Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 48 [If You Don’t Sign the Supplementary Agreement, We Won’t Sell]

One of the major strategic purposes of lowering product prices is to accelerate the development of global science and technology. If a group of profit-seeking people resell the products at high prices, the prices will be pushed up again, causing some technology companies to be unable to afford the cost of graphene materials, thus hindering the efficiency of technological iteration and development.

What Xiao Yu hopes most now is that the technology tree on Earth can rise quickly. By then, he will be able to bring many high-tech products from Blue Star to Earth.

After a while, Xu Changming suggested, "Then let's sign a supplementary agreement with the supplier. The company that receives the materials must agree that the materials can only be used for its own products. It is forbidden to resell them or use them for other products outside the contract. If they breach the contract, they must pay a penalty of more than ten times the purchase price."

Xu Changming added: "If you are not willing to sign this agreement, we will not sell it."

Xiao Yu immediately made the decision: "Let's do as you say. This method is very good. Although it seems a bit unfair, we have the confidence. The market is completely tilted towards the seller. The buyer has no bargaining power. If they don't agree, I won't do business with them. Anyway, I have the military order as a guarantee. I don't care if the civilian market doesn't sell a gram."

In reality, it is impossible not to sell it.

The graphene materials provided by Prism Technology not only have quality and purity that far surpass all products from its peers, but are also one or even two orders of magnitude cheaper. Their application areas are also so broad that they can be found in almost all high-end industrial fields.

Not to mention that there are military orders to back it up. Military orders alone can ensure that the company has a stable revenue channel.

The matter was confirmed directly. No matter who is purchasing graphene materials from corporate customers in the civilian market, they must sign this supplementary agreement. Otherwise, they will not be sold.

The two chatted for a while, and then Xu Changming went to arrange this matter and met again to discuss with the potential customers who came to inquire about prices and conduct research.

Xiao Yu pondered for a moment, then stood up and walked to his desk. He picked up the landline phone and called Yun Shu and Fu Kang respectively, asking them to come and see him. Fu Kang is also a core executive of Prism Technology. He was a member of the initial team that joined Prism Technology in the early days and is also a veteran member of the company.

Not long after, the two arrived at Xiao Yu's office one after another.

Xiao Yu sat down on the sofa in the office lounge and looked at Fu Kang who was sitting opposite him: "Brother Fu, take a team abroad to conduct research and investigation around the world."

Fu Kang was surprised and asked, "Leading a team to conduct research abroad? What are you going to do?"

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "The company has crossed over to do food processing and grain trade. Your overseas research this time is to do this on a global scale. Our company's food processing and grain trade business must take the lead in going overseas for global layout."

After these words were spoken, Fu Kang and Yun Shu who were present could not help but be stunned for a moment.

Fu Kang reacted and said quickly: "Boss Xiao, you are not kidding, are you? Are you really here? The company's cross-border food processing and grain trade is not your attempt to suppress those investors..."

As a core member of the company, Fu Kang also knew that Xiao Yu had previously asked the company to cross-border into food processing and grain trading in order to suppress the stock price and force several investors of Penghui Capital to suffer heavy losses and be eliminated, but he only knew this much.

But now, Xiao Yu suddenly told him that he wanted to go abroad for research, and it was for the company's global layout of food processing and grain trade.

This really confused Fu Kang, he didn't understand what Xiao Yu was doing.

Obviously, Xiao Yu has already begun to actively plan for the large-scale food trading from Earth in the future. He must expand the food processing and food trading business on a global scale. Some things are more convenient to do overseas. He can't tell anyone about this, but he still has to make up a reason.

Xiao Yu pondered in his heart, and after a moment, he thought of a reason, so he looked at Fu Kang and said calmly: "The decision to cross-border do this business is not just to fight with Zhou Baichuan and other investors, this is just a side thing at best."

By the way?
Fu Kang had a puzzled look on his face, while Yun Shu beside him remained silent, also looking at Xiao Yu with a half-believing and half-doubting expression.

"If the company wants to become a world-class technology giant, its future business will definitely spread all over the world. Some things have to be planned in advance to avoid having to cram at the last minute." Xiao Yu said calmly and confidently.

When Fu Kang heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Okay, but the question is, what does this have to do with cross-border food prices and grain trade?"

It is worth mentioning that Fu Kang now believes that the company can become a world-class technology giant. Apart from other things, the graphene material business alone is enough to grow into a giant-level enterprise, but this seems to have nothing to do with cross-border food processing and grain trade, right? They are completely unrelated.

At this moment, Fu Kang couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

Xiao Yu said with a smile: "It matters a lot. Some areas in foreign countries don't have much money. If we expand our business in South America in the future, the local people don't have money, but they have products like grain and beef. We can use these to offset the price of the transaction. Isn't Huawei's client there not having money to pay? In the end, he used beef to offset the payment and was forced to become a beef import supplier."

Xiao Yu brought up Hua Wei's example and continued, "We will most likely encounter similar situations in the future. Our customers in South America don't have money to pay, so they may use beef, soybeans, sugar and other grains and meats to offset the payment. Do we need food processing plants to process these things? Do we need grain trading companies to process them?"

"Uh..." Fu Kang opened his mouth for a long time but couldn't find a reason to refute Xiao Yu. His argument was well-founded and there was nothing wrong with it, but he was speechless.

Xiao Yu leaned back against the sofa, crossed his legs and smiled, "That's why I decided to open a large supermarket in Linzhou. We can learn from Huawei's good ideas. For example, our company can also open an online and offline lifestyle mall."

"This lifestyle mall is carefully selected by the company and can provide a wide range of shopping products, including wine, beef, seafood, rice oil, nuts, tea, honey and other daily necessities."

After a pause, Xiao Yu added: "The main service objects of the Life Mall are our company's employees and their families. It is like a canteen opened by the company for its own employees, providing a series of high-quality daily necessities to improve the quality of life of employees."

It makes sense and is reasonable.

It can also provide a good cover for Xiao Yu's future large-scale trade in food products from Blue Star. It is reassuring to have the channels in his own hands, and it is also convenient to have channels spread all over the world.

At this moment, after hearing what Xiao Yu said, Fu Kang felt that it was indeed reasonable and correct.

Big companies like Huawei do the same thing. Since they have the ambition to grow Prism Technology into a global giant, there is nothing wrong with planning these supporting matters in advance.
