Chapter 1358: The Fastest Negotiation in History
Mercedes-Benz, a German car brand, is considered the most successful premium car brand on Shijie, and its perfect jishu level, excellent quality standards, innovative innovation, and a series of classic coupe styles are commendable. The Mercedes-Benz Trident has become one of the most famous car and brand symbols on the shijie. For many years, the Mercedes-Benz brand has been a pioneer in automotive jishu innovation.
Lin Feng wants to show "Shenlong Automobile", so he naturally wants to learn from "Mercedes-Benz". But Lin Feng never expected that just one day later, the president of "Mercedes-Benz" asked him to meet, and through Marcos Moseley, Lin Feng learned that the "Mercedes-Benz" company seemed to really intend to sell its car production line to himself.
What's going on, this, what's going on? -- Lin Feng really didn't expect that the "Mercedes-Benz" company would really agree to sell him their state-of-the-art production line. You must know that Lin Feng proposed to buy the most advanced production line of "Mercedes-Benz", which is to give the other party room for bargaining, and the ultimate goal is to be able to buy a production line that is more advanced than the current "Shenlong Automobile". But I didn't expect that the "Mercedes-Benz" company would actually be able to really agree to its purchase request.
This made Lin Feng a little blind. But at least this is good news, as for what the "Mercedes-Benz" company has planned, it will only be known when we meet.
Soon, Lin Feng flew directly to Germany with Marcos Moseley, where he met Jürgen Hubert, the current president of Mercedes-Benz, at the headquarters of the "Mercedes-Benz" company in Stuttgart, Germany.
"Mr. Lin, welcome, welcome!" President Jürgen-Hubert greeted Lin Feng warmly.
"Mr. Hupotter, it's a good thing, it's a good thing!"
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the Germans, who had always been simple and effective, immediately got to the point.
"Mr. Lin, I heard that you want to buy one of our company's most advanced automobile production lines, right?" asked Jürgen-Hubert.
Lin Feng was not surprised by Jürgen-Hubert's straightforwardness. The Germans are known worldwide for their rigor and efficiency, and it's only natural that they are so direct. And Lin Feng personally likes to deal with direct people the most.
"Yes, Mr. Hubert, it is true that I want to buy your company's state-of-the-art automobile production line, but I don't know if your company is willing to sell it!" Lin Feng stared at Jürgen-Hubert intently.
"Hehe, Mr. Lin, if our company is not willing to sell, we will not ask Mr. Lin for an interview. Jürgen-Hubert took out a contract, "This is a contract for the free transfer of a car production line by our company." Jürgen-Hubert said with a smile.
Free?--Lin Feng frowned.
This shijie, if anything is stained with the word free, it means that there is absolutely no good thing. You know, there is no lunch in the world that doesn't cost money, and no one in this shijie is so kind that they will give you things for nothing, except for your parents!
Lin Feng frowned and opened the contract, glanced at it a few times, and immediately threw the contract to Jürgen Hubert.
"Mr. Hubert, I will never agree to this. I'm not alone in Shenlong Automobile, and I think you know that better than I do. Lin Feng said coldly.
This contract is indeed a free transfer of the automobile production line of the "Mercedes-Benz" company, but it requires the "Shenlong Automobile" to exchange shares. And this, that is what Lin Feng will never agree. Even if Lin Feng agrees, the state will not agree. From the very beginning, the state clearly told Lin Feng that all the shares of "DPCA Automobile" can only be held by Chinese and can never be controlled by foreigners, whether it is now or in the future.
Therefore, Lin Feng naturally wanted to refuse this condition. What's more, an automobile production line, even if it is the most advanced automobile production line of "Mercedes-Benz Company", is at most about 2-300 million US dollars, and the shares of "Shenlong Automobile" are definitely more than this price.
Jürgen-Hubert looked at Lin Feng carefully, and sighed helplessly after a long time. From the resoluteness in Lin Feng's eyes, he saw that it was impossible to achieve the Jihua of this production line for shares.
After receiving a phone call from his friend Marcos Moseley yesterday saying that Lin Feng was interested in buying the advanced automobile production line of the "Mercedes-Benz Company", he immediately convened an emergency meeting to discuss the matter.
After the discussion of many shareholders of the "Mercedes-Benz Company", it is believed that it is not impossible to sell a production line to "DPCA Automobile". After all, Lin Feng's current production focus is energy-saving and environmentally friendly cars, and "Mercedes-Benz" is currently a high-end car, before the "Mercedes-Benz company" has produced this entry-level low-end car, but with the continuous increase in consumer demand for cars, resulting in "Mercedes-Benz car" has modified this low-end car production line, but the company has given up the production of this extremely low-end entry-level car jihua.
After all, the word "Mercedes-Benz" represents excellent performance quality in the world, and the production of such an extremely low-end, cheap entry-level sedan will ruin the reputation of "Mercedes-Benz". And now Lin Feng wants this production line, although it is a little different from energy-saving and environmentally friendly cars, but it only needs to be slightly modified. In this way, not only can the losses of the previous "Mercedes-Benz company" be recovered, but also can even take the opportunity to make a profit.
What's more, at present, "Shenlong Automobile" and Japanese car manufacturers are betting on sales, and Japan's ambitions are well known to passers-by. "Mercedes-Benz" has also been looking at Jihua to see how to snipe at the ambition of Japanese automakers to dominate China. Lin Feng is now automatically sent to the door, but it is in the heart of "Mercedes-Benz". Therefore, the "Mercedes-Benz Company" will immediately make an appointment with Lin Feng.
And the Jihua of this production line for shares is the first plan. If it can be exchanged for the best, after all, the future of "Shenlong Automobile", especially once it can win the bet with Japanese car manufacturers this time, then its future will be quite brilliant, and then "Mercedes-Benz Automobile" will be able to bring billions, or even tens of billions of dollars in income by virtue of the 15% shares exchanged for a production line.
But now Lin Feng refused, although Ürgen-Hubert was a little regretful, but there was also plan B.
"Mr. Lin, there is still a contract here, please take a look at it. Jürgen-Hubert smiled and handed over a contract again.
Lin Feng took a look and nodded. This time, the conditions are much more reasonable.
"Mr. Hubert, the deal, then it's settled! Happy cooperation!" Lin Feng stood up and stretched out his hand.
"Happy cooperation!" Jürgen-Hubert smiled and shook Lin Feng's hand.
Marcos Moseley on the side was dumbfounded. Is this negotiation too fast! Is it so fast, look at the watch, it was only a little more than 1o minutes before and after, and a contract of hundreds of millions of dollars was reached?
You're all talented!—Marcos Mosley admired.
