All round car designer

Chapter 553 Fred's Warning
After Lin Hua and Ramsey left, Schneider sat there alone, finishing his coffee before returning to his room.

Schneider was a little surprised that Ramsey did not directly sign the contract. All the conditions were in accordance with the requirements of the other party. What is going on now?
But Schneider didn't think too much about it. Even if Ramsey didn't choose to sign with Nikola in the end, but chose to cooperate with Mercedes-Benz, it would not be a big loss for Schneider. As long as the cooperation with Baixun is done well, less The acquisition of the Human company will not affect the overall development of Nikola.

After resting for a while, Schneider saw that it was still early, so he called Fred who was far away in Germany. He often communicated with Fred about work, which was a habit Schneider had developed recently.

After the call was connected, Schneider briefly told Fred what had happened in the past two days, "I have already met with Human's management, and they are still very satisfied with the offer, but they are not If you didn’t sign with us right away, you should think carefully between Nikola and Tesla.”

"In fact, I don't think Nikola needs to be involved in the acquisition of Human. Your top priority now is to quickly implement the cooperation with Baixun, develop new models as soon as possible, and catch up with Tesla in terms of intelligence. , instead of wasting time and energy on this kind of thing, even if Tesla still fails to reach a cooperation with Human this time, there are many similar companies in the world, is it possible that you can still intervene every time?"

Fred on the other end of the phone was quite accusing.

This kind of thing of not doing a proper job actually happened to Schneider.

"Sir, the lesson is, but I am not entirely here to interfere with the Feichi company. This company called Human is a company with great potential. Apart from other things, the investment value alone is worth my running. one trip."

"Let me teach you another truth, you must focus on the main business, and don't let the company carry too much burden of sideline business. Nikola is a car manufacturer, so you should focus on the development and sales of cars. In fact, no matter how valuable that company is, is it possible that it can still exceed the market value of the entire electric car? Mercedes-Benz is such a big company, have you ever seen Zhou Fei do business that has nothing to do with cars?"

Since Fred retired, he has been thinking about the mistakes he made in the past. The biggest one is that he loves to compete with Zhou Fei too much. What Zhou Fei wants to do, no matter whether it is related to Dafeng Motor's development strategy or not, he always thinks about it. Thinking of blending in and letting the other party control his steps, it seems that he is in the lead, but in fact he has been led by the nose by Zhou Fei, just like Schneider now.

Of course, you should pay attention to the performance of your opponents, but the most important thing is to do your own thing well, not only in business competition, but also in work and study.

"I see, I will pay attention to it in the future." Schneider was ashamed. He thought he would be praised by Fred, but he did not expect it to be a lesson.

"Do you know what purpose Zhou Fei came to America this time?" Fred asked instead of continuing the training.

"Is there a purpose? Besides wanting to reach a cooperation agreement with Human, it should be... to expand the European and American markets for Tesla?" Thinking of this, Schneider was also shocked into a cold sweat, patronizing Human, but forgot There are more important things to deal with.

"I have already inquired through former friends that Tesla's European factory is also built in Munich. It is the same as Nikola. Although Nikola has Dafeng Motors paving the road, Tesla also has Mercedes-Benz. As an aid, in terms of brand influence alone, Mercedes-Benz is not inferior to Dafeng, and its various resources are even stronger than Dafeng Motor, so you have to be mentally prepared."

This is the current status of the international automobile industry. Mercedes-Benz, a sub-brand of Mercedes-Benz, has international influence that is no less than that of Dafeng Motor. This shows how powerful Mercedes-Benz is.

"I see. I will go to Munich the day after tomorrow at the latest to speed up the construction of the new factory. Thank you, Mr. Fred, for your teaching." Schneider said hastily.

After hanging up the phone, Schneider let out a long breath. Since returning from Huaxia, Schneider said that he was not complacent, but in fact he was a little complacent. After all, Baixun was snatched from Feichi Company. No sense of accomplishment.

But the phone call with Fred just now was a revelation. When he was still immersed in the past achievements and couldn't extricate himself, Zhou Fei had already taken action quickly.

Thinking of this, Schneider quickly called his secretary again, "Book a ticket to Munich tomorrow night, if Human doesn't agree to sign the contract tomorrow, then you will be responsible for signing Human... If they refuse After signing the contract, there is no need to increase the quotation, just a few reminders, yes, this is our final quotation.",

After arranging all this, Schneider lay on the bed in peace. If Fred hadn't been vigilant, he would still be walking on the wrong path without knowing it.

***
The next day, Zhou Fei brought yesterday's materials and came to Human's office building again. Although he was worried about whether Human had signed a contract with Nikolay yesterday, since he had already arrived, Zhou Fei still planned to make the final decision. Try hard, if it doesn't work, then you can only find a way out.

After both parties sat down, Ramsey spoke first, "Mr. Zhou, I still want to apologize to you for what happened yesterday. It is true that we mishandled this matter, and we should not have terminated the negotiation hastily."

Zhou Fei smiled and waved his hands, "It's okay, it's okay, you have urgent matters to deal with, we can understand this, besides, this matter has passed, let's go back to the negotiation."

"Actually, there was nothing urgent yesterday, just..." Ramsey smiled shyly, not knowing what to say.

"Let me say it." Lin Hua accepted Ramsey's words and continued, "Actually, yesterday, we received a call from Nikolai, and they also re-offered our company an offer, because of this The quotation matched our requirements very well, and I was impatient, so I rashly terminated the negotiation with you, and I always feel very sorry afterwards."

Zhou Fei didn't expect Lin Hua and the others to be so honest, and told them what happened directly, and at the same time confirmed their conjectures, it really was Nicholas who stepped in again!
"It's really nothing. Since it's a negotiation, it's natural to choose the most suitable one. May I take the liberty to ask, what is the quotation given by Nikola?" Zhou Fei hesitated, but still insisted on asking .
