Chapter 121: You Can Only Listen to Me

Obviously, not many of the people who spent a lot of money to buy a car and attended this charity dinner really wanted to do charity, and the purpose of their coming here was just to get a chance to talk to Cheng Yuan head-on.

This sounds ridiculous at first glance, if you want to see someone, you have to pay money to buy qualifications, outsiders don't know, and they think that Cheng Yuan is so difficult to see.

In fact, although Cheng Yuan is difficult to see, as long as he is willing to put some effort into it and be a little patient, it is not really impossible to see it, such as stopping a car halfway. However, if you meet by alternative means, or in an abnormal way, it is estimated that you will not get much sincerity from the other party, which is far from everyone's original intention, and that kind of behavior is disdainful for large companies.

In other words, the reason why these people are willing to spend a lot of money to buy a car and then participate in this charity gala is more to show an attitude, an attitude of humility and cooperation, which is similar to the kind of spending money to join the rich dinner.

Things have developed so far, and it is already quite obvious, that is, the relationship between Cheng Yuan and the Ostan Group, especially the two mysterious princesses, is definitely very close, and Cheng Yuan's right to speak can no longer be ignored.

It is precisely because of the importance of Cheng Yuan that everyone has the most sincere attitude, simply put, I will do whatever you ask me to do.

In fact, this is also an unspoken rule, that is, in the process of trading between the two parties, the weaker party should take the initiative to lower its profile, show the greatest sincerity, and use integrity, legal and moral considerations to impress or oppress the stronger party in a wholehearted manner. In today's situation, Cheng Yuan's side is obviously the strong side.

Of course, as far as Cheng Yuan himself is concerned, he also wants to take this opportunity to sell some of the resources he has mastered, such as simplified robots, as well as new nanomaterials.

Selling these things is not a capital enemy, you must know that many countries are also researching these things themselves, and if they use cheap and high-quality goods to hit their markets before they produce research results, then their research can become more profitable than they lose, or at least it can delay their research.

If they get these things to speed up their research, it won't be a bad thing, because it can improve their technological progress as a whole, and for Cheng Yuan, the higher the level of human technology, the more beneficial it will be to him, or rather, this is exactly what he wants.

However, although he has planned to open some orders for robots and nanomaterials to these people, the specific quota issue, that is, how many robots and related nanomaterials they can buy, depends on their further sincerity.

This further sincerity is undoubtedly a charitable donation.

"We have a few levels here." Cheng Yuandao, "The free donation starts at 500 million US dollars, and if you donate more than 500 million, you can be eligible to buy super carbon fiber, and the purchase volume starts at 10 tons per month." By analogy, if you donate $1 billion free of charge, you can get a quota of 20 tons of carbon fiber per month; If you donate 1.5 billion, you can buy 30 tons of carbon fiber per month; If you donate 2 billion, you can buy an additional 2 tons of graphene materials on the basis of 40 tons of carbon fiber quota every month. Then, donations are capped at $5 billion, and carbon fiber allowances are capped at 60 tonnes. A one-time donation of $5 billion can get a monthly quota of 60 tons of carbon fiber, 30 tons of fullerene and 10 tons of graphene. Of course, that's just a quota, and if you really want to buy it, you have to go to the market price. ”

Hearing Cheng Yuan's words, everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke first, because it was obvious that Cheng Yuan's appetite, or the price of the quota access card, was also a bit too big.

It's not $5, it's $500 million! Taking out this money, it is just to buy a quota qualification, and it costs an additional amount to buy those materials.

However, considering that this quota is too tempting and has a great scarcity, many companies are still quite interested, at least, it is always okay to spend 500 million to try the water first.

"I want to ask, what is the price if you just buy a robot?"

"Oh?" Cheng Yuan followed the voice and found that the person who spoke was actually someone he had known for a long time, that Joseph of Wanxi Group? Plum.

"Is that you, Joseph?" Cheng Yuan smiled, "Long time no see." ”

"Yes, Mr. Cheng Yuan, long time no see." Joseph nodded and said with a smile, "You are getting more and more imposing now, and it is getting harder and harder to see you." ”

"Laughing." Cheng Yuan smiled and waved his hand, "Then again, did you just ask about the robot?" ”

"Yes." Joseph said, "I want to ask, what is the price of the robots you showed at the beginning, if we want to buy them, and what is the purchase price?" ”

"Why, aren't you interested in the stuff I said earlier?"

"How could you not be interested." Joseph shook his head, "But it's a pity that the conditions you said are too harsh, and I can't make the decision myself, so I can only ask for instructions." Personally, I'm more interested in robots than these high-quality raw materials. ”

"I see." Cheng Yuan nodded, "Then since you asked, I will answer you." Regarding robots, the Ostan Group has completed a breakthrough in industrial production, and I believe that everyone here also understands this matter. ”

"Yes." Joseph nodded, "We have all read the news in Sweden, it is said that some time ago, the Swedish political axe planned to militarize robots and produce robot soldiers, but the people protested, and finally the political axe and the military had to stop the production of robot militarization and change to a robot police with no firearms and weapons, only rubber batons." By now, robot police have appeared on the streets of Sweden, and it has even become a new scenery in Sweden. ”

"Hehe, yes." Cheng Yuan smiled and nodded, "Robot technology is unique to the research institute under the Ostein Group, and so far, this robot has been industrialized and can be mass-produced. However, these robots are not made of composite materials such as carbon fiber, which you saw at the beginning, but simplified robots made of steel. The ones supplied to the Swedish political axes for use by the police are simplified versions of the robots. ”

"The simplified version is fine." Joseph said, "I've seen that the simplified version of the robot is nothing wrong except for the steel body, which is slightly clumsy, and as a construction robot, this steel-like robot is more suitable, because it will definitely be cheaper." ”

"That's right." Cheng Yuan nodded, "Cheapness is the biggest feature of these robots." ”

"I wanted to buy a batch, but the Swedish side wouldn't sell it." Joseph shrugged his shoulders, "They said that the ownership of the robots belongs to the Ostein Group, even if it is a robot that is a policeman, the ownership is also that of the Ostan Group, and they just hired those robots as policemen." They also said they had to pay the robot police a month, which went directly to the Ostein Group's research institute. Oh my God, hire robots to do their work, and pay them wages, really, how dare the Swedes think about it. ”

"That shows that the Swedes are more reasonable, doesn't it?" Cheng Yuan smiled.

"Perhaps." "But I'm more concerned about getting a robot than being reasonable in Sweden." The reality is that we can't buy robots in Sweden, and they have given a clear answer, so I want to ask, through you, can we buy robots? ”

Hearing Joseph say this, the others immediately pricked up their ears and waited for Cheng Yuan's reply, but Cheng Yuan didn't let them wait long, and soon said with a smile: "You really asked the right person, robot, I can indeed buy it here, or rather, from me, you can buy a license to buy a robot." ”

As soon as I heard this, everyone present began to buzz and speak, and it was obvious that there was a lot of meaning in this sentence.

But isn't it, even the Swedish political axe can't be the master, or what people won't sell, Cheng Yuan can, what does that mean? It shows that Cheng Yuan's relationship with the Ostein Group is deeper than imagined.

"So, if you buy a robot, how much does it cost?" Joseph asked again.

"It depends on what you buy." Cheng Yuandao, "So far, the Ostan Group only sells construction robots and guard robots for police or security guards, and the prices are also different. ”

"What if I buy both?"

"Construction robots are calculated according to the set, and a set of robots costs 100 million US dollars, not sold in zero; The guard robots are calculated according to the squad, a small team of 12 guard robots, a total of 12 million US dollars, an average of 1 million robots, is also not a small sale. ”

"The price is acceptable." Joseph nodded, "So, how can I buy these two robots?" ”

"It's easy, donate." Cheng Yuan smiled, "As long as you donate $100 million at a time, you can get a license to buy robots, and you can buy both robots." However, there is a limit to the number of robots that can be purchased with this $100 million license, with a maximum of five sets for construction robots and a maximum of ten squads for security robots. ”

"What if I want to buy more?"

"Then buy more licenses." Cheng Yuan said with a smile, "One license for 100 million US dollars, one license can buy five sets of construction robots and ten squads of guard robots." Repair fee and service charge are not included. If you buy more than five licenses at a time, then the purchase price of the robot can be discounted by 99%, and if you buy 10 licenses at a time, the purchase price of the robot can be discounted by 99%; If you buy more than 50 licenses at a time, you can get a 20% discount. How's that, pretty good, right? ”

“…… So if I buy a robot, can I resell it? Joseph asked again.

"Of course." Cheng Yuan nodded, "After the robot is bought, it will be your own, and what you want to do with it is your own business." ”

"What about after-sales service? How to calculate after-sales service? ”

"In terms of after-sales service, it is basically guaranteed to be repair-free for three years and replaced for one year." Cheng Yuan continued to smile and said, "After three years, you will have to pay the maintenance fee, and in addition to the maintenance fee, the parts fee is calculated separately." Well, if you buy fifty licenses at a time, within one year, you can replace the parts for free, outside of one year, within three years, the parts fee will be discounted by 20%, and after three years, the parts fee will not be discounted. ”

"The level of after-sales service is too low." Joseph complained, "Know that robot parts are consumables, especially construction robots. ”

"No way." Cheng Yuan shrugged his shoulders, "That's what they asked, if you are not satisfied, you can not buy it." My role is only to make it available to you. ”

“…… I understand. Joseph nodded.

"Any questions?" Cheng Yuan continued to ask.

"I have one more question." Suddenly, a middle-aged man dressed in Arab clothes suddenly asked.

"You must be Prince Apdullah, right?"

"Yes." The other nodded.

"It's a pleasure to see you here."

"You're welcome." Abdullah nodded, "I don't have to say anything else, I just want to ask, since they are all buying licenses for products produced by the Ostan Group, why do you have to engage in a gimmick of charitable donations, isn't this an extra move?" What's more, this kind of charitable donation is still for your Chinese education and poverty alleviation, not in Sweden, why doesn't the company in Sweden directly talk to us? ”

"That's a good question." Cheng Yuan nodded and smiled, "Actually, the real process is like this, we are the agent of the Ostan Group, we act as an agent for some of the products of the Ostan Group, and then resell this part of the products to you." So far, it seems that we are the only one who can buy and sell the products of the Ostein Group, so you can only buy them from us. Since you can only buy from us, you can only follow the rules we have set. I guess, you get the idea, right? ”

"Understood." Abdullah frowned, "However, even if this is the case, then you can just collect this money directly, why do you want to make a name for charity?" If you are afraid of paying taxes, you can have better ways to avoid taxes, such as using overseas offshore accounts, without using charity as a pretext. You must know that in your country, it is very troublesome to make charitable donations, and it is inevitable that there will be a lot of money, and things like this, using charity as a guise will reduce your reputation. ”

"Who says we're using charity as a guise?" Cheng Yuan smiled and said, "Actually, our charity activity is really about charity, not just a cover for tax exemption. ”

"Oh?" When Abdullah heard this, he officially glanced at Cheng Yuan, "In other words, is your company really going to do charity?" ”

"That's right!" Cheng Yuan nodded, and then slowly glanced at the people around him, "Everyone here is a representative of various large companies, and they all have great influence, so I held this charity party to ask you to donate in the name of the company, in addition to asking for money, I also want to use the name of your company." Because the more famous the company that donates money, the stronger the ability of this kind of charitable foundation to do things in China, which everyone must understand. ”

"Hmm." The corner of Apdullah's mouth smiled, "It seems that Mr. Cheng Yuan is very thoughtful and patriotic, and he thinks about your country and people all the time." ”

"No way, I'm Chinese first." Cheng Yuan shrugged his shoulders, "If I don't even love my own compatriots, then what qualifications do I have to talk about anything else?" ”

"But we're not Chinese." Abdullah Road.

"But I have the right to sell the products of the Ostan Group." Cheng Yuan said with a smile, "I didn't want to say it so bluntly, but since I have said this, I just want to make it clear." Let's put it this way, if you want to buy new nanomaterials such as robots and carbon fiber, you can only listen to me! (To be continued.) )
