Chapter 322 Cooperation is possible, but those who want royalties will get away with it
After seeing off the guests from Siam, Qin Tao happened to stop by to see his wife.
“Zhengyang, do you have a house in Huating?” Qin Tao and Xu Zhengyang went to their destination. They were bored in the car and chatted with Xu Zhengyang who was driving.
Xu Zhengyang shook his head.
"The apartment I have in Huating is too small, and I plan to change it to a larger one. If you don't have a house, I will give you this small apartment."
Xu Zhengyang continued to shake his head.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Qin, you can’t discuss personal matters during work.”
Xu Zhengyang has always been very rigid. He is meticulous in everything he does and never talks about things other than work.
"You, don't be so nervous. When you become my secretary, you not only have to take care of my work, but also my life. You also have to have your own life."
“Mr. Qin, how many of those Yak-38s are left? What do you plan to do with them?”
Qin Tao sighed, this Xu Zhengyang does not consider personal issues at all, everything is about work.
This guy is planning to change the subject.
“The remaining few have not been considered yet.”
“So, can I report it to the Navy and buy these aircraft at cost?”
“What does the navy do with all this junk?”
“Deployed on certain islands, or training pilots for specialized vertical take-off and landing fighter jets for the navy.”
“Okay, whatever you want, if the Navy wants it, it’ll be $30,000 a piece.”
I don’t know what the Siamese people would think if they knew that the cost of the aircraft they purchased for US$600,000 was actually only US$30,000.
The aircraft costs US$10,000 per unit, and the AL-21F engine costs US$10,000 per unit. Including the labor cost of modification, it is US$30,000.
Qin Tao's ability to make money surprised Xu Zhengyang. He had protected many people, but usually they were important government officials. He had never come into contact with entrepreneurs like Qin Tao, let alone knew that such entrepreneurs would Such a black heart.
However, Qin Tao's actions did not disgust Xu Zhengyang, because Qin Tao used these methods on foreigners, and Qin Tao was still very generous in treating his own people.
For example, we care about his life and even prepare a house for him.
He was actually moved in his heart, but this was his job and he could not ask for anything other than the reward for his work.
The Mercedes-Benz Grand G drove into the Huating Aerospace Technology Research Institute. As soon as it entered the compound, Qin Tao was attracted by several launch vehicles.
These 6*6 chassis have the same rough appearance as Lao Maozi. Behind the cab, there is an equipment cabin more than one meter long. Behind the equipment cabin, there are six circular launch tubes.
This is the land-based version of the Hongqi-16. It seems that this anti-aircraft missile has matured, and even the Army has begun to purchase it!
Most of the vehicles are launch vehicles with round tubes. Some vehicles look ordinary, but have hydraulic cylinders on the sides that can push up the top plate. These are the radar vehicles used by land-based missiles. .
This flat panel is properly a phased array radar, but based on the current domestic technology, it is definitely a passive phased array radar. The high-end active phased array radar is still some time away from maturity.
Qin Tao walked around these vehicles and couldn't help but sigh: "With this kind of air defense system, the Army has finally become modernized. Those old-fashioned Hongqi-2s can now withdraw from the stage of history."
"Yes, our army has been looking forward to this day for a long time." On the side, an army officer said: "Now these missiles are only small batches of equipment. After the modification, the range of our army will reach 40 kilometers. Will definitely purchase in bulk.”
Although after the introduction of the Sea Sidewinder, a land-use version was also developed simultaneously, but after all, it was only a short-range air defense missile. The Hongqi-16 in front of us is already a medium-range air defense missile, and it is the weapon system that the army lacks most.
“Isn’t it easy to increase the range? Just add a booster to the back!”
"Of course not. Directly adding a booster will change the length of the missile, which is incompatible with the original model. I heard that we are currently studying reducing the weight of the missile, improving the propellant, and using these methods to increase the missile's power. In this way, the range can reach 40 kilometers without changing the length of the projectile. By adding a booster, it can reach 70 kilometers or even further."
Everyone has longing for the future.
With a range of 40 kilometers, it is the same as the Hongqi-2 medium-altitude missile, and with a range of 70 kilometers, it is even more outrageous.
“Mr. Qin, you are here.” At this moment, a voice sounded.
It’s the familiar Mr. Zhang again.
"Our Hongqi-16 seems to be very popular." Qin Tao said to Mr. Zhang: "The navy purchases, and the army also purchases in large quantities. I think our aerospace institute will definitely be able to pay a lot of holiday expenses this year."
Zhang Lao smiled and said: "Mr. Qin, your Mingzhou Group is so rich and has an air transport company, how can you still afford our holiday expenses? Besides, it is almost always cost price for the troops. If If you can sell it, you can make a lot of money!"
"Sell it? Do you want to sell the most advanced air defense system in the country? Does the superiors agree?" Qin Tao also joked: "If the superiors agree, and I sell it to you, it is not easy. Easy.”
A lot of weapons have been exported from China, usually focusing on cost-effectiveness, that is, low-end bargains. High-precision things like anti-aircraft missiles have never been exported.
Now, if the hongqi-16 can be sold, it will definitely be sold at a good price. The only question is, will the superior leaders agree?
This thing is related to national defense and security. It cannot be sold just because you want to. Generally speaking, only the previous models can be sold only when subsequent models have improved performance and have improved performance.
Wait... What did Qin Tao think of: "To what extent has our domestically produced mid- and high-altitude regional air defense missiles progressed?"
If we talk about higher performance, it is definitely not the facelift of the Hongqi-16, but the Hongqi-9!
Qin Tao also provided a lot of help in this project. He got Lao Maozi’s S-300 a long time ago, earlier than the Air Force went to purchase it. When those things are in the hands of researchers, they can inspire their ideas and allow them to better complete missile development.
"There will be a test launch soon." Mr. Zhang said: "As long as their missiles can be successfully tested, ours will be considered a low-end product and there will be no problem in foreign military sales. Moreover, we are also researching more advanced technologies. "
Things like improving the range are secondary, the important thing is electronic technology!
On the Hongqi-16 missile, semi-active radar guidance technology is currently used. However, Zhao Ling and her team have begun to launch an impact on active radar guidance technology. As long as this technology is developed, the Hongqi-16 will also have countermeasures. The multi-target strike capability is excellent, and the anti-saturation attack performance is just right.
Hence, the prototype Hongqi-16 can naturally be exported.
Qin Tao still knows very well about Zhao Ling’s research project.
He followed Mr. Zhang towards the building where the R&D was located. Before he walked in, the phone rang.
"Hey, what? The Norwegians are coming?" Qin Tao shook his head helplessly, and then looked at the nearby building.
In ancient times, there was a man named Yu who was controlling floods. He passed through his house three times but never came in. What about himself?
Of course I can’t imitate Dayu. How can a Norwegian have his own wife? I have to stay a few more days, let the Norwegians go for a few days first!
Mingzhou Shipyard.
“Director Qin, we have been here for three days. I want to know when can we see Mr. Qin?”
"I don't know about this. The person from Dazhou Company last time, Pu Douxuan, came here for several months, but he didn't see Mr. Qin." Qin Baoshan looked at the ugly foreigner in front of him: "Harlan Mr. De, Mr. Qin has many things to do every day, and you have not made an appointment in advance, so we cannot guarantee you when we can see you."
Harland was very angry: "Director Qin, on behalf of Kvaerner Company, I formally file a patent claim against your company! This is a very serious matter. Please tell Mr. Qin that there is no point in hiding! Dazhou The company has infringed on our patent and has made corresponding compensation, and so have you!"
"Hide? Mr. Harland, you think too highly of yourself. Our Mr. Qin is doing big business. Recently, he was checking the construction progress of the aircraft carrier park in Huating. Mr. Qin still cares about such a small matter in your company. If not, we are different from Dazhou Company!"
Compared to Qin Baoshan, Cong Ju’s words were even more sharp. What kind of onion is your Kvaerner company? Dare you come here and act wild? If you dare to speak rudely again, be careful to be put in a sack when you go out!
"Really? Okay, then I'll go to Huating to find him!"
Huating, Chongming Island.
This was once a place where Qin Tao converted an oil tanker into a dock. All traces of the past have disappeared. Large areas of the ground have been hardened and some houses have been built.
"Mr. Qin, your idea is really good." Qin Tao was accompanied by leaders Wang and others from Huating City. At this time, everyone was walking on the road here, looking at the buildings on both sides. It's emotion.
"Which idea? Damao Style Street?" Qin Tao said with a smile: "Actually, this is not considered creativity. Other cities also have various foreign streets. I also learned from them. We can also do this in Huating City. Yes, it's just that it can be done by other countries, but it's better not by island countries. If I see someone wearing a kimono walking on the street, even I want to curse and forget my ancestors. Alas, actually I would rather put this The aircraft carrier park can be set up in the urban area, or in Pudong, it is too desolate."
Qin Tao said it in a joking tone, but none of the leaders laughed. They were all carefully savoring the meaning of Qin Tao's words.
As for Xu Zhengyang, this bodyguard secretary who had never been born in a low-level background, felt a little moved.
Since becoming Qin Tao's secretary, he has been observing secretly. Qin Tao is a very special person. He often makes all kinds of tricks and even uses unfair means to destroy his competitors. He is not fair enough. However, Qin Tao's heart is upright, and he is never ambiguous in the face of right and wrong.
Perhaps, what this era needs is people like him!
While Xu Zhengyang was sighing, he saw several people approaching. The bodyguard's intuition made him immediately alert. When those people came within five meters, Xu Zhengyang and several other bodyguards of the leader were already there. Block those people.
“We want to see Mr. Qin!”
“We are a Norwegian company!”
“Mr. Qin, don’t be a coward!”
Other words were normal, but when he heard the word "shut-down turtle", Xu Zhengyang became rude and slapped the guy in the face.
Snapped!
Ouch!
The man was knocked down immediately. He covered his face and shouted loudly: "Hitting someone, beating someone! Why do you hit me? I want to call the police, I want to call the police!"
Looking at the translator with the same oriental face, Xu Zhengyang had a gloomy look on his face. What happened to the beating? I have a license to kill! However, he did not say these threatening words.
At this time, Qin Tao has also come over. Looking at the shouting translator on the ground, Qin Tao's eyes flashed with a cold light. No matter when, there are such people who treat foreigners as their masters and think that they can When foreigners do things, do you feel superior to others?
“Call the police? Yes, among our leaders, there is Leader Li from the Huating City Public Security System, who can accept your call on the spot.”
“Yes, I can deal with it on the spot.” Leader Li said: “This person may have ulterior motives for rushing into our team. Take him back and investigate!”
The translator was dumbfounded. When he was dragged away by two people, he shouted loudly: "You can't do this to me! I am now a translator employed by Kvaerner Company. If you do this, it will cause a diplomatic turmoil."
"Bah!" Qin Tao spat hard, and then looked at the other people, his eyes looked like they could eat people.
“Are you from Kvaerner?”
“That’s right, it’s us, the natural gas ships produced by your group, that have violated...”
Before Harland could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qin Tao: "Sure enough, your mind is full of shit."
“What, what did you say? You can’t insult me!”
“Yes, I just insulted you. Not just you, but you, you, you, all of you, your mind is full of shit, your company is a company full of shit!”
The leaders present were stunned.
The translator just cursed and said that Qin Tao is a turtle with a shrunken head, which means that he is unwilling to stick his head out and let others cut his neck. Therefore, everyone wanted to vent their anger on Qin Tao. It was the translator who spoke unscrupulously and took the lead in spouting feces.
However, what Qin Tao said is a little inappropriate, right?
Harland's face was full of anger. This was a humiliation, a complete humiliation!
"What, did I say something wrong?" Qin Tao looked at these guys with red faces: "You think you can do porcelain all over the world with a few stinky patents in your hands? Let me tell you, this is wishful thinking! Do you think you can do it all over the world? Porcelain Dazhou Company can, but there is no way for Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group to touch porcelain!"
"Damn it, you are obviously the ones..."
Harland was interrupted again by Qin Tao before he finished speaking.
"You should have already investigated. Our Mingzhou Group has purchased the French patent and will produce membrane boats in the future. So, what are you going to do? Do you want to blackmail us for a sum of money? This is totally meaningless! Do you think , can you use the same tactics you used against Dazhou Company on us?"
"We will go to the international court to sue you! Your MOSS tank natural gas ships that have been delivered to users will be refused to dock at any country's port until you compensate for the losses caused by patent infringement! In this way, no ship owner will Order ships from you again! Because you cheat ship owners!”
"International Court? Yes, we will pay a high price to hire a lawyer to accompany you." Qin Tao said: "However, if it really comes to this step, then none of our domestic ports will welcome your Kvaerner company. Patented natural gas ship!”
“What did you say? This is unfair!” Harland’s eyes widened.
Although it is not like in later generations, due to environmental protection requirements, there is a huge demand for natural gas, but the amount of domestic natural gas imports is already quite large. Natural gas ships dock at major ports in China every day, especially in big cities like Huating. Natural gas pipeline cooking has begun to become popular.
If all ports in China do not welcome the natural gas ships patented by their company, how can their company collect patent fees?
"Unfair? Why is it unfair? When you use sanctimonious reasons and rules to suppress others, is it fair? When others use the same means, is it unfair? When you have a patent, you will protect your patent. You are trying to make trouble everywhere. When someone else has a patent and it is disadvantageous to you, you will ask others to give up the patent, right? You rely on your preconception advantage to lie down and sleep to realize your high welfare, and others must be honest. Working on the ground will always be at the bottom of your industrial chain, right?"
"Well said!" Behind him, a Huating leader applauded Qin Tao: "After testing, we found that the MOSS tank natural gas ship has a safety hazard of leakage. For the safety of our port, we have temporarily banned all natural gas from Kvaerner Company. The ship is docked. We will wait for our assessment before making a decision.”
What Qin Tao just said touched everyone present.
The West relied on entering industrialization first and mastered a large number of patents. Then, they could just sit back and make money. What about their own side? We worked hard and finally gave a large amount of profits to these patent trolls!
Now, of course they have to support Qin Tao.
Harland was dumbfounded. How could these people in front of him be so unreasonable? However, he vaguely felt that if the other party really did this, it would be a big trouble for their company.
“So, I said your brains are full of shit, but you still don’t admit it.” Qin Tao continued to the next step: “There are obviously better choices, but you have to use the worst way.”
"the best choice?"
The previous insulting words were ignored by Harland. It was not the first time he heard them anyway. What he valued was the following words.
What else can they do?
"Yes." Qin Tao said: "Take Huating as an example. There are a large number of shipyards here. These shipyards are all pursuing new civilian products to expand their product lines. You have never thought about using your patents. Are you selling it to the shipyard here? Why are you just focusing on patent claims?"
Patent promotion?
Harland was a little surprised: "But we never need to promote. Our customers always come to us."
"That was before." Qin Tao said: "Times are changing, technology is advancing, and your MOSS tank technology has long been outdated. You must admit that compared with French membrane ships, your method wastes volume. The evaporation rate is high and the weight is heavy. Therefore, in the future, natural gas ships will definitely transform into membrane ships. If you don’t go door-to-door to sell them, you will make no money at all in the future.”
Looking at the eyes of the people opposite, Qin Tao smiled: "Don't believe it? Believe it or not, it's up to you. We, Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group, invented the spherical tank-type natural gas carrier ourselves, but now, we have spent huge sums of money to introduce French ones. Membrane ships are because we discovered that membrane ships are the future ship type. The future prospects of your company are definitely not optimistic. If you seize the opportunity now, you can still make a profit, otherwise in the future..."
Xu Zhengyang stood next to Qin Tao, feeling emotional as he listened to Qin Tao communicating directly with these guys in English.
With more exposure, he certainly knows how Mingzhou Group’s spherical tank natural gas ship technology came about. Under the same circumstances, Dazhou Company was tricked into bankruptcy. What about Mingzhou Company? Mr. Qin scolded the other party here, and showed them other ways.
This is the gap!
Mr. Qin is really awesome.
Qin Tao also feels that he is very powerful, especially the assists from the people around him are more effective. If it weren't for their support, Harland in front of him would probably not give in.
At this time, Harland was a little timid, and Qin Tao continued to add fuel to the fire.
"You were able to win the lawsuit in Kimchi Country because Samsung Heavy Industries and Hyundai Heavy Industries wanted Daejo Heavy Industries to go bankrupt and lose one competitor." Qin Tao continued to lie: "You have to know that China's shipbuilding industry , are twisted together. In order to avoid internal strife, we established a special shipping group. We are all prosperous and connected. The same is true for you."
“Either win-win cooperation, or complete confrontation. I believe the French will be very happy to see this situation emerge.”
Qin Tao once again carried the Frenchman out.
Sure enough, Haaland no longer had the confidence he had just now. He thought for a while and then said: "We need to contact the company headquarters about this matter."
“Go slowly without seeing someone off.”
After the Norwegians left, Leader Wang said with a smile: "Mr. Qin is so powerful, he drove away the Norwegians so easily."
“I am a fox pretending to be a tiger, borrowing the power of leaders.”
"Speaking of which, do we really want to introduce their Kvaerner company's patents? I think it would be better if we directly use the Mingzhou Group's patents, so that the money does not flow to outsiders."
“Of course we have to use our patent, but it’s not time yet.” Qin Tao said: “In the future, we can directly use our membrane boat patent.”
