Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 378 Nanshan Group accidentally released another satellite

Star Motors is the first car company to use a large amount of carbon fiber in mass-produced models.

Prior to this, although carbon fiber had been used in bicycles and F1 racing cars for a long time, either the models were too special or the amount was not much.

This is the first time that this kind of front and rear has been used on a large scale.

Just for this point, it is impossible for the carbon fiber manufacturers in the industry not to pay attention to it.

China's carbon fiber research did not start very late, but the strength of high-end products is far behind that of foreign countries.

The world's high-end carbon fiber technology is mainly concentrated in the hands of a few companies in Japan and the United States.

In terms of research and development strength, technical level, and sales scale, the main companies are Dongying Toray, Dongying Toho, Dongying Mitsubishi Rayon, American Hexcel, American Zoltek and German SGL.

Among them, Dongying Toray and American Hexcel have to be mentioned, they are almost the representatives of the most advanced carbon fiber technology.

After years of development, Dongying Dongli has perfected the entire industrial chain from upstream raw silk to downstream composite material design and manufacturing.

It is mainly engaged in fiber and fabric, resin and chemical products, IT-related products, carbon fiber composite materials, environment and engineering, etc.

Toray became a giant mainly because after accepting the technology from England, it took a detour in the civilian market at the beginning, and gradually developed and expanded.

Diversified development will be realized later.

Today, Toray Industries is a leading company in carbon fiber, and its products are the industry standard. In 2007, the market share was 43%.

Hexcel is also the world's leading composite material company, developing lightweight, high-performance composite material components, and its products are widely used in civil aircraft, aerospace, defense, and general industries.

The supply of these two companies to China's high-end carbon fiber is completely "announced price increase and rewarded supply".

They attach great importance to any situation in China that may break this situation.

"President, from our current preliminary analysis, it is not surprising that the carbon fiber materials used by Xingchen Automobile have at least reached the level of T400, and even reached the level of T700."

Toray headquarters, a special meeting is going on.

The publicity of the Xingkong sports car is so big, especially the extensive use of carbon fiber materials on the body.

In any case, it is difficult for them not to pay attention.

"impossible!"

"Didn't the marketing department report that China's domestic carbon fiber industry has not even achieved large-scale commercial production of T300?"

"Why is there such a big change now?"

China has always been a big market for carbon fiber, and the demand is very strong.

Whether it is fishing gear, golf clubs, or badminton rackets, there is a relatively high demand for high-end carbon fiber.

But until now, not to mention T1000, the world's most high-end carbon fiber, even T300 carbon fiber, has not yet achieved large-scale commercial production, and has only reached this level in the laboratory state.

As for high-end products such as T400 and T700, it is not something that money can buy at all.

Especially T1000, this material is mainly used in military industry,

If you buy a little bit through special channels, it won't solve any major problems.

At this time, a seemingly powerful carbon fiber manufacturer suddenly appeared in China, so it's no wonder they didn't pay attention to it.

"We are also conducting an urgent investigation to see if they have imported a large amount of relevant carbon fiber materials from overseas through some means."

"But according to what we have learned so far, there is a high probability that the company under Nanshan Group already has carbon fiber production capacity."

"The carbon fiber material used on the starry sky sports car is most likely to be produced by themselves."

Kondo Taro is also full of confusion now.

He has already attached great importance to the development and research of Huaxia Carbon Fiber Enterprise, but there is still an accident.

And this surprise is a bit big.

If Nanshan Group can really produce T700 or even T800 carbon fiber materials, it will have a huge impact on the carbon fiber market in the whole world.

Everyone knows a truth that once a Chinese manufacturer can produce a material, the price will definitely plummet.

The price of carbon fiber like T700 in the Chinese market is now about 1000 million a ton.

This is almost the highest-end carbon fiber product that Chinese manufacturers can buy.

No matter how advanced it is, you will get 1 million yuan per ton, and no one will sell it.

"The Xingkong sports car is officially on the market. Is it sold at Dongying?"

"Should have. Xingchen Automobile's main product is the Xingkong sports car that is launched simultaneously globally. There are also cooperative dealers in Dongying, but the number should be very small."

"Then why are you hesitating? Just buy a car and come back to dismantle it to find out how their carbon fiber level is. Only when we find out their strength can we make a plan for the next step."

For Toray, it was a bolt from the blue that Nanshan Group produced high-end carbon fiber.

他们从80s开始搞出了T300，之后又有T400、T700、T800和T1000。

It has been living on its laurels for more than ten years, and no higher-level products have been launched.

Once this situation is broken, it will be a very huge impact on Toray.

After all, there are only a few manufacturers in the world that can produce high-end carbon fiber, and the one with the lowest price is Toray.

So their market share is also the highest.

A similar dialogue also took place at Hearst's side of the United States.

Several companies are buying Xingkong sports cars in order to obtain the carbon fiber products of Nanshan Group in the first place.

Although after processing, some properties of carbon fiber will change.

But using their existing knowledge accumulation, it is enough to deduce what grade the other party's product is.

"President, it is preliminarily judged that the carbon fiber used in the Xingkong sports car is T700, and their T700 has advantages compared with ours in some performances."

"Of course, it would be the best if we can obtain carbon fiber raw materials. We can fully compare various parameters."

In the past few days, Kondo Taro has personally pulled the personnel from the R&D and technical departments to disassemble and analyze the carbon fiber used in the starry sky sports car.

However, although they worked very hard, the result was not optimistic at all.

"T700?"

"Huaxia directly skipped T300 and T400 and went to produce T700?"

Toray's president Saga Nu fell to the bottom of his mood.

Although they have higher-end products such as T800 and T1000, Chinese manufacturers are still far behind them.

However, T800 and T1000 are not their main sources of profit. On the contrary, T700 and products below have made a lot of profits for the company.

Products such as T300, although relatively low-end, cannot support large quantities, and China has no way to mass-produce them. Therefore, in the China market, Toray probably supplies this carbon fiber.

If Nanshan Group can mass-produce T700 on a large scale, it will definitely be impossible for T300 to make money as before.

"From our experience, the production process of T700 and above high-end carbon fiber is completely different from that of T300 and T400."

"I suspect that the Huaxia people are also aware of this, so they started research directly from T700, bypassing the technology of T300 and T400."

"However, this is just my personal guess."

"From what we have learned so far, several other manufacturers in China with relatively high carbon fiber technology are working hard to break through the mass production process of T300."

Kondo Taro's words made Saga Nu a little confused.

Why are Chinese people doing things so strangely?

There is no basic logic to speculate?

"Before, the company supplied very little T700 carbon fiber to the Chinese market, and the price also went to 1000 million yuan per ton."

"Starting tomorrow, the supply of T700 carbon fiber will be increased, and the price will be lowered to 800 million yuan per ton."

"As for T300 and T400, we will supply as much as customers want, and the price will be reduced by [-]% from the current level."

After Saga Nu was silent for a few minutes, he made an important decision decisively.

The price of carbon fiber, a high-tech material, has been maintained at an exaggerated level, mainly because of technological monopoly.

Take a look at the T800 sold by Toray to Boeing. The price is not half as high as that of the T700 in the Chinese market.

One can imagine how high the price of this material is.

"The carbon fiber of T700 can be produced in Huaxia, so can we consider selling the carbon fiber of T800 to them?"

Kondo Taro is naturally very clear about the company's sales strategy.

When Huaxia cannot produce T700, T800 materials will naturally not be sold.

But now that China can produce T700, the shortage of T800 is not so high.

If you don't sell it as before, it is equivalent to giving up the market.

"Whether the T800 can be sold or not is up to our company."

"However, we can report our analysis to relevant departments to see if the sales ban on T800 can be lifted."

"At the same time, our company must speed up the research of T1100 carbon fiber technology as soon as possible, and strive to achieve breakthroughs in the next few years."

"Otherwise, it will become a joke in the industry if it is surpassed by Huaxia Company."

Accompanied by Saga Nu's arrangement, Toray immediately took related actions.

Soon, China's carbon fiber buyers felt the change.

And these changes, naturally someone also specially reported to Cao Yang.

"So, the appearance of our T700 carbon fiber has brought them a lot of pressure."

"If they knew that we can even produce T800 and T1000, wouldn't they faint on the ground crying?"

Since Cao Yang chose to let Nanshan Group enter the field of carbon fiber production, he naturally wouldn't just use the T700 technology.

Although T800 and T1000 have not been produced in China, even the state of small-scale laboratories has not been settled.

But this product was actually developed by Toray more than ten years ago.

In other words, it is not a product beyond the times.

It's just that the domestic strength in this area is too weak.

"Yesterday, I asked the people from the Dongying Branch to find out, to see who has recently bought a starry sky sports car."

"This investigation doesn't matter. I found out that Toray actually bought a Xingkong, and both Toho and Mitsubishi also bought a Xingkong."

"Almost all the starry sky sports cars in Japan are bought by corporate users."

Zeng Tingting naturally knew the meaning behind this incident.

However, during this period of time, she had a good understanding of the situation of carbon fiber.

I don't know this, but I realized that Nanshan Group's carbon fiber technology is already the number one in China.

Even compared with companies such as Toray and American Hearst, it is not far behind.

After all, Nanshan Group can also produce T1000, the most high-end commercial carbon fiber in the world.

It's just not like the T700, which already has large-scale production capacity.

As for the higher-level T1100, it can already be produced in the laboratory.

"Carbon fiber is regarded as a military material, and it is not surprising that Toray attaches great importance to it."

"They are the industry leader and occupy nearly half of the market share. Once this situation is broken, the impact will be huge."

"However, the more this is the case, the more we need to do a good job of carbon fiber."

"A few days ago, a lot of inspection teams came over and took away a lot of our carbon fiber samples."

"Then someone contacted us yesterday, hoping that Nanshan Group can expand the production capacity of carbon fiber."

"Especially for T800 and T1000, I hope we can build a dedicated factory to change products from small-scale production to mass production."

"They even said that we can choose the address to build a carbon fiber factory at will. They help us coordinate and let the local supply free of charge."

Cao Yang knew that carbon fiber was very important before, but because he didn't have much contact with it in his previous life, although he paid more attention to it, he didn't pay much attention to it.

During this period of time, batch after batch of people came to investigate, and their ranks were not low.

Only then did he get a good understanding of the situation of carbon fiber at home and abroad.

Only then did I know that Nanshan Group had accidentally released another satellite.

"Mr. Cao, carbon fiber is a material made by subjecting organic fibers to a series of chemical treatments under high temperature and high pressure conditions."

"During the production process, it is inevitable that there will be some contamination."

"And if T700, T800 and T1000 carbon fibers are to be produced on a large scale, the construction area required is not small."

"It is really not suitable to build a large-scale carbon fiber factory here in Yangcheng."

"Why don't you take this opportunity to start our group's overseas layout?"

Zeng Tingting's vision is not bad either.

Sooner or later, Nanshan Group will go to other places, but when and how to go is very important.

If it is not done well, it will cause a bad relationship with the district.

Obviously, she thinks the carbon fiber factory is a very good opportunity.

A great opportunity that none of them had considered before.

"What you said makes sense. The main customers of this new factory are the people who came here for inspection a few days ago."

"Their factories are mainly in the northwest or northeast. Our carbon fiber factory, they obviously hope to build in these two places."

"Combined with the direction of policy development, I think it is more appropriate to build in the northwest, and it also echoes some preferential policies for the development of the west."

"However, we will go to investigate the specific location next week and then confirm it."

"The company should also formally launch this project internally to see what equipment needs to be prepared and what personnel to recruit."

"This factory, it is estimated that the domestic hope to start production as soon as possible, and we can raise any difficulties when the time comes."

With Cao Yang's decision, Nanshan Group immediately started to move.

The news that Nanshan Group has the mass production capacity of T700 carbon fiber has also slowly spread.

After all, in 2007, a carbon fiber factory with an investment of billions of dollars and an area of ​​over a thousand acres was still very influential.

Not only international carbon fiber giants such as Toray pay attention, but domestic counterparts also attach great importance to it.

"Mr. Chen, I have contacted Nanshan Group. They can indeed produce T700 carbon fiber, which is already used in large quantities in the Xingkong sports car."

"However, their carbon fiber factory in Yangcheng is not very large, with an annual production capacity of only a few hundred tons."

"So although it can be sold to us, it needs to wait until the new factory is put into operation before delivery can begin."

Guangwei is the largest manufacturer of fishing rods, fishing reels and fishing gear in China.

Don't look at the inconspicuous things like fishing rods, but professional fishermen know best how expensive these things are.

The one or two hundred yuan that ordinary people play with is not a thing at all in the eyes of fishermen.

And high-end fishing rods are made of carbon fiber materials.

And the more high-end, the more hope to use better carbon fiber materials for production.

For example, the prices of T300 and T700 materials must be completely different after they are made into fishing rods.

Prior to this, Guangwei's carbon fiber materials were mainly purchased from Toray.

In order to confirm whether Guangwei really uses carbon fiber to produce products such as fishing rods, Toray will come to the site to confirm from time to time every year, which can be said to be full of humiliation.

So Guangwei is also determined to make carbon fiber by itself.

So far, there have been certain achievements.

Materials like T300 can already be produced on a small scale.

However, large-scale industrial production is still in progress.

Now I suddenly heard that Nanshan Group has the production capacity to mass-produce T700, so it's strange that they don't pay attention.

"I have heard of the name of Nanshan Group for a long time."

"They've only been looking up to me for more than a month, and they don't want to drive other SUVs anymore."

"I didn't expect that the starry sky sports car they are launching now uses a lot of carbon fiber produced by themselves."

"It's really surprising, it's like a David satellite."

"You can contact the other party and see if you can arrange for me to go over and communicate with their President Cao."

"The main business of Nanshan Group is not carbon fiber. Let's see if there is any possibility of cooperation between the two parties."

Chen Liang's business sense is very keen.

From what his subordinates heard, he sensed an opportunity.

On the one hand, Guangwei's carbon fiber material purchase channel can finally be settled in China.

On the other hand, he feels that Guangwei and Nanshan Group may consider technical cooperation.

Nanshan Group already has the production capacity of T700 carbon fiber, so it can be inferred according to normal logic that they should already be researching T800, and even T800 has already been produced in the laboratory.

Then low-grade materials such as T300 and T400 are not so important to Nanshan Group.

Whether it can be authorized to Guangwei to produce, we can have a good discussion.

Nanshan Group doesn't like it, but Guangwei does.
