Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

With Boeing's influence in the United States, there are few things they want to do that cannot be accomplished.

Sanctioning Nanshan Carbon Fiber is naturally a no-brainer.

Soon, the relevant departments in the United States issued a sanctions list, and Nanshan Carbon Fiber was on the list.

According to the requirements, all American companies are not allowed to have any transactions with Nanshan Carbon Fiber, which basically blocks the export path of Nanshan Carbon Fiber.

Not only that, this means that it is completely impossible for Nanshan Carbon Fiber to import equipment or raw materials from the United States.

As soon as this news was announced, it immediately attracted the attention of many media in China.

The news that Nanshan Carbon Fiber was sanctioned by the United States instantly became a hot search topic.

"Mr. Cao, the United States suddenly announced sanctions on us at this time. It is possible that they already know that the T1100 has entered mass production."

After Zeng Jianying got the news, she immediately communicated with Cao Yang.

Although the export market is not the most important market for Nanshan Carbon Fiber.

But the profit is high.

Others sell products for 300,000 per ton, but Nanshan Carbon Fiber sells them at 200,000 per ton, and still has a profit of dozens of points.

Unlike products sold to some special factories in China, the profit margin is basically about 10%.

It's a small profit but quick turnover.

"Nanshan Carbon Fiber now has tens of thousands of employees. It is very difficult to keep such a big matter completely confidential."

"Next, some information about our company's core technical personnel must be kept confidential, and everyone must also improve their security awareness."

"I'm worried that after the other party knows that T1100 has been successfully developed, they will continue to use some off-market tricks to obtain information related to the production process of this material."

"They can even do some illegal and criminal things."

Cao Yang still agreed with Zeng Jianying's judgment.

Many times, the so-called coincidence is not a coincidence at all.

There are so many coincidences in this world.

It's just that you don't know the real reason behind this coincidence.

"Relevant departments have also reminded us that dormitories are being built next to the Nanshan Carbon Fiber Factory. We will further expand supporting projects in this area so that more technical personnel can live directly in the company's dormitories."

Except for a few of the dormitories built by Nanshan Carbon Fiber, which are actually dormitories for workers, the rest are actually residential communities.

There are two-bedroom and one-living room, three-bedroom and one-living room, and even four-bedroom and one-living room units, which can be rented to the company's technical staff at low prices.

In order to cooperate with the development of Nanshan Carbon Fiber, Chang'an City has also built kindergartens, primary schools, hospitals and other related supporting facilities nearby. By then, a new town will be formed around Nanshan Carbon Fiber.

Zeng Jianying was not that concerned about this matter before and felt that what she needed to focus on was technology research and development.

But now, feeling that the company's development was threatened, he began to pay attention to the safety of his employees.

“We need to listen more to experts’ opinions on safety-related matters.”

"Then this time the sanctions plan introduced by the United States means that our sales in the international market will deteriorate significantly in the future, and we must also develop new domestic customers in a timely manner."

Although Nanshan carbon fiber T800 and above products are not exported, about 30% of T700 and below products are sold to the international market.

Now that the sudden appearance of sanctions has sounded the alarm to Cao Yang.

Once a company threatens the core interests of the United States, the other party will have no bottom line at all.

Many Chinese people today are not aware of this, let alone have seen it, but it will be different in the future.

"It shouldn't be a big problem. At most, our new T800 carbon fiber factory construction plan should be slowed down appropriately and not so fast."

"However, the increasing domestic market demand can quickly make up for this gap."

"Mr. Cao, I think you should further strengthen security."

"The main reason why Nanshan Group has been able to reach where it is today and to have so many new technologies come out is because of your presence in the company."

"Americans must be more or less aware of this situation."

"I'm worried that they will do anything in their haste."

Zeng Jianying knows best the most critical reason why Nanshan Carbon Fiber can continue to make breakthroughs.

Although Cao Yang gave all honors to Zeng Jianying externally, he knew very well how much he weighed.

Not to mention the development of the T1100 this time, even the previous T800 and other products were all achieved under Cao Yang's guidance.

Zeng Jianying also knew that even the carbon fiber production equipment produced by Nanshan Equipment was due to Cao Yang's efforts.

If the United States really wants to suppress Nanshan Carbon Fiber and prevent Nanshan Carbon Fiber from further developing and growing, the best way is to physically destroy Cao Yang.

Regarding Zeng Jianying's reminder, Cao Yang naturally knew that it was no joke.

Some people's bottom line is much lower than you think.

"Don't worry, I'm already making arrangements in this regard."

"Starting from this year, I basically won't go abroad."

"At home, it is still not that easy for Americans to cause trouble."

"My driver and bodyguards have been expanded several times now. There are even professionals from Lingnan Province who help coordinate arrangements. Safety is still guaranteed."

In order to reassure Zeng Jianying, Cao Yang also appropriately disclosed his security situation.

Although after security becomes stricter, movement will be inconvenient.

But compared with my own life, everything is worth it.

Fortunately, Cao Yang spent most of his time within the Nanshan Group and had relatively little contact with the outside world.

The public security situation in China and the management of firearms are also very strict, so there is no need to worry about this issue in particular.

The most important thing is that if you continue to worry after taking precautions, it makes no sense.

When the time comes, the consequences will be too much for the gain, and it will mess up my mentality.

"That would be the best!"

"This time, Nanshan Carbon Fiber is sanctioned. I am worried that Nanshan Equipment and Nanshan Special Steel may also be sanctioned later."

"It is necessary for the group to make a plan on how to deal with similar situations in the future."

Since this topic was discussed with Cao Yang, Zeng Jianying naturally wanted to mention more of her own views.

Not ten years later, a Chinese private company has been sanctioned by the United States. This is still relatively rare.

Therefore, there should be relatively little preparation within Nanshan Group for this aspect.

At least that's what Zeng Jianying thinks.

"You are right. More and more companies may be sanctioned in the future."

"But looking at this problem from another angle, it also means that our technology is becoming more and more advanced."

"Otherwise, why would people sanction you?"

"Do companies that simply assemble computers need to worry about being sanctioned?"

Cao Yang is quite open-minded about Nanshan Carbon Fiber being sanctioned.

There will be more and more similar things in the future.

Why has Cao Yang been so obsessed with localization in recent years? He hopes that all equipment and materials can be 100% domestically produced?

It's not just about taking precautions and considering future sanctions.

Now it is Nanshan Carbon Fiber. If Nanshan Semiconductor starts to make it in the future, it will definitely be sanctioned.

There is also the Nanshan Special Steel and Nanshan Equipment mentioned by Zeng Jianying, which will most likely be sanctioned in the future.

Even Nanshan Robotics and Nanshan Precision Instruments will be sanctioned in the future.

To a certain extent, the more severe the sanctions, the more powerful the technical strength of Nanshan Group is.

As long as it is used well, it will be beneficial for Nanshan Group to expand the domestic market.

"That's true. It is very rare for domestic private enterprises with higher technical content than our group."

"This sanction is also our honor."

After hearing Cao Yang's opinion, Zeng Jianying immediately turned around.

Nanshan Carbon Fiber will not collapse because of this sanction!

As for the so-called selling carbon fiber to sensitive areas and countries such as Persia, there will be no need to worry about it in the future.

As long as the money is in place, everything will be fine.

Anyway, there are only a few companies in the world that can produce carbon fiber of this level like T800.

Some countries are destined to have no way to buy this product from companies such as Toray and Hexcel.

Then Nanshan Carbon Fiber is their only choice.

While Zeng Jianying and Cao Yang were discussing the sanctions against Nanshan Carbon Fiber in a relaxed mood, public opinion online exploded.

"What's going on? Nanshan Carbon Fiber has been sanctioned?"

"If I remember correctly, Nanshan Carbon Fiber is a company under Nanshan Group, right? Is there something going on that we don't know about?"

"To give you some popular science, before the emergence of Nanshan Carbon Fiber, T800 carbon fiber was a product banned from China. Other high-end carbon fibers above T300 were not produced by any manufacturer in China. They were all imported from Toray and other companies at high prices!"

"Nanshan Group is awesome! It was actually sanctioned by the United States. I've learned a lot!"

"Nanshan Carbon Fiber sold military materials to Persia and was then sanctioned? Why does this feel like a made-up joke?"

"Awesome, my Nanshan! Does this mean that the technical level of Nanshan's carbon fiber is very high? Otherwise, why would the United States sanction it?"

"In the past, T700 carbon fiber sold for two million yuan per ton, and the price was still low. Now it can be purchased for hundreds of thousands! Now you can understand why Nanshan Carbon Fiber has been sanctioned, right?"

"Why have I never heard of any other private company being sanctioned by the United States? Nanshan Group has set a precedent."

…

Various comments made Nanshan Carbon Fiber and Nanshan Group become famous immediately.

Many of the hot searches on Weibo are related to this news.

"Mr. Xu, I think the fact that Nanshan Carbon Fiber has been sanctioned needs to arouse our vigilance."

Different people have different views on the news.

As a private enterprise that attaches great importance to technology research and development, Warwick Company immediately felt a chill after seeing the news that Nanshan Carbon Fiber was sanctioned.

In particular, Huawei HiSilicon is engaged in chip design, which is one of the most important industries in the United States.

At that time, Japan successfully surpassed the United States in the chip industry, and then was eliminated.

Even the younger brother will be tortured, let alone Huaxia Enterprises.

So after much deliberation, Lian Zhidian felt that he should have a chat with Xu Jun and consider the plan in advance.

"Do you think we may be sanctioned by the United States in the future?"

Xu Jun was very smart and understood the meaning of Lian Zhitian's words immediately.

The main reason is that he also knows the strength of his company very well.

Before they appeared, communication companies such as Alcatel and Motorola were making a lot of money comfortably.

But now a large part of the market has been taken away by Warwick.

Those people will definitely have opinions.

In a capitalist society, capital is the ruling class, and the influence of large enterprises is extremely huge.

To put it bluntly, if you affect the interests of these large enterprises, you are also affecting the interests of the local ruling class.

That's why people use all kinds of tricks to deal with you.

Introducing some policy restrictions is baseless.

For example, General Electric's acquisition of Alstom is a full set of stories.

"Yes, I think as our chip and communication technology continue to advance, it will definitely bring competitive pressure to American companies."

"It's possible that people will use any means to deal with us at that time."

Lian Shitian said in a rather affirmative tone.

There are too few Chinese companies that truly master core technologies and can be competitive internationally.

There are even fewer companies that control the world's most advanced technologies.

Nanshan Carbon Fiber is such a company, and Warwick's goal is to become such a company.

Then there will definitely be no way to make money easily in the end.

"Your concerns are not unreasonable, but it is actually very difficult for us to completely get rid of this influence."

"For example, most of our chips are manufactured by TSMC."

"Even if we can find other manufacturers in China, the equipment of these manufacturers must be imported from abroad."

"When the time comes, they will take a multi-pronged approach in terms of equipment, raw materials, etc., and there will be no way for us to avoid it!"

Xu Jun frowned and told a cruel fact.

In the communications and semiconductor industries, there is simply no way to fully localize various materials and equipment.

At least there is no way now.

If someone really wants to deal with you, there are many ways to do it.

"I heard a piece of news, I don't know if it's true or not."

Lian Shitian is not the kind of person who listens to the wind or rain, but this time, he felt that he could still talk about the rumors he heard.

"Nanshan Equipment has set up a semiconductor division internally, and plans to independently develop a series of equipment including photolithography machines. It is preparing to completely localize the semiconductor industry so that Nanshan Semiconductor can purchase all equipment and raw materials in China. "

"Although this dream sounds a bit incredible, I don't know if the other party is really doing this."

"But Nanshan Group has brought too many miracles to everyone over the years. I think this incident should not be groundless."

"In the future, some of our projects and even chip foundry can be considered to be produced by Nanshan Semiconductor."

"According to the current progress, Nanshan Semiconductor's Magic City factory will be almost completed by the end of this year, and it will be put into production in the first half of next year at the latest."

"At that time, the cooperative relationship between us can consider further improvement."

"If Nanshan Semiconductor can really localize the entire industry chain in the future, it will indirectly solve the risks of our chip foundry."

This is not the first time that Lian Zhitian has proposed strengthening cooperation with Nanshan Semiconductor within the company.

But this time's suggestion made Xu Jun feel even deeper.

This matter really needs to be carefully considered and implemented as early as possible.

Otherwise, if it is suddenly sanctioned then, the losses will be huge.

"I will discuss this topic with everyone at the next company board meeting."

"Let's see how to deal with this situation that may arise in the future."

"At the same time, we must also learn from Nanshan Group and further increase the pace of localization in the industrial chain, otherwise we will be stuck in more and more places in the future."

Following Xu Jun's answer, there was soon some movement within Warwick.

Of course, this is all for later.

…

"President, Nanshan Carbon Fiber has been sanctioned. Most of the future orders in the international market will be lost to them."

Different from the situation in China, Japan was obviously applauding and celebrating the U.S. sanctions on Nanshan Carbon Fiber, and was very happy.

Especially for Toray, most of the carbon fiber on the international market was produced by their company.

But after the emergence of Nanshan Carbon Fiber, the situation changed dramatically.

Now relying on the sanctions imposed by the United States, Toray can definitely regain part of the market.

Especially the market in the United States is worth looking forward to.

"It seems that Heshe moved very quickly. It didn't take long for us to pass on the news."

Although Saganu was happy, he was also a little worried.

Hexcel can use this method when dealing with Nanshan Carbon Fiber.

So if we want to deal with Toray in the future, are there many methods that can be used?

Will Toray not even be able to fight back by then?

"Hexcel's own influence may not be that great, but Hexcel's customers are basically American military industry giants, and the influence of these companies is very huge."

"In addition to being used in the sports industry, the largest market for high-end carbon fiber is actually the military industry market."

"The emergence of Nanshan carbon fiber will pose a threat to the U.S. military industry, so they naturally attach great importance to it."

Taro Kondo is obviously very familiar with market conditions.

As the sales director of Toray, he is quite qualified.

"Indeed, according to the speculations of some of our engineers, if China's missiles use the T1100, they can achieve an increase in range while reducing weight."

"As for satellites, every pound of weight is very precious. The significance of T1100 is as extraordinary as Aki."

"Even for China's new generation fighter jets, some of the final performance depends on the condition of the carbon fiber."

"Such a special industry cannot be dominated by Chinese people."

"Even if the Chinese catch up, it is a difficult thing to accept."

Saganu obviously has great opinions on China.

Especially after the emergence of Nanshan Carbon Fiber, he became even more disgusted when he saw Chinese companies.

Why Toray was not so active in promoting the commercial production of T1100 before? It is because the production of T800 and its lower products has allowed Toray to make a very good living.

If you launch T1100 too early, it won't make the company make more money.

In this case, there is no need for active research and development.

Of course, now that Nanshan Carbon Fiber has developed the T1100 first, the situation is completely different.

Both Hexcel and Toray have further increased investment in research and development.

They definitely hope that they can improve their carbon fiber production technology in the shortest possible time so that their products can continue to become the world's leading products.

"We used to have a competitive relationship with Hexcel, but this time we are cooperating. I think we can appropriately ease the relationship with each other in the future and see if we can find some win-win projects."

For Japanese companies, it is a great honor to be able to cooperate with well-known American companies.

Even if they reach the level of Kondo and Sagano, they still have similar thoughts in their hearts.

"I heard that Nanshan Group also established Nanshan Chemical. If the other party threatens us by then, we can continue to consider similar plans and find an American company to cooperate with and let them promote Nanshan Chemical and other companies to be included in the sanctions On the list.”

"I will immediately arrange for someone to inquire and see if there is anything that can be done."

The two of them were in a good mood and chatting about the sanctions against Nanshan Carbon Fiber.

This matter may not be special news to ordinary people.

But for the carbon fiber industry, it is definitely big news.

Guangwei Group, which has close cooperation with Nanshan Group, is currently discussing the impact of this matter.

"Mr. Chen, our products also use Nanshan Group's technology, and the new factory was invested and built together with Nanshan Group."

"Although we can only produce T300 and T400 materials, these two relatively basic high-end carbon fibers have the highest market sales."

"This will definitely also have an impact on companies such as Japan's Toray and American Hexcel."

"Will we also be sanctioned by then?"

As the head of the sales department of Guangwei Group, Chen Qingxiang naturally has to consider the future of the company.

After all, he is also the nephew of Chen Liang, the boss of Guangwei Group.

Nanshan Carbon Fiber was sanctioned. Guangwei Group is definitely the one who has been most affected.

"It shouldn't be the case. The carbon fiber products we produce are still several levels behind Nanshan Carbon Fiber."

"Besides, the high-end products of Nanshan Carbon Fiber are not only used in special domestic industries, but are also exported to countries such as Persia for the production of military products. In this case, the reaction from the United States will naturally be greater."

"And we mainly produce fishing rods. No matter how high-end the materials used in the fishing rods are and how high the market share is, the impact on a country's overall strength is very small."

“This is a pure civilian industry that couldn’t be more pure.”

Although Chen Liang was a little worried in his heart, his face was full of confidence.

After all, the reason he said is not completely unfounded.

The United States did not take the wrong medicine and sanctioned all companies.

If there are too many such sanctions, the deterrence effect will often decrease.

"That's true. None of our products have anything to do with the military industry, and we have no plans to enter this field in the future."

"However, the way Nanshan Carbon Fiber came out of the circle this time really surprised everyone."

"From the side, it proves the power of Nanshan Group!"

"There is not only one competitive company like Nanshan Carbon Fiber within the Nanshan Group."

Chen Qingxiang is quite familiar with the situation of Nanshan Group.

The more you get to know each other, the more powerful you feel about the other person.

He even had a strange feeling for Nanshan Group in his heart.

This is a company that can give Chinese people credit.

"Actually, have you noticed that the sanctions imposed by the United States are not as severe as you thought?"

"For example, after we purchase materials from Nanshan Carbon Fiber and produce them into fishing rods, they can still be exported normally and are not included in the restricted list."

"This means that Nanshan Carbon Fiber can maintain its presence in most domestic markets, and even in some overseas markets."

"Maybe someone got a blessing in disguise and got a bigger harvest."

Chen Qingxiang naturally disagreed with Chen Liang's point of view, but he did not dare to refute it too much.

Everything needs to wait for time to prove!
