Material Empire

What Vanum can think of, of course Qin Hai can also think of it. 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 the most suitable. But Qin Hai knew that the strength of Daqin Group was not enough, and it would be a bit powerless to directly compete with the major European and American manufacturers for the main market, and it would also easily provoke counterattacks from European and American manufacturers. In contrast, it is more rational to enter the third world market first and take the road of encircling the cities from the countryside.

The economy of South America is very distinctive. Among the three continents traditionally called Asia, Africa and Latin America, South America, or Latin America including Central America, has the highest level of economic development and has a certain amount of industrial The manufacturing capacity and the purchasing power of residents' consumption are also very strong. But at the same time, under the influence of wrong economic development ideas, the economic structure of South America is seriously deformed. Some of the industrial chains are well developed, while the other parts are underdeveloped. This has led to the long-term dependence of the South American economy on Europe and the United States. , It is necessary to import a large amount 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 wanted to do was to take the fat of South America from the mouths of European and American manufacturers and put it on his own plate.

In addition to obtaining this market, opening up South America is also beneficial to entering Africa. Both South America and Africa are in the southern hemisphere, and countries such as Spain and Portugal that colonized South America were also the first countries to colonize Africa. For these reasons, there are more connections between the two continents in terms of economy, politics, and culture. . Making an impact on the South American market can indirectly have a radiation effect on the African continent, thus preparing a stepping stone for entering the African market. This is also one of Qin Hai's wishful thinking.

Naturally, it is inconvenient to express these thoughts to Ruttenberg and Varnum. If they can realize it by themselves, Qin Hai will not deny it. Facing Varnum's question, Qin Hai just smiled and said: China and South America are relatively similar in terms of economic development. Some of the products we have developed are suitable for the Chinese market as well as the South American market, so we Hope to make a difference in the South American market.

So that's how it is. Ruttenberg and Varnum were both relieved. They were both engaged in technology, and their understanding of the market was far inferior to that of Qin Hai, so their thinking about the problem was not as far-reaching as Qin Hai's. After hearing Qin Hai's explanation, they immediately believed it.

What new materials are you going to show? Ruttenberg asked. He has already planned to help Qin Hai facilitate this matter, and now he needs 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., which can meet the requirements of various industries.

Will your recently developed yttrium-based rare earth permanent magnet materials and graphene appear at this order meeting? Varnum asked.

Qin Hai laughed: Of course, these are our flagship products in the recent period. Our group has invested a considerable amount of money in these two products, and they must be recovered from the market as soon as possible.

Several companies I am 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, simple procurement of raw materials is the main mode of cooperation between South American companies and European and North American companies. After the financial crisis, the governments of South American countries and some far-sighted companies have realized the risks brought about by the deformed economic structure, hoping to participate more in the middle of the industrial chain and gain more initiative.

Qin Hai understood what Varnum meant, and he did not refuse to develop together with South American companies. In his conception, South American companies are not competitors of the Daqin Group, and can be treated as friendly forces. His original intention is also to use the power of South American companies to compete with European and North American companies. As for what will happen after the two sides join forces to defeat European and American companies, it is not something that needs to be considered now.

With this in mind, Qin Hai said straightforwardly: 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 South American companies are welcome. Companies are using these materials to develop new levels of products.

This is great. Varnum said excitedly. The companies he mentioned all hired him as a senior consultant and paid him a lot of consulting fees every year. After hearing that he had the opportunity to meet Qin Hai, the chairman of several companies called him specifically, hoping that he could help build a bridge between their company and Daqin Group and establish a cooperative 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. 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 whose companies are among the top in Brazil. They hope to cooperate with Mr. Qin very much. I wonder if Mr. Qin can spare a little time to meet with them? Varnum is a bit aggressive, and he also Knowing that it was a bit abrupt to make such a request, but the two companies urged him so hard that he couldn't care less about being reserved.

Mr. Varnum, it is very inappropriate for you to make such a request. Mr. Qin and Ms. Ning came to Brazil for their honeymoon. You can't disturb their sweet vacation with such things. Ruttenberg showed a look of anger The way he looked, he condemned Vanum.

Yes...I know... Varnum was a little embarrassed and began to falter.

Ruttenberg said sternly: You see, I would not make such a request. In fact, I also have two friends who really hope to meet Mr. Qin. They claim that the business of more than 500 million US dollars a year can Cooperate with Mr. Qin's company. But I will not make such an inappropriate request to Mr. Qin at this time.

Uh... Qin Hai rolled his eyes, Nima, are you still asking me not to ask? As the chairman of a company, who can resist the temptation of getting more than 500 million US dollars a year in business, aren't you just waiting for me to jump into the pit by myself?

Actually, my husband and I came to South America for the purpose of seeking cooperation, and honeymoon is only one of our purposes. So... Tranquility revealed softly beside him.

Qin Hai didn't expect Ning Jing to say this, because he had promised Ning Ning a long time ago that this trip was just to accompany her to play and enjoy the world of the two of them. Meeting Ruttenberg and Varnum is already a little bit of business. If you go to meet the entrepreneurs introduced by them, it will be a downright business activity. From his heart, of course, he hopes to have a talk with these entrepreneurs as soon as possible. After confirming the principled opinions, he can call the business personnel of the group to follow up. He didn't hastily agree to Vanum's invitation just now, because he was actually concerned about the feeling of tranquility. He was still thinking about how to persuade Tranquility tactfully, but he didn't expect Tranquility to open a hole for him first.

With a wife like this, what can a husband ask for? Qin Hai sighed and cast a thankful look at Tranquility, in exchange for Tranquility's half-smiling eyes. Tranquility really knows Qin Hai too well, not to mention that Qin Hai's career is also her career, not to mention that Daqin Group also has her share, that is, her superconducting research, and it doesn't use Daqin Group's huge funds piled up. She was not a hypocritical person in the first place, how could she embarrass Qin Hai in such a matter.

I have a very reasonable wife. Qin Hai said to Ruttenberg and Varnum with a smile, I think I can spare a day to chat with the business friends introduced by the two of you, but I have A small condition, I don’t know if it can be fulfilled.”

Mr. Qin, just ask for any conditions, as long as we can do it... Ruttenberg and Varnum said in unison. Hearing that Qin Hai agreed to meet with those entrepreneurs, the two of them were already in high spirits. Even if Qin Hai's condition was to ask for stars in the sky, they would pick a few and send them over right away.

Qin Hai pointed at Tranquility with his fingers and said, Can you please bring these friends from the business world to bring their wives here, and let them accompany my wife to go shopping in Sao Paulo. I dare not neglect me on my honeymoon. new wife.

No problem at all! Varnum agreed without thinking about it. Wife diplomacy was originally a form of commercial public relations. What kind of thing is it to let those two entrepreneurs bring their wives to accompany Tranquility? If they can become girlfriends with Tranquility, it will be of great help to her husband's business. This kind of thing is almost what others wish for.

Coming out of the hotel, Qin Hai claimed that he wanted to visit the night scene with Tranquility, and let Ruttenberg and Varnum go first. Tranquility watched the two Brazilian light bulbs walk away, turned around and gave Qin Hai a hard look, and said, Did you plan to do business with them a long time ago? You even lied about going out with me on honeymoon of.

Madam, calm down... Isn't this a person who is in the Jianghu and can't help himself? Qin Hai smiled and begged for forgiveness.

Then you asked the wives of those bosses to accompany me to go shopping? What is this? Tranquility asked.

Qin Haidao: I'm afraid you'll be bored, so I'll find some companions for you to go shopping together.

Why don't you think about it, which of these big entrepreneurs is not in his 70s and 80s, and their wives are enough to be my mother. I took a group of aunts to go shopping, don't you bother me to death? Tranquility complained, stomping her feet.
