While Jiang Bo was playing tricks on his little secretary in the office, Mitsubishi Electric, which was far away in Japan, was holding an urgent internal meeting.

In the conference room, eight senior executives of Mitsubishi Electric were seated.

The CEO of Mitsubishi Electric, after briefly talking about the sales of other products, focused on the fullerene segment.

The CEO said: "Let's talk about the situation of fullerene, before August 2020, Mitsubishi had the status of world hegemon in the production and sales of fullerene C60.

Our fullerene C60 has the lowest cost in the world and the world's largest output, and fullerene civilian skin care products occupy more than half of the market in this industry.

However, since August 2020, the situation has changed.

A local company called Black Bone Carbon in Huaxia first disrupted the order of the fullerene market in Huaxia, and then desperately lowered the price, causing the global fullerene market to fall into the biggest turmoil in history.

So much so that we have also been affected. ”

The CEO of Mitsubishi Electric looked at the information on the table and continued, "In the fourth quarter of last year, a number of manufacturing companies engaged in fullerene products controlled by the Mitsubishi Group incurred losses.

The amount of damage was nearly $5 billion, and this data was already known to everyone at the beginning of this year.

But that's nothing, and I'll give you another statistic.

In 2021, that is, from January to early June this year, in just five months, 22 fullerene companies controlled by Mitsubishi around the world went bankrupt, with a total loss of more than $10 billion. ”

The voice fell, and the conference room was in an uproar.

"22 fullerene companies are bankrupt?

"However, I remember that Mitsubishi Holdings' fullerene downstream companies seem to have only 22. ”

That is to say...... Mitsubishi Ichi's fullerene industry chain, is it gone?"

"This can't be, why didn't we know anything beforehand?"

Many people panicked because it was in their interest.

The CEO of Mitsubishi Electric knocked on the table and said, "Quiet! The reason why I haven't informed everyone before is because I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it if you find out." ”

"Then why say it now?" said humane.

"Now?" said Mitsubishi Electric's CEO with a smile, then said in a low voice, "I can't hold it anymore now, I have to say it, or, even if I don't say it, you will receive news from the group headquarters in a few days."

In fact, Black Bone Carbon disrupted the fullerene C60 market last year, and although the blow to us was limited.

Mitsubishi has its own mature fullerene manufacturing system, and our combustion system is two steps ahead of the world, and the cost of fullerene C60 with a minimum concentration of 99% can be controlled at 80 yuan per gram, and the cost of fullerene with lower purity will be cheaper.

Can ...... now Hehe, do you know what the market price of fullerene C60 with a concentration of 99% is? 48 yuan per gram!

The Huaxia side is simply crazy and has lowered the price to 48 yuan per gram, is this an attempt to popularize the nanomaterial of fullerene? It's ridiculous!"

There was silence in the room at these words.

The CEO of Mitsubishi Electric slammed the table and said, "The reduction in the price of fullerene C60 means that Mitsubishi has lost its biggest advantage, and more importantly, the officials who have been supporting us have also temporarily shelved the support plan."

The military even bluntly said that the price of our fullerene was too expensive, and after unilaterally terminating the contract, it blatantly signed an order of 5 billion yuan with a fullerene company called 'Liyang Carbon' in Huaxia. ”

A high-level executive gritted his teeth and scolded: "Those bastards, how can they be like this, how can they give money to Huaxia's enterprises......"

Someone shook his head and said: "I can't blame the people in the military, it's an economic era, they don't have a reason not to buy cheaper materials, and they made a special trip to support us, in terms of the price of fullerene, Mitsubishi has already lost." ”

A vice president named Hashimoto Minamino said: "Not only the price, but also the output, has been completely surpassed by Huaxia, a truck-sized device can produce 100 kilograms of fullerene C60 with a concentration of more than 99% per day, how did they do it? It's incredible......

The CEO of Mitsubishi Electric took over and said, "The kind of device that Hashimoto-kun mentioned is the focus of this meeting.

As I just said, although the Black Bone Carbon Company has impacted the market, its impact on us is limited, after all, in the global fullerene market, it is difficult for them to eat everything alone, and there will always be a little leakage.

However, another company under Black Bone Technology Company, called Black Bone Electronics Company, showed its fangs as soon as it appeared, directly forcing us to a dead end. ”

The CEO of Mitsubishi Electric said coldly: "At the beginning of February this year, this company issued a high-profile document and launched a device called 'fullerene plasma polymerization unit'.

As soon as this equipment was launched, it was rushed by local enterprises in China, and directly replaced Mitsubishi's leading position in fullerene production equipment.

This fullerene unit, in terms of efficiency, yield, and fullerene concentration, far surpasses Mitsubishi's current state-of-the-art combustion unit.

Although we are proud that our industrial foundation and high-tech technology are ahead of China, we must admit that their technology is indeed better......"

There are some facts, although I don't want to face them, but I have to admit them.

Mitsubishi Electric's CEO sighed, "The superiority of the equipment has enabled companies that have purchased this equipment to continue to reduce their costs when producing fullerenes.

Yesterday, the transaction price of fullerene has been reduced to 48 yuan per gram, and the lowest cost of fullerene of the same quality we produce is still at the stage of 80 yuan per gram.

In terms of cost, they are simply not comparable, and we cannot produce thousands of tons of fullerene C60 a year with all the production lines in the world.

But they only need less than 30 devices to do it.

This gap is too big to make up.

Judging by the current situation, if a way is not found to break the technical blockade of the devices of the Black Bone Electronics Company in this regard, the Mitsubishi Group ...... It will completely lose its voice in fullerene, a major nanomaterial. ”

Huaxia officials have listed fullerene as a key high-tech material, and its status is equivalent to graphene and carbon nanotubes, which are cutting-edge new materials.

The Japanese side naturally also sees the prospect of fullerene, and has already begun to deploy it.

And the collaborators, officially working closely with the authorities, are known as the Mitsubishi Group, a Japanese military industrial enterprise.

As far as fullerene is concerned, Mitsubishi Group made a three-year plan at the beginning of the 21st century, and the first two decades have been completed, and Mitsubishi has made a major breakthrough in fullerene, with good results.

But the third decade, which had only been two years old, was immediately hit with setbacks and heavy blows.

If this collapses, the total loss of fullerene planning in the next ten years will exceed 100 billion US dollars, and everything invested before will become a dream bubble and no longer exist.

......

It's the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass, the main thing is that the monthly pass will be invalid if you don't vote.
