For a month, Zhang Xiaofan was still in a good mood, although the technical department did not give any clear date to develop the latest products, and the domestic sales volume was further reduced, but the amount of reduction was still within the acceptable range of Zhang Xiaopang.

Two months have passed, and the situation has not improved, and many paint companies have been targeting Zhimei new materials, which is very obvious.

In this year, the control of paint is not so strict, so there are still a lot of companies that use paint in their spraying methods, and what is even more unacceptable is that these companies are actually spraying in the open air.

Therefore, among the customers of Zhimei New Materials, they accepted the suggestions of these paint companies to change the powder coating to paint coating, and they used open spraying.

In this way, they can save a lot of costs, and the equipment for recycling paint waste is not needed, which is hundreds of thousands of costs.

But when Zhang Xiaofan heard the news, he didn't care, you can do this kind of thing for a while, but you can't do it for a lifetime.

Moreover, these companies are some small enterprises, they purchase products in Zhimei New Materials, most of them are guardrail enterprises, and the powder coating colors used by these companies are consistent, so there is no need for Zhimei New Materials to develop a new color to adapt to their products.

These are actually partners, the number of products they use is not very large, and these companies are customers of cash pickup, Zhang Xiaofan is not distressed, but Chen Ying is very distressed, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat.

If Zhang Xiaowang is a little ruthless, he will call directly to report it, and one report will be accurate.

However, Zhang Xiaofan did not do this, but reminded Chen Ying to record these customers, and if they take products from me in the future, the price will be increased, and you have to make up for the profits I lost during this time.

But Chen Ying immediately rolled her eyes, they have already used cheap paint, will they still use your expensive powder paint?

"Don't you believe it?"

Chen Ying shook her head, not even wanting to say more.

Zhang Xiaofan has a sentence in his heart, but he doesn't believe it himself.

One thing is for sure, though, their paint won't last long.

Once a resident of the surrounding area finds out that he is spraying the paint in the open air, these residents may not necessarily report it, but most of them will feel that the paint will endanger their health, so they will definitely take their own measures to prevent such a thing from happening.

For example, blocking the gate is a common thing that many residents around small industrial parks do.

For their own vital interests, not to mention that you are a small business in a small industrial park, that is, a large company, they will also take legal measures to protect themselves, or take measures that they think are reasonable to protect their legitimate rights and interests.

If you find that there is a large amount of sewage in the canals, rivers, streams and the like around your home, and even you can smell the pungent smell when you sit at home, at this time, for your own survival, for your own health, for your own body, for the health of your family, you will not hesitate to find some trouble with the enterprise or report to the higher authorities.

Once it involves the reporting of the surrounding residents, or once the surrounding residents block the door, then the matter is more difficult to solve.

Many manufacturers have encountered such things, even if you are a super-large industrial park, as long as there are residents around, it will be prone to this kind of problem.

In the past 13 years, the principle of not prosecuting officials has been implemented in most areas of environmental protection.

However, there are also some cities or provinces, their requirements for environmental protection are very high, at least some of the record enterprises, as long as it involves chemical coatings, the environmental protection department will regularly go to spot checks.

That is, the environmental protection department does not check, where you are located, with the town as the unit, or the village as the unit of the government department, they will conduct a series of inspections on your company's health and safety fire protection, etc., in this case, they find that you spray paint in the open air, don't think about the consequences, this will be very dangerous!

So based on these points, Zhang Xiaofan is actually not worried, these customers will come back sooner or later, at least they will switch to explosion-proof coatings, although they may not necessarily use the products of Zhimei New Materials.

But once they switch to powder coatings, Zhang Xiaofan is confident to beat other peers, as far as powder coatings are concerned, Zhang Xiaofan is confident that the cost per unit of spraying, Zhimei New Materials has an advantage over other companies.

Therefore, they will return to the original point, and they will still buy products from Zhimei New Materials, which gives Zhang Xiaofan an opportunity to pay tribute to them.

Zhang Xiaohua is full of confidence every time, every time he discusses with Chen Ying and Deng Xiaoni, the confidence on Zhang Xiaofan's face will make the two of them feel more at ease and can make people feel trusted.

Now, more than three months have passed, and the technology department has been developing new products for nearly seven months, but the result is still no news.

Chen Ying and Deng Xiaoni are obviously anxious, if this continues, will the company still need to be opened?

In just seven months, the company's sales fell by 35%, although the profit margin only accounted for 40%, but it has to be said that this is a great test of people's affordability.

The company's profits are directly related to their year-end income, which can make people feel anxious, and although they are the managers of the company, they are not the controllers of the company.

So they came to Zhang Xiaofan again.

"Aren't you tired of running to me every day?"

Zhang Xiaofan is also a little helpless now, the technical department can not give a clear date, it may be that Zhang Xiaofan's requirements are too high, or it may be that the group of people in the technical department are not in place, although they will give Zhang Xiaofan some surprises from time to time, but the current finished product is still very unsatisfactory.

Of course, the finished product envisioned by Zhang Xiaofan is very simple in spraying, which will not cause pollution to the environment, and the curing method can be completed in the sun for a day and a half, or it can be cured by using ultraviolet and infrared lamps, of course, the traditional baking method is also feasible.

According to Liu Qi's report to Zhang Xiaofan, they have experimented with hundreds of curing accelerators, but the results are still unsatisfactory.

Some can achieve curing conditions, but the surface effect is very poor, and some surface effects are acceptable, but the curing conditions are relatively high.

Now Liu Qi and they are experimenting with the use of composite curing accelerators with two or more curing accelerators, which are used together.

Of course, it must be fruitless now, because it has only been less than three days.

"Mr. Zhang, this month's sales volume has declined again, and the pertinence of those companies is too obvious, although they did not use the official power, did not carry out environmental protection and fire protection inspections on our company, and did not audit, but their methods made us a little helpless. ”

If it is an official force, they will audit the accounts of new magnesium materials, conduct environmental protection inspections, and conduct fire inspections, which Chen Ying is not afraid of, because Zhimei new materials basically meet the requirements by 99.9%.

It's only a matter of a day or two, and after a day or two, you can still produce as usual, and you don't have to worry about it at all, but now they use a way of competing in the market that makes you sick.

The price of its own products has been reduced, and it has been reduced by a very large amount, reaching more than 30%.

As for their profit margins, Chen Ying doesn't know and doesn't know.

But now Chen Ying is really helpless.

"Now all we can do is wait, wait for news from the technical department. ”

Zhang Xiaofan is also scratching his head now, the company's business volume is declining, he is not in a hurry, it must be fake, the company's largest shareholder is him, he must be more anxious than Chen Ying.

However, Zhang Xiaofan is good at disguise, he can calm down, and he now has some confidence in the technical department, although it can be regarded as relatively blind, but now it has reached this level, so many paint companies have found the threat of Zhimei new materials to them, they will definitely not stop, what they are doing now can be said to be competing with you brightly, although they give up profits or even losses, but it is better than the death of the enterprise.

Careful paint companies are still living and dying, producing low-quality paint products, which are often sold in rural and economically underdeveloped areas.

So this time, the competitors faced by Zhimei New Materials, some super-large large-scale paint companies, most of them are among the top in China.

Compared with them, the new materials are inferior to them, both in terms of resources and talents.

What Zhang Xiaofan can do now is to wait, wait for them to stop, after all, such an action requires not only time, but also profits, so Zhang Xiaofan can completely survive, and when they can't survive, when the price increases, Zhang Xiaofan's opportunity will come, but this, Zhang Xiaofan feels a little unreliable.

The second is still to wait, waiting for the technical department to produce a coating product comparable to paint coatings, and then you can have a hand-to-hand fight with them fist-to-fist.

The third is still waiting, waiting for the country's policy tilt, from the current national policy to infer that the country's control of paint will definitely become more and more stringent.

In fact, the third point is Zhang Xiaofan's real source of confidence, especially when the slogan "Jinshan Yinshan is not as good as lucid waters and green mountains" is shouted, the momentum of environmental protection will be unstoppable.

If you really can't do it, you can boil it slowly, survive a few years, there is no problem in coming out, and you can slowly precipitate during this time and achieve the ultimate technology.
