All round car designer

Chapter 548

Zhou Fei is willing to help Ramsey and the others because of his love for cars. Since Human has gone so far in autonomous driving, Zhou Fei does not want their research to stop due to some objective reasons.

"Then we thank Mr. Zhou." Lin Hua looked at Zhou Fei gratefully and said.

"It's okay. If you feel uneasy, you can also pay us the normal rental fee. We can agree to all of these." Seeing that Ramsey was still hesitant, Zhou Fei replied with a smile.

"Okay, thank you Mr. Zhou for being so thoughtful." Ramsey quickly replied, Zhou Fei's words have covered this part, if he still refuses, it would be too outrageous.

Later, Zhou Fei discussed other issues with Ramsey in detail. It has to be said that Ramsey's understanding of automatic driving is indeed beyond ordinary people. As long as enough time and necessary conditions are given, even On their own, Human would be a big business too.

After coming out of the office building, Zhou Fei and the others returned directly to the hotel.Although this contact today did not achieve substantive results, it did not result in nothing. At least Zhou Fei saw the strength and potential of this company, and at the same time understood the bottom line of the other party's negotiation. This is still very useful for the next negotiation. helpful.

"Tomorrow's negotiation, how will Mr. Zhou plan to persuade Ramsey and the others to agree to our plan? Judging from their appearance, their attitude seems to be very firm." On the way back, Ma Huafu asked.

"Actually, I think Lin Hua's proposal is quite good. We will obtain 20.00% of the equity in this round of financing, and we will increase our shareholding in the next round of financing. Isn't the result the same?" Jiang Yang, who was driving, said.

"It looks the same, but in fact we can't achieve our desired result. According to Lin Hua, they can raise funds in installments, and we can increase the shareholding in installments, and the equity will increase step by step. But if it is really So, why does Ramsey have to insist on the condition that we can only hold 20.00% of the shares?"

Zhou Fei paused, and continued, "Lin Hua's method can indeed increase our shareholding, but the increase will not be very large. In the next round of financing, they can completely use the method of diluting equity to With restrictions on our shareholding, Ramsey still wants them to control the company themselves."

"That's right, if the results are all the same, then why bother procrastinating? Wouldn't it be better to just do it in one step?" Ma Huafu nodded approvingly.

"Then Brother Fei intends to stick to the original conditions and continue to negotiate with them? Judging from Ramsey's appearance, he doesn't seem to be the kind of person who can easily give in."

Just now Zhou Fei proposed the condition that Human can provide real car testing for free. Although he has repeatedly emphasized that there will be no additional conditions, Ramsey still feels uneasy. When Zhou Fei said that they can rent at the market price, Ramsey His expression relaxed.

For such a person who is so guarded, Jiang Yang felt that if he continued to talk, the result would be the same.

"It's not necessarily necessary to stick to the original plan. What I want is the control of Human, and the reason why Ramsey disagrees with the equity ratio I proposed is nothing more than worrying that once Human is successfully acquired by us, he and Lin People like Hua will face the possibility of being kicked out, which I can clearly guarantee in the contract that I will not do this, and the possibility of success is still very high."

Regarding the case of the founder of the company being kicked out of the company he created by the board of directors, what Zhou Fei remembers most clearly is that Jobs was kicked out of Apple twice. Zhou Fei can still understand Ramsey's concerns.

"I think what Ramsey cares about is not whether he will be kicked out, but whether the Human company can continue to develop according to his plan, so he wants to firmly hold the management power in his own hands. , to prevent other people from interfering, if we start at this point and come up with our future development plan for Human, won’t it be easier to impress them?”

Jiang Yang suggested.

"I think Mr. Jiang's words are reasonable. Mr. Zhou knows the most about this. I think Mr. Zhou had a very congenial chat with them today." Ma Huafu also echoed.

"Okay, then after I go back, I will draw up a development plan on autopilot and Human as soon as possible, and get this matter settled as soon as possible." Zhou Fei nodded.

At the same time, in Ramsey's office, Lin Hua and Ramsey were also discussing the next negotiation.

"I think Feichi Company is quite sincere this time, and the quotations meet our requirements, but the shareholding ratio is too large, at least 80.00%. What do you think?" Lin Hua asked.

"In fact, I really want to cooperate with Mercedes-Benz. Not to mention anything else, there is no other person in this world who understands Zhou Fei's views on automatic driving today. If I can cooperate with them, Human's The pace of development will only go faster." But then Ramsey sighed again,
"The difference in shareholding is really too big. Once we agree to this request for 80.00% of the shareholding, we will not be able to control the rest of the matter. It would be fine if Zhou Fei can persist in his enthusiasm for autonomous driving. Like everyone else, just to speculate, then..."

"I don't think Zhou Fei is that kind of person. He understands technology and should know how important unmanned driving is to the future of automobiles, otherwise he wouldn't have provided us with so much assistance," Lin Hua said.

Ramsey shook his head, "I also hope that he is not that kind of person, but I can't put Human's future on his character. No one can guarantee whether Zhou Fei is as short-sighted as those capitalists on Wall Street. .”

"By the way, what about Nicholas? How did they respond?" Ramsay asked quickly, remembering this incident.

If the negotiation with Zhou Fei fails, Ramsey hopes that Nikolai can meet his request.

"I haven't replied yet, wait a little longer, I guess I haven't returned to China yet." Lin Hua responded.

Nikolai headquarters.

After arranging the relevant work, this morning, Trump came to the production workshop of the ES1 car again to learn about the production situation of this car.

Thanks to a series of good news from the company recently, the sales of Nikola ES1 have also increased, which is definitely a good thing for Trump.

"By the way, is there any news about Tesla recently?" Trump asked as he walked out of the workshop.

Since Baixun terminated the cooperation with Tesla, there has been no news from Tesla, and it seems to have been silent. Trump asked his secretary to pay more attention to Tesla's movements and report to him at any time.

"There is no news from Huaxia, but there is some movement from San Francisco, saying that Human is discussing cooperation with a company that is suspected to be Tesla." The secretary replied quickly.
