they ask Li Quan to be the spokesperson a few days ago? Why did they choose to do so when Li Quan just started to become popular?
Ma Wangcai must have smelled something and wanted to take advantage of Li Quan's unawareness and sign him at a very low cost.
As long as the contract is signed, Li Quan has to follow the rules.
Thinking of this, Li Quan's forehead was covered with sweat. Fortunately, he resisted the huge temptation just now and did not rush to agree.
He is a complete rookie when it comes to the charging standards and things to note when doing endorsements.
It’s better to ask a knowledgeable friend.
Li Quan’s circle of friends has always been simple and clean, with just a few people.
After looking around, it seems like there isn't anyone who understands commercial endorsements.
"Hey, ask Secretary Chen!"
Secretary Chen is knowledgeable and has a wide network of contacts. If you ask her, you might get something out of it.
This kind of thing cannot be explained in a few words, so it is more convenient to call directly.
After Li Quan came out of the restaurant, he found a secluded corner and called Secretary Chen.
"Brother, why did you think of calling your sister?" Secretary Chen seemed to be eating, his words were a little unclear, and one could even hear the sound of chewing food.
This also shows that she did not treat Li Quan as an outsider.
Otherwise, it is very impolite to eat while talking on the phone with others.
If it's with familiar friends or close relatives, then it's okay.
It can be heard that Secretary Chen was very happy that Li Quan took the initiative to call.
"Sister Chen, why don't you wait until you finish your meal before I call you back. Chatting while eating is not good for your health." As a doctor, Li Quan naturally understands these health common sense.
The ancients had a rule that one should not talk while eating or sleeping.
"It's okay, it's okay. Just tell me what you want to say! I have to finish a document after dinner." Secretary Chen is a very busy man and only has some time during dinner.
"Okay!" Li Quan no longer insisted. "I have something I want to ask you. Mr. Ma called me just now and said he wants me to be the commercial spokesperson for his pharmaceutical company. The contract period is one year and the remuneration is 100,000 yuan. I'm not sure, so I want to hear your opinion."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for about two seconds.
"Are you talking about Mr. Ma Wangcai?"
"Yes, that's him!"
"Well... there are some things that I can't say. Ma Wangcai is very powerful and has a very good relationship with President Zhao of our Medical Association. Since you called me sister, I will take some risks to remind you. When dealing with President Ma in the future, try to be more careful. In the drug dealer circle, President Ma's methods are the most powerful."
Secretary Chen does take a big risk when he says these things.
Because if Ma Wangcai hears these words, he will have an opinion of Secretary Chen.
She is such a smart woman , with high emotional intelligence and IQ. If she didn't really treat Li Quan as her younger brother, she would never have reminded Li Quan of this.
"Thank you, sis! I'll remember that!"
Li Quan was grateful to her from the bottom of his heart.
"Sister Chen, do you think I should sign this endorsement contract with him? Is a hundred thousand yuan a suitable fee?"
Endorsement just means shooting a few commercials, which is nothing at all in Li Quan’s opinion.
Being able to earn an extra hundred thousand yuan in endorsement fees is like pie in the sky.
As long as there are no traps and no major losses, Li Quan is ready to take on the endorsement.
"Well...if I can sign it, I will. But you need to look at the specific terms of the contract before making a decision. Also, if you are only endorsing one product, a hundred thousand yuan for a newcomer is already a premium. After all, you are just an intern who has just become famous. If you are asked to endorse all products, a hundred thousand yuan is not too much."
"In addition, if there are some additional clauses, you should be more cautious. For example, in order to prevent other manufacturers from asking you to endorse, you may be subject to non-competition restrictions. In short, if you are undecided, take a copy of the contract when signing it and ask a lawyer friend to take a look at it. Then give it to me to check it for you, or spend money to find a friend who knows the business to take a look for you. It's all fine."
Secretary Chen's words are all valuable advice.
It was a great help to Li Quan.
"Okay, I'll make an appointment with Mr. Ma to talk after get off work in the evening, and then I'll bring out a contract. Please help me check it and decide whether to sign it after it's all correct. I'll hang up now. See you in the evening."
Li Quan trusts Secretary Chen very much.
The interactions between people are sometimes so magical.
Some people can never become close no matter what, while others feel like old friends even if it’s just the first time they talk.
"Hey, remember, don't mention me."
Secretary Chen quickly chased after him and shouted.
"Yeah, I understand this."
Li Quan will definitely not betray Secretary Chen.
After hanging up the phone, Li Quan looked at the time he still had and searched the Internet for the rules and taboos of commercial endorsements.
It's always a good idea to learn first.
I will also have some idea about the negotiation with Ma Wangcai in the evening.
