Material Empire

Hearing what Xu Guoquan said, Xiao Weihao curled his lips and said, "Director Xu, you are overthinking. The Yankees will not become stronger because we provide them with bulletproof vests, but it is hard for us to have something better than them." Strong things, if you don’t use them quickly to make some money, it will be too bad.”

Xiao Weihao can say this kind of thing. Although he is lower than Xu Guoquan, as an official of the security system, he naturally has a sense of superiority. When these words come out of his mouth, the effect is better than that of others. much better.

Xu Guoquan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, laughed at himself, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Xiao Chu is right, my thinking is too conservative, and I almost refuted President Qin's good intentions."

Qin Haidao: "The Dutch have already developed this kind of fiber material, but they have not been able to achieve mass production. At best, we are just grabbing a time difference. It is not a technology worth keeping secret. The American military spends a lot. Buying A few bulletproof vests are just a drop in the bucket for them. But if this hair falls into our hands, it can be a big deal."

"President Qin likes to hear that. Using American military expenditures to serve China's national defense construction is a good account." Xu Guoquan thoroughly understood the key points and couldn't help laughing heartily.

The superpolymer fiber developed by Qin Hai is not the result of scientific research funded by the military. If Qin Hai did not take the initiative to contact 70X, but directly sold this fiber abroad, the military would have nothing to say, and the relevant state departments would only praise Qin Hai for his meritorious service in exporting foreign exchange, and would not think it was leaking any military information. secret.

Now that Qin Hai kindly transfers this technology to 70X Institute, so that 70X Institute can earn a little money, why would Xu Guoquan not do it? Even if this technology leaked to the United States, it has nothing to do with Xu Guoquan. Xiao Weihao is right, the military technological superiority of the United States over China cannot be changed by just a piece of body armor.

"President Qin, how much money do you think this kind of body armor can earn?" Liang Rongjian is a practical person, and what he cares most about is the amount that can be pocketed in the end.

Qin Haidao: "I don't know much about the military, so I can't estimate the size of the market. Just now I calculated for you that to make a body armor, the raw material cost is about 1,000 yuan, processing fee plus shipping fee, etc. It’s only 200 yuan. If we sell at 500 dollars, it’s equivalent to 2,600 yuan, so the profit for each piece is about 1,400 yuan. If we can sell 100,000 pieces, it’s a profit of 140 million yuan.”

"140 million?" Liang Rongjian opened his mouth wide open, unable to close it for a long time.

As the assistant to the director in charge of operations, Liang Rongjian knows 70X's family background too well. After the national appropriation has set aside the headcount and necessary scientific research investment of the whole institute, there are only a few million yuan left, which can be used for various administrative expenses in the institute. There are several tertiary industry enterprises in the institute, and they are half dead now. The leaders of the institute went to the capital to find the old leaders they are familiar with, and sold some of the civilian products produced by the tertiary industry enterprises by selling face and asking the old leaders for help. In this way, one year The profit is only a few million, which can be described as a drop in the bucket.

Who would have thought that Mr. Qin in front of him would claim to earn 140 million for his firm by developing a random product. How many zeros does the number 40 million carry?

"Boss Qin, you are talking about the ideal state." Xu Guoquan is worthy of being the director, and his concentration is much better than Liang Rongjian. After the initial shock, he began to question Qin Hai's calculation: "If this kind of body armor is sold at 500 dollars a piece, it will definitely not sell much in our country. I estimate that it can sell 1,000 pieces." It’s a miracle. According to what you said, we sold it to the US military, do you think the US military can take 100,000 pieces in one go?”

"It depends on human effort." Xiao Weihao replied for Qin Hai, "100,000 pieces is 50 million U.S. dollars. For Americans, what is it? Besides, even if there are not 100,000 pieces, even if it is 50,000 or 10,000 If Director Xu doesn’t want it, I’ll go back and ask our headquarters to take over the business.”

"Haha, Xiao Chu can't betray his friends like this." Xu Guoquan was sweating from fright. Indeed, as Xiao Weihao said, even if there were not 100,000 pieces, even 10,000 pieces would make Xu Guoquan die of laughter. If such a sweet pastry is known by people from other departments, they may really snatch it. You know, there are many units that are more powerful than 70X, and Qin Hai and 70X have no relationship or reason, so why should this benefit be given to them?

After he figured this out, Xu Guoquan didn't hesitate anymore. He asked Qin Hai about the technical details of the production of body armor, and after confirming that the tertiary production company in the institute was capable of undertaking the business, he immediately made a decision and said, "Okay, We have decided on this matter. I will report to the Science and Industry Committee immediately. As long as the Science and Industry Committee agrees, we will arrange people to go to the United States to sell bulletproof vests. Let's go together, otherwise if the other party asks technical questions, we will be caught blind."

"It's no problem, Director Xu hurry up and report." Qin Hai agreed heartily.

That night, Qin Hai planned to hold a banquet in Shuanggang Factory for Xu Guoquan and his party. Xu Guoquan firmly disagreed and insisted on being the host. He found a high-end restaurant in Jintang City to thank Qin Hai for his support for 70X Institute. Qin Hai couldn't resist Xu Guoquan, so he had to bring Ning Mo, Xia Yangjie, Chi Jian, Heizi and others to the banquet. However, Chi Jian, who was quite winking, went directly to the front desk of the restaurant to sign the bill, taking advantage of the fact that the military people were not paying attention. It is promised that no matter how much money is eaten, it will be reimbursed by the Shuanggang factory. Chi Jian is considered a respectable person in Jintang, and the restaurant owner will naturally recognize his face.

"Mr. Qin, regardless of whether this matter is successful or not, our 70X Institute will sincerely thank you. Come, on behalf of the 70X Institute, I will toast you. I've done it, you can do whatever you want."

At the banquet, Xu Guoquan held a big two-two cup filled with Wuliangye, and said to Qin Hai. With his dignity as a teacher-level cadre, being able to say something casual to a young man like Qin Hai is a testament to his sincerity.

Qin Hai quickly changed the small cup in front of him into a large one, poured the wine, stood up holding it, and said to Xu Guoquan: "Director Xu is serious, it is the duty of every ordinary person to support the construction of national defense. .This glass of wine, let me, a junior, respect the seniors on the national defense science and industry front."

"This won't work. I should be the one to respect you. I'll do it first." Xu Guoquan was about to pour wine into his mouth as he spoke.

Qin Hai stretched out one hand to hold him, and brought the cup to his mouth with the other hand, saying, "Don't dare, I'll do it first, you can do whatever you want."

Xiao Weihao stood up, smoothed things over and said, "Haha, forget it, I told you both to stop arguing. According to me, this glass of wine should be made for the joint construction of the military and the people. Let's toast together."

"Okay, for the joint construction of the military and the people!" Xu Guoquan and Qin Hai responded at the same time, then smiled at each other, and drank the wine in their glasses together. The entourages of both sides also raised their glasses one after another, and drank the first cup together.

Putting down the wine glass, Xu Guoquan took Qin Hai's hand and sat down together, put his head very close, and said in a heart-to-heart tone: "Boss Qin, if this matter can be done, you will save our whole company. I really don't It’s good to know how to thank you. I know you are a successful entrepreneur who has everything, and we want to thank you, but we can’t find a way.”

Qin Hai smiled and said, "Director Xu, please don't say that. As I said, this is what we should do. You have made so many contributions to the construction of national defense. I will share a little bit of worry for you. What is it?" ?Besides, it is also profitable for us to provide you with superpolymer fiber raw materials, so you can treat this as a kind of business cooperation."

Xu Guoquan waved his hand and said: "You don't need to comfort me, I know you are giving us the bulk of the profit. If you are willing to increase the price of fiber raw materials by 50%, or even more, there are also people who are willing to cooperate with you .You keep your profit so low, which is to contribute to us. Sigh, you said that we have accepted so many benefits from you, but how can we repay you?"

Qin Haidao: "If Director Xu doesn't dislike him, I will be satisfied if he can treat me, Xiao Qin, as a friend. In this way, when others scold me for being a profit-seeking stinky capitalist, I can at least say that I still have another student in the cutting-edge national defense department." friends."

"Who dares to scold you like that!" Xu Guoquan glared, "Who dares to say that Mr. Qin is mercenary, he is the public enemy of our entire science and engineering system, even if he goes to the ends of the world, we will find him out and teach him to be a man As for friends, I don’t think that’s enough. If you Mr. Qin don’t think I’m too old, I’ll recognize you as a brother.”

"That's what I've climbed." Qin Haixi said, "Director Xu, if you really treat me, Xiao Qin, as a brother, you must never mention the word 'Boss Qin' in the future."

"Oh? Hahaha, okay, then I'll make a big deal and call you Xiaoqin. You're not allowed to call me Director Xu, you want to call me Big Brother Xu, do you hear me?" Xu Guoquan said with a hint of alcohol.

"Of order." Qin Hai grabbed the wine bottle, filled a glass for Xu Guoquan and himself, then raised the glasses and said, "This glass of wine is for brother Xu, and I'll do it first."

"One piece at a time." Xu Guoquan also picked up the cup, drank another glass with Qin Hai, and then still held Qin Hai's hand, chattering homely, really a bit like two brothers.

Seeing the two call each other brothers there, Ning Mo and the others didn't feel anything. At best, they felt that Xu Guoquan didn't look like a high-ranking official. Liang Rongjian, Zhang Peng and other cadres from the 70X Institute were so shocked that their eyes almost fell out. In their memory, Xu Guoquan was a rather reserved and steady technical cadre. When did he acquire such a quack temperament? ?

Several book friends criticized Orange, saying that the body armor is not stab-resistant, so the plot of the previous chapter was wrongly written. Chengzi doesn't know much about this issue. After thinking about it, the chapter has already been released, and it is not easy to make major changes, so let's put it as a BUG for the time being. Thank you for your corrections, and you are welcome to continue to criticize the problems in the book.
