Barbara thought again: I hope this Mr. Niu Xiaoqiang can be promoted quickly, if he really becomes a black card member - no, even if he becomes a diamond member, I can also leave the position of a counter waiter and be upgraded to an elite salesman of the bank, and then the salary will be greatly improved, it is good to think about.

Barbara is dreaming here, and Niu Xiaoqiang on the other side is sitting with Zhang Xiaolan in McDonald's eating hamburgers.

Originally, Zhang Xiaolan wanted to invite Niu Xiaoqiang to a big meal, but Niu Xiaoqiang disagreed. He said that as long as the mind is there, there is no need to waste money.

8,000 US dollars is definitely a huge amount of money in China, but in the United States, it is just idle, and Niu Xiaoqiang doesn't want Zhang Xiaolan to break too much. She still has to study in the United States for three years, and it is not okay not to save a little.

Seeing Niu Xiaoqiang's resolute attitude, Zhang Xiaolan had to dispel the idea of eating a big meal, took Niu Xiaoqiang to the fast food restaurant, and invited Niu Xiaoqiang to taste the famous hamburger.

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded while eating: "This thing is okay, especially the chicken sandwiched in the middle, which is fried crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the taste is very good." ”

Zhang Xiaolan asked with a smile: "Your meal is a bit large, I'm afraid one is not enough, I'll buy you another one." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't eat in the morning, and now he was indeed a little hungry, so he nodded: "Then please buy me another one, and still buy me a McSpicy Chicken Leg Burger." ”

"Okay, I'll buy it. ”

After eating two hamburgers, Niu Xiaoqiang found a public phone booth and dialed Caroline's number with a coin.

The phone rang for a long time before it was connected, and Caroline's lazy voice came from the other end: "Hello, I'm Caroline, a salesman at Fannie Mae, who is your Excellency?"

"I'm Niu Xiaoqiang, Caroline, are you free now? I want to pay you the money on the contract. ”

Caroline was taking a nap just now, her spirit was originally a little sluggish, after listening to Niu Xiaoqiang's words, Caroline immediately shook her spirits, and said with a smile: "I'm free, I don't know where you are now?" ”

Niu Xiaoqiang reported his location, and Caroline said that she would come as soon as possible.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiaolan spoke: "Xiaoqiang, you are busy first, I will go to Morpheus University to find Liu Xue and tell her about the part-time job." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded and sent Zhang Xiaolan to the bus stop before returning to the agreed place.

Caroline's place of work wasn't too far from the McDonald's, and she was driving to her destination fifteen minutes later.

Niu Xiaoqiang did not delay, and directly asked Caroline to report the account to him, and then he transferred money at the ATM.

Caroline carried the contract with her, and when Niu Xiaoqiang finished the transfer, she immediately signed and confirmed the receipt of the payment.

"Mr. Niu, do you want to go to the office and have a look?"

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and shook his head: "No need, I'm very relieved of Miss Caroline, and I don't need to go over to check." ”

Caroline snorted and asked enthusiastically, "Where are you going now, do you want me to give you a ride?"

Since there is a free car to sit in, Niu Xiaoqiang naturally will not refuse: "I want to go back to the rental house, but I don't know if Miss Caroline is inconvenient to send me?"

"Your place is not far from here, nothing inconvenient, hurry up and get in the car. ”

"Okay, thanks. ”

On the way home to send Niu Xiaoqiang, Caroline chatted with Niu Xiaoqiang enthusiastically. The woman was very talkative and interested in Chinese culture, asking a lot of questions about China along the way.

Niu Xiaoqiang answered one by one, and waved goodbye to Caroline after arriving at the destination. After entering the house, I opened the book directly and continued to teach myself computer technology.

In the next two days, Kailina was still on a business trip and did not return, and Niu Xiaoqiang was relatively idle at home alone.

On the evening of the third day, the phone in the living room rang suddenly, Niu Xiaoqiang went downstairs and picked up the receiver, and a man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiaoqiang, I didn't disturb your rest, right?"

Because the voice on the phone was a little distorted, Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't hear who the other party was, and he was embarrassed to ask directly, so he said at the moment: "It's only a quarter past eight o'clock in the evening on the American side, how can I rest so early?"

The other party laughed twice, and then went straight to the point: "Smith came to Jiangbei Oilfield yesterday afternoon, he learned that Jiangbei Oilfield cooperated with Asia Machinery Factory to develop a double donkey-head oil extractor, and figured out that I would do him a favor, from this guy's words, you can hear that he wants me to help him lower the purchase price, I didn't promise him on the spot, I want to hear your opinion." ”

As soon as these words were spoken, Niu Xiaoqiang immediately dared to confirm that it was Zhang Guangmao who called.

He pondered for a moment and then spoke: "In terms of price, we can give him a nine-percent discount according to the original plan, if he still wants to get further discounts, then a prerequisite must be met, the condition is that he wants to sign a long-term strategic contract with the Asian Machinery Factory, and in the future, their oil fields must all use the double donkey head oil extraction machine produced by the Asia Machinery Factory, otherwise we will not provide him with a new discount program." ”

Before going abroad, Niu Xiaoqiang worked out the export price of the double donkey head oil extractor, the same level of double donkey head oil extractor is cheaper than Halliburton, but the performance is much higher than Halliburton's, the reason for this pricing, mainly because the Asian machinery factory in the international energy equipment market has no reputation, in order to open up the situation, can only take a preferential price plan.

Smith is a shrewd man, and even though the Asian machinery factory has offered a relatively good selling price, he still wants to keep the cost of procurement down. But this guy is looking for the wrong person.

Although the nominal double donkey head oil extractor was developed by Jiangbei Oilfield in cooperation with Asia Machinery Factory, Jiangbei Oilfield can only enjoy the benefits of price and does not have any rights of double donkey head oil extractor. The real owner is the Asia Machinery Factory, and to put it bluntly, the owner of this patented technology is Niu Xiaoqiang personally.

Karina has filed a patent application and the U.S. Patent Office is reviewing it. Although the patent certificate has not yet arrived, the technology has been protected by the U.S. Patent Office, and no one else can plagiarize or use it illegally, otherwise there will be legal consequences.

The U.S. Patent Office has long signed agreements with other European countries, and they are mutually recognized, and as long as they apply for a patent in the United States, it is equivalent to having exclusive rights to the entire Western world. Of course, the fees that should be paid still have to be paid, otherwise the patent protection measures in other European countries will automatically lapse.

Zhang Guangmao snorted: "I have the bottom in my heart, so I'll go and talk to Smith and let him meet the conditions you proposed." ”
