Chapter 184: The Benefits of Monopoly

early morning.

Chen Mo and Xiaoyu were eating breakfast in the room when a knock on the door rang. As soon as the door was opened, Zhao Min walked in wearing a professional formal attire.

"Isn't it a day off today? Dressed so formally?" Chen Mo glanced at Zhao Min, then sat back on the table for breakfast: "Would you like to join us?"

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

"So fast?"

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

It was obvious that New Zealand was desperate for a seismograph. But think about it, this island country, located in the earthquake zone, suffers a lot of losses from earthquakes every year. If it is a 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 together?" Zhao Min asked.

"What am I going to do? Talking about business, it's enough to have you. Let Xiaoyu go over with you, and I won't join in the fun." Chen Mo said.

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

Soon, Xiao Yu hastily finished his breakfast and changed his clothes, and followed Zhao Min out of the room.

McConne looked at the time, then looked 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, asking him to negotiate with the Army Ant Company about purchasing a seismograph.

After seeing the disaster of the earthquake and tsunami in the island country, the people of New Zealand were panicked. Geographically, the two countries are similar in that they are located in seismic zones.

Researchers have concluded that the Chikurangi subduction zone has been divided into three segments. If the three segments break at the same time, it may lead to the occurrence of a magnitude 9.0 earthquake. The study found that there is indeed a rupture in the third segment, and it is likely to usher in a devastating earthquake from the top of the South Island to the Gisborne Trench in the north.

Earthquakes are not the most terrifying existence, but the tsunami that accompanies earthquakes is the most terrifying.

If a devastating earthquake produces a tsunami, the tsunami will reach the coastline within minutes, and the coastal area will become a sea, and the people living there will not have enough time to escape.

The seismograph appeared,

Let them see hope. With early warning of earthquakes, they can get more time to escape. Therefore, after the Army Ant Company announced that the seismograph was exported, the country notified him to contact the Army Ant Company.

As the president and boss of Army Ant were in the capital, he immediately contacted them.

Seeing Zhao Min appear, McCon was relieved, and greeted him with a smile on his face: "President Zhao, hello."

"Hello, Ambassador McCon." Zhao Min said.

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

In the area on the right hand of McCon, Zhao Min and others were seated. There were not many people on the field, only Zhao Min, Xiaoyu, Mai Kang, and a female translator.

"In the news, your boss said that the seismograph can be exported?" McCon took it straight to the point.

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

"That's great." McCon rubbed his hands together with a look of joy on his face: "We do want to buy a seismograph, but the price here? Can it be lower?"

After listening to the female translator, Zhao Min shook her head: "Sorry, Mr. McCon, the price cannot be lower. The price of $50 million is actually not expensive."

Zhao Min's words made McCon's face twitch.

Isn't that expensive? The Army Ant Company is clearly asking for sky-high prices, and they have to pay for it.

"The quantity we ordered is relatively large, can't it be low?" McCon was a little unwilling to give up. Fifty million dollars a set is not cheap for anyone.

"Ambassador McCon, seismographs are not produced on an assembly line, and a 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 other countries, you will have to wait for a while. Time, the price will not change.”

"This price is a little more expensive, a little lower, 20 million US dollars a set, we can place an order now." McConnell said proudly.

"Sorry, Ambassador McCon. Seismographs won't be cheap. It's $50 million to sell to you, and $50 million to sell to the U.S. or an island country. The price won't change. If you insist on negotiating the price, you're just wasting us. time." Zhao Min said in a hurry.

"Think about it, how many people could be saved if the earthquake early warning was an hour earlier? How much would the losses be reduced? Are human lives insignificant compared to the money to buy a seismograph?"

As soon as the words were over, the box fell into silence, and McCon'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 the seismograph from the Army Ant Company.

When other countries research it, they don't know if it will be the year of the monkey and the month of the horse. By then, the day lily will be cold. Earthquakes are natural disasters, and no one knows when this kind of disaster will come.

"Since Ambassador McCon needs to think about it, I will go back first, there is still a meeting, and then I will contact us after thinking about it. But hurry up, we will go back to Binhai City this afternoon, and contact me next time. You are going to Binhai City to find me. ." After Zhao Min finished speaking, she took Xiao Yu and prepared to leave.

"Okay, look forward to our contact again."

Looking at Zhao Min's back, McCon frowned, and after a while, he took out his phone. The army ant does not make concessions on the price, and he must contact the country to determine whether to buy it or not. After all, the transaction volume is too large.

"Prime Minister, the Army Ant Company refuses to lower the price. It bites to death $50 million in one bite. There is no intention of letting go."

"Is that so? You wait for the 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, he asked, "How was the talk?"

"It's not clear yet. It's still under consideration that the price is too high, but they have a strong willingness to buy it. Only we have the seismograph. The advantage of monopoly is how much money we talk about," Zhao Min said with a smile.

"Well, how much is this order estimated to cost?"

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

"About 15." Chen Mo said after thinking about the size of New Zealand.

"In addition, they have to deploy a few units on the seabed, which will cost nearly 20 units and $1 billion." Zhao Min said: "Our customer is a country, and this kind of money, if you don't make a lot of money, will be sorry for the seismograph. "

Chen Mo nodded with a smile. If he has money, he will not think too much, and these balls come with peace of mind: "Would you like 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 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 Xiaoyu out to visit the capital and bought something by the way. In the afternoon, New Zealand still did not reply, Chen Mo, Zhao Min and others also took the scheduled plane and rushed back to Binhai City.
