Cui Hongchun's last sentence made Qin Hai laugh. A dignified deputy minister said bold words for a long time, and at a critical time, he actually dropped the chain, which makes people embarrassed.

However, Qin Hai can understand Cui Hongchun's difficulties, don't look at his high position, it is very difficult to use a little foreign exchange quota, let alone for unconventional projects such as applying for patents abroad. Qin Hai cried poverty to Cui Hongchun, in fact, it was not to let Cui Hongchun solve the foreign exchange quota for him, but to pave the way for his interception of foreign exchange in advance.

Qin Hai used the overseas branch established in Spain with Chen Hongcheng to apply for the patent application of the thermal spraying process and the thermal spraying machine. The main purpose of setting up this branch was to launder money, to be exact, to launder a part of foreign exchange.

In the past year or so, Chen Hongcheng's Red Sea Company has sold special steel produced by the Pingyuan Iron and Steel Plant to overseas branches at low prices, and the recovered foreign exchange has been handed over to the state foreign exchange administration department in accordance with regulations, and converted into the equivalent of renminbi. The overseas branch sells this part of the special steel to Leonardo, an agent in Spain, at the agreed price, and part of the foreign exchange obtained is exchanged for raw materials and shipped back to China, and the other part is left in the account of the branch to deal with various transactions that require foreign exchange.

Over the past year or so, Chen Hongcheng has used these intercepted foreign exchange to purchase a lot of electrical appliances and other luxury goods from overseas, and sold them at a high price in China, earning tens of millions of profits, and has stepped into the door of the domestic rich club with one foot. Qin Hai disdained to make money for buying and selling high-end consumer goods, because earning this kind of money was essentially transfusing blood to foreigners. What he wants to do is to pan for gold overseas and use technology to get foreigners' money into the pockets of Chinese.

At the beginning of the cooperation with Chen Hongcheng, Qin Hai had a very clear benefit distribution agreement with him. The majority of the foreign exchange intercepted overseas belongs to Qin Hai. Chen Hongcheng used only a small part of what belonged to him. This time, in order to engage in the thermal spraying process, Qin Hai spent more than 100,000 US dollars in foreign exchange, part of which was used to purchase equipment accessories and materials that could not be provided in China, and the other part was used to apply for various patents.

At that time, the Chinese people had a very shallow understanding of patents, and they did not know that there were various famous names in the patents. Take thermal sprayers, for example. In addition to the whole machine needs to apply for a patent, the key components also need to apply for a patent, so that even if others modify the design of the whole machine, they cannot get around the patent threshold. As a traverser, Qin Hai's awareness in this regard is much stronger, and he himself did not have the opportunity to go abroad, so he entrusted Chen Hongcheng to find several well-known patent firms overseas to handle various patent application matters, and the commission paid for this was also quite considerable.

All this money. Of course, Qin Hai can't let the Ministry of Agriculture pay, but he needs to give Cui Hongchun a preventive shot first, so that when he sells thermal spraying machines to foreign countries in the future, he can tacitly leave some foreign exchange without worrying about the "relevant departments" to investigate.

Li Linguang's report ended in a warm applause, and then Yue Kun came on the stage, and the main content of his speech was about the design ideas of thermal spraying machines. These have so far been technical secrets. But once thermal sprayers are on sale, there is no secret to these ideas. Yue Kun is now making these design ideas public. It can dispel the doubts of the participating merchants about the thermal spraying machine, and can play an excellent advertising effect on Qinhai's sales of this equipment.

Yue Kun's report was just halfway through, and the audience was already agitated, and at first, just a few people leaned over and slipped out of the venue, giving people the feeling that they couldn't hold back and wanted to go for convenience. When people notice that more and more people are going out and very few are coming back. More people began to realize and got up and left the table.

These people have been sensitively aware of the opportunities and challenges that thermal spraying brings to their own enterprises, and they must find the Chinese in the first place in order to get such equipment before their peers.

"Hey, hey. Bob, you go and report to the president right away, we have to get this equipment in the shortest possible time, we have to improve our bearings with thermal spraying process! ”

"Tom, listen to me, Chinese set a very high threshold for patents, and it is impossible for us to come up with a replacement product in a short period of time, so we can only order it from Chinese, as for the price...... Think about how profitable it would be if our drill bits could last twice as long! ”

"Send money right away, damn it, Chinese said, you have to pay a deposit before you can queue up, yes, it's just queuing, you have to wait at least three months to get the equipment, or even ...... One year! ”

More than a dozen international long-distance telephones set up by the exposition service office were quickly occupied by the people who ran out, and they reported to the headquarters in a fierce tone what they heard at the venue, and demanded that the headquarters immediately make a decision to purchase thermal sprayers. Although the Chinese side only showed the effect of thermal spraying treatment on the basic parts of agricultural machinery, manufacturers in other industries have the insight to draw inferences from one another, and they know that the real use of this process is definitely not in the agricultural machinery industry, but in the fields of mechanical processing, oil drilling, construction machinery, etc., the market size of these fields is much larger than that of agricultural machinery.

In addition to the businesses, media reporters also rushed to add to the chaos, occupying the telephones and reporting to their respective news agencies about the heavy technology news they had just learned. Some of the more fast-moving media outlets have already sent out the news, and these news have caused companies that have not sent people to São Paulo to notice the effects of thermal spraying, and countless phone calls have begun to come to São Paulo in reverse.

The liveliest place was the booth of the Chinese delegation. At the beginning, Cui Hongchun was worried about money and was reluctant to rent a large venue, and this meeting showed problems. The swarm of customers surrounded the booth on three floors and three layers outside, and the people outside wanted to squeeze in, but the people inside did not have the slightest sense of giving up their positions. Just kidding, anyone can imagine that the number of Chinese artificial thermal spraying machines will not be too much, and whoever grabs it first will be able to take the lead. The value of this new process is visible to anyone with a discerning eye, who wants to give up the opportunity to others at this time?

Seeing this situation, Qin Hai couldn't sit down anymore. He said goodbye to Cui Hongchun, slipped off the podium, ran back to the Chinese booth, and began to direct everyone to receive customer inquiries.

"This is the appearance and main performance indicators of the thermal sprayers we currently produce, which you can refer to. This time, we are bringing the basic parts of the exhibition. All are treated with this model of thermal sprayer, and the quality is completely credible. ”

Before setting off from China, Qin Hai had printed thousands of copies of the promotional materials of the "Haijie brand" thermal spraying machine, which had been pressed at the bottom of the box a few days ago and was not taken out. It's finally time to start dispensing. Leng Yuming, Liu Shuo and others who stayed at the booth all came forward to help, and they were handing out leaflets while answering customers' questions one after another.

"Yes, yes, we are pricing globally, and the FOB price at Pujiang Port is $2.2 million per unit. Sorry, there's really no room for a discount on this price......"

"We're sorry, but we don't have overseas distribution points yet, so if you want to see a prototype, you can only go to China. Yes, we have our contact details on this document......"

"Sorry, we can't provide stock right now, and the earliest orders won't ship until October......"

Although the most common thing that popped out of the translators' mouths was "Sorry", there was no real apology on the faces of Qin Hai and others. Haijie is the only company in the world that can provide thermal spray machines, and it is clear that the thermal spray process will soon become a global trend at this time. The seller is the real God, who cares if the buyer is happy or not?

There are two ways to register your purchase intentions at the booth. One is to leave the name of the company and contact information, and the other is to directly pay a deposit of 100,000 US dollars in advance and transfer the money into the account opened by the Chinese delegation. Qin Hai told everyone who came to consult that customers who take the latter method will be given priority to get the supply, and as for those who are not willing to pay a deposit, then wait slowly. There will always be a machine, but the time is not guaranteed.

"Why is there such a mess here?" Cui Hongchun also returned to the booth at some point. It turned out that the report meeting had ended in a hurry, and there was only a group of scholars left in the venue surrounding Li Linguang, Yue Kun, Lu Tengberg and others for academic exchanges, and Cui Hongchun brought everyone else back to help.

Looking at this crowded scene, Cui Hongchun was happy. And a little jealous. The hot sales of thermal spraying machines are a good thing, but unfortunately this achievement cannot be counted in the name of the Ministry of Agriculture in any case.

"It would be nice if the hot-selling product wasn't a thermal sprayer, but a tractor, a seeder, or something like that." Taking advantage of Qin Hai's lack of attention, Cui Hongchun muttered to Zhu Detai, Zhou Hongwen and others in a low voice.

Zhu Detai echoed with regret: "This Xiao Qin is really capable. Pounding such a thing makes foreigners go crazy. Alas, it's a pity that he is not from our agricultural machinery system. ”

"Isn't he from Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory?" Zhou Hongwen asked in surprise.

"Can Qingfeng Factory still tolerate a great god like him? You haven't seen the thermal sprayer he made, and the brand he played is Haijie. What kind of Haijie company, I asked people to inquire, it is a private enterprise run by Xiao Qin and a few people, but it has some relationship with the Machinery Committee in name. Cui Hongchun said.

Zhou Hongwen sighed: "It's actually Xiao Qin's own company, and the young people now are really capable." ”

Cui Hongchun waved his hand and said, "Anyway, we have to hold on to him and let him contribute more to us." ”

"yes, you have to bite him!" Zhu Detai and Zhou Hongwen said in unison. (To be continued......)

PS: Some students criticized Orange and said that some of the recommended books are not appetizing. Let's explain it a little here, there are two situations for orange to push the book, one is that it looks good, so it pushes; The other is entrusted by a friend. In the latter case, the quality of the books may be uneven, but there is no way, after all, everyone is the author, and sometimes it is appropriate to help each other.

Since it's a recommendation, it's not good to favor one over the other, you can't help people push the book, and you have to say that other people's books are not so durable, which is not appropriate.

There is a book below, to state it, it was read by Orange himself, not by others, interested students can try it.

"Rebirth of the explosive electronics industry": The title of the book is too vulgar. is written about those things in Huaqiangbei, the author obviously has a very deep understanding of this industry, and the plot written is lifelike, quite a bit of business war.
