Chapter 208: I Have a Bottom Line
Tao's efficiency is very high, which is probably why they have always been the world leader in the field of epoxy resins.
In the afternoon, Shi Hongxin signed a contract with Zhang Xiaofan on behalf of Tao's Chemical.
Zhang Xiaofan handed over the molecular formula to Shi Hongxin.
"Mr. Shi, happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation, wait a minute, don't leave yet, the research room has already gathered all the researchers, and they will conduct theoretical analysis after they get the molecular formula.
They may have some problems at that time, and please cooperate with them, after all, if this product is indeed as you said, we also hope to develop it as soon as possible. ”
"Yes"
At this time, Zhang Xiaofan couldn't show his timidity, although Zhang Xiaofan really didn't know what the raw materials for synthesis were, what was the process of synthesis, and what were the conditions for synthesis?
But there is one thing that he still knows about the ultimate form of this epoxy resin, such as the range of softening points, glass transition temperature, what are the main by-products, and so on.
Anyway, when the time comes, it will definitely need to be translated by Shi Hongxin, and Zhang Xiaofan doesn't know how to speak English, and Zhang Xiaofan guesses that when Shi Hongxin translates, he will definitely not be able to fully express Zhang Xiaofan's meaning.
At this time, you must guess part of it, so it doesn't matter if there is a little discrepancy and a little falsehood.
However, what Zhang Xiaofan admires very much is that their efficiency is really not covered.
In the evening, they had already connected to the phone, hoping that Zhang Xiaofan would answer some of their questions.
Of course, Zhang Xiaofan can only tell Shi Hongxin, and then Shi Hongxin will convey it.
"What does that methyl group do?"
"Naturally, if the functional groups are increased, the cross-linking density will increase the heat resistance of the coating film, and the anti-corrosion properties such as chemical resistance will be improved. ”
"How did you get this epoxy?"
"This may have been a small experimental accident at the beginning, but what was added, there are already some vague memories, it seems to be linear phenolic, right?"
Anyway, this lie is about a phenolic resin, so he directly borrowed the name, has the other party not asked any questions for a long time?
Then seeing Shi Hongxin hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief.
Is that all right?
"It's going to take about a week before we hear from you, after all, you know it takes a lot of time to use this thing, and Zhang is always ready to wait here for a few days? Or is it ......?"
"I can be notified with the news, I believe in your company, I believe in the character of the general manager. ”
Shi Hongxin smiled indifferently, although Zhang Xiaofan said so, he knew that Zhang Xiaofan must still have a little bit of disbelief in his heart.
In Shi Hongxin's view, $1 million is really a drop in the bucket for Tao's Chemical.
If the molecular formula provided by Zhang Xiaofan is indeed a kind of Zhang Xiaofan said, in the field of heavy anti-corrosion, it is absolutely leading the world.
Then the $1 million spent is definitely worth it, after all, the whole world is in the field of heavy antiseptics, and the annual epoxy consumption is very large, so if it is really a genuine good thing.
Then $1 million can be earned back casually, and it can even bring very large profits to the company, roughly estimated to exceed hundreds of millions of dollars.
So this deal is very affordable.
As for what Zhang Xiaofan said, his brother's company purchases this epoxy.
In Shi Hongxin's eyes, as far as a company in China can use this kind of words, how much can it be used? After all, in the field of heavy anti-corrosion in China, it can really only be said to be very ordinary.
Some domestic paint manufacturers, almost no real heavy anticorrosive coatings, now the West-East Gas Transmission Project, the heavy anticorrosive coatings used in pipelines, are imported from abroad.
From this point, it can be seen that the dosage of this company should be very small.
Even if you sell to them at cost price, you won't lose much.
So Shi Hongxin didn't care.
Zhang Xiaofan did not return to Yuezhou, he still has a lot of things to do, and there are several materials that need to be customized.
For example, epoxy curing agent, some epoxy curing agents on the market can not meet Zhang Xiaofan's requirements at all.
So he also had to find a manufacturer of curing agent for special customization.
This kind of curing agent can be found by domestic manufacturers, which can fully meet Zhang Xiaofan's requirements.
The main thing is that they absolutely do not have those problems with foreign capital.
As long as Zhang Xiaofan asks for it, they will spare no effort to study, and Zhang Xiaofan can sign a contract.
After all, this curing agent is not necessarily only used for heavy anti-corrosion, and other coatings can also be used, so Zhang Xiaofan can sign a contract.
In order to ensure that the manufacturer of this curing agent is willing to research and develop for the requirements put forward by Zhang Xiaofan.
Zhang Xiaofan ran for half a month in a row and signed five contracts, and the requirements of these contracts were very detailed.
Zhang Xiaofan has provided molecular formulas, and there are very big requirements for purity, the high purity must reach 99, and the lower requirements must also reach about 95.
And for production by-products, there are also detailed regulations.
Including the regulations of the outer packaging, the regulations of weight, the stability between batches and batches.
In fact, the more detailed a contract is, the more reassuring it is for both parties.
Zhang Xiaofan, who has a contract, can immediately file a claim if he finds that there is a problem with the quality of the product.
For suppliers, the more detailed the contract, the more serious Zhang Xiaofan is, so that they, as manufacturers, are more assured that they will not fail to perform after signing the contract.
After returning to Yuezhou, Zhang Xiaofan told Chen Ying everything about it.
After all, the future cooperation with these manufacturers will be handed over to Chen Ying to deal with.
However, Chen Ying had a lot of doubts, so she asked them in person.
"According to you, your epoxy molecular formula is definitely the first in the world in the field of heavy antiseptic, so is $1 million too little?"
"That's a lot! I could offer two million three million dollars, and they'll probably pay it, but you know, I'm only offering a molecular formula.
If they feel that the money is too much, they can completely refuse to fulfill the contract, and I can't do anything about it.
After all, it was only the president of the branch who signed the contract, and their headquarters could completely excuse it, saying that the research of their headquarters had already been developed, and that just one molecular formula could not be patented.
But when they develop it, they can register a patent, and then they won't have a dime.
If I go to buy it, the price will be very high. ”
Zhang Xiaofan thought about this very clearly.
The first point is that he needs this kind of raw material very much now, after all, the West-East Gas Transmission Project has been going on for so long, and you don't have much profit, Zhang Xiaofan can't wait.
The second point is that this molecular formula was originally researched by Tao's Chemical, which is to steal them.
Thank you lzly dragon, the first tear is heartwarming and then rewarded.
By the way, I ask for a recommendation ticket.
