Chapter 133: The Completion of the Trip to Europe

Finally, this time came, and through Jiang Chen's attention in the past few days, he found that Carl was really in a hurry. From the original arrogance and prejudice, to the current active contact, he even invited Jiang Chen to Carl's own home as a guest. Judging by these performances, Carl is under a lot of pressure. Jiang Chen can also understand this situation, after all, in such a large company, there is a lot of internal competition pressure, and there are many middle-level personnel in this position like Carl, if he wants to be promoted, he must work harder and not make mistakes. Another point is that there are a lot of people from below and outside who are spying on his position, so he must get this trouble at hand as soon as possible to ensure that he gets out of this situation.

Speaking of which, let's talk about Jiang Chen's visit to Carl's house by the way. Just like all Western families, after Carl had a stable and high income, his wife became a stay-at-home wife. From this point of view, it is not only the East that loves face and has machismo, but now it seems that the West is also the same. When men in the West have a certain status, their wives have to give up their jobs to fully support their husbands, and this support is to take care of their husbands and their children at home. Karl's wife was also a typical Germanic, very beautiful and young, probably about six or seven years apart from Karl, with two children, and the family lived in an upscale villa about half an hour's drive from the city. The environment is very good, which makes Jiang Chen, who is used to seeing the market, a little envious, to know how difficult it is for him to buy a house in the next life.

The conversation with Carl was pleasant, and there was no telling that he was the aggressive one at the negotiating table. In his private life, he is more like a gentle person, whether it is to his wife, children, or neighbors, or even Jiang Chen, who is still a rival. This made Jiang Chen have some illusions, this was not communicating with his negotiation opponent, but chatting and laughing like an old friend who had known each other for many years. Jiang Chen told Carl about this doubt in his heart, and Carl replied with a smile: There is no personal interest dispute between him and Jiang Chen, and the-for-tat between them is for the sake of both companies. And since he took the salary paid to him by his own company, he must be worthy of this salary and do his best to seek the greatest benefit for his company. Although this concept may be different from our Oriental concept of human feelings. But Jiang Chen still admired it very much, and he was very honored to have such an opponent.

Sure enough, the negotiations between the two sides went smoothly and began to enter a more concrete negotiation. Jiang Chen didn't make too many excessive demands because of these relationships. After all, this company may continue to cooperate in the future, and it is not conducive to long-term cooperation in the future if it goes too far. Another point is that after Jiang Chen's trouble, more people have paid attention to this matter. In the words that the embassy told them, it was important to always think about their own national image, because they are no longer acting as individuals, they may now represent a country. There may be a little inattention. It will hurt the reputation of the country. Jiang Chen smiled bitterly when he heard this, sure enough, this is a double-edged sword, and if he hurts others, he also hurts himself.

But fortunately, both sides are going to cooperate sincerely, so the talks went very smoothly. Carl, they are no longer asking for prices, and Jiang Chen and they will not deliberately lower the price too much. Of course, this is not to say that the two sides are indisputable, but to control this price within a reasonable range. There has also been substantial progress in this cooperation, i.e. Carl does not insist on the installation and commissioning of the equipment after it has been sold, as well as its after-sales warranty. Now the consensus reached by the two sides is that Karl is responsible for helping Jiang Chen and them install and debug the equipment for free, but these technicians who are going to help them, Jiang Chen will reimburse the travel expenses and arrange the accommodation work.

And then the after-sales maintenance work has also changed. That is to set a three-year period. Within this period, Karl has the responsibility and obligation to help them repair the equipment, and the conditions required are the same as above. If this period is exceeded, then there will be no maintenance work, Jiang Chen will pay a certain fee to pay for the salary of the technician and the technical support fee of Carl and their company.

As for the use of this technology, the two parties also explained in detail, that is, Jiang Chen has the right to use these technologies, and has the right to use these technologies in other projects under the name of a company. Moreover, these technologies are exclusive in China, and other companies must obtain Jiang Chen's consent before they can be transferred and authorized to purchase and use these technologies. These technologies are owned by Carl and their company, and Jiang Chen and they have only obtained the exclusive right to use them in China. The two parties jointly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of these technologies, protect the security of these technologies and strictly prevent leakage.

After several days of uninterrupted talks and consultations, the two sides finally reached a consensus on cooperation. And with the assistance of a lawyer, the contract was drafted. Jiang Chen will buy a complete set of motorcycle production equipment, including an engine production line, six body parts production lines, a wheel production line and three final assembly lines. The engine production line includes a five-ton fuel crucible furnace and a three-ton electroslag remelting furnace, as well as two precision parts processing lines.

The total price of these final agreements is 5.2 million US dollars. These equipment will start to be shipped after Jiang Chen and they prepaid 3 million. After helping Jiang Chen and them complete the installation and commissioning work, after the factory is put into normal production, Jiang Chen will pay another 1 million US dollars. The final $1.2 million will be paid one year after the plant is operational. In this way, Jiang Chen, who was short of funds, also had some respite, so that they had time to raise the underfunded part. The reason why the price is so high is because Jiang Chen has added some more equipment and machines. Since you want to do it, then do it well, Jiang Chen also gritted his teeth to make this decision. And the reason why Carl and they will loosen up and agree to Jiang Chen that they pay in installments, and the cycle is so long. I also saw that Jiang Chen had added so many things at once, and basically wrapped up all the equipment they dismantled, which also saved them some trouble, so they agreed.

Finally, after the embassy reviewed the entire cooperation process and the contract and reported it to China for approval, Jiang Chen officially signed a contract with the senior representatives of Carl and his company, namely BMW, under the witness of the embassy and German government officials, as well as the senior management of Carl and his company, as well as other social and media organizations. This means that this important cooperation has officially taken effect, and it also indicates that Jiang Chen's plan has been successfully carried out in a big step. (To be continued.) )
