Of course, what Varnum can think of, Qin Hai can also think of. The European and American markets are larger and have stronger purchasing power. If you want to launch new products, of course, the European and American markets are most suitable. But Qin Hai knows that Daqin Group is not strong enough.
, directly competing with large European and American manufacturers for the main market would be a bit inadequate, and it would also easily attract counterattacks from European and American manufacturers. In contrast, it is more sensible to first enter the third world market and take the road of surrounding the cities from the countryside.
The economy of South America is very unique. Among the three continents that are traditionally called "Asia, Africa and Latin America", South America, or Latin America including Central America, has the highest level of economic development and a certain amount of industry.
The manufacturing capacity and the purchasing power of residents’ consumption are also very strong. However, at the same time, affected by wrong economic development ideas, South America’s economic structure has become seriously deformed, and the industrial chain
Part of the country is developing very well, while the other part is underdeveloped. This has resulted in the South American economy being extremely dependent on Europe and the United States for a long time. It needs to import a large number of industrial products from Europe, North America and other places, including machinery and equipment, important industrial raw materials and
Some daily consumer goods. What Qin Hai wants to do is to take away the fat piece of South America from European and American manufacturers and put it on his own plate.
In addition to gaining access to this market, opening up South America is also helpful for entering Africa. South America and Africa are both in the southern hemisphere, and Spain, Portugal and other countries that colonized South America were also the first countries to colonize Africa. Because these countries
The reason is that there are many connections between the two continents in terms of economy, politics and culture. Making an impact on the South American market can indirectly have a radiating effect on the African continent, thereby preparing a stepping stone for entering the African market. This is also the reason why Qin
One of Hai Da's wishful thinking.
Naturally, it was inconvenient to express these thoughts to Rutenberg and Varnum. If they could realize it themselves, Qin Hai would not deny it. Facing Varnum's inquiry, Qin Hai just smiled slightly and said: "China
The level of economic development is relatively similar to that of South America. Some of the products we have developed are suitable for the Chinese market and are also suitable for the South American market. So we hope to make a difference in the South American market."
"So that's it." Both Rutenberg and Varnum were relieved. They were both engaged in technology, and their understanding of the market was far less than Qin Hai's, so their thoughts on the problem were not as profound as Qin Hai's. After hearing Qin Hai's explanation,
They just believed it.
"What new materials are you going to show?" Rutenberg asked. He had already planned to help Qin Hai facilitate this matter, and now he needed to implement the relevant details.
Qin Haidao: "Our group is engaged in a wide range of fields, including steel, rare earth materials, polymer materials, ceramics, glass, cement, functional materials, etc. It can meet the requirements of all walks of life."
"Will the yttrium-based rare earth permanent magnet materials and graphene you recently developed appear at this order meeting?" Varnum asked.
Qin Hai laughed: "Of course, this is our flagship product in recent times. Our group's investment in these two products is very considerable, and it must be recovered from the market as soon as possible."
"Several companies I'm familiar with are very interested in these two technologies and hope to cooperate with you on this product. What they mean is that they hope to have some more in-depth cooperation," Varnum said.
The so-called in-depth cooperation refers to joint development in order to share the profits in production. In contrast, it is simply purchasing raw materials. This is the main mode of cooperation between South American companies and European and North American companies. After the financial crisis
.South American governments and some far-sighted companies have recognized the risks brought by abnormal economic structures and hope to be more involved in the industrial chain and gain more initiative.
Qin Hai understands what Varnum means, and he does not refuse to develop together with South American companies. In his conception, South American companies are not competitors of Daqin Group, and can be treated as friendly forces. His original intention is also to hope that
We can use the power of South American companies to compete with European and North American companies. As for what happens after the two sides join forces to defeat European and American companies, it is not something that needs to be considered now.
Thinking of this, Qin Hai said readily: "Mr. Varnum, please rest assured, we also hope to enter into in-depth cooperation with South American companies. We can provide high-quality yttrium-based rare earth permanent magnet materials and graphene, and welcome South American companies."
Companies are using these materials to develop next-level products."
"This is great." Varnum said excitedly. The companies he mentioned all hired him as a senior consultant and paid him a large consulting fee every year. After hearing that he had the opportunity
After meeting Qin Hai, the chairman of several companies called him specifically, hoping that he could help connect their companies with Daqin Group and establish cooperation.
Relationship. Daqin Group has launched many good products in recent years, but the most eye-catching ones recently are yttrium-based permanent magnet materials and graphene. The advent of these two materials has brought about subversive changes in the design ideas of many products.
Change, now the entire industry is waiting for these two products, whoever can grab more shares will be able to take the lead in the market.
"I have two friends. Their companies are among the best in Brazil. They very much hope to cooperate with Mr. Qin. I wonder if Mr. Qin can spare some time to meet with them?" Varnum was a little pushy, and he also
He knew that making such a request was a bit abrupt, but the two companies were pressing hard, so he couldn't care less about being reserved.
"Mr. Varnum, it is very inappropriate for you to make such a request. Mr. Qin and Miss Ning came to Brazil for their honeymoon. You cannot disturb their sweet vacation with such things." Rutenberg showed an angry look.
He looked like he was scolding Varnum.
"Yes...I know..." Varnum was a little embarrassed and began to falter.
Rutenberg said sternly: "You see, I would not make such a request. In fact, I also have two friends who really want to meet Mr. Qin. They claim that their business can exceed US$500 million a year.
Cooperate with Mr. Qin’s company. But I will not make such inappropriate requests to Mr. Qin at this time.”
"Uh..." Qin Hai rolled his eyes. Damn, why don't you ask for more? As the chairman of a company, who can resist the temptation of getting more than 500 million US dollars a year? Aren't you just waiting?
Do you want me to jump into the pit by myself?
"Actually, my husband and I came to South America with the purpose of seeking cooperation. Honeymoon is only one of our purposes. So..." Jing Jing revealed softly from the side.
Qin Hai didn't expect Ning Jing to say this, because he had promised Jing Jing a long time ago that this trip was just to accompany her to play and enjoy their world together. Meeting Rutenberg and Varnum was already a bit of business.
If you go to meet the entrepreneurs they introduced, it will be a business activity through and through. From his true heart
Said, of course he hopes to talk to these entrepreneurs as soon as possible. After confirming the principled opinions, he can call the group's business personnel to follow up. He did not hastily agree to Varnum's invitation just now. In fact, he was concerned about it.
Jing Jing's feelings. He was still thinking about how to persuade Jing Jing tactfully, but he didn't expect Jing Jing to open an opening for him first.
With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for? Qin Hai cast a grateful look at Ning Jing with emotion, and received a half-angry, half-smiling eye roll from Ning Jing. Ning Jing knew Qin Hai too well, not to mention Qin Hai's
Her career is also her career. Not to mention that the Daqin Group also has her share. The superconducting research she has done is not made with the huge funds of the Daqin Group. She is not a hypocritical person in the first place.
This kind of thing puts Qin Hai in a difficult position.
"I have a very reasonable wife." Qin Hai smiled and said to Rutenberg and Varnum, "I think I can take a day to chat with the business friends introduced by you two, but I have
It’s a small condition, but I don’t know if it can be achieved.”
"If Mr. Qin has any conditions, just mention them, as long as we can do it..." Rutenberg and Varnum said in unison. When they heard that Qin Hai agreed to meet with those entrepreneurs, the two of them were already elated.
Even if Qin Hai's condition is to ask for stars in the sky, they will immediately pick a few and send them over.
Qin Hai pointed at Jingjing and said: "Can you please ask these friends from the business world to bring their wives over and let them accompany my wife to go shopping in St. Paul? I don't dare to neglect me during our honeymoon.
's new wife."
"No problem at all!" Varnum agreed without even thinking about it. Madam diplomacy was originally a form of business public relations, so asking the two entrepreneurs to bring their wives to accompany Ning Jing was nothing.
?If they can become best friends with Jing Jing, it will be of great help to their husband's business. This kind of thing is almost what others want.
After coming out of the hotel, Qin Hai claimed that he wanted to go shopping with Ning Jing to see the night view, and asked Rutenberg and Varnum to leave first. Ning Jing watched the two Brazilian "light bulbs" walk away, then turned around and gave Qin Hai a hard look.
Said: "Have you planned to discuss business with them for a long time? You also lied that you were going on honeymoon with me."
"Ma'am, calm down... isn't it true that people are in the arena and can't help themselves?" Qin Hai apologized with a smile that was not formal.
"Then you let the wives of those bosses go shopping with me? What's the big deal?" Jing Jing asked.
Qin Haidao: "Aren't I afraid that you will be bored? I will find some companions for you to go shopping with."
"Why don't you think about it, none of these big entrepreneurs are old enough, and their wives are old enough to be my mother. Why don't you bore me to death when I take a group of aunts shopping?" Ning Jing stomped her feet and complained. (To be continued.
