Chapter 1,358 The Fastest Negotiation in History
Mercedes-Benz, a German car brand, is considered to be one of the most successful high-end car brands in the world. Its perfect technical level, excellent quality standards, innovative ability to introduce new things, and a series of classic coupe styles are commendable. Mercedes-Benz Three-pointed Star
It has become one of the most famous automobiles and brand symbols in the world. For more than 100 years, the Mercedes-Benz brand has been a pioneer in automotive technological innovation.
If Lin Feng wanted to develop Shenlong Motors, he would naturally learn from Mercedes-Benz. But Lin Feng never expected that just one day later, the president of Mercedes-Benz would meet with him, and through Marcos Mosley, Lin Feng
Feng learned that Mercedes-Benz really seemed to be interested in selling its car production lines to itself.
This, this, what's going on? - Lin Feng really didn't expect that the "Mercedes-Benz" company would really agree to sell him their most advanced production line. You know, Lin Feng proposed that he wanted to buy "Mercedes-Benz".
An advanced production line is to give the other party room for bargaining. The ultimate goal is to purchase a production line that is more advanced than the current "Shenlong Automobile". But I didn't expect that the "Mercedes-Benz" company might actually agree to it.
Purchase requirements.
This makes Lin Feng a little confused. But at least this is good news. As for what the Mercedes-Benz company has planned, we can only know it in person.
Soon, Lin Feng and Marcos Mosley flew directly to Germany and met the current president of Mercedes-Benz, Jürgen Hubert, at the headquarters of Mercedes-Benz in Stuttgart, Germany.
"Mr. Lin, welcome, welcome!" President Jürgen Hubert greeted Lin Feng warmly.
"Mr. Hubert, nice to meet you, nice to meet you!"
After a brief exchange of greetings between the two, the German, who always works concisely and effectively, immediately got down to business.
"Mr. Lin, I heard that you want to buy one of our company's most advanced automobile production lines, right?" Jürgen Hubert asked.
Lin Feng was not surprised by Jürgen Hubert's straight-to-the-point approach. Germans are famous for their rigor and efficiency around the world, so it is normal for them to be so direct. Personally, Lin Feng likes and directs the most.
People are in contact.
"Yes, Mr. Hubert, indeed I want to buy your company's most advanced automobile production line, but I don't know if your company is willing to sell it!" Lin Feng stared at Jürgen Hubert intently.
"Haha, 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 about our company's free transfer of automobile production lines.
." Jürgen Hubert said with a smile.
Free?——Lin Feng frowned.
In this world, anything with the word free means nothing good. You know, there is no free lunch in the world, and no one in this world is so kind as to give you something for free, except for your parents!
Lin Feng frowned and opened the contract, glanced at it for a few moments, and immediately threw the contract to Jürgen Hubert.
"Mr. Hubote, I will never agree to this. 'Shenlong Automobile' does not belong to me alone. I think you should know this better than me." Lin Feng said coldly.
This contract is indeed to transfer the automobile production line of "Mercedes-Benz" for free, but it requires "Dragon Motors" to exchange shares. This is something that Lin Feng will never agree to. Even if Lin Feng agrees, the country will not agree.
"Dragon Automobile" originally carries the hope of China's automobile manufacturing industry. From the beginning, the state has clearly told Lin Feng that all shares of "Dragon Automobile", whether now or in the future, can only be owned by China.
It must be controlled by people and must not be controlled by foreigners.
Therefore, Lin Feng naturally wanted to reject this condition. What's more, a car production line, even the most advanced car production line of "Mercedes-Benz Company", would only cost about 200-300 million US dollars at most, and the shares of "Shenlong Automobile" would definitely
More than this price.
Jurgen Hubert looked at Lin Feng carefully and sighed helplessly after a long time. From the determination in Lin Feng's eyes, he saw that the plan to exchange the production line for shares was impossible to achieve.
After receiving a call from his friend Marcos Mosley yesterday, saying that Lin Feng was interested in purchasing the advanced automobile production line of "Mercedes-Benz Company", he immediately held an emergency meeting to discuss the matter.
After discussions among many shareholders of "Mercedes-Benz Company", it is believed that it is not a bad idea to sell a production line to "Dragon Motors". After all, Lin Feng's current production focus is on energy-saving and environmentally friendly cars, while "Mercedes-Benz" currently produces mid-to-high-end cars.
"Mercedes-Benz" had planned to produce this entry-level low-end sedan before. However, as consumers' demand for cars continued to increase, "Mercedes-Benz" had modified this low-end sedan production line, but the company gave up.
Plans to produce this extremely low-end entry-level car.
After all, the word "Mercedes-Benz" represents high performance and quality globally. Producing such an extremely low-end, cheap entry-level car will ruin the reputation of "Mercedes-Benz". And now Lin Feng wants this
Although the production line is a little different from the energy-saving and environmentally friendly cars, it only needs to be slightly modified. In this way, not only can the previous losses of "Mercedes-Benz" be recovered, but it can even take the opportunity to make a fortune.
What's more, "Dragon Motors" is currently betting on sales with Japanese car manufacturers, and Japan's ambitions are well known to everyone. "Mercedes-Benz" has also been planning to see how to attack the Japanese car manufacturers' ambition to dominate China. Lin Feng is now automatically
It was delivered to my door, but that was what "Benz" wanted. Therefore, "Benz Company" immediately made an appointment with Lin Feng.
The plan to exchange the production line for shares is the first option. If it can be exchanged for the best, after all, the future of "Dragon Motors", especially if it can win the bet with Japanese car manufacturers this time, its future will be quite brilliant.
At that time, "Mercedes-Benz" will be able to bring in profits of billions or even tens of billions of dollars with the 15% stake exchanged for this production line.
But now Lin Feng has refused. Although Jürgen Hubert is a little regretful, there is still plan B.
"Mr. Lin, there is another contract here. Please take a look at it." Jürgen Hubert handed over another contract with a smile.
Lin Feng took it, looked at it, and nodded. This time the conditions were much more reasonable.
"Mr. Hubert, it's a deal, it's settled! Happy cooperation!" Lin Feng stood up and extended his hand.
"Happy cooperation!" Jurgen Hubert smiled and held Lin Feng's hand.
Marcos Mosley on the side was stunned. This negotiation was too fast! Is it so fast? Look at the watch, it only took more than 10 minutes to reach a contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars?
Chapter completed!
