Chapter 171: Longdu secret decree, top-secret meeting!
In the office.
After Li Yang briefly looked through the two drawings, he decided to prioritize the development of the first civilian version of the [Multifunctional Constant Temperature Clothing for Cold and Sun Protection].
Put it on the market and see the response.
Subsequently.
Then, a second powered exoskeleton assistive device was developed.
Having made up his mind, Li Yang told He Yun not to disturb him, and then plunged into his private laboratory, concentrating on researching the [Multifunctional Constant Temperature Clothing for Cold and Sun Protection].
……
Time passes quickly.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
During this half month, apart from eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, Li Yang devoted almost all his energy to the research and development of constant temperature clothing.
While he was fully committed to developing the constant temperature suit.
The Ministry of Commerce of the United States of America officially issued a document declaring:
Effective immediately, sanctions will be imposed on Longguo's carbon fiber industry.
"The relevant departments of the United States have found that many companies in the United States have been illegally purchasing high-grade carbon fiber and illegally producing harmful products."
"Moreover, for many years, Longguo enterprises have not complied with market regulations and have used carbon fiber raw materials to produce products that involve a variety of confidential behaviors."
"Based on the above situation, the United States will impose sanctions on Chinese companies and restrict Chinese companies from importing carbon fiber of all levels..."
The sanctions imposed by the United States on China's carbon fiber came so suddenly that many companies and individuals did not have time to take corresponding measures.
and……
The Eagle Sauce Country is not joking at all.
Many carbon fiber importers in Longguo had already signed import contracts with them and even sent merchant ships over.
But as soon as the sanctions order came down, they tore up the contract and refused to deliver the goods to the Longguo enterprise.
Without any choice.
The importer's ship from Longguo had to return empty.
These scenes quickly spread online, sparking heated discussions among netizens.
"The Eagle Sauce Country is really unreasonable. It suddenly imposes sanctions without any reason?"
"What can we do? They have the technology and strength, and it's up to them to decide whether to sell to us or not. We should blame ourselves. The country has invested so much money in the field of carbon fiber, but some companies only want to make profits from it and have no intention of focusing on technological research and development."
"Didn't we say some time ago that we had made a major breakthrough in carbon fiber? Why are we still stuck now?"
"Breakthrough does not mean mass production, and carbon fiber has many standards. Maybe we have only made a breakthrough in low-grade carbon fiber? High-grade carbon fiber has always been controlled by developed countries such as the Sakura Country and the Eagle Sauce Country. If the Eagle Sauce Country does not lift sanctions in a short period of time, not only will our civilian carbon fiber products be affected, but even some military equipment, aerospace equipment, etc. will also be controlled!"
"..."
The internet is full of pessimism and concerns about the upcoming situation.
Discussions on social forums are mostly for netizens to watch the fun.
But some carbon fiber product companies in Longguo are worried at this moment.
The unexpected sanctions from the United States caught them off guard.
all the time.
They all rely on imported carbon fiber to maintain basic production.
It is now impossible to import it, and there is no alternative carbon fiber in the short term.
The subsequent production was undoubtedly in trouble.
……
KANGLI SPORTS PRODUCTS LIMITED.
Office of the Chairman.
Gao Zhenhai frowned and rubbed his temples with his fingers.
He has been the chairman of Kangli Sports Products Co., Ltd. for so many years, but this is the first time he has encountered such a thing.
Earlier years.
Although the United States keeps saying that it will sanction China and restrict China's carbon fiber trade, it is often just a lot of noise but little action.
Moreover, the scope of their sanctions is focused on ultra-cutting-edge carbon fibers. Slightly higher-grade carbon fibers such as T-700 and T-800 are not included in their sanctions at all.
after all.
Playing the sanctions card is often the result of high-level game between two countries.
But money still needs to be made...
Unexpectedly.
I don’t know what the United States is doing this time. Not only has it imposed sanctions on high-end carbon fiber, it has also directly banned the import of civilian-grade carbon fiber.
Gao Zhenhai put down his hand, with a worried look on his face. He looked at the production director Ye Huan and marketing director Ding Wei standing in front of him and asked.
“What is the current market situation for sporting goods?”
"And...how long can the existing carbon fiber raw materials last?"
Both of them looked worried. Ding Wei nodded to Ye Huan and then spoke first.
"Chairman, there is no price fluctuation in sports goods in the Longguo market. However, some merchants, especially online merchants, have begun to take orders for some popular sports goods, such as badminton rackets, tennis rackets, etc."
In just one day, the orders their company received surged to over 100 million.
If it were any other time, they would have opened champagne to celebrate with such data.
but now……
Instead of feeling happy, they felt extremely uneasy.
After Ding Wei finished speaking, Gao Zhenhai turned his gaze to Ye Huan.
Ye Huan presented the statistical data of the production department and reported at the same time.
"If we follow the daily order demand, the carbon fiber raw materials in stock can last for a month."
"But now the orders have surged, and I'm afraid the stock of raw materials won't last for half a month..."
Gao Zhenhai looked at the data above and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
Too little!
There are too few raw materials in stock!
If we continue like this, we won’t be able to meet production demand and the machines will have to stop.
Gao Zhenhai put down the document and asked again.
“Have you tried other import routes?”
Ding Wei nodded and said.
“Tried, but with minimal effect.”
"We used other channels and tried to import from some small countries, but their scale was too small to effectively make up for the gap in raw materials."
"And if we make too big a move, it will easily attract the attention of the United States. By then, the gains will outweigh the losses, and we may even have our goods seized."
As soon as the ban was announced by the United States, he began to look for other import channels.
But the United States seems to have been prepared and is keeping a close eye on the carbon fiber exports from various countries.
Many small countries do not want to offend the United States over such matters, so it is better to do less than more and can only follow the United States' pace and join the ranks of sanctions.
The main thing is.
These small countries do not have the ability to independently produce carbon fiber raw materials, and most of them have to be imported from the United States and the United States.
and so.
If the import of carbon fiber into our country is banned due to the private export to Long Country, it would be a case of losing the big picture for the small.
Many countries are unwilling to take this risk...
Gao Zhenhai loosened his tie, stood up, walked to the window, and paced back and forth.
The sporting goods produced by Kangli have always been widely praised in Longguo. One of the reasons is that they are exquisitely crafted and fashionable in style.
The second is good quality.
The reason for its good quality is that it uses higher-grade carbon fiber.
While other sports product companies were using t-300 and t-400 grade carbon fiber, Kangli waved his hand and started using t-700 and t-800.
This is also the main reason why their products have received a warm response in the market.
but now……
The import of t-700 and t-800 is restricted, and domestic carbon fiber manufacturers are not yet able to mass-produce this high-grade carbon fiber.
Even if there is, the price is not acceptable to them at the moment...
Think of this.
Gao Zhenhai felt that the road ahead was bumpy and he was very confused.
“This level is not easy to pass!”
He sighed and was about to ask Ye Huan's production department to reduce output.
at this time.
There was a knock on the office door, and Gao Zhenhai's secretary walked in from outside and bowed and said.
"Director Gao, Dragon Country's Ministry of Commerce has sent you a secret call!"
"You are invited to visit Longdu Business Office to attend the special meeting of Longguo carbon fiber product manufacturers..."
