If high-tech companies want to develop by leaps and bounds, they must be supported by high profit points, and the ideal state is technology monopoly. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info obtain high profits through monopoly, and then invest in technology research and development, forming a virtuous circle, which is the common path of development of many high-tech companies.

Xijie Materials Co., Ltd. originally took this road, and achieved a monopoly position in the United States very smoothly. The company's partner, Kok, is an authority on graphene research, and through his continuous research and improvement, CJ Materials has the world's most advanced graphene production process.

It is a pity that the birth of Penglai Materials Company five years ago shattered the hope of Xijie Materials Company to become a global hegemon. Penglai Materials Company not only snatched most of the international market, but even the rice market was occupied by them 70%. If it weren't for the action of the U.S. government, the remaining 30% of the market would not have escaped.

"Now, we can finally recapture the rice market!" Cork also said excitedly.

Both of them laughed, not long ago, Penglai Material Company was still a mountain pressed on top of their heads, and now this mountain is finally going to be moved, how can they not be happy!

"Not only the rice market, we also have to compete with the Chinese people in the international market!" "Today, our production cost has dropped to $55, and the demand for graphene has increased dozens of times compared to six years ago." It won't be long before CJ Materials will be able to become the best high-tech company in the country and the world! ”

After the joy, Cork was a little worried: "Bruce, is it really okay for us to do this?" Although I have figured out the industrial production technology of graphene, now our production line does infringe on the patent of Penglai Materials. ”

Bruce smiled inexplicably: "Cork, you don't have to worry about this at all, you know, this time it is not only us who infringes on the patents of the Huaxia." ”

"Oh? Bruce, do you know anything? ”

Bruce said: "It's not easy. As far as I know, not only in the graphene industry, but also in other industries, there are well-known large enterprises in the United States that use Huaren's technology without obtaining technology authorization, which is obviously not a coincidence. ”

Kirk was shocked, he spent most of his time doing technical research and didn't know what Bruce was talking about.

"How is this possible?" Cork couldn't believe it.

Bruce laughed, "How could it be? The so-called interests are moving, and the Chinese people have now achieved a monopoly in hundreds of high-tech industries, just like the graphene industry. Penglai Group, the parent company of Penglai Materials Company, has been established for only five years, and its revenue has been close to 1.4 trillion US dollars, equivalent to 8% of the GDP of the United States last year! How did such a company grow, even if it was a technology monopoly! ”

"$1.4 trillion ......," Cork was speechless.

"The owner of Penglai Group, Lu Yang, the owner of Penglai Island, has accumulated so much wealth in just over ten years, and his strength is no less than that of the old consortium in the United States. With such a big interest, you say those consortia will not be blushing? Bruce said with mixed feelings, in his heart, Bruce admired Lu Yang very much, and at the same time, he was full of jealousy for Lu Yang.

"Consortium?" Kok muttered, he is a tenured professor at Northwestern University, and he is well aware of the consortium's strength and influence in the United States.

"Yes, they're ready to do it to Lu Yang. As far as I know, the companies that infringed on the patents of the Chinese people this time are all companies under the names of major consortia. Bruce added, "Including us!" ”

"I see." Cork finally understood that no matter how strong Lu Yang was, no matter how strong Lu Yang was, it would be impossible to compete with them in the rice market.

As the two were talking, Bruce's North Star rang out.

"What, Penglai Materials announced that it would cut the price of graphene to $60?" Bruce's muscular body stood abruptly and roared.

Cork stared at Bruce with wide eyes.

Two minutes later, Bruce hung up the phone and said dejectedly: "I just got the news that Penglai Materials Company announced that it will expand its production scale and cut the price of graphene by half." ”

"Really down to $60? So what do we do? The six gods of Cork asked.

Penglai Materials' statement is a lifeline for many people, and it is not only Xijie Materials that has been hit, graphene companies all over the world are facing extinction, and many listed graphene companies have dived.

"The graphene industry earthquake is coming!"

"The graphene industry has been reshuffled!"

"Penglai Materials Co., Ltd. has made a strong move to dominate the global graphene market!"

"If the price of graphene is reduced by 50%, global demand will rise sharply!"

For graphene users, the price drop is definitely a good thing, but for many companies that produce graphene, it is a catastrophe. According to the statistics of the International Graphene Association, there are more than 3,000 graphene-producing companies in the world, and more than 1,200 companies have gone bankrupt half a month after the graphene price was reduced.

In the news of graphene price reduction, Penglai Materials Company's lawsuit against 12 companies in the United States is not so conspicuous.

Lu Yang's blow also injured many Chinese enterprises by mistake. Fortunately, many Chinese companies have obtained Luyang's technology authorization, and although their profits have been affected by the price drop, they have not yet gone bankrupt.

"Curbing Omi is just one of our means." Lu Yang said to Su Yan, "We are only passively defending now, and by doing so, we will also suffer a lot of losses." ”

Su Yan has been paying attention to the changes in the international graphene market during this time, saying: "After the decline in graphene prices, international demand has soared, and according to our expectations, the demand for graphene in December will be three times that of November." Overall, our profit margins have decreased, but our total profit has not decreased. ”

"That being said, we can't just get beaten and not fight back." Lu Yang touched his chin and said, "The so-called patent rules are all set by Westerners, relying on this set of rules, they firmly control the high-tech field and suppress the development of developing countries." However, they can't play us anymore, so they want to play hooligans and change the rules, how can there be such a good thing in this world! ”

"Boss, what are you going to do?"

"Omi wants to rely on political asylum and blatantly steal our technology, and if they can do it, we can do it. Su Yan, you have registered some enterprises in Huaxia and used Western patented technology for production, and we will treat others in the same way. Lu Yang said in a dark voice.

"Is that appropriate?"

"What's out of place? The reason why the United States dared to come to us is because they have no demand for our market. The market of Penglai Island is not large, and it is impossible to achieve a reciprocal relationship with the United States. But Huaxia is different. Relying on patented technology, the United States obtains tens of billions of dollars in income in China every year, and they can't afford to lose this part of the money! ”

"Okay then, but we'd better talk to the government in advance."

"Okay, it's up to you to arrange it, the bigger the trouble, the better!"

Seeing that 2020 is about to pass, the world is getting more and more lively. The large-scale prosecution of Western companies by Penglai Group has not yet ended, and many Western companies have found that their patented technology has been used by Chinese companies for free. At this moment, the two sides suddenly broke out.

At the end of 2020, corporate litigation seems to have become a trend, and the international news economy sector is full of news of lawsuits by major companies every day, from automobile manufacturing, steel, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, to electronic products, communications, and technology patent disputes in various fields.

Few people know that behind this troublesome lawsuit is a game between two major political forces in the field of technology.

In the last month, many newspapers began to take stock of the development of the global economy in 2020. Lu Yang usually pays attention to this information.

Overall, the global economic growth rate slowed in 2020, mainly due to the rise of international trade protectionism. In addition, the trade war between the world's two largest economies, China and the United States, has also directly affected the growth of the global economy, and the World Bank predicts that global economic growth this year will be the lowest in a decade.

In such an economic environment, Penglai Island, which stands for its high-tech status, has not been greatly affected. According to the statistics submitted by Yu Hao to Lu Yang, Penglai Island's economic growth rate reached 38% in the third quarter, which is much lower than the previous two years, but it is absolutely a miracle that Penglai Island's economy is astonishing today.

At this rate, Penglai Island's total GDP in 2020 will reach about 3.3 trillion yuan, steadily surpassing Yangcheng and ranking third among major cities in China.

Lu Yang is not very satisfied with the development speed of Penglai Island, he said to Yu Hao two years ago that it will take three years to catch up with Shencheng and five years to catch up with Silicon Valley. Now the gap between Penglai Island and Shencheng is very small, only 400 billion yuan, but the gap with Silicon Valley is still very large, only equivalent to 50% of the other party.

"It seems that the period of super-rapid growth of Penglai Island has passed, and the development of Jinlong District and Sihai District is a little slower than expected. Among the 8 districts, only the Sanxian District has a GDP of more than one trillion yuan. Lu Yang thought secretly.

Of course, Lu Yang will not blame Yu Hao for this, after all, GDP does not speak for itself. In fact, the development of Penglai Island is already very good. Even with the support of high technology, the credit of the municipal government in charge of Yu Hao cannot be ignored.

As of the end of November, Penglai Island's registered population officially reached 5 million, an increase of 27% compared with last year, making it one of the largest cities in the world and the most economically developed city in the world.
