"This joke is not funny at all!" Diet Zetsche said, and he couldn't help laughing.

Then Kang Linsong laughed.

In the eyes of outsiders, Mercedes-Benz's current CEO and vice president are a pair of fiercely competitive opponents, but what most people don't know is that Kang Linsong is actually a student of Diet Zetsche.

Diet Zetsche once served as a university professor for a while, and Conlinsong was a student of Diet Zetsche at that time, but Conlinsong quickly changed majors, so to outsiders, Conlinsong and Deet Zetsche seem to have no intersection.

However, Kang Linsong was able to climb up the Mercedes-Benz Group in a short time and finally sat in the position of vice president. It would be obviously impossible if Diet Zetsche did not deliberately cultivate it.

In fact, Kang Linsong is the successor trained by Diet Zetsche, but outsiders don’t know it at all, let alone the Daqian Group far away in China.

"Actually, teacher, I don't think we need to play this trick, because Daqian will not reject our conditions!" Kang Linsong said disapprovingly.

"Why do you think so?" Diet Zetsche asked back.

"Because Jia Yapeng came in person!" Kang Linsong smiled coldly and said, "Everyone in the world knows that those people from the Morgan consortium want to kill Jia Yapeng, forcing him to hide in China and become a turtle that had been out for three years."

"Now he actually came to Europe in person, which shows how much he expects electric cars to enter the European market, so he must hope to reach a cooperation with us, so he will never reject my proposal. I dare to promise that he will accept my opinions all tomorrow and then reach a cooperation with us!"

"This is not necessarily the case. You don't know Jia Yapeng!" Diet Zetsche shook his head and said, "I went to learn about this person's history and found that he was a person who never gave up from beginning to end."

"You said just now that this time Jia Yapeng would rather risk his life to come to Europe. How could he be willing to be a parts supplier instead of launching Daqian Automobile's own brand?"

"So it's difficult for him to agree to our request. We may experience a very painful negotiation at the negotiating table tomorrow!" Diet Zetsche sighed.

"Since that's the case, then why do you agree with my plan this time and ask me to have private contact with him?" Kang Linsong asked in confusion.

"Because your plan also has certain value! The purpose of letting you reveal your bottom line is actually to let him know our goals first and be prepared in mind, so as not to collapse directly at the negotiating table!"

"Be prepared, everything bad things may happen tomorrow!" Diet Zetsche patted his student's shoulder, but Kang Linsong's face was still a little unruly. Diet Zetsche had no choice but to do this. I believe that Boss Jia will teach him how to be a human being tomorrow.

——————————

At 10 a.m. the next morning, the negotiations were held in the top-floor conference room of Mercedes-Benz headquarters. The level of negotiations was very high. Both sides entered the venue with a negotiation team of at least 30 people, and all of them were led by their respective CEOs.

Jia Yapeng directly faced Diet Zetsche.

However, it is estimated that there will be such a formal and comprehensive combination on the first day. By the beginning of the next day, neither Diet Zetsche nor Jia Yapeng will appear directly at the negotiation site.

After all, once something is rejected by the big boss of both sides, then the negotiation will not be flexible. Let the second-in-command below discuss. Even if there is any problem, the big boss behind can make various compromises and concessions. This is the anomaly of negotiation.

The first day is usually just a systematic process.

The first step in this process is to announce the purpose that this negotiation needs to be achieved. Mercedes-Benz, who led the first to lead the negotiation, said that the purpose of this negotiation was that Mercedes-Benz hopes to introduce Daqian's electric vehicles and technology to sell them in the European market. Mr. Jia Yapeng expressed his approval. Then both parties need to come up with a draft cooperation plan and hand it over to the other party for review, and then negotiate and discuss the terms in the draft one by one, and finally reach a consensus.

Soon, Mercedes-Benz took out the negotiation draft that he had carefully prepared and handed it to Daqian. However, when they looked at Daqian in pain and were about to see what the draft terms that Daqian proposed was unacceptable and needed to conduct a long and tormented negotiation, they found that Daqian was empty in his hands and seemed to have no intention of handing it to the Mercedes-Benz draft.

"Ahem, that's right, because we only received an invitation from your company a week ago, and time is inevitable that we are in a hurry, so we didn't prepare our own draft!"

"Anyway, the negotiations are about the draft, and finally reaching a consensus contract, so I think it is enough for us to negotiate around the draft provided by your company. We don't have to provide another draft for us!" Wang Chuanfu explained with a smile.

"..." Hearing Wang Chuanfu's explanation, everyone on the Mercedes-Benz opposite was a little confused.

Although Daqian’s reason is normal, it is also normal that he can’t come up with a perfect draft in a week.

But the problem is that the other party is Daqian, ranked tenth in the Fortune 500 in the world, but in fact, it may rank in the top three, super companies with nearly 500,000 employees worldwide.

Such a huge enterprise with such a large number of elites, let alone a week, even if you give them a night, you can still create a decent draft with beautiful words, clear rules and clear requirements.

This is the ability that every big company should have. For example, the Mercedes-Benz draft was actually only prepared for three days, but Daqian did not. This seems too irregular!

The normal negotiation process for two large companies should not be that both parties first provide a thick stack of drafts, and then do nothing on the first day, and specifically study the differences between the other party's draft and the own draft.

Then see which of these differences can be compromised, which can be fought for, and which can be settled and cannot be given up.

Anyway, it takes three days just to review the other party’s draft, and it is common for a week. They rarely encounter such situations, and the other party doesn’t even have a draft. This is really unprofessional!

"Forget it, maybe this is the case with the Chinese. Besides, negotiations around our draft are also a good thing, so the initiative is in our hands!" Mercedes-Benz and others muttered in their hearts, and then the negotiations officially began.
