Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 651 What kind of chemical giant is still not afraid of you?

Siemens' influence in the field of wind power equipment is not comparable to Vestas.

However, Siemens' comprehensive strength in the equipment field is definitely far superior to Vestas.

So if Siemens wants to get some information, it has many more channels than Vestas.

After Scott had a conversation with Anderson, he also wanted to know which equipment manufacturer had snatched Vestas' order.

This will certainly have some reference significance for Siemens’ future participation in bidding for other projects.

After a few phone calls, Scott quickly figured out the situation.

"what?"

"You said that Modu Electric won this order?"

"impossible!"

"Their wind turbine bearings are purchased from Nanshan Group just like ours, but the procurement cost of their blades is higher than ours."

"The most important thing is that this should be the first time they are involved in such large environmentally friendly blades, so they are not competitive."

It was obviously difficult for Anderson to accept that the order he had lost was taken away by a local manufacturer in China.

Isn't this a slap in the face?

"It is said that the cost of Modu Electric's wind power equipment is at least ten points lower than yours, and their wind power blades still use a combination of PET foam and carbon fiber."

"This kind of blade is lightweight, the material is more environmentally friendly, and it has better performance."

"That's why they were able to snatch away the order that you thought was a sure thing."

"Anderson, in China's bidding field, as long as the results are not announced, there is no certainty."

"This time, let's take it as a lesson learned."

Although Scott was not in a good mood after learning about the technological progress of Modu Electric.

But with Vestas as the unlucky guy, he felt better again.

So he can easily say some so-called comforting words.

But Anderson probably couldn't hear a single word of this comforting word.

"Scott, I heard that Siemens also plans to build a wind power equipment factory in China in the future. The market here is very worth looking forward to."

"Under this situation, the rise of China's local equipment manufacturers is definitely bad news for us."

"We need to figure out what kind of plan they adopted to steal the order from us."

Anderson felt that this time he should join forces with Siemens to find out the situation clearly.

Otherwise, life will be even more difficult in the future.

"Indeed, China's equipment manufacturers are becoming more and more difficult to deal with."

"Currently, wind power equipment is mainly oriented to China's domestic market. I'm worried that the next step will soon be oriented to the export market."

"It will definitely have a bigger impact on us by then."

"We have to find a way to change this situation."

The two brothers in distress began to communicate.

However, they did not need to do relevant investigation information, and Modu Electric began to publicize it to the outside world.

After all, after using a new generation of wind power blades and redesigning other parts, this model of wind power equipment has become the leading product of Modu Equipment in the wind power field.

As a state-owned enterprise that produces non-confidential equipment, Modu Electric will naturally not give up a good opportunity for publicity.

So soon, various equipment manufacturers also knew about the technological progress of Modu Electric's wind turbine blades.

And this change has also made more manufacturers feel a hint of threat.

……

The application of PET structural foam boards on wind power blades is definitely a cutting-edge topic in the field of wind power equipment.

At present, this material is mainly produced on a small scale by a few manufacturers such as Mitsubishi Chemical and BASF, and has not yet fully exerted its efforts.

But everyone is quite optimistic about the market for this new environmentally friendly material.

After all, the market for a single wind turbine blade is not small, not to mention that many other fields also have demand for this material.

The most important thing is that before using PET foam, most people used PVC foam, which is one of the main products of manufacturers such as BASF.

Now, according to the information promoted by Modu Electric, they have not only directly destroyed the lives of PVC foam materials from manufacturers such as BASF, but also grabbed the market for PET foam materials in the future.

BASF definitely attaches great importance to this kind of information.

"Mr. Liang, we made some inquiries and basically figured out the situation."

"Modu Electric's wind power equipment and the latest wind turbine blades are purchased from Nanshan Carbon Fiber's wind turbine blade factory."

"The PET foam material used on this blade is produced by Nanshan Chemical."

As the sales director of BASF China, Li Daxiong is very good at inquiring about information.

Based on the information officially announced by Modu Electric, he quickly used his connections to figure out the specific situation.

"Nanshan Chemical?"

"Why don't I have any impression of this company?"

As the general manager of BASF China, Liang Fuxing is considered to be in a high-ranking position, and the people he usually interacts with, whether they are from companies or government departments, are all at relatively high levels.

For a company like Nanshan Chemical that has not had any special achievements in the industry, it is normal that he has not heard of it.

After all, BASF is a global giant in the chemical industry and would look down upon ordinary material manufacturers.

"This is a subsidiary company of Nanshan Group. In the past, the main business was digested within Nanshan Group, and the scale is not very large, so it is normal that you have not heard of it, Mr. Liang."

"However, Nanshan Group is a very special entity in China. Their carbon fiber technology is at the world's leading level, breaking the monopoly of companies such as Japan's Toray and American Hexcel."

"Then they have also made extraordinary achievements in the field of special steel. The materials on high-speed rail bearings and axles are all produced by Nanshan Group. Even the production of aircraft carrier steel plates has the shadow of Nanshan Special Steel in it."

"So although Nanshan Chemical is not well-known in the industry and its scale is not very large, I think the company needs to pay full attention to it."

Li Daxiong is obviously relatively clear about all aspects of the situation.

As a Chinese, he is very aware of the influence of Nanshan Group in China.

In the past, BASF had no competitive relationship with Nanshan Group. BASF was even a secondary supplier of Nanshan Group. Some of the coatings on Xingchen Automobile were produced by BASF.

But now that Nanshan Chemical has begun to develop high-performance resin materials, Li Daxiong feels that it is necessary to pay full attention to it.

Because this market is the main market for BASF's high-end products.

Regardless of the annual sales volume, high-performance resin materials are far inferior to ordinary resin materials, but they contribute a lot of profits.

Even materials in this field don’t require you to sell them, customers will come to you on their own.

In the past, chemical giants were unwilling to produce this type of materials locally in China.

So don’t look at the fact that materials giants such as BASF and PPG have successively built factories in China in recent years.

However, the materials produced by these factories are relatively ordinary materials, and there are absolutely no high-performance materials.

"Nanshan Chemical's current scale is not large. Do you think it is possible for us to simply acquire it?"

Liang Fuxing immediately proposed a very creative plan.

As the general manager of BASF China, he is relatively familiar with some information at the headquarters.

BASF attaches great importance to PET foam.

The headquarters is currently communicating with a European manufacturer that specializes in the production of PET foam materials to discuss the acquisition.

If the Huaxia branch can acquire this material technology at a lower cost, or even use this acquisition to directly monopolize the market of high-end PET foam materials in Huaxia, it will definitely be a very impressive achievement.

Liang Fuxing's year-end bonus is expected to be much larger.

However, his calculation was very good, but Li Daxiong had no confidence at all.

"Mr. Liang, so far, no branch of Nanshan Group has been sold."

"In the past, they acquired other companies and would not sell them easily."

"Of course, it's not impossible for us to try."

Li Daxiong expressed his opinions tactfully.

He is not optimistic about this acquisition at all.

"Hasn't Lingnan Province always wanted us to build a large chemical plant there?"

"If we make good use of this information, is it possible for Lingnan Province to help us promote the acquisition of Nanshan Chemical?"

Liang Fuxing has used local resources to achieve BASF's ideas in the past.

Not only have I used it, it works very well.

Sometimes, BASF just expresses its thoughts appropriately, and the local government helps to resolve related matters.

This time, Nanshan Chemical's acquisition, he felt, wouldn't be a big problem.

After all, compared to BASF’s tens of billions of investments, the acquisition of a chemical company with no sense of existence should be nothing, right?

"If it were other companies, maybe such a solution would be feasible."

"But Nanshan Chemical is a subsidiary of Nanshan Group. It is estimated that Lingnan Province will not put pressure on the other side easily."

"Of course, it won't be a problem if you get in touch."

Li Daxiong vaguely felt that something bad might be going on, but he couldn't say too much.

After all, Liang Fuxing's proposals are all in a direction that is beneficial to the company.

He had no reason to object.

These actions of BASF China were quickly conveyed to Cao Yang.

"Mr. Cao, BASF suddenly contacted me through some means and wanted to discuss the acquisition of Nanshan Chemical with us."

"I think this is a bit strange."

"So I refused directly."

<divclass="contentadv">BASF is an industry giant. They proposed to acquire Nanshan Chemical. Lai Yuanhong must have mentioned this to Cao Yang.

Otherwise, if you make an important decision wrong, the cost of making it right later will be relatively high.

Lai Yuanhong still has this mysterious root.

“BASF moves so fast?”

"The recent achievement of Nanshan Chemical is PET foam, right?"

Although BASF is an industry giant, Nanshan Group is not small in size.

In China, Cao Yang is really not afraid of it.

Even if some of Nanshan Group’s materials are supplied by BASF, there is nothing to worry about.

Those are basically irreplaceable products.

"Yes, but the other party did not mention PET foam when communicating with me. He just said that BASF felt that after Nanshan Chemical was merged into BASF's system, the future development prospects would be broader."

"Especially since we don't have a basic chemical material production plant, we only do research and development of modified resin materials."

"With this kind of positioning, in cooperation with BASF, we can achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two."

Lai Yuanhong actually guessed that BASF’s actions were related to PET foam.

However, the person who contacted him hid it and did not reveal the truth.

It will definitely not be so easy to agree in the end.

Even BASF doesn’t want people at Nanshan Chemical to know that they value PET foam technology.

"The last time I heard Nanshan Carbon Fiber report on wind turbine blades, they mentioned that the current blade material and core material are mainly PVC foam."

"This material is imported from BASF in Germany, and the price is not cheap."

"Now that we have developed PET foam, which is more environmentally friendly and cost-effective than PVC foam, it will definitely have some adverse effects on BASF."

"Although BASF is very strong in the field of materials, not every material is involved."

"Now I want to take advantage of Nanshan Chemical to acquire it before it has grown. On the one hand, it can improve its own layout, and on the other hand, it can eliminate a potential opponent."

"Their calculations are quite good."

Cao Yang will definitely not let BASF acquire Nanshan Chemical.

What a joke!

The purpose of establishing Nanshan Chemical is to promote the localization of various special materials to avoid being stuck in the future.

Is it possible that you are eager to give your neck to someone else now?

"Next time they contact me, I won't bother to talk to them."

After figuring out Cao Yang's position, Lai Yuanhong also had an idea.

No matter how powerful you are at BASF, you have nothing to do with me.

I just ignore you!

However, soon, BASF did not give up and went around in circles to find Cao Yang.

"Mr. Cao, I heard that the provincial investment promotion department came to you to discuss BASF's acquisition of Nanshan Chemical. Are you planning to sell Nanshan Chemical?"

Liu Tianwu was also very well-informed. After a preliminary understanding, he called Cao Yang directly.

As a star company in Yangcheng, he must show his support for Nanshan Group at critical moments.

"This is true, but Nanshan Chemical is a very important link in the Nanshan Group's industrial chain and an important link in the localization of materials in the future. We have no intention of selling Nanshan Chemical."

Regardless of whether Liu Tianwu called this time to support himself or to act as a lobbyist for others, Cao Yang had no intention of compromising.

So I expressed my meaning straightforwardly.

"If you don't have any ideas in this regard, then just stick to your principles and don't have to worry too much."

"Whether it is pressure from relevant personnel in Brother City, contact from Lingnan Province, or contact from ministries and commissions, you can push back."

"Nanshan Chemical is developing well and does not need an acquisition by BASF."

Liu Tianwu was very smart and could naturally feel Cao Yang's emotional changes, so he expressed his thoughts clearly.

BASF's project is a large chemical project and is destined to be impossible to be placed in Yangcheng City.

Therefore, Liu Tianwu is not under any pressure and can stand firmly on the side of Nanshan Group.

If that large chemical project was located in Yangcheng, the situation would be different.

For example, if companies like Intel or Samsung want to invest tens of billions of yuan to build a chip factory in Yangcheng, Liu Tianwu will have to consider communicating and coordinating with their special requirements.

Even if he has a good relationship with Nanshan Group, he has to fully consider the opinions of all parties when facing a large project worth tens of billions.

Otherwise, there will be a lot of trouble.

"Thank you for the leadership's support. Our position has always been very clear."

"Nanshan Chemical has launched many projects now. Leaders, you can come and visit when you are free. Maybe Nanshan Chemical can bring unexpected surprises to the development of Yangcheng's chemical industry in the future."

When Cao Yang said this, Liu Tianwu really became interested.

Over the years, Cao Yang has succeeded in everything he wanted to do.

Even Cao Yang's bragging proved to be false.

Now he dares to say that Nanshan Chemical will bring surprises to him in the future, so there will definitely be surprises.

I have to say that confidence is built step by step.

"Then I really want to take a good look. I've basically visited all the factories of Nanshan Group, except Nanshan Chemical."

The two continued to chat for a while before ending the call.

……

"Mr. Liang, Nanshan Group has no intention of selling Nanshan Chemical, and Yangcheng City does not support us in putting pressure on Nanshan Group. How about we forget it?"

Li Daxiong knew that although BASF was very powerful in the world, its influence in China was definitely not comparable to that of Nanshan Group.

If the relationship is now tense due to the acquisition of Nanshan Chemical, and if Nanshan Group also uses its connections to help BASF, then BASF will definitely be unlucky in the end.

Li Daxiong is very sure of this.

"The key is that I have already reported this matter to the headquarters. It would be a bit difficult to stop taking action now."

Liang Fuxing now also knows that Nanshan Group is not that easy to deal with.

But it's a bit difficult to get off.

"If we continue to talk, it may be more difficult to end it. If it doesn't work, we will delay reporting to the headquarters for a while."

Li Daxiong and Liang Fuxing were still talking about the acquisition of Nanshan Chemical, but they didn't know that they were already in trouble because of this acquisition.

Cao Yang felt that he could not let go of BASF who took the initiative to provoke him, so he made an appointment with Pan Jun to talk about BASF China's intention to acquire Nanshan Chemical.

When Pan Jun said this, he immediately became furious!

Nanshan Chemical!

If people outside don't know its importance, how can he not know it?

That is the supplier of stealth materials for the new generation of stealth fighters!

Still an exclusive one!

BASF actually wants to acquire such a company?

Is it because some people already know something about China’s stealth materials?

So you want to use this action to spy on intelligence?

Or do you want to indirectly learn about stealth materials through the acquisition of Nanshan Chemical?

No matter which one it is, it is worthy of Pan Jun's attention!

"Mr. Cao, I will report this matter to the security department and let them investigate it carefully to see if there is any special reason behind it."

"Nanshan Chemical will never allow any foreign capital to get involved, and there must not be any leakage of information about our stealth materials."

Pan Jun emphasized very seriously.

As a representative, he is naturally very aware of the importance of stealth materials.

Whether a new generation fighter jet can successfully be promoted to a world-class fighter jet, stealth performance is one of the most important indicators.

This is a major event related to China's future space security.

You can never be too careful!

"Representative Pan, there is another thing that I think is a bit strange, and I may need to report it to you."

Cao Yang is not such a generous person.

In the past few days, some people have called Lai Yuanhong, and some have called himself.

It can be said that BASF has made a lot of connections.

Although they were all rejected in the end, they did not necessarily dare to embarrass the Nanshan Group openly.

But to scare the monkeys, Cao Yang felt that these hands extending their claws towards the Nanshan Group should be chopped off.

Nanshan Group is now a super fat piece of meat, and some people must be tempted to take a bite.

In this case, it is necessary to let more people know that if you stretch out your hand, you will be cut down.

Cao Yang will arrange the development of some military products, to a certain extent, to make Nanshan Group more special in order to deal with some special problems.

After all, when it comes to military products, any change in shares is definitely more sensitive.

Some people who want to take action will have more scruples in their hearts.

"Mr. Cao, is there anything else going on?"

When Pan Jun saw Cao Yang's look, he immediately became vigilant.

Something is going to happen.

"During this period, many people called me in order to persuade us to agree to sell Nanshan Chemical to BASF."

"I don't quite understand why those people want Nanshan Chemical to become a subsidiary of BASF. Is it because BASF is a foreign-invested enterprise?"

"Nanshan Group's companies attach great importance to technology research and development and have some core technologies in their hands. Many people know this."

"But in this case, they still made the call. I think you may need to pay attention to the purpose behind this."

Cao Yang said that those who contribute to BASF, whether it is for official or private matters, will definitely be in trouble.

Although doing this may offend some people, is there anything you can do without offending others?

Unless Cao Yang is willing to give up the Nanshan Group, he will definitely continue to offend people!
