What Yoshiki Morioka said was an angry remark, but Nicole's reply obviously didn't mean to hold back. Instead, he started shouting. Yoshiki Morioka has also been in the business world for many years, how could he listen to it?
I don’t understand the meaning of this. If the other party dares to say this, can he really find graphene for less than 5 US dollars?
"Mr. Nicol, are you saying that the price of graphene you currently get from the Chinese is less than $5 per gram?" Yoshiki Morioka lowered his voice a little and asked. In fact, he didn't want to hide it.
Who, just used this tone to indicate that this is a private inquiry.
"Yes, China's Daqin Group sells graphene to us at a supply price of US$5 per gram." Nicol officially reported to Morioka Yakidichi.
"Are you sure?" Yoshiki Morioka couldn't believe it at all, but Nicole's previous performance made him feel that this was true.
Nicole was too lazy to talk to Morioka Yoshiki Rosso anymore. He snorted and said: "I assure you on the basis of my personality that this price is indeed the supply price of Daqin Group. And as far as I know, they
The supply prices to several other companies are also around this level."
After saying this, Nicol put down the phone. He knew that Ninzuka Chemical needed some time to digest the information. When they were able to lower the supply price to this level, Yoshiki Morioka would definitely come back.
I contacted him. As for the price reduction, he didn't want to hear any more nonsense.
Yoshiki Morioka was dumbfounded. He didn't know how he put the microphone back on the phone. He looked at Saburo Hanatani and didn't know what to say for a long time.
"Five dollars?" Saburo Hanatani turned to look at Gen Yoshida. He had also heard what Nicole said on the phone just now. At this level, it was no longer interesting to suspect that the other party was cheating.
"The Chinese are engaged in dumping!" Gen Yoshida held it in for a long time and finally came up with a reason. "In order to monopolize this market, they are selling at a price lower than cost!"
"Isn't this unlikely?" Yoshiki Morioka shook his head, "They don't have this need. In fact, at a price of US$8 or US$10 per gram, they have been able to block us out of the market, and there is no need to lose money.
Promotion. The only explanation is that their production cost is indeed less than 5 US dollars. Yoshida-kun, can you guess how they did it."
"Unless..." Yoshida Gen's lips moved, as if he wanted to stop talking.
"Chairman, this is a piece of news that I just found." Hanatani Saburo's secretary came in and handed over a piece of printing paper. Nitsuka Chemical has its own intelligence department. It keeps track of all kinds of intelligence related to itself around the world. General
They will submit the information in a compiled form to senior executives and relevant functional departments. And particularly important information will be reported directly to Saburo Hanatani quickly as now.
"It's the news that was just broadcast on China National Television..." Saburo Hanatani glanced at the title on the printed paper and said, "The news said that Daqin Group invested 2.2 billion yuan, equivalent to 265 million U.S. dollars, to build Cenzhou in Anhe Province.
The carbon materials factory, after two months of full-load trial production, recently announced that it was officially put into production. Relevant officials participated in the commissioning ceremony. The main product of this carbon materials factory is graphene, which uses the vapor deposition process. Nissan...
1,500 kilograms!”
"Hiss..." Yoshida Gen covered his cheeks and fell directly on the stool. A one-time investment of 265 million US dollars directly formed a daily production capacity of 1,500 kilograms. This is such a crazy act, but this Qin Hai actually
It's really done.
US$265 million is a great investment even for Nitsuka Chemical. This is not to say that Nitsuka Chemical has not made such a large investment. In fact, a large ethylene plant or some other chemical equipment has invested
500 million or 1 billion US dollars is not surprising.
The key is that graphene is a brand-new product. No one can say clearly how big the market demand will be. Under normal circumstances, a company should first build a small-scale or medium-scale device, such as a daily production of 100 kilograms.
Or 200 kilograms, test the market demand. If the market demand is less than this quantity, then due to the small initial investment, the company will not bear too much burden. If the market demand is large, then the supply exceeds demand for a period of time, there is also hunger marketing
The effect is to gain some additional profits.
Nitsuka Chemical thought this way, so the first set of equipment that Yoshida Gen renovated was exactly the scale of 200 kilograms per day. Previously, Yoshida Gen heard from Wang Xiaochen that Daqin Group was only planning to form a production capacity of 5 kilograms per day. Later, according to customers
Feedback from there also speculated that Daqin Group might build a device with a capacity of about 200 kilograms. Gen Yoshida also speculated on the graphene cost of Daqin Group based on this production scale. What he never expected was that Qin Hai would dare to do this
Zi invested nearly 300 million US dollars and built a device with a daily output of 1,500 kilograms.
Isn't he worried about overcapacity?
Yoshida Gen didn't know that Qin Hai had full confidence in the graphene market because he understood the performance and application range of graphene, and knew how many fields graphene could be used in once the price dropped. These fields were very important for graphene products.
The demand is very huge and can fully absorb the daily production capacity of 1,500 kilograms.
Qin Hai opens up the research on graphene and recruits technical personnel from all over the world to Hongze to study the application of graphene. It is also preparing to expand the graphene market. Under normal circumstances, companies like Mamen Company may need two to
It took three years to pay attention to the impact of graphene and develop new products based on graphene. Under Qin Hai's promotion, this process only took three months. Now Mamen Company uses graphene as raw material to produce various products.
This special film has taken the entire European and American market by storm. The daily supply of 20 kilograms of graphene is no longer enough. We are actively contacting Daqin Group to request an increase in supply.
Daqin Group quietly built a device with a daily output of 1,500 kilograms, hiding it from its peers, including Nitsuka Chemical. By the time the news was finally exposed, they had been secretly producing at full capacity for two months. As for the
What kind of trial production are these two months? This is simply an insult to everyone’s IQ. Whose device is running at full capacity during trial production. Calculating the cost of graphene per gram of US$5, one day of full-load production is 750
With an investment of 10,000 US dollars, is there such a bold “trial production”?
To put it bluntly, isn't it just deceiving others? Ninzuka Chemical didn't hear the bell, and it happily wanted to start a price war with others.
Their craftsmanship is better than yours, and the scale of their production equipment is seven times that of yours. What are you using to start a price war?
"Chairman, what should we do?" Yoshiki Morioka looked at Saburo Hanatani and asked, looking like he was crying but not smiling.
"Stop the production line..." Hanatani Saburo ordered through gritted teeth, "If we continue to produce, we will be dragged to death by the Chinese!"
The secretary immediately went to convey the order. Hanatani Saburo turned to Morioka Yoshiki and said: "Our products can no longer compete. What we need to consider now is to stop the loss as much as possible. Morioka-kun, please talk to each customer again
Contact us and tell us that our graphene is supplied at... US$5 per gram."
"That's all we can do." Yoshiki Morioka sighed. With a cost of US$14.5 and selling at a price of US$5, he would lose nearly US$10 per gram. But what if he doesn't do this? There is a backlog in the warehouse.
The graphene that comes down will definitely be sold at a depreciation in the end. If you don’t sell it now, you won’t be able to sell it at a better price in the future.
"Yoshida-kun, do you think it is necessary for us to continue producing graphene?" Hanatani Saburo asked Yoshida Gen again.
Yoshida Yuan nodded and said: "Yes, unless we really want to give up this market. Graphene will definitely be an important raw material in the future. In addition to pure graphene, there will also be various modified products.
It is impossible for us to give up all the opportunities for these products. Chairman, please rest assured that I will lead my men to work hard to improve the technology and reduce the cost to a level comparable to that of the Chinese."
"Go ahead and do it." Hanatani Saburo said with difficulty. He knew that Yoshida Gen's opinion was correct. Even if Ninzuka Chemical cannot compete with Daqin Group on graphene now, it will not be able to give up the graphene market in the future.
.This product will have more and more uses in the future. As a company with strong strength in carbon chemicals, how could it not enter the graphene market?
Absolutely no, absolutely no, I was too impatient before and did not expect that my opponent would be so generous, so I squeezed myself out of the door at once. If Yoshida Gen requested, he could be given more
With more time, allowing him to fully optimize the production process and reduce costs to a lower level, it is impossible for Ninzuka Chemical to be unable to fight back against Daqin Group.
It’s not too late to make amends. What we have to do now is to get rid of the backlog of products first, and then give Gen Yoshida more time to solve the cost problem. As for how much profit Daqin Group can make during this period,
Hanatani Saburo didn't want to think about it anymore. This was not something he could change.
"Qin Hai is really a terrible opponent." Saburo Hanagani murmured while holding the love paper.
Morioka Yoshiki said: "If we cannot contain Daqin Group, within 10 years, it will challenge us in the market where we have an advantage."
"Yes, in order to contain Daqin Group, we must master graphene technology and win the trust of customers. As for how to do this, Morioka-kun and Yoshida-kun, I leave it to you two."
Saburo Hanatani bowed deeply to his two subordinates, and Yoshiki Morioka and Gen Yoshida quickly stood up to return the bow. It was such a solemn and solemn scene. (To be continued.) h211
