Material Empire

Juanito communicated with Qin Hai in a mixture of Spanish and English. Because Qin Hai's Spanish is not particularly strong, he can't express some complicated content, so he can only explain it in English. Juanito also knows some English, and the two of them talked and gestured, but they made it clear what they wanted to communicate.

During the negotiation between Qin Hai and Juanito, all Chen Hongcheng could do was drink coffee and giggle. He has learned a little English, but it is limited to written reading, and his listening and speaking skills are very poor, so he cannot participate in this kind of talk at all. He saw the two people staring at each other and laughing at other times. Although he could roughly guess some meanings, he couldn't understand a single word of the details.

Juanito hosted a banquet in the manor for Qin Hai and Chen Hongcheng. During this time, he had someone test the mold steel sample that Qin Hai brought, and the result proved that the performance that Qin Hai wrote was completely consistent. , which means that Qin Hai has indeed mastered the production technology of this kind of die steel.

After the banquet, Juanito hired a lawyer and signed an agreement with Qin Hai on the transfer of hot hammer forging die steel technology in the manor. Give Qin Hai a thick stack of light gray banknotes, which are 100 coins with a denomination of 10,000 pesetas.

Mr. Chen, keep it. Qin Hai handed the money to Chen Hongcheng, and at the same time gave him a smug smile.

Chen Hongcheng maintained proper restraint in front of customers. He accepted the banknotes, put them in his handbag, and smiled at Juanito to express his thanks.

According to the agreement, Juanito's remaining payment for purchasing the steel formula will be paid to Qin Hai after his factory smelts the first batch of qualified steel according to the formula requirements. Qin Hai doesn't have to worry about Juanito's tricks. deny. Because if this happens, Qin Hai can disclose the steel formula to the public, so that everyone will end up with a double-lose outcome.

When Chen Hongcheng walked out of Isaacson Manor, it was like a dream. The luxury of the manor could no longer attract his attention, and all his thoughts were tied to the 1 million pesetas in the handbag.

One million pesetas, calculated at the current exchange rate, is equivalent to 15,000 U.S. dollars, which can be exchanged for 150,000 yuan in the domestic black market. Chen Hongcheng didn't even hear clearly what Qin Hai and Juanito were talking about. How could Chen Hongcheng believe that such a huge sum of money was obtained?

Xiao Qin, what's going on here? After leaving Isaacson Manor, Chen Hongcheng asked Qin Hai eagerly.

What's going on? Qin Hai looked at Chen Hongcheng with a smile. He knew that today's result would surprise Chen Hongcheng, because no one in China could sell a technology at such a high price.

Chen Hongcheng said: I see that you handed in some documents to Juanito, and then he gave you so much money. Xiao Qin, you didn't sell some information, did you?

Qin Hai smiled and said, Old Chen, your imagination is too rich. I'm just a young worker in an agricultural machinery factory. What information can I sell?

No, you are an unusual young worker. Don't you still have contact with the army? Chen Hongcheng finally remembered that Qin Hai once said that his jeep was lent to him by the Anhe Provincial Military Region.

Qin Hai patted Chen Hongcheng on the shoulder and said, Okay, okay, don't guess, I just sold a steel formula to Juanito. Our Pingyuan Iron and Steel Plant smelts special steel, and we have a few What's so strange about this steel formula? I gave up the hot hammer forging die steel in the European market, and exchanged some cash for our activities in Madrid, and also saved you from talking about your $500 every day.

One formula can sell for 1 million pesetas...that's more than 10,000 US dollars. How can this thing be so valuable? Chen Hongcheng still couldn't believe it.

Qin Hai handed over the contract in his hand and said, Old Chen, you really haven't seen the money. The 1 million pesetas are just the first payment. Within three days, Juanito will pay me the final payment. .This contract is a total of 60,000 US dollars, if I am not in a hurry to use the money, I can't sell it to him so cheaply.

Chen Hongcheng held the contract but didn't look it up, but asked hesitantly: Xiao Qin, then how do we calculate the money?

Before coming out, Qin Hai and Chen Hongcheng agreed that the goal of this trip was to open up the European market and sell the special steel in Qin Hai's hands to Europe. Therefore, the products sold are positioned as special steel products because the added value of special steel products is high. Compared with ordinary steel products, the price per ton can be several times or even dozens of times higher, which can save a lot of transportation costs. China is currently still a country with a shortage of steel products. It is unrealistic to export a large amount of ordinary steel products, but selling special steel products will not affect domestic supply and demand. This is a more appropriate choice.

In terms of the distribution of sales profits, the two parties agreed that no matter what the final transaction price was, 5% of the sales revenue would be used as commission for Red Sea Company, and the rest would be used as income for Pingyuan Iron and Steel Works. Qinhai's Pingyuan Iron and Steel Factory does not have independent foreign trade rights, and the network in the foreign trade department is not strong enough. It needs to use Red Sea Company as an overseas sales agent, and it is also necessary to give Red Sea Company 5% of sales as a commission.

Chen Hongcheng didn't know the production cost of steel, so he couldn't evaluate Qin Hai's actual profit. A commission based on sales is a more reasonable way for both parties. Qin Hai claimed that within three years, his annual sales in Europe could reach at least 10 million US dollars. Calculated at 5%, Chen Hongcheng could get no less than 500,000 US dollars. If he changed hands at the black market price, it would be 5 million. RMB.

What Chen Hongcheng paid in this transaction was nothing more than some relationships, there was no real cost, and the income was almost entirely profit. In China in the mid-1980s, if a company could make an additional profit of no less than 5 million yuan a year, it was like planting a cash cow.

The two parties had such an agreement, but who knew that after arriving in Europe, the first business Qin Hai made was not selling steel, but a formula. This kind of intellectual property transaction can't even be checked by the customs, and Chen Hongcheng's relationship in foreign trade is not used at all. Is it necessary to distribute such income to Chen Hongcheng?

Speaking of which, Qin Hai can come out today without Chen Hongcheng, or he can put the money in his pocket after the transaction is completed and not hand it over to Chen Hongcheng. But Qin Hai didn't do this. After receiving the money, he directly stuffed it into Chen Hongcheng's hands. Chen Hongcheng didn't know what Qin Hai was thinking, so he had to ask clearly to avoid unnecessary embarrassment.

Hearing Chen Hongcheng's words, Qin Hai was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he and Chen Hongcheng belonged to two stakeholders, and it would be inappropriate not to make it clear about matters involving money. He smiled and said:

What's the point of this? Didn't we agree that you get 5% of the income in the European market, and the rest is mine. I want to explain this. There is a reason for me to take the big head. To develop a The investment in formula is no less than that in producing steel, and we have a cost to earn this kind of money.

Qin Hai explained it this way because he was afraid that Chen Hongcheng would feel unhappy. But Chen Hongcheng's thoughts are different from Qin Hai's. He himself is used to empty-handed white wolves. Slowly speaking, developing technology requires investment. Even if these technologies come out of thin air, and Qin Hai takes 95%, Chen Hongcheng will not feel inappropriate. , he was just thinking, what reason did he have to take the 5%. You know, even 5% is a full $3,000, which is not a small amount of money.

Xiao Qin, that's not what I mean, I mean, I don't have any credit for this matter,... Otherwise, I won't take it? Chen Hongcheng gritted his teeth, reluctantly expressing his refusal.

Qin Hai patted Chen Hongcheng on the shoulder and said with a smile: Old Chen, you've made a fool of yourself. Without your help, how could I get into this foreign trade delegation? How could I sell the formula? Since we are partners , don’t worry about who does more and who does less. By the way, we have money in our hands now. All the expenses in Spain during this period are all paid from my share, including the money for calling a taxi today. , you take it all back.

How is this appropriate... At least, I will pay for the taxi as soon as I pay. As for the future expenses... let's each have half of it. Chen Hongcheng said.

Qin Haidao: That's not necessary. We still spend a lot in Spain. You only brought 500 US dollars abroad, which is not enough at all. There is one thing I want to tell you in advance, the sales of special steel, I entrust For Red Sea Company, the share of sales revenue will be handled as we agreed before. But during my stay in Spain, I plan to contact some other businesses, which have nothing to do with special steel, so please forgive me for not sharing it with Mr. Chen. What does President Chen think?

Of course! Chen Hongcheng quickly agreed, but his heart was a bit sour. He has now fully realized Qin Hai's ability. Qin Hai said that he still needs to develop other businesses, which must be at the level of millions or tens of millions. It's really embarrassing to have such a business without his own share.

But, thinking about it the other way around, Qin Hai's ability belongs to others. What he did himself was just to help Qin Hai go abroad. It is already very good to get the share of special steel. Why should I worry about Qin Hai's other income? ?

Qin Hai saw what Chen Hongcheng was thinking, and said, Old Chen, it's not that I'm stingy, some businesses are still in the exploratory stage, and I don't want to drag you down. Let's cooperate on special steel first, and then develop our own strengths .As for cooperation in other areas, there will be opportunities to continue the discussion in the future. I am worried that by that time, your Red Sea company will be well developed, and you will look down on me, Xiao Qin, for such a small business.

I, Chen Hongcheng, are here to make a statement. As long as you, Xiao Qin, are willing to cooperate with our Red Sea company at any time, the Red Sea Company will have nothing to say. Chen Hongcheng patted his chest and solemnly swore an oath.

The update is late again, there is really no way, the flaw of a part-time writer.

There are only the last two days left in July, and Orange's position on the monthly ticket list is in jeopardy. Chengzi also wanted to open a single chapter to ask for a ticket, but he didn't have a manuscript in hand, so he couldn't even ask for a monthly ticket. I had to plead weakly in my testimonials: If everyone doesn’t dislike Chengzi’s speed of changing twice a day, give Chengzi the remaining monthly tickets for this month.

The third and fourth places on the new book monthly ticket list, the salary difference on the website in the future will be much different...
