Chen Mo and Xiao Yu were having breakfast in their room when there was a knock on the door, and as soon as the door opened, Zhao Min walked in wearing formal attire.

"Didn't you rest for half a day today? Dressed so formally?" Chen Mo looked at Zhao Min, and sat back at the table to eat breakfast: "Do you want to come together?"

"I'm a hard worker by nature." Zhao Min said, "The New Zealand embassy has received news that they want to discuss the purchase of seismographs."

"So fast?"

Hearing this news, Chen Mo was a little surprised.He only announced to reporters yesterday that the seismographs could be exported, and now the news comes that New Zealand wants to buy seismographs.

It can be seen that New Zealand is desperate for seismographs.But it's right to think about it. This island country is located in an earthquake zone, and the losses caused by earthquakes every year are not small.If it is a super earthquake tsunami, I am afraid it will be even more terrifying.

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

"What am I going to do? You are enough to talk about business. Let Xiaoyu 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, Xiao Yucao hurriedly finished her breakfast, changed her clothes, and followed Zhao Min out of the room.

McCoy looked at the time, then at the door.Chen Mo announced yesterday that the seismograph can be exported, which is good news for them.

That night, news came from China asking him to negotiate with Marching Ant Company about purchasing a seismograph.

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

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

Earthquakes are not the most terrifying existence, but the tsunamis that accompany earthquakes are the most terrifying.

If a devastating earthquake generates a tsunami, the tsunami will reach the coastline in a few minutes, and the coastal area will become a vast ocean, and the people living there will not have enough time to escape.

The seismograph appeared, giving them hope.Early warning of earthquakes gives them more time to escape.Therefore, after Marching Ant Company announced the export of the seismograph, the country notified him to contact Marching Ant Company.

Just as the president and boss of the army ants were in the capital, he contacted him immediately.

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

"Hello, Ambassador McCang." Zhao Min said.

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

Around Mai Kang's right hand, Zhao Min and others were seated.There were not many people on the field, only Zhao Min, Xiao Yu, Mai Kang, and a female translator.

"On the news, your boss said that the seismograph can be exported?" McConnell said straight to the point.

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

"That would be great." McCon rubbed his hands, with a happy expression on his face: "We really want to buy a seismograph, but the price here? Can it be lower."

After listening to the female translator, Zhao Min shook her head: "I'm sorry Mr. Mai Kang, the price cannot be lowered. The price of 5000 million US dollars is actually not expensive."

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

This is not 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 is a little bit unwilling, and 5000 million US dollars is not cheap for anyone.

"Ambassador Mai Kang, seismometers 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, you'd better place an order early. Once an order is placed by other countries, you will have to wait for a while. Time, price will not change."

"This price is a little bit more expensive, but it's a little lower. We can place an order now for 2000 million US dollars." McConnell said proudly.

"Sorry, Ambassador McCoy. The seismograph won't come cheap. It's $5000 million for you. It's $5000 million for the United States or an island country. The price won't change. If you insist on negotiating the price, you're just wasting our time .” Zhao Min said without haste.

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

As soon as the words were finished, the box fell into silence, and McConnell's eyes flickered.Zhao Min bit the price to death, determined not to lower the price, and he had no choice but to buy the seismograph from Marching Army Ant Company, and there would be no other.

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

"Since Ambassador McConnell needs to think about it, I'll go back first. There's still a meeting. I'll contact us after thinking about it. But hurry up. We're going back to Binhai City this afternoon. I'll contact you next time. You're going to Binhai City to find me." After Zhao Min finished speaking, he took Xiao Yu and prepared to leave.

"Okay, look forward to our contact again."

Looking at Zhao Min's back, Mai Kang frowned, and after a while, he took out his phone.The army ants do not make concessions on the price, and he has to contact the country to determine whether to buy it, after all, the transaction volume is too huge.

"Prime Minister, Army Ant Company refused to lower the price, and killed 5000 million US dollars in one bite, and has 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. They are still considering the price too high, but they have a strong willingness to buy. Only we have the seismograph. The advantage of monopoly is that we get as much money as we say." Zhao Min laughed.

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

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

"About 15." Chen Mo thought about the size of New Zealand and said.

"Adding the number of units they want to deploy on the seabed, it will cost nearly 20 units, 10 billion US dollars." Zhao Min said: "Our customer is a country, and if you don't earn a lot of money like this, you 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: "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 the capital to do some shopping.In the afternoon of the same day, New Zealand still did not reply. Chen Mo, Zhao Min and others also took the scheduled plane and rushed back to Binhai City.

Chapter 185

On the second day after returning to Binhai City, ambassadors from several countries came to visit Marching Ant Company, all for the seismograph.

As Huaxia built the first real earthquake early warning network, the popularity of seismographs swept the world.Countries that have suffered huge earthquake disasters all want to build an earthquake early warning network.

The high price of the seismograph caused a public outcry.Netizens in many countries are bombarding the Marching Ant Company for monopolizing the market, but the official government dare not say anything more.

It is useless to come out to protest or sanction Marching Ant Company at this time.There are not many overseas markets for army ants. Sanctions have little impact on army ants. Once army ants are annoyed, it is impossible to establish an earthquake early warning network.

In order to reduce losses when an earthquake strikes, all countries can only hold their noses and accept the inhumane price of the Army Ant Company.

Zhao Min walked into Chen Mo's office with the folder.

During this period of time, all her energy was devoted to discussing the seismograph with representatives of various countries, until today, it finally came to an end.

"The export of seismographs has been negotiated. This is the full list and contract. New Zealand ordered 16 sets, Chile 14 sets, Indonesia 47 sets, Mexico 35 sets, and island countries 25 sets. We paid 1 million U.S. dollars for the damage to the seismographs last time." , 24 units in India, 20 units in Turkey, a total of 181 orders.

These seismometers are produced, and we have over $90 billion in revenue.The earthquake in Nepal yesterday caused a lot of damage. Today their ambassador has contacted us, and the order is being negotiated. There should be only two or three sets. "

Hearing this number, Chen Mo was surprised.

90 billion US dollars are converted into Huaxia currency, there are nearly 600 billion, and the seismograph costs more than 300 million. For this figure, it is almost negligible. This is absolutely a terrifying profit.

"Isn't it shocking? This is the huge profit of monopoly." Zhao Min said calmly: "Our customers are based on the country, and the money is just a small amount of money."

As Zhao Min said, their customer is a country. Although the money is large, countries with a little economy can use it.Opposition parties in those countries dare not object to spending money on this aspect. After all, this is for the benefit of the people, and opposition is against the people.

"The United States, Germany and Russia also want to buy, but they don't have many orders. Each country only has two sets. I haven't responded yet. They want to import seismographs and copy them for production. In terms of technical secrecy, there is no problem, right?" Zhao Min asked.

"Don't worry about technology leakage, as long as you have money, anyone who wants to sell it." Chen Mo said: "The core system algorithm has been encrypted, and only I know it. I didn't get the most critical algorithm, and imitating it is also soulless. body.

"Understood." Zhao Min nodded.

After Zhao Min left, Chen Mo focused on the computer again.He only knows about the company's business occasionally, and Zhao Min is in charge of the specific matters, so he doesn't need to worry about it: "Mr. Mo, continue to sort out the information."

"Okay." Mo Nu said.

After returning to the company from the capital, there was nothing else to do. Chen Mo stayed in the office area and sorted out the data on the supercomputer, which was almost completed.

Supercomputers can perform large amounts of data and high-speed calculations that cannot be handled by personal computers.

Although the composition of components is not much different from the concept of ordinary computers, the performance of supercomputers is unmatched by ordinary computers.

It has powerful data processing capabilities, and is characterized by high computing speed and large capacity.Because of the special nature of the supercomputer, it has many special peripheral devices and requires a specialized large-scale computer system.

Mo Nu can solve the problem of the computer system, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

The characteristics of supercomputers just meet the needs of artificial intelligence.

It is mostly used for cutting-edge technology research. If it can become Mo Nu's shelter, Mo Nu's computing speed will definitely be even more terrifying, and it will help him even more.

Now he works on superconducting computers.

Superconducting computers use superconducting technology to produce computer components. Its switching speed can reach a few picoseconds, and its computing speed is a hundred times faster than that of current electronic computers. The power consumption is only one-thousandth of ordinary supercomputers.

This means that after completion, a superconducting computer does not need to occupy a large area like a supercomputer, consume a lot of power, and still have powerful computing capabilities.

Research on superconducting computers is very important for the future.Once the superconducting computer comes out, Mo Nu's calculation speed will be even faster in future technological research.

Chen Mo didn't stop until Mo Nu reminded Xiao Yu to enter the office area.

"After get off work, Ruoxi is waiting below. We are going to go shopping and do some shopping. Do you want to come together?" Xiaoyu said.

"Okay." Chen Mo picked up his coat and took Xiao Yu to leave the office area.

As soon as I arrived at the downstairs of the company, I saw Li Ruoxi who was waiting. "Hello boss, hello lady boss." Li Ruoxi smiled and bowed to the two of them.

"Don't make trouble, let's go." Xiao Yu blushed and pulled Li Ruoxi towards the car where Wang Hai was.

In the commercial plaza, there are various activities everywhere, the decorations are festive, and the flow of people is much higher than before. Chen Mo, Xiao Yu and Li Ruoxi are one of them.

Chen Mo was wearing a mask, for fear that others would recognize him.This was requested by Xiao Yu, because the last time he came out with him, he was chased by many girls to take a photo, which caused a lot of trouble.

With the rise of the Army Ant Company and the release of the seismograph, Chen Mo's domestic reputation has reached a peak.Being famous is a lot of trouble, being recognized everywhere you go.

"What gift do you want for the New Year?" Chen Mo asked.

Li Ruoxi bent her eyes, pulled Xiaoyu, and gave her a look, Xiaoyu immediately shook her head.Seeing the weird eye contact between the two, Chen Mo was puzzled.

"what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Li Ruoxi shook her head hastily after being signaled by Xiao Yu: "Boss, you have to prepare this gift yourself to be sincere. She told you to buy it and give it to her, it's not a surprise."

Chen Mo tilted his head and muttered, "It seems to be like this."

"You should think about it, what do women like, and you haven't given it to her yet." Li Ruoxi laughed.

"Ruoxi, don't talk nonsense." Xiaoyu blushed slightly and looked at the store: "Me and Ruoxi are going to buy some supplies for girls, do you want to come with me?"

"Eh? Let's go." Chen Mo glanced at Li Ruoxi next to him, and shook his head hastily: "You guys go shopping first, and I'll go shopping too. Call me when you finish shopping." Li Ruoxi is not present, and he may still be together, now How embarrassing to go.

"Okay, then go and see what gifts are available, we'll be there soon." Xiao Yu pulled Li Ruoxi and walked towards the underwear shop not far away.

After the two left, Chen Mo looked around, thought for a while, and walked in one direction.

Zhao Yanyu stood by the counter, quietly looking at the door of the shop.There are quite a few customers in the jewelry store now, but they are all taken away by other colleagues. She can only look forward to the arrival of the next customer.

Now that the year is approaching, it is the peak season. During this time, there are many customers.They all hope that they can earn more money this month and get some share for the New Year.

Suddenly, seeing a figure appearing at the door, Zhao Yanyu's eyes lit up, and someone finally came.Seeing that the other party was wearing a mask, Zhao Yanyu hesitated, but went up to meet him.

"Mister, hello, may I ask what you need?" Zhao Yanyu looked at Chen Mo.

Chapter 186 The person who does not send flowers

Chen Mo looked around in the store and nodded slightly to Zhao Yanyu.

"I need a ring."

"Sir, do you want to ask for a wedding ring?" Zhao Yanyu led Chen Mo to the glass cabinet: "There are all the latest rings from our company, each of which is carefully designed and unique."

Chen Mo looked carefully at the rings in the glass cabinet, each ring had a different style, and he was thinking about which one would suit Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu followed him and never asked for anything, but he had to give Xiao Yu an answer.The most surprising gift he could think of was this.

"This one." Chen Mo pointed to a ring and said.

"Sir, you have a good eye. This ring is an elegant model of the Believe series, and it is also the best ring here. It symbolizes unspoken trust." Zhao Yanyu's eyes lit up, and she took out the ring and put it in front of Chen Mo.

Chen Mo took the ring and looked it over carefully.

Seeing his appearance, Zhao Yanyu also became nervous.Wearing a mask and asking for the most expensive ring, you must be vigilant. Many robberies in jewelry stores are done by people wearing masks.

"That's it, pay the bill." Chen Mo handed the ring to Zhao Yanyu.

"Sir, do you really want to buy it?" Zhao Yanyu's face brightened, "The price is 13, are you sure?" Zhao Yanyu was really afraid that the other party would repent if they didn't know the price, and if something went wrong, she would also be in trouble.

"Buy." Chen Mo handed the bank card to Zhao Yanyu.

Seeing the black bank card, Zhao Yanyu's eyes widened.With this kind of bank card, you are definitely a super VIP of a super bank.

Just now she was afraid that the other party was a robber, but now that she thinks about it, how ridiculous it is.
