Chapter Thirty-Nine: Being Preempted

Finally finished the turn, and while Gao Lin greeted other guests, Qin Chuan pulled Xiao William and Ye Ziqi to the corner. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ye Ziqi quietly told Qin Chuan that when Han En and Gao Lin came to China together, the conditions of the two were similar, but Gao Lin dared to think and dare to do it, and he soon made a fortune. And this Hann has always been worried about investment and operation, and until now he is only a small water pilot in Dagu. Although this Hann's life is not a rough one, it is also very poor, and he regrets it now, regretting that he did not listen to Gao Lin's words and partner with Gao Lin.

The waiter had a good eye to see the three of them sitting down around a coffee table in the corner, and he came over with a tray neatly, put three cups full of beer on the coffee table, and put away the empty cups of the three men.

Xiao William was a little puzzled: "Qin, it will take ten days for your goods to arrive in Tianjin, and Ye will inform you then." ”

Qin Chuan shook his hand and motioned to Xiao William to lower his voice: "William, I am not looking for you today for those goods, but I also want to set up a new factory, some equipment needs to be purchased, and I also need your help." ”

As Qin Chuan spoke, he took out more than a dozen pieces of paper full of German from his arms and handed them to Little William.

A few lists of purchased equipment, Xiao William just browsed it and handed it to Ye Ziqi, he took Qin Chuan's application for a patent for alkali production in electrolyzers, as well as Qin Chuan's patent for applying for a black silk bulb and a fountain pen, and looked at it carefully, the more excited he became, if it weren't for Qin Chuan's signal, Xiao William would almost shout again.

The fountain pen at this time was only improved by the American Waterman seven or eight years ago, but he had a shortcoming, that is, his fountain pen could not absorb ink by itself, and when there was no fountain pen water, the end of the fountain pen needed to be removed and the ink was dripped with a small dropper. Qin Chuan's invention was to add a rubber suction bag to the end of the fountain pen.

In fact, in the development of fountain pens in later generations, there is also an excessive variety, which is the piston type fountain pen that absorbs ink.

Little William tried his best to suppress his excited voice: "Qin, is this your invention again?" You're amazing, you shouldn't be a businessman, you should be the greatest inventor in the whole world. ”

Qin Chuan didn't care about William's compliments, but said directly to William: "William, I want to set up a salt factory, a soap factory, a cigarette factory, and a newspaper store, these are the equipment needed by these factories." You know, in order for soap to sell better than the soap produced by Europeans, it needs to be cheap, and in our Daqing Dynasty, this is especially important. And soap needs to use a large amount of caustic soda, now the price of caustic soda you all know, very expensive, my soap to be cheap, the most important thing is to reduce the cost of caustic soda, my invention, can greatly reduce the cost of caustic soda production, these two patent documents still need you to help me apply in Europe and the United States, commission or the old rules. ”

William Xiao's mood calmed down a little, and he thought for a while and asked: "Qin, you have an agreement with BASF that if you sell a patent, you will sell it to him first, do I want to say hello to them after applying for a patent?" ”

Qin Chuan nodded: "Yes, but I don't want to transfer this patent right now, if BASF is interested, I will give him priority in three years?" ”

"Three years? Why three years? William asked a little puzzled.

Ye Ziqi is a quiet middle-aged man, although he usually doesn't talk much, but not only is he smart, but he is also leaky when he does it.

Ye Ziqi reminded Little William with a low smile: "William, Minghong is not here to make more money for himself. If his soap was much lower than the price of soap shipped from Europe and the United States, would he make a lot of money? If you make a few more years of money, do you think Ming Hung is willing? It's best if Ming Hung can hand over his overseas soap agency to us. ”

Ye Ziqi reminded him like this, and William Xiao also reacted, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed that he didn't turn a corner, and only considered the commission for the transfer of patents.

Little William shrugged his shoulders and leaned his slender upper body towards Qin Chuan.

"Qin, how much lower do you think the price of your soap can be than the soap shipped to Tianjin from Europe and the United States?"

Qin Chuan said without thinking: "It will be five to sixty percent lower, or maybe more." ”

"Oh."

William Xiao was surprised and almost shouted, not to say that it is five to sixty percent lower, that is, forty percent lower, this Asian market will all be won by Qin Chuan, if Qin Chuan hands over the overseas agency to him, it will be a huge income.

Qin Chuan thought for a while and said: "William, it's not impossible for you to have the right to act as an overseas agent for soap, but you have to pay an agency fee, and I want an agency fee of 800,000 yuan a year." ”

Little William and Ye Ziqi exchanged glances, and Little William nodded and said, "Qin, I'll go back and think about it." Also, can you give me the agency of this colored cloth? ”

Qin Chuan shook his head and said: "Color cloth is not good, because my output will not be very high, and there will not be many overseas products every year." ”

"Why not a lot? Won't you expand production? ”

Qin Chuan smiled bitterly and said: "William, let's not discuss that issue, let's talk about this matter, you have to order these equipment as soon as possible, the sooner you arrive in Tianjin, the better, and you also have to help me hire some engineers and technicians who understand electrical and mechanical engineering in Germany, and the treatment I give is twice as high as their salary in Germany." Moreover, if you are interested, the overseas agency of that cigarette factory can be handed over to you, and we will talk about the agency fee。。。。。。 ”

Speaking of the cigarette factory, William said: "Oh, Qin, there is one thing I want to tell you, the American Charlie has come to Tianjin, and as far as I know, he is preparing to open a foreign company called Lao Jinlong in Tianjin, and he is preparing to produce cigarettes." ”

Little William's news surprised Qin Chuan. He never imagined that now the American would open a cigarette factory in Tianjin, and if this was the case, he would have one more competitor. Qin Chuan, who was a little annoyed, thought for a while and nodded.

"William, the Americans can open it, I always have to do what I want to do, it's just a big deal to have one more competitor."

Knowing that William Jr. was not interested in this cigarette factory, Qin Chuan didn't mention it anymore, but began to discuss the details of hiring German technicians with William Jr.

After getting Qin Chuan's promise, Xiao William didn't have the heart to drink here anymore, so he briefly discussed the details with Qin Chuan, and then hurriedly said goodbye to Gao Lin and pulled Ye Ziqi away.
