Chapter 68: Funny, you're playing a price war with Daxia? Then start bombing!

Neon, central area of ​​Tokyo.

This can be said to be the most central location in the entire Neon area, including Ginza, Nihonbashi, and the Tokyo Stock Exchange, all of which are located in this area of ​​less than ten square kilometers.

Muromachi 2-1 is located right in the middle of the CBD business district, and the words "Toray Industries, Ltd." are hung in large letters on this hundred-meter-high building.

The owner of this building is Toray Group, the leader in the field of carbon fiber composite materials.

How to describe its status is like NVIDIA in the field of desktop graphics cards. Using GTX3060, 4070, etc., we can generally define the level of graphics cards, instead of using computing power to indicate the level of graphics cards.

整个碳纤维领域的‘T500’‘T700’这些所谓等级规格，并非碳纤维材料强度的‘命名方式’，而是全部源自于东丽旗下的‘T300、T500、T700等碳纤维系列。’

From this, we can see that Toray Group has the "supreme hegemony" in the entire carbon fiber material market.

In the president's office.

"Just pass this matter along." President Murakami Yukusu signed a document and handed it to the subordinate next to him.

The subordinate knelt humbly, with his head at a standard 90-degree angle, and asked, "How much do we need to reduce the production capacity to?"

This document does not specify how much production capacity needs to be reduced. It is just a notification of an abnormal accident, providing a signal to the entire market.

"The production capacity of all series of carbon fiber materials has been reduced by half."

Murakami Yunan tapped the table with his fingers, a ferocious smile on his face: "For carbon fiber composite materials above T500 level, the production capacity will be reduced by 75%, and a new round of sanctions will be imposed on Daxia."

"Hi, President." The man bowed again and respectfully left the president's office.

He looked down at the subordinate as he left.

"Daxia is also planning to develop a fifth-generation fighter? And a fighter that is so similar to the F22?"

Murakami Yunan seemed to think of something funny: "Without top-grade carbon fiber materials, how can you make it in Daxia?"

If a fighter jet wants to achieve stealth, in addition to reducing the refraction of electromagnetic waves by working on the aerodynamic layout and shape, the next best option is to make extensive use of high-strength carbon fiber composite materials. This material not only does not reflect radar waves, but also has the characteristics of light weight and high hardness.

High-strength carbon fiber composite materials are indispensable for both the vast majority of aircraft and the fifth-generation fighter jets that require stealth and supersonic cruise.

Therefore, this time, not only will the production capacity be significantly reduced, but Daxia will also impose a comprehensive ban on the sale of high-strength carbon fiber above T500.

Although there have been such sales and import bans in the past, they were only aimed at carbon fiber composite materials with "T700 strength specifications" or above used in high-end aerospace and military fields. This time, even the mid-range market of T500 level will be directly affected.

They, Dongli, are about to deal an unprecedented devastating blow to Daxia's fifth-generation aircraft project.

"If this document is released, Mitsubishi and the others should also take action, right?" There was a hint of madness in Murakami Kusuo's eyes.

Even if this mission was not an instruction issued by the Eagle Sauce, he would still do it.

They have been working on it for ten years and haven't developed anything yet. How can Daxia independently develop a fifth-generation aircraft? Has Toray been consulted?

now.

Several announcements instantly made headlines.

[Neon Toray Industries, Inc. announced that due to dry weather and a fire at the factory, the total production capacity of carbon fiber materials has dropped by 50%, and carbon fiber above grade T500 needs to be limited in production and purchase. ]

[Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, SNK Shin Neon Heavy Machinery, and Neon Okuma announced that due to power outages and other reasons, the delivery of some precision processing machine tools currently under contract has been delayed or canceled. 】

[Samsung Electronics and Micron announced that due to flood disasters in Southeast Asian factories, the production capacity of semiconductors such as memory chips will be greatly affected. ]

【.】

Not only Toray Industries, Ltd. in the field of carbon fiber, but also various aspects including machine tools and semiconductors are also being developed under the command of the Eagle Sauce.

All the cooperation that had been negotiated was temporarily cancelled. Even if the goods were about to arrive halfway, these companies would rather breach the contract and pay compensation than send them to Daxia.

Needless to say, their purpose was that, under the instructions of the "Eagle Sauce Dad", they carried out an all-round suppression of Daxia's J-20 project and basic industry transformation.

There is only one purpose, and that is to resolutely prevent Daxia from successfully developing the J-20 fighter.

Of course, another purpose is that these manufacturers can increase prices due to reduced production capacity, so that the cost will be lower and the profit will be greater.

They have become very proficient at this method.

Jiangnan Province, a port city.

This is the headquarters of Shenying Composites, and it is also an important base for large-scale production of carbon fiber materials in the entire Daxia.

"Mr. Xu, look at how rampant these foreign devils are."

A person nearby was holding the newspaper and shouting angrily, "Not only are they blocking carbon fiber materials, they are also not willing to let go of machine tools, semiconductors, etc. Are they trying to push us into a dead end?"

Who would believe that the production capacity was reduced due to various accidents? How could the reduction in production capacity only affect the equipment and materials needed by Daxia?

Is this a natural disaster? It's clearly a man-made disaster!
“Without technology, there is no voice.”

Xu Zhidong's eyes revealed tenacity: "As long as we can't produce high-strength carbon fiber composite materials, we will always be restricted by others and have to rely on others to make ends meet."

This is true for carbon fiber composites, and even more so in other fields.

Today, the Western countries like the Eagle Sauce can make you full, but tomorrow they can make you starve to death, so they must develop their own products, so that they can stand up straight and shout loudly to the world, "NO, fuck you!"

Take a look at the report details above.

"Floods, fires, power outages?" He immediately laughed, "Can't these people come up with some new tricks?"

When did they raise prices before? And after each accident, the profits of these companies skyrocketed.

But what about that?
Not to mention the 'T20 technical specification' carbon fiber composite materials required for high-end aerospace such as the J-800, their Shenying Composites has just overcome the technical difficulties of T700 dry-jet wet spinning, and it will take at least two to three years for the formal mass production.

If the T800 can achieve the 5.49Gpa tensile strength required and go into production, Xu Zhidong's most optimistic estimate is that it will take seven years.

I’m afraid the progress at Guangwei Composites won’t be much better.

Looking at his disciple's angry expression, he smiled helplessly: "There will be a day when all these grievances will be paid back."

"Put all this energy into research and development. Go ahead."

Xu Zhidong believes that all the grievances and unfair treatments suffered by Daxia will, at some point in the future, turn into boomerangs and hit back at them, making these people pay a heavy price.

But they still need to be patient, Daxia needs time.

Only by waiting for the right time to carry out high-end industrial transformation can the entire Daxia truly achieve its goal.

however.

Just when Xu Zhidong calmed down and prepared to deal with the next round of technical challenges.

"Boss Xu, there's an urgent call from Xiake Institute." His assistant walked in with the phone.

Xu Zhidong frowned: "Are there any new instructions or tasks to be issued? But why is it Xia Keyuan?"

Their parent company, Shenying Composites, is affiliated to Daxia Building Materials, and they do not have much contact with Xiake Institute.

Just as he was filled with doubts, a familiar voice came from the other side: "Professor Xu, I am Zhang Yuli"

Then, a series of instructions and the key points were issued.

After a long while, until the call was hung up for several minutes, Xu Zhidong's face was filled with shock.

Look at him like this.

"Boss Xu, what's going on? What does Institute Xia want to discuss with us?" The R&D team members nearby couldn't help but express their curiosity.

In the laboratory, everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Zhidong.

Xu Zhidong finally came back to his senses and stared at everyone: "Xia Ke Institute just called me and announced the latest results of their Materials Research Institute."

For a moment, all the researchers put down what they were doing and tried to listen.

"Their T800-grade carbon fiber composite material dry-jet wet spinning method not only achieved all technical breakthroughs, but also successfully mastered the mass production technology of T800-grade carbon fiber."

"Our thousand-ton carbon fiber production line was immediately upgraded to the T800H dry-jet wet spinning production line according to demand and put into production at the fastest speed."

The ecstasy in Xu Zhidong's heart still did not dissipate at all, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was harder to suppress than AK.

He felt that his pent-up anger was being released quickly.

'Just wait, Neon and Toray Group!'

"Aren't you going to limit production and sales? I wonder if you dare to start a price war with Daxia!" Xu Zhidong screamed in his heart.

In terms of technological advancement, it is certainly not as good as Toray Group's highest level 'T1000' carbon fiber composite materials.

But when it comes to price, Daxia has never lost.

If you limit production and sales, then we at Shenying Composites will dare to seize the entire high-end market!

at the same time.

Far away in the Middle East, in the war-torn Gaza Strip.

In a military training camp with barbed wire, hundreds of men with camouflage paint on their faces and bandages on their heads are standing by for battle.

Among them are teenagers aged 15 or 16, as well as adults in their 30s and 40s who are old enough to start a family and a career.

There were even a few children who were only a head taller than the guns and stood there with expressionless faces.

"This is your last lesson on how to operate a small drone, and it is also the most important part."

"This time the project is actual combat bombing! The enemy is: Israel!" The commander stared at them and said gritting his teeth.

This time, I will also rush to the front line of the battlefield.

All his family members have died, and now it is time for these people to pay with blood.
