Chapter 185: The Benefits of Monopoly

early morning.

Chen Mo and Xiao Yu were eating breakfast in the room, and they knocked on the door. As soon as they opened the door, Zhao Min walked in in professional suits.

"Isn't it a long day off today? So dressed so formal?" Chen Mo glanced at Zhao Min, and sat back on the table for breakfast: "Would you like to be together?"

"I was born to work hard." Zhao Min said: "New Zealand's embassy has come to news. They want to discuss the purchase of seismographs."

"So fast?"

Hearing this news, Chen Mo was a little surprised.He only told reporters yesterday that the seismograph could be exported, and now it is news that New Zealand wants to buy a seismograph.

It can be seen that New Zealand can't wait to want a seismograph.But thinking about it is right, this island country, located in an earthquake zone, suffers from earthquakes every year.If it were a tsunami from a super earthquake, it would be even more terrifying.

"I'll inform you, after breakfast, do you want to go there together?" Zhao Min asked.

"What am I going to do? You are enough to discuss business matters. Let Xiao Yu go with you, and I won't join in the fun." Chen Mo said.

"Okay." Zhao Min sat on the sofa and waited quietly.

Soon, after eating breakfast, Xiao Yu Cao changed his clothes and left the room with Zhao Min.

Mai Kang looked at the time and then at the door.Yesterday Chen Mo announced that the seismograph could be exported, which is good news for them.

In the evening, news came from China, asking him to discuss the purchase of seismographs with the marching ant company.

After seeing the disaster of the island nation's earthquake and tsunami, the people in New Zealand were panicked.Geographically speaking, the two countries have similarities in that they are both located in seismic zones.

Researchers have concluded that the Hikurangi subduction zone has been divided into three sections.If the three segments break at the same time, it may cause the occurrence of a magnitude 9.0 earthquake.The study found that there are indeed faults in the third section, and it is very likely that there will be a devastating earthquake from the top of the South Island to the Gisborne Trench in the north.

Earthquakes are not the most terrifying existence. The tsunami that accompanies the earthquake is the most terrifying.

If a devastating earthquake produces a tsunami, the tsunami will reach the coastline within a few minutes, and the coastal area will become a vast ocean. Residents cannot have enough time to escape.

The seismograph appeared, let them see hope.Early warning of the earthquake will give them more time to escape.Therefore, after Marching Ant Company announced the export of seismographs, the country notified him to contact March Ant Company.

Just as the president and boss of March Ant were both in the capital, he immediately contacted him.

Seeing Zhao Min appearing, Mai Kang breathed a sigh of relief, greeted him with a smile on his face: "President Zhao, hello."

"Hello, Ambassador McCon." Zhao Min said.

"Sit down, I ordered breakfast and talked while eating."

The area around Mai Kang's right hand led Zhao Min and others to their seats.There were not many people on the court, only Zhao Min, Xiaoyu, Mai Kang, and a female translator.

"In the news, your boss said that the seismograph can be exported?" Mai Kang was straightforward and straight to the point.

"Well, we have completed domestic orders and can indeed export."

"That would be great." Mai Kang rubbed his hands, his face beaming with joy: "We do want to buy a seismograph, but the price here? Can it be lower."

After listening to the female interpreter, Zhao Min shook his head: "Sorry, Mr. McCon, the price can't be lower. The price of fifty million dollars is actually not expensive."

Zhao Min's words made Mai Kang's face twitch.

Is it not expensive?The marching ant company is clearly asking prices, and they have to pay for it.

"The quantity we ordered is relatively large, can't it be low?" Mai Kang was a bit unwilling to give up, 50 million US dollars a unit, it is not cheap for anyone.

"Ambassador McCon, seismographs are not produced in an assembly line. The large quantity does not mean that the production price will be lower." Zhao Min said: "If you need it, it is best to place an order early. Once the order is placed by another country, you have to wait for a while. Time, the price will not change."

"The price is a little more expensive, a little lower, 20 million US dollars a unit, we can place an order now." McCon said proudly.

"Sorry, Ambassador McCon. The seismograph will not be cheap. It will be sold to you for 50 million U.S. dollars, and it will be sold to the United States or island countries for 50 million U.S. dollars. The price will not change. If you insist on negotiating the price, it is just a waste of us. Time." Zhao Min said in a hurry.

"Think about it, if the earthquake early warning is an hour earlier, how many people can be saved? How much loss will be reduced? Is the human life insignificant for the money to buy a seismograph?"

After the conversation, the box fell silent, and Mai Kang's eyes flickered.Zhao Min killed the price in one bite. He was determined not to lower the price. He had no choice but to buy a seismograph from the March Ant Company.

When other countries study it, they don’t know that the year of the monkey will be the year of the monkey. The day lily will be cold by then. The earthquake is a natural disaster. No one knows when this disaster will come.

"Since Ambassador McCon needs to consider, then I will go back first. There is a meeting to consider before contacting us. But hurry up. We will go back to Binhai City this afternoon. We will contact you next time. You are going to Binhai City to find me. "After Zhao Min finished speaking, he took Xiao Yu to leave.

"Okay, look forward to our contact again."

Looking at Zhao Min's back, Mai Kang frowned and took out his phone after a while.The marching ant does not make concessions in price, and he must 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. There is no intention to let go."

"Is that so? You wait for notification first, and I will notify you when there is news."

Chen Mo was in the room when he saw Xiao Yu and Zhao Min coming in and asked, "How's the talk?"

"It's still unclear, saying that the price is too high, but they have a strong willingness to buy. Only us have the seismograph. The advantage of monopoly is how much we say is how much money." Zhao Min smiled.

"Well, how much is this order expected?"

"If New Zealand wants to cover the whole country, how many units do you need?"

"About 15 units." Chen Mo said after thinking about the area of ​​New Zealand.

"Plus they have to deploy a few on the bottom of the sea, it will cost nearly 20 units, one billion US dollars." Zhao Min said: "Our customer is a country, this kind of money, if you don't make a lot of money, I am sorry for the seismograph. "

Chen Mo smiled and nodded. If he has money, he won't be too much, and these balls come comfortably: "Do you want to stay in Beijing for two more days and wait for the New Zealand ambassador's reply?"

"No, they don't know when they can think about it. We don't need to waste time waiting. It's still the same. The plane this afternoon. When they want to talk again, they should take the initiative to contact us."

After Zhao Min left, Chen Mo also took Xiao Yu out to visit the capital, and bought something by the way.In the afternoon of the same day, New Zealand still did not reply. Chen Mo, Zhao Min and others also took the scheduled flight back to Binhai City.
