If You Can't Solve X Fiber, Solve Its Holder!

North America.

DuPont Group Headquarters.

In the strategy meeting room, President Doyle had not yet arrived, and the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.

"Actually, the Japanese are in a much worse situation than us. The emergence of X2 thermal fiber has hit the Japanese chemical fiber groups the hardest. Companies like Asahi Kasei, Mitsubishi Chemical, and Toray are all major players in the thermal fiber field."

"That may be true, but it's still upsetting. Thinsulate, which we developed in partnership with 3M, had the potential to challenge the Japanese chemical fiber groups. But with the Chinese interfering, all our contingency plans are ruined."

"Damn those Chinese! They completely changed the landscape of the apparel chemical fiber sector overnight. We're facing losses of hundreds of millions of dollars, and Japan will lose at least ten times that! It's all the fault of those Chinese!"

The group's executives and strategists were in an uproar, all pointing fingers across the Pacific. They gloated over Japan's losses and gnashed their teeth at China's sudden rise, their words filled with extreme hatred and malice.

"Mr. President!"

At this moment, Doyle finally arrived, looking grim. He had been questioned by several major shareholders.

"This special meeting is to discuss how to deal with the new challenge from China. Does anyone have any suggestions? You may speak now," Doyle said directly.

The attendees looked at each other. Someone suggested strengthening research and development, while another proposed lowering prices and costs. Even though their product performance couldn't match Kunlun Company's X series, they could use low prices to compete.

After all, Kunlun Company was very small and had limited funds. If they could exert pressure through pricing and force the Chinese into financial difficulties, then perhaps Gao Yuan would be forced to sell his patent rights.

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the company's executives gleamed with greed. The performance of X fiber was unprecedentedly powerful.

Any company that obtained this patent would undoubtedly possess a strategic nuclear weapon to sweep the globe, delivering a devastating blow to competitors and completely changing the industry landscape.

"It's precisely because Kunlun Company is still weak now that this plan has a chance of success," said a senior staff member of DuPont Group. "If this were next year or the year after, and Kunlun Company had already accumulated enough profits from X Fiber, it would be much harder for us to force them out through capital power."

At this point, another executive said, "Please don't forget, Kunlun Company's difficulties are not just financial. They also face production challenges."

"Based on current market feedback, the X series fiber undoubtedly has a broad prospect. However, Kunlun Company itself does not have the production capacity. Chaoda Chemical Fiber, which is manufacturing the fiber products for them, is a private enterprise with far from substantial strength."

"Undoubtedly, even with all its efforts, Chaoda Company cannot meet such a large market demand. And if they were to find a second contract manufacturer, first, the manufacturer would need to have idle capacity, and second, they would need to undergo specialized technical modifications, which is not something that can be achieved overnight."

"In conclusion, in my judgment, despite the excellence of X2 thermal fiber, it will face severe production capacity shortages before next year."

"In other words, Kunlun Company is currently under dual pressure of capital and production capacity, making it the best time for us to strike and crush them!"

After hearing this, everyone nodded, realizing the hidden worries behind Kunlun Company's success. After all, compared to the giant corporations, Gao Yuan undoubtedly lacked a foundation. Even the startup capital for the X Fiber project was obtained through bank loans.

President Doyle was about to say something to bring the meeting to a close.

Just then, a blonde secretary approached him and whispered a few words in his ear.

Doyle was first slightly taken aback, then a strange smile appeared on his face. "They're really impatient. The latest news is that our Japanese counterparts made their move a few hours ago."

"Mitsubishi Chemical, Toyobo, Toray, Asahi Kasei, Fujibo, Unichika..." Doyle recited a long list of major Japanese chemical fiber companies, then shrugged. "They have simultaneously lowered the price of their thermal fiber products to one thousand US dollars per ton, intending to use low-price dumping to kill the yet-to-be-released X2 thermal fiber."

Instantly, the conference room erupted in gasps. A price of one thousand US dollars per ton was absolutely insane, approaching or even falling below each company's production cost.

Before this, the general selling price of thermal fiber from these companies was around five thousand US dollars. This price reduction of a staggering eighty percent was a significant sacrifice.

"As expected, the weakness of Kunlun Company was not only seen by us, but the cunning Japanese also discovered it."

"The only question now is, what do we do?"

President Doyle frowned and pondered for a moment, then his brow unfurled. "Regardless, let's deal with this industry disruptor first. Even if Kunlun Company's patent technology doesn't end up in our hands, it's better than having to kowtow to a bunch of Chinese."

Everyone nodded in agreement with the president's judgment.

As different ideologies and civilizations, it is difficult for the East and West to coexist.

Since they couldn't solve the X series fiber, they would solve the holder of the X series fiber!

"Notify the sales department to immediately formulate a new price list and keep it consistent with our Japanese counterparts!" President Doyle said sternly.

Early in the morning, news spread across China's largest materials forum: major global thermal fiber suppliers from Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea had suddenly drastically reduced prices for promotions, with unprecedented force.

"Can you believe it? Toray, Asahi Kasei, 3M, these giants have cut the ex-factory price of thermal fiber by eighty percent! The wholesale price of most products on the market is now close to a thousand US dollars!"

"This is madness! This is the most aggressive promotion I've seen in my twenty years in the industry!"

"To hell with it, is this a promotion? It's clearly low-price dumping, aimed at squeezing Kunlun Company out in one go!"

"I have to say, these first-tier manufacturers have ruthless methods. Although their product performance doesn't match the X series, their prices are low, and supply is guaranteed."

"This is clearly targeting Kunlun Company's weakness. As a newly emerging small factory, Kunlun's production capacity is worrying. Although their X2 thermal fiber is powerful, it's not yet available on the market."

"Downstream manufacturers can't wait that long. Major clothing factories are eager to launch their new autumn and winter collections. Since X2 thermal fiber hasn't been mass-produced yet, and the Japanese giants have proactively lowered their supply prices, if I were a downstream manufacturer, I would definitely choose to cooperate with the Japanese this winter. We can switch to the X series fiber next year when Kunlun Company smooths out its production and increases its output."

"The previous post is correct. I'm from a downstream manufacturer. Toray Group personally called us just now to inform us about the price reduction promotion. Our boss has already decided to use Japanese products this winter, and we've already placed our orders."

"It's not that we don't want to use Kunlun Company's products, but unfortunately, their scale is too small, and even their supply is problematic, which is completely incomparable to global giants."

"The key is still the price. The low prices of Japanese and European/American goods, equivalent to a twenty percent discount, who can resist such a huge temptation?"

By less than ten o'clock in the morning, the forum was in an uproar.

But despite the arguments, industry insiders unanimously agreed that the danger was imminent.

The actions of the major manufacturers from Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea were clearly aimed at crushing the nascent Kunlun Company.
