"Welcome to Kunlun Laboratory." Gao Yuan smiled and greeted Bai Hongyuan and others and said, "I have heard Xu Qingzhou talk about some of his names. It is a great honor to meet here now."

The older Xiaohui said: "Boss Gao must not be polite. We and Xu Qingzhou are colleagues and friends for many years. Moreover, your company's X-series fiber was born, which greatly boosted the morale of those of us who make basic materials, and it is worth helping."

Tan Qinggu said: "Who doesn't know Boss Gao's name now. Being able to come here and see the birth of X fiber with your own eyes is also a kind of learning for us. Maybe we will witness history."

The arrival of these senior talents made Kunlun Laboratory much more lively.

After a while of greetings, Gao Yuan left and went to find Cao Feiyu to implement the treatment of these foreign players.

Although they came to help temporarily, they could not treat others badly. All aspects of food, clothing, housing, transportation and bonuses must be arranged properly.

In addition, it has been a whole week since the X2 fiber was launched, and Gaoyuan still needs to check the company's financial status.

The factory area is actually quite large. In addition to the laboratory, Cao Feiyu also bought beds and furniture, set up a canteen and a tea room for everyone to eat and rest. He bought a Buick GL8 and a Toyota Coaster for researchers to travel to and from the city center.

However, as time goes by, the disadvantages of industrial areas gradually emerge.

It is really inconvenient to put a research team in such a remote place. Kunlun Company was not very attractive to high-level researchers. When recruiting, people heard that they were going to work in a faraway industrial area, so they all gave in.

Although Cao Feiyu has built the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Personnel, and Administration in accordance with the requirements of the plateau during this period, it is not easy to find truly high-level talents.

"Thinking about it now, your judgment was correct." Cao Feiyu smiled helplessly. "What big cities provide is not only convenience and prosperity, but also talent siphon effect. It is too difficult to recruit people in small and medium-sized cities. Moreover, we are still in the suburbs where birds do not shit, and there is not even a cinema around."

"As for Xu Qingzhou's group of people, they were assigned to work in our local area by the national team. Maybe in a few years, they will be transferred to other scientific research institutes, so they cannot be considered local talents."

"Let's work hard to make money. Let's go back to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen to buy a building, and build a group headquarters or something."

Gao Yuan frowned and smashed his mouth a few times, "It's still reliable to rent an office building. Although we have good results now, we don't dare to think about buying a house in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. The damn housing prices will sooner or later force us to death."

"By the way, the X2 fibers are starting to be released. How was the finances last week?"

Cao Feiyu took out the sorted report and put it on the table. "Last week's shipment was 1,200 tons. Due to seasonal reasons, the sales of X1 fiber dropped to 350 tons. The remaining 850 tons are X2 models, and the average gross profit per ton can reach about 23,000 yuan."

Gao Yuan fell into silence when he looked at last week's financial report.

The report clearly states that the total output of the OEM factory exceeded last week was 1,200 tons. After all sold out, the inventory was zero, which is a typical supply in short supply.

However, this is only the first week of the official shipment of X2 fibers. I believe that as the running-in level of the OEM factory increases, the production capacity will gradually increase. However, with the scale of the factory, the maximum is probably only 2,000 tons per week.

"You keep busy. I made an appointment with Li Guangda from Nanhua to talk about OEM." Gao Yuan said to Cao Feiyu.

He made a move to leave, but was stopped by Cao Feiyu. "Nanhua is a state-owned factory. If the negotiations can be completed, the production capacity will increase sharply. Should we make a price reduction plan first?"

Gao Yuan blinked his eyes and said meaningfully: "Good things are never cheap. I thought about them all night last night and decided that they would not be able to lower the price."

Cao Feiyu was slightly stunned, "But Japanese goods have dropped to less than 7,000 yuan per ton! Our X1 and X2 fiber wires are priced at 30,000 yuan per ton, and X2 fiber velvets are even more than 60,000 yuan per ton!"

Cao Feiyu's concerns are understandable. Such a huge price gap is enough to make a considerable number of customers turn to the competitors' camp.

The actual situation is indeed the case. When Japanese goods were the first to significantly reduce prices and dump, the calls for goods that had not stopped from morning to night suddenly became much less.

There is no reason. Since customers have obtained cheap Japanese products, their demand for X2 fiber velvet is naturally less urgent.

"Now most of our customers say they will use Japanese products as the main sales force, and then use our X2 fiber to create a higher-priced series. You should know what a high-end series means."

Cao Feiyu said extremely seriously: "High-end means low sales, while European, American, Japanese and Korean manufacturers have sacrificed their profits, but they have retained their market share. This winter, they will keep their share and will not be defeated. Next winter, when they accumulate enough strength, they can launch a Jedi counterattack against us!"

"Faced with those giants who have dominated the chemical fiber industry for hundreds of years, we must not take it lightly! We must also eradicate the roots, which is what you said."

Gao Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Of course I know what you said, but I know even more that in this world, the price is not omnipotent, otherwise Xiaomi would have killed Apple long ago, and Luo should have inherited Jobs' mantra."

"Will there be such a possibility?"

"Because of our existence, it is difficult to sell even if the cost is reduced?"

"And our products are still unstoppable even if they have huge profits?"

"After a careful calculation, the cost of each piece of clothing is only a few dozen yuan compared to using Japanese products. Maybe there will be a little more bedding, but this may not necessarily become an obstacle for consumers to purchase."

After hearing this, Cao Feiyu was stunned.

From a rational point of view, the possibility that Gao Yuan talked about certainly existed, but after hearing the news of the price reduction of Japanese goods, Cao Feiyu instinctively thought of following the price reduction strategy.

"Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind presses the east wind."

"Who is the most powerful force in the world in technology and capital? I also want to know the answer to this question."

"By the way, please contact me. I want to invite customers who are still willing to cooperate deeply with us now."

Gao Yuan muttered, and he threw down these words and walked straight out of the finance room.

It was still the Honda Accord that had been driving for more than ten years. It was running non-stop on the plateau and went to the largest local Southern Chemical Fiber Group.

Thinking back then, the main reason why Gao Yuan’s father cooperated more with Chaoda Chemical Fiber and less with Southern Chemical Fiber was that state-owned enterprises were more cumbersome and not as flexible as private enterprises.

But when it comes to scale, Nanhua is at least equivalent to three superpowers, and the equipment is also brand new.

However, Gao Yuan didn't know that although he was not the one who was concerned about the key, he was also named far away within the red brick walls of the imperial capital.

Before Wu Dongming returned to the imperial capital, he asked someone to say hello to Li Guangda from Nanhua. So Gaoyuan was surprised to find that he had been discussing cooperation with a state-owned factory and it was very smooth.

The next whole month of September, the plateau was very busy.

On the one hand, he focused on Nanhua Group's production capacity, and on the other hand, he was planning with his partners to launch an autumn and winter offensive.

The price plateau is not ready to reduce it, and the cost is only 6,300 yuan. The price reduction is equivalent to committing suicide by losing money, but this tone cannot be ignored.

So, a confrontation between technology and capital.

It's about to break out!
