Chapter 6: The Old Profession (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
Back in the dormitory, several roommates had already gotten up from bed, Rong Chao lifted his pants and asked, "Lu Tao, do you want to play?"
"Go ahead, I've got something to do. Lu Tao replied directly.
"You kid, these two days are not normal, I don't know what the hell is going on. Li Hong looked at him.
"You're not normal. Lu Tao scolded with a smile. "You guys, I still have to go to the library. ”
"Come on, you kid, the National Day is only seven days, just soak in the library, I haven't seen you love to study so much before. “
Lu Tao was not very interested in playing basketball, and it happened to be the National Day, so the things he planned were just done during the holidays in the past few days, and when the National Day passed, he could start operating directly.
A thick yellow page, which contains the contact information of some manufacturers all over the country and all walks of life, what Lu Tao has to do is to screen out the information he needs from it and summarize it by category.
The main feature of the school is chemistry, so the first thing he looked for was the equipment for chemical analysis.
Liquid chromatograph, gas chromatograph, electrochemiluminescence detection, pH meter, potentiometric titrator, all the names of instruments that can be used in chemical analysis laboratories are listed on the paper, and then they are turned over one by one.
It's easier said than done. First, there are too many products, and second, a lot of information about the manufacturer is not complete, what he needs to do is to record all the things, and then make them into the form of a catalog, and then check them one by one. It seems that this yellow page has been around for a while, and who knows whether the information in it is true or false, and whether it has changed. If you come back to find it in the future, it will be too wasteful of time, so it is better to do it directly at one time.
It took him a full two hours to complete the chromatography alone.
Chromatography is mainly divided into preparative chromatography and analytical chromatography, and he also understands the preparation of chromatography, but it is mainly used in drug research and development.
Make a plan, and if you want to do it, you have to do it as well as you can.
There are three main imported chromatography instruments in his impression, one is Agilent in the United States, one is Shimadzu in RB, and one is waters.
Shimazu Katsu entered the country relatively early, and its popularity has risen, and Waters is mainly high-end, the price is very expensive, and the performance and quality are relatively good. As for Agilent, although it has also entered the country at this time, it has actually been pressed by Shimadzu, but in just a few years, it has won the favor of most domestic laboratories by virtue of its quality and moderate price.
The natural rejection of the island nation made him choose the other two companies directly. He knew that Shimadzu began to decline in China after entering the year 2000, and in the next few years, it was basically not in the scope of procurement of laboratories in major universities and research institutes. At that time, the cheap ones could choose domestic ones, the mid-range ones could choose Agilent, and the high-end ones were directly Waters, and Shimadzu had to rely on the low prices in imports to shift the focus to some pharmaceutical companies.
After thinking about it, I decided that the chromatography piece would mainly recommend Agilent's instrument for the time being, after all, after more than ten years, the company's annual revenue is also tens of billions.
An instrument has its own consumables, some have special reagents, and other manufacturers are incompatible, once the equipment is sold, the follow-up needs are still there, and it is also a lot of income.
After the chromatography was determined, he began to look for other aspects in turn, such as the rotary evaporator and other equipment that must be used in chemical synthesis.
For the whole afternoon, he kept recording in his notebook. The general situation analysis of each manufacturer, the contact number, the future development in China, what consumables will be approximated, etc.
I have to say that professionalism is very important, if he hadn't been engaged in this work, I'm afraid he would never have learned about it in his life.
Now he is going to rely on these to earn his first pot of gold. Start with your own school, then develop to several other schools in the city. If all goes well, there will be a lot to be done with the help of the policy.
Don't look at it sound, there is no oil and water to make money in this area, and it is not as fast as the stock real estate Internet, but Lu Tao is very clear that the domestic instrument industry basically began to develop a blowout from this time period, and at the beginning it also belonged to a relatively partial industry, and the contact was relatively small, so that the later sales giants of several major industries basically began to develop from 2000.
When he was working in his previous life, he had been in contact with a few agency companies that entered the industry after 02 years, although he was not a rich man, but the customer base was established, and he had the right to act as an agent, and he almost sat to collect money, and it was easy to get hundreds of millions a year.
The volatility of customers in this industry will not be too large, after all, they are all engaged in scientific research, even if they change jobs, they are still in this industry. As long as you engage in scientific research, you have to use instruments and consumables.
How much is the annual funding for scientific research? The state will only increase its investment in this area, not reduce it.
Therefore, this market prospect is definitely good.
Of course, these are not the things he needs to think about now, the most important thing at the moment is to find the contact information of all the manufacturers he is familiar with as soon as possible, and then edit it into a book, so that he can carry out his next plan.
What he chooses now is mainly imported instrument brands. There's no way around it. In the field of instruments and equipment, especially scientific research instruments, there are not many domestic manufacturers, coupled with so many years of technical blockade, whether it is manufacturing, or technical strength, can not catch up with similar foreign products, which is also the reason why the price of foreign equipment has been high.
This kind of thing, after all, is not in a hurry, it is not like a virtual economy, this needs to be accumulated over many years, just like an aero engine, involving all aspects, where is it so easy?
Sitting in the library, Lu Tao has been writing rustling in his notebook, and how to operate each step is written in great detail.
To do this industry, the most important thing is to negotiate a good relationship with the manufacturer, if you can get its agency in a certain area, with Lu Tao's advanced knowledge, then for a long time in the future, it will also belong to sitting and collecting money.
After thinking about it, I don't have funds now, so it's definitely impossible to talk about the agency directly, and people won't believe it, so I have to find another way.
What he thought of was to contact the manufacturers he selected first to see if he could use their names and directly help them sell them for free without a basic salary. After it has to be sold, it will be calculated and commissioned.
There are two advantages to this, one is that they already have it in name, on behalf of the manufacturer, but in fact it is similar to the form of a partner; the other is that they do not need to invest the principal at all, avoiding the problem of agent advance deposit, which can be described as the best of both worlds.
It's just that the manufacturer will agree to his proposal, he is still a little unsure, and he can only contact after the National Day.
As for the next few days, let's do these basic work well.
