Chapter 549: Isn't There a First Time for Everything?
This answer shocked Alden for a long time.
Because when he first heard Zhong Bai's explanation, he thought it was ridiculous.
But if you think about it carefully, what the other party said is not unreasonable.
Europe's prejudice against China is not a matter of a day or two, and Europeans' prejudice against Chinese is not to mention.
At least from his own experience, before the successful application for patent No. 3702, did he Alden have any trust in Zhong Bai who came from afar?
No!
Only after Zhong Bai slapped the two engineers in the face on the spot with photos and data, Alden knew that the young translator on the table actually had great skills!
So what about switching to what Zhong Bai just said?
The answer is the same.
Before there is any precedent, no matter which mining company in a developed European country will not believe the so-called "expert exploration team" of Huaguo, and this must be proved by the appearance of another "Zhong Bai"!
But here's the problem, we all know that the first appearance is very important, but who dares to give the Huaguo expert exploration team this precious first time?
Without results, there is no trust, but without trust, there is no achievement!
It's an endless loop, with no solution.
That's why we need to guarantee this link.
Not to mention Europe, looking at the world, the Swiss Patent Office is also a well-known golden signboard.
Their churn rate is low because the Swiss Patent Office always talks the talk!
The Swiss Patent Office has never done the guarantee business, and the risk naturally exists.
But isn't there a first time for everything?
If nothing else, a year ago, you told Alden that "you will personally sign a personal patent of a Chinese and earn a lot of benefits from it", I'm afraid Alden will laugh, right?
But, I'm sorry, this became a fact after all.
Moreover, the follow-up company patents once again made the Swiss Patent Office reap a lot of benefits, and Alden himself went one step further and became the first deputy director.
Now, Zhong Bai, the initiator of all this, has thrown out a new topic, do you dare to gamble again?
After figuring out the above causes and consequences, Alden's confused eyes slowly became clear.
Finally, he took a sip of the cappuccino in the cup, nodded and said, "I promise to vouch, but ...... How does it work? Let me sign it personally? I'm afraid it won't work, right? β
"Quite simply, this is not done on a person-to-person model, but on a public-to-public basis." Zhong Bai had already thought of a specific plan in his mind: "I will find a way to contact our Chinese Ministry of Geology and ask their geological exploration expert team to sign a guarantee treaty with your Swiss Patent Office." β
"Ministry of Geology...... A team of geological exploration experts? Alden muttered, "This doesn't seem to be the same department as your industrial system, does it?" β
"Not really, but I have acquaintances." Zhong Bai put down a sentence: "In short, there will be eyebrows in the next two days, and when the news from my side is good, you also need to discuss it with Director Luca of the Ministry of Industry led by you, and in addition, you may need to communicate with the Swiss Patent Office in advance." β
"Director Luca doesn't need it, he originally came to China for a trip this time." Facing Zhong Bai, Alden obviously didn't need to make any cover-up: "As long as the expert exploration team you contacted does have the authorization of your Chinese Ministry of Geology, I can sign a contract at any time, and report to the bureau when I return to China afterwards." β
Nani?
Does Alden still have the power to cut before playing?
Seeing that Zhong Bai was a little surprised, Alden didn't care about explaining more: "In our Swiss Industrial Bureau, each deputy director has a certain authority, as long as this matter can be successful, I will report afterwards, and the director will not say anything, but is optimistic." After all, there are more sources of commissions in the bureau, and everyone can benefit from them, right? β
Zhong Bai didn't know how they worked internally, but since Alden, as the first deputy director, had said so, what reason was there not to push it quickly?
"In two days, we will find a chance to go to Tiandu." Zhong Bai smiled and said: "This kind of signing, it's best to change places, so as not to affect Director Luca's mood in China, isn't it?" β
β¦β¦
In the following time, as Alden said, on the first day, Director Luca, accompanied by officials at all levels, carefully visited the production, quality inspection and warehousing links of Huaxi Machinery Factory, and made an appearance close to the grassroots and asked many professional questions.
But from the next day, Luca couldn't sit still, he, the director of the operation bureau, actually has a great reputation to the outside world, but his actual power is not great, and it can even be said that compared with the head of the Swiss patent office, he has to look at the other party's achievements and eyes.
As a result, it became a so-called "investigation" itinerary around Sanqiao and even around Chongqingβin addition to visiting some industrial enterprises recommended by local officials that may produce patents, he also spent a lot of time at the scenic spots in various cities to "appreciate the local cultural scenery".
This kind of "investigation" of the combination of virtual and real, local officials are naturally optimistic, if you are in the Tiantian Tmall factory, it is really miserable!
Zhong Bai, together with Deputy Director Alden and one of his entourage clerical staff, took a plane to Tiandu on the third day after "informing" Director Luca and Director Qi Xiu in advance!
The reason given on the surface is that Director Alden and Consul Hartz of the Swiss Consulate in Tiandu are good friends, and they need to take two days to visit each other, after all, China and Switzerland are so far apart!
β¦β¦
Cui Zhenchuan, an exploration expert from the Ministry of Geology, got off the plane and immediately took a taxi: "Master, go to the Swiss Consulate in Tiandu!" β
The scenery outside the window kept passing by, but Cui Zhenchuan had no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery.
Until now, others have been on the ground of Tiandu, and they still feel that all this is a bit unreal.
That's right, two days ago on the morning, a phone call suddenly came to his office, and at that time, he was only half a day before he went to Shonan Province to attend a professional conference.
But after hearing the familiar and impressive voice on the phone explaining his intentions, Cui Zhenchuan became excited!
"I hope you will lead a team of exploration experts to participate in the exploration of new bauxite mines in some European countries."
"We have enough time and enough partners to work with, and this is a great opportunity."
"There is also the Swiss Patent Office as a guarantee in the middle, and I believe that this time we will be able to achieve good results."
"No, no, no, this is not just a study, our geological exploration capabilities are no worse than those of developed countries, and I also hope that you can make your European counterparts sigh!"
