Dieter Caiche was obviously convinced by this plan. It sounded like a perfect plan. Mercedes-Benz would be able to maximize their profits by purchasing cheap parts at a very low price.
On the other hand, the Daqian's own profits seemed to be at a disadvantage, but Dieter Caiche understood that this was what Jia Yapeng wanted. He wasn't willing to just be a parts supplier. He wanted to enter the entire European electric scooter market. That was why he used all kinds of methods to force out the idea of a joint venture with Mercedes-Benz.
Although Dieter Caiche didn't want the Daqian to be directly involved, the money was too tempting. Moreover, it was only 30% of the shares. The company's control was still in the hands of Mercedes-Benz.
Although this wasn't a perfect plan, it was definitely a plan that could take care of the interests of both parties and allow both parties to reach a consensus.
The only thing that would be affected was probably the tax of each country. However, legal tax avoidance had always been a method that every company was proficient in. They were confident that they wouldn't violate any laws. This way, the countries couldn't do anything to them.
"I don't have the final say in this plan. It must be approved by the board of directors!" Dieter Caiche finally said. This also meant that Dieter Caiche approved of this plan. Mercedes-Benz's board of directors was famous for being passive. Other than the general direction, they basically wouldn't interfere with the company's normal decisions. Therefore, the board of directors was almost 100% in favor of this cooperation plan.
"Happy cooperation!" Boss Jia smiled.
That night, Mercedes-Benz's board of directors worked overtime to jointly review and approve this cooperation plan.
The entire board of directors didn't expect this draft to be reached so quickly. They were prepared for at least a month of difficult negotiations.
But in the end, in just one day, the final agreement reached by both parties was placed in front of the board of directors. They roughly skimmed through it. Indeed, it guaranteed the interests and demands of both parties to the greatest extent. Therefore, this was a cooperation that could be trusted.
Although they were surprised that the negotiation speed was so fast, it didn't seem like a negotiation between two top international companies. But since it was already agreed, they didn't want to delay it for even a second.
After all, this was the time when environmental protection was the hottest in Europe. It was also the time when the electric scooter market's favorability and expectations were the highest. The sooner the product was released, the more favorable it would be to the market.
There was no reason for the board of directors to delay this negotiation and cooperation.
Thus, on the third day, the Daqian's Jia Yapeng and the Mercedes-Benz's Dieter Tsai Che signed the contract at the Mercedes-Benz exhibition hall in Europe.
As for why the contract was signed in the exhibition hall, it was naturally because it had the best environment and could best reflect Mercedes-Benz products. If the contract was signed in the middle of countless classic Mercedes-Benz models, the photo effect would definitely be perfect.
These photos were published in newspapers in Europe and even around the world. Naturally, the effect was the best.
That's right. After the board of directors confirmed the contract and Boss Jia confirmed the signing of the contract on the third day, Mercedes-Benz couldn't wait to send the news to the media all over the world.
Then, the global media was shocked. Mercedes-Benz had actually reached an agreement with Daqian Motors. The two parties had jointly set up a subsidiary company to produce cars. Mercedes-Benz was responsible for the technology and production, while Daqian was responsible for the supply of parts!!
This shocking news instantly attracted all the reporters. As a result, in just one day, almost all the reporters in Europe had gathered in the Mercedes-Benz exhibition hall.
However, what made Dieter Tsai Che a little depressed was that these reporters' cameras weren't aimed at him or the beautiful Mercedes-Benz cars. Instead, they were all aimed at Jia Yapeng. They were frantically taking all kinds of photos of Boss Jia.
It couldn't be helped. As the Daqian's ranking in the world's top 500 list and Boss Jia's ranking in the world's richest list continued to rise, Boss Jia's global popularity also increased.
However, Boss Jia had been hiding in China for three consecutive years. Many European media usually didn't have the chance to take photos of Boss Jia. Now that Boss Jia had come out, they naturally had to take photos.
At the same time, everyone was very curious. What made Boss Jia hide in Hua Xia and didn't dare to come out? What made Boss Jia come to Mercedes-Benz?
In this regard, Boss Jia smiled and said that he wasn't hiding in China. It was because he had put all his attention and energy on business before, resulting in very little time to accompany his family. Therefore, he basically spent the past three years with his family, not afraid of anything.
As for why he came to Europe, it was because Boss Jia admired and loved Mercedes-Benz very much. Boss Jia especially said that the first car he bought in his life was Mercedes-Benz's Tiger Head Benz. This car was very important to his life, so he was also a loyal fan of Mercedes-Benz. This time, he came to Mercedes-Benz to see the production line of his favorite car brand with his own eyes.
Anyway, after such an answer, Dieter Tsai Che, who was originally a little unhappy, and the entire Mercedes-Benz team suddenly beamed with joy.
Jia Yapeng praised Mercedes-Benz in such a high-profile way, Mercedes-Benz's brand value naturally increased again. In addition, Boss Jia also smoothly began to build his image as a father who loved his family in front of the reporters.
Anyway, in any era, building the image of a loving father who loved his family and loved his family was the most reliable. Didn't you see that almost all the rich people in the world were madmen who spoiled their wives, kind fathers, and family pillars?
It was all about skill!
After signing the contract, Dieter Tsai Che wanted to find some peace and quiet, so he ran to the balcony on the third floor of the museum, intending to take a breather and calm down.
Then, Dieter Tsai Che was surprised to find that Boss Jia was already there. After seeing Dieter Tsai Che, he smiled and waved at him.
"I didn't expect to see you here!" Dieter Tsai Che said with a smile. He ran here originally to find some peace and quiet, but he didn't expect to meet Jia Yapeng again.
"Yes, in the East, this is the legendary fate!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
"Mr. Jia, since the two of us met here because of fate, then can we put down our identities and chat as two ordinary friends? At the same time, can you also answer a question of mine?" Dieter Tsai Che said with a serious face.
"Please speak!"
"Why did you propose such a plan? I've studied it carefully, and this plan is actually not that beneficial for the Daqian!" Dieter Tsai Che said his question.
