Li Zirui wanted to agree in his heart, this is the first military base in the backyard of the United States in China, and once it is completed, it will inevitably be at the forefront of the confrontation with the United States. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info As a Chinese soldier, it is too tempting to fight against the United States. For a real Chinese soldier, this is almost impossible to refuse.

However, Li Zirui is self-aware, he knows where his ability is, and he is not afraid at all when it comes to commanding, Li Zirui is a little weak in his heart. It's not that he doesn't want to go to Blanquilla Island, but he is worried that it will ruin Lu Yang's big business, so he can only refuse.

"I know what you think, but you don't have to worry. Just because you're going to Blanquilla doesn't mean you're responsible for everything. With the presence of artificial intelligence, even in the event of an emergency, Penglai Island is able to respond in a timely manner. Lu Yang explained that he didn't know that Li Zirui's ability was not enough to be on his own, but in terms of military affairs, Lu Yang's employment was first based on loyalty, followed by ability.

Li Zirui was still a little hesitant, but he was quite moved.

"Alright, it's not your style to twist and pinch." Seeing his appearance, Lu Yang scolded with a smile, "It's decided, you go and ask Brother Hai how to manage the military base." ”

Li Zirui saluted and went out.

After dealing with military matters, Lu Yang turned his attention to the economy of Penglai Island. He asked Su Yan to come over and asked her about the development of Penglai Group.

"I've seen a recent surge in the number of infringement cases handled by the company's legal department, what's going on?" Lu Yang asked.

Su Yan sat down and said: "We have also noticed this situation, in fact, since September, we have found that there have been many cases of infringement of our patents in the United States and Europe, and we have also filed lawsuits in accordance with the law." ”

Lu Yang leaned back in his chair: "Is there a result now?" ”

Su Yan shook her head: "It's still in the lawsuit, but I think it's not that simple this time." ”

"Oh?" Lu Yang sat up straight and asked, "Tell me more about it." ”

Su Yan stroked her hair, giving people a shrewd and capable impression: "It's not that we haven't encountered infringements before, but there have never been so many. Moreover, the fact that the infringing companies are all large companies of Omi, not those small ones, is very doubtful in itself. ”

"Yes, Omi's big companies know best about patent infringement, they are blocking developing countries with technology patents, sucking blood from developing countries, and now they are infringing on our patent rights, which is certainly not simple." Lu Yang thought so.

"Boss, I have investigated, the technical patents infringed by Omici enterprises are unavoidable in some fields, such as the industrial production technology of graphene, we have registered more than 500 patents, covering all aspects of the industrial production of graphene, and other companies can only buy technology licenses from us if they want to produce graphene." Su Yan said, "Other technologies are similar, they are all of this category. ”

"Are you saying that the other party is intentionally infringing?" Lu Yang asked.

"Quite possibly!" Although Su Yan is guessing, she has a lot of certainty, "The importance of graphene is self-evident, and its application is becoming more and more widespread, especially after the birth of graphene batteries." Internationally, our graphene products account for 95% of the market, and other companies simply can't compete with us. One of the most important reasons for this is that our technology is advanced and the cost is only 5% of that of our competitors. With such a gap, how can they compete with us? ”

The global graphene market has reached 200 billion and will maintain rapid growth in the next decade. Western countries predict that by 2030, the graphene market will reach 1,000 billion yuan. However, such a huge market is monopolized by Penglai Group, which makes many countries unwilling.

Su Yan continued: "Western countries can only buy technology from us if they want to expand graphene production, but you have raised the threshold for foreign companies to obtain technology licensing, and the cost of using technology is too high, which they are unwilling to bear." It is not impossible for them to resort to unconventional means, stimulated by interests. ”

Lu Yang listened, was silent for a while, and then said with a smile: "In this way, Western countries are going to play hooligans." If we guess wrong, we must not have been able to sue well, right? ”

"Hmm." Su Yan nodded and said, "Especially in the rice country." Twelve companies in the United States illegally used our graphene production technology, and the Ministry of Commerce of the United States not only did not face up to our request, but instead conducted an anti-monopoly investigation against Penglai Materials. ”

"It's rice country again." Lu Yang was very annoyed in his heart, such a blatant suppression, only the people of the United States could do it.

"In that case, even if we sue, it won't have much effect." Lu Yang said, "There is no advantage for foreign companies to sue local enterprises, and now that the government of the country concerned is obviously biased, we have no chance of winning." ”

Su Yan didn't speak, and agreed with Lu Yang's judgment in her heart.

"This matter can't be counted like this!" Lu Yang patted the table and said, "It's not that easy to steal our things!" ”

"Boss, at the moment, our most powerful means is litigation, but in the case of the favoritism of the Mi government, it is not uncommon for this kind of lawsuit to last for several years, or even more than ten years. Even if we win the case, we won't be able to get much compensation. Su Yan said, "If we want to solve this problem, we need to think of other ways." ”

"Do you have a plan?"

"Not yet, we can only rely on the legal department first."

Lu Yang thought for a while: "In the international market, we will go all out to snipe those infringing Mi companies, and grab their orders at any cost." If the rice company blocks our sales, then we will beat graphene to the price of cabbage and completely lock in the international market! ”

"This, won't it be too intense?" Su Yan didn't agree, Lu Yang did this, it was completely to die with the other party.

Lu Yang waved his hand: "We have a long-term vision. I'm not afraid of infringement by Mi companies, what I'm worried about is that they get huge profits from it, and then invest in the development of new technologies, so as to break through our technological blockade. ”

Su Yan immediately understood: "So you use this method to take the initiative to reduce the profit of graphene." We have an intelligent production line, which can guarantee profits, and even if the other party uses new technology, the cost will still be much higher than ours due to the gap in production methods. In this way, they can't make a profit! ”

"Hmm." Lu Yang nodded and said, "But this can't completely crush them, if the government of the United States prohibits the sale of our products in the United States, relying on the United States market, these companies still have the potential for development." In addition, orders from the government of the United States will also fall on them. ”

Su Yan calculated: "The current price of graphene in the international market is US$120 per kilogram, while our production cost is US$10 per kilogram. Graphene is currently sold at $150, and if they use our technology, the cost is expected to drop to $50. I guess they're going to sell for around $100. If we set the price at $60, then the products of the Chinese people will not be able to go abroad at all! ”

"That's $60." Lu Yang clapped his head, "I remember that four years ago, it was $200 per kilogram of graphene, three years ago it dropped to $180, last year it dropped to $140, and now we have reduced it by 50% all of a sudden, which is enough to deal a devastating blow to competitors!" ”

Tennessee, Rice Country.

"Cork, the Ministry of Commerce has decided to launch an anti-monopoly investigation against Penglai Materials Company, and our opportunity has come!" Bruce, president of MI CJ Materials, said excitedly to his partner Kok.

Kok is a professor at Northwestern University and one of the first scientists to study graphene. In 2014, he and Bruce founded CJ Materials, which quickly became the country's largest graphene producer with the support of the U.S. government.

In 2014, because of production technology, the price of graphene was very high, and Xijie Materials Company made high profits. Although the company is not large, Xijie Materials has been rated as "the most innovative enterprise", "the greatest high-tech company", "the enterprise that influences the future of mankind" and other titles by the media of the United States, which can be described as both fame and fortune.

However, since 2015, Xijie Materials has declined rapidly, and the cause is Luyang. Lu Yang founded Penglai Materials Company to enter the field of graphene production, and with the technology purchased from Tiandao credit card, Lu Yang reduced the price of graphene from comparable to gold to the price of cabbage, and the sales price of graphene was also greatly reduced.

In front of Penglai Materials Company, Xijie Materials Company was not competitive at all, and soon lost the rice market. If it weren't for the support of the Mi government, they wouldn't have been able to hold on to now.

In the most critical moment, CJ Materials received an investment from the prestigious DuPont consortium. With the DuPont consortium as their backing, Bruce and Cork had a better time, and they slowly gained a foothold by updating their technology and reducing production costs to $150 a kilogram.

With the country's strong scientific and technological reserves and the funds of the DuPont consortium, Cork soon made a technological breakthrough. However, he faced Lu Yang's patent blockade. Cork has made commendable achievements in the industrial production of graphene, but in the end, it was found that the relevant core patents have been held by Penglai Materials Company.

Bruce wanted to buy the right to use the technology from Penglai Materials, but Lu Yang unceremoniously refused, and in the end they only obtained the technology license. However, Lu Yang did not have any good intentions, and he was very precise in blocking the lifeblood of Xijie Materials: through patent fees and manipulating the price of graphene, Lu Yang always kept the profits of Xijie Materials to the minimum.
