Ten years ago, the development of Huaxia carbon fiber, Toray, Hatch giants were not particularly concerned.

At most, it is to arrange some personnel to understand the level of Huaxia in a timely manner.

The others are not interested in knowing too much.

After all, the gap between everyone is too big.

In the eighties and nineties, people have already achieved large-scale mass production of T300 to T700 and T800, while Huaxia did not complete the mass production of T300 before the emergence of Nanshan carbon fiber, let alone other advanced products.

However, after the birth of Nanshan Carbon Fiber, the situation began to change.

Toray's carbon fiber export value immediately ushered in a crash-like decline.

And the fact that Nanshan Carbon Fiber came up with T300, T400, and even T700 also spread quickly.

After all, the National Science and Technology Progress Award has been awarded, and it can be bought on the market, so it is not particularly difficult to inquire about relevant information.

The scale of the carbon fiber production line is relatively large, and it is not something that a few people can do in the laboratory.

Such a large factory was built in Chang'an City, and it was impossible to keep it completely secret.

So soon, Nanshan Carbon Fiber mastered the technology of T800, and Toray and Hecks also knew.

In this way, Nanshan Carbon Fiber is completely regarded as its number one competitor by Toray and Hatch.

A new technology material, when Huaxia can not produce it, the price is definitely very high.

People make it clear that they want to hack your money, but you don't need to have the ability?

But once Huaxia can achieve domestic production, the price will definitely usher in a plummet.

Carbon fiber is no exception.

Because of Nanshan Carbon Fiber, Toray and Hearst's profits have been declining for several years, and it is impossible for the other party to ignore the existence of Nanshan Carbon Fiber.

So this time, the small batch of Nanshan carbon fiber T1100 off the assembly line was more or less inquired about part of the information by the personnel arranged in advance by the other party.

"Kondo, is this incident you reported true?"

"T1100 is a material that we have studied for 20 years and have not achieved large-scale mass production, and now you tell me that Huaxia people have begun to build a production line to achieve trial production of small batches?"

Saga Nu stared at Taro Kondo with a confused face.

In his opinion, the news is simply incredible.

He wouldn't be surprised if the American Hearst broke through the technology of the T1100 and produced the IM8, or even the IM10.

After all, it is the queen carbon fiber manufacturer of the American military industrial enterprise, and its technical strength is not much worse than Toray.

But Nanshan carbon fiber ......

It was just a rising star, and somehow broke through some carbon fiber technology, and Toray suffered heavy losses.

In recent years, Toray has also made great efforts to understand the situation of Nanshan carbon fiber.

Taro Kondo was able to get some of the news so quickly this time, which is also related to the arrangements and efforts made before.

"Although it is not known why they were able to achieve the development and mass production of the T1100 in such a short period of time, this news should be accurate."

"And we inquired about a factory area of Nanshan Carbon Fiber, and the vigilance has been strengthened."

"Once this news officially spreads, it will definitely be a major negative news for our stock price."

Toray's current situation is already a bit miserable.

But the T800 has always been the world's most advanced carbon fiber material.

Without the Huaxia market, it will not be impossible to survive.

But if the T1100 comes out, but the manufacturer is not Toray, the situation is a bit serious.

Even for Toray, this is fatal news.

"Arrange people to further inquire about the specific content behind this news, and clarify the actual situation of Nanshan Carbon Fiber as soon as possible."

"In addition, the company will immediately dispatch a group of R&D personnel to be responsible for the commercial production of T1100, and strive to achieve mass production as soon as possible in the next few years."

Although Saga Nu was very anxious in his heart, he had not completely lost his bearings.

The T1100 is not a new product for Toray, and they have been producing it in the lab for a long time.

Even for the mass production of the T1100, they have been doing research for many years.

Now it's just a kick in the door.

Of course, this one-step Toray has also been tossed for several years, and maybe it will need to be tossed for several years, maybe it will be done next year.

What it will be like in the end, no one can say.

In the field of materials science, many times it is a matter of trial and error.

You can't predict exactly what the situation will end up in and when a breakthrough will be made.

If you're lucky, maybe someone else has been doing something that hasn't been done for years, you can do it in a month.

If you're unlucky, you won't get any results in your life.

Therefore, many companies are reluctant to engage in basic scientific research on materials, which is really a bit uncoordinated between input and output.

The key is still full of uncertainty.

If you go to attract investment, such an uncertain project, few investors are interested.

"President, now only Nanshan Carbon Fiber should have completed the mass production technology of T1100 in the world, and there is no news about this in the United States and Europe."

"Are we also leaking this news to opponents such as Hearst in the United States to see if they have any way to stop the continuous progress of Nanshan Carbon Fiber?"

If you can't handle yourself, then you can get someone else.

As the head of Toray's sales department, Taro Kondo has not used a variety of means.

This time to deal with Nanshan Carbon Fiber, he naturally will not watch and do nothing.

"What do you think would be the reaction if Hearst knew that Nanshan Carbon Fiber's technology was already more advanced than theirs?"

Saga did not refuse Taro Kondo's offer, but began to consider the pros and cons of doing so.

Although it is said that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, but to say that Toray and Hirsch are friends, Saga Nu really can't say it.

You're a real competitor.

"High-end carbon fiber technology must be the first to be used in the military, missiles, satellites, and fighter jets are all important application scenarios of high-end carbon fiber."

"Hatch should have a very vocal voice in this."

"The military industry in the United States can be so developed, and Hatch also has a share of the credit."

"Now Huaxia has not only mastered the T800, the world's most advanced carbon fiber technology, but also taken the lead in breaking through the technology of T1100, and has completely walked in the world."

"This means that their satellites can be made lighter, their ICBMs can be launched farther, and the structure of their fighter jets can be further optimized, which is something that many people can't accept."

"We just need to pass the message to the other side, and as for how they will react, I think we just need to see the results."

Taro Kondo also didn't want to say too much speculation.

After all, the reaction of the American side, he really couldn't guess it.

But based on what he knew about Hearst in the past, it was impossible for the other party to be indifferent.

If Toray had been the first to break through the T1100's technology, Hearst's reaction might not have been particularly violent.

After all, everyone is very clear about the situation between Dongying and the United States.

At that time, the first breakthrough was made by Huaxia's Nanshan carbon fiber, and the situation was completely different.

To put it mildly, in the carbon fiber industry, this is the fall of the sky!

"Then share the information we have with each other as soon as possible."

"I believe that in dealing with Nanshan Carbon Fiber, the other party is of the same mind as us."

Saga Nu didn't dwell on it again this time, and directly gave clear instructions.

And with Toray's action, the American Hearst side immediately took action.

"David, although our IM10 carbon fiber from Hatch has also reached a critical period of research and development, and the technical preparation for mass production can be completed at any time."

"But no one knows exactly when that day will come."

"Now that the Chinese people have come up with it in advance, then they will definitely take the lead in using it in the military industry."

"And the other party definitely has no intention of exporting this high-performance carbon fiber material, otherwise, such a major technological breakthrough would have been broadcast on the news of Huaxia TV."

"In this case, we need to think carefully about what we need to do."

Hatch is just a materials supplier, and it's not a big company like 3M.

Therefore, relying on their own strength, there is definitely no way to achieve the goal.

But Hatch's own influence is not enough, its customers are enough.

Like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, are its customers.

Today, Thomas, the president of Hearst, came to discuss the supply of carbon fiber materials with David Boeing's purchasing director.

Boeing is such a big company, and it is naturally difficult for Thomas to talk directly to the president of Boeing.

It is more feasible to communicate with the purchasing director first, and then let the other party communicate within the company.

"Our aircraft, missiles, and satellites use a large number of carbon fiber composite materials, which is an important guarantee for the performance of the product."

"In the past, we even restricted the export of T700 and T800 products to Huaxia, but now the other party has not only broken through these technologies, but also taken the lead in realizing the large-scale mass production of T1100, which is definitely an unacceptable thing for us."

"The existence of Nanshan carbon fiber cannot lead to a decline in the competitiveness of our military industry."

Although David is engaged in procurement, the purchasing director of Boeing is not something that ordinary people can do.

After hearing Hearst update him on the new situation in the carbon fiber industry, he immediately had an idea.

Can't let the development of Nanshan carbon fiber go!

It can't even make Nanshan Carbon Fiber smoothly achieve large-scale mass production of T1100 carbon fiber.

I'm going to have to find some problems for them.

"Yes, I think so too, so after knowing the news, I immediately contacted you."

Naturally, Thomas fully agreed with David's statement, otherwise he would not have come to him today.

"When will Hatch's T1100 be produced?"

Before deciding how to take the next step, David obviously wanted to make sure that the situation was on Hearst's side.

If the same T1100 material can be made quickly, then the matter is not so serious.

At most, Huaxia's carbon fiber has been in line with the international level.

But if it weren't for that, the situation would be completely different.

"We are now developing IM8 and IM10 simultaneously."

"So far, the progress is relatively smooth, and a breakthrough may be made at any time."

"But I can't give the specific time, maybe within this year, maybe next year, maybe a few more years, these are all possible."

"David, you must also know that the development of new materials is often full of uncertainty."

"I'd like to know the exact time, but I really can't give it up."

Although Thomas's answer was not what David wanted to hear, after listening to it, he knew it in his heart.

Nanshan carbon fiber, can't let it develop like that!

Normal competition can't get you, so you have to consider other solutions.

"Thomas, according to the news you heard before, in the Huaxia carbon fiber market, T600 and T700 products are basically only supplied by Nanshan carbon fiber, right?"

David quickly thought of a solution in his mind as he confirmed the news.

"That's right, other carbon fiber companies in Huaxia can only produce T400 at most, which is also the case of using Nanshan carbon fiber technology."

"Therefore, in a short period of time, only Nanshan carbon fiber is in production for high-end products above T400, and there is still a big gap between other Chinese manufacturers and this."

Although he couldn't figure out what David was trying to do, Thomas quickly told him what he had learned.

If Hearst wants to deal with Nanshan Carbon Fiber, it will definitely need the help of big customers like Boeing in the end.

And if you want someone to help, the information you provide must be as accurate as possible.

"The materials that Huaxia people can produce are often very competitive, and carbon fiber should be no exception, right?"

When David said this, Thomas looked slightly embarrassed.

He wasn't a little sure what the other meant.

Do you want to take this opportunity to knock yourself up?

It shouldn't be!

Everyone's relationship is so good!

"Their labor costs are very low, and the labor hours of the workers are very long, so the cost of materials is really lower than ours."

Although I can't figure out the real purpose of the other party, it's not easy not to answer the question.

"In this way, Nanshan carbon fiber products should also be very competitive in the international market, right?"

David asked a further question.

"Yes, because of the emergence of Nanshan carbon fiber, we have lost a lot of customers, and even Dongying has individual domestic manufacturers to buy materials from Nanshan carbon fiber."

It's all been communicated to this point, and Thomas simply broke the jar and broke it.

"High-end carbon fiber, basically for the military industry, Nanshan carbon fiber products are sold in the international market, so nine times out of ten are also sold to Persia and other countries, right?"

As soon as David asked, Thomas's eyes immediately lit up.

People in this industry are highly sensitive.

David's meaning was already so obvious that Thomas couldn't have understood it.

"David, can we make a fuss about the other party's sale of carbon fiber for military use to Persia and other countries?"

Seeing that he was about to find a solution to the problem, Thomas spoke in a slightly different tone.

can use some means to solve problems simply and rudely, he naturally doesn't want to make it complicated.

"That's right!"

"We can completely seize this matter and let Congress come forward to make a sanctions list, and then Nanshan carbon fiber will also be included."

"In the future, all the equipment and raw materials that Nanshan Carbon Fiber needs to use are not allowed to be sold to each other, and even whoever sells the corresponding equipment to Nanshan Carbon Fiber, we will hold everyone responsible."

Speaking of which, what kind of thoughts David holds, Thomas completely understands.

This idea seems completely feasible.

And when the time comes, you can also take this opportunity to muddy the water and see if you can fish in troubled waters.
