Chapter 111: Repercussions
"Mr. Zhou, there is a show tonight? OK, I promise to arrive."
"well."
"Then chat tonight!"
"Prepare to drink well, find a few more beautiful ones!"
Liu Donghui hung up the phone and got out of the car with a relaxed and confident smile.
As the boss of Dakawa Seiko, he has long been accustomed to these workplace social engagements. He signs documents at the company every day, holds small meetings when he has something to do, and occasionally goes on a trip and play, which is called business trips. The rest of his time is to go out to discuss business and go to the club to play.
The lobby of Dakawa Seiko Company is decorated with some company products, so that customers who come to visit can see some of their company's excellent products.
"Mr. Liu, a news came from the Shenbing Company." As soon as he arrived at the company office, the secretary came in with the documents and said hurriedly.
"Shenbing Company? News?"
Liu Donghui thought about it and remembered the "Sheng Soldier Company" mentioned by his secretary.
Shenbing Company is a rookie in the domestic technology industry and a company that has been in the limelight recently.
There are rumors outside that Shenbing Company's background is not simple, but no one knows the specific one.
They have cooperated with Shenbing Company to help them process some robot parts. Some time ago, North America issued a sanction order, and any company that processes parts for Shenbing Company robots will be sanctioned.
The vast majority of the market for Dakawa Seiko is in China. Even if they choose to continue to cooperate with Shenbing Company, this sanction order has no impact on Dakawa Seiko.
But Liu Donghui chose to interrupt the business of Heshenbing Company.
His wife and children have long immigrated to North America and are now living in North America. He has real estate and deposits there. If he is sanctioned, he will suffer huge losses.
So even if he did not have much impact on the company, he also found reasons to interrupt his cooperation with Shenbing Company.
The business staff of Shenbing Company do not know how to do things. They don’t talk about daily social engagements, and they are rigid in business negotiations. They don’t drink or play in clubs. It’s boring to get in touch with them, only contracts and orders.
Originally, he thought that Shenbing Company could not resist North American sanctions and might disintegrate or be acquired by a large company.
After all, no matter how powerful a startup is, it will not end up in a shameless blockade of a world power.
He left all this behind, but now the secretary mentioned the company again.
"What's wrong with Shenbing Company? Has it been acquired?" Liu Donghui asked casually.
"No, industry insiders just heard news that the dust equipment of Shenbing Company's subsidiary has broken through 3D printing technology and can use most of the materials on the market as printing materials, with an accuracy of 9 microns. They announced that they can break through North America's sanctions order and can independently produce the precision parts needed by the company."
"Not affected?"
Liu Donghui showed surprise and immediately noticed the words in front of the secretary.
"3D printers? 9 micron accuracy? Can print most of the materials?"
Liu Donghui narrowed his eyes.
As a manager of precision machinery for many years, knowing what this information means.
Their industry has been developing the development of 3D printing technology.
Unexpectedly, it is now broken through by a subsidiary of a startup company?
The impact may not be obvious on ordinary people, but it is a major event like change for precision manufacturing and parts factories.
The concerns on Liu Donghui's face became increasingly obvious.
If new technologies come out, if they can't keep up, they will be eliminated by the market in a few years.
Manufacturing is so cruel.
He thought about the fact that they had interrupted their cooperation with Shenbing Company before, and he didn't know if Shenbing Company would retaliate against them.
"Manager Hong, how are you doing recently?"
When Liu Donghui dialed the phone, he sorted out his emotions and asked with a smile.
"I can't die, what's wrong? Mr. Liu, you are a busy man, why do you have time to call me?"
The tone on the other end of the phone was not good.
As a subsidiary acquired by Shenbing Company, Weichen Equipment was sanctioned by North America, so they were naturally caught.
Weichen Equipment also had some business contacts with Dakawa Seiko. After being sanctioned, Dakawa Seiko suddenly found a bad reason to interrupt the cooperation.
As the manager of Weidu Equipment, Hong Ming felt very unhappy.
Later, I wanted to contact Liu Donghui to ask why, but he refused to meet him because he was busy on a business trip.
Hearing Hong Ming's tone of displeasure, Liu Donghui pretended not to understand.
"I heard that your company has a new 3D printer?"
"Yes, if you have something to do, I'm very busy." Hong Ming said coldly.
"This is the equipment our company needs. Can you let me see your machine? If it works, let's order a few."
"I'm afraid I can't order for the time being. There are many in the head office. Other companies are consulting for orders. If you want to order, you have to queue up. As for when it will be available, I don't know."
Doudou...
A busy voice made Liu Donghui look gloomy. He realized that the sequelae of the last interruption of cooperation was coming.
I'm afraid he is not the only one who is facing such an embarrassing situation.
...
"Shenbing Company wants to break through lithography machine technology? What kind of company is this? Why is it a little familiar?" Winniko put down the coffee in his hand and asked the assistant beside him in confusion.
He didn't finish his breakfast, so he gave him such a message.
"The startup company that North America sanctioned not long ago, the one who made robots." Fixing said.
"I remembered it." Winniko suddenly realized.
This incident is quite popular in the technology circle, and he has read the reports.
At that time, he was still wondering why North America had made such a big move against a startup company. It was not until the robot captured drug dealers alive that he realized the cleverness of that kind of robot.
Unexpectedly, in such a short time, it broke through 3D printing technology and announced that its next goal was to break through lithography machine technology.
Now it seems that this company can be sanctioned, which is really something.
But it's just something.
Although he was afraid that the Orientals would break through the lithography machine technology, the technology was not so easy to succeed.
"Do we want to get in touch with them?" the assistant asked.
"No, lithography machines are not that easy to break through."
Winniko chuckled softly, not taking it seriously.
"For decades, Oriental people have wanted to develop technology. A startup wants to create it? Isn't that a joke in North America's lockdown over the years? They just scared us and wanted us to sell lithography machines to them. I also want to sell them, but North America doesn't allow it, so there is nothing we can do."
"Okay." The assistant nodded.
...
Kama was browsing the message her assistant gave her with a dark face.
She was on vacation, but in the middle of the night, her assistant suddenly sent her an email about Shenbing Company.
Shenbing Company has made breakthroughs in high-precision 3D printer technology, but it is still multi-material.
She doesn't understand technology, but the assistant asked the technicians to write in detail the advantages, uses and impacts of this technology.
In general, the technology is very powerful, and it will bring huge changes to the precision manufacturing industry. Another thing is that Shenbing Company can break the impact of their previous sanctions orders through its newly developed 3D printers and realize the self-production and use of precision parts.
"President Kama, there is another problem." The assistant who was on the video call interrupted her.
"explain."
"Shenbing Company also announced that the next technology to be breakthrough is a lithography machine," the assistant said.
"Lithography machine?"
Kama looked gloomy.
Once the lithography machine breaks through, it means that in terms of cutting-edge technology, they suppress the loss of the last card of the Eastern power, and the opponent will get a trump card.
"What is this magic weapon company so powerful?" Kama said with a dark face while talking on the video call with his assistant.
"I asked William, and he said that in the reality of intelligence, there is an artificial intelligence-assisted R&D platform within Shenbing Company, which is very powerful and can greatly shorten the R&D time. They have made breakthroughs in many small technical fields using this artificial intelligence technology," said the assistant.
"AI?"
"right."
"What's going on with William?"
"William has sent people to the East, but it is said that the progress is not going well," said the assistant.
"If you succeed, besides robotics, the artificial intelligence technology will come back, so don't miss the opportunity." Kama said coldly.
...
Shenbing Company has broken through 3D printing technology and successfully developed a multi-material 3D printer. At the same time, it announced that the next technology to be breakthrough is lithography machine technology.
As soon as the news came out, it caused a shock in the global manufacturing industry.
Less than two hours after the news came out, Shenbing Company received consultation calls from more than 30 precision parts manufacturing companies.
In the field of precision manufacturing, there are some expensive materials processing, which are very expensive. Traditional machine tools use subtraction processing, and the material consumption is extremely high. If the cost of expensive materials can be suppressed, the company's profits will soar.
Traditional 3D printing technology currently prints some conventional plastic, ceramic and resin materials.
