Chapter 1817

"Ten years ago, major foreign automobile enterprises entered the Chinese market one after another. Do you know how they entered the Chinese market?" boss Jia asked with a smile.

"Joint venture?" replied Dieter Zetsche. Dieter Zetsche knows very well about entering the Chinese market, because Mercedes Benz was already planning to enter the Chinese market in 2000.

If everything is normal, this year, Mercedes Benz will reach a cooperation with Huaxia DIDU jeep, establish a joint venture, and then start DIDU Benz's life in China.

However, due to the electric vehicle movement carried out in China, Chinese car enterprises have no interest in joint venture with foreign car enterprises. After all, even the most powerful foreign car enterprises have fuel vehicle technology, which simply does not meet the current domestic market demand. There is no interest in joint venture, so they naturally lose their interest in joint venture.

As a result, Mercedes Benz could not find any partners in China. The original joint venture plan was completely ruined, so Mercedes Benz completely gave up entering the Chinese market.

In fact, Mercedes Benz is fairly good, because it has never entered the Chinese market and has not benefited from the Chinese market. Mercedes Benz can retract and release freely.

On the contrary, enterprises like Volkswagen and Audi are very uncomfortable. They entered the Chinese market more than ten years ago and enjoyed profits for several years.

For example, the profits of Huaxia market are now the second largest market profit source of Volkswagen Group.

As a result, all domestic fuel vehicles can't be sold. The annual reports of Audi and Volkswagen are bleak, and the stock price has also fallen sharply. It's terrible!

Dieter Zetsche has read jokes for quite a while, but he doesn't understand what boss Jia means!

"Ten years ago, you relied on joint ventures to enter the Chinese market and teach us Chinese man-made cars!" boss Jia smiled. "Now, we have entered the European market and set up joint ventures with you. Our technology and production are ours. Is this the beginning of our Chinese people to teach you European man-made cars?"

"Of course, I am very happy to promote this cooperation!"

"..." Dieter Zetsche opened his mouth. He knew that boss Jia was telling the truth, because he could feel the strong feelings of family and country in boss Jia's heart. He believed this answer.

As for Dieter Zetsche himself, he thought at this time, has Europe reached the era of building cars with Chinese technology and products?

This made Dieter Zetsche feel a little trance and even a sense of shame.

"Well, it has nothing to do with me. I just need to make Mercedes Benz get the most benefit!" Dieter Zetsche quickly let himself get rid of that bad mood. For people like him, home and country are actually just some bad emotions, which are not important.

As long as it's profitable, that's all!

These are the perfect petty bourgeoisie, exquisite egoists.

"Thank you for your sincere answer. This negotiation is also the strangest experience in my life. I hope we have another chance to cooperate!" Dieter Zetsche said with a smile.

"Of course!" boss Jia smiled. "In fact, we don't have to wait for the next time. We can start new negotiations right away!"

"Ah... Huh?" Dieter Zetsche was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand what boss Jia meant.

"Mr. Cai Che, haven't you considered changing the power station?" boss Jia asked with a smile.

——————————

The next day, Dieter Zetsche reluctantly continued to appear at the negotiating table. Almost all the previous negotiating members sat in their original positions with a helpless face.

There was almost no change in personnel between the two sides. They began to negotiate directly in accordance with the old rules.

There are two issues in this negotiation, one is the battery and the other is the replacement of the power station.

To be honest, boss Jia himself was very surprised at the second negotiation, because he thought these two issues would be completed in the first negotiation. As a result, Mercedes Benz didn't talk to himself about these two issues in the whole process and decided to sign the contract directly.

Boss Jia didn't point it out either. He pretended to be confused and signed the contract.

As a result, boss Jia left the problem to all of you that night.

Then the people at Mercedes Benz were also very confused. What, did the parts in the contract signed before not include the battery from beginning to end?

Also, what's the matter with changing the power station? Doesn't it all depend on charging?

It can be seen that Mercedes Benz despised China's electric vehicle industry from beginning to end, but now there is an electric vehicle boom in Europe. Mercedes Benz wants to rub a wave of heat. As a result, it did not conduct a detailed investigation on China's electric vehicle industry at all, so it directly began to negotiate with Daqian.

Of course, another reason is that the thousands came too fast. Mercedes Benz thought the whole negotiation would be delayed for about a month. They had enough time to investigate the situation while talking, and the result was embarrassing.

Let's start with the battery. Mercedes Benz takes it for granted that the car contains batteries, especially in the list given by the Chinese people, there is the word battery, so they think it is a battery.

But in fact, this is the secondary battery of the electric vehicle, which is specially used to supply power to the vehicle's electronic control system. This battery can't be disassembled. On weekdays, it can rely on the main battery for power supply and charging, so the secondary battery is included in the list, but the main battery doesn't.

Mercedes Benz didn't find this problem and was stunned.

So when Daqian told them after signing the contract that Daqian's electric car did not contain batteries, Mercedes Benz was stupid up and down, and then hurried to start the second negotiation predicted by boss Jia.

"What kind of battery is too expensive? It's almost equivalent to the price of the whole vehicle. How can it be so expensive! You make it clear that you want to pit us!" the people watching Mercedes Benz immediately asked after seeing the battery quotation.

Mercedes Benz people even suspect that this is the trap arranged by Daqian in advance, trying to earn their lost profits from the battery.

"Our price is the most favorable, because Zhou Wen needs a large number of main battery packs to supply power if he wants to achieve a range of at least 400 kilometers."

"The lead-acid battery quotation we provide is already the most favorable lead-acid battery quotation in the world. If you don't believe it, you can ask battery manufacturers in various countries around the world to see which one gives a lower price than ours!" Wang Chuanfu said with great confidence. Because of the same phone call, several waves of customers have called.
