Chapter 1487: Prince of India
For the next week, Hans was in serious negotiations with Ott Martin, and of course Daqian could not accept the expensive value of $6 billion, and the two sides engaged in-for-tat debates around almost all the details.
So a week later, the price was reduced to the bottom line of $5 billion given by Bired.
At this point, Hans couldn't cut the price anymore anyway, but Daqian also made it very clear that they were only willing to pay $4 billion at most, not a penny more!
This made Hans very uncomfortable, and he racked his brains every day to figure out how to negotiate on the second day, and how to get the other party to accept the price of 5 billion American Academy.
As a result, just when Hans was at a loss, Bi Ruide suddenly called Hans over, and then scolded him bitterly, "Look at you idiot, you have been tricked by those Chinese people!" β
"What?" Hans was taken aback, and after being scolded by Bi Ruide, he learned that it was Bi Ruide who received the news that France's logo car negotiated the sale of Citroen, and this company was actually a company from China, led by Wang Chuanfu, the president of BYD!
When he got the news, he was of course extremely angry, and he called Hans over and scolded him.
After being scolded by Breed, the angry Hans naturally immediately approached Ott Martin to ask what the situation was?
What I didn't expect was that Ott Martin smiled with a natural expression, "Mr. Hans, even children know that shopping for things has to shop around, of course we have to take a look around, contact with different car companies, and be able to buy satisfactory goods!" β
"Mr. Hans, it is very normal for our company to contact multiple car companies at the same time, there is nothing wrong with it, what do you have to be angry about!"
"You're lying to me, you said that your President Wang has returned to China!" Hans said angrily
"That's right, our President Wang did return to China, but he flew to France again on the second day, and I didn't lie to you!" Ott Martin was fart, and Hans knew it, but he could only accept the explanation.
"Mr. Hans, let's be honest, our negotiations with CitroΓ«n have gone very well, and we have also reached the point of finalizing the price. But we BYD can only buy one company, so on both sides, whoever reaches an agreement first, who signs first, then the negotiations on the other side will naturally end, I say so, you understand! β
"You're blackmailing me!" Hans said angrily.
"No, it's just a little bit of business skills, we just want to get the best quality goods at the right price!" Ott Martin's words made Hans want to hit someone, but Hans also understood that what Ott Martin said was not wrong, this is also a common trick in business negotiations, and his anger has no other way than to lose the procurement case.
However, on the other hand, Hans is more convinced that the other party wants to buy, otherwise he will not make this kind of two-end bet and two-end negotiation, the other party is bound to win a car company, the difference is only which one to buy.
"$5 billion, sign it now!" Hans said helplessly, "In addition, I can give you some more engineers, and there is a production line, how about this production line can be used to produce Land Rover's SUV off-road vehicles?" β
"Thank you very much for the concession, but it doesn't mean anything to us!" Ott Martin shook his head and said very simply, "The mainstream market in China is the sedan market, and SUV off-road vehicles cannot be sold in the Huaxia market, and we have no plans to produce SUVs at all." β
"Actually, instead of you adding a Land Rover production line, sell us $5 billion. Why don't you remove the Land Rover name and all related products from the list and sell us another $4 billion! Ott Martin laughed.
"How can this be, this is all in the name of Rover Motors, and it is to be packaged and sold together!" Hans subconsciously refused, and Ott Martin shook his shoulders and didn't say anything more.
However, after returning home, the more Hans thought about it, the more he felt that Ott Martin's words might be the key to breaking the game.
If you remove Land Rover and sell it for $4 billion, it will still make some money than selling it all for $5 billion. But the question is, leaving Land Rover alone, where to find the $1 billion saved?
"Unless...... Someone would like to buy a Land Rover alone! Hans muttered. But just think about it, it's too difficult to find a manufacturer to buy Land Rover separately for the time being.
ββββββββββ
However, Hans did not give up on this idea, so the next day, while he asked people to continue negotiations with Ott Martin, he began to ask people which other companies in the international market were planning to buy a car company.
As a result, Hans really made a discovery, someone told Hans that now there is an Indian company that is in contact with GM and wants to buy the Chevrolet brand, but the price is too low, only $1.5 billion, and GM ignores them!
"$1.5 billion!" Hans's eyes lit up, if he could sell Land Rover to this Indian at a price of 15 US dollars, and then sell the rest to Daqian Group for a price of 4 billion US dollars, wouldn't the entire Rover car also be sold, and it could be sold at a price of 5.5 billion US dollars, which is 500 million more than the bottom limit of Biruide, and he has made a great contribution!
So Hans immediately asked his friend to contact the representative of the Indian company, but they were reluctant to come at first, and it was Hans's repeated invitations that the Indian finally flew to Germany to meet Hans.
As soon as they met, Hans was blinded by the Indian.
Because this Indian seemed to be eager to wear all the gold on his body, and all the ornaments made of gold all over his body, and all kinds of diamonds on his clothes, he almost wrote on his face that I was rich.
At the same time, this Indian eats and stays the best, lives in the best hotel in Munich, and rents 3 floors in one go.
In addition to himself, there were also drivers, cooks, personal maids, etc., more than 30 people, according to the people sent by Hans to pick up the plane, they directly chartered a special plane to come, and the special plane arrived with a gold Rolls-Royce, which is simply a local tyrant to the extreme.
The attitude in this world can surpass this Indian, and it is estimated that only those princes in the Middle East are there.
And according to the Indian's own account, he is really a prince, a prince of Haryana in India, and his ancestor is a holy king!
And the reason why he wanted to buy a car company was because he found that there was no company in his home country that could produce high-end brand cars independently, which made him feel very ashamed, so he was determined to establish India's first modern high-end self-brand car manufacturing plant, and it seemed that he was still a very patriotic person.
