(PS: Sorry, I fell asleep at night and forgot to update)

When Mercedes-Benz was shocked to learn that Jia Yapeng, the chairman of Daqian Group, personally led the team here. Mercedes-Benz raised the reception standards almost immediately. Mercedes-Benz's current CEO Diet Zetsche went to the airport to greet him, and then accompanied him to the hotel. In the afternoon of the same day, a grand welcome banquet was held to welcome Boss Jia.

From the etiquette point of view, the entire reception process was impeccable, and Mercedes-Benz's attitude was also excellent, but Boss Jia seemed to be able to feel that Mr. Diet Zetsche felt a sense of distant alienation towards him.

Soon, this feeling was verified. Halfway through the banquet, an intelligence was passed on. This was the internal information of the Mercedes-Benz Group obtained by Daqian through some special means.

It turns out that there are two factions in Mercedes-Benz. One is supporting the introduction of electric vehicles from Daqian. This faction is led by Mercedes-Benz's vice president and US president Kang Linsong.

The other faction is against Daqian, led by the current Mercedes-Benz CEO Diet Zetsche!"

In other words, Diet Zetsche is opposed to electric cars from Daqian. No wonder although the other party's etiquette is very thoughtful, a faint feeling of keeping people from thousands of miles away can be clearly felt.

I guess if Boss Jia, the world's second rich man, had not come in person, Diet Zetsche would have been so grand.

Soon, the information was proven. After the banquet, under the guidance of Wang Chuanfu, Kang Linsong, the vice president of Mercedes-Benz who supported the introduction of electric vehicles, came to the room to talk to Boss Jia in person.

"We must succeed in this cooperation!" As soon as Kang Linsong came forward, he expressed his attitude very clearly.

"Actually, there is one thing that I'm very surprised, that is, why is Mr. Kang Linsong so optimistic about us Daqian?" Boss Jia asked with a smile, "I remember that the relationship between our Daqian and Mercedes-Benz has not been so good yet!"

"Because the market needs it, the board of directors needs it, and I need it too!" Diet Zetsche said very simply, especially the last sentence also accentuated the tone.

"Mr. Jia, you are the richest man in the world..."

"No, you're wrong. I'm the second richest man in the world. Fortune Magazine has done statistics for me!" Boss Jia quickly denied.

"No, that's the trick of the Americans. They're just shameless. We all know that you are the real richest man in the world!" Kang Linsong smiled.

"Okay, you say yours, I'll listen to mine, let's continue." Boss Jia smiled slightly.

"That's right. The European market is now very popular for electric vehicles. The board of directors is eager to launch an electric vehicle immediately. This is the basis!"

"But on the other hand, Diet Zetsche doesn't want this. He is a traditional old stubborn man. He has always adhered to the pattern of fuel vehicles and is very repulsive to electric vehicles. But this time, because the board of directors tends to introduce electric vehicles immediately, he has to surrender!"

"Ditt Zetsche is old, and his thinking can no longer keep up with this era. Mercedes-Benz needs a younger and broader leader!" The handsome Kang Linsong licked his lips and said, "Mr. Jia, this is the opportunity for us. As long as we work together, you can sell Daqian electric vehicles to Europe through us, and I can become the new CEO of Mercedes-Benz. We can establish a more stable alliance and occupy this brand new market together!"

"Of course, we are doing what Daqian is doing to sell electric cars to Europe, otherwise I wouldn't have come from all the way to come in person!" Boss Jia smiled, "But if you just say these things, it seems that Mr. Kang Linsong doesn't have to come in person!"

"Of course, so I hope to reach a tacit understanding with Mr. Jia in advance!" Kang Linsong said impatiently. "I can directly reveal the trump card of this negotiation to you, that is, in order to be able to sell your company's electric cars in Europe as soon as possible, we hope to change the sales strategy a little."

"Because the European people do not have a great recognition of the Daqian brand, simply selling Daqian brand electric vehicles may not have a good effect. On the contrary, if we directly introduce raw materials from your company, then assemble them directly in the Mercedes-Benz factory, and then put our Mercedes-Benz brand on it, then the entire European market will be unimpeded. After all, the influence of the Mercedes-Benz brand in Europe is obvious to all."

"This is the trump card of our board of directors. As long as Mr. Jia can agree to this requirement, even if the price is higher, we can accept it, and we can sign the contract immediately, and we will catch him off guard."

"I promise you that our cooperation will be implemented within no more than 3 days at most. In the future, your company will continue to provide us with car parts, and we sell globally. We can reach a close strategic cooperation alliance. As long as I am still in the position of chairman for one day, our alliance will be unbreakable!" Kang Linsong said excitedly.

"I understand what you mean!" Boss Jia nodded, and then asked again, "Is there any other problem?"

"There is another small problem!" Kang Linsong smiled and said, "This model may cause some technical troubles. After all, our Mercedes-Benz cars cannot not use our Mercedes-Benz's own technology, so we hope to form a technical alliance with Daqian. Our Mercedes-Benz has developed our electric vehicle technology, and your company has also developed all your electric vehicle technology. We all build a technology pool together and share the technologies of our two companies together!"

"Mr. Jia, this is a rare opportunity. Mercedes-Benz rarely shares our core technology with other companies, and this will not cause any loss to you. After all, we all need to purchase raw materials from your company, which is just to avoid being criticized in terms of technology!"

"Okay, I understand. I need to think about it. We will give you an answer tomorrow!" Boss Jia nodded, and Kang Linsong left with anticipation and gaze, leaving Wang Chuanfu and Boss Jia in the room.

——————————

"Chairman, I'm back!" Half an hour later, Kang Linsong, who had just revealed the company's background in front of Boss Jia, sat face to face with his opponent Diet Zetsche.

"Have Jia Yapeng met you?" asked Diet Zetsche.

"See you," Kang Linsong nodded.

"Then do you think he believed us?" Diet Zetsche asked again.
