Chapter 646: The Formation of Suspicions
"It turns out that he is Gen Yoshida."
In Qin Hai's office, Qin Hai, Fu Wenbin, Long Changsheng, Li Linguang and others looked at a photo provided by Xu Xiaoqi with great interest and commented contemptuously.
Gen Yoshida thought that he didn't usually show up much, and he didn't interact with the scholars at the Anhe Institute of Materials, so no one would be able to recognize him. But he never expected that Xinzuka Chemical has never paid much attention to Daqin Group, but Daqin Group has always regarded Xinzuka Chemical as a potential competitor. In order to achieve the effect of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, the intelligence department led by Xu Xiaoqi once collected relevant information about Nizuka Chemical, and Yoshida Yuan's headshot was also attached to these materials.
"When he came to the School of Materials, he registered as a lecturer at Osaka Institute of Technology, and his real identity was not written." Wang Xiaochen introduced to everyone, "However, the two questions he asked me were not what the teacher would care about, but more like the concerns of the production enterprise, and I felt that something was wrong at that time." ā
Fu Wenbin said with a smile: "Haha, Xiao Wang is very experienced now, and with one or two words from others, he can judge that something is wrong, great, great." ā
"Dean Fu is laughing at me again." Wang Xiaochen blushed and said, "Isn't it the result of your and Dean Long's usual teachings that I can have such a little discernment?" ā
"I'm a teacher, but I haven't taught you the ability to read faces. I think, these abilities of yours should have been cultivated by Xiao Song, right? Long Changsheng commented with a smile.
"He can't do it, a lump of wood." Wang Xiaochen criticized Song Hongxuan, but that tone sounded a little insincere.
Qin Hai brought the conversation back to the topic and said: "That's right, Yoshida Yuan, as the technical director of Niizuka Chemical, has also done research on graphene for many years. Why register with a different identity? He refuses to show his true face, which means that he has a ghost in his heart, and Shintsuka Chemical must be planning to make some moves in graphene, for fear that we will find out and spoil their business. ā
"Makes sense." Li Linguang said, "The market for graphene is very large. Niizuka Chemical also has accumulation in this area, and it is normal to want to enter the graphene market, and there is nothing worth sneaking around. Yoshida Gen is doing this, obviously there are other conspiracies. ā
Qin Haidao: "The conspiracy is to squeeze us down and monopolize this market by ourselves." We have taken the lead in graphene research, accounting for two patents with the lowest production cost, and if they want to enter this market, they will either introduce our patents. Or just do it a different way, but then the costs go up and the profits are diluted. They are not willing to dilute their profits, so they have to engage in some conspiracy to suppress us. ā
"Haha, in fact, this is exactly the conspiracy that Mr. Qin designed himself, just waiting for Xinzuka Chemical to jump into the pit. We are clearly building a capacity of 15 tons per year. You asked Xiaochen to say that he only has the ability to 5 kilograms a day, isn't this just an intention to deceive Xinzuka Chemical? Fu Wenbin laughed. pointed out the hypocrisy of Qin Hai.
Qin Hai also laughed: "I'm just the heart of a villain, Japanese companies have always liked to make a little famous, Nizuka Chemical has been developing graphene, and now we are taking the lead, it's strange that they don't make a name." I deliberately concealed the production capacity, also to prevent them from doing it. ā
Things to do in the mall. It is indispensable to pay attention to the heart of harming others, and it is indispensable to have the heart of guarding against others. When Qin Hai arranged for Nie Sen to develop graphene, he had already studied all the competitors that might exist in the market, and Xinzuka Chemical was undoubtedly the most noteworthy one. Shintsuka Chemical has a rich accumulation of carbon materials, and its capital scale is also larger than that of Daqin Group. Graphene is a new material with huge market potential, and once this material comes out, it is strange that Shintsuka Chemical is not blushing.
Daqin Group is an influential large enterprise in China, but it is still in the second echelon internationally. Once Niizuka Chemical has its intentions, it will definitely use the power of capital to dump until Daqin Group is squeezed out of this market. In order to avoid being passive in the competition, Qin Hai had prepared various countermeasures in advance.
First of all, it is natural to postpone the release of graphene, leaving room for itself to study the industrial preparation process and start industrial production. When various institutions around the world got the news and rushed to Anhe to learn about graphene, Daqin Group has been quietly launching two sets of large-scale graphene production equipment, and the design capacity of the first phase of the project is more than 15 tons per year, which can almost meet the needs of the global market. As for the production cost of the equipment after it is put into production, it is far lower than the level of 20 US dollars per gram revealed by Wang Xiaochen to everyone, but it is only equivalent to about 1/10 of this level, leaving considerable room for price reduction.
With such preparations, if Xinzuka Chemical rashly starts the competition against Daqin Group, and the two sides start a price war, Daqin Group will have a great chance of winning.
Regarding these plans, Fu Wenbin and others are all aware. Qin Hai didn't deliberately keep this secret, firstly, because he trusted these old men enough to believe that they would not casually leak the heavenly secrets; Second, because his strategy belongs to the dignified array, if the other party knows, he can only give up the attempt of the price war, and there is no good means to break the situation.
Daqin Group, as the party that developed the technology first, naturally has the market dominance within a few years, which is something that Nizuka Chemical cannot change. Of course, if Xinzuka Chemical misjudged the strength of Daqin Group and adopted the practice of quick success, then it will maintain the advantage of Daqin Group for a longer time, which is the purpose of Qin Hai's doubtful formation.
Yoshida didn't know that his every move had been closely monitored by the School of Materials, and like everyone else, he stayed in the International Exchange Center of the School of Materials, received a graphene sample, rented a real room, and began to do some physical and chemical performance tests, and at the same time tried to find opportunities to find more inside information.
Qin Hai regarded this technical seminar as an excellent opportunity to learn from scholars from all over the world, and for every scholar who stayed to do the test, he instructed the School of Materials Science to arrange practical assistants for them to work together and master the research ideas and methods of others. Due to the limitation of travel expenses, those scholars from abroad generally do not bring their own assistants, and the School of Materials is willing to provide them with assistants, of course, they will not refuse. As for the fact that these assistants will learn some of their experience, they don't care, because it's not something to be cherished in the first place.
In the past two years, the source of students in the School of Materials has been greatly improved, although it still belongs to the junior college sequence in the national higher education system, but the enrollment score has long exceeded the general key universities. The source of students is good, and the ability of the teachers is extraordinary, and the level of students in the School of Materials is not much better than that of Beijing University, Huaqing and other schools. Students are eager to be assistants to foreign scholars arranged by the college, and everyone knows how honored it is to be able to get the guidance of a master.
Yoshida Yuan was also assigned two assistants, one of whom had done some graphene preparation work with Nie Sen, and his foundation was quite solid, and his emotional intelligence was quite high...... Well, the written language should be called a good bird.
"Yu Jun, if an excellent student like you can go to a well-known university in Japan for a few years of further study, the future is definitely promising." After successfully completing a practical yĆ n, Gen Yoshida said meaningfully to the student named Yu Yong. The other student was not in the real room at this time, which was a good time for Yoshida Gen and Yu Yong to communicate privately.
"Thank you, Mr. Yoshida, for the compliment, and I would like to have the opportunity to study abroad in the future. However, I have heard that university tuition and living expenses in Japan are very high, and if a student from a rural area like me wants to study in Japan, I am afraid that I can only think about it. Yu Yong replied in fluent English.
Yoshida shook his head: "No, I can help you get a scholarship in Japan, the University of Tokyo, or other universities, I have professors I know, and there is no problem in applying for a full scholarship for you." ā
"Really?" Yu Yong's eyes sparkled, "If that's the case, then I'm so grateful to Mr. Yoshida...... I don't even know how to thank you. ā
Gen Yoshida pretended to be reserved and said: "I don't want your thanks, I have always liked promising and hardworking young people. I have been observing you and your classmates these days, and I have found that you are much more diligent and perceptive than your classmates. ā
"This ...... Well, you've got a real prize. Yu Yong touched his head and pretended to be shy and said.
"An excellent student like you should be very valued by the school, right? You said you used to work in Professor Nie Sen's room, he must have been very nice to you, right? Gen Yoshida asked, pretending to be unintentional.
"Uh...... Well, Professor Nie is still very strict with students. Yu Yong said as if he was not asking, and his tone revealed a deep helplessness.
"It's a good thing to be strict." Yoshida Yuan heard Yu Yong's subtext, but he didn't instigate it immediately, but pretended to explain for Nie Sen.
"That's right." Yu Yong bowed his head and replied, "However, I still think that it is easier to be an assistant to Mr. Yoshida, and I can learn more things." ā
"However, in graphene research, I am not as experienced as Professor Nie Sen, and some problems require long-term practical accumulation to understand, but unfortunately I can only stay here for another week, and Professor Nie is unwilling to let us borrow past practical materials...... "Yoshida said in a regretful tone.
"These facts are easy to find." Yu Yong said almost without hesitation, "These materials are all casually placed in Professor Nie's real room, and I can help you find what Mr. Yoshida wants to see." (To be continued......)
