Yoshiki Morioka said an angry word, but Nichol's reply obviously did not mean to be restrained, but followed by a shout. Yoshiki Morioka is also a person who has been in the business for many years, so how can he not hear the meaning of this. The other party dares to say this, could it be that he can really find graphene under 5 US dollars?

"Mr. Nichol, are you saying that the graphene you currently get from the Chinese is priced under $5 per gram?" Yoshiki Morioka lowered his voice a little and asked. In fact, he did not mean to hide it from anyone, but he used this tone to indicate that it was an inquiry of a private nature.

"Yes, the supply price of graphene sold to us by China Daqin Group is $5 per gram." Nicol officially reported to Yoshimitsu Morioka.

"Are you sure?" Yoshiki Morioka couldn't believe it at all, but Nicole's statement made him feel that it was true.

Nicol didn't bother to talk to Morioka Kaki Rosso anymore, he snorted and said, "I assure you with my personality that this price is indeed the supply price of the Daqin Group. And as far as I know, the prices they supply to several other companies are also around this level. ”

With that, Nichole put the phone down, knowing that it would take some time for Shintsuka Chemical to digest the information, and when they were able to reduce the supply price to this level, Yoshiki Morioka would definitely contact him again. As for the price reduction, he didn't want to listen to any more nonsense.

Yoshiki Morioka was stupid, he didn't know how he put the microphone back on the landline, he looked at Saburo Hanaya, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.

"$5?" Saburo Hanaya turned his head to look at Yoshida Yuan, he also heard Nichol's words on the phone just now, and when it comes to this Cheng Dù, it is no longer interesting to suspect that the other party is cheating.

"The Chinese are engaged in dumping!" Yoshida Gen held back for a long time. Finally held back a reason, "In order to monopolize this market, they are selling at a price below cost!" ”

"It's unlikely, isn't it?" Yoshiki Morioka shook his head, "They don't have to do this, in fact, at $8 or $10 per gram, they have been able to keep us out of the market." There's no need to lose money on promotions. The only explanation is that they do cost less than $5 to produce. Yoshida-kun, can you guess how they did it. ”

"Unless ......" Yoshida Gen's lips moved, as if he wanted to say goodbye.

"Chairman, this is a piece of news that I just found." Saburo Hanaya's secretary walked in and handed over a piece of printer paper. Shintsuka Chemical has its own intelligence department, which keeps track of all kinds of information related to itself around the world. General information is presented in a compilation format to executives and relevant functions. And especially important intelligence. It will be reported directly to Saburo Hanaya as it is now.

"It is a news ...... just broadcast by China National Television," Saburo Hanaya glanced at the headline on the printer paper and said, "The news said that the Cen Zhou Carbon Material Factory in Anhe Province, which was built with an investment of 2.2 billion yuan by Daqin Group, equivalent to 265 million US dollars, was officially put into operation after two months of trial production at full capacity. Relevant officials attended the commissioning ceremony. The main product of this carbon material plant is graphene, which is used in the vapor deposition process. Nissan...... 1500 kg! ”

"Hiss......" Yoshida Gen covered his cheeks and fell directly on the stool. A one-time investment of 265 million US dollars directly formed a daily production capacity of 1,500 kilograms, what a crazy act, but this Qin Hai actually made it.

$265 million, even for Shintsuka Chemical. It's also a terrific investment. This is not to say that Shintsuka Chemical has not made such a large investment, in fact, it is not surprising that a large ethylene plant, or some other chemical plant, has invested 500 million or 1 billion US dollars.

The point is. Graphene is a completely new product, and no one can say how big the market demand is. Under normal circumstances, a company should first build a small or medium-scale plant, such as 100 kg per day, or 200 kg, to test the market demand. If the market demand is less than this amount, then the enterprise will not be burdened too much due to the small upfront investment. If the market demand is large, then the supply will exceed demand for a period of time, and there is also the effect of hunger marketing, which can obtain some additional profits.

This is how Shintsuka Chemical considered, so the first set of equipment renovated by Yoshida Gen was a scale of 200 kilograms per day. Previously, Yoshida Yuan heard from Wang Xiaochen that Daqin Group was only preparing to form a production capacity of 5 kilograms per day, and later based on feedback from customers, he speculated that Daqin Group might build a set of about 200 kilograms of equipment. Yoshida also speculated on the cost of graphene for Daqin Group based on this production scale. What he never expected was that Qin Hai would dare to throw in nearly 300 million US dollars at once and create a set of devices with a daily output of 1,500 kilograms.

Isn't he worried about overcapacity?

Yoshidagen didn't know that Qin Hai had full confidence in the graphene market, because he understood the performance and application range of graphene, and knew that once the price dropped, graphene could be used in many fields, and the demand for graphene products in these fields was very huge, and it could completely digest the daily production capacity of 1500 kg.

Qinhai opened up the research of graphene and recruited technicians from all over the world to Hongze to study the application of graphene, which is also preparing for the expansion of the graphene market. Under normal circumstances, it can take two to three years for a company like Mammon to notice the impact of graphene and develop new products based on graphene. Under the promotion of Qin Hai, this process only took three months, and now all kinds of special films produced by Mameng Company with graphene as raw materials have swept the entire European and American markets, and the supply of 20 kilograms of graphene per day is a bit insufficient, and is actively contacting Daqin Group to ask for an increase in supply.

Daqin Group quietly built a set of 1,500 kilograms per day plant, hiding from peers, including Niizuka Chemical. By the time the news was finally exposed, they had been secretly producing at full capacity for two months, and as for what kind of trial production these two months were, it was simply an insult to everyone's IQ. Whose device was at full capacity during trial production, according to the cost of $5 per gram of graphene, the full load production is $7.5 million a day, is there such a bold "trial production"?

To put it bluntly, isn't it just covering your ears and stealing the bell? But Niizuka Chemical didn't hear the bell, and happily wanted to fight a price war with others.

People's craftsmanship is better than yours, and the scale of the production unit is 7 times that of yours, what do you use to fight a price war?

"Chairman, what should we do?" Yoshiki Morioka looked at Saburo Hanaya and asked as if he was crying.

"Stop the production line...... "Saburo Hanaya ordered through gritted teeth, "If we continue to produce, we will be dragged to death by Chinese!" ”

The secretary immediately went to convey the order, and Saburo Hanaya turned to Yoshiki Morioka and said, "Our products can't compete anymore, and what we need to think about now is to stop losses as much as possible." Morioka-kun, if you contact each customer again, you will say that our graphene is in accordance with the ...... Available at $5 per gram. ”

"That's all there is to it." Yoshiki Morioka sighed, the cost of $14.5, sold at a price of $5, would cost nearly $10 per gram. But what if you don't? The backlog of graphene in the warehouse will definitely be depreciated and sold in the end, and if it is not sold at this time, it will not be possible to sell it at a better price in the future.

"Yoshida-kun, do you think we still need to continue producing graphene?" Saburo Hanaya asked Yoshida Gen again.

Yoshida Gen nodded and said, "Yes, unless we really have to give up this market." Graphene must be an important raw material in the future, in addition to pure graphene, there will be a variety of modified products, we cannot give up the opportunities for these products. Chairman please rest assured, I will lead my subordinates to work hard to improve the process and reduce the cost to the same level as the Chinese. ”

"You go ahead and do it." Saburo Hanaya said with difficulty, he knew that Yoshidagen's opinion was correct, and even if Nizuka Chemical could not compete with Daqin Group in graphene now, it would be impossible for it to give up the graphene market in the future. This product will have more and more uses in the future, as a company with strong strength in carbon chemicals, how can it not enter the graphene market?

It shouldn't be, it's just that I was too anxious before, and I didn't expect the opponent to have such a big move, so I squeezed myself out of the door at once. If, as Yoshida Gen requested, he could be given more time to fully optimize the production process and reduce the cost to a lower level, it would be impossible for Shintsuka Chemical to be powerless in front of Daqin Group.

It's not too late to make amends, and what we need to do now is to dispose of the backlog of products first, and then give Yoshida Gen more time to solve the cost problem. As for how much profit the Daqin Group can grab during this time, Hanaya Saburo doesn't want to think about it, it's not something he can change.

"Qin Hai is really a terrible opponent." Saburo Hanaya took the love newspaper and muttered.

Yoshiki Morioka said: "If we can't contain the Daqin Group, within 10 years, it will challenge us in the market where we have a dominant advantage. ”

"Yes, in order to curb the Daqin Group, we must master the technology of graphene, and we must also win the trust of customers, as for how to do this, Morioka-kun and Yoshida-kun, please leave it to the two of you."

Saburo Hanaya bowed deeply to the two subordinates, and Yoshioka Yoshioka Yoshiki and Yoshida Gen hurriedly got up to return the salute, a tragic and solemn scene. (To be continued......)
