Factory 703, a small state-owned material factory that was originally hidden in Shonan.

At the beginning of last year, there was even news that the factory was going bankrupt.

In less than a year, it suddenly became a super factory with an annual revenue of more than hundreds of millions of yuan and a net profit of nearly 100 million.

Originally, I don't know how many people tried their best to leave the 703 factory, but now they want to come back in every possible way.

Last year, although most of the carbon fiber and carbon-carbon composite materials produced needed to be supplied to rocket engines and J-10.

But the rest of the material also generates a lot of profit after export.

Because the carbon-carbon composite material is not very sufficient for the rocket engine of the Rocket Research Institute, some need to be separated for the J-10 engine turbofan 10, so there is not too much export.

However, even carbon fiber cloth, which is used as a raw material for base embryos in composite materials, is still sold overseas due to the low cost and high production volume brought about by advanced preparation processes.

Every kilogram of carbon fiber cloth can be sold for more than 200% profit.

The cost price is currently around 550 yuan per kilogram.

At the beginning, the workers of the 703 factory were not particularly familiar with the production process of high-strength carbon fiber cloth, and the production efficiency was not very high.

As a result, in the early days, the production cost of high-strength carbon fiber cloth was higher than it is now.

"Director Hu, how is the progress of the first phase of the plant expansion project?"

After turning around between the production lines in the 703 factory, Zhang Xingyang asked Hu Deming, who accompanied him.

Because the follow-up, whether it is a YF-100 liquid oxygen kerosene engine or a WS-10 turbofan engine, a large number of carbon-carbon composite materials are required.

Therefore, the production capacity of Plant 703 needs to be expanded, otherwise it is difficult to support the production of hundreds of YF-100 liquid oxygen kerosene engines and the same hundreds of WS-10 turbofan engines per year with the current production capacity.

The location of the new factory is not very far from the current factory building of the 703 factory, because the planning scale of the 703 factory is very large.

At a time when various places are frantically attracting investment, it is very valued by the local people.

Directly gave a large industrial land with an area of more than 3,000 acres, and also helped to complete the early stage of the three-way and one-level work.

Otherwise, if it is really a wasteland, then it will take a lot of effort from the 703 factory to carry out road transportation, water connection, electricity connection, and site leveling work.

"Now I have just contacted the design institute to start the design work, and it is expected that the drawings will be completed within a month." Hu Deming replied.

"Has the construction unit found it?"

"After the completion of the new plant, it is necessary to use new production technology, and the requirements for the environment are higher than now, so the construction of the plant must not be sloppy!"

Zhang Xingyang stopped, stood in a corner of the factory and began to communicate with Hu Deming.

"I contacted several construction units in this province, but they all had no construction experience in this area, so they all refused."

Speaking of this, Hu Deming frowned a little.

At this time, although the country has begun to build a large country in all aspects, everyone generally builds all kinds of residences, office buildings, and shopping malls.

For the construction of specialized high-standard industrial plants, the experience is not very sufficient.

"If you can't find it in this province, you can find it in other places, and there should be many companies with construction experience in East China and South China!"

Zhang Xingyang also frowned slightly at this time, he didn't expect that it would be so difficult to find a company with construction experience in this area at this time.

"The new process has high requirements for ambient temperature, humidity and cleanliness, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Dean Zhang, it's not good to produce according to our current production process, and the requirements for the plant and workers are not so high."

Hu Deming still has some confusion about why he wants to promote the new production process at this time:

"If we had followed our current production process, we would have been able to build a new production plant in no time."

Zhang Xingyang also knew what kind of calculation Hu Deming had in mind.

As the director of the 703 factory, he has experienced the state of this factory from dilapidated to hot, and he is now actually satisfied with the status quo of the 703 factory, and he doesn't particularly want to toss.

"The cost of high-strength carbon fiber cloth we produce is still too high, and if we can't continue to reduce costs, then sooner or later we will be eliminated by other factories that develop more low-cost carbon fiber!"

Zhang Xingyang was educating Hu Deming very seriously.

"In fact, in recent years, the international carbon fiber preparation process has been developing and improving, and the preparation cost of various large factories has been decreasing!"

Hu Deming doesn't know much about these things, to put it bluntly, he is just a factory director, and he doesn't know much about these international cutting-edge information.

"To say one you can feel, the international shipment price of carbon fiber cloth has been decreasing, from last year to the present, the price per kilogram of carbon fiber cloth has been reduced from about 280 US dollars to about 250 US dollars."

Regarding this matter, Hu Deming has some feelings that are not particularly clear.

The head of Snecma, which had been purchasing their high-strength carbon fiber, had complained not long ago when he signed a new supply contract.

Snecma ordered such a large amount of carbon fiber, and the 703 factory did not even reduce the price!

After Hu Deming heard some information about Zhang Xingyang's carbon fiber frontier, he already understood why the person in charge said this at that time.

It should be a big international manufacturer, and a certain price reduction was carried out at that time.

Although compared with the price of 220 US dollars per kilogram of carbon fiber cloth produced by the 703 factory, the price of other large factories is generally about 15% higher.

However, compared with the previous price gap of nearly 30%, the price advantage is not so obvious!

"Of course, you don't need to be nervous, even at the same price, the strength of our material is still much higher than their carbon fiber cloth, which has certain performance advantages!"

Zhang Xingyang glanced at Hu Deming, whose brows were furrowing more and more, and said.

"However, if the new plant and new process are put into use, then we will build a huge price barrier!"

Hu Deming also had a lot of curiosity about the new process at this time, and asked:

"Dean Zhang, after the new process is put into use, how much can we reduce our costs?"

"Although the requirements of the new process have been improved a lot in all aspects, when producing carbon fiber cloth of the same strength, the cost per kilogram of carbon fiber cloth can be reduced from the current 555 to about 380!"

"The cost reduction is still secondary, the key is that the production efficiency has been improved a lot, and the output of the same production line per hour can be increased to twice the original one!"

Zhang Xingyang looked at Hu Deming with a shocked face and slowly said the answer!
