Chapter 677: Brutal Competition

Xiao Dongping led Wang Xiaodong and Yu Yong to travel around the European continent, visiting those interested customers one by one and introducing them to the cooperation policy of Daqin Group. Some of these European manufacturers, like Marmont, are willing to cooperate in patents and technology in exchange for low supply prices, while some are skeptical, and only agree to sign a cooperation intention with Daqin Group, and the specific cooperation method will be observed for a while.

Throughout the sales process, Xiao Dongping and others can clearly feel the superiority of European companies over Chinese companies, if it were not for the fact that they hold the world's only graphene products in their hands, these European companies may not give them a good face at all. Regarding this situation, Xiao Dongping and Wang Xiaodong can still remain calm, but Yu Yong is a little indignant.

"These European devils, what's? No matter how bullish it is, isn't graphene the first thing we came up with? After coming out of a company, Yu Yong couldn't help but complain.

"People have always been more advanced in technology than us, so it's normal to be a little arrogant." Wang Xiaodong patted Yu Yong's shoulder and taught in the tone of a big brother.

"No matter how advanced they are, can they make graphene?" Yu Yong said that when he said this, he himself was a little lacking in confidence. He was a student of Nexen, and he knew all too well what the discovery of graphene was all about. Nie Sen has told his assistants and students more than once that if Qin Hai had not chosen this direction with foresight and put forward some research ideas in advance, it would have been impossible for him to discover graphene. Today, Daqin Group has some first-mover advantages in graphene, which are actually derived from Qin Hai's golden fingers.

This advantage, built on the basis of a prominent figure, is indeed not comparable to the centuries-old technological accumulation of Europe. Daqin Group is only able to lead in a few products, and in most aspects, it is still far behind European companies.

Xiao Dongping persuaded: "Yu Yong." You have to be content, anyway, we still have some products that can make European companies interested, do you know when we were supporting Pusang Automobile, how big the gap is with foreign countries? ”

Regarding these things, Yu Yong has heard Xiao Dongping talk about them many times. Because of this, he can understand why Xiao Dongping is not as angry as he is. For Xiao Dongping's generation. The technology of European and American countries is an unattainable height, and more than ten years ago, they never thought that they could be on an equal footing with European and American companies. To this day, although the goal of equality has not been achieved, at least when negotiating with the other party, he already has some weight, this state is already rare in Xiao Dongping's opinion, what is he not satisfied with?

"Anyway, I just can't get used to seeing their faces." Yu Yong muttered, "I want them to transfer some patented technology." Look at their looks, I can't wait for us to kowtow to them. ”

Wang Xiaodong smiled: "Didn't they all agree in the end?" ”

"That's why we have graphene in our hands, so they have to agree." Yu Yong said, "I admire Mr. Qin more and more now, other bosses only know how to make money, but our Mr. Qin spent so much money to build Anhe Materials College." Now it seems that engaging in scientific research is the most promising thing, and we have our own technology. The Europeans have to bow to us. ”

"You know how powerful Mr. Qin is!" Wang Xiaodong said, "I already knew about it more than ten years ago. At that time he ...... Hmph, you don't understand. ”

Xiao Dongping laughed on the side, Yu Yong didn't know Wang Xiaodong's bad deeds back then, but Xiao Dongping knew it. When Wang Xiaodong was in high school, he only knew how to skip class and play games, and he often reached out to his sister Wang Xiaochen to ask for money. It's basically a typical example of a troubled teenager. After Qin Hai knew about this, he took Ning Mo to beat Wang Xiaodong, and used high pressure to force him to study hard, so that Wang Xiaodong was finally admitted to a secondary school, which is why he has today's status.

Wang Xiaodong did not hold any grudge against Qin Hai's violence back then. On the contrary, he was very convinced. Among the young people who entered the company before and after, Wang Xiaodong's admiration for Qin Hai is the strongest, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a brainless fan.

Sometimes, Xiao Dongping himself will ask himself what kind of attitude he has towards Qin Hai. Back then, when Qin Hai was still a young worker who had just entered the factory, Xiao Dongping was already the deputy chief of the sales department in the factory, and he was an elder in front of Qin Hai. Over the years, he has personally watched Qin Hai build the Great Qin Group from scratch, and he himself has changed from Qin Hai's leader to Qin Hai's subordinate. He felt that he did not have the disdain for Qin Hai at all as the older generation did for the young, but was full of appreciation and admiration.

Xiao Dongping's partners Xiang Jiyong, Leng Yuming and others are now also executives in the company, in charge of some important parts, when Xiao Dongping chatted with them privately, he found that their views on Qin Hai were strikingly similar to his own, that is, he was convinced by this young man.

"Xiao Qin's vision is beyond the reach of us old men." Xiao Dongping said to Wang Xiaodong and Yu Yong with emotion, "If you follow him, your future future is limitless." With people like Xiao Qin, there will not be too many days when foreigners are arrogant in front of us, and I believe that one day Xiao Qin will make these foreigners bow their heads to us. ”

Yu Yong said: "I have long believed this, not to mention far, just this graphene matter, Mr. Qin will definitely make the Japanese suffer a big loss." ”

"You mean Niizuka Chemical?" Wang Xiaodong asked.

"Hehe, Brother Wang, this can't be said, the secret of heaven can't be leaked." Yu Yong smiled and sloppily eyes. In his mind, the matter of digging a pit and framing Xinzuka Chemical was specially explained to him by Qin Hai, and he couldn't just say it.

Xiao Dongping and others are promoting graphene in Europe, and they must not be able to hide it from Xinzuka Chemical. Xinzuka Chemical's current largest project is graphene, and how can it not care about the whereabouts of Daqin Group.

Thanks to Gen Yoshida's efforts, the process of mass production of graphene using organic synthesis was quickly developed, and the results obtained were satisfactory after small tests. Saburo Hanaya immediately ordered the transformation of an existing carbon material production plant for mass production of graphene, and it was imperative to occupy the largest possible market before Daqin Group expanded its production scale.

For the process he developed, Yoshida Gen was not very satisfied. The main point of this process is to synthesize polystyrene resin with phenyl organic supramolecules with a similar structure to graphene, and then generate graphene molecules by guΓ²cyclic dehydrogenation. This method is able to produce graphene, but the cost and purity of the finished graphene product are not satisfactory enough.

If Yoshida can be given more time, he can find some more ideal polymer reagents to replace the phenyl material currently in use. The new reagents can effectively reduce costs, improve the purity of the finished product, and facilitate the modification of graphene.

However, this wish has not yet been realized, because Daqin Group has been putting products on the market too fast to allow Shinzuka Chemical to improve the process slowly. Saburo Hanaya's request to mass-produce graphene within three months is completely beyond Yoshida's capacity. All he can do is to make some repairs to the original carbon product production process for the production of graphene, and as for the cost and quality, he can't think about it so much for the time being.

"The renovation of one of the largest reactors has already been completed, and we will be able to pilot graphene production in the next week at most. The initial production is about 20 kilograms a day, and if the trial production is smooth, then the subsequent production capacity will be more than 200 kilograms per day. Gen Yoshida reported to Saburo Hanaya.

"The pace will continue to pick up." Saburo Hanaya frowned and said, "Time is very precious to us. ”

"It's the limit of our speed." Yoshida replied with some affection that in the past three months, he and his subordinates have almost forgotten to sleep and eat, first developing the process and then renovating the equipment. This means that only the Japanese have such a spirit, and the pampered Germans would never accept this kind of job requirements.

Of course, Saburo Hanaya also knew about Yoshida Yuan's efforts, he smiled and said to Yoshida Yuan: "Yoshida-kun, the company is looking at the hardships you have paid. Our graphene can be mass-produced, you are the biggest hero, and the company will not treat you badly. But now the pressure we are facing is really very high, you know, the Chinese sent a sales team, led by the sales minister of Daqin Group, who is promoting their graphene in Europe. Every day we delay, there will be an old customer who is snatched away by them. ”

"With their production of 5 kilograms a day, how can they sell it aggressively?" Yoshida asked disdainfully.

"Yoshida-kun, I'm afraid your news is a bit outdated." "According to what Yoshiki Morioka has learned from some customers, Daqin Group has promised them that they will be able to supply more than 20 kilograms of graphene per day. ”

"In total?" Gen Yoshida asked.

"No, it's every business." "According to Morioka's statistics, Daqin Group has committed to more than 200 kilograms of daily supply, not including some companies that have not disclosed relevant details to us. ”

"How is this possible?" Gen Yoshida was surprised, "They simply don't have such production capacity. ”

Saburo Hanaya said: "I guess the Chinese have also woken up and realized the size of the graphene market, so they have expanded their production capacity. However, the information we have so far is only their sales intentions, and it does not mean that they really have the ability to do so. So, we have to speed up and not let their wishes get their way. ”

"But ......," Yoshida's face darkened a little, "if they are interested in expanding their production capacity, it means that their production costs will be greatly reduced, and we will face cruel competition." (To be continued......)
