Chapter 529 Thomas's Apology
That night
Lu Feng had just finished washing up when his cell phone rang.
Looking at the unfamiliar number on it, he couldn't help but frown.
It's already past eleven o'clock at night. Who would call at this time?
However, in order not to miss any messages, he still chose to press the answer button.
"Hello, hello there."
"Hello, Mr. Lu, I'm Thomas, the global president of Mercedes-Benz. I'm sorry to bother you so late."
There was a burst of poor Chinese coming from the other end of the phone, which made Lu Feng stunned.
Global President of Mercedes-Benz?
This is a very famous figure in the entire Blue Star.
The market value of Mercedes-Benz, which he heads, has reached a staggering 6000 billion Chinese yuan.
Moreover, Mercedes-Benz has the Volkswagen Group as its backer, which is comparable to the Yafit Group.
As early as when Landwind and Mercedes-Benz first fought, in order to prevent the Volkswagen Group from being defeated, he asked Snake for help and asked him to help resist the Volkswagen Group.
I didn’t expect that the global president of Mercedes-Benz would come to me.
"Oh~ It's President Thomas. What's the matter with you looking for me so late at night?"
Although he knew that the other party had a very important status and background, Lu Feng had no intention of flattering him.
Not to mention that he already had a grudge against Mercedes-Benz, even if he didn't, he wouldn't flatter a foreigner.
"Mr. Lu, I'm here to apologize to you. I'm sorry for what the company did in China. I'm really sorry."
In a luxurious manor on the other side of the ocean, Thomas, who was about fifty years old, was wearing a neatly tailored suit and a bow tie tied meticulously at his collar.
He stood tall in front of the French window, and the night outside seemed to reflect his depth and majesty.
At this moment, although he was apologizing to Lu Feng with a sincere tone, his innate aura did not diminish in the slightest.
Even at this seemingly weak moment, the aura of a man who has held a high position for a long time still stood out from him like a towering mountain that could not be ignored.
Hearing Thomas' apology, Lu Feng's eyes flashed with disdain.
Now that you know how to apologize, why didn’t you do it before?
It's because of the two technologies he has.
"Mr. Thomas, you're too serious. Mercedes-Benz is a big company, so naturally you look down on a small company like us. There's no need to apologize. We can't afford it."
"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first. It's getting late and I want to go to bed."
Lu Feng said this indifferently and was about to hang up the phone.
As for Mercedes-Benz, because of Feng Ning's previous incident, he had no good impression of the entire Mercedes-Benz.
What's more, a big battle broke out between the two sides afterwards. The fact that he could hold back his anger and talk to Thomas for such a long time was enough to prove that he had good self-control.
If it were someone else, they would have started cursing a long time ago.
On the other end of the phone, Thomas felt a pang of anxiety when he heard Lu Feng's cold words. He quickly said more sincerely:
"Mr. Lu, please believe me. I really don't know anything about the China branch."
"I assure you that if I had known about this earlier, I would have stopped it immediately."
"As global president, I have a lot of responsibilities and it's impossible for me to control every move of every branch in detail."
Thomas' tone was full of anxiety and sincerity, but Lu Feng remained unmoved, and the disdain in his eyes became more and more obvious.
"President Thomas, what you said is quite interesting. Mercedes-Benz is so huge, who would dare disobey your orders? How could the people in the branch dare to act so recklessly without the tacit approval from above? Who would believe you if you said you didn't know? Could it be that your power as president is just a decoration?"
Lu Feng sneered and continued, "Let's not talk about the feud between the Chinese branch and Fanli, just talk about the previous business war between Mercedes-Benz headquarters and Ferrari. Without your instructions, would the people below have the ability and courage to do this?"
"You're trying to completely shirk responsibility by saying you didn't know anything. You're really not taking others seriously."
Thomas was speechless for a moment. He knew that what Lu Feng said was true, but he couldn't give up.
He is a businessman. For businessmen, as long as it can bring them benefits, anything is acceptable.
"Mr. Lu, I understand your anger and doubts. But please believe that I apologize sincerely. I will take concrete actions to make up for our mistakes. I hope you can give me a chance."
Thomas said sincerely.
But Lu Feng was not moved at all. This old guy really treated him like a three-year-old child.
Just as he thought he knew nothing, after the death of the president of China Mercedes-Benz, Nie Yun brought him a piece of news.
That is, the president of Mercedes-Benz in China has another identity, that is, Thomas's younger brother.
Although they are not biological brothers, according to intelligence, the relationship between the two is very good.
This old guy is talking big now, but who knows, he might be thinking about how to kill him behind his back.
"Mr. Thomas, I've already told you, Mercedes-Benz is awesome. I can't accept your apology. So that's it."
Lu Feng hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
After hanging up the phone, he leaned back on the sofa with a sneer on his face.
Thomas' hypocrisy is simply disgusting. He clearly has all sorts of plans in mind, yet he pretends to be apologizing sincerely.
In a luxurious manor on the other side of the ocean, Thomas listened to the busy tone on the phone, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out.
He gripped his phone tightly, anger welling up in his heart.
Who is he? He is the global president of Mercedes-Benz, with hundreds of thousands of employees under him, and is a well-known figure in the entire Blue Star.
Now, a young man hung up the phone mercilessly. How could he put his face aside?
Thomas stood in front of the French window, silent for a long time, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.
After a long while, the tension gradually subsided, replaced by a deep sense of helplessness.
Thomas knew that although he was in a high position and had great power at the moment, he was in trouble regarding Lu Feng's matter.
The two technologies in Landwind's hands are crucial to Mercedes-Benz, and they are the key to the company's future development.
If Mercedes-Benz cannot obtain the support of these two technologies, it will definitely be surpassed by its peers in the future.
In the end, he could only sigh helplessly. Even though he was filled with anger, he had to suppress it at this moment.
As a shrewd businessman, he knew that acting on impulse would only make things worse.
Thomas slowly put down his phone, rubbed his temples, and tried to calm himself down.
After a moment, he took out another mobile phone, found the number and dialed it.
After the call was connected, he seemed to have regained his former dignity.
"Karl, no matter what method you use, I must obtain those two technologies..."
