Material Empire

The next day was the closing ceremony of the expo, and the award ceremony of the basic parts competition was also held at the same time. The Chinese delegation won all the first prizes in this competition, breaking the biggest upset since the Expo was held. Brownlee specially invited a senior technical consultant from the FAO to give a speech at the award ceremony. The core of the speech was to predict that thermal spraying technology will bring about a revolution in the production process of basic parts of agricultural machinery. focus on.

Cui Hongchun accepted the award on behalf of the Chinese delegation. Holding six or seven medals in his hands and smiling brightly like a chrysanthemum, he soon appeared in major media around the world.

After the expo, the Chinese delegation arranged a day for all members to go shopping. Qin Hai imitated what Chen Hongcheng had done back then, and exchanged some foreign currency for the ministries and business leaders in the regiment, so that they could freely buy the foreign electrical appliances and other commodities they fancy. As for himself, he accompanied Tranquility and Qin Shan and became a flower protector, tour guide, translator, porter and cashier...

"This dress is so beautiful... Is it too expensive?"

"Buy it, buy it, it's only $45, what's the price?"

"I want to eat ice cream..."

"Take the money to buy it. You two have one, and I don't need it."

"Brother, these shoes are good..."

"No way, sister, do you like such old-fashioned shoes?"

"I mean buy it for Mom!"

"Buy, buy, buy. Xiao Jing, do you want to buy a pair and go back to honor your mother?"

"Why do I sound like a curse?"

"Uh...I mean, show respect to Aunt Song."

"Hee hee, you've been fooled. If you say you are filial to Aunt Song, then you paid for it. I don't care."

"..."

Going shopping with girls is a nightmare for all boys. Although the two girls, Tranquility and Qin Shan, have just graduated from high school, they also have shopping habits common to girls. Qin Shan knew that her brother was a rich man, while Tranquility knew that her brother Ning Mo was getting a lot of dividends every year, and she didn't have any thoughts of frugality in her subconscious mind.

It's the first time for both of them to go abroad, and they are rare to see everything abroad, and they have parents, mothers, brothers and sisters at home, and they are thinking about bringing some small gifts to their good friends in high school. After coming and going, Qin Hai's hands were full of shopping bags. In the end, he was overwhelmed and simply bought two huge suitcases in a luggage shop, stuffed all the things the two girls had bought into them, and then packed them in by himself. Pushing two boxes followed behind.

"You're crazy, why buy such a big box?" Qin Shan complained softly.

"Hey, aren't you two going to college soon? This is a gift from my brother, one for each of you, take it to school." Qin Hai said proudly.

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Hearing the words, Tranquility ran over and looked up and down the two boxes, looked at them for a while, then nodded and said: "Well, your aesthetic vision is not bad, my sister expressed satisfaction."

This time going abroad, everyone in the group can be said to be satisfied and return with a full load.

Each participating company won an award and signed several orders. Some enterprises have never had export orders in the past, and this time they have achieved zero breakthrough.

Both Li Linguang and Yue Kun received the lifelong honorary professor certificate issued by the University of St. Certificates, they can be proud in the academic circles of Ann River Institute of Technology and even the entire Ann River Province.

Cui Hongchun and Wang Changsong's achievements are naturally the honors they won at this exhibition. These honors will be included in the year-end summary of the Ministry of Agriculture in the future, and will become the most important stroke when ministers report to the central government. Wang Changsong presided over the preparation of the action plan for the agricultural machinery system to catch up with the international advanced level, and it has already achieved a proud result. This is also something that can be written about in the future.

The one who has gained the most is none other than Qin Hai. The concept of thermal spraying was an instant hit. The deposit of thermal spraying machines alone has received nearly 20 million US dollars, and the purchase intention has reached as high as 600 units, with sales of more than one billion US dollars. Although the sales of ceramic knives have not yet started, the publicity in the media has been spread out one after another. Compared with high-end industrial equipment such as thermal spraying machines, ceramic knives are more friendly, so in the publicity of various media, they have given more, Better layout. Qin Hai believes that it won't be long before overseas merchants will go to "China Linxi" to find Liu Shuo and the others to discuss order matters.

Tranquility and Qin Shan are the happiest girls. They went abroad for the first time, made countless limelights at exhibitions, and met many worlds. This is something they will cherish for a lifetime. On the last day of the exhibition, they received group photos from many journalists, as well as photos of internationally renowned scholars such as Ruttenberg and Varnham with them, which is also a valuable asset. As for Qin Hai bringing the clothes, stationery, candy, etc. they bought, it's not worth mentioning.

With heavy honors and luggage, the Chinese delegation transited through Madrid and finally returned to the capital. The Ministry of Agriculture held a grand welcome and commendation ceremony in the auditorium of the Ministry. Most of the ministers attended in person to present all the participating representatives. Tranquility and Qin Shan were also commended as exhibition narrators and translators. In fact, the reason why Cui Hongchun reported their names was to make the whole commendation meeting more active. The result was just as Cui Hongchun expected. When the minister shook hands with the two girls and presented the awards, the applause in the auditorium was the loudest.

After finally completing all these procedures, Zhu Detai found Qin Hai and strongly invited him to take the two girls to the North Agricultural Machinery Factory as a guest. Qin Hai politely refused, and returned to Anhe by train with Li Linguang, Leng Yuming and others.

As soon as the group arrived in Pingyuan, Tranquility and Qin Shan received good news. While they were abroad, their university admission notices had already been mailed to the school, and the two girls got their wish. Tranquility was admitted to the Department of Physics of Capital University, and Qin Shan was admitted to the Department of Chemical Engineering of Huaqing University. These two majors were chosen by themselves. Speaking of which, they are somewhat related to Qin Hai's usual indoctrination.

How the two girls received all kinds of congratulations, and how they distributed the gifts they brought back from abroad to relatives and friends, need not be elaborated. In the days before school started, both of them were in a state of extreme excitement and fatigue, and Qin Hai didn't bother to interfere with them.

What Qin Hai is most anxious about now is to implement the production of thermal spraying machines. The business worth more than a billion dollars now rests on his shoulders alone. This is also a bizarre thing that makes people speechless. Then again, who told him that these businesses were earned by cheating devices? If there was no cheating by the traveler, how could he create such a large market out of thin air?

"The current situation is like this, old factory manager, I told you the truth, whether to kill or cut, you have the final say."

Qin Hai smiled happily in the living room of Ning Zhongying's house, and reported to Ning Zhongying about the thermal sprayer from beginning to end. Of course, with regard to the idea of ​​this device, he can only infer that he had a big brain and got it by accident, and things like time travel cannot be revealed casually.

"You mean, you have already received 20 million in advance payment alone, which is equivalent to more than 200 units?" Ning Zhongying asked incredulously.

"Yes. Even if you don't count those who just registered their intentions, there are more than 200 units that have actually paid a deposit, which is equivalent to a business volume of nearly 500 million US dollars." Qin Hai replied.

"So, how much does it cost to manufacture these more than 200 devices?" Ning Zhongying asked again.

"No more than 100 million." Qin Hai said. Li Linguang and the others must be clear about the cost and profit. Ning Zhongying assisted them in organizing the production of thermal spraying machines, so Qin Hai didn't need to hide it. In this world, there are not too many people he can trust, and Ning Zhongying is one of them. It would be very difficult to do this well without Ning Zhongying's guidance, so Qin Hai decided to explain everything to Ning Zhongying.

"U.S. dollars?" Ning Zhongying asked again.

Qin Hai smiled triumphantly: "RMB."

"Hey..." Ning Zhongying showed a look of astonishment on his face, "Xiao Qin, you are doing more than stealing money. The cost of a business of 500 million US dollars is less than 100 million yuan... Also, the money It’s not all your own money, is it?”

"Basically...it's my personal income." Qin Hai confessed frankly.

The development of this technology is Qin Hai's idea and funding, and it is implemented by Li Linguang and Yue Kun, and the final result belongs to Qin Hai. Qin Hai had previously joked that he would give Li Linguang 20% ​​of the income, but after seeing the income of thermal spraying machines as high as hundreds of millions of dollars, Li Linguang firmly denied that he had ever agreed to this condition. In his opinion, as long as Qin Hai is willing to support his and Lao Yue's scientific research with 18 million out of the profits, he will be satisfied. He is a scholar, so why do he want so much dividends?

Except for Li Linguang and Yue Kun, other people contributed even less to this project, so naturally they are not qualified to share profits with Qin Hai. Calculated in this way, there is only one owner of this huge profit, and that is Qin Hai himself. However, considering Qin Hai's age and the huge amount of money, this matter is really unacceptable.

"You are young, and you have hundreds of millions of dollars in property. You plan to become a big capitalist!" Ning Zhongying cursed with a smile, even though he has enough experience in the world, he can't be calm about such things.

"Director Ning, it's still too early to talk about this. Can you give me an idea on how I should make these thermal spraying machines. I have received a deposit from others. If the product cannot be provided by then, then it will be a shame." It would be detrimental to the personality and national dignity, don't you think?" Qin Hai hurriedly interrupted and asked Ning Zhongying to turn his attention to production.
