Chapter 184: The Benefits of Monopoly
Early morning.
Chen Mo and Xiao Yu were eating breakfast in the room, when there was a knock on the door, and as soon as the door was opened, Zhao Min walked in in professional suits.
"Isn't it half a day off today? Dressed so formally? Chen Mo glanced at Zhao Min, sat back on the table and ate breakfast: "Do you want to be together?" ”
"I was born to work hard." Zhao Min spoke: "The New Zealand embassy has received news that they want to discuss the purchase of seismographs. ”
"So fast?"
Hearing this news, Chen Mo was a little surprised. Yesterday he told reporters that he had announced that seismographs could be exported, and now he is saying that New Zealand wants to buy seismographs.
It can be seen that New Zealand is eager for seismographs. But it's also right to think about it, this island nation is located in the seismic zone, and the annual damage from earthquakes is not small. If it is a huge tsunami of a super earthquake, I am afraid it will be even more terrifying.
"I'm here to inform you, after breakfast, do you want to go over together?" Zhao Min asked.
"What am I going to do? When it comes to business, it's enough to have you. Let Xiaoyu come with you, and I won't join in the fun. Chen Mo said.
"Okay." Zhao Min sat on the sofa by himself, waiting quietly.
Soon, Xiao Yucao finished breakfast and changed his clothes, and followed Zhao Min out of the room.
McCann looked at the time, then at the door. Yesterday Chen Mo announced that the seismograph could be exported, which is good news for them.
That night, news came from China that asked him to negotiate with the marching ant company about the purchase of seismographs.
After seeing the devastation of the earthquake and tsunami in the island country, the people of New Zealand are terrified. Geographically, the two countries have similarities in that they are both located in seismic zones.
The researchers have concluded that the Hikurangi subduction zone has been divided into three sections. If all three sections break at the same time, it could lead to a magnitude 9.0 earthquake. The study found that there were indeed faults in the three sections, and that a devastating earthquake was likely to occur from the top of the South Island to the Gisborne Trench in the north.
Earthquakes are not the most terrible existence, but the tsunami that accompanies earthquakes is the most terrible.
If a devastating earthquake produces a tsunami, the tsunami will reach the coastline within minutes, and the coastal area will become an ocean, and the people living there will not have enough time to escape.
Seismographs appeared, giving them hope. Early warning of earthquakes gives them more time to escape. Therefore, after the marching ant company announced the export of seismographs, the country notified him to contact the marching ant company.
Just as the president and boss of the marching ant were in the capital, he immediately contacted him.
Seeing Zhao Min appear, Mai Kang breathed a sigh of relief, and greeted him with a smile on his face: "President Zhao, hello." ”
"Hello, Ambassador McCann." Zhao Min said.
"Sit down, I ordered breakfast, and we talked while eating."
Mai Kang took his right hand and led Zhao Min and others to take a seat. There were not many people on the field, only Zhao Min and Xiaoyu, Mai Kang, and a female translator.
"On the news, your boss said that the seismograph can be exported?" McCann was straight to the point and straight to the point.
"Well, we have completed domestic orders and can indeed export."
"That's great." McConn rubbed his hands, his face beaming with joy: "We do want to buy a seismograph, but in terms of the price?" Can it be lower? ”
After listening to the female translator's words, Zhao Min shook his head: "I'm sorry Mr. McCann, the price couldn't be lower." The price of $50 million is actually not expensive. ”
Zhao Min's words made Mai Kang's face twitch.
Isn't that expensive? The marching ant company is clearly asking for a sky-high price, and they have to pay for it.
"If we order a large quantity, can't it be low?" McCann is a little unwilling, 50 million dollars a piece, for anyone, is not cheap.
"Ambassador McCann, seismographs are not assembly line production, and a large quantity does not mean that the production price will be lower." Zhao Min said: "If you need to, it's best to place an order early, once the order is placed by another country, you have to wait for a while, and the price will not change." ”
"This price, a little more expensive, a little lower, 20 million dollars a unit, we can place an order now." McCaine said haughtily.
"I'm sorry, Ambassador McCann. Seismographs are not cheap, they are sold to you for 50 million dollars, and they are sold to the United States or island countries for 50 million dollars. The price will not change, and if you insist on negotiating the price, you are just wasting our time. Zhao Min said unhurriedly.
"Think about it, how many people could be saved if the earthquake warning was an hour earlier? How much loss is reduced? Is human life insignificant to the money spent on a seismograph? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the box fell silent, and McComn's eyes flickered. Zhao Min bit the price, he was determined not to reduce the price, and he had no choice, if he didn't buy the seismograph of the marching ant company, there would be no other.
When other countries study it, I don't know if it will be the Year of the Monkey, when the daylilies will be cold, and the earthquake is a natural disaster, no one knows when this kind of disaster will come.
"Since Ambassador McCann needs to think about it, then I'll go back first, there's a meeting, and I'll contact us after thinking about it. But be quick, we're going back to Binhai City this afternoon, and next time we'll be in touch, you're going to Binhai City to find me. After Zhao Min finished speaking, he took Xiaoyu and prepared to leave.
"Okay, look forward to seeing us again."
Looking at Zhao Min's back, McCom frowned, and only took out his mobile phone after half a ring. The marching ant does not make concessions on the price, and he must also contact the country to determine whether to buy or not, after all, the transaction volume is too large.
"Prime Minister, the marching ant company refused to lower the price, and killed 50 million dollars in one bite, and there was no intention of relenting."
"Is that so? You wait for the notification first, and I'll let you know when there's news. ”
Chen Mo was in the room, and when he saw Xiao Yu and Zhao Min coming in, he asked, "How was the talk?" ”
"It's not clear yet, it's still considering that the price is too high, but they have a strong desire to buy. Seismographs are the only ones we have, and the advantage of monopoly is that we say how much money is how much money. Zhao Min said with a smile.
"Well, how much is this order expected to be?"
"If New Zealand wants to cover the whole country, do you calculate, how many units are needed?"
"About 15." Chen Mo thought about the area of New Zealand and said.
"Plus how many of them are going to be placed on the seabed, and it will cost nearly 20 units, $1 billion." Zhao Min said: "Our customer is a country, this kind of money, if you don't make a handful of money, you are sorry for the seismograph." ”
Chen Mo smiled and nodded, he would not have too much money, and these balls came with peace of mind: "Do you want to stay in Beijing for two more days and wait for the reply from the New Zealand ambassador?" ”
"No, they don't know when they're going to think about it, we don't have to waste time waiting, it's still the same, this afternoon's plane. When they want to talk again, they should reach out to us. ”
After Zhao Min left, Chen Mo also took Xiaoyu out to visit the capital and buy something by the way. In the afternoon of the same day, New Zealand still did not reply to the news, Chen Mo, Zhao Min and others also took the scheduled plane and rushed back to Binhai City.
