Reverse osmosis membranes, which are used as filtration devices for municipal water supply, are too extravagant and completely unnecessary. But if it is used in the military field, it makes sense. Warships are cruising on the oceans, and fresh water replenishment is a very troublesome thing. Traditionally, seawater purification technology has been expensive and inefficient, but if you replace it with this super filter membrane produced by Daqin Group, things will be very simple. When the army is on a mission in the field, it will also encounter the problem of drinking water filtration, and super filtration membranes can also play a role.

After seeing reports about the super filter membrane in the media, the personnel of the US military were immediately attracted to use the super filter membrane to improve the water purification equipment in the military. Fitters and Setzler were the people who came to negotiate with Qin Hai about the purchase of super filter membranes. In order to avoid some unnecessary troubles caused by the identity of the military, the two people pretended to be employees of the water supply company.

Now that he has recognized the identity of Seitzler, Qin Hai naturally wants to break this layer of relationship. The other party hid his head and shrunk his tail, naturally he had some scruples, and this kind of scruple could become a bargaining condition for Qin Hai's side.

"Mr. Seitzler, when did you retire, and with your position in the army, you shouldn't have succumbed to a small department like the municipal water company, right?" Qin Hai spoke with a smile.

"Uh......" Setzler was stunned for a moment, he rubbed his eyes, looked at Qin Hai seriously for a long time, and finally recognized that the other party was the person he had dealt with. It is no wonder that in the eyes of Americans, Chinese look similar, just as Qin Hai also feels that Americans look similar.

"I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you just now, I want to think about it. Aren't you from Qilin Company, what is your relationship with Daqin Group? Seitzler asked. The Qilin company he said is a company plugged in by 70X, and the body armor transaction with the US military is done in the name of Qilin company.

Qin Hai said with a smile: "Qilin Company is just one of our partners, and the company I work for is China Daqin Industrial Group, which specializes in the materials industry. The super filter membrane you are interested in is our company's product, and we have not authorized other companies to represent this product at present. ”

"I see." Setzler answered. I didn't know how to go on. His military identity was recognized by the other party, and if he lied to the New York Municipal Water Supply Company, he would inevitably underestimate the other party's IQ.

Qin Hai still smiled slightly, pointed at Fitters, and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Fitters is also representing the U.S. military, right?" Mr. Setzler is in the Army's Materiel Division, and Mr. Fitters is in the Navy's Materiel Division? ”

"I have to admit that the Chinese are so smart." Fitters shrugged his shoulders and said self-deprecatingly. Qin Hai guessed blindly with his imagination. Unexpectedly, I really guessed it.

"So, the super filter membrane that you two are going to purchase is for military use?" Qin Hai put away his smile and asked with a sinking face.

Fitters and Setzler glanced at each other, knowing that they couldn't hide it from each other, so they nodded at the same time, acknowledging it.

Qin Hai spread his hands and said, "If that's the case." Then I'm afraid we won't have much to talk about. You should know that this super reverse osmosis membrane. It is subject to the Chinese government's export ban and cannot be sold to foreign military establishments without the permission of the Chinese military. ”

Hearing Qin Hai's words, Yu Lihong's eyes suddenly widened, he is the developer of super filter membranes, and he has been guiding production at Jintang Chemical Materials Company some time ago. How come he has never heard of this so-called export ban? Qin Hai's words are equivalent to closing the door to negotiation with the other party, which means that he does not plan to do this business. You know, 20,000 square meters of super reverse osmosis membrane. With a business of millions of dollars, Qin Hai made something awkward, and he would actually push it away.

Thinking like this in his heart, Yu Lihong didn't dare to come out casually to correct Qin Hai's statement. He could only secretly glance at Qin Hai, wanting to remind Qin Hai to think about this matter seriously. Who would have thought that Qin Hai didn't look in his direction at all, but just faced the two Americans seriously, and there was no room for accommodation on his face.

"The Chinese government's export ban?" Fitters was also confused by Qin Hai's words, he had never done business with the Chinese, and he had not studied whether China had such export restrictions, looking at Qin Hai's convincing appearance, presumably such a ban did exist. If that's the case, wouldn't it mean that he and Setzler had gone in vain? The most important thing is that the navy is still waiting for the introduction of this super filter membrane.

Setzler was also a little distracted for a while, but he was a person who had dealt with Qin Hai, so he would think more about things when he encountered them. He pondered Qin Hai's words, and sure enough, he found a flaw in them, so he asked tentatively: "Mr. Qin, what you said was 'without the permission of the military', so how can we get such permission?" ”

Qin Hai smiled secretly in his heart, he left such an opening, just to let the other party get in, in case the other party was too stupid and couldn't hear what was in the words for a while, he also planned to tap the other party again. Now it seems that the other party is not such a pedantic person, so it is necessary to explain it in a way that he wants to cover up.

"Permission from the military...... This is a troublesome matter. Qin Hai frowned like a mountain, "We are a purely civilian enterprise, and we have never dealt with the military, you should know that Western countries, including you in the United States, have always had discriminatory policies against private companies that do business with the Chinese military." As a company facing the international market, we really don't want to affect the business in the international market because of our ties to the military. ”

"No, no, Mr. Qin, I think you have some misunderstandings about the policies of the U.S. government." "The U.S. government has indeed sanctioned some ...... Enterprises with ties to the military of a particular country, but not all such enterprises will be subject to sanctions. In particular, if these enterprises can be recognized by the US military, then the US government will be tolerant of them, regardless of whether they have been involved in the production of some sensitive projects. ”

Speaking of this, he handed Qin Hai a look, which meant "you know".

"That is, if we can provide the U.S. military with a super-filter, then the U.S. military will put our group on the list of recognized so that we will not be sanctioned by the U.S. government, right?" Qin Hai asked.

"That's right, I can assure you." Fitters also heard the mystery and hurriedly said.

"We will provide our overseas equipment suppliers with a certificate that you will not be affected by various sanctions decrees." Setzler said.

"Is that so?" Qin Hai pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said, "If we knew this was the case, then we should have cooperated with the US military earlier." ”

Fitters said: "It's not too late, our procurement this time is a military procurement." ”

"It's still a little late." Qin Haidao, "Without the permission of the Chinese military, we cannot agree to your procurement requests. Otherwise, you wait a little longer, and when I return to China, I will find a relationship, contact the military, listen to their opinions, and then agree to you, what do you think? ”

"It's ......," Fitters was speechless.

But Setzler smiled and said, "Mr. Qin, as you just said, your group has a cooperative relationship with Qilin Company, and Qilin Company has close ties with the Chinese military. Can you contact the military personnel through the company and try to get their permission? ”

In Setzler's view, Qin Hai's push and push like this is just a coy gesture. Ever since he remembered that Qin Hai was the one who had gone to the United States to sell body armor, he knew that the Daqin Group would definitely not have nothing to do with the Chinese military. Qin Hai and Manager Liang went to the United States to sell body armor together, and there was a faint sense of decision in the negotiations, how could there be no military background?

Even the so-called export ban, Setzler suspected that Qin Hai himself made it up, and his purpose was naturally to use this as a reason to negotiate conditions with them. He didn't care about exchanging some interests with Qin Hai, because this kind of thing was too important for the military, and it was not impossible to make some concessions for this.

"Qilin Company?" Qin Hai patted his head as if he had just remembered this, and smiled apologetically: "If it wasn't for Mr. Setzler's reminder, I would have really forgotten about this matter." Well, I'll find out if I have any of their phone numbers and ask them to help me get in touch with someone from the military. Please stay in France for another two days, and then contact you after I have asked for instructions, what do you think? ”

"Well, we'll wait for your news." Setzler said.

When he sent the two Americans away and returned to the house, Yu Lihong asked Qin Hai in confusion: "Mr. Qin, what kind of export ban did you just say, why haven't I heard of it?" Is it because you heard that they are the US military, so you don't want to do this business with them? ”

"Who says I don't want to do this business?" Qin Hai said with a smile, "The U.S. military is stupid and has a lot of money, and doing business with them is the most interesting thing. ”

"Then what else do you have to ask for, and who do we need to ask for?" Yu Lihong asked.

Qin Haidao: "Of course, I have to ask for instructions, wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't knock such an opportunity?" By the way, Lao Yu, do you have anything you want from the US military, say it, I will take this as a condition and talk to them. (Want to know more about "Material Empire"?)
