Although the high-performance carbon-carbon composite materials produced by Factory 703 are kept secret at this time, they are basically nowhere to be seen except for use in YF-100 engines and WS-10 engines.
But there are still many smart people in the world. In the eyes of caring people, the annual shipment volume of Factory 703 is seriously inconsistent with its production capacity.
So after testing in many ways, Yingjiang's spies can basically confirm that the carbon fiber materials produced by Factory 703 definitely have other uses.
While the new factory building in Shonan of Factory 703 was still under construction working overtime in the dark.
On the other side of the ocean, it was still broad daylight.
In a glass-walled skyscraper on the west coast, there is a president's office with an area of more than 120 square meters.
Little Willie, who had just taken over as president of the group, was wearing a handmade suit and frowned as he looked at the report in his hand.
"Christine, how come our sales dropped so much last year?"
Little Willy's original group was able to sell more than 1 billion US dollars in materials every year, of which carbon fiber materials accounted for the majority, accounting for more than 50%.
However, the group's carbon fiber material sales fell by more than 50% last year.
This is obviously an abnormal phenomenon. When there is no obvious fluctuation in market demand, this must be the emergence of strong competitors in the market.
"Last year, Laura and Safran, which originally ordered from us every year, reduced their purchases from us. Safran did not even import even one kilogram of materials from us!"
The tall, long-legged female secretary with a bulging front and back is obviously not just a vase, but also has a clear understanding of the problems the company is currently facing.
"Do you know where they found the new supplier?" Little Willy frowned, closed the folder in front of him, and glanced out the window.
"The news we have learned from China and Gaul so far seems that they are now importing carbon fiber materials from Snecma."
"Snecma Corporation?"
Little Willie muttered something to himself.
In his previous impression, this seemed to be a spacecraft manufacturing company?
When did they switch to carbon fiber?
"This company has been responsible for manufacturing rockets for the European Space Agency. Last year, for some reason, it suddenly started exporting carbon fiber materials!"
At this time, the secretary also gave out the information he had collected about Snecma Company.
Hearing this key node last year, Little Willie seemed to have captured some information.
"When did they start selling carbon fiber last year?" Little Willy asked quickly.
"In July, but their shipments at that time were still very small." The secretary quickly opened the folder in his hand and replied.
"In other words, they must have found a supplier in May or June!"
Little Willie felt that he had found the key to the problem.
"Have you investigated what companies they had contact with at that time?"
There is very little information in this area. After all, this kind of thing is difficult to investigate if it is not a listed company.
"In May and June, apart from Safran, which they have been doing business with, they only had contact with one Longguo factory!"
"A factory in Dragon Kingdom?"
The answer given by the secretary made little Willy feel that his thinking had gone into a misunderstanding.
After all, internationally, Longguo's material manufacturing industry is not very developed, especially in some relatively high-end material manufacturing fields.
Although in recent years, carbon fiber materials are no longer as heavy as the same weight of gold as before.
But it is not possible for the Dragon Kingdom, whose industry is not yet very developed at this time, to carry out mass production.
"Apart from this Longguo factory, has Snecma not had any contact with other companies?"
Little Willie, who was unwilling to give up, couldn't help but ask.
"No more, only this factory!"
The secretary shook his head and gave a somewhat unacceptable answer.
"So, they got low-cost carbon fiber from this factory in Dragon Country?"
When Little Willy said this himself, he felt a little unbelievable.
"Have you ever inquired about the details of this company?"
"We haven't learned very detailed information. We only know that this company seems to have a lot of national background behind it."
"Our staff in Longguo once specifically went to explore the location of this factory, but they were unable to get in."
These were all investigations that had been completed before Little Willy took office.
However, this information, which seemed useful but actually had no specific content, only made little Willy feel that the matter was deeply complicated.
"However, the materials we collected from other sources show that this factory was on the verge of bankruptcy before last year, but miraculously survived after July last year and generated a lot of profits."
“Now they are planning to build a newer industrial plant.”
Although the employees at that time were not able to enter the interior of Factory 703, a lot of useful information was obtained from discussions about Factory 703 on the streets of Shonan.
"That is to say, it is very likely that this small and unknown factory took away the order that originally belonged to us!"
By this time, Little Willy had also reacted.
This matter, both in terms of time and contact between the two parties, is too coincidental.
A factory that was about to go bankrupt suddenly had money, and Snecma suddenly started a materials business that was not originally part of their business scope.
It is really hard to believe that there is something fishy here.
"How is it possible, how can a small factory in the Dragon Kingdom surpass us in cost and performance!"
At this time, the secretary still couldn't believe the conclusion reached by his president.
"Besides this possibility, can you come up with any other reasonable explanation?!"
After Little Willy found out who had snatched the order that originally belonged to the group, he became a little vicious.
Then he picked up the phone and dialed a phone number he was very familiar with:
"Uncle Jimin, our group has encountered malicious competition from a Dragon Kingdom company!"
Jimin opposite, obviously this was not the first time he had received such a call.
"What makes our little Willy so angry?"
In the next period of time, Little Willy elaborated on his guess and told it to Jimin.
"What do you want us to do?" Jimin asked little Willie's opinion on this matter.
Little Willie looked very ugly to others and said fiercely:
"I want you to ban their existence internationally!"
"Such awesomeness is not allowed to exist on this planet!"
