"I think ......"

Joseph. Lei Ce subconsciously frowned, he didn't expect Lin Hongfei's appetite to be so good, his brain was so calm, and he could resist making money, refusing to cooperate with Mercedes-Benz on the E-Class model, and instead cooperated with Daimler's MTU company to produce what heavy-duty diesel engines. From Lei Ce's point of view, he would rather cooperate with Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to produce E-Class than let MTU cooperate with Shungeng Diesel Engine Manufacturing Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., to produce diesel engines.

Gasoline engines can only be used for civilian use, but diesel engines are important military equipment.

"I can't call the shots on this, but our Daimler subordinate MTU company is cooperating with one of the best diesel engine manufacturers in the world: Detroit Diesel Engine Company," he frowned, "Lin, I don't think that the technical strength of your company's Shungeng Heavy Diesel Engine Manufacturing Co., Ltd. can be comparable to that of Detroit Diesel Engine Company, I am not very optimistic about your decision......"

"No, it's you MTU who are talking about cooperation with DDC, not cooperating," Lin Hongfei corrected Joseph seriously. The mistake in Reitzer's words was not given to Joseph. Reitzer had a hint of an opportunity to mislead himself, and at the same time a subtle hint at Joseph through this action. Reitzer: I know everything you Daimler is doing, so I hope you'd better not play those tricks in front of me, and he doesn't even forget to laugh at Joseph. Reitzer, "Mr. Reitzer, General Motors' requirements are not low, right?" In the words of us Chinese, it is the DDC people who are opening their mouths, and I heard that the directors of Daimler are now arguing fiercely about whether to cooperate with Detroit Diesel Engine Company. ”

As a diesel engine manufacturer under General Motors of the United States. When negotiating with Daimler MTU, Detroit Diesel Engine Company was not ambiguous at all, and did not show mercy at all because the other party was Daimler, on the contrary, it was precisely because they saw that the other party was Daimler, so they opened their mouths very unceremoniously and offered a series of conditions that made Daimler both headache and reluctant to let go, intending to bite off a piece of meat from Daimler...... There is no way, who let the products of the Detroit Diesel Engine Company occupy 75% of the share of US military diesel engines for a long time, and it is naturally impossible to do this without excellent quality. This is the confidence of others.

It was precisely by relying on its own confidence that the Detroit Diesel Engine Plant expressed to Daimler that it was not ambiguous: cooperate with your Daimler? OK! But you have to show real money and real skills.

If it weren't for Lin Hongfei coming out and inserting a lever, the final result of the two companies would definitely be to cooperate, and the strong combination of the two companies in technology directly led to the birth of two epoch-making diesel engines: MTU/DDC2000 series and 4000 series...... However, it is said that MTU was cheated by the Americans.

But now, because Lin Hongfei jumped out. Jean Joseph. After hesitating for a long time, Lei Zer finally made up his mind. "Okay. Lin, although I am not sure whether we can cooperate with your company in the field of heavy-duty diesel engine technology, I think we can inspect your company's diesel engine manufacturing enterprises to determine whether there is a possibility of cooperation between the two sides. ”

"I believe that the results of the investigation will surprise you," Lin Hongfei was not modest at all at this time. "I assure you that although our heavy-duty diesel engines are still lacking in some technical aspects, the potential is huge, and most importantly. We have full sincerity, will not be as big as DDC, and the cooperation with MTU will inevitably be a win-win result that satisfies both parties. ”

Joseph. Lei Zerqiang resisted the urge to roll his eyes: Can you be thicker?

……………………

With this premise of cooperation, some things can be said more openly, Joseph. Lei Ze said bluntly, "Lin, we are already partners now, there are some things, huh...... Is it okay to stop? ”

Of course, Lin Hongfei understands that Joseph. Reitzer was referring to the months of loud denunciations against Mercedes-Benz that are now taking place in the United States.

This loud denunciation campaign that began in North America not only caused Mercedes-Benz's products to lose their image in the American market and their sales plummeted, but even now this trend has spread to Daimler's home base: in Europe, Mercedes-Benz's various models, whether it is a C-class car or an E-class car, have been affected to varying degrees, and the S-class is the hardest hit area.

You must know that the Mercedes-Benz W140S600Pullman is modified on the basis of W140S600, since the pullman will have problems, then who dares to guarantee that the prototype of the pullman W140S600 no problems? By extension, is there a problem with the entire W140 series? After all, from the lowest S280 to the most advanced S600, the same chassis and suspension are used.

In one sentence, Daimler is facing a serious crisis of brand trust and a related market crisis, and if this matter is not handled well, the result will undoubtedly be catastrophic.

Everyone knows that this matter must have an inseparable relationship with Lin Hongfei, but a fool will not admit that this matter has something to do with him, even if everyone knows what this matter is about, it will be as if he has been wronged and denied it sadly, "Mr. Lei Ze, although I may feel a little sad when I say this, I still want to say that the turmoil of this incident came out from the United States, and it has nothing to do with our Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and myself. ”

"In recent years, American cars have declined, look at the highest-end luxury models produced by the Americans, whether it is Cadillac fleetwood, or Lincoln's towncar, the market price in the American market is not even half of the Mercedes-Benz S series, the pride and arrogance of the Americans, I believe Mr. Reitzer, you must have a deep understanding, now you Daimler has the handle in their hands, with your understanding of the Americans, do you think they will let go of such a good opportunity, A chance to hit you Daimler and Mercedes-Benz as much as possible? ”

"Obviously, this is a move by Chrysler to take advantage of this incident to hit Mercedes-Benz and let their Chrysler 300C occupy the high-end car position. You see, Mr. Reitzer, this is a war in the mall, and apart from bloodless and smokeless, it is no different from a life-and-death battle. ”

"Now, you came to me for this matter...... "He spread his hands, and the helpless smile on his face was mixed with sarcasm, "Mr. Reitzer, don't you think you've found the wrong person?" You slander a successful business person so much, are you sure that Daimler can afford the serious consequences of this? ”

"That's right, we all know that it's the American auto companies that are stirring up the storm behind the scenes," said Joseph. Lei Ze nodded happily and admitted this, and at the same time indirectly admitted Lin Hongfei's hint: put Lin Hongfei aside in this matter, "But we also know that it is you who planned all this: Mr. Lin Hongfei, I heard that Chrysler Motors paid you $50 million in consulting fees in order to establish a high-end image of Chrysler 300C, and this $50 million is not just you tell them how to operate Chrysler 300C into a special car for the US Secretary of State, right?" ”

"What if I say $50 million is the cost of consulting?" Lin Hongfei asked rhetorically, with an expression that Lao Tzu didn't admit that there were other reasons in it, and it was rare that there was not the slightest shame on his face.

"Huh?" In the face of Lin Hongfei's answer, Joseph. Lei Ce was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Lin Hongfei to be so shameless, he had said everything to this point, and he dared not admit it...... But I can't do anything about him at all!

Damn it, how can this guy be the same as those damn politicians?

He cursed Lin Hongfei's Joseph fiercely in his heart. Lei Ze is still trying to make the most difficult temptation, "Mr. Lin, you must understand that no one will pay you $50 million for consulting for an idea......"

"But now there is," Lin Hongfei interrupted Joseph. "You can ask the people at Chrysler Motors and they'll tell you without hesitation: 'Yes, we paid $50 million for consulting, $50 million, what the!'" But when the curse is over, they will surely tell you; But I have to admit that although the price of $50 million is a bit expensive, we think it's worth the money, and Lin Hongfei's bastard idea is really good, just look at what our Chrysler 300C is doing in the market now. ', Mr. Reitzer, do you believe me? ”

Joseph. Lei Ce wanted to believe it or not, but the sad thing was that he understood that whether he believed it or not, it didn't matter anymore, the important thing was that whether he believed it or not, he had to believe it, even if everyone knew that this matter was made by this small or even a little fresh bastard in front of him, but as long as he didn't admit it, and the Americans didn't admit it, Daimler couldn't do anything about them, even if everyone knew what Lu Dao was all about.

The reason is simple, Daimler has no evidence. (To be continued......)
