Material Empire

Besides, Qin Hai and his party.

After leaving the Army Equipment Command, Qin Hai, Ning Mo, and Yu Haitao separated from Liang Rongjian and the others. The three military personnel returned directly to the hotel, while Qin Hai and the others drove to an office building in the suburbs of Washington.

Along the way, Ning Mo and Yu Haitao were extremely excited. In the past, they had only seen American soldiers in movies, but this time they saw something alive. Unlike those mighty images in American blockbusters, McCartney left the impression on them like an uncle next door. The two chattered and commented on the clothes, expressions, etc. of McCartney and others, and there were some disrespectful remarks during the period. Fortunately, the taxi driver could not understand Chinese, otherwise it would inevitably cause another diplomatic turmoil.

According to the address provided by Qin Hai, the taxi drove to an office building with more than 20 floors. At that time, there were not many office buildings of this height in China, and the interior decoration could not be compared with that in the United States. However, Ning Mo and Yu Haitao had gone abroad to negotiate business many times in the past two years, so it is not surprising that they are used to it. The three got out of the taxi, walked into the building door, and took the elevator to the 16th floor. An elegantly decorated company front desk appeared in front of them, with the words "Donner Music" written on the back panel.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Modikon here?" Qin Hai walked up to the reception lady and asked in English.

"He's here, do you have an appointment?" The receptionist asked Qin Hai with big blue eyes.

Qin Hai nodded and said: "There is an appointment, and he said that we can come to visit anytime. Please tell him that it is a Mr. Qin from China who is visiting."

The reception lady picked up the phone, dialed a number, said a few words to the inside, then put down the phone, smiled and said to Qin Hai and the others: "Gentlemen, please come with me."

Qin Hai and others followed the reception lady into the company, walked through the long office area, and came to an office separated by transparent glass. The receptionist knocked lightly on the door, and after getting permission, brought Qin Hai and others into the room.

"Mr. Modicon, Mr. Qin and the others are here." The reception lady said to the man sitting behind the desk with a huge headset on his head.

In fact, as early as when the reception lady knocked on the door, Morticon already knew that the guest was coming, but he didn't take off the earphones on his head. It wasn't until the guest entered the door and the receptionist announced again that he pretended to wake up from a dream, took off the earphones on his head and put them on the table, stretched out his hand and said, "Please sit down, everyone." He didn't even raise his ass when he was talking, showing a kind of contempt.

There are several armchairs in the office for guests to sit on. Qin Hai and the three of them opened the chairs and sat down respectively. Modicon looked at the crowd and asked, "Which one is Mr. Qin?"

"I am." Qin Hai raised his hand to signal, "Mr. Qiao Zihe should have introduced our situation to you, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Joe is a great musician, and I have a deep relationship with him." Modicon said, like most Westerners, he did not hesitate to use various exaggerated adjectives, "Mr. Joe In the letter to me, you have developed a very good headset, let me help you identify it, did you send the headset?"

"Yes." Qin Hai replied, he gestured to Yu Haitao, Yu Haitao took the backpack beside him, took out a pair of earphones from it, and then hesitated whether to hand it to Qin Hai or directly to Modicon. Qin Hai pointed at Modicon with a smile, and said, "Just give it to Mr. Modicon."

"Mr. Modicon, this is the headset we produced. Please have a look." Yu Haitao stood up, put the headset on the desk in front of Modicon, and said to him. In the past two years, under Qin Hai's persecution, all of them have more or less learned a few words of English, and they can handle some simple conversations.

There were two earphones on the table at the same time, one was the earphone that Modicon was wearing just now, and the other was the earphone handed over by Yu Haitao. Not afraid of ignorance, just afraid of comparing goods, the earphones Qin Hai and the others brought are also carefully crafted, and they look quite high-end and elegant in isolation, but when compared next to Modicon's earphones, it looks like a pair of earphones. A chicken and a crane stand together, standing apart from each other. When Yu Haitao put down his earphones, he was inevitably a little ashamed.

"This earphone..." Mordicon pondered over his words, and finally couldn't find any euphemisms to comment on, so he simply stopped talking. He casually unplugged his earphone cable from the audio system beside him, plugged in Qin Hai's earphones, put the earphones on his head, and pressed the on/off button of the audio system.

Even though Qin Hai had full confidence in his earphones, at this moment, his heart couldn't help but lift up. During the sound audition in Pujiang, both Qiao Zihe and Gao Linqi spoke highly of the sound effect of this earphone, thinking that it surpassed the level of the world's first-class earphones today, but Qin Hai didn't know that the one in front of him was more authoritative and knowledgeable. And whether more audio experts will have the same opinion as Qiao Zihe and others.

After 5 seconds passed, Morticon frowned slightly;

In 10 seconds, Qin Hai read a hint of surprise on his face;

At 20 seconds, Modicon closed his eyes, and his expression became more and more focused, as if he was catching the clues hidden deep in the audio;

After a full 2 ​​minutes, Morticon opened his eyes suddenly, took off his earphones, and shouted to the outside of the glass room: "Winant, Winant, come to my office immediately!"

As an audio equipment company, the sound insulation effect of the office is very good. Under normal circumstances, if Modicon wanted to call someone outside, he should make a phone call, or open the office door to call. But obviously he was fascinated by the earphones brought by Qin Hai and the others just now, and he even forgot that his shouts could not be transmitted.

Yu Haitao was sitting by the door, and when he heard Modikon yelling like this, he quickly opened the door with sharp eyesight. All the people in the hall heard Mordicon's shout, and couldn't help turning their heads to look around. A man with long braids behind his head and a bit of an artist's temperament stood up and walked over in stride.

"Mr. Modicon, are you calling me?" The man asked standing outside the door, and at the same time looked at the three Chinese people in the room with curious eyes. He knew that it was these three Chinese people who appeared. It caused my boss to lose his composure.

"Winant, come and listen to this earphone." Morticon greeted.

Winant quickly walked to Modicon's side, took the earphone from Modicon, and put it on his head. As the company's chief audio appraiser, he is far more sensitive to audio equipment than Modicon. Just after listening to a sound, his eyebrows were raised, and he cast a surprised look at Modicon.

Morticon nodded calmly, and Winant had a tacit understanding, so he didn't say anything more, just closed his eyes and began to appreciate the music in the earphones. Qin Hai didn't care about the performance of these two people, he just sat calmly, with a calm expression on his face, waiting for the other party's final statement.

"This earphone uses a very special diaphragm."

Winant finally finished listening to a paragraph, took off his earphones, pondered for a moment, and expressed his judgment to Morticon. Laymen watch the fun, and experts watch the doorway. Winant is a professional audio player, and he knows the problem with this headset as soon as he hears it.

Compared with the earphones produced by Downer Company, the earphones brought by Qin Hai are lackluster in terms of structure, coils, etc., but they have an exciting timbre. According to Winant's estimation, this kind of headphones can express more than 50% of the original sound effect, while the best headphones they produce can only achieve about 30%. The reason for this difference is that Qin Hai's earphones use a very good diaphragm, and Winante is unwilling to directly say the word "excellent", so he calls it "special" in a very cryptic manner.

Knowing Winant's concerns, Modicon asked directly, "Do you think this diaphragm is better than the one we are using now?"

"Yes... I think the diaphragm they use is better than ours." Winant stopped hiding it. Since the boss asked this way, it meant that he didn't intend to go around in circles with the other party. Everyone is an expert, and you can tell whether it is good or not. Deliberately belittling the other party's products is not conducive to further negotiations.

"How did you do it?" Morticon turned his head to Qin Hai and asked.

Qin Hai smiled and said, "We have developed a new diaphragm material."

Qin Hai's words are basically nonsense. Modicon is in this business. How can he not know that this earphone uses a new type of diaphragm material. And since other audio equipment manufacturers have not announced similar diaphragm materials, Qin Hai naturally used the materials developed by himself.

Modicon was not angry at Qin Hai's nonsense. He didn't care about Qin Hai's answer at first, but simply asked, "How much do you plan to sell this technology for?"

Qin Hai laughed: "Mr. Modicon, we don't intend to sell this technology."

"Don't plan to sell this technology?" Morticon's face was not as good as before. Just now, his face was more or less arrogant, but now there is a trace of frustration. "If you're not going to sell this technology, why are you coming to us?" he asked.

"We want to provide you with this diaphragm material for your audio equipment." Qin Hai said.

"So that's how it is." Mordicon understood a little bit.

Qin Hai brought this pair of headphones, the diaphragm material is very good, but the other parts are terrible, which leads to a great reduction in the sound quality of the whole headphones. If Modicon wasn't an audio expert, he might even feel that Qin Hai's pair of earphones were not as good as their own.

The reason is nothing more than that Qin Hai can only solve the problem of diaphragm material, but cannot solve other problems of earphone manufacturing. He used his own diaphragm material and asked a headphone manufacturer in Pujiang to make this pair of headphones, which is equivalent to installing a set of Ferrari engines on a tractor. Connoisseurs can see the unusualness of the engine, but ordinary consumers will not buy it.
