Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 187
Negotiations with the Germans were more complicated than Zhang Yingfang imagined.

Let me first briefly introduce the situation of the Zhang family's existing companies.

Before Zhang Quanfu retired from the head office with the longest history in the country, Zhang Quanfu was the largest shareholder of the company, and his children each held small shares.

But as Zhang Quanfu retired, his shares were also transferred to Zhang Yingfang's elder brother Zhang Yingwang, who managed and operated the head office's business.There are also several small companies under the head office, but the business volume is not large, and they cannot be compared with the head office.

In addition, the brothers and sisters also have their own independent companies, but they are all out of the control of the head office.

The shareholding structure of German Meite Bear Whale International Trading Co., Ltd. was originally the same as that of the domestic head office. Zhang Quanfu was the major shareholder, and his children each held some odd shares.But as he retires, he also needs to transfer the equity to one of his children to replace him and continue to contribute to the family.

But the eldest brother has already inherited Zhang Quanfu's position as the leader of the domestic company. If he is given the major shareholder of a foreign company, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among other children.

Although the second child, Zhang Yinghua, definitely doesn't need to think about it.But giving the third child Zhang Yingfang or the fourth child Zhang Yingfei became a dilemma.

Zhang Quanfu came to Germany this time to make a decision.

He originally wanted to take advantage of this negotiation with the Germans to take a good look at the performance of the two children.

Who knew that Zhang Yingfei disappeared for no reason, which made him quite sad.

Then only Zhang Yingfang was left.This seemed to be his true thought as well.

This negotiation is about the Germans investing money to take part of the shares of the domestic head office, and in exchange for the head office's domestic and international markets.

According to Zhang Quanfu and Zhang Yingfang's vision, in addition to providing funds, the Germans can also provide technology and some European customers to the domestic head office.

But to their surprise, the Germans were neither willing to provide technology nor share the European market, so they directly rejected their proposal.

It's okay to invest more money, Zhang Yingfang took a step back.

But the Germans are also unwilling to invest more money. Their plan is to first lend money to the domestic head office.If the head office's finances and business are developing smoothly, then keep the creditor's rights and let the domestic head office pay the interest on time, but the interest will be slightly higher.If the development of the head office does not go smoothly, the German side will recover the loan in time, and everyone will fall apart.

This was very different from the situation that the intermediary had introduced to Zhang Quanfu and Zhang Yingfang before. The more Zhang Yingfang talked, the more she got angry, and Louis made another toss in the middle, and her mood became very bad.

The German side was in charge of negotiating with a tall, lanky man with a mustache. He was still eloquently analyzing the advantages of the German side. Zhang Yingfang suddenly reached out and stopped him and continued, "Let's rest for 10 minutes before we talk."

Mustache has seen Zhang Yingfang's impatience. He knows that this is the best time to strike while the iron is hot, and it is easiest to make impulsive decisions when the other party is dizzy.

"We've already had a rest just now, so we don't need to rest anymore." Mustache rejected Zhang Yingfang's suggestion, "And we've made this matter very clear, you can accept it or not, but you must do it now make a decision."

The more urgent the other party urged, the less Zhang Yingfang wanted to accept the other party's conditions.

While another German was on the phone, she quickly walked out of the conference room.Zhang Quanfu also came out after her, and the two went straight to the tea room.

Zhang Quanfu looked at his daughter suspiciously: "Fang'er, why don't you want to accept their conditions? Isn't this the purpose of my coming to Germany this time? Can you tell me what you are worried about?"

"Dad, can't you see? The Germans don't want to invest at all, they just want to take advantage. The Japanese will at least pretend to provide technical support when they talk to us, but they Germans don't even hide it. , does not provide a market, so why do I want their money? That poor money is still a loan, and it has to be repaid with interest.”

Zhang Quanfu looked at Zhang Yingfang kindly: "You forgot that when you first talked with the Japanese, their conditions were very harsh, but why did you accept them all at that time?"

"At that time, if I didn't accept Fujino's conditions, our company would be finished. But it's different now. Even without the money from the Germans, we can still live well, it's just that we move slower."

"But I heard that Uncle Wen and Uncle Xi have also come to Germany to expand their market. The Germans just said that if we don't want their money, the money will be invested in our competitors. Have you thought about that?"

"If this is the case, then I wish Uncle Wen and the others all the best." Zhang Yingfang looked at Zhang Quanfu with blazing eyes, "Do you believe me?"

Zhang Quanfu understood Zhang Yingfang's temper, he didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

Mustache looked very surprised at Zhang Yingfang's polite refusal, he didn't understand why Zhang Yingfang didn't want his money.

"It's ridiculous!" Mustache shook his head and walked out of the company with his entourage.

Before they reached the elevator, a tall, thin man with brown curly hair and glasses suddenly jumped out from the corner of the corridor, and directly put the microphone in front of the mustache: "Hello, I'm Antony , a reporter from the "Frankfurt Entertainment Zeitung". Can I interview you now?"

Reporter Antoni was followed by a person carrying a camera, and the huge camera lens started shooting at Zhang Yingfang and Mustache.

Startled, Mustache hurriedly covered his face, then turned his head and gave Zhang Yingfang a dissatisfied look, then turned around and walked quickly towards the other direction of the corridor.

Zhang Yingfang had never experienced this kind of thing before, and her reaction was delayed by half a beat, and she was immediately sandwiched between Antoni and the photographer.

Anthony handed the microphone in front of Zhang Yingfang: "Hello, are you Ms. Zhang Yingfang?"

When Zhang Yingfang heard the other party call her name directly, she asked in English in surprise, "How do you know my name? What do you do?"

"I'm a reporter from the Frankfurter Amusement Zeitung. I just received a clue that your company has seriously breached the contract and caused heavy economic losses to another company. Is this true?"

Zhang Yingfang asked urgently: "Who said this? Let me ask you, who said this?"

"Can you answer my question first? Or are you acquiescing?"

"No comment." Zhang Yingfang turned and walked towards the company.Antoni stepped aside and followed her: "Excuse me, how many times has your company breached the contract? Do you often breach the contract? There are rumors that you have deliberate fraudulent business practices before. What do you want to respond to this?" ?"

"Go away." Zhang Yingfang swears furiously, but she hasn't completely lost her mind. She cursed this sentence in the dialect of her hometown.

"Excuse me, what did you just say? Can you say it again in English or German? Or you can say it again to the camera, and we can find an interpreter to understand you."
