Chapter 50: Favor is everywhere (Second update, please collect)

It turns out that the commander of the third class Ma Run is also the commander. That afternoon, Li Yian received a call from the Pentagon. Soon a jeep came to the hotel, and then he went straight to the Pentagon.

In a room that still smelled of decoration, Colonel Leto John received him and spoke directly to Li Yian.

"The military has agreed to include your company's "Agent Orange" in the military development plan. We will sign a contract. What I need to remind you is..."

Colonel Leto John looked at the young man in front of him and said.

"After you sign this contract, the military will provide you with a total of no less than 500 million U.S. dollars in funding for the development of "Agent Orange" and its improved products. However, during the war, if the military needs it, it can provide it to other parties. The company is authorized to produce "Agent Orange", and you must provide all technical information to the military-designated enterprise. Of course, after the war, if the authorized enterprise continues to produce, it will need to negotiate patents with you, and you have the right to ask it to stop. Production."

Before coming to Washington, Li Yian specifically inquired about patents. After the war broke out, the United States established a special agency to coordinate and resolve patent issues. For example, on synthetic rubber, DuPont invented chloroprene and Standard Oil developed butyl. Rubber, but neither synthetic rubber can be used in the production of tires. Suitable for the production of tires is styrene-butadiene rubber, invented by the German company Farben. Fortunately, through technical cooperation and sharing with Farben before the war, Standard Oil obtained the patents and technical knowledge for the production of styrene-butadiene rubber.

But until 1941, the company not only did not invest in the production of styrene-butadiene rubber itself, but also threatened to file lawsuits to prevent other tire companies from using this technology. In this context, U.S. officials immediately stepped in, first coordinating Standard Oil to sign a patent and information sharing agreement with the U.S. tire production giant and the U.S. Rubber Company. The following year, a judicial investigation was launched into the partnership between Standard Oil and the enemy Farben; in order to avoid further pressure from the government, Standard Oil had to agree to share its synthetic rubber expertise with all companies participating in the agreement for free throughout the war. patent.

It's very American...but effective, as if the company that invented the Jeep didn't make a few Jeeps. In a war, patents are useless.

Moreover, Li Yian really has no objection to this. The premise is that the United States is willing to produce. The more the military purchases, the more it will suffer from small life. Is there any reason to refuse such a good thing? "no problem!"

Li Yian readily signed the contract.

"Within two days after this contract is signed, a down payment of two million US dollars will be transferred to your company account,"

Look!

What is rich and powerful, this is it!

No nonsense, just pay directly.

Of course, this also allowed Li Yian to see the power of knowledge. A factory with one million yuan made millions in the blink of an eye!
  The arms business is indeed hugely profitable!

After the contract was signed, Leto John took out a business card and said.

"This is my business card. It has my phone number on it. If you have any questions in the future, we can contact you at any time."

"Yes, Colonel."

After Li Yian accepted the business card, Leto John said as if he remembered something.

"I heard that your company has just been established, right?"

"Yes."

"Then we should need employees." The colonel said calmly.

"I have a friend whose child has just graduated from college. He is studying law. He doesn't know if there are suitable positions in the laboratory."

"That's just right."

Li Yian said quickly.

"KTJ Laboratory is in need of a legal advisor to assist in handling some patent matters. If your friend is interested, you can give it a try."

Need legal counsel?

You have to need it even if you don’t need it, favors are everywhere. Sure enough, when he said this, the smile on Colonel Leto John's face became even stronger, and he even took the initiative to invite Li Yian to drink coffee in his office. I don't know how much a coffee pot in the Pentagon costs, but it is true that coffee can deepen relationships. , but after only chatting for a while, Li Yian knew the name of that friend.

Leto John, well, he is his own child. Why did he come to the KTJ laboratory? Because he has immunity. I have to say... This guy is also an old man. He deceives other people's children into going to the battlefield while leaving his own children alone. The rear.

But what are the benefits of favors?
  After learning that Li Yian also had a company manufacturing submachine guns, he immediately said that the military was in urgent need of submachine guns and asked him to send 100 to the military for testing. If the military passed the test, they would purchase them in large quantities.

Become!

We have really become an arms dealer now!

It has directly entered the US military supply chain. Now it is difficult not to make a fortune!

In fact, among tens of billions or hundreds of billions of military allocations, roles like Li Yi'an are too small to be mentioned, and they only eat the leftovers of big companies, but even so. , that is also very impressive.

In the next few days, Li Yi'an, who was in Washington, was not idle. In addition to coordinating the military's preparation of test sites, he also contacted the military's test institutions, such as sending them to those people through some intermediaries. Some small gifts are just to communicate feelings. Of course, Colonel Leto John did not forget to give his child a graduation gift, a second-hand car.

Although he has only graduated for more than a year, Li Yian, who has been working in sales, knows very well how to deal with relationships between people. For Zhenhua Company, the most important thing right now is not to conduct business, but to establish relationships. net.

Facts have proved that all crows in the damn world are as black as crows in Washington. The crows in Washington are no whiter than those in other places. Relationships and human relationships are also important here. Just when Li Yi'an was doing everything possible to build his own network, someone took the initiative to find him.

"Hello, Mr. Li, I am Harvey, a lawyer at Harvey Law Firm. This is my business card."

When the business card was handed over, a middle-aged American in a suit and tie sat at the dining table and said straightforwardly.

"I know that Mr. Li's company has just received an order from the Ministry of Defense, and I also know that you are building a network in Washington. However, Mr. Li, you need to know one thing. Only by leaving professional matters to professional people can you get the best results. the result of."

Looking at the business card in his hand, Li Yian knew that the legendary lobbyist had appeared!
