The technological empire begins with polymer materials

Chapter 87 Battle with Kunlun! The North American League strikes hard! (2)

Robbing his hair with his hands, Gao Yuan asked everyone around him, "What do you think?"

"It's a bit troublesome."

"The situation is not optimistic."

"Now, Michelin's top models are cheaper than our low-end models. They are forcing us to start a price war."

"Let's just fight. Are we still afraid of them?"

Everyone had different opinions. Cao Feiyu shrugged his shoulders and said: "It seems that our plan to make big money on the tire project has to be slowed down. We have no choice. The other party has already made a move, so we can only respond."

"I suggest that the net profit margin of Kunlun Rolling Stone Technology be lowered to 5%. No matter what, the market share must not be lost."

"Five percent?"

"It's too low..."

Everyone is scratching their heads, but no one can come up with a good solution for the price offensive in North America.

Gao originally planned to make a fortune from the tire industry. As we all know, tires are a typical high-profit industry. If you look at Michelin's annual report, you will find that they actually have a gross profit of more than 40%.

As for why Gao Yuan wants to make a lot of money?

It's simple, because scientific research requires money, high salaries for researchers require money, and new laboratories and office buildings require money even more.

Make a lot of money, invest in R\u0026D, get high returns, pay employees high, stimulate creativity, and develop high value-added products. This is a virtuous circle. Squeezing employees for 996 a day and using intellectuals as livestock will definitely not last long.

Cao Feiyu shrugged his shoulders and said: "We are a strategic partnership system. Five percent is already a lot. The profit margins of the eight major tire groups are definitely lower than ours. If we can guarantee three percent, it is good. Unless we put Partners kick out and go to the factory themselves, otherwise we will never be able to achieve cost optimization.”

Gao Yuan shook his head, "That's not possible. History has taught us countless times that those who eat alone will not end well in the end. I will not touch the strategic partnership plan unless it is absolutely necessary."

Cao Feiyu said: "Actually, there is no need to worry too much. Fortunately, we still have the chemical fiber line, and the profit margin is high enough. If we make less money in the tire field, it will not hinder the overall situation."

Everyone nodded. Chemical fiber is the specialty of Kunlun Company. Quick-drying, warm, and stretchy, the three major fiber products are sold well all over the world. In addition, Kunlun Infinite technology has also been fully rolled out and will become the company's new profit growth point.

"I just feel disgusting." Xu Qingzhou said: "To put it bluntly, I would rather not make money myself."

Li Changxing shrugged his shoulders and said: "There is nothing surprising. Ever since they landed in North America and began to exterminate the Indians in an orderly manner, it has always been like this. The rich are allowed to live freely, and the poor are genocide."

Hahahaha~

Everyone was amused by Li Changxing's words and laughed out loud.

However, after the laughter, everyone is inevitably worried. Mr. Lu Xun once said that nation and religion are the two most serious contradictions on the earth.

Mr. Lu Xun: Get lost, this is what Liao Ser Huntington said!

"Look, isn't this the president of DuPont Group? He's actually here too."

“And Phil Knight, the boss of Nike Group!”

"What a strange combination. Why are they both here?"

"Is it really true, as the rumors say, that there is an alliance to fight Kunlun in North America?"

Regarding the fight against the Kunlun Alliance, it was revealed on the famous Reddit forum in North America a few days ago. It probably means that the North American companies headed by DuPont, which have been hit hard recently, have formed a business alliance specifically to target the Kunlun Company. .

Everyone who has money will provide money, and those who have technology will provide technology. The ultimate goal is to completely defeat the newly emerged Kunlun Company and nip it in the bud.

Considering Kunlun Company's increasingly famous academic websites and journals, Kunlun asked, this alliance claims to be fighting Kunlun, which is quite tit-for-tat.

The first person to speak was Phil Knight, the boss of Nike Group, who announced the Nike Super Sports Plan.

To put it simply, it is the decentralization of Nike's top technologies, such as carbon fiber plate propulsion technology, ZOOM air cushion cushioning technology, precise knitting stabilization technology, React foam technology, Vaporfly top marathon technology, and Max Air high-pressure technology.

In the past, Nike set a very high threshold for these technologies. For example, if you want to buy a pair of marathon shoes with Vaporfly technology, you have to spend two thousand yuan first, otherwise there is no need to negotiate.

Now, due to Kunlun's infinitely strong competitive pressure, Nike no longer cares about the tiered pricing strategy and directly stuffs all its technology into sports shoes.

The more technological content, the better, and the lower the price, the better.

"No way! The price of Super Pegasus sneakers has been directly reduced from 1,399 yuan to 399 yuan!?"

"The Max Air series of basketball shoes have also been reduced in price like crazy! The average price is only 300 yuan, and there is no need to rush to buy, and the sizes are all available!"

"My dear, you are so cruel! This is a rhythm that cuts directly to the bare feet!"

"What kind of fairy price are these? They all agreed upon it, right?"

"Awesome! Nike has become the cost-effective choice!"

The barrages went out like crazy, and people couldn't contain their enthusiasm at all.

After all, sneakers are not only functional, but also fashionable and trendy.

Take the Jordan AJ1 for example. As a pair of basketball shoes, it is completely inadequate. The ergonomic design is ridiculously poor, and the shock absorption is directly aimed at fractures.

At that time, perhaps AJ1 was still OK, but now, with the rapid development of basketball shoe technology, AJ1 is already a completely fashionable shoe that has nothing to do with sports, but it is still very expensive and in short supply.

Therefore, Nike's big price cut is still very damaging to Kunlun Infinite. After all, there is life besides sports. There are many people wearing sports shoes, but how many of them are really active?

"It's a bit cruel." Gao Yuan touched his chin and said, "This will force us to cut prices and engage in promotional wars. After tires, our profits in Kunlun Infinite will also be greatly reduced. We originally expected that Infinite technology is making a lot of money.”

Cao Feiyu said, "Tires and sports shoes are the focus of profit in our plan. If these two major technologies cannot be profitable, it would be too bad. The company's talent plan, electrical research base plan, electric vehicle research The base plan might even be postponed."

Gao Yuan didn't say anything. He was very clear about Kunlun's development goals: tires first, then batteries, and eventually forming an electric vehicle industry cluster.

Automobiles are the largest industry on earth. Any company that wants to enter this field needs to spend money, and spend a lot of money.

"I officially announce here that all chemical fiber products from DowDuPont Group and 3M Group will be sold at cost price in the future!"

"And to address the shortcomings of the previous generation of super PE, we will launch a second generation product, codenamed Pterosaur!"

"Similarly, the Pterosaur series will also be brought to the market at cost price!"

Just when Gao Yuan was thinking that the company's high-profit products were only three major chemical fibers, DuPont President Doyle suddenly announced the news that the second generation of Super PE was coming and was being sold at an extremely low price.

It is conceivable that the scientists of the DuPont Group must have worked a lot of late nights and done a lot of research to be able to improve and replace them so quickly. You know, the replacement of chemical fiber products in the past almost always took several years to prepare.

"I'll choke you! This is the rhythm of continuous critical strikes!"

"Isn't this too deliberate? You sell all the products Kunlun Company makes at cost price?"

"Fight Kunlun! Fight Kunlun!"

"Long live America! Long live the United States!"

"Even if there is no profit for three years, we must kill the damn Kunlun Company!"

"But having said that, when giants compete for hegemony, consumers will always benefit. In the future, everyone will be able to save a lot of money when buying clothes and shoes, or changing tires on cars!"

"Hahahaha~ North America is locked in a stalemate. We in India will definitely take the opportunity to overtake and become the new hegemon! After all, we have a population of 1.4 billion and a more open system..."

Well…

Suddenly something strange was mixed into the barrage, and immediately, netizens around the world began to comment in unison.

Swedish netizens: Solve your QJ case first!

North American netizens: Solve your caste discrimination first!

Japanese netizens: Let’s solve your toilet problem first!

Korean netizen: The overlord of the universe is our Smecta!
