reborn industrial empire

Michelin quickly reached a consensus with Huayang Power, and Huayang Power paid 20 million euros and guaranteed that it would order no less than 300,000 tires from Michelin every year for three consecutive years.

For a tire production line with a maximum annual output of 1.5 million units and six layers of new tires, 20 million euros is almost like free money.

You must know that such a brand-new production line, and if it can achieve such a production capacity, it will cost at least nearly 200 million euros to buy it in Europe.

It can be said that such an ending is a happy one for both Michelin and Huayang Dynamics. After all, both parties got what they wanted.

You must know that if Michelin does not buy this production line, it will be dismantled, and they may not get a penny.

Now they have sold it to Huayang Power for 20 million euros. They really deserve it at all, and the most important thing is that they also got a guarantee from Huayang Power to order at least 300,000 tires from Michelin every year.

This is the highlight. You must know that Michelin tires are not cheap to buy on the market. Compared with Goodyear, Dunlop, Bridgestone and other brands with similar quality, Michelin's price is at least 100% higher than these brands.

About ten out of ten.

This is all fake, and can also be understood as brand value, so Michelin will definitely make money through this contract.

And the most important thing is that Michelin is not only the largest tire manufacturing company in the world, they are also a giant among the world's rubber manufacturers.

In Brazil, South America, the Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam and other places in Asia, Michelin has a total of 6 large-scale rubber plantations. The reason why they have become a giant in the tire world is because of this.

A one-stop production and manufacturing model of production, supply and marketing.

So they are not afraid that Huayang Power will join the tire industry to compete with them. They even want Huayang Power to join in and have fun.

Because even if Huayang Dynamic's products can compete better than Michelin's products in the market, the source of their production raw materials is still in the hands of Michelin, and their supply of rubber raw materials will still be provided by Michelin. So they simply

I am not worried about your competition, I am even eager for you to buy as much as possible.

Michelin's calculations can be said to be ringing. The reason why they were so generous this time. Jin Xiaoqiang also guessed clearly. It was nothing more than seeing the rapid momentum of Huayang Power recently. On the one hand, he wanted to have a good relationship with Huayang Power.

relationship, and on the other hand, they also hope that the tires produced by Huayang Dynamics can enter the market early, so that their rubber plantation can find another long-term and stable customer.

But what they don't know is that Jin Xiaoqiang's calculations are even better than theirs. You have to know that after next year and the year after next, Michelin will also be hit hard by the financial crisis.

They will also face the same dilemma of monetary tightening, bank loan repayment pressure, unfavorable layoffs, and product backlog. These will be enough to knock out Michelin.

If Jin Xiaoqiang remembers correctly, by the end of 2008, in order to maintain the normal operation of the company and avoid falling into a financial deficit crisis, Michelin had to sell off 4 of the 6 rubber plantations in their hands, retaining only the last one.

Two, to save the company from the crisis.

Hehe! That was the best time for me to pick up leaks. Don’t underestimate rubber. This thing is recognized as one of the most important strategic reserves in the world.

Mastering this thing is no less than mastering a large coal mine or a small oil field. The profits it can bring are endless.

Therefore, the transaction between Jin Xiaoqiang and Michelin at this time can be said to be a transaction full of intrigues and mutual calculations.

In Jin Xiaoqiang's heart, he is even more proud that as long as he masters this production line, he will soon be able to carve out his own world in the field of world tire companies, allowing Huayang Dynamics to once again be in this field.

of becoming famous.

What are the current requirements for high-quality tires in the world's tire manufacturing industry?

It's nothing more than stronger wet grip performance and better wear resistance. These are the current hard indicators for tires in the tire industry, but it won't be long before one of these hard indicators will be added. Then

It means smaller wind resistance, because lower wind resistance will reduce the car's fuel consumption.

In his previous life, Jin Xiaoqiang felt that if he remembered correctly, a Japanese tire company should have done this first.

And this company is Yokohama, which became famous in later generations for its orange oil tires!

It is said that the Japanese have always tried every means to achieve their ultimate goal in terms of fuel saving. After all, Japan is an energy-deficient country, and the world's oil prices are constantly rising, so the Japanese pay great attention to energy-saving products.

, especially in automobile manufacturing and related industries.

Speaking of Yokohama, many people may not know the name very well, but if we talk about the famous Yokohama company in the tire industry, then many people will definitely know it, and Yokohama is the owner of this Yokohama company.

Literal transliteration.

Yokohama Company has always been known as Japan's second largest tire manufacturing company together with Bridgestone, and the competition between the two parties in the market is very fierce.

Yokohama has also been paying attention to how to use tires to achieve the purpose of making cars more energy-efficient. One of their R&D leaders, Matsui Aoi (note, not Sora Aoi|), has been focusing on developing tires with smaller wind resistance and more fuel efficiency.

.

However, after several years of research, there was no progress. One weekend, he and his wife went to an orange orchard outside Tokyo to participate in a local farm party. While peeling oranges, Matsui Ao was splashed in the eye by the juice flying out of the orange peel.

The pain was unbearable for a while, but while he was crying, he also thought about what effect it would have if he added this orange oil to the tires.

He first squeezed out a lot of orange oil from the orange peel, then applied it on a plastic ruler and rubbed it back and forth. He found that the plastic ruler with orange oil had less wind resistance than the one without it, so he was determined.

To develop the confidence of orange oil tires.

But when he returned to the company, his idea was scorned by his colleagues. Everyone thought he was whimsical and a fool.

But Mr. Matsui Aoi did not give up. He persisted in completing his experiment alone, and finally came up with the finished orange oil tire in 2007, and successfully conducted the experiment.

Two cars that were stationary at a high position slid down from the high position. As a result, the car with orange oil tires slid farther than the car with ordinary tires.

Then after a series of experiments, the research and development results of Mr. Matsui Aoi were finally widely recognized and accepted. Climate Yokohama Company began to launch this orange oil tire on a large scale, and after a burst of publicity bombing, this

Orange oil tires were widely accepted and sold immediately in Japan and then around the world.

This teacher Matsui Aoi and his inspirational story became famous in one fell swoop. It was in his previous life that Jin Xiaoqiang got into Tire after seeing a reporter’s exclusive interview with this famous teacher Matsui Aoi on TV.

Industry ideas.

It is true that in my previous life, Yokohama's orange oil tires were not easily sold in the world, and they were also sold at a very high price.

Even the always proud Germans had to bow their heads in front of this tire. Later, Mercedes-Benz and BMW installed this orange oil tire produced in Yokohama on many of their new cars in 2012.

It's just that in this life, this orange oil tire is destined not to belong to Yokohama. It is destined to be a weapon for Huayang Power to become famous in the tire field.

There is another idea, which is a design from later Goodyear.

Later, after the Yokohama Company unexpectedly developed an orange oil tire and achieved great success, many tire manufacturing companies in the world began to look for suitable additives, but this time their goal was not just to focus on petroleum products.

Instead, it has spread to all things in the world.

Three years after the birth of Yokohama's orange oil tires, Goodyear researchers discovered that using soybean oil as an additive to produce tires would produce very good results.

Tires that use soybean oil as an additive can not only reduce the consumption of petroleum-based oils in the tires, but also increase the life of the tires by 10%.

And if such tires are mass-produced, at least 7 million gallons of petroleum-based oil can be reduced each year, which can greatly reduce energy losses.

Although large-scale production of such tires may waste a lot of soybean oil and is suspected of competing with the public for profit, such a production model can solidly reduce energy consumption.

And the most critical point is that if such tires were produced in China, Jin Xiaoqiang would not have to worry about soybean oil.

It is true that using soybean oil to produce tires is something that wealthy Americans can do. As for China, we are not that wealthy, but don’t forget, we produce tens of thousands of tons of gutter oil every year.

The source of most of these waste oils is soybean oil. As long as it is refined properly, maybe we can actually make soybean oil tires that are not weaker than Goodyear.

Moreover, I can also recycle gutter oil on a large scale to protect the people from the threat of this damn gutter oil. Why not kill two birds with one stone?
