A local capitalist threatened to help the military industrial unit make money, which was not a trivial matter. While Gu Qinyuan stabilized Qin Hai, he quickly reported the news to the leader of 70x Institute. The leader was skeptical,
After a brief investigation, the results came back that made everyone break out in a cold sweat.
"1, 2, 3...how many zeros is this?" Director Xu Guoquan pointed at the numbers on the investigation report with his fingers. For a long time, he couldn't count how many zeros there were.
"There are nine zeros in total, which is 1 billion." Secretary Zhang Peng reported to Xu Guoquan in a formal manner.
"In other words, this Qin Hai has earned 1 billion yuan by producing and exporting thermal spray machines?" Xu Guoquan said in surprise. As the director of a scientific research institute, he couldn't even calculate the figures clearly.
I was shocked by this number just now, I couldn't believe my eyes.
Zhang Peng reminded in a low voice: "What we are talking about here is U.S. dollars... We don't have a detailed understanding of the specific figures. One billion U.S. dollars is an estimated figure, and it may actually be more than this."
"All this money belongs to Qin Hai himself?" Gu Qinyuan was also shocked by this number, and he carefully verified.
Zhang Pengdao: "We have learned that Qin Hai is the patent owner of thermal spray technology. After the thermal spray machine was put into production, he acquired Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory, specializing in the production of thermal spray machines, so all these incomes should belong to him personally
According to our guess, the production cost of the thermal spray machine is less than 10% of the sales price, which means that out of the US$1 billion, Qin Hai’s personal profit is more than US$900 million.”
"900 million U.S. dollars, equivalent to more than 3 billion yuan, this, this, this... this is several times more than our entire system's annual funding, right?" Xu Guoquan looked at Gu Qinyuan and said.
Gu Qinyuan nodded: "It should be. No wonder when he, Xiao Li, and Xiao Wu came from Anhe, he bought them plane tickets with his own money. I still felt embarrassed..."
"I'm sorry, a plane ticket is nothing to Qin Hai. Damn it, these local wealthy people can be so rich. Is this still socialism?" Xu Guoquan muttered dissatisfiedly.
stand up.
Gu Qinyuan said: "I think this Xiao Qin is quite good. No matter how much money he makes, he relies on his own skills, not speculation. In addition, he earned all the money from foreigners, not from foreigners.
From this point of view, he is much better than many wealthy people in making money for our country."
"That's true." Xu Guoquan began to calm down, "If this guy is so rich, why did he come to our 70x office?"
"He said he wanted to make some contribution to the national defense cause, and said it was the obligation of every citizen," Gu Qinyuan explained.
Xu Guoquan smiled and said: "Haha, if someone else said this, I wouldn't believe it. However, I really believe it when Qin Hai said this. Think about it, he is a billionaire, and he will definitely not want to take advantage of us.
What benefits did he get? He was able to buy a plane ticket all the way to come to us. It seems that he does have some consciousness."
Zhang Peng was coming up with ideas: "Director Xu, Chief Engineer Gu. Look, since Qin Hai is so rich and supports the military industry, can we ask him to sponsor us and help improve everyone's lives?"
That’s good too.”
"I can't say this kind of thing. It seems that the leaders in our institute are not good at soliciting sponsorship." Xu Guoquan said with some embarrassment. It was not that he had not thought about Zhang Peng's idea, but he was embarrassed when he thought about it.
It was really embarrassing for Xu Guoquan to ask others to donate money with a straight face.
Gu Qinyuan said: "It's definitely inappropriate to sponsor Qin Heila. I don't agree with this approach. However, he offered to help us make money, so I think we can give it a try. With his status, this kind of
You probably didn’t say it casually, did you?”
"What does he want to do?" Xu Guoquan asked.
Gu Qinyuan said: "He told me that he could cooperate with us to develop several cutting-edge products and make some money in the international market. He also said that there are some things that he is not suitable to do in his capacity, but our military industry system can do it.
It doesn’t matter.”
"A cutting-edge product?" Xu Guoquan frowned, "Can this cutting-edge product be developed if he wants to? How sure can he be?"
Gu Qinyuan said: "From what he said, it seems like he is sure of winning. However, he wants us to give him an authorization to develop these products and sell them in our name."
Xu Guoquan thought for a while and said: "This can be done. Judging from his experience in building a thermal spray machine, he should be a very capable person, and we should trust him. If he can help us build a thermal spray machine like
We don’t expect to earn US$1 billion for a good product like a thermal spray machine. As long as we have one-tenth, no, as long as one percent, that’s US$10 million, which is enough for us to turn around.
."
"Then shall I inform him now?" Gu Qinyuan was happy and immediately wanted to find Qin Hai.
Xu Guoquan waved his hand and said: "This is just my personal opinion. It needs to be discussed collectively at the work meeting. In addition, we need to cooperate with local governments in production. This is not something we can decide on our own. We need to ask the National Defense Industry Office for instructions.
."
"Okay, I understand." Gu Qinyuan nodded and said.
When it comes to matters requiring instructions from superior departments, results cannot be obtained in three or two days. Qin Hai could not wait for the other party's reply at 70x. After he helped Gu Qinyuan and the others solve the technical problem of ferrite material spraying,
He said goodbye and left. He told Gu Qinyuan that he would contact him again after his superiors got a reply.
After leaving Tongjiang, Qin Hai did not return to Anhe, but went directly to Pujiang and came to Haijie Company.
"I heard that you went to Tongjiang. Do you have any big projects?" Xia Yangjie asked curiously when he saw Qin Hai.
"It's not a project, I just went to 70x to help them solve some thermal spray process problems," Qin Hai said.
Xia Yangjie smiled and said: "You, Mr. Qin, are actually asked to take action on such a process issue. Isn't this killing a chicken with a knife?"
Qin Haidao: "They are a military industry department, and they have some confidentiality requirements. It may not be suitable for others to go there. In addition, I also want to know about their research and see where I can help them."
Xia Yangjie said: "I heard that the military industry system has severely reduced funding. Many projects have been put on hold."
"This is exactly why I came to you." Qin Hai said.
"Why are you looking for me?" Xia Yangjie was a little confused, "What does I have to do with the military industry?"
Qin Haidao: "I went to 70x and saw the same situation as you said. The state's funding has been greatly reduced, and now they can hardly even provide living security, let alone conduct research. A large group of the country's top experts,
I can only do some theoretical research all day long. Without the money for experiments, it is really a waste."
"I said, you don't want to poach them, do you?" Xia Yangjie smiled, "Are you secretly communicating there again, trying to recruit people to the School of Materials Science and Technology?"
Qin Hai shook his head repeatedly: "How could I have the guts to destroy the Great Steel Wall? That would be a serious crime. I just want to help them. I told them that if they agree, I can work with them to create a few products.
Go to the international market to make some money."
"You are so compassionate, how can the military still give you this little money?" Xia Yangjie joked.
Qin Haidao: "I have understood that they now rely on their subordinate factories to produce some civilian products to subsidize funds. But the civilian products they produce are really terrible. They have no technical content and are ugly in appearance.
It would be weird if they sell. I plan to design a few good products for them, and they must be able to enter the international market."
"So, are you really going to do business with the military?" Xia Yangjie began to ask seriously, "Xiao Qin, will this have any impact on us?"
Qin Haidao: "I have thought about it. Cooperating with the military can only benefit us, and there is no harm. We are a private enterprise. Once the scale grows, we will inevitably be remembered. Just like the small government office in Beixi in the past.
The special steel factory has the same idea. If we want to protect ourselves, it is best to find a backer. Anhe Province can be regarded as one of my backers. Director Yang of the Machinery Committee and Minister Cui of the Ministry of Agriculture will also help us. However, if they can
By relying on the military, we will be more confident."
"That's true." Xia Yangjie nodded. In the early 1990s, the country's policies were in a period of swing. The attitude towards the private economy was very aggressive and even showed some signs of tightening the policy. Many private entrepreneurs were trembling with fear.
, for fear that any change in policy would endanger their property and personal safety. Qin Hai establishing a relationship with the military in this way is also a means of self-protection.
"You haven't said yet why this matter is related to me." Xia Yangjie remembered the previous topic and asked Qin Hai.
Qin Haidao: "I have thought of a good product that is suitable for cooperation with the military. However, there are some technical problems that may need you to solve."
"What product?" Xia Yangjie perked up. He knew that the products Qin Hai could think of were often very interesting and worthy of his energy to study.
Qin Haidao: "Lao Xia, you are an expert in fiber. Have you studied ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber?"
"It goes without saying." Xia Yangjie said proudly, "Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber is one of the three hot spots in the international fiber industry today. How can I not pay attention to it? Why, is this the product you are talking about?"
"Exactly, as far as I know, the industrial production of this fiber is still a problem so far. If we can solve this problem first, we can occupy a leading position. Can you imagine its market value?
"Qin Hai said. (To be continued...)
ps: These chapters are difficult to write, and some technical concepts are very troublesome to look up, so I can’t write them quickly.
In addition, I want to explain that some of the black technologies developed by the protagonist may not be consistent with reality, because when it comes to cutting-edge fields, Chengzi dare not say which technology is truly advanced. Everyone can just read the novel as a novel. Qian Zi
Never apply for the Natural Science Foundation based on the conclusions in the novel...
I asked for monthly votes today when I opened the book. The students were very helpful. They cast more than 400 votes in one day. This book has successfully entered the top six in the city. If it can maintain this position, Chengzi will be able to get 1,000 yuan.
Bonus. However, the enemy will not be willing to fail. Tomorrow's monthly ticket battle will be even more brutal. I implore everyone to continue to provide firepower support.
