Chapter Eighty-Four: Never Admit Defeat! North America strikes back!

"Now the stock price has plummeted, enough for them to drink a pot." Cao Feiyu was full of energy and said excitedly, but the plateau looked very calm.

After Cao Feiyu finished speaking, Gao Yuan smiled and said: "If nothing else, Kunlun Infinity should be our only project in the field of polymer materials in the recent period. ”

"As the so-called grasp the big and let go of the small, compared with the real high-tech field, although the output value of sports shoes is good, but it is not the core competitiveness, let the strategic partners do it, we still focus on big things."

Cao Feiyu knows that the core technology mentioned by Gao Yuan refers to battery projects, whether it is mobile phones and computers, or electric vehicles, all of which are inseparable from batteries.

If the solid-state battery project can really succeed, Kunlun will break out of the field of chemical fiber and plant its own banner on the battlefield of high-tech in the world!

……

One afternoon in late April, the special plane of the Japanese tire giant Bridgestone Group landed at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport.

Ishibashi Kishimoto and his senior assistant Yagyu Ota traveled all the way to Michelin's headquarters in Paris to discuss how to jointly deal with the ferocious offensive from China.

As the old saying goes, peers are enemies.

As a giant in the tire industry, Bridgestone was able to sit and play happily with Michelin, which was definitely the first time in the world.

And the reason behind this is very simple, the increasingly crazy attacks of the eight major tire groups in China have gradually made the traditional Western giants unable to support it.

The strength of Kunlun Rolling Stone technology lies in the fact that it is very different from traditional tires, and the more extreme the condition, the more stable the tires are.

The principle of this is that the performance of the rolling stone tire is released through the vibration frequency, and the high-speed state, sharp turning state, sudden braking state, etc., will bring huge friction and pressure to the tire, which is the opportunity for the rolling stone technology to release the performance.

In stationary tests, the Rolling Rock tires were mediocre, and the indicators were even weaker than Michelin and Bridgestone's premium products.

However, once it reaches high speed, the performance of the Rolling Rock tires will skyrocket like a rocket, and no matter what tests are carried out in any organization, the Rolling Stones tires will defeat all competitors with an absolute crushing advantage!

Consumers are not stupid, even if they have the intention to defend Western companies, they will not risk their lives, after all, tires are related to the safety performance of the car, related to the lives of drivers and passengers, and they must not be sloppy.

As a result, the situation of the traditional tire giants has taken a sharp turn for the worse, with sales falling again and again, and the finances are tight, and they have to rely on layoffs and state subsidies to survive.

Now, in order to help tire companies, Japan has introduced a subsidy program for the purchase of domestic tires, with a subsidy of 2,000 yen per domestic tire, and used tires can also be discounted from suppliers.

In this way, it is equivalent to half buying and half giving, supporting Japan's five major tire factories from falling, and all taxpayers will give them blood transfusions.

The main reason why the Japanese government has such a resolute attitude is that Japan, as an old neighbor of China, understands the methods of the Chinese people too well.

Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is intended for Pei Gong, and the Japanese authorities highly suspect that the ultimate goal of the plateau is actually to go to the Japanese automobile industry! That was the core pillar they could not afford to lose.

"Look." When the car drove through the Champs-Élysées, Ishibashi raised his chin out the window expressionlessly, "Even the proud French are now fashionable to wear Chinese sneakers." ”

Yanagi Ota looked at the president's line of sight, and saw that on the most expensive street in Paris, there were no less than ten Chinese brand specialty stores, Li Ning next to Dior, Anta close to Chanel, Heilan with Salvatore Ferragamo...

Moreover, the business of these shops is still very good, and many high-class people who are well-dressed and well-behaved are waiting in line to enter.

The car turned a corner, and Yagyu Ota saw a young Chinese couple, setting up a roadside stall selling sneakers and hiking boots from China.

They are professional purchasing agents, who used to help Chinese people buy brand-name clothing and bags, and now they have another business, purchasing sneakers from Huaxia and selling them to the French...

"It is human nature to pursue higher, farther and stronger." "Even the arrogant French can't resist the temptation to increase their athletic ability, and it has nothing to do with nationality or nationality, it's a purely technological issue," Yagyu Ota said. ”

Ishibashi Kishimoto bowed slightly, "I know, that's why I'm worried that if Michelin sells the company to North Americans, it will eventually cause our tragedy." ”

Yanagi Ota hurriedly said: "Your Excellency President, you made an accurate judgment at the beginning of the chemical fiber war, and the Sino-US war will eventually fall to our Japanese company, and the facts have fulfilled your opinion." ”

Ishibashi Kishimoto had a worried face and said with a wry smile: "The Chinese people disdain to talk about history with any civilization, because all the great civilizations in history are dead, and only they are still alive. ”

"Similarly, North Americans don't bother to talk to anyone about hegemony, because in recent centuries, all those who dared to compete with them for hegemony have died, including the former Soviet Union, which was once invincible."

"This is the ultimate great war in human history, and only North America and China are evenly matched opponents, and we are just spectators in this civilization struggle after all."

"Let's take this chemical fiber war as an example, Toyo Textile has fallen, Fuji Textile has fallen, and our Japanese chemical fiber companies are full of corpses and rivers of blood."

"But what about DuPont in North America? Not only did they not fall, but they also united with 3M Group, ExxonMobil Group, Goodyear Group, and prepared to acquire the French Michelin Group! They are not reconciled, do not admit defeat, and will fight again with the Chinese people in the tire market! ”

"We have to stop this acquisition, because once North America buys Michelin, with their strategy, they will inevitably fight the Chinese people to the end at all costs! And that would be a weight we can't bear! ”

"Before the chemical fiber war, it was not DuPont that died in the end, but our Japanese chemical fiber companies, and I was really worried that the tire war would repeat the mistakes of the past."

Yagyu Ota nodded heavily, he admired the judgment of the president very much, as early as the beginning of the chemical fiber war, he foresaw the final outcome.

And this time, they traveled all the way from Tokyo to Paris, also to prevent the North American acquisition of the Michelin Group.

Originally, the tire war was fought by Japan and France, which joined forces to fight against China.

The Goodyear Group, the largest tire company in North America, can only rank fourth in the world, behind Germany's Continental, and is often squeezed to fifth by Italy's Pirelli, and does not have a dominant market position at all.

If North America acquires Michelin, its tire industry will instantly become the world's first, and when North America and China war, I am afraid that Japanese and South Korean companies will die.

With apprehension in mind, Ishibashi Kishimoto walks into Michelin-starred President Fellaini's mansion in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, near the Boonne forest.

As soon as he entered the door, Shiqiao Kishi was slightly stunned, and found that many guests had already gathered in the living room covered with cashmere carpet at this moment, and although it was still daytime, they were holding champagne in their hands.

"This is normal, we were like this at the beginning, we were not prepared at all, and suddenly we were declared war by Kunlun Company." Fellaini shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly to a guest in a red suit: "I was holding a drinking party here that day, everyone was drinking red wine and eating truffle stewed oxtail, and suddenly I saw the plateau lift the red cloth and show an aviation tire, and I and the guests present were stunned on the spot!" ”

"Who would have thought that a group of Chinese people who make chemical fiber would actually build tires!?"

"Now that I think about it, that day was like a nightmare, and you know what happened from then on, Kunlun Rolling Stone slaughtered the world's major racing circuits, shocked the world, and Huaxia's eight major tire groups went out to the world, and their market share continued to skyrocket."

Ishibashi Kishimoto was dumbfounded, listening to Michelin President Fellaini tell his friends about his experience of being violently beaten by Kunlun Company.

He hurriedly took two steps forward and took a closer look, only to realize that it was not someone else who listened to the Michelin president's experience.

It was the boss of Nike Group who had just been beaten by Kunlun Company and his stock price was cut in half, Phil Knight!
