A deal of tens of millions of dollars a year is not a trivial matter, Qin Hai thought that his ability to understand commercial contracts was limited, for fear that Mordecon and Schlosser would get some trap to put him in, and it would be troublesome. With Xiao Weihao's help, he invited a secretary who was proficient in contract law from the Chinese Embassy in the United States, and went to Downer Company with him, and after a day of repeated deliberation, the contract was finally signed.

According to the terms of the contract, Haijie will exclusively provide the new headphone diaphragm to Downer at a price of $380 a set, and Downer promises to purchase no less than 100,000 sets per year, with a total contract period of three years. After the expiration of the period, the two parties can re-sign a new cooperation agreement according to the development of audio material technology at that time.

Of course, Modeken didn't just listen to the sound effect of the headphones sent by Qin Hai and made such a heavy decision, the day before he signed the contract, he had already organized a group of experts to identify the diaphragm provided by Qin Hai overnight. Among them, several audio experts have auditioned the headphones assembled by Donner using the new diaphragm, and agreed that the new diaphragm has more than 50% stronger ability to restore sound than other existing diaphragms on the market, and has a good market application prospect.

Several other materials experts studied the material of the new diaphragm and came to the conclusion that they only knew that the diaphragm was made of a new type of fiber material, but that they could not decipher the chemical composition of the fiber material. According to their estimates, it will take at least 3 years for competitors to use these diaphragms to roll out their production processes.

The contract is signed. The embassy secretary who came to help resolutely declined Qin Hai's invitation to invite him to dinner, and also refused the $1,000 commission that Qin Hai had forced into him, and then left in a hurry. Qin Hai had no choice but to think about asking Xiao Weihao to send some benefits to the embassy another day, at least he couldn't let the family help him in vain.

Although the embassy secretary left, a banquet was held to celebrate the signing of the contract. On Qin Hai's side, in addition to Ning Mo and Yu Haitao, Xiao Weihao and other three people were also invited to participate. On the Donner's side were Modeken, Schlosser, Wynant, and several other related employees.

"Mr. Qin, can you sue me now, how did you come up with the idea of developing such a charming diaphragm?" After three rounds of drinking, Mo Diken pulled Qin Hai desperately to get close.

Qin Hai said with a smile: "Our company is a professional material technology company. Diaphragm materials also fall under the category of materials. Of course we do. ”

"You're saying that as long as it's a material, your company will get involved?" Modeken heard a kind of confidence from Qin Hai's words, of course. It can also be said to be arrogant.

Qin Haidao: "As long as there are materials with market prospects. We'll all consider dabbling. The acoustic diaphragm is just a small product that we have developed. The annual output value of tens of millions of dollars is only a small part of our group's business. ”

Qin Hai said. At least for now, it is bragging, Daqin Group's current steel, chemical materials, ceramics and other businesses, a year's output value converted into US dollars, that is, about 300 million, the sound diaphragm can do tens of millions, in the entire group's business is also very considerable. However, Qin Hai expects the future development scale of the group to reach billions or even tens of billions of dollars, and the diaphragm is indeed not a big product at that time.

Mo Diken was frightened by Qin Hai's words, he was silent for a while, and asked, "So, will you further develop better diaphragm materials in the future?" As you know, this diaphragm material will only maintain its technical advantage for 2 to 3 years, and your competitors will soon be able to imitate it. ”

"I think we'll continue to invest in diaphragm materials." Qin Hai gave Modeken an affirmative answer.

The diaphragm material can be sold at such a price, which Qin Hai did not expect, he has already planned, after going back, let Haijie Company set up a special audio material research department, and invest millions of dollars every year to engage in research in this field. I really can't do it, so I will hand over part of the research content to Anhe Institute of Materials. In short, such a market, he is not going to give up.

"What other materials do you have besides diaphragm materials?" Wynant interjected.

Qin Haidao: "What we are currently researching, as well as speaker shell materials, audio wire materials, if the research is successful, I believe it will also be able to impress the audio industry." ”

"Downer wants to be the exclusive user of these results." Modicon said without hesitation. He saw Qin Hai's technical strength from this new diaphragm, and he believed that if Qin Hai developed other audio materials, it would definitely be very good.

"If you can give us a reasonable price, I think of course we would be more willing to work with old friends." Qin Hai said with a smile.

Qin Hai knew from Qiao Zihe that Downer Company is one of the top three high-end audio equipment manufacturers in the United States, and if it can form a long-term cooperation with Downer Company, then the audio materials developed by Haijie Company will not have to worry about no sales. Compared with finding a partner again for each development result, Qin Hai is of course more willing to identify a partner, which may not be able to obtain the excess profit brought by the bidding, but the transaction cost is low, which can ensure a stable source of profits.

Thinking that it was possible to get more audio materials from Qin Hai, so that the product grade of Donner Company could reach a new level, Mordeken was open-minded and frequently toasted to Qin Hai, just to imitate the habits of the Chinese and make a blood alliance with Qin Hai.

After drinking for a while, Schlosser pointed to Liang Rongjian and the others at the same table, and asked Qin Hai, "Mr. Qin, are they all employees of your company?" How do I feel that they seem to have a bit of a military temperament. ”

"Really?" Qin Hai couldn't help but secretly admire Schlosser's eyesight, however, he would not reveal the identities of Liang Rongjian and the others, but just covered up and said: "They are my partners, not soldiers." As for their military temperament, it is because they are all veterans, and they still have the style of the army. ”

"I see, what kind of business are they here for?" Schlosser asked again.

Qin Hai thought about it for a while, and felt that the body armor business was not something that needed to be kept secret, so he replied: "They came this time to negotiate with the US military about the sale of body armor. ”

"Procurement of body armor from the US military?" Schlosser obviously misunderstood what Qin Hai meant.

Qin Hai shook his head and said: "No, they want to sell a new type of body armor to the US military, which uses a new type of material that is different from Kevlar." ”

Hearing the word material, Modiccan remembered Qin Hai's words just now, and asked keenly: "Mr. Qin, if I'm not mistaken, the new type of material you said is also from your company, right?" ”

"Exactly." Qin Hai smiled, "But we are only a manufacturer of a fiber material, and as for what products they make with this fiber material, it has nothing to do with us." Our company does not deal with the military. ”

Qin Hai must emphasize this issue. He knows that there will still be good friction between China and the United States in the coming decades, and the U.S. government will often investigate or sanction some Chinese companies in the name of "having ties to the military." He did not let the Daqin Group get involved in the production of body armor in order to avoid getting involved in such troubles in the future. As for Liang Rongjian's Qilin Company, it was originally a leather bag company under the name of the military, and whether it will be sanctioned by the United States in the future is not something that Qin Hai needs to care about.

"Do Mr. Mordeken and Mr. Schlosser have any friends in the U.S. military? Can you get in touch with us? Liang Rongjian listened to Qin Hai's chat next to him, and when he heard that the topic involved him, he couldn't help but ask. He didn't know what the outcome would be on the side of the Army Materiel Command, so he was anxious to find a new way to sell body armor.

Schlosser shook his head and said, "I don't have much to do with the military, and the military has its own lawyer for lawsuits, and they usually don't ask us to provide services for them." ”

"Oh...... That's a shame. Liang Rongjian said stupidly.

"But ......" Schlosser rolled his eyes and asked Liang Rongjian with a smile: "If Mr. Liang wants to sell body armor, why does he have to look for the military?" ”

Liang Rongjian was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "If you don't look for the military world, who else can you find?" ”

"The Department of Justice, the FBI, and many other departments need to be equipped with body armor, and they spend much more generously than the military," Schlosser said. In addition, the American people also need body armor, and you should know that the United States is a country that does not ban guns......"

"Oh, why didn't I think of that?" Liang Rongjian patted his head. The police also need body armor, which he can think of, but the American public's demand for body armor is actually very large, and he is constrained by the experience of living in China, and he completely forgets that the United States is a country with 200 million guns. Living in such a country, isn't body armor a must-have commodity for living at home?

"Mr. Schlosser, you are a lawyer, and you should be familiar with the Department of Justice, the FBI, etc., right? Can you help Mr. Liang pull the strings? Qin Hai asked for Liang Rongjian.

Schlosser pretended to be reserved and said: "I do have some dealings with them, but there are still some difficult things to sell body armor......

Qin Hai immediately understood Schlosser's hint and said, "Mr. Schlosser, we all know that these things are difficult, if you can help Mr. Liang and them contact these departments, I think Mr. Liang should be very happy to pay you a commission." You see, is the 1.5% commission appropriate? ”

"If that's the case, then I'll try it first." Schlosser happily agreed. (To be continued......)
