Chapter 23 The war continues, no one is allowed to retreat! (four thousand chapters)
Wilmington, Delaware, North America.
This is the famous DuPont Group headquarters. In 1802 AD, founder EL DuPont bought the land by the Brandy River and invested 36,000 US dollars to make gunpowder.
To this day, after the merger of DuPont Group and the equally famous Dow Group, it has become the world's most powerful chemical company and ranks first in the world.
Research Director Dr. Nelson sat outside the president's office door, holding a cup of coffee just sent by the secretary in his hand, waiting for the summons of Mr. Mark Doyle, the president of the group.
Not long after, Doyle finally ended the conference call with the European region. The secretary led Dr. Nelson to push the door and saw from a distance that the president looked bad and his tie had been pulled open during the meeting.
"Damn bastard!" Doyle cursed in a low voice.
He looked up at Dr. Nelson and said, "Can anyone tell me what's going on? Seeing that the summer in the northern hemisphere is about to pass, the Chinese suddenly launched an offensive at the last moment, which made us not at all prepared. It was so embarrassing!"
Dr. Nelson frowned slightly, "Is the loss on the client side serious?"
Nelson is very concerned about this issue. After all, DuPont Group does not face the retail market directly, but provides basic fabrics to global customers. Customers can get the DuPont brand fabrics before making ready-made garments.
If customer sales plummet, DuPont Group's life will definitely not be easy.
"It's not just serious? It's almost bloody!" Doyle said in an exaggerated gesture: "The performance of Kunlun X1 fiber fabric is far higher than our strongest COOLMAX product line. Customers are now forcing us to ask for an explanation. You are the company's scientific research supervisor. I want you to explain why China's quick-drying fiber technology ran ahead of us at once?"
Dr. Nelson sighed deeply, spread his arms and said, "Sir, to be honest, I don't know either."
"This time, the one who came up with X1 fiber technology was a small company. According to the information I collected from China, the inventor of this technology is called Gao Yuan. He is not even a graduate of chemistry or materials science majors, but a computer student."
"What's more, in the field of materials chemistry, we usually write research results into papers and submit them to mainstream journals for publication, and then communicate with colleagues around the world to verify the repeatability of scientific research results."
"And this man named Plateau did not publish his paper first, but directly went to the production line to manufacture it on a large scale. As of now, the X1 fiber has been conquered the world and caused storm waves. The related papers on the Plateau have not been published yet!"
"So we can't really blame us."
"If we see the paper, we will at least warn the company in advance, knowing that a new technology is about to be launched, and we will immediately start the research and development of competitive technologies."
"But the fact is that before we saw the paper, Wuyang and Wuyang were filled with products on the market. This wild Chinese man named Plateau broke all conventions in one go, which caught us off guard!"
The thing is so interesting. The president protested to the R&D director, and the R&D director was also full of frustration and didn't know who to complain to.
Doyle wiped his face with his hands, "Damn Chinese, they are so cunning!"
"But now that's it, our partners hope that we can provide products similar to Kunlun X1 fiber to resist invasion from competitors. Is there any way for the technical department?"
Dr. Nelson shook his head, "Colmax, our strongest quick-drying fiber, has proven vulnerable, not to mention other series."
"But." President Doyle said: "Customers are waiting to ask us for products, how should I explain to them?"
"drag."
"drag?"
"Yes, it's already late summer now. Once September comes, the summer weather fades, and clothing with quick-drying fabrics will naturally reduce sales, which will also give us enough time to develop technical solutions for Kunlun X1 fiber."
"In addition, although the papers on this new type of fiber are hidden in China, I believe they can't hide them for too long. When summer passes, they will definitely post them."
"Based on past experience, Chinese scholars attach great importance to SCI citations and the selection of Nobel Prizes, so once the relevant paper is published, it will play a great role in our research."
Doyle nodded slightly. Without a solution to the technical department, it seemed that it could only delay time.
When the weather gets colder, major clothing companies and consumers will turn their attention to warm fabrics. No matter how excellent the quick-drying fabrics of Kunlun Company are, their sales will inevitably decline significantly.
"It's not only us." Dr. Nelson said proudly: "BASF, Mobil, Evonik, Lind, DSM, almost all important chemical fiber companies in the world are holding back their energy and actively preparing new products for Kunlun X1 fiber."
"Although we were sneak attacked by those sinister Chinese people at the end of this summer, by next spring, Chinese people will usher in a Jedi counterattack launched by all chemical fiber giants in the world! I can't wait to see the scene of those Chinese people being completely defeated!"
...
Soon, DuPont Group fell into a R&D dilemma and would not launch products for Kunlun X1 fiber this summer and autumn, and this news spread in the industry.
It has to be said that the Xia late offensive proposed by Gaoyuan is really too weird.
Time is at a very useless critical moment. If European and American manufacturers make every effort, summer will be over and there is not much time left for them.
If you don’t try your best, you can watch the advertisements of Chinese companies spread everywhere, various promotional activities, and promotions about black technology X1 fiber, which makes you breathless.
Now, DuPont Group announced that it would give up treatment, followed by giants like BASF and Bayer, which also hinted that their partners could not come up with solutions in such a short time. It seems that this year is not possible, so let's talk about it next year.
As a result, the already tilted balance completely collapsed, turning this sudden war into a one-sided massacre!
Who would have thought that the powerful DuPont Group and BASF Group could not produce confrontational products. Chinese manufacturers were just laughing crazy, okay?
For a time, European and American clothing manufacturers were filled with grief, while Chinese manufacturers relied on the support of black technology to launch round after round of offensives. They were really happy to kill, and blood flowed into a river!
Who wouldn't like it if you haven't encountered too many wars of resistance?
As the saying goes, when will you take your life while you are sick, and when will you not attack cities and territories now?
In addition to selling goods, Chinese manufacturers are also trying their best to create their own high-tech image and brand, which is the most deadly point.
Just like when talking about Nike, everyone will think of the zoom air cushion technology, when talking about Adidas, they will think of the boots cushioning technology, and when talking about Essex, consumers are talking about gel synthetic rubber.
From now on, when European consumers think of these Chinese brands, they will undoubtedly immediately think of Kunlun X-shaped fiber and its powerful quick-drying ability.
Time soon came September, and when these Chinese brands were preparing to close the team, an unimaginable scene happened.
"Don't retreat from any of you, you must continue to burn the war."
During a conference call, Gao Yuan smiled as usual, but his tone was extremely firm: "Don't always think about leaving a line in everything, so we can meet each other in the future. Remember to eliminate the roots and eliminate all evil things!"
"Don't think that you are a clothing man who has no technical content. Those Anglo-Saxons will not come to deal with you. Wrong! Let me tell you, when they kill Huawei and SMIC, it will be your death day!"
Through the screen, you can see the shocked faces of the bosses. It is hard for them to imagine that the Plateau’s judgment on the future situation is so severe?
Suddenly, the conference call fell into death silence, as if the air had completely frozen at this moment.
The sharp light shot out from the plateau's eyes, as if it could see through everyone's hearts. Although he was still young, every word he said was deeply penetrated into the hearts of everyone present.
Perhaps because he felt that the atmosphere was too solemn, the sound of the plateau slowed down a little and said: "Commercial war is also a war, and it is more cruel and useless in many aspects."
"In any case, the enemy must not be proud. The DuPont Group wants to drag it until next spring."
"And what we have to do is to fight all the way through and fight until next spring!"
...
In early September, Plateau reads news that the temperatures in Genhe and Mohe, China, dropped sharply, and the people have already started wearing down.
He couldn't help but look out the window. At this time, the sun was still hanging high in Jiangnan, and the sun was dazzling. If the air conditioner was not turned on, the temperature in the office would be close to forty degrees, and he could not imagine the coldness of the extreme north.
This is the great China.
Gao Yuan was surging, and he couldn't help but think of an essay I heard since I was a child. He couldn't help but chant: "Snowflakes are still flying in the Great Xing'an Mountains."
"The willow branches have sprouted on both sides of the Yangtze River."
"Flowers are blooming everywhere on Hainan Island."
"What a vast country our motherland."
Bang bang bang ~
Suddenly someone knocked on the door outside. When he opened it, he saw that it was Cao Feiyu.
"I said to Comrade Gaoyuan, don't be able to see the current situation all day long. Cao Feiyu must have heard it outside and muttered as soon as he entered the door.
Because the company lacks manpower, especially those trusted by Gaoyuan, Cao Feiyu is now catching matters of big and small.
From finance to ordering, to the canteen aunt, he didn't care about it. Over time, even though Cao Feiyu was gentle and elegant, he began to get a little anxious.
Gao Yuan shrugged, "Look at what you said, aren't you moved? We have always known our motherland in books, but we have never seen her beauty and magnificence with our own eyes. After we finish our work, we are like a pawn construction team. We travel as a benefit for everyone, and stay in the best hotel with our own funds."
Cao Feiyu said calmly: "Of course I love my motherland and I also want to see it with my own eyes. But I know better that it is not the time to travel now, because we have more important things."
"What's going on right now?" Gao Yuan asked.
"Didn't you ask this knowingly?" Cao Feiyu gave Gao Yuan a blank look. "The orders for X2 fabrics are almost from Shaoxing to Jiaxing! Major clothing companies are about to launch new autumn and winter styles, and they are waiting for our rice to be put into the pot."
Gao Yuan touched his head and frowned and said, "X2 fiber has two forms. So far, we have only solved the problem of chemical fiber filaments. Chemical fiber velvet has encountered technical bottlenecks in the production process, and the molding process has not reached the level I imagined."
"Then let's ship chemical fibers first." Cao Feiyu said.
Gao Yuan shook his head seriously and said, "In the field of quick-drying fiber, DuPont has always dominated the market. As long as we defeat the DuPont Group's COOLMAX series, the market will be invincible and there will be no competitors."
"However, warm fibers are different, completely different. In this field, the great powers are surrounded by all experts. In addition to chemical fiber enterprises, there are also natural fibers such as duck down, goose down, and wool, which are also our opponents, so we cannot take action easily. If we take action, we must show a strong sense of oppression."
Cao Feiyu was stunned, "Do you have many opponents in the field of warm fiber?"
"Many." Gaoyuan pronounced a few names casually, from Toray in Japan, Asahi Kasei, and then to DuPont and 3M in North America.
Cao Feiyu couldn't listen until Gao Yuan finished speaking and asked him to stop.
"All these international giants are studying warm fiber?" Cao Feiyu asked in surprise.
Gao Yuan smiled, "Let me tell you this, there are almost no chemical fiber companies in the world that are ranked among the top 100 in the world that do not make warm fibers. After all, this thing has a high profit and a large market."
"The leading companies are mainly Japanese companies. Japan occupies an absolute global share of warm fiber, and its strength cannot be underestimated."
Cao Feiyu didn't say anything more. He observed carefully and found that Gao Yuan did not seem to be lazy in the office. He was filled with countless drawings on his desk, and the trash can was covered with scattered straw paper.
"In the laboratory, Xu Qingzhou was so forced to breathe, so I went here to change my mind, read the news, play games, etc."
Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, give me a few more days."
