Chapter 605
The Chinese people are very happy.
When I heard Chris Topher say:
“Longguo is the only country with a complete industrial system.”
“As long as the people of Longguo master the core technology, they will have the ability to independently build a complete industrial chain of lithography machines.”
Joshua Parker, a senior executive of Qualcomm, was slightly stunned, and nodded helplessly after a long time.
He had to admit that Longguo’s industrialization system was too powerful.
As long as the technology could be mastered, Longguo could really make anything.
And the greatest power of the full industrialization system is not that everything can be made.
But everything can be made at a bargain price, which is crazy to crush foreign counterparts.
A few years ago…
Joshua Parker, during his tenure as general manager of the Longguo region.
In Longguo, a strange wind blew from nowhere.
Almost everyone has heard this rumor:
“Longguo people really can’t make ballpoint pen nibs!”
“Making ballpoint pen nibs is harder than making mushroom bullets!”
“Longguo, a great country, actually has to rely on imported refills!”
Because of this incident, Longguo was ridiculed by foreign media for its poor manufacturing level and its inability to even make a small ballpoint pen.
As the rumor intensified, the “Dialogue” column of Yangshi Finance Channel in 2017 directly asked many steel practitioners:
“Why can’t Longguo, a great country, even make a ballpoint pen nib steel?”
As soon as this program came out, the heat of public opinion was directly pushed to the peak.
When hundreds of domestic steel giants learned about this incident.
They are just so confused that they are completely confused.
There are so many steel mills in Longguo, why don’t they make ballpoint pen nibs?
The main reason is that they really don’t care about this little piece of meat on the mosquito’s leg, which is not enough to fill the gap between teeth.
How heavy can a ballpoint pen be?
At most, 10 mg!
Assume that each Longguo citizen uses an average of 10 ballpoint pens a year.
But in fact, except for students and clerical workers.
Many Longguo citizens will not hold a pen twice a year except when signing.
Let’s calculate the maximum, 1.4 billion Longguo citizens use 14 billion pens every year.
A pen nib uses 10 mg of steel.
14 billion ballpoint pens only need 0.14 tons of pen nib steel.
You know!
One of the many steel mills in Longguo: Baosteel Group in Shanghai, has an annual output of 117 million tons!
On average, the daily steel output is 320,000 tons! The hourly output is 13,300 tons!
And the smallest boiler of Baosteel Group is 60 tons!
This boiler…
The nib steel produced is enough for Longguo to use for 428.9 years!
The key is to refine the ballpoint pen refill, and a new equipment production line has to be rebuilt.
The nib steel produced by the boiler for a week can’t be used up in the world for decades.
Who will sell the seriously overcapacity piled in the warehouse?
The newly opened equipment production line will be dismantled again?
With this calculation…
It’s a total loss-making business, it’s better to import from foreign countries.
But this matter mocked Longguo and said that Longguo people can’t make ballpoint pen tips.
After the titanium steel group in Jin Province knew about it.
Everyone was so angry at that time!
The leader slammed the table and searched through boxes and cabinets overnight to find the smallest boiler.
Then it took only 45 minutes for Titanium Steel to produce 60 tons of pen tip steel.
Moreover, the pen tips produced by Titanium Steel Group passed various extreme tests at different angles.
Each pen refill can continuously draw an 800-meter straight line.
At that time, this batch of pen tip steel, whether in terms of water uniformity or wear resistance, reached the world’s top technological level.
But this boiler of Titanium Steel directly bankrupted two of the three major ballpoint pen manufacturers in the world.
One of them is a century-old store in Europe.
Why?
Let’s put it this way.
This furnace of Titanium Steel directly made a ballpoint pen that cost one or two yuan at the time.
become 9.9 yuan online with free shipping, and 30 ballpoint pens also get 20 refills.
Because the smallest boiler of Titanium Steel Group is 60 tons.
However, as a country with a large population, Longguo can only consume 0.14 tons of pen tip steel per year.
60 tons of pen tip steel is enough for the whole world to use for 30 years.
So,
The titanium steel group that was dumped there took up space.
Directly dealt with the 60 tons of pen tip steel at the “scrap price”.
But the international pen tip steel market price, after being mixed up like this, instantly ushered in a bloodbath!
The pen tip steel supplier of Xiaodongyang directly reduced the price from 120,000 per ton to 90,000 per ton.
The pen tip steel supplier of the watch country also immediately reduced the price to about 80,000 yuan.
But even so, they still couldn’t survive the titanium steel boiler.
Not long after…
The pen tip steel steel mills in the watch country and Dongyang were collectively sent away by the titanium steel boiler.
Ballpoint pen manufacturers in various countries around the world also went bankrupt by 80% to 90%.
An angry company in the watch country directly sued titanium steel to the WTO World Trade Organization.
Accused the titanium steel group of bullying the weak and deliberately using “dumping” to destroy trade competition.
Titanium Steel did not win the lawsuit, because it sold the products at scrap prices, which was indeed considered intentional “dumping”.
Because of this incident, Titanium Steel Group, which was too impulsive, not only did not make money, but also had to pay compensation and be punished.
Many domestic steel mills have also used this incident to make fun of Titanium Steel for several years.
It is said that in order to shut up the haters, Titanium Steel used the Bagua furnace to stew old hens, but in the end it got nothing.
But it is precisely because of this thankless and obviously unprofitable thing.
But it has made many foreign companies remember, and no one dares to show off blindly.
Especially many leading foreign companies in niche market segments, one by one, were frightened by this incident and their mentality collapsed.
Almost at the same time, they severely warned their marketing departments to strictly prohibit exaggerating technology propaganda in front of Longguo.
Some time ago…
I don’t know where a wave of evil wind blew from.
What… Longguo’s high-speed rail is very powerful.
However, Longguo High-speed Railway Group is still importing anti-loosening nuts from Dongyang.
Because conventional nuts will loosen when they are vibrated.
And the speed of high-speed railways and trains is very fast, and the resonance generated will be very large.
Even if they are tightened, they will gradually loosen in a short time.
At the least, it will cause the rails to loosen and deform, and at the worst, it may cause the train to derail!
But Dongyang has produced a very high-precision nut: Hardlock nut.
This nut will not loosen no matter how strong the vibration is, and is known as a nut that never loosens!
Even if the drawings and principles are told to Longguo, Longguo cannot imitate it.
For this reason, Longguo High-speed Railway has to spend a lot of money every year to import special nuts from Xiao Dongyang Company.
If Xiao Dongyang stops supplying this nut, all high-speed railways in Longguo will have to stop construction!
