(PS: sorry, I fell asleep at night and forgot to update)
It was a great shock to learn that Jia Yapeng, chairman of Daqian group, personally led the team. Mercedes Benz almost raised the reception standard at the first time. Dieter Zetsche, the current CEO of Mercedes Benz, personally greeted him at the airport, and then accompanied him to the hotel. In the afternoon, a grand welcome banquet was held to welcome boss Jia.
In terms of etiquette, the whole reception process was impeccable, and Mercedes Benz's attitude was excellent. However, boss Jia seemed to feel that Mr. Dieter Zetsche had a sense of alienation from himself.
Soon, this feeling was verified. In the middle of the banquet, an intelligence was transmitted, which was the internal intelligence of Mercedes Benz group obtained by Daqian through some special means.
At present, Mercedes Benz is divided into two factions. One faction supports the introduction of electric vehicles from Daqian. This faction is led by Kang LinSong, vice president of Mercedes Benz and President of the United States.
The other is against Daqian, led by the current Mercedes Benz CEO Dieter Zetsche! "
In other words, this Dieter Zetsche is opposed to the electric vehicle from Daqian. No wonder the other party's etiquette is very considerate, but a faint feeling of refusing people thousands of miles away can be clearly felt.
It is estimated that if boss Jia, the world's second richest man, had not come himself, Dieter Zetsche could not have made such a grand event.
Soon, this information was proved. After the banquet, under the guidance of Wang Chuanfu, Kang LinSong, the vice president of Mercedes Benz who supported the introduction of electric vehicles, came to the room to talk with boss Jia in person.
"We must succeed in this cooperation!" Kang LinSong clearly expressed his attitude as soon as he came forward.
"In fact, I'm surprised that Mr. Kang LinSong is so optimistic about our Daqian?" boss Jia asked with a smile. "I remember that the relationship between our Daqian and Mercedes Benz has not been so good!"
"Because of the needs of the market, the board of directors, and I also need it!" Dieter Zetsche said very simply, especially the last sentence accentuated the tone.
"Mr. Jia, you are the richest man in the world..."
"No, you're mistaken. I'm the second richest man in the world. Fortune magazine has counted it for me!" boss Jia quickly denied.
"No, that's the trick of the Americans. They just want to be shameless. We all know that you are the real richest man in the world!" Kang LinSong smiled.
"Well, you say what you say, I listen to me, let's continue." boss Jia smiled.
"Well, now the European market has a high voice for electric vehicles. The board of directors urgently hopes to launch an electric vehicle immediately. This is the foundation!"
"But on the other hand, Dieter Zetsche doesn't want this. He is a traditional stubborn. He has always adhered to the pattern of fuel vehicles and is very exclusive of electric vehicles. But this time, because the board of directors tends to introduce electric vehicles immediately, he has to give in!"
"Dieter Zetsche is old, his mind can't keep up with this era, Mercedes Benz needs younger and more visionary leaders!" the handsome Kang LinSong licked his lips "Mr. Jia, this is an opportunity for both of us. As long as we work together, you can sell Daqian electric vehicles to Europe through us, and I can become the new CEO of Mercedes Benz. We can establish a more stable alliance and occupy this new market together!"
"Of course, selling electric cars to Europe is what we are doing, otherwise I won't come all the way in person!" boss Jia smiled. "But if you just say that, it seems that Mr. Kang LinSong doesn't have to come in person!"
"Of course, so I hope to reach a tacit understanding with Mr. Jia in advance!" Kang LinSong said impatiently. "I can directly reveal to you the bottom card of this negotiation, that is, our board of directors hopes to change the sales strategy slightly in order to sell your electric vehicles in Europe as soon as possible."
"Because people in Europe don't recognize Daqian brand very much, I'm afraid selling Daqian brand electric vehicles alone won't have a good effect. On the contrary, if we directly import raw materials from your company, then directly assemble them in Mercedes Benz's plant, and then hang our Mercedes Benz brand, we can get through the whole European market. After all, Mercedes Benz products The influence of the card in Europe is obvious to all. "
"This is the bottom card of our board of directors. As long as Mr. Jia can agree to this request, even if the price is a little higher, we can accept it, and we can sign the contract immediately and take him by surprise."
"I assure you that our cooperation can be implemented in no more than three days. In the future, your company will continue to provide us with auto parts, and we will sell all over the world. We can reach a close strategic cooperation alliance. As long as I am still in the position of chairman, our alliance will be unbreakable!" Kang LinSong said excitedly.
"I see what you mean!" boss Jia nodded, and then asked, "do you have any questions?"
"There's another small problem!" Kang LinSong smiled "This model may cause some technical problems. After all, it is impossible for our Mercedes Benz cars not to use our own technology, so we hope to form a technical alliance with Daqian. We Mercedes Benz will take out our electric vehicle technology, and your company will also take out all your electric vehicle technology. We will build a technology pool together Share our technology! "
"Mr. Jia, this is a rare opportunity. Our Mercedes Benz rarely shares our core technology with other enterprises, and it has no loss to you. After all, we all need to purchase raw materials from your company, just to avoid technical criticism!"
"OK, I know. I need to think about it. We'll reply to you tomorrow!" boss Jia nodded. Kang LinSong left with expectation and eyes, leaving Wang Chuanfu and boss Jia in the room.

"Chairman, I'm back!" half an hour later, in Mercedes Benz's office, Kang LinSong, who had just seen through the company's history in front of boss Jia, sat with his opponent Dieter Zetsche.
"Did Jia Yapeng see you?" asked Dieter Zetsche.
"See you" Kang LinSong nodded.
"Do you think he believed us?" Dieter Zetsche asked again.
"He has no reason to doubt me, because I really want to sit in the chair under your ass!" Kang LinSong laughed.
