Eagle Country King Material's Actions

Looking at this test report, Wang Yanfeng felt an immense sense of panic. His heart pounded erratically, his hands and feet went soft, and he could no longer even control his body.

A complex mix of disbelief, fear, dread, confusion, and other negative emotions churned in his mind. His voice was almost a groan, trembling with emotion.

When Wang Yanfeng first learned that Oupai and Zhong Wei were replacing their polymer optical film with FY-01, he only felt a slight threat. He didn't believe that FY-01 could truly replace their polymer optical film; this was a technical confidence built over a long time. But at this moment, this report shattered his ingrained perception. He had never expected that FY-01, this newly released material, would actually comprehensively surpass their polymer optical film.

Almost instantly, Wang Yanfeng decided to impose the most resolute sanctions on FY-01 and Fei Yang Optics!

"If Fei Yang Optics doesn't die, it will be our turn to die!"

Wang Yanfeng immediately knew that if they didn't react now, King Material would have no future to speak of.

Although deep down he knew that King Material could actually still survive, it was he, the domestic general manager, who truly had no future to speak of.

But he didn't mind exaggerating the consequences.

"Ah, xi ba!"

"Baga!"

The people from Tian Le Material and Tian Feng Chemical exchanged glances, seeing the same solemnity in each other's eyes. They both cursed inwardly in their respective national languages.

They didn't react as strongly as Wang Yanfeng because Tian Le Material and Tian Feng Chemical were not the primary targets of Fei Yang New Material's impact. If they lowered their prices, they could still survive, albeit with significantly lower profits.

Of course, they also had to admit that they still needed to take action at this time.

Companies accustomed to high profits absolutely could not tolerate lowering them, because employee wages, benefits, and equipment costs dictated that they must have high profits, otherwise they couldn't sustain themselves.

Thus, when Wang Yanfeng asked the two companies for countermeasures, they both unanimously proposed one solution.

"Start a price war first!"

This move had been tried and tested repeatedly.

When many products could not yet be produced domestically, they were sold at high prices to the domestic market. However, when domestic production became possible or nearly possible, they would resort to price wars to force domestic companies out of business, thereby gaining a monopoly on that product, and finally raising prices back up to continue earning high profits.

Hearing this proposal, Wang Yanfeng hesitated slightly.

But after thinking for a long time, with many thoughts swirling in his mind, Wang Yanfeng reluctantly agreed to the plan. However, he finally said, "This is a big matter, let's discuss it further."

After the people from Tian Le and Tian Feng Chemical left, Wang Yanfeng turned around and threw the final decision-making power for this matter to the King Material Company headquarters far away in Eagle Country.

In fact, Wang Yanfeng had thought of a sanction plan, but after considering it, he decided not to mention it. He considered that he was still a domestic person, and if he proposed this plan, it might be exposed by someone in the future, and then he wouldn't be able to survive domestically. He would definitely be cursed like a dog by his countrymen and his reputation would be ruined.

Eagle Country, King Material Company Headquarters.

"What the fuck?"

As the CEO and Executive Vice President of King Material, and also a director of King Material Company, Michael Roman, with an annual salary of over eighteen million US dollars and a net worth of hundreds of millions of US dollars, couldn't help but curse in his Eagle Country national language when he received Wang Yanfeng's email in the morning.

Michael Roman was sixty years old this year, still in his prime.

Well, the president was in his seventies or eighties, so a sixty-year-old was still a young man.

Michael Roman found it somewhat difficult to understand. Had Wang Yanfeng's brain been flooded? Sending him such a bizarre email, was today April Fool's Day?

It wasn't until Wang Yanfeng called him again and explained in detail that he understood and confirmed that Wang Yanfeng's brain had not been flooded. A truly powerful challenger had indeed appeared in the Eastern domestic market!

After ending the call, Michael Roman couldn't help but fall into a brief silence. He needed to take a moment to let his emotions settle and to let his perceptions shift to align with the facts.

After sorting out his thoughts, Michael Roman immediately summoned two other directors of the company. One was Kevin Rhodes, the company's Senior Vice President and Deputy General Counsel, who was also the President and Chief Intellectual Property Counsel of King Material Company's Intellectual Property Consulting. The other was Susan Krier, the company's Vice President and Head of Global Business Solutions.

"Kevin, I need you to investigate the patent issues of this Fei Yang Optics."

"Susan, evaluate the plan to acquire this company."

Michael Roman said concisely, "I need a plan before the end of the day."

He had great trust in Kevin Rhodes' professional ability.

Before joining King Material Company, Susan Krier held various leadership positions at the world's largest integrated payment company and had led multiple acquisitions, making her highly experienced.

"Alright!"

With the leader's instructions, the two naturally handled it immediately.

Kevin Rhodes finished the fastest, but his results greatly displeased Michael Roman because he discovered that Fei Yang Optics' FY-01 material had obtained a patent in Hua Xia a month ago, but he had never heard any information about it from the people at the Hua Xia domestic branch.

Michael Roman was instantly dissatisfied with Wang Yanfeng's business capabilities.

Susan Krier's plan was also completed and submitted to him before the end of the day, but the result was equally unsatisfactory.

Hua Long, Zhong Wei, Qian Jia, and Di Guang are all Hua Xia companies listed in Xiang Jiang. Hua Long and Zhong Wei are companies with market values exceeding one hundred billion; Qian Jia and Di Guang are slightly weaker, but they also have market values exceeding ten billion, which translates to over one billion US dollars. They are not small fry.

King Material's own market value of several tens of billions of US dollars is indeed more than the four combined, but market value is market value. It's impossible for one company to buy all four.

Hua Xia would not allow it either!

Susan Krier expressed her opinion: "Hua Long and Zhong Wei will not allow Fei Yang Optics to be acquired by us, and with the support of Hua Long and Zhong Wei, Fei Yang Optics will not be easily moved by our offer. The cost is too high! Our King Material Company is not just about optical materials; it's only a small part."

Michael Roman certainly knew this.

One hundred and twenty years ago, five young people founded King Material Company. At that time, Hua Xia was still a chaotic dynasty that had to be accompanied no matter how far away. They had already begun various material research and development work.

To this day, King Material has developed over sixty thousand products, with an average of over five hundred practical, reliable, and advanced new products introduced each year, penetrating every corner of society: industry, chemical engineering, electronics, electrical engineering, communications, automobiles, aviation, medical care, and so on. It has been statistically reported that half of the world's population directly or indirectly uses King Material's products every day.

Among the world's top 500 brands, King Material has consistently ranked in the top fifty!

Losing the market for one product might not seem to have a significant impact, but if such an advantageous product is easily abandoned, the company's revenue and profit will not look good, and the directors and shareholders' complaints will drown him.

Since there was no patent stick and acquisition seemed difficult to achieve easily, Michael Roman immediately made a decision. He said, "Susan, please contact Fei Yang New Material directly. The patent is in the hands of this young man. We can see if he has any ideas. I will arrange for the other parts."

"Okay, I will contact him personally."

Susan Krier glanced at the photo of the young man named Zhou Feiyu in the material in her hand.

After she left, Michael Roman immediately called Tian Feng Zhangnan, the chairman of Tian Feng Chemical: "Mr. Tian Feng, I think it is necessary for us to discuss the sales of PI Film in the mainland Hua Xia market..."
