After receiving instructions from Ji Mingchu, Qin Hai immediately contacted Fitters and Setzler and told them that he had communicated with the Chinese side. After his "difficult efforts", the military made an exception and agreed to export this kind of weapon to the United States.
It is a super filtration membrane of strategic significance. However, the military also hopes to receive some reciprocal treatment from the United States, such as relaxing the export of certain high-performance integrated circuit chips.
As analyzed internally by the military, the US military attaches great importance to the import of this super filtration membrane and regards it as a strategic technology that can greatly improve logistics supply capabilities. As for the Chinese side reported by Qin Hai
Neither Fettes nor Setzler were surprised by the request. In their view, it would be suspicious if China did not impose any restrictions on the export of this technology, or did not offer any quid pro quo.
A military attache from the Chinese Embassy in France hurried to Le Havre and held closed-door consultations with Fettes and Setzler for two hours. Qin Hai didn't know what kind of behind-the-scenes deal the two parties finally reached.
When they left the negotiation room, both parties had satisfied smiles on their faces, obviously achieving some win-win results.
"Comrade Qin Hai, thank you for your great contribution to the country. This time, we have gained a lot of unexpected gains." Before leaving, the attaché of the embassy held Qin Hai's hand tightly and said sincerely.
Qin Hai smiled and said: "You're welcome, this is what we should do. In fact, as our country's technological level continues to improve, we should also have this awareness of reciprocal exchange of interests with others."
The military attache nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, we are so lacking in this aspect. Chairman Qin taught us a vivid lesson."
It turns out that contrary to what the United States thought, China had not realized the benefits of exchanging technology for technology before. Of course, this was mainly because China had never had any technology that could attract the attention of the Americans.
, which led to China’s awareness of not using its technological advantages to threaten. In the eyes of many government officials, Americans are willing to buy Chinese products. That is a great thing that fell from the sky. If you don’t rush forward and kneel down to lick it, you are already being more reserved.
After such a good performance, who would think of taking the opportunity to make things difficult and make the other party make some concessions.
This time, if Qin Hai did not take the initiative to raise this issue, but directly sold the product, China would probably be just a little displeased and would not hold Qin Hai responsible. But Qin Hai had an idea and made up something
After using this as a condition for bargaining with the United States, he finally got something. The military attache who was assigned by the country to participate in the negotiations could not be overjoyed.
After seeing off the Chinese embassy attaché. When they went to see Fettes and Setzler again, they also had expressions of gratitude. Setzler put his arm around Qin Hai's shoulders and said, "Mr. Qin, thank you
For help, your country’s negotiators said that because your company is a big company, they have provided special convenience. They only asked the United States to cancel a few unimportant export restrictions and allowed you to export super filtration membranes to us.
.Before this, we were really worried that your country’s requirements were too high and we would not be able to meet them.”
"You have to know that I also made a lot of sacrifices before the military agreed to this condition. In order to export these filter membranes to you, our group will provide a large amount of sponsorship to the military. Sponsorship, do you understand?
?" Qin Hai pretended to be heartbroken and said to Setzler.
"This...I know a little bit about it." Setzler said. Then, he looked back at Fetus. Then he pulled Qin Hai a few steps aside and said in a low voice: "To show my respect for your company,
Thank you. We can make a little concession on the price, do you understand?"
At this point, he winked at Qin Hai desperately and almost took out his heart to show Qin Hai.
"Price?" Qin Hai was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the last time he went to the United States to sell bulletproof vests, and couldn't help laughing: "That's natural. The filter membranes we produce are all for civilian purposes.
To meet the requirements of your army, some necessary corrections must be made. By the way, Mr. Setzler, can you recommend an American consulting company to us to help us improve the filtration membrane technology."
When he went to sell body armor the previous time, officials from the U.S. Army Equipment Department required the Chinese side to find a consulting company in the United States as a service provider in the name of providing technical consultation in order to earn kickbacks. Setzler asked Qin
Hai made the above hint, naturally he also had the idea of taking some kickbacks in this purchase case. Anyway, kickbacks are a matter of wool before the sheep, and as long as it does not harm the interests of Qin Hai and China, Qin Hai is naturally happy to go along with the situation.
.
Hearing that Qin Hai was on the right track, Setzler was filled with joy. He called Fettes over, and together with Qin Hai, they discussed the price, quantity, and other behind-the-scenes transactions of purchasing filter membranes. The specific contract was signed.
There are still some procedures to go through, so Qin Hai naturally doesn't need to follow everything personally, he can just leave it to Chen Hongcheng of the overseas company to handle it.
The aftermath of the offshore oil spill will still take several months. Qin Hai left Xia Yangjie, Yu Lihong and others to accompany the French personnel at the scene to solve various technical problems at any time, while he left Le Havre.
, transferred to Paris and took a flight back to the capital.
"Has anything happened to the group in the past month or so?"
Sitting in the car picked up by the office, Qin Hai casually asked Su Yabo, the director of the office.
Su Yabo's regular report: "The ion implanter produced by Qingfeng Group passed the national appraisal last week and will be put into production soon; the welding work of the No. 1 and No. 2 ethylene spherical tanks of the Jintang Ethylene Project has been completed.
The pressure test is being carried out now, and what I just learned on the phone is that the test results are satisfactory..."
"Well, very good." Qin Hai nodded slightly. In fact, he had always kept in touch with the country when he was in France. He already knew most of the situations Su Yabo mentioned, and he just asked them again.
"There is another big thing, about Mr. Liu from Quwu. The matter is quite complicated. Do you think I should report it to you now, or wait until I return to the office to go into details?" Su Yabo said.
"Liu Shuo? What's wrong with him?" Qin Hai asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Last week, he was detained by the police station in Changgu City." Su Yabo said.
"What?" Qin Hai's eyes widened, "What did he do? And why didn't you notify me of such a big thing? How is he now? Is he still at the police station?"
"He has been released." Su Yabo quickly explained, "It was the group's legal department who communicated with the Changgu police and released Mr. Liu. I asked Mr. Ning for instructions, and he said that this matter was too big and he was afraid of you.
You're in a hurry and won't let me report to you."
"Well, I understand." Qin Hai responded. Since it was Ning Zhongying who ordered him to keep it a secret, Su Yabo can't be blamed for this matter. Ning Zhongying's idea is also right. Qin Hai is far away in France, even if he knows this
It was impossible to handle this matter personally, and it only increased worries. It seemed that the matter Liu Shuo committed was not too serious, and it was obvious that Ning Zhongying and the others could handle it on their own.
"You haven't told me why Liu Shuo was detained by the police station." Qin Hai said in a calmer tone.
Su Yabo said: "He hit someone, and the public security department determined that the injury was minor. Also, he himself was injured, but it was not serious."
"Hitting people?" Qin Hai asked in surprise, "How could he hit people? Also, how could he go to Changgu to hit people?"
Su Yabo smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Qin, you see, I originally planned to go back to the office and report to you slowly. This matter is a long story, and I don't know where to start.
"
"Tell me first, who did he hit?" Qin Hai asked bluntly.
"Wang Peichao." Su Yabo said.
"Wang Peichao?" The image of a fair-looking man appeared in Qin Hai's mind, "The deputy director of the production department of Quwu Ceramics Company?"
"Yes, that's him." Su Yabo replied.
The predecessor of Quwu Ceramics Company was the Brothers Ceramics Factory set up by Qin Hai in Quwu. At that time, 20 miners from Quwu Jianxing Coal Mine were partners. Liu Shuo was the eldest among them, and Wang Peichao was one of the shareholders.
.Since the Brother Ceramics Factory itself was established to accommodate these 20 miners' children, these people all held certain positions in the factory. After the Quwu Ceramics Company was later established, they also became members of the company's management.
After seven or eight years of development, Quwu Ceramics Company has now become a large-scale enterprise with an annual output value of nearly 1 billion yuan. It is also well-known in Linxi Province. It produces household ceramic knives and later developed industrial ceramic knives, which are sensitive to
Ceramics and other products are sold around the world, and Linxi is a well-known major foreign exchange earner and tax payer.
Qin Hai has inspected Quwu Ceramics Company many times and is very familiar with the company's management cadres. Naturally, he also knows the deputy director of the production department named Wang Peichao. In his impression, Wang Peichao is a very sensitive person.
To put it mildly, he seems to be more impetuous, which is very different from Liu Shuo, Huang Yanling and other shareholders. However, Qin Hai did not know much about this person and had never inquired about his specific situation. At this time, he heard that Liu Shuo, Huang Yanling and other shareholders
Shuo went to the police station because of a fight with him, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.
He knew that Liu Shuo was not a very impulsive person, and he was already in his early fifties and was no longer old enough to easily start a fight. Wang Peichao's father and Liu Shuo's father were both miners who died in the same mining accident.
They used to treat each other like brothers, but Liu Shuo beat Wang Peichao to a minor injury as soon as he took action. What will happen in this? (To be continued)
