Chapter 90 Subversion (for the helm master Wuji 2016
The group soon arrived at the factory of Mengyuan Technology, and Du Qiu personally conducted a demonstration.
When they saw that the entire production line was running automatically, the representatives of the three manufacturers were stunned. How much labor would be saved?
In the current manufacturing industry, labor costs remain high.
Also, it seems that the production line should be very environmentally friendly, with no possibility of pollution at all.
Unlike the current production process, which is very polluting, factories are generally set up in relatively remote places and equipped with a large number of environmental protection equipment.
"Dr. Du, how many tons can the annual output of this production line be?" Ding Shengnan asked.
Du Qiu smiled mysteriously and said: "My line can produce one batch in an hour. You can see how many finished products are produced later and you can calculate it yourself."
Soon, when an hour passed and the robot placed the finished carbon fiber properly, everyone saw the numbers displayed on the weighing sensor.
100kg!
It was Ding Shengnan who was the first to ask, "Dr. Du, can this production line run continuously?"
"Of course you can. You can choose to run 24 hours a day and then shut down for maintenance after a few days of operation. You can also run for more than ten hours during the day and perform maintenance at night like the high-speed rail."
"Oh my god, if calculated as half a day, it would be nearly 500 tons per year!" Zheng Yuanhua exclaimed.
Xu Chen from another company picked up the carbon fibers and inspected them with his assistant, and asked: "Dr. Du, can we use your testing equipment to test these carbon fibers?"
"Okay, it's over there."
A group of people quickly gathered around to watch Xu Chen test it in person.
Du Qiu and Reinsoko did not pass.
Reinsoko said excitedly: "Du, I didn't expect that your materials science is so good, and the carbon fiber industry should be subverted by you.
It’s over, I feel like I’m already your crazy fan. Boss, are you in need of accessories?”
Du Qiu couldn't help but smile, "Bati, what have you been reading on the Internet?"
Reinsoko said: "I have been reading some online novels recently, and of course there are those about this chapter. Many times I am amused by those about this chapter."
Du Qiu is a little funny. Who would have thought that foreigners also like to read Tang Dynasty's online novels? No wonder there is an international version at a certain point.
"No kidding. After these people pay the patent license fee, we will have money. Then you must recruit researchers from the German R&D Center as soon as possible. I will give you several research directions."
"Tell me about it." Reinsoko said seriously.
"Photonic chips, quantum chips, artificial intelligence algorithms, and astronomy, these are the four directions for the time being." Du Qiu said, twirling his fingers.
Reinsoko was a little surprised and asked: "I can understand the first three, but what does astronomy mean? What do you want to study?"
"Help me find capable astronomers. It doesn't take a lot of people, but they must be familiar with star maps. At least a detailed star map within 500 light-years around the solar system must be drawn."
"Why?"
"Because our goal is the sea of stars!" Du Qiu said.
"You..." Reinsoko was speechless and said, "Forget it, let's wait until these people are willing to pay. If there is no money, I will put your astronomy at the lowest priority."
Du Qiu smiled. Of course he would not tell the real reason, but he was right. His current development goal is the sea of stars.
Because Du Qiu found that every time he dreamed of the white vortex, the path he took to travel through the sea of stars was fixed, which made him want to explore it involuntarily.
Maybe along the path, you can find the location of alien civilization?
After the three manufacturers completed the test, a group of people went to the company conference room to sit down and discuss.
It was Ding Shengnan who spoke first again, "Dr. Du, I wonder how much it costs to license your carbon fiber production patent? How long is the license period?"
Du Qiu smiled and said: "I will grant patent license rights to three companies. Each company's license fee is 1 billion yuan. The scope of the license is global and the time is ten years."
"One billion? It's too expensive!" Ding Shengnan exclaimed.
Zheng Yuanhua also echoed: "Yes, Dr. Du, your time is still ten years, which is equivalent to 100 million a year.
How big is the total domestic carbon fiber market at present, and it is divided among three of us, so even if we divide it evenly, it is estimated that each of them will be worth more than one billion yuan."
Xu Chen, the general manager of Hongwei New Materials, did not speak. Instead, he was talking quietly with his assistant.
Du Qiu put his hands on the table, looked at everyone and said: "Mr. Zheng, your thinking is still stuck on the original carbon fiber market capacity.
The price of the low-end carbon fiber you currently produce is 160,000 yuan per ton, and the price of imported high-end products is more than 260,000 yuan.
If it is T10000 standard carbon fiber, the price per ton is as high as one million yuan, and sometimes foreign manufacturers may not necessarily sell it to Tang Guo.
Although the quality of my carbon fiber does not meet the T10000 standard, the cost does not exceed 3,000 yuan, and it can completely replace automobile steel.
Once it goes on the market, it will surely detonate the entire carbon fiber application market, and the market size will explode exponentially.
Do you think the domestic carbon fiber application market in the future will only be a few tens of thousands of tons and a few billion yuan? What's more, the production license I authorize you is global."
"Dr. Du is right. The price of 100 million a year is very reasonable. However, I may need to get authorization from the board of directors before I can sign a contract with you."
Xu Chen stopped talking to his assistant and expressed support for Du Qiu's words.
Zheng Yuanhua glanced at Xu Chen and cursed in his mind, "Cunning!"
Then he said with a smile on his face: "Yes, we also need the approval of the board of directors for such a large amount of funds."
Du Qiu nodded and said: "Of course I didn't ask you to sign the contract now. But..."
Du Qiu paused and glanced at the representatives of the three companies.
Then he said: "I can only give you three days to think about it. If you don't sign the contract after three days, it will be regarded as giving up.
I will look for other manufacturers willing to purchase this patent, and there will still be three.
I believe you have just watched the scene and you should understand that my patent is a subversion of the carbon fiber market. From now on, there will only be three companies authorized by me in this market.
My patent license means a monopoly with a scale of tens of billions in the future.
To be honest, I think 100 million a year is too cheap. Maybe when you come back to sign the contract in three days, I may increase the price."
Qin Yun looked at Du Qiu and felt that his words were very domineering.
Rhine Soko gave Du Qiu a thumbs up, and then said: "Du, I can invite SIG Materials, Lanxess, and Simai Group to come. They will definitely be willing to pay a higher price to obtain this patent license.
right."
The identity of Rhine Soko has been introduced to everyone present before. Representatives of the three manufacturers did not pay much attention at first, thinking that he was just the person in charge of the overseas R&D center of Mengyuan Technology.
At this moment, when I heard him mention the top three companies in the German carbon fiber field, I suddenly felt bad.
They have fully seen the value of the new carbon fiber production method invented by Du Qiu, and what Du Qiu said is absolutely right.
Once the cheap carbon fiber produced by this method comes out, the original market structure of carbon fiber will inevitably be overturned, and a market many times larger than before will emerge.
Whoever gets the right to use Du Qiu's patent will win the right to speak in this market.
Zheng Yuanhua felt that the entire negotiation was controlled by Du Qiu, and felt very uncomfortable. He asked with some reluctance: "Dr. Du, what you just said, does it mean that only three companies in the entire carbon fiber market can obtain your patent license?"
"Yes, and Mengyuan Technology will provide these three companies with automated production line equipment and various services for a long time."
Du Qiu has already planned that the production line will be exclusively provided by Mengyuan Technology, and he can make a fortune from this.
Ding Shengnan tapped the table and said, "Dr. Du, where is the contract text? We signed it at Zhijian Technology!"
