Chapter 68: Funny, are you engaging in a price war with Daxia? Then let the bombing begin!
Neon, central area of Tokyo.
This can be said to be the core location of the entire Neon, including Ginza, Nihonbashi, and the Tokyo Stock Exchange, all located in this area of less than ten square kilometers.
Muromachi 2-1 is located in the CBD business district in the middle, and the large characters "Toray Co., Ltd." are hung on this 100-meter-long building.
The owner of this building is the Toray Group, the leader in the field of carbon fiber composite materials.
How to describe its status is like Nvidia in the field of desktop graphics cards. Using GTX3060, 4070, etc., you can define the average level of graphics cards instead of using computing power to indicate the level of graphics cards.
The so-called grade specifications of ‘T500’ and ‘T700’ in the entire carbon fiber field are not the ‘naming method’ of the strength of carbon fiber materials, but are all derived from Toray’s ‘T300, T500, T700 and other carbon fiber series. ’
It can be seen from this that Toray Group’s ‘supreme hegemony’ position over the entire carbon fiber material market.
In the president's office.
"Just leave this matter alone." President Murakami Yunan signed a document and handed it to the subordinate next to him.
The subordinate knelt down and raised his head at a standard ninety-degree angle: "How much do we need to reduce our production capacity?"
This document does not state how much production capacity needs to be reduced. It is just a notification of an abnormal accident, providing a signal to the entire market.
“Production capacity of all series of carbon fiber materials has been reduced by half.”
Yukuno Murakami tapped his fingers on the table and grinned ferociously: "For carbon fiber composite materials above T500 level, production capacity will be reduced by 75%, and a new round of sanctions will be imposed on Daxia."
"Hi, President." The man bowed again and respectfully exited the President's office.
Watching this subordinate leave from a high position.
"Daxia still wants to develop a fifth-generation fighter? And a fighter that is so similar to the F22?"
Murakami Yukusu seemed to have thought of something funny: "Without top-grade carbon fiber materials, how can you build it in Daxia?"
If a fighter jet wants to achieve stealth, in addition to reducing the refraction of electromagnetic waves and working on the aerodynamic layout and shape, the next best option is to make extensive use of high-strength carbon fiber composite materials. This material does not reflect radar waves. In addition, it also has the characteristics of light weight, high hardness and so on.
Whether it is for most aircraft or fifth-generation fighters that require stealth and supersonic cruise, high-strength carbon fiber composite materials are indispensable.
Therefore, not only will production capacity be significantly reduced this time, but high-strength carbon fibers above T500 will also be banned in Daxia.
Although there has been such a sales embargo in the past, it was only for carbon fiber composite materials used in high-end aerospace and military applications with 'T700 strength specification' or above, but this time it is even directly connected to the mid-range market of T500 level. They will also be wiped out in one fell swoop.
Toray is about to deal an unprecedented devastating blow to Daxia's fifth-generation aircraft project.
"If this document is released, then Mitsubishi and the others should also take action, right?" Murakami Kusuo's eyes revealed a hint of madness.
Even if this mission was not ordered by Ying Jiang, he would still do it.
They've been building Neon for ten years and haven't even developed a single thing. Why can Daxia independently develop a fifth-generation machine? Have you asked Toray for its opinion?
now.
Several announcements instantly appeared on major news pages.
[Neon Toray Co., Ltd. announced that due to dry weather and factory fires, all carbon fiber material production capacity has dropped by 50%, and carbon fiber above T500 grade needs to be restricted in production and purchase sales. 】
[Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, SNK New Neon Heavy Machinery, and Neon Okuma announced that due to power outages and other reasons, the shipment of some precision processing machine tools currently contracted has been delayed or canceled. 】
[Samsung Electronics and Micron announced that due to flooding in Southeast Asian factories, semiconductor production capacity such as memory chips will be greatly affected. 】
【.】
Not only is Toray Co., Ltd. in the field of carbon fiber, but also under the command of Yingjiang, various aspects including machine tools, semiconductors, etc. are also developing.
The cooperation that had been negotiated was all temporarily canceled. Even if it was already halfway through transportation, these companies would rather break the contract and pay compensation than send it to Daxia.
Needless to say, their purpose was to carry out an all-round suppression of Daxia's J-20 project and the transformation of basic industries under the instructions of 'Dad Yingjiang'.
There is only one purpose, and that is to prevent Daxia from successfully developing the J-20 fighter jet.
Of course, another purpose is that these manufacturers can carry out a wave of price increases due to reduced production capacity, and then pay lower costs and earn more profits.
With this method, they can be said to have become perfect with practice.
Jiangnan Province, a port city.
This is the headquarters of Shenying Composite Materials, and it is also an important base for the large-scale production of carbon fiber materials in Daxia.
"Mr. Xu, look at how rampant these foreign devils are."
A person next to him was holding this newspaper and shouting angrily: "Not only are they blocking carbon fiber materials, but they are also refusing to let go of machine tools, semiconductors, etc. Are they trying to push us to a dead end?"
Production capacity has been reduced due to various accidents. Who would believe this nonsense? How come the reduction in production capacity only targets the equipment and materials needed by Daxia?
Is this a natural disaster? It was clearly a man-made disaster!
“Without technology, there is no right to speak.”
Xu Zhidong’s eyes reveal tenacity: “If we cannot create high-strength carbon fiber composite materials in one day, we will always be limited by others, and we have to look at other people’s faces to eat enough.”
This is true for carbon fiber composites, and even more so in other fields.
Today, Western countries such as Eagle Sauce can make you full of food, but tomorrow they can make you so hungry that you wail all over the place. Therefore, they must develop their own research and development in Daxia before they can stand up and shout loudly to the whole world. ‘NO, fuck you! ’
Take a look at the report details above.
"Floods, fires, power outages?" He suddenly laughed sarcastically: "Can't these people come up with some new tricks?"
When did they raise prices before for this reason? After each accident, the profits of these companies soared.
But so what?
Not to mention the 'T800 technical specification' carbon fiber composite material required for high-end aerospace like the J-20, their Shenying Composite Materials has just broken through the technical difficulties of T700 dry-jet wet spinning, and it will be at least two or three years before it is officially put into mass production. time.
Xu Zhidong’s most optimistic estimate is that it will take seven years to break through the 5.49Gpa tensile strength required for T800 and put it into production.
The progress at Guangwei Composite Materials may not be much better.
Looking at his disciple's angry look, he smiled helplessly: "There will come a day when all these grievances will be returned."
"Use all this energy on research and development, and go quickly."
Xu Zhidong believes that the grievances Daxia has suffered and all the unfair treatment he has encountered will turn into boomerangs at some point in the future and make these people pay a heavy price.
It's just that they still need to be patient, Daxia needs time.
Only by waiting for the opportunity to carry out high-end industrial transformation, then the whole of Daxia can truly make progress.
However.
Just when Xu Zhidong calmed down and prepared for the next round of technical problems.
"Xu Tou, there's an urgent call from Xia Ke Academy." His assistant came in holding the phone.
Xu Zhidong frowned: "Are there any new instructions or tasks to be issued? But why is it Xia Ke Academy?"
The parent company of Shenying Composite Materials is affiliated to Daxia Building Materials, and has not had much contact with Xia Ke Academy.
Just when he was filled with doubts, a familiar voice came from over there: "Professor Xu, I am Zhang Yuli"
Then, a series of instructions and their key points were issued.
After a long while, until the phone was hung up for several minutes, Xu Zhidong had a shocked expression on his face.
Look at him like this.
"Xu Tou, what's going on? What does Xia Ke Academy want to discuss with us?" The members of the R&D team next to them couldn't restrain their curiosity.
In the laboratory, everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Zhidong.
Only then did Xu Zhidong come back to his senses and stared at everyone: "Xia Ke Academy just called me to announce the latest results of their Materials Research Institute."
For a moment, all the researchers put down what they were doing and started listening.
"Their T800 grade carbon fiber composite dry-jet wet spinning method not only completed all technological breakthroughs, but also successfully conquered the T800 grade carbon fiber mass production technology."
"Our thousand-ton carbon fiber production line will be immediately upgraded to the T800H dry-jet wet spinning production line according to demand, and will be put into production as quickly as possible."
The ecstasy in Xu Zhidong's heart has not dissipated at all, and the smile on his lips is harder to suppress than AK.
He felt that his pent-up energy was quickly being released.
‘Just wait, Little Neon and Toray Group! ’
‘Don’t you want to limit production and sales? Let me see if you dare to play a price war with Daxia! ’ Xu Zhidong roared in his heart.
In terms of technological advancement, it is definitely not as good as Toray Group’s carbon fiber composite materials, which have the highest level of ‘T1000’.
But when it comes to price, they have never lost in Daxia.
If you limit production and sales, then we, Shenying Composite Materials, dare to seize the entire high-end market!
at the same time.
Far away in the Middle East, on the border of war-torn Gaza.
In a military training camp with a wire mesh, hundreds of men with camouflage on their faces and bandages on their heads were waiting in formation.
Among them are teenagers aged fifteen or sixteen, as well as adults in their thirties or forties who have reached the age of starting a family and starting a business.
There were even a few children who were only a head taller than the gun, standing there with expressionless faces.
"This is the last course for you to control a small drone, and it is also the most important part."
"The project this time is to drop bombs in actual combat! The enemy is: Israel!" The commander stared at them closely and said through gritted teeth.
This time, he will also rush to the front line of the battlefield.
His family has all died, and now it's time for these people to pay with their blood.
