Chapter 88: Invitation

“General Manager Zheng, this is your EMS express.”

Zheng Yuanhua, the general manager of Shenying New Materials Co., Ltd., received the express mail from his secretary with a puzzled expression. He could tell from the appearance that it must be some sort of documents.

Hadn’t he just attended an important industry conference? Could it be from the organizing committee?

As he thought, he had already started to tear open the package.

He took out a neatly bound document with the title “Disruptive Carbon Fiber Production Process” on the cover.

The end of the document stated: Dream Technology R&D Center.

Zheng Yuanhua curiously flipped open the cover and began to read, and what he read completely stunned him.

Is there really such a way to produce carbon fiber in the world?

You should know that the current methods of carbon fiber production basically involve using polyacrylonitrile fiber, pitch fiber, or viscose fiber, etc, which are made through oxidation and carbonization processes to produce a fiber with a carbon content of more than 90%.

However, the method in the document was completely different; it could be said to have thoroughly subverted Zheng Yuanhua’s understanding of carbon fiber production technology.

At the end of the article, it was specifically noted that the carbon fiber produced by this method could replace steel used in automobiles because its production cost was 3000 yuan per ton.

Seeing this number, Zheng Yuanhua instinctively felt it was impossible.

As the leading enterprise in domestic carbon fiber materials production, their lowest grade of carbon fiber cost more than 100,000 yuan per ton.

Further reading revealed that the inventor of the production process, Dr. Du Qiu, was now ready to license this production technology and welcomed discussions in Magic City.

Of course, what really made Zheng Yuanhua uneasy was the line, “We have sent out invitations to multiple enterprises in the domestic carbon fiber industry. If you want to beat your competitors, come to Magic City.”

Zheng Yuanhua immediately went online to search for information about Dream Technology and Du Qiu, which were all reports from around the May Day period and after.

“Such a young Dr. Du, and an electromechanical doctor at that, is so proficient and skilled in material science. Could this be a scam?

But, judging from these reports, Dr. Du is indeed a real person, and his mentor is also an academician; it doesn’t seem like a scam.”

After much contemplation, Zheng Yuanhua took the material and called for a board meeting to discuss whether to go to Magic City and understand this production process.

While Zheng Yuanhua was undecided, in faraway Ganzhou, Lin Shangfu, the chairman of Hongwei Materials, also saw the same document.

After reading it, he immediately dispatched his capable general manager, Xu Chen, to visit Magic City for inspection.

He made a requirement: once the production process was confirmed as genuine and the cost was lower than the current one, to secure the patent technology at any cost.

At the same time, in northern Jiangsu Province, Dong Xiangsheng, the chairman of Guangwei New Materials Co., Ltd., contemptuously threw the document into the trash bin after reading it.

He said, “Have scammers nowadays upgraded to this level?”

One week later.

Magic City, Dream Technology.

Du Qiu, who had just emerged from a closed investigation by the work team, sat wearily behind his office desk and asked Qin Yun, who came to report on work, “How many replies have we received from carbon fiber manufacturers?”

“Only three, two of which have an annual output of more than a thousand tons, and one less than five hundred tons.”

Qin Yun looked at Du Qiu with some concern, “Have you suffered a lot during this time?”

“Ha ha, not much. Just assisting in the investigation. Fortunately, our dealings with Huading Group and Tianqi Company have all been normal business transactions.”

Du Qiu habitually rubbed his temples with his hand. Actually, what depressed him was the wasted week during which he could not enter his dreams to learn new knowledge.

“The company has been hard work for you guys to maintain during this time. Any problems with the employees?”

Qin Yun shook her head, “No trouble. Earlier in the week, I rushed to Germany with Rein Leinar to complete the registration of the R&D center.

Upon returning, I joined Kim Zhenan in preparing to invite those manufacturers. At the company, it was Sun and Minhua managing things. They have been working harder.

According to Minhua, the staff were a bit unsettled at first, but after she and Sun held a meeting with them and explained that you were just assisting the investigation, the employees calmed down.”

“Mm, I will take the time to have a meeting with everyone to tell them that it’s all over. By the way, has the 80 million from Feiyu Technology been credited to the subsidiary?”

“Not yet. I asked Director Ning, and he said that it was delayed for two days because the board of directors’ resolution had to be approved by the ministry, but it’s been passed. The funds should arrive tomorrow. I will complete the capital verification as soon as possible.”

With these funds, the crisis of a broken capital chain can be temporarily relieved. Of course, licensing fees are still needed to completely solve the problem.

Du Qiu’s face showed a smile as he said, “Let’s continue discussing the invitation of carbon fiber manufacturers.

Which is the manufacturer with an annual output of less than 500 tons? Do they have an offshore company abroad?”

“It’s Zhijian Technology. All the companies that I sent invitation letters to have overseas companies to ensure direct foreign currency payments.”

“That’s good, three will be enough. The future carbon fiber industry will be well balanced with three major players.”
