Chapter 84 Never admit defeat! North America strikes back!

"The stock price plummeted now, enough for them to drink a pot." Cao Feiyu said excitedly, but the plateau looked very calm.

When Cao Feiyu finished speaking, Gao Yuan smiled and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, Kunlun Infinity should be our only project in the field of polymer materials in recent times. The next step is very critical. We must sprint towards the global science and technology core and we must not be distracted."

"As the saying goes, focus on the big and let go of the small. Compared with the real high-tech field, although the output value of sports shoes is good, it cannot be considered core competitiveness. Let strategic partners do it, and we should focus on big things."

Cao Feiyu knew that the core technology mentioned by Gaoyuan refers to battery projects. Whether it is mobile phones, computers, or electric cars, they all need batteries.

If the solid-state battery project is really successful, Kunlun Company will break out of the chemical fiber field and put its own flag on the battlefield of high-tech around the world!

...

One afternoon in late April, a special plane of the Japanese tire giant Bridgestone Group landed at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport.

Ishihashi Kishimoto and his senior assistant Yagyu Ota came to the Michelin Paris headquarters thousands of miles away to discuss how to jointly deal with the fierce offensive from China.

The old saying goes, colleagues are enemies.

As a two giant in the tire industry, Bridgestone can actually sit with Michelin and play happily, which is definitely the first time that Bridgestone can actually sit and play happily.

The reason behind this is very simple. The increasingly crazy attacks of the eight major tire groups in China have gradually become unsupported by traditional Western giants.

The powerful part of Kunlun Rolling Stone technology is that it is very different from traditional tires. The more in extreme states, the more stable the tires are.

The principle of this Plateau once explained that the performance of a rolling stone tire is released through the vibration frequency, and the high-speed state, sharp turn state, sharp brake state, etc. will bring huge friction and pressure to the tires. These are the opportunities for the rolling stone technology to release performance.

In the stationary test, the Rolling Stone Tires were mediocre, and the various indicators were even weaker than the advanced products of Michelin and Bridgestone.

However, once it reaches the high-speed state, the performance of the Rolling Stone tires will skyrocket like a rocket. No matter any test conducted in any organization, the Rolling Stone tires will defeat all competitors with an absolute crushing advantage!

Consumers are not fools. Even if they are determined to protect Western companies, they will not take risks with their lives. After all, tires are related to the safety performance of cars and the lives of drivers and passengers. They are not careless.

As a result, the situation of traditional tire giants took a sharp turn for the worse, sales fell again and again, and the finances were tight, so they had to rely on layoffs and state subsidies to survive.

Now in order to help tire companies, Japan has introduced a subsidy plan for purchasing domestic tires, with each domestic tire subsidy of 2,000 yen, and old tires can also be discounted from suppliers.

In this way, it is equivalent to buying and giving away half a gift, which will force the five major tire factories in Japan to fail, and all taxpayers will give them blood transfusions.

The main reason why the Japanese government is so firm is that as an old neighbor of China, they really understand the methods of the Chinese.

Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is in Pei Gong. The Japanese authorities are highly suspicious that the ultimate goal of the plateau is actually aimed at the Japanese automobile industry! That is the core pillar they must not lose.

"Look." As the car drove past the Champs-Elysees, Shiqiaoban raised his chin expressionlessly outside the window. "Even the proud French people now wear Chinese sneakers."

Yagyu Ota looked over the president's sight and saw that there were no less than ten Chinese brand stores on the most expensive street in Paris. Li Ning was next to Dior, Anta was close to Chanel, and Hailan was accompanied by Ferragamo...

Moreover, the business of these stores is very good, and many high-ranking people with extraordinary clothes are waiting to line up to enter.

When the car turned a corner, Yagyu Ota saw a young Chinese couple setting up a stall on the roadside, selling sports shoes and hiking shoes from China.

They are professional purchasing agents. In the past, they helped Chinese people buy brand-name clothing and bags. Now they have another business, purchasing sports shoes from Chinese and selling them to French people...

"It is human nature to pursue higher, farther and stronger." Yagyu Ota said: "Even the arrogant French people cannot resist the temptation of strengthening their athletic ability. This has nothing to do with nationality or nationality, and is a purely technological issue."

Ishihashi Kishimoto nodded slightly, "I know, so I am worried that if Michelin sells its business to North Americans, it will eventually cause our tragedy."

Yagyu Ota hurriedly said: "The president is wise. When the chemical fiber battle was in the first place, you made an accurate judgment. In the Sino-US war, our Japanese companies will eventually fall, and the facts have fulfilled your point of view."

Ishihashi Kishimoto smiled bitterly, "The Chinese people disdain to talk about history with any civilization, because all the great civilizations in history are dead, and only they are still alive."

"Similarly, North Americans don't bother talking about hegemony with anyone, because in recent centuries, all those who dared to compete with them have died, including the once arrogant former Soviet Union."

"This is the ultimate war in human history. Only North America and China are evenly matched opponents. After all, we are just spectators in this civilized battle."

"Take this chemical fiber war as an example. Dongyang Textile fell down and Fuji Textile fell down. Our Japanese chemical fiber enterprises were corpses everywhere and blood flowed into a river."

"But what about DuPont Group in North America? Not only did they not fall, they also joined forces with 3M Group, ExxonMobil Group, and Goodyear Group to prepare to acquire the French Michelin Group! They are unwilling to give up and will fight with the Chinese again in the tire market!"

"We must stop this acquisition, because once North America acquires Michelin, with their strategy, they will inevitably fight the Chinese people to the end at all costs! And that will be a burden that we cannot bear!"

"In the past, the one who died in the chemical fiber war was not DuPont, but our Japanese chemical fiber companies. I am really worried that the tire war will repeat the same mistakes."

Yagyu Ota focused on the key points. He admired the president's judgment very much. He foresaw the final outcome just as the chemical fiber battle began.

And this time, they traveled from Tokyo to Paris to prevent North America from acquiring Michelin Group.

Originally, the tire war was Japan and France, which teamed up to fight against China.

Goodyear, the largest tire company in North America, can only rank fourth in the world, lags behind the German Continental, and is often squeezed to fifth by Pirelli, Italy, and has no market dominance at all.

If North America acquires Michelin, its tire industry will instantly become the world's number one. At that time, in the war with China, Japanese and Korean companies will probably die.

With a worried mood, Ishihashi Kishimoto walked into Michelin President Fellaini, a mansion located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, near the Boune Forest.

As soon as he entered the door, Shiqiaoban was slightly stunned and found that many guests had already gathered in the living room covered with cashmere carpets. Although it was still daytime, they were holding champagne in their hands.

"This is normal. We were like this at the beginning, and we were not prepared at all. Suddenly, the Kunlun Company declared war." Fellaini shrugged and said helplessly to a guest in a maroon suit: "I was holding a cocktail here that day. Everyone was drinking red wine and eating truffle oxtails. Suddenly, I saw the plateau lifting the red cloth and showing an air tire. The guests present and I were stunned on the spot!"

"Who would have thought that a group of Chinese people who make chemical fibers actually built tires!"

"Thinking about it now, that day was like a nightmare. You know everything from that to the future. Kunlun Rolling Stone List's main racing stadiums in the world shocked the world. The eight major tire groups in China took action around the world, and their market share continued to soar."

Ishihashi Kishimoto was stunned and heard Michelin President Fellaini introduce his experience of being beaten by Kunlun Company to his friends.

He hurriedly took two steps forward and looked carefully. Only then did he realize that it was not someone else who heard the Michelin president introduce his experience.
