"Yes, it's Daimler!" Jin Xiuzhu added.

"Guoyang, Daimler Company can arrange this time that their president, Thomas Ryan, personally participated in the share transfer of 'Skoda Automobile Company'."

"If you want the acquisition to be successful, they are an opponent that cannot be ignored..."

Listening to the young lady's warning, Zhao Guoyang nodded silently.

Indeed, anyone must be cautious, cautious and cautious when facing such a behemoth like Daimler.

Daimler, the world-renowned company, is one of the oldest automobile manufacturers in the world and a manufacturer with consistent business style.

Since the epoch-making shareholder meeting in 1926, Daimler has no longer pursued the expansion of automobile production, but only pursued the production of high-quality and high-performance high-level automobile products.

Among the top ten automotive companies in the world, Daimler produces the smallest production, less than 1 million vehicles, but its profits and sales rank in the top five.

At this stage, the most important subsidiary of Daimler, Mercedes-Benz, has a lowest-level car price of more than US$15,000, and most of the intermediate models are around US$40,000.

As for luxury cars, it has exceeded US$100,000.

Just like the "Hutou Ben" purchased by Zhao Guoyang entrusted Bai Rou to buy, it is an S-class super luxury sedan numbered W140.

In the early 1990s, Mercedes-Benz had not yet confirmed the name of the "S" series. The W140 that Zhao Guoyang asked Bai Rou to buy was actually the predecessor of the S320.

However, this car has not been changed to its name in this era.

In addition to its heavyweight subsidiary Mercedes-Benz, several other brands under Daimler have also performed well in the market.

The load-loading, special-purpose vehicles and large passenger cars under "Daimler" have a wide variety of load-loading vehicles. There are more than 110 basic models.

At the same time, Daimler is also the world's largest heavy-duty vehicle manufacturer. Its all-wheel drive 3850AS truck has a maximum power of 368 kilowatts and a tow capacity of 220 tons.

Especially in the 1980s, Daimler Company launched a new 6.5-ton to 11-ton truck in the European and American markets, using air brakes, servo steering gear, and electronic anti-braking locking devices, which shocked the world's major truck companies.

It is no exaggeration to say that although "Volkswagen" has the largest sales volume worldwide, its brand value is still one level worse than "Daimler".

Now, a powerful person in an industry like "Daimler" has suddenly become interested in taking over "Skoda Automobile Company", which has made Zhao Guoyang feel some pressure.

"What's wrong, Guoyang. Do you think that 'Daimler' has also joined in? It's a bit incredible?" Seeing Zhao Guoyang not speaking for a long time, Jin Xiuzhu asked curiously.

"No, it's not this problem!" Zhao Guoyang took a deep breath and said.

"In fact, it is not difficult to understand that 'Daimler' joining this 'war'."

Zhao Guoyang said calmly: "Miss Xiuzhu, you should know that 'Daimler' has always pursued a high-quality and high-reward strategy in the automotive industry."

"That is, they value the quality of the brand more than quantity. This is true whether it is 'Maybach' or 'Mercedes-Benz'."

"Although 'Skoda Automobile Company' focuses on the mid-to-low-end automobile market, it is second to none in terms of quality and reputation."

"Because of this, it is naturally not difficult to understand what is going on in the fun of 'Daimler'... "

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's intimate analysis, Jin Xiuzhu sighed.

In fact, Kim Soo-joo has always had a high business vision. She has long had an in-depth analysis of the shares sold by "Skoda Automobile Company" with her team.

However, when compared with Zhao Guoyang's analysis at this time, Jin Xiuzhu immediately felt how big the gap was.

Staring at the young man who frowned slightly in front of him, Kim Soo-joo's favorability for him improved a lot.

Zhao Guoyang didn't know what Jin Xiuzhu was thinking. His mind was running rapidly at this moment, analyzing the existing information.

In Zhao Guoyang's view, "Daimler Company" suddenly emerged this time. The idea of ​​"Skoda Automobile Company" should be to have the idea of ​​making this "brand".

According to his memory before his rebirth, "Daimler Company" should have established Smart Automobile Co., Ltd. in 1994, in a joint venture with Swiss watch group Svodge.

As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Daimler-Benz, Smart Automobile Co., Ltd. has been committed to opening up the small and medium-sized automobile market since its establishment.

In the following ten or twenty years, "Smart" achieved unexpected and brilliant achievements.

Together with BMW "Mini", it has almost become synonymous with small cars.

Thinking of this incident now, Zhao Guoyang almost made a conclusion: the aggressive "Daimler Company" must have wanted to test the small and medium-sized automobile market by acquiring "Skoda Automobile Company".

In other words, the "Diaimler Company" is really here, but it is not a playful nature.

After understanding this, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but sigh in secret, "It's so good that it's so hard to deal with it."

Originally, if I and Kim Soo-joo could cooperate closely, they would have a great chance of winning.

But now there is a stronger competitor like "Daimler", and Zhao Guoyang knows that his plan will change.

"Guoyang, what are you thinking? Is it because after joining the 'Daimler Company', your chances in China are relatively slim?" Jin Xiuzhu asked with some concern.

Zhao Guoyang, who was awakened, looked up at Jin Xiuzhu, shook his head slowly and said, "Miss Xiuzhu, the addition of 'Damler Company' has certainly had a significant impact on us. But if the opportunity is slim, it may not be possible!"

Jin Xiuzhu knew that Zhao Guoyang never lies, and after hearing his firm tone, she suddenly felt energetic.

"Guoyang, so you are ready to compete with 'Daimler' and 'Volkswagen', that must be very interesting!"

Listening to the young lady's teasing, Zhao Guoyang sighed helplessly and said, "Miss Xiuzhu, we have agreed before we came to Prague?"

"You are not here to watch the fun, you are going to help me as a partner!"

Kim Soo-joo said a little embarrassedly, "Guoyang, I'm sorry, I'm excited for a moment and forgot about this."

"But, although our Daewoo Group is not bad, there is still some gap compared to the "Volkswagen Group" and the "Daimler Group".

"Even if we go on our own, we may not be the opponents of the two giants. If we help you from the side, how likely will we win?"

After Jin Xiuzhu asked this question, Zhao Guoyang said "ah": "Miss Xiuzhu, what's wrong with people."

"Since our opponent is so strong, we can't take the ordinary path and have to use strange tricks."

Looking at Jin Xiuzhu who was very interested, Zhao Guoyang paused for a few seconds before he started to speak: "Miss Xiuzhu, Skoda Automobile Company, will invite colleagues who come to participate in the competition in three days, right?"

Kim Soo-joo said "yes", saying with certainty: "Yes, this matter has been confirmed."

"Now our people from Daewoo Group and the vice president of Volkswagen Group, Boer and his team are staying in the hotel of Skoda Automobile Company. Everyone is waiting for the visit in three days."

"As for Thomas Ryan, the president of Daimler, he lives in a five-star hotel and doesn't want to be with our "small companies"!"

Listening to the indignation in Jin Xiuzhu's tone, Zhao Guoyang felt secretly amused.

In fact, Kim Soo-joo is afraid that she has really misunderstood President Thomas Ryan in this matter.

The management of "Daimler Company" has always been very strict, and its management personnel have a strict hierarchy system for accommodation.

A big shot like Thomas Ryan can only stay in a five-star hotel according to the company's rules.

"Well, that is to say, we have three days to prepare. It should be almost enough..."

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's words in confusion, Jin Xiuzhu was a little confused.

She twisted her neck and held her cheek with one hand and wondered: "Guoyang, what can you prepare in three days?"

After Jin Xiuzhu asked this question, Zhao Guoyang grinned and said, "It's not me who prepared it alone, it's me who prepared it with you!"

"Ah?" Jin Xiuzhu was shocked by Zhao Guoyang's words and a look of shock on her face.

Zhao Guoyang stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, saying, "Miss Xiuzhu, you really have to help you in this matter!"

"I plan to meet with the people from the Volkswagen Group before Skoda Automobile Company invites everyone to visit..."

When Zhao Guoyang said this, Jin Xiuzhu immediately understood.

Needless to say, Zhao Guoyang meant to ask himself to help introduce one or two.

After all, I live in the same hotel with the people from the "Volkswagen Company", and I look up and see you.

As expected, Zhao Guoyang quickly explained his intentions.

He smiled and said, "Miss Xiuzhu, after you moved in the past two days, you should have met Boer, the vice president of the Volkswagen Group, right?"

Kim Soo-joo said "hum" and nodded indifferently and said, "Well, I met it once while having dinner in the hotel, and I exchanged a few greetings. What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just want to visit you tomorrow, and by the way, I'll have a 'accidental' with this Mr. Boer..."
