Chapter 531 The Initiator
Zhou Fei's complexion turned extremely ugly, even with the city he had been struggling with all these years, he couldn't help but want to yell, but after a few seconds of silence, Zhou Fei still suppressed the anger in his heart.

"What does Baixun say, are you clinging to this clause?"

"Yes, we had a good talk in the morning, but in the afternoon, Baixun's legal counsel suddenly said that they wanted to add some terms. I thought it was some unimportant details, but who knew they would propose these terms. I can't do it. Lord, so I called Mr. Zhou for instructions, what do you think should I do?" The other end of the phone replied.

"What is Baixun's attitude? Can you remove these clauses and return to the original negotiation content?" Zhou Fei continued to ask.

"It's very firm. It can be said that it will not give an inch. Unless we agree to add these terms, it will be difficult to proceed. It is said that this is the meaning of Baixun President Xu."

"Then you guys come back first and suspend the negotiation with Baixun." Zhou Fei replied.

It doesn't make much sense to spend any more at this time.

"What's going on, Mr. Zhou, didn't we have a good talk, why did you suddenly suspend the negotiation?"

After Zhou Fei hung up the phone, Ma Huafu stood up and asked.

Just now Ma Huafu saw the change in Zhou Fei's expression with his own eyes. Although he didn't know the specific content of the conversation, he could roughly infer that Baixun must have made some unreasonable demands again.

"Baixun changed its mind temporarily. I guess the negotiation cannot continue." Zhou Fei answered with a slight frown while holding the phone in his hand.

"Why did you change your mind? Didn't you agree before?"

"During the negotiation just now, Baixun proposed to add such a clause in the contract, allowing Tesla to provide Baixun with battery technical support, and also asked us, Feichi, to provide help in sales channels. "Zhou Fei replied concisely.

"They are delusional!" Ma Huafu suddenly stood up and roared as soon as Zhou Fei finished speaking.

Seeing this, the other people in the small cafeteria didn't even dare to breathe. They all lowered their heads and concentrated on eating.

"Go back to the office and tell." Zhou Fei stood up, and then said loudly, "Regardless of whether you heard the conversation just now, just treat it as if nothing happened, and I don't want anyone else to know what happened here. "

After finishing speaking, Zhou Fei and Ma Huafu walked out of the cafeteria.

"Temporarily changing the terms of cooperation is a big taboo in negotiations. Isn't Baixun afraid of resistance from the entire industry?" Ma Huafu said in a low voice as he walked, "By the way, does Xu Yingteng know about this?"

"It was Xu Yingteng's instruction, otherwise how would they dare to make such a change with just a few members of the negotiating team."

"This is the first time I have met Xu Yingteng to do business like this. Compared with him, Fred from Dafeng is simply a saint." The grievances have all disappeared, and now there is such a quarrel, it is really a matter of old and new hatred.

The two soon came to Ma Huafu's office, and after closing the door, Ma Huafu asked, "How does Mr. Zhou plan to deal with this matter?"

Negotiations have entered the final stage, and the outside world is even more buzzing. Now, who doesn't know that Feichi is ready to cooperate with Baixun.

Now that there was such a sudden commotion, Ma Huafu was in a mess for a while.

"What else can we do? We can't agree to any of Baixun's new requests, otherwise our Feichi company will suffer too much from this cooperation." Zhou Fei replied directly.

Battery technology is the core technology of electric vehicles, which is equivalent to the engine technology of traditional vehicles. If this technology can be used, it is equivalent to surrendering Tesla's core competitiveness. Fly wouldn't do it.

What's more, Baixun also proposed to ask Feichi Company to provide help in sales channels, which means that Feichi Company will not only help Baixun build cars, but also help sell cars, and most of the final proceeds will belong to Baixun. Did Xu Yingteng really think that Mercedes-Benz was taken advantage of by such a loss-making business?

"A promise is definitely not allowed. If even this kind of clause is acceptable, it is simply an alliance under the city. If it gets out, our Mercedes-Benz company will become a joke around the world. Whoever we cooperate with at that time will probably want to beat us a sum."

Ma Huafu replied.This kind of clause is no different from the previous contract of humiliating the country.

"The key now is to figure out why Xu Yingteng suddenly proposed such terms that we would never accept, and what happened in the past few days." Zhou Fei frowned slightly, walking back and forth in the room.

It stands to reason that everything is ready for the cooperation between Baixun and Feichi, and the only thing left is Dongfeng. The high-level officials of both parties have confirmed this cooperation on various occasions. The day before Xu Yingteng was about to formally sign the contract, he suddenly asked for these terms to be added. It can't be to deliberately play Zhou Fei.

Moreover, if the cooperation fails this time, it will inevitably arouse heated discussions from the outside world. At that time, Zhou Fei only needs to explain the cause and effect of the matter clearly, and Baixun's reputation will inevitably be damaged. Ask the negotiating team to make such a request, unless the benefits he gets from this matter are greater than the costs he pays for it!

"Could it be that Shenqi has given more favorable conditions?" Ma Huafu said.

"At present, this possibility is indeed the greatest."

After ruining the cooperation with Feichi, the only person who can be connected with Baixun is Shenqi, which they first contacted.

But Zhou Fei still couldn't believe that Shenqi, as a state-owned enterprise, could really offer better terms than Mercedes-Benz?
"Wait a minute, I'll make a call and ask." Zhou Fei then took out his phone and dialed a senior executive of Shenqi.

A few minutes later, Zhou Fei hung up the phone, then shook his head, "It's not Shenqi, Shenqi has completely given up the cooperation with Baixun."

"It's not Shenqi, so which company could it be?" Ma Huafu asked in confusion, "Could it be that Baixun is negotiating at the same time, not only Shenqi and us?"

"Forget it, I'll call Xu Yingteng first and see if I can make an appointment to meet up." After speaking, Zhou Fei dialed Xu Yingteng's number.

"Hey, it's Mr. Xu. I've heard about the negotiation. If you have time, let's meet at eight o'clock tonight. What do you think?"

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Zhou. I don't think I have time today. I still have guests here. How about tomorrow morning? At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, we will meet at the old place, okay?" Xu Yingteng came from the other end of the phone familiar voice.

"Okay, then listen to Mr. Xu, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock." Zhou Fei nodded.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Yingteng put a smile on his face again, looked at the man beside him and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Trump, where did we just talk?"
