Material Empire

Qin Hai doesn't need to care about how the members of Honggang are plotting. He knew that the plan he proposed was a bit shocking, and it might not be easy for Jiang Huanwen and the others to accept it immediately. However, he also firmly believes that Jiang Huanwen will find him in the end, because if there is such a big profit, as a qualified business leader, he will not let it go easily.

Chen Hongcheng lazily followed Qin Hai out of the hotel, raised his head and asked, Professor Qin, which college are we going to today?

Ever since Qin Hai ran away to the academy for three days, Chen Hongcheng changed his name to Qin Hai as a professor. He was powerless to change Qin Hai's arrangement, so he could only vent his anger with his tongue.

Qin Haidao: Go to St. Louis College.

St. Louis... haven't we been there? Chen Hongcheng asked in surprise.

Qin Hai smiled and said: If you've been there, you can go there again. Mr. Chen should know the truth of reviewing the past and learning the new.

No way! Chen Hongcheng's head doubled in size. These days, he counted the number of colleges in Madrid every day, thinking that when Qin Hai went to all the colleges, his hard life would be over. Unexpectedly, before the new academy is finished, Qin Hai actually starts to revisit the academy he has been to. Is this the rhythm of really planning to find a teaching position in Madrid?

Qin Hai knew what Chen Hongcheng was thinking, but he was actually teasing Chen Hongcheng on purpose. Seeing that Chen Hongcheng was about to lose his face, he quickly patted Chen Hongcheng on the shoulder and said, Don't worry, Old Chen, we're just looking for someone today, and let him lead us...We won't go to the academy today, okay? ?”

That's what you said! Chen Hongcheng came to his senses, raised his hand, and directly stopped a taxi, and shouted at the driver in the half-baked Spanish he had just learned in the past two days: St. Louis College!

When the two arrived at the college, Qin Hai did not go into the office building to discuss with the scholars, but made a phone call at the guard and called out a bald foreigner Chen Hongcheng had met last time.

This is Mr. Gonet, an expert in metallurgy. He has a lot of research on metallurgical equipment. Many steel companies in Spain have hired him as a consultant. Qin Hai introduced to Chen Hongcheng.

Mr. Gonet, hello. Chen Hongcheng greeted in English.

Mr. Chen, you're fine too. Gonet nodded politely to Chen Hongcheng, then turned to Qin Hai and asked, Mr. Qin, what do you need from me?

Yes. Qin Haidao, I want to ask you about the situation of the steelmaking electric furnace, can I delay you for a while?

Absolutely, Gonet said. Please come to my office and talk.

Qin Hai shook his head and said, No, I may need to trouble you to come with us, it will probably take up a day of your time, is that okay?

This... Gonet hesitated a little. He thought to himself: Am I familiar with you? If you just say a word, I will go running with you for a day. Why? However, he remembered that when Qin Hai came last time, he had told him some ideas about metallurgy. He is now doing a set of experiments based on these ideas, and he might be able to produce some good papers. From this point of view, he actually owed Qin Hai a small favor, and he directly rejected Qin Hai's invitation, which seemed a bit ruthless.

This is your commission. Qin Hai took five 10,000 peseta bills from Chen Hongcheng and handed them to Gonet.

Oh... how can this work? No, no, I mean, I need to go up and lock the door of the office, and I need to explain to some of my assistants. Gonet accepted the money half-pushed, and then Then he ran back to the office building in a hurry.

He actually took the money? Chen Hongcheng looked at Gonet's back, a little surprised. In his mind, scholars, especially foreign scholars, should be quite noble. How can they smile when they see money? 50,000 pesetas, seven to eight hundred dollars, is a good extra money in Spain, but is it really appropriate to collect money face to face?

Qin Hai explained with a smile: When I came last time, I learned that Gonet and his colleagues often go to give technical guidance to companies, and they receive commissions every time they go out. We are also hiring him to work , he has no reason to refuse.

It seems that the principle that money can turn ghosts around doesn't only work in China. Chen Hongcheng sighed.

When Gonet came out again, he had changed out of his suit and changed into a blue overalls, which looked a bit like an engineer in a company. He said to Qin Hai: Thank you Mr. Qin for the commission. Tell me, what do you want me to do for you today?

Qin Haidao: I would like to ask you to take us to visit several steel factories and ask them about the price of the electric furnace they are using now.

This is totally fine. Gonet said, I am very familiar with various steel factories in Madrid. If Mr. Qin needs it, I can also help you find out about the situation of steel factories in other places by phone.

Qin Haidao: This is exactly what I want to ask Mr. Gonet to do. Come on, let's get in the car first.

This day was the happiest day for Chen Hongcheng after he arrived in Madrid. Under the leadership of Gonet, they went to four steel factories in Madrid, visited their steelmaking workshops, and had a cordial and friendly meeting with the factory personnel. chat. Gonet's connections in the metallurgical industry were indeed undisclosed. No matter where he went, the other party was extremely welcome, and even Qin Hai and Chen Hongcheng were treated courteously.

Xiao Qin, why did you think of visiting the steel factory? After sending Gonet back to St. Louis College, Chen Hongcheng and Qin Hai couldn't help asking as they sat in the taxi on the return trip.

Qin Haidao: Know the enemy and know yourself well. If we want to sell steel, how can we not understand the strength of our opponent?

But, why do I hear you talking about the price of the electric stove with them? Are you planning to buy an electric stove? Chen Hongcheng asked again.

Qin Haidao: I asked for Lao Jiang and the others.

Old Jiang... Chen Hongcheng curled his lips, We don't need to meddle in their business. The Hongyuan Iron and Steel Plant is of no use to us, so there's no point in wasting time on them.

Qin Hai shook his head and said: Old Chen, you are wrong. There is no relationship in this world that is useless. For example, we went to college a few days ago, and you said it was useless. Look, today Gonet Didn't it help us a lot?

Chen Hongcheng sighed and said: This means that you Xiaoqin has this charm. If it were me, I would feel weak when I saw foreign professors. How dare I pay someone to run errands for you. But, damn, these foreigners The wages are really high, and we earned 50,000 pesetas in one day, which must be the income of a cadre for several years, right?

The two returned to the hotel talking and laughing. As soon as they entered the lobby, they saw two people standing up on the sofa beside them, and walked towards Qin Hai.

Little Qin!

Qin Gong!

The two of them sandwiched Qin Hai between one left and one right, with smiles on their faces, closer than seeing relatives. Chen Hongcheng knew that these two were Honggang's chief financial officer, Yao Guojie, and technical chief, Zhu Shouhe. A day before, when these two met them, their noses were not noses, and their eyes were not eyes.

Chief Yao, Chief Zhu, what's the matter with you? Chen Hongcheng asked in surprise.

Oh, it's Mr. Chen. We're waiting for Qin Gong here. There's something... technical. I want to ask Qin Gong for advice. Yao Guojie explained to Chen Hongcheng with a smile. He knew that Chen Hongcheng's position was the general manager of Red Sea Company, but he didn't know what to call Qin Hai's position, so he simply followed Zhu Shouhe's example and called Qin Hai Qin Gong. The management engineers in the factory generally use the title of Xin Gong. Qin Hai has excellent skills, and it is not an exaggeration for Yao Guojie to call him Qin Gong.

Mr. Chen, go back to your room first. I'll go with Section Chief Yao and Section Chief Zhu. Qin Hai knew the purpose of these two looking for him. Since the other party didn't want Chen Hongcheng to know, he didn't need to expose it, anyway. After returning to the room, he can still explain to Chen Hongcheng.

Chen Hongcheng went back to the room by himself, Qin Hai followed Yao Guojie and Zhu Shouhe to Jiang Huanwen's room, and saw that Jiang Huanwen and Xiao Mengqin were already waiting there.

Director Jiang, have you guys gone to talk? How's the situation? Qin Hai had already guessed the result from the expressions on everyone's faces, and he asked straightforwardly without making any circles.

Jiang Huanwen glanced at Yao Guojie, but didn't say anything, maybe because he felt that as the factory director, it would be embarrassing for him to admit defeat in front of a junior. Yao Guojie beckoned Qin Hai to sit down, then sighed, and said, To tell the truth from Qin Gong, we went to Aosuo to renegotiate the price today, and the result was not satisfactory.

Did Oso not agree to lower the price? Qin Hai asked.

Yao Guojie said: Agreed, but the price cut is not big. One set of equipment can be reduced to 20 million, and if two sets are bought together, each set is 18 million. As for more room, we can't go on.

For this price, we made it hard, so they let it go. Xiao Mengqin said angrily from the side. She was the interpreter in the negotiation, so she must have been irritated.

Then what is Factory Director Jiang's plan? Qin Hai asked Jiang Huanwen calmly.

Jiang Huanwen said: First of all, we still have to thank Xiao Qin... er, thank Qin Gong. If you hadn't reminded us of the age of electric furnace technology, we might not even be able to negotiate the 2 million yuan. The 2 million yuan we are negotiating now is also for The country has saved a large amount of foreign exchange, and this credit should be credited to Foreman Qin.

Qin Hai smiled: Director Jiang's words are serious, I just offered some opinions casually. However, if Ossur just agrees to reduce the price by 2 million, it is not enough sincerity. Has Director Jiang considered it? My plan?

You mean, talk about the price at 11 million, then buy two sets at the same time, and lease one of them for your use? Jiang Huanwen asked.

Qin Haidao: Exactly. However, the price can be further lowered. One set is at most 8 million, and two sets are 16 million. What does Director Jiang think?
