However, Lifan Motors suddenly came out to disrupt the situation and caused us a lot of losses."

Yin Mingshan on the other end of the phone did not avoid the topic and said sincerely: "I am very sorry that our recklessness has caused a lot of trouble to Tesla.

Yawenba

But I declare that we really didn't do it unintentionally.

To express our apology, Lifan is willing to order a Tesla Founder Series.

Although this amount of money is far from enough to offset Tesla's losses, this is our way of expressing our apology, and we hope Tesla can be considerate."

Tarpenning frowned and spent a long time buying a car as compensation for Tesla?

Eberhard looked at Lin Fan, and it was the latter who proposed the friendly negotiation with Lifan, and it was the latter who arranged today's phone call.

As a result, if communication produces such a result, it would be better not to communicate.

Lin Fan made a gesture to signal the two of them to calm down, and he took over the initiative and started talking to Yin Mingshan.

"Mr. Yin, it's me, Lin Fan."

"Mr. Lin, please tell me."

"If Lifan and Tesla are going to compete, I have a suggestion. We can join forces and contribute a wonderful competition to the audience."

Yin Mingshan was puzzled. The reason why he stayed up until late at night to make an overseas phone call with Lin Fan was because he wanted to communicate with Tesla's management and important shareholders to resolve some misunderstandings.

Lin Fan proposed "cooperation" at this moment, which made him a little confused.

"I heard that Lifan Group has acquired several domestic football clubs. You should be familiar with the rules of football, right?"

Yin Mingshan frowned, what does this mean? Let yourself play match-fixing, or call it match-fixing?

The old man was very cautious and began to pretend: "Mr. Lin, do you mean that each side will send eleven cars to compete?"

This answer is absolutely amazing!

Lin Fan knew that dealing with such old people required patience, because these people would not reveal their true thoughts easily.

"If Tesla refuses to compete with Lifan Motors, Lifan will not gain any advertising effect."

Yin Mingshan thought for a moment and realized that what Lin Fan said was not entirely correct. Lifan had already gained popularity. Even if Tesla did not compete with Lifan in the end, no one would blame Lifan. It was just that the advertising effect was not maximized.

The old man did not express his views easily and continued to listen patiently to Lin Fan's speech.

“And if we both cooperate, we can make this competition a beautiful one and build momentum.

Lifan Motorcycles has been based in the Chinese market for many years and has already become a famous Chinese brand.

But Lifan Motors has no reputation at all.

Tesla, like you, has no reputation in the industry.

We two unknowns want to attract as many people's attention as possible like two masters fighting each other, so publicity work is essential.

The publicity work for this game in the Chinese market can be left to Lifan, while the publicity work for the global market can be left to Tesla.

I have invested in a video website in China called Tudou. They can cooperate with Lifan to promote the Chinese market.

At the same time, Lifan also needs to seek support from some traditional media forces, such as TV stations, newspapers, magazines, etc.

Lifan, if it wants to become a brand that makes the nation proud, how can it do it without competing on the international track?

Through our survey of Chinese online public opinion, we found that many young people have become fans of Lifan."

Yin Mingshan chuckled, "What about Tesla? What specific work do you do?"

"The YouTube video website has nearly 100 million users worldwide, and the social networking sites Facebook and Twitter can also help promote it."

Lin Fan smiled and said: "Anyway, don't worry, Tesla will not spare any effort in publicity.

If we carry out division of labor and cooperation as I said, I believe that our two participating car companies will be able to increase their reputation a lot."

Yin Mingshan thought over Lin Fan's words over and over, and seemed unable to make any mistakes.

However, he firmly believes that Tesla is the biggest winner of this cooperation, because there is a high probability that Lifan will lose in the competition.

The audience will remember the winner, but who will remember the loser?

However, Lifan will lose. As long as it is packaged properly, it can still move closer to the first national automobile brand.

"Mr. Lin, what did you mean by football just now?"

Yin Mingshan never forgot this, so he quickly took it out and asked.

"We had a friendly match. Although Lifan lost, it was a glorious loss and a bloody battle!"

Yin Mingshan continued: "Please make it clear!"

Lin Fan briefly explained his plan, and Yin Mingshan frowned when he heard it.

He has heard before that foreign capitalists have no lower limits, and he learned a lesson today.

Eberhard and Tarpenning were also a little dumbfounded. How could they still play like this?

"I need to think about it!"

Yin Mingshan did not agree to the plan hastily, because the agreement was too straightforward and was not conducive to the subsequent bargaining.

"certainly!"

Lin Fan said with a relaxed look: "Just don't make us wait too long, because spring is not far away."

Yin Mingshan knew that the other party was reminding him because Lifan 520 would be launched in the spring.

The old man replied: "Don't worry, it won't delay the business."

"That's good!"

After saying a few more words, Lin Fan hung up the phone.

"Lin, it's you Easterners who are so cunning that you can come up with such wonderful tricks."

As soon as he hung up the phone, Eberhard smiled and gave Lin Fan a thumbs up.

"What did I come up with?"

Lin Fan glanced at the two of them, "This is what the three of us came up with, and the execution is up to you two."

Eberhard opened his mouth, wanting to refuse, but felt it was inappropriate, so he could only nod, expressing his willingness to take risks and share responsibilities together.

Tarpenning sighed: "There is no fair competition, it's all bullshit. This is a business, a complete business."
Chapter completed!
