Chapter 390: Punching Porsche, Stepping on Toray

Nanshan Group wants to build a large-scale carbon fiber factory in China.

The meaning of this thing is very different.

The first significance is to meet the demand, because Huaxia's demand for carbon fiber is getting faster and bigger.

The second significance, the construction of the 10,000-ton carbon fiber production base, for the people engaged in the research of the material industry to establish confidence, foreigners can do, we Chinese people can also do, we may do better than him in the future, faster than him.

In this case, the relevant approval and docking are naturally fast and simple.

In the week of Cao Yang's inspection, the project of building a carbon fiber factory with a capacity of 10,000 tons in Chang'an City was finalized with all parties.

Nanshan Carbon Fiber is officially listed independently, and will put R&D and production in Chang'an City.

Chang'an City provides 1,000 acres of construction land for free, and also gives preferential policies of halving taxes in the first three years.

At the same time, some related enterprises took the initiative to give the green light to the construction of Nanshan carbon fiber.

Plant layout, equipment transportation, talent recruitment......

What Nanshan carbon fiber lacks, people will make up for it.

And there are no claims made on shares.

Obviously, they also did an investigation on Nanshan Group and knew that Nanshan Group did not like to build joint ventures with others.

So the first factory of Nanshan Carbon Fiber, they don't plan to make any trouble.

Anyway, according to the domestic demand for carbon fiber, the production capacity of 10,000 tons may not be enough in a few years.

At that time, when Nanshan Carbon Fiber built the second and third factories in China, there were naturally many opportunities.

"Mr. Cao, you guys are making a big deal."

"Now ninety percent of domestic carbon fiber depends on imports."

"Once this factory is officially put into operation, it can immediately become ninety percent of the demand and achieve domestic production."

"However, the new factory of Nanshan Carbon Fiber produces T700 and T800 carbon fiber, which is a high-end product."

"In terms of mid-range products, the demand for the T300 and T400 is actually very strong."

"The more high-end the product, the higher the price."

"At present, there is no domestic company that has achieved the large-scale mass production of T300 and T400, and we are willing to contribute people, money, and land to cooperate with Nanshan Carbon Fiber."

"You only need to provide the technology of T300 and T400 in the form of technology shares, and you can get a 30% stake in the joint venture."

"Mr. Cao, this condition of Guangwei is definitely very sincere."

Chen Liang's execution is very high.

Thinking of cooperating with Nanshan Carbon Fiber, he immediately took action.

After a preliminary understanding of Guangwei's situation, Cao Yang was also full of interest in this visit.

Although most people have not heard of this company, it is still relatively competitive among domestic private enterprises.

And the conditions put forward by Chen Liang are obviously also a study of the Nanshan Group.

Whether it is Yangcheng Huaqiang Factory or Xingyu Auto Lamp, these enterprises in which Nanshan Group participates account for 30% of the shares.

The cooperation method of Nanshan Group is also to provide technical or equipment support.

This time, Chen Liang obviously referred to the same method for the cooperation project of Nanshan Carbon Fiber.

"Mr. Chen, the prices of T300 and T400 on the market have always been relatively high before, but now they have begun to decline."

"When the Nanshan carbon fiber Chang'an plant is put into production, their prices will definitely drop faster."

"This means that Guangwei's profit margin for T300 and T400 is not as big as it is now."

"Have you considered this situation?"

People have the sincerity to cooperate, and Cao Yang naturally doesn't want to beat around the bush.

However, since we want to cooperate, we must make the situation clear.

Otherwise, when the time comes, everyone will have something dirty, it will not be beautiful.

"I naturally took this issue into consideration, but even if the price drops, there is still a lot of profit margin for us."

"The price was too high before, and now it is just gradually returning to normal levels."

"The material industry, logically speaking, should not be a profiteering industry, with a profit of twenty or thirty percent, which is already very high."

"For steel manufacturers like Baosteel, their profit margins are in the single digits."

Chen Liang felt some of the meaning of the other party's cooperation from Cao Yang's words.

Naturally, he stated his considerations more positively.

The two of them discussed in the conference room for a long time, and directly finalized the letter of intent for cooperation.

Guangwei will refer to Nanshan Carbon Fiber to find a suitable site in the north and build a carbon fiber factory with an annual output of 10,000 tons of T300 and T400.

Nanshan carbon fiber out of the technology, and then Nanshan equipment paid to sell the relevant equipment to Guangwei.

Considering that Nanshan Group already has a Nanshan carbon fiber factory, the factory that cooperates with Guangwei is directly called Guangwei factory.

Obviously, Cao Yang is going to make money.

Of course, the ugly words come to the fore.

After Guangwei obtained the relevant technology of Nanshan carbon fiber, all carbon fiber factories need to give Nanshan 30% of the shares.

It is not allowed to build any carbon fiber factories on your own.

Nanshan Group made two big moves one after another, and Liu Tianwu was a little anxious.

Nanshan carbon fiber Chang'an factory invested 30000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

This is even more important than the projects that will invest more than 10 billion yuan in the future.

Guangwei's carbon fiber factory, as the second large-scale high-performance carbon fiber factory in China, was soon determined to be built in the northern grassland province.

The scale of investment is similar to that of Nanshan Carbon Fiber, and it has also reached 2.5 billion.

If these two factories are placed in Yangcheng, Liu Tianwu feels that his position under his ass will be able to move this year.

"Mr. Cao, although it is difficult to provide so much land in our district for carbon fiber factories, in fact, there are many places in Yangcheng that have a lot of land."

"Whether it's east or north, or the southernmost side, it's not a problem to vacate one or two thousand acres of land."

"The domestic demand for high-end carbon fiber is very strong, once we achieve domestic production, not only can meet the domestic demand, but also by virtue of the price advantage, export overseas."

"So in fact, the current two factories are completely unable to meet the global demand for high-end carbon fiber."

"Do you think you can consider building another carbon fiber factory in Yangcheng?"

Liu Tianwu knew that he was likely to go to Yangcheng City to take up a position later.

So now my vision is no longer limited to the district I am responsible for.

As long as the new factory project of Nanshan Carbon Fiber can be placed in Yangcheng, any future will be his political achievements.

And what he said is not without any reason, the current two factories are almost enough to meet domestic demand.

It is not enough to meet the needs of foreign countries on time.

Any kind of material, after Huaxia realizes domestic production, it must have a price advantage in the world.

Carbon fiber is no exception.

"Thank you, leader, for your continued support."

"But carbon fiber factories are essentially in the category of chemical plants."

"There is a petrochemical plant in Yangcheng, which has caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the surrounding people, and there will be news that the petrochemical plant is going to be relocated."

"If you build a carbon fiber factory in such a situation, it will inevitably cause a backlash from the surrounding residents."

"The population density in Yangcheng is relatively high, and it is difficult to avoid that there will be no villages near the factory."

"In addition, high-performance carbon fiber materials are mainly used in the military industry, and Yangcheng has less demand in this regard."

"The construction of the factory in Chang'an City is not mainly my personal intention, but the decision made after listening to the opinions of customers."

In this case, of course, Cao Yang wants to throw the pot out.

Besides, what he said is also true.

Although there is also the meaning that Nanshan Group wants to go out of Yangcheng, the carbon fiber factory is indeed not suitable for Yangcheng.

In particular, in addition to producing high-end carbon fibers such as T700 and T800, Nanshan Carbon Fiber will actually produce T1000, the world's highest level of carbon fiber.

In the future, T1100, a material used exclusively for military purposes, will also be produced.

Both the T1000 and T1100 require a high degree of secrecy.

Even the production of the T800 is not publicized as much as possible, at least in the past few years.

Let everyone think that Nanshan Carbon Fiber only produces T700 products.

"You're right, high-end carbon fiber is indeed not suitable for Yangcheng."

"However, if our Yangcheng is not suitable, there are still many places in Lingnan Province that can be considered."

"Especially for mid-range products such as T300 and T400, the confidentiality requirements should not be so high."

Liu Tianwu is not such an easy person to die.

Although he can't leave the carbon fiber factory in Yangcheng, it is also a good thing for him to be able to stay in Lingnan Province.

He is confident that he will be able to become a leader in Lingnan Province in the future.

A new factory is built, and in a few years it is time to start to burst production capacity.

Even when it's time to expand production, I can still cut the ribbon.

"For the T300 and T400 projects, we are currently cooperating with Guangwei, and there may be no relevant capacity demand in the short term."

"However, if further expansion is needed in the future, I will definitely give priority to selecting a site in Lingnan Province."

Cao Yang knew that if he didn't even draw a big pie, Liu Tianwu would not give up easily.

Thinking that Lingnan Province is an important province in export trade, if the business of overseas export is oriented in the future, it is indeed possible to consider putting it in Lingnan Province for production.

For example, the westernmost prefecture is worth considering.

In the future, both Baosteel and BASF will build factories there.

"Mr. Cao, I take what you say seriously."

"There are a lot of people up there waiting for me to report."

Liu Tianwu said half jokingly, half seriously.

With Cao Yang's words, he can be regarded as a messenger.

Anyway, the GDP in the district will definitely be able to rank first in Yangcheng in recent years.

In fact, he personally does not have so much pressure to attract investment.

Of course, if you think differently in the future, that's another story.

However, Cao Yang completed the layout of carbon fiber during this time, and he was satisfied.

His competitors are uncomfortable.

"President, the news from our Huaxia branch is that Nanshan Carbon Fiber's factory in Yangcheng currently has the capacity to produce hundreds of tons of T700 per year."

"And the T800 product, they have probably touched the threshold."

"Otherwise, we will not invest 3 billion yuan in one go to build a carbon fiber factory with an annual output of 10,000 tons in Chang'an City."

"This will have a huge impact on the supply and demand relationship of the global carbon fiber market."

Taro Kondo reported the news to President Saga Nu with a heavy heart.

The news was worse than the worst they could have imagined.

The Chinese people are moving too fast.

The speed of Huaxia is too scary!

"Is there any movement on the American Hearst side? Have you contacted them? ”

Faced with this kind of problem, Sagano immediately thought of a competitor in the other part of the Pacific.

Although Toray has the highest market share in the carbon fiber market, Hatch has a higher market share than Toray in terms of high-end military products.

Those manufacturers in the United States, whether it is Lockheed Martin, Boeing Defense, or Raytheon.

They are all major customers of Hearst.

In this case, if Nanshan Carbon Fiber wants to come in and disrupt the market situation, Toray must join forces with Hirsch to discuss countermeasures.

Even several other carbon fiber manufacturers in Dongying, Toray is also ready to ask them out for a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

"I reached out to them, but Hatch didn't seem to care."

"Their products are mainly sold to specific customers, and even if Huaxia can produce similar grades of carbon fiber, it will not have much impact on their business."

"And I heard the news that their T1100-level materials have made some progress in the lab."

"Maybe in the future they will be able to launch this new material faster than we do."

"The president, the material manufacturers in the United States, have always taken the high-end route, and they like to develop some new technologies to continuously eliminate products with low profit margins."

"For them, the T700 is a product that is on the verge of obsolescence."

"Nanshan Carbon Fiber has mastered the production capacity of the T700, and the impact on them is not very great."

As soon as Taro Kondo said this, Saganu's face suddenly became unsightly.

He's also counting on Hearst in the United States to help him deal with Nanshan Carbon Fiber.

But now after listening to the analysis of his subordinates, he knows that there is no play.

To put it mildly, Toray was originally a competitor of Hearst and almost all of the civilian market was robbed by Toray.

The price of Hatch's products is relatively high, and it is not very competitive in the civilian market.

"Nanshan Carbon Fiber has only started the construction of a new factory now, and it will not be put into production until the second half of next year at the earliest."

"Taking advantage of this gap time, we have a good discussion with Toho and Mitsubishi to see how to make Nanshan Carbon Fiber's T700 business yellow."

"We can join forces to further reduce prices, and even wait until Nanshan Carbon Fiber's products are mass-produced, and we will directly sell the T700 at cost price."

Saga Nu can only think of this old trick now.

When you can't make this product, I'll make money at a high price, and you don't like to buy it.

When you can make this product, I will reduce the price until you are unprofitable and cannot operate.

Anyway, for Toray, T700 products have been produced for more than ten years, and all kinds of plant equipment amortization can be directly removed.

Sagano does not think that in this case, Toray's cost will be lower than that of Nanzan Carbon Fiber.

After all, in the cost of a new material, the proportion of R&D and equipment sharing is very large.

Even if Huaxia's labor has an advantage, he doesn't think he can cover these apportionments.

"That's all it can be."

"But should we also consider building a T700 carbon fiber factory in Huaxia?"

"At that time, the production costs will be similar to Nanshan carbon fiber, and we will be able to fight a price war with them more confidently."

For a long time, Toray's carbon fiber has been produced in China, and there are no plans to build a factory in Huaxia.

But now that the situation has changed, the planning naturally needs to be adjusted.

"Huaxia's carbon fiber market is growing very fast, and it is definitely a market that we can't give up."

"This proposal of yours can be carefully reviewed."

Although Saga Nu was very reluctant to go this far, his reason prevailed.

Although Toray's carbon fiber business is not Toray's only business, it is a major contributor to profits.

That must not be given up.

Otherwise, he, the president, will not be able to keep the position under his buttocks.

Invisibly, the emergence of Nanshan carbon fiber has also made a certain contribution to Huaxia's investment promotion work.

However, it is definitely not just Dongying Toray that is troubled by the emergence of Nanshan carbon fiber.

Porsche's CEO, Wei Dejin, was also very depressed when he looked at some arrangements at the Geneva Motor Show.

Xingchen Automobile came to the exhibition with Ziweixing, Yangwang and Starry Sky, and the publicity offensive has begun.

Don't think that only the Chinese people spare their lives, and the Europeans are the same.

The Star Sports Car had a car accident and hit the top of the bridge pier, and the front and rear of the car were scrapped, but there was no problem with the people at all.

This news can be used not only for propaganda at home, but also abroad.

It's just that the intensity of propaganda can't be as big as that within Huaxia.

But there is no problem in letting Porsche, which has always paid attention to Xingchen Automobile, know about this matter.

"Wolfgang, we have assessed that if the new 911 uses a lot of carbon fiber like Starfield, then the cost will increase significantly."

"At that point, we may need to double our selling price to cover those costs, which is unaffordable."

After learning about the performance of the Starry Sky sports car, Porsche also bought a Starry Sky and came back to disassemble and study.

Among them, hybrid systems and carbon fiber parts are the focus of their research.

However, the results of the study are not optimistic.

"In addition to the brand power, the star sports car is now not as good as Porsche, and the others have crushed the 911 in all directions."

"This is absolutely unacceptable."

"In view of this situation, the company's management needs to come up with an effective response plan."

"Otherwise, the future performance will become more and more ugly, and the board of directors may consider changing the management level."

Wolfgang was very unceremoniously threatening Weidkin.

If you don't do a good job, you may have to get out!

The board of directors asked you to take charge of the company, but you are not here to mess around.

This made Wei Dejin's pressure a lot greater.

In recent years, Porsche's growth in the Chinese market has been very fast.

If you lose the Chinese market, although it will not be unbearable, the financial report will definitely not look good.

The company is still thinking about whether it can buy Volkswagen in the future.

If the financial report is not good, many things will be affected.

"I'm going to talk to people in R&D and procurement to see if I can find a better way to deal with the threat of the Star Sports Car."

Wei Dejin had no choice but to bite the bullet.
