I Am the President of the University

This country is a factory of ube Co., Ltd.

Masayoshi Ohta is the performance polymer \u0026 chemical business director of UBE Co., Ltd., and is also the executive director of the company. Although there are presidents, presidents, and specialists above him, he is also a powerful figure in the company.

The factory inspected is also an important product of Ube Corporation: high-purity silicon nitride powder.

Although the entire global market for this product is only close to US$100 million, the future prospects are still promising. The most important thing is that high-purity silicon nitride powder has a great impact on the field of advanced ceramics. The higher the quality of the powder, the greater the impact on the performance of the ceramics. big.

Ota Masayoshi attaches great importance to this product and will come to review it from time to time. On the other hand, it is also to supervise the employees below.

"Urakami-kun, did you encounter any problems in production?" Ota Masaoshi looked at the orderly operation of the factory and was quite satisfied.

Akira Urakami, the person in charge of the factory, replied respectfully: "Minister, everything is going well in production, and thanks to Professor Nakagawa, the yield of silicon nitride powder is gradually increasing."

Ohta Masahiro nodded. He was familiar with the parameters of his own products. The purity was as high as 99.99%, which was almost the upper limit. If he wanted to improve the product, he could only work on the yield.

"By the way, in the field of silicon nitride powder, our products should still dominate. Are there any strong competitors?" Ota Masayo asked casually.

Akira Urakami patted his chest and said proudly: "Minister, don't worry, our Ube Group's high-purity silicon nitride powder is No. 1 in the industry and the absolute overlord!"

"Where is China?" Thinking of China's movements on the chip, Ota Masahiro felt worried.

"China?"

Akira Urakami was stunned, as if he didn't expect the minister to ask such a question.

Then, he coughed, his eyes filled with contempt.

"Minister, if you are asking about Germany, I think you still need to be careful, but China..."

As he said this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, "China only loves to engage in the fictitious things of the Internet, and they don't pay attention at all in the field of materials, especially silicon nitride powder, and they are already more than two generations behind our products!"

“It will take at least ten to eight years to reach the level of our products!”

"Well, I was worrying too much." Ota Masahiro patted Urakami Akira on the shoulder and praised: "With Urakami-kun in charge of silicon nitride powder, the headquarters and I are very relieved.\\u001d"

As soon as he finished speaking, his assistant Kensuke Chaili next to him answered the phone. His face changed drastically in the next second. After hanging up the phone, he quickly went to Ota Masaoshi's side and whispered a few words in a low voice.

Immediately afterwards, Ohta Masaoshi, who had been smiling just now, instantly became gloomy.

He turned to look at Urakami Akira and asked expressionlessly: "Urakami-kun, did you just say that it will take ten or eight years for China to reach our level?"

Akira Urakami was confused and didn't know what happened, but the minister's sharp change made him speechless for a moment. After hesitating for a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and said: "Minister, this is the normal situation. But, there may be special circumstances. No matter what, I believe that the quality of our company’s products is definitely the best in the industry!”

"The strongest in the industry?" Ota Masahiro snorted coldly.

He directly picked up the document on the side, threw it at the other party, and yelled: "Trash! Guanghua University in China has just announced that it has conquered high-purity silicon nitride powder technology and has prepared 99.99% pure silicon nitride powder!"

"Is this what you said it will take at least ten or eight years?"

"Not even eight hours!"

"Simi Masai!" Akira Urakami, who was scolded, bowed 70 to 80 degrees to apologize.

It wasn't until Masayoshi Ohta finished venting and left that his body stopped feeling sore.

He wiped the unstoppable sweat from his face and called his assistant with a straight face. When he found out the specific information, his face became uncertain.

"This is impossible, I don't believe the Chinese can do this!"

Equally unbelievable is Professor Nakagawa, who is responsible for scientific research at UBE.

"I don't believe that the research on silicon nitride powder is not that simple. China is far behind the international level in this regard. How can it catch up all of a sudden?"

“China was lagging behind in terms of chips before, but now it’s overtaking in a corner, isn’t it?”

Ohta Masaoshi said unceremoniously: "Nakagawa-kun, I don't want to hear this now. I just want to know, can we prepare higher quality silicon nitride powder?"

Professor Nakagawa fell into silence. After more than ten seconds, he said bitterly: "Mr. Ohta, I'm sorry, this is almost the upper limit of silicon nitride powder, and any further improvement can only be aimed at productivity."

Everyone knows the consequences of a product of the same quality as your own appearing on the market.

Even though he had been mentally prepared, hearing what Professor Nakagawa said with his own ears made Ota Masayo feel heavy in his heart.

"Nakagawa-kun, please increase the yield of silicon nitride powder, please."

After talking to Professor Nakagawa, Ohta Masairo went straight to the president's office.

The corporate system in this country is quite special. In a company, the senior management from top to bottom includes the president, president, executive, executive, and director.

The chairman and president can be regarded as the chairman and president, but they are not absolute.

Sometimes the president takes a back seat from the position of president and is a nominal emperor; sometimes the president is the number one boss with real power, and the president is just an executor.

In ube, that is, Ube Industries Co., Ltd., President Masato Izumihara is the well-deserved person in power.

After listening to what Masayo Ohta said, Masato Izumihara had a headache.

"This Guanghua University is like a bastard. How come it is so easy to get involved in the field of advanced ceramics?"

The scientific research capabilities of Guanghua University are obvious to all the world. A silicon nitride powder will not make him worry. The real reason is whether Guanghua University will continue to stay in this industry.

"And how did they conquer the high-purity silicon nitride powder technology in a short period of time?"

"The person in charge of the Guanghua project came from the National Institute of Materials Science and Technology and has cooperated with our company before, so..."

"Then can we sue the other party for stealing our core technology?"

"This...I'm afraid it won't work. We have no evidence at all.\\b"

Ohta Masairo looked embarrassed, mainly because he had taken precautionary measures against these cooperations. Logically speaking, the other party could not touch the core technology at all, and it was most likely that the other party had figured it out.

"Huh..." Izumihara Masato slowly exhaled his breath.

After pondering for a moment, he said resolutely: "In this case, before the other party has a firm foothold, we use our industrial advantages to engage in a price war with the other party, and we cannot allow the other party to develop!"

"yes!"

After a brief discussion, the two planned to hold an executive-level meeting immediately to arrange their respective tasks to fight back.

at the same time. \\b

Other companies in the same field that received this news were shocked.

This Guanghua University does not take action, but once it takes action, it will become a blockbuster.

A high-purity silicon nitride powder can reach the world's top level.

Many companies contacted Guanghua and wanted to cooperate on this matter. Unfortunately, Guanghua had already planned it and directly refused.

In this turmoil, time passed quietly,\\bThe seven-day city seminar has ended long ago.

Similarly, Guanghua University’s 2021 teacher recruitment plan will also usher in a re-examination.
