Chapter 24 In mid-September, the X2 fiber came out! The sword points to the east! (four thousand cha(1/2)
For several days, Gaoyuan had food and accommodation in Chaoda Chemical Fiber Factory to help them solve the difficulties encountered in production processes.
It was late at night, and Gaoyuan walked out of the noisy factory with two cans of Qingdao beer, sat down on the cement steps outside, opened the can and drank two sips, and a string of comfortable syllables came out of his throat, feeling relaxed.
"Theory and practice are indeed not the same thing."
Gao Yuan muttered with emotion: "Who would have thought that with complete theory, he had been wasting so much time in the production process and encountered so many troubles. My father was right, industry is really not something that can be done casually."
Gao Yuan was very confident and had a complete set of technical information about X fiber in his mind. However, when he was about to convert knowledge and technology into goods, he encountered unexpected difficulties.
Material problems of spinnerets, drainage problems of solidification baths, power and flow rate problems of circulation pumps, etc.
To be honest, they are all inconspicuous small problems, but superimposing these small problems together leads to the X2 fiber velvet being unable to achieve the highest quality.
If the X1 fiber has a lucky component, it caught DuPont Group off guard and won a great victory.
Gaoyuan is very clear that X2 fibers will never have such good luck anymore. All the people ahead are giants. If they don’t take action, they will do their best to take action.
So Gaoyuan was the remote commander first, but finally entered the factory directly to eat and live with the mechanical engineers.
Long live!
We finally succeeded!
The workshop behind him suddenly became crowded with people, and the plateau did not look back because he had already expected the result and his hard work paid off. After three consecutive days of hard work, the last obstacle to the large-scale listing of X2 fiber was finally broken.
"Mr. Gao, so you are here!"
Yuan Zheng, the boss of Chaoda Chemical Fiber, found the outside from the workshop, but saw the plateau sitting on the ground.
So he ignored his expensive trousers and sat with Gaoyuan, opened another can of beer, and drank with Gaoyuan.
Gao Yuan frowned slightly. He had always had a good alcohol tolerance. He originally planned to drink these two cans of beer by himself.
Speaking of which, Boss Yuan Zheng and Yuan are also an elder of Gao Yuan and have had nearly ten years of cooperation with Comrade Gao Xiangnan.
When Gao Yuan first took over the Kunlun Factory, Yuan Zheng called him Xiao Gao, but now he has changed his words to President Gao.
Although Gao Yuan did not care about title, this change can well illustrate Yuan Zheng's journey from half-believing and half-doubting to respecting and admiring.
"I really didn't expect that you not only invented X fiber, but also had such profound attainments in the field of mechanical engineering. The engineers under my command were convinced by you and said that you were a genius in mechanical automation." Yuan Zheng said with a suspicion of flattery.
He secretly made up his mind to maintain his relationship with the plateau at all costs. After all, the plateau is only twenty-one years old and shows such amazing talent, and his future prospects are probably limitless.
"It would be great if my son had half the IQ of the plateau." Yuan Zheng sighed in his heart, "Who would have thought that Gao Xiangnan's stubborn donkey actually gave birth to such an extremely smart son."
Yuan Zheng pointed to the people celebrating in the workshop, "Everyone is waiting, let's go in with me."
Gao Yuan did not rush to move his nest, but asked Yuan Zheng: "I remember that the maximum production capacity of your factory can reach a daily output of 500 tons."
Yuan Zheng scratched his head, "I have two 100 tons lines here, plus those old models with dozens of tons, and the total designed production capacity is 550 tons per day."
"Where is the actual production capacity?" Gao Yuan asked with a smile.
"In fact, only 300 tons can be made." Yuan Zheng said frankly: "After all the lines have to be shut down every day, and the failure rate of the old models is also higher."
Gao Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Although I don't know the specific sales volume, I guess your production is not enough. I also want to introduce a second OEM factory."
Yuan Zheng was very pleased and immediately said that there was no problem. As the plateau business grew bigger and bigger, he should not put all the eggs in the same basket.
Anyway, Yuan Zheng now believes that the plateau is thick, no matter what the plateau has, as long as it doesn’t go too far, Yuan Zheng will let him go.
Seeing that Yuan Zheng had this attitude, Gao Yuan didn't say anything more.
The reason I had to explain the matter clearly to him is that if I introduce a second OEM factory, I need to send engineers from Yuan Zheng's factory to help solve the process problems.
After all, what you fear most is that your product consistency does not meet the standards.
Back then, Apple's A-series processors were handed over to Samsung and TSMC at the same time. However, Samsung was not strong enough, and its power consumption and heating directly reversed. The same chip could not catch up with TSMC at all, and Apple was so angry that it was almost out of breath.
Of course, Apple is also losing enough, forcing the performance of TSMC processors from the backend to being as bad as Samsung. In this way, the processors produced by the two OEMs will look the same.
Now that the business of Gaoyuan is getting bigger, it needs to introduce a second OEM factory. What I fear most is this. If the product quality of one or two OEM factories is high and low, it will be troublesome.
Gao Yuan stood up and returned to the workshop. He was greeted with warm applause like thunder.
The engineers present knew very well that the design was created by the plateau and the technical details were also controlled by the plateau. In short, the plateau was impeccable in theory, but the hands-on ability was poor, and such a machine had never been disassembled and installed before.
"Thank you for your cooperation over the past few days." Gao Yuan raised the can in his hand and whispered: "Anyone who participates in the technological transformation will receive an extra month's salary as a bonus, and I will pay this money!"
The worker was simple and when he heard that he could get a considerable amount of bonuses, he immediately smiled and completely threw away the hard work he had done for several days.
...
It was already midnight when Gao Yuan returned from Chaoda Chemical Fiber Factory. He rested in the office for a few hours, got up in the morning, and went to the cafeteria for breakfast.
In order to solve the problem of everyone's meals, Cao Feiyu invited two chefs and four aunts to help, and made three meals every day for morning, noon and evening. As for midnight snacks, there are quick-frozen wontons and dumplings in the refrigerator, and milk and instant noodles in the cabinet can also be taken casually. Anyway, you won't be so hungry that everyone will be.
Today I had a Western breakfast. Gao Yuan took fried eggs and toast and made a simple sandwich with it. The drink was coffee.
Looking around, the people who eat breakfast in the factory mainly come from the R&D department.
After more than a month of recruitment, the R&D department has now exceeded 30 people. Unfortunately, there are not many big shots, all of them are ordinary researchers with qualifications.
However, Gao Yuan was not very worried. As the company's reputation became more and more famous, the talent problem would be solved sooner or later.
After breakfast, Gao Yuan saw that the time was almost the same, so he returned to the office and called Boss Xu of Xiyin Group the first call.
After Boss Xu learned that the X2 fiber began mass production, he immediately said that he wanted to order two thousand tons, and now he wanted it, the faster the better.
Gao Yuan smiled and said to Boss Xu: "It's rare that you trust me so much. You didn't even see the goods and didn't ask about the price. You just had to order such a large batch of goods."
"But please understand that this time is different from the past. We are working hard to develop in a group and regular way, so we can no longer do the things like in the past. Once we have done the same thing, we will do it together."
"In three days, an X2 fiber ordering meeting will be held to invite interested manufacturers from all over the country to come. Boss Xu, you are the first one I invited."
Gao Yuan said it politely, but the meaning is also very obvious. As Kunlun Company expands in scale and becomes more formal, it is time to introduce more partners.
After all, according to the system's requirements, the plateau needs to wash the global chemical fiber market.
To achieve such a crazy goal, the plateau needs not a few partners, but a legion!
...
Tokyo, Shibuya, Yomiyayama.
This is a pedestrian commercial street that only local Japanese people can go to. On both sides of the street, there are many trendy shops located at the forefront of fashion, affordable Japanese izakayas, and an underground idol theater full of restless hormones.
Ono Narimasa was the first to come to the agreed izakaya. He found a long table of four and sat down, ordered beer and edamame, and waited while drinking.
Not long after, Inoue Mitsuhiko and Matsushima Yuichi also came, and the last Shigeru Ota who appeared brought a bottle of high-quality Korean soju. It was the souvenir he brought back when he went on a business trip to Seoul last week.
"For our friendship!"
Four old classmates raised their glasses and drank them all, and then replaced them with Korean soju brought by Shigeru Ota.
The owner of the izakaya did not like the guests to bring their own wine, but when they saw the four straight suits on them, the dishes they consumed were quite rich, so they turned a blind eye and pretended not to see them.
The four of Ono Narimasa are among the best among young people. After graduating from the Department of Chemistry at the University of Tokyo, they successfully entered the enviable Japanese Daishou Group.
Among them, Ono Nakamao worked for Toray Group, Inoue Mitsuhiko worked for Mitsubishi Chemical, Matsushima Yuichi was at Asahi Kasei Research Institute, and Shigeru Ota had the highest position. He was less than 30 years old and had already served as the head of the Mitsui Chemical Group.
“Let’s celebrate the unlucky DuPont Group.”
"That's right, I didn't expect the Americans to be today!"
The four good friends raised their glasses and chanted gloatingly.
Recently, the topic that everyone talked about in the chemical fiber field is Kunlun X1 fiber, which was born out of nowhere. Because this new technology suddenly came out, DuPont Group, which originally dominated quick-drying fabrics, suffered heavy losses.
Others such as THEMOLITE fabrics of Invista Group, CIBAULTRAPHIL fabrics of Autoba Group, and ACTIVENT fabrics of Gore Group, have also experienced a fierce market share.
However, their strength is relatively weak, and all the losses combined are far less serious than DuPont.
"According to industry analysts' estimates, DuPont's market share may drop by more than 50%, which will be the worst loss in DuPont's two hundred years of history."
"DuPont should thank Kunlun Company for their fiber products only sold within China, otherwise the Americans would probably die with their eyes open."
The four people laughed again.
DuPont Group has always been a strong rival in Japan's chemical fiber industry, so people in the chemical fiber industry in Japan are happy to see the Americans unlucky.
Inoue Mitsuhiko sighed, "At the same time, that Kunlun company is really amazing. The technical department has studied their X1 fiber for a long time, but the more they study, the more they discover the amazing potential it is."
Yuichi Matsushima nodded slightly and said, "Yes, X1 fiber has created a super honeycomb structure. While increasing the fiber pore size, it also maintains the toughness of the fiber. No one has done this before. In my opinion, Mr. Gaoyuan, who invented this fiber, must leave his name in history. If he doesn't do it well, he will be nominated for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry."
Narimasa Ono smiled bitterly and said, "Then Mr. Gaoyuan must write the paper first. I am very doubtful now. I am not interested in the Nobel Prize nomination?"
"Everyone in the world who engages in organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and materials science are staring at him, but he has no movement at all. Is it strange that you think it's strange?"
"It's so strange!" Inoue Mitsuhiko said: "I don't understand why the Chinese Academy of Sciences doesn't urge Mr. Kakazo to let him do that?"
Well…
"It seems that this Mr. Gaoyuan is not from the Chinese Academy of Sciences." Datian Shige said.
"It's true that Mr. Gaoyuan is not only not a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, nor is he affiliated with any Chinese scientific research system. He is a free researcher." Yuichi Matsushima said.
"It feels so amazing! A free man who does not belong to any scientific research organization can actually develop super fibers that have caused sensation around the world?"
"If possible, I really want to take apart this person's head and take a look. What's special about it."
The four people chatted happily, and the topic quickly became devastated from DuPont Group and moved to Kunlun Company and Gaoyuan.
There is no doubt that X1 fiber has set off a fierce trend in the global chemistry and materials science industries. Now, who doesn’t know the Plateau Daming, and hundreds of research reports on X1 fiber have been released.
