Chapter 361 First Negotiation
After hanging up Mueller's phone call, Zhou Fei first went to Autohome to find out the latest report on this matter. After finding out that there was no new information, he was just about to take a break for a meeting. Ma Huafu, who was far away in Ninghang City, It's a phone call.

"Mr. Zhou, what do you think about the acquisition of Mercedes-Benz that is circulating on the Internet? Is it really going to be acquired?" Ma Huafu's familiar voice came from the moment the call was connected.

Zhou Fei was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect Ma Huafu to call because of this matter.

"What does Ma always think, I want to hear your opinion first." Zhou Fei quickly recovered and asked with a smile.

According to Ma Huafu, does he want to buy Mercedes-Benz?

"Of course it's best to buy it. Is there a need to think about it?" Ma Huafu replied immediately.

"How to say?"

"If we can acquire the Mercedes-Benz brand, it will complement our BMW and Audi, and will compete with us on both sides in the European and American markets. Even if BMW is not sold in the European and American markets, we will be able to dominate the current market with Mercedes-Benz. The international luxury car market is here, isn't this a worthwhile project for Mercedes-Benz Company?"

Ma Huafu quickly explained.

"That's what you say, but Mercedes-Benz cars may not be willing to sell them. What's more, it is said on the Internet that ours is a cross-border merger and acquisition, and the German government may not agree!" Zhou Fei could only pretend to be stupid.

I can't tell Ma Huafu right now that Mercedes-Benz was originally founded by me, and there is no such thing as acquisition or not. I guess Zhou Fei said that, Ma Huafu probably thought he was joking.

"That's what I said, but if we don't try it, how can we know it won't work? As long as Dafeng Motor can acquire it, then our Mercedes-Benz company will definitely be able to!" Ma Huafu continued.

"I will re-evaluate this matter, and our company is also very tight in terms of funds. The final purchase price of Mercedes-Benz will definitely not be low. If it is purchased rashly, it will plunge our company into financial crisis. I can understand Mr. Ma's attitude." Meaning, but we also have to consider the specific situation of the company, right?"

Zhou Fei smiled and continued to answer.

"I'm sorry Mr. Zhou, I took it for granted." Ma Huafu was also aware of the issue of acquisition funds, but then suggested,

"Even if you can't acquire Mercedes-Benz in the end, you can try to cooperate with Mercedes-Benz and introduce two Mercedes-Benz cars into China. If Mercedes-Benz does not want to be acquired by Dafeng Motor, they must have a strong partner. Our Mercedes-Benz company, absolutely It's the perfect choice!"

To be honest, Ma Huafu's proposal is more practical, not only for Mercedes-Benz, but also for other companies besides Dafeng Motor.

"I see. I will seriously consider it again. If there is any progress, I will contact you again." Zhou Fei nodded.

Now that Zhou Fei said that, Ma Huafu didn't say anything more, and after chatting for a few more words, they hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Fei thought about it seriously, and felt that Ma Huafu's last proposal was really good. He could indeed consider introducing the Mercedes-Benz brand to China. But for the time being, Zhou Fei still wanted to see the progress of Dafeng Motor's acquisition. Then make a decision.

What if Dafeng Motor made an offer he couldn't refuse?

***
On the second day after Fred admitted that Dafeng Motor wanted to acquire Mercedes-Benz, Jonathan finally prepared the relevant materials and was able to make formal contact with Mercedes-Benz.

The acquisition documents of Dafeng Motor have been sent to Muller, and the two parties have already agreed on the time and place of the first negotiation: the first negotiation will be held at the meeting room of Mercedes-Benz at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

According to Zhou Fei's instructions, Mueller has also made full preparations. Anyway, the first negotiation is just to test each other's bottom line and will not reach a final agreement. Therefore, whether it is Jonathan or Mueller, The mentality is very relaxed.

The news that Dafeng and Mercedes-Benz have confirmed the time for the first negotiation also spread like wildfire, arousing the attention of many people. Many reporters have made full preparations and plan to grasp the first-hand information on the day of the negotiation .

The next day, under the eyes of everyone, the first negotiation for Dafeng Motor to acquire Mercedes-Benz began officially.

Early in the morning, Jonathan made preparations, and then at 08:30, he drove to the industrial park, ready to go to the Mercedes-Benz factory for negotiations, but as soon as he got out of the car, Jonathan was immediately surrounded by a group of reporters .

"Mr. Jonathan, may I ask if you have the confidence to win this acquisition?"

"There are rumors on the Internet that Dafeng Motor is not suitable for acquiring Mercedes-Benz, and Mercedes-Benz is the best choice. What do you think of this matter?"

"Is it possible for manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz and Fortuna to join the competition?"

…………

More than a dozen microphones were aimed at Jonathan at once, and every question was so sharp that Jonathan didn't know how to answer it.

"I'm sorry, these issues will naturally be resolved after our negotiation is over. The negotiation is about to start, please make room."

Jonathan just said a few words, and then with the help of his entourage, he got rid of the reporters' siege and arrived at the Mercedes-Benz factory smoothly.

Although it is only a few steps away from the place where he usually works, today is the first time Jonathan has stepped into the factory area here.

To be honest, as soon as he entered, Jonathan was shocked by the scale of the place. He thought it was just a small factory area with an annual output of tens of thousands. Unexpectedly, after entering, he found that the annual production capacity here is at least 20 vehicles, and the factory area The second phase of the project is still in progress, and it is estimated that the design production capacity of the entire production base can reach the level of 40 to 50!
There were still nearly 10 minutes before the negotiation started, and Jonathan took advantage of this time to walk around the major workshops. Even if he didn't go into the workshops to observe carefully, Jonathan could feel the production line just by taking a glimpse at the door. advanced.

Watching the video about the Mercedes-Benz production process shot by Harland before, Jonathan thought there was a post-processing factor in it. He didn't think the production line here would be so advanced. Now it seems that it is simply stupid!
All these signs show that when Muller invested in building this factory, it was definitely not a whim, but after careful planning, the current Mercedes-Benz company came into being!
If I paid more attention to this company at the beginning, wouldn't it be such a difficult situation today?

Thinking of this, Jonathan felt very annoyed, as if all this was caused by his neglect, but he would never have thought that all of this was secretly manipulated by Zhou Fei.

"It's almost nine o'clock, shouldn't we go to the conference room?" the assistant on the side reminded.

Jonathan looked at his watch, then nodded, turned and walked towards the meeting room.
