Material Empire

In the next few days, neither Qin Hai nor Liang Rongjian was idle.

The contract with Downer Company has been signed, and there are many follow-up matters to be discussed between the two parties, including the fact that Downer Company will send audio experts to China to help Haijie Company further develop sound materials such as diaphragms. Although Qiao Zihe and Gao Linqi are both music enthusiasts, their understanding of the performance indicators of audio materials cannot reach the professional level after all. Downer Company sent professionals to jointly carry out research and development activities with Haijie Company, which is equivalent to a strong alliance, which is of great benefit to both parties.

Qin Hai completely handed over these negotiations to Ning Mo and Yu Haitao. Xu Xiaoqi brought her girlfriends Zhang Weilin and Zhao Feiran to serve as their English translators. Qin Hai offered them a high salary of 100 US dollars per person per day. Knowing that Qin Hai has a lot of money, the girls readily accepted it. As for whether any sparks sparked during the cooperation between the girls and Ning Mo and Yu Haitao, this is beyond Qin Hai's control.

A breakthrough has also been achieved in collaboration between Qilin and the U.S. Army Materiel Command. McCartney arranged for his staff to conduct various tests on the body armor provided by Qilin Company, and confirmed that the body armor's bulletproof and stab resistance performances are much higher than those of the body armor made of Kevlar, and its weight can It is more than 20% lighter than the latter, which is very suitable as the choice of the new generation of body armor for the US military.

McCartney arranged for Culver, the financial specialist, to have a secret meeting with Liang Rongjian and Xiao Weihao, and finally raised the supply price from Qilin's original $520 to $620. Of course, the increase in price was not without reason. Culver proposed several improvements to the body armor, and suggested that Qilin Company hand over the style design of the body armor to an American technical consulting company.

In Liang Rongjian's view, Culver's improvement request will not increase the cost of body armor, but it is a bit of a lion to ask this American technical consulting company to be responsible for the style design of body armor, but it has to pay a design fee of up to 7 million US dollars. I mean to speak.

When they first heard this strange request, Liang Rongjian and Xiao Weihao were taken aback. While waiting to question, they saw Culver showing them a secretive smile. With a thought, the two immediately understood the whole story.

"Lyle Consulting is a long-term partner of the Army Material Command. They understand our technical requirements very well. If your body armor can use the design they provide, we may be willing to purchase 100,000 sets." Culver told the two The Chinese have seen the bottom line.

The price of each body armor is increased by US$100, and 100,000 sets are equivalent to an increase of US$10 million. In fact, Liang Rongjian was mentally prepared for the American side to bargain in advance. Instead of bargaining, the United States automatically raised the price. Once it entered and exited, Qilin received more than 10 million more money. Among the extra profits of more than 10 million yuan, handing over 7 million yuan to the mysterious Lyle Consulting Company will bring no loss to Qilin Company. Why not do such a thing?

As for the relationship between Lyle Consulting Company and Culver and even McCartney, Liang Rongjian and Xiao Weihao can figure it out even if they think on their heels. Isn't this the legendary transfer of benefits?

"This is only our first batch of orders." Culver told the two seriously, "We may continue to increase orders in the next step, of course, this can only be done after receiving feedback from the army on the first batch of body armor decision."

Xiao Weihao smiled and said: "We can fully understand this. Please rest assured, Mr. Culver, if the military has any comments on the first batch of body armor we provided, we will hire Lyle to make subsequent improvements to the body armor based on these opinions. "

"I really believe in your responsible spirit for product quality." Culver replied understandingly.

After signing the first batch of body armor and helmet supply contracts with the Army Equipment Command, Liang Rongjian and Xiao Weihao walked out of each other's office buildings. Liang Rongjian looked around and said to Xiao Weihao with emotion, "Old Xiao, I really didn't expect that Americans would engage in such crooked ways."

Xiao Weihao said disdainfully: "This kind of thing is not surprising. What they do is based on the rules. As long as there is nothing wrong with the rules, all kinds of private transactions will not be held accountable. Using this kind of consulting company to launder money, in the It is not uncommon in Western countries, and this kind of consulting companies often undertake various political lobbying tasks for stakeholders, and their relationship with officials is very close, which is basically an open secret.”

"Haha, this kind of thing has nothing to do with us. Good guy, there are 100,000 sets of bulletproof equipment, bulletproof vests and helmets, with a total contract value of 84 million U.S. dollars. Even if we pay 10 million U.S. dollars in consulting fees, our The net income is also 74 million...that's nearly 400 million RMB, our 70X institute is really rich!" Liang Rongjian couldn't hold back his inner joy, if he wasn't afraid of bad influence, he would have wanted to sing a song on the street.

This joy has not yet passed, and Schlosser brought them another good news. Through Schlosser's efforts, the U.S. Department of Justice also placed an order with Qilin for 50,000 sets of body armor, and another private military equipment seller also placed an order for 80,000 sets. These orders have their own specifications, styles and other requirements, but this is not difficult for Qilin Company. As for the benefits that various stakeholders want to obtain from these orders, Liang Rongjian also gave satisfaction after consulting the country.

Of course, as an intermediary, Schlosser also raised millions of dollars in so-called "lawyer's fees", which made Liang Rongjian and others deeply realize the ability of American lawyers to make money.

At the same time, with the efforts of Tian Ruzhi, the "Daqin Study Abroad Loan Foundation" was officially registered and established in the United States. Tian Ruzhi served as the director of the foundation's office and was in charge of the foundation's work. Several other international students took on legal and publicity work. In view of the large scale of funds managed by the foundation, Qin Hai specially asked Chen Hongcheng, who is in charge of overseas affairs, to transfer a financial director from the group's overseas company to be in charge of financial work for the sake of insurance.

As Qin Hai expected, as soon as the news of the establishment of the loan fund for studying abroad spread, the entire group of students studying in the United States became excited. Many international students who are struggling on the edge of poverty have sent letters to inquire about loan matters, hoping to get help from the foundation. Even those foreign students who are financially well-off because of scholarships give high marks to this fund. People who are away from home have the deepest experience of the coldness of the world. In this foreign land with no relatives and no reason, there are people who are willing to give real money to help students like them. This friendship is worth remembering for life.

There are many foundations in American society, but the foundation established by a Chinese company to provide financial aid to Chinese students is the first in history, and there will be no second foundation for a long time in the future indivual. This incident caused a sensation among students studying in the United States, and naturally it also alarmed the Chinese embassy in the United States. For this matter, the embassy in the United States specially invited Qin Hai and his party, and the ambassador appeared in person, solemnly expressed his thanks to Qin Hai and others, and claimed that he would report the matter to the country and invite relevant domestic officials The department commended this act of kindness.

This trip to the United States can be described as fruitful. When Qin Hai and others were about to take a plane back to Pujiang via New York, Xu Xiaoqi, Tian Ruzhi and others made a special trip to the airport to see them off. The embassy also sent a counselor and several secretaries. People on the American side do not have the habit of seeing them off, but they all presented various gifts to the members of the Chinese delegation in advance to show the joy of cooperation.

The plane landed at Pujiang Airport, and a group of people walked out of the terminal. Liang Rongjian, Xiao Weihao and others shook hands with Qin Hai and others outside the terminal to say goodbye. Qin Hai and the others had their own company in Pujiang, so they would definitely stay there for a few days, while Liang Rongjian and the others were eager to return and rushed back to Tongjiang Province to report the news.

This time Liang Rongjian received US military and civilian orders totaling as much as 150 million US dollars. Not to mention the final profit, it is already a brilliant achievement to have such a large-scale export to earn foreign exchange. After Liang Rongjian returned to the 70X Institute, there was no suspense about receiving awards and promotions.

"Boss Qin, thank you very much this time. You saved our 70X Institute. You can even say that you saved our entire military industry system." Liang Rongjian held Qin Hai's hand tightly and said sincerely.

With nearly 800 million yuan of business, the 70X institute alone will definitely not be able to sustain it. The Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense will definitely reach out and take some of the business to relieve other economically difficult institutes. Liang Rongjian was fully prepared for this, which is why he said that this business saved the entire military industry system. But in this way, the meaning of this matter will become even greater. Qin Hai will definitely be registered in the Science and Technology Commission, which means that the entire Science and Technology Commission owes him a huge favor. .

Of course, Qin Hai also hopes to see such a result, which can make the military owe him favors, which will be very beneficial to the survival of the Daqin Group in the future. No relationship is as good as a real interest relationship. If such a large company wants to be invincible in the business world, it is absolutely impossible without various relationships.

"Director Liang is too polite. This is what we should do. After returning, Director Liang, please complete all production preparations as soon as possible. We will also start the production of ultra-polyethylene fibers immediately and guarantee to provide you with Sufficient raw materials." Qin Hai said.

Liang Rongjian said: "Okay, I will start making arrangements as soon as I go back. In addition, after Mr. Qin is busy with this period, he must go to Tongjiang once. Director Xu said that we will hold a celebration party for Mr. Qin. Mr. Qin wears red, colorful and big red flowers."

"Haha, then we can make a deal, I will definitely go." Qin Hai readily agreed.
