Chapter 207: Change of Strategy

Zhang Xiaofan sat on the plane and kept thinking about a question, is he a little wrong in this direction?

The molecular formula provided by myself should be researched by Tao's Chemical a few years later, which is a heavy anticorrosive epoxy resin with excellent performance.

The solid powder coating produced by this epoxy is applied to the oil pipeline, and the maximum service life can reach 70 years, which is a very domineering number, of course, the formula design is also very reasonable, otherwise it will be about 50 years at most.

At this stage, the service life of various oil pipelines and gas pipelines is generally about 50 years, and it is still the best situation.

If the geographical environment of these pipelines is very harsh, the service life will be reduced a lot, after all, for coatings, the corrosion ability of acid and alkali is still relatively strong research and development funds.

Maybe this kind of R&D funding will cost tens of millions of dollars, or even hundreds of millions of dollars, so Zhang Xiaofan feels that he has to change his method.

I don't go over in the name of buyers, but sell this molecular formula to them, even if I can't sell it for money, it stands to reason that at least I can buy the developed epoxy at a low price.

But if you can sell it for some money, it would be good.

Of course, Zhang Xiaofan knew that if he wanted to sell for money, he would definitely not be able to get it immediately.

After all, the molecular formula is there, but it still takes a lot of time to synthesize this thing.

After all, if you want to know the performance of this epoxy, you must synthesize the physical object in order to test its performance, which takes a lot of time.

However, if you go in this way, you can indeed save a lot of money, at least you don't have to pay for this research and development cost, and the price of purchasing epoxy resin will definitely be reduced a lot.

Zhang Xiaofan decided to do just that.

Anyway, the West-East Gas Transmission Project cannot be completed in a day or two, and it will take a lot of time to screen your own secondary materials.

There is also an epoxy curing agent, which also needs to be customized, so even if it is slow for one or two months, it will not have much impact.

If Tao's Chemical has that kind of awesome technician, it is estimated that after reading this molecular formula, you can roughly know where the performance of this thing will be stronger.

After several twists and turns, Zhang Xiaofan met their general manager, Shi Hongxin.

is not a person from the American imperialists, but a Chinese person, in this case, the communication will be much better.

Zhang Xiaofan bluntly stated his purpose.

"Mr. Shi, I brought a molecular formula this time, which is a molecular formula with very excellent performance and heavy anticorrosive epoxy resin. ”

Shi Hongxin smiled, he felt very curious, this was the first time he came to him to sell molecular formulas since he started his career.

He even said that since he was born, he had never heard of such a business as selling molecular formulas.

I want to laugh, but I feel like I can't laugh.

Because the young man in front of him was very confident, and his face was very serious, not like he was joking.

"So how do you prove that this molecular formula is a very good, heavily preservative epoxy resin?

Is there an international authority for testing? Do you have a finished product?

Did you do the whole process yourself?"

Zhang Xiaofan naturally didn't have these things, and he also knew that the other party would definitely ask such questions.

After all, if you come up with a molecular formula, who will believe your words, who will believe that this thing will perform well.

"The method I synthesized cannot be applied to industrial production, but this is a new product developed by one of my senior brothers entrusted to our school.

Their demand is very large, I don't know if Mr. Shi has heard of the West-East Gas Transmission Project.

Our epoxy resin is designed for this purpose, and we are ashamed to say that due to the funding and staffing of the research and development, it can only be said that it is unsatisfactory, so so far, it has only succeeded once.

However, the coatings we produce with this epoxy resin have excellent performance, and all properties are among the best in the world.

The reason why I found your company is because your company is the world's first in the epoxy resin industry, and I think your senior technicians should be able to roughly understand this thing after seeing this molecular formula. ”

West-to-East Gas Transmission, this Shi Hongxin naturally knows that a large project with a construction time of nearly 20 years and a total investment of more than 500 billion yuan is not known.

Moreover, the largest powder coating company in the Netherlands is the supplier of coatings for the pipelines used in the West-East Gas Transmission Project, and the epoxy they use is also provided by Tao's Chemical.

The performance of this epoxy can only be said to be unsatisfactory, so it has been required by customers to improve quality, and now the molecular formula in Zhang Xiaofan's hands can solve this problem?

Shi Hongxin doesn't know, Tao's Chemical Research Institute is not in China, so do I want to get this molecular formula and study it for the headquarters.

"Tell me what you're asking for. ”

Zhang Xiaofan smiled knowingly.

This General Manager Shi is really interesting and willing to cooperate with Zhang Xiaofan.

"Mr. Shi is happy, I know that your company definitely does not believe in this molecular formula, and the performance will be very good, so we need to sign a contract. ”

"Okay, you say, what are the requirements. ”

"First of all, you must have your company's senior technicians, after reading this molecular formula, according to their experience, they should be able to roughly understand this molecular formula and the performance after industrial production. ”

Shi Hongxin nodded, this is a must, only after these technicians confirm, can they talk about the following conditions.

Since Shi Hongxin is the premise of determination, Zhang Xiaofan continued.

"First, I'll only provide the molecular formula.

Second, if you apply this product to industrial production, and it performs better than your existing product, you need to pay me $1 million.

Third, when purchasing the product you produce, my brother's company cannot be higher than 15% of the cost price.

……”

Some of the requirements were very excessive in Shi Hongxin's opinion, and now he really didn't dare to agree to Zhang Xiaofan, and he always felt a bit child's play.

But the premise of these requirements, Zhang Xiaofan said to tell you that this molecular formula should be superior to all epoxy on the current market.

"I'll report to HQ first. ”

In fact, this matter is actually quite risky.

Zhang Xiaofan himself knows that if they take this molecular formula and research a new product, they may directly deny it.

But Zhang Xiaofan doesn't really care about these, what he wants is the finished product produced by this molecule, which is originally a customized product.

Customized products not only cost research, but also often have a very high product price.

So now Zhang Xiaofan is actually a little bit fearless, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't give money, as long as the price of their products is within the range that Zhang Xiaofan accepts.

But Zhang Xiaofan is still willing to believe in the credit of these big companies, as long as the contract is signed, with a little money, they should still not break their trust.

The most important thing is that if they keep their promises, then the price of epoxy resin, the raw material they procure, must be very low, compared with other paint manufacturers, their own advantages are very large.
