Chapter 626 The Safest Way: Make It Yourself!
"You just say it." Jiang Bo said.
Ke Peng looked serious and said, "Because our company's 100 kg fullerene device was put into the market, although the buyer was limited to local Chinese companies, it inevitably impacted the fullerene market around the world because of the excellent equipment output and cost.
This has led to the falling price of fullerene c60 all the time. Although this is what we expected, after in-depth analysis, I discovered the hidden dangers."
"What hidden danger?" Jiang Bo took it seriously after hearing this and asked quickly.
Ke Peng said: "According to my survey, Mitsubishi Electric, a Japanese company, was the world's largest manufacturer of fullerene combustion devices, and their equipment is supplied to the world.
But because of our emergence, it disrupted the deployment of Mitsubishi Electric and almost seized all their markets in just a few months. This is the first point.
Second, Mitsubishi Electric and the Japanese military cooperated very closely. The fullerene materials needed by the Japanese military have always been provided by Mitsubishi Electric.
But now, because we have launched a new fullerene device, the global fullerene c60 price continues to decline.
A month ago, the price had dropped to the freezing point of Mitsubishi Electric, which caused the Japanese military to unilaterally terminate its cooperation with Mitsubishi Electric and instead handed over the order to a domestic company that owns fullerene plasma polymerization devices."
When Jiang Bo heard this, he smiled softly and said, "Isn't this a good thing?"
Ke Peng explained: "On the surface, it is indeed a good thing, but if you think about it in depth, what is Mitsubishi's position in Japan? No domestic company can shake it.
But now we have directly snatched the Mitsubishi Electric market and caused them to lose tens of billions of dollars. The degree of resentment they have towards us can be imagined.
Thinking from the perspective of others, if we were Mitsubishi Electric, we would definitely hate Black Bones to death and would definitely find ways to stop or even retaliate.
Generally speaking, they have no choice.
But one of the core components of our fullerene device, the "ultraviolet laser pulse device", was imported from the Japanese Tamasaki Optoelectronics Company.
So, I have to be careful!”
Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents and insulting their wives. It is often an irreconcilable hatred.
But there is no way. Throughout history, in commercial competition, the rule is survival of the fittest. Black Bones Electronics Company has better technology and more solutions, so naturally it is necessary to make money and occupy the market. This is a natural rule in the competition rules.
Usually, those who are eliminated losers, although angry and hateful, cannot find a way to take revenge.
However, Mitsubishi Electric is different.
"You mean Mitsubishi Electric can cut off our supply?" Jiang Bo asked.
Ke Peng said: "That's right, as far as I know, when the Tamazaki Optoelectronics Company was established, Mitsubishi Electric invested in the stock. I asked someone to check it before and found that Mitsubishi Electric's shareholding ratio reached 36%.
Currently, Kojima Ryo, chairman and first shareholder of Tamazaki Optoelectronics, holds only 41% of the shares, not more than half.
If Mitsubishi Electric uses means to obtain some shares from other shareholders, it is very likely that it will become the largest shareholder of Yuki Optoelectronics. By then, it will be awful if it controls the administrative power of Yuki Optoelectronics and cuts off cooperation with us."
Jiang Bo touched his chin and thought for a while, and asked, "How many orders are there for He Yuzaki Optoelectronics?"
Ke Peng said: "There is still half a year's order."
Jiang Bo said: "What you said is indeed a hidden danger, but it is not too worried. On the one hand, Mitsubishi Electric is unlikely to cut off its arm and sacrifice the revenue of Tamazaki Optoelectronics. After all, our orders are quite large, about one billion a month.
On the other hand, even if Mitsubishi Electric does this, I have a preparatory plan."
"You have prepared a lot? Are you purchasing goods from Europe? I heard you have been to Europe twice recently." Ke Peng said.
Jiang Bo chuckled: "Of course not. Whether it is Japan or Europe, as long as you purchase laser pulse equipment from them, it is equivalent to sending your neck to them. Moreover, Europe is very arrogant, even rich people will not sell it to us. Do you think the embargo clause is joking?
Also, the purchase price of the 100 kg fullerene device requires laser pulse equipment up to 30 to 40 million yuan, which is too expensive, which greatly increases the cost of the fullerene device.
In the future, if fullerenes want to benefit the whole world, the cost of fullerene devices cannot be too high. Although there are many people buying devices now, it is because the selling price of fullerene c60 is quite good, and those people think it is profitable.
But as prices continue to fall, this situation will reverse. After those people feel that it is unprofitable, the 300 million-dollar fullerene device will not be sold.
At that time, the device will inevitably reduce its price and then increase its volume. If the cost of the device is still 50 million, we will not be able to reduce it and the volume will not be much. Then it will be really troublesome.
Therefore, we have to find a way to control the production cost of fullerene devices, which is one of the key factors that can ensure the long-term sales of the device."
After a pause, Jiang Bo continued: "At this time, you can't rely on imported goods from Japan and Europe. Products sold by others are always priced after making money.
Therefore, the safest way is to build our own laser pulse equipment.
Only in this way can we truly achieve cost control. At the same time, we can also improve the output of fullerene devices by optimizing laser pulse technology, achieve the effect of stimulating consumption, and even control the price trend of the entire fullerene market from the source."
Ke Peng nodded: "I understand what you mean, but it seems that Professor Zheng is doing this, but I asked half a month ago, and there is no progress yet..."
Jiang Bo said: "Zheng Shouyi is studying other technologies of the second-generation fullerene device and laser pulse technology. Li Kaishan is currently in charge of the entirety of the research. It has been a while since the research, so the results should be coming soon, right?"
When Li Kaishan welcomed Zhou Ping a while ago, Jiang Bo asked about the research on laser pulse width. He heard that the research on laser pulse width has exceeded the femtosecond level and has entered the sub-femtosecond level.
It took less than a year from scratch to something. Li Kaishan used the information given by Jiang Bo from [ultra-short and super-strength laser technology] to enable Black Bones to independently develop laser pulse technology to reach the international advanced level.
It is only a short distance from the top international level.
However, it is only a breakthrough in laser pulse width, and continuous improvement is needed in terms of power, stability and other aspects.
Once the improvement is completed and the stage of being able to be put into commercial use, the laser pulse equipment will be considered to be built.
Moreover, once it was built, it was not the type of 100 femtosecond level, but a device that was three orders higher and far more advanced than the laser pulse equipment of Tamazaki Optoelectronics.
Therefore, the ultraviolet laser pulse equipment mentioned by Ke Peng may have the potential to be thwarted by Mitsubishi Electric and then get stuck. Jiang Bo is not very worried. After all, he has been prepared for this for a long time and there are countermeasures.
