Late one night in late October, Xu Qingzhou suddenly brought the good news that X Fiber was a global hit.
Opening the video comment section, tens of thousands of messages made one's eyes blur.
"Holy crap, the Chinese soldiers are so cool!"
"All I want to know now is what kind of black technology their military uniforms are, to be so frost-resistant?"
"It's amazing! In high-altitude, extremely cold regions, you only need to wear a single layer of clothing!?"
"Can someone tell me where I can buy this kind of black technology jacket? It's already winter in Finland, and it's so cold outside."
"Same here, same here. As long as I don't have to bundle up like a polar bear in winter, I don't mind if it's a little more expensive."
"I wonder if they have similar stockings? Even in winter, I want to wear skirts."
Gao Yuan curled his lips. He noticed that men and women really focused on different things. Men wanted warmth and cold protection, while women were focused on looking good, hence having more demands on style and patterns.
"X2 type stockings, that's a good idea." Gao Yuan mumbled, stroking his chin.
Although a bit unexpected, regardless, the reputation of X series fiber had been established in this unforeseen way.
Within just a few days, it had completely fermented globally, becoming the hottest topic on all major charts.
Imperial Capital.
"Look at this," Wu Dongming said, wearing his reading glasses and pointing at a news headline on his mobile client. "The biggest spokesperson in history, the PLA personally stepped in, Kunlun's X series fiber is a global hit!"
"These self-media outlets nowadays, they'll write any headline to grab attention."
"And this one."
"Sales reach a new record, domestic apparel companies crushing world giants!"
Secretary Zhou Kaidi brought Wu Dongming a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Nowadays, traffic is money. Self-media outlets have to write sensational headlines to attract attention."
"But speaking of which, you need substance to back it up. Gao Yuan and Kunlun Company aren't just being hyped by news and public opinion; their technology is genuinely impressive."
"Last time we went to Jiangnan, the situation was quite tense. Now, I hear that chemical fiber companies, led by Japan, are retreating across the board. Even the most optimistic analysts didn't expect that powerful international giants would be so badly beaten by a small company like Kunlun."
"Kunlun isn't a small company anymore," Wu Dongming said with a smile. He got up, took his coat from the hanger, and lovingly stroked it.
"I think the full retreat of international giants is just the beginning," Wu Dongming said.
Zhou Kaidi was startled and showed disbelief in his eyes. "Leader, you mean Gao Yuan and the others can achieve another victory?"
Wu Dongming didn't answer directly. Instead, he spread the coat on the desk and pointed to the fabric. "The main body is X2 type fiber, with a brushed knitted fabric. The interior is filled with an X2 type fiber fleece lining, and the part closest to the skin is X1 quick-dry fiber."
"A coat like this can withstand temperatures of minus twenty degrees Celsius, yet it weighs only six hundred and fifty grams. The feeling of wearing it is simply wonderful."
"I used to have a favorite black cashmere coat. It was expensive when I bought it, and I only wore it for important occasions. Now, I don't even think about wearing it anymore."
Zhou Kaidi nodded slightly. He also felt that his life had been changed by technology. After wearing X series fiber, he truly couldn't go back.
After a pause, Wu Dongming added, "More importantly, it's the power of trends. I'm already over fifty years old. At my age, it's unlikely I'd pursue trends."
"However, you'd be wrong to think that way."
"When I attend meetings at the ministry, everyone from top to bottom is wearing X Fiber. If you wear a down jacket, you'll look like an outsider."
"At the last meeting, Old Zhu and Old Yuan were still wearing woolen coats. This time, both of them changed to X Fiber like everyone else."
"Even the old timers in the ministry are like this, let alone you young people?"
Zhou Kaidi recalled carefully. Nowadays, on the streets of the Imperial Capital, anyone not wearing X Fiber would indeed seem like an outsider.
Moreover, because X Fiber is moderately priced, although slightly higher than traditional thermal cotton clothes, it's significantly lower than down jackets and fur products, so there's no price barrier, which has also accelerated its adoption.
"As expected, the old ginger is the spiciest," Zhou Kaidi sighed. "Only you, old leader, see the issue so profoundly. The PLA's endorsement, black technology support, plus the power of trends."
"X Fiber has seized all the advantages of time, place, and people!"
Wu Dongming laughed heartily, very pleased. "I said long ago that Gao Yuan is a restless kid, someone who likes to stir things up!"
"It's only December now. If this trend continues, the withdrawal of international giants is just the beginning. The only thing I'm unsure about now is whether Gao Yuan, with his methods, can completely crush them this winter!"
Crush them completely!?
Hoo~
Upon hearing his old leader's astonishing remark, Zhou Kaidi couldn't help but gasp for air.
Gao Yuan always believed that a person can't have too many opportunities in life, so when an opportunity arises, you must seize it at all costs.
Since the PLA incident, Gao Yuan had entered a state of frenzy. He was like a tightly wound spring, tense every day, constantly urging contract manufacturers to ship, and pushing partners to increase promotion efforts.
No one wanted to receive a call from Gao Yuan at two in the morning, but everyone showed considerable restraint towards Gao Yuan's peculiar habit, doing their best to meet his demands.
The reason for the partners' compliance was simple: X Fiber was selling incredibly well. The whole world had gone completely mad for it!
Wu Dongming, in the Imperial Capital, saw this issue very clearly. The popularity of X Fiber wasn't due to any single factor, but rather the superposition of three forces: the PLA's endorsement, black technology support, and the global trend.
Even any one of these forces alone could sway the entire market, let alone all three striking at once.
As a result, X Fiber was no longer just a choice for people in winter; it had become the only choice for people in winter!
It's gotten to the point where you'd be embarrassed to greet your classmates if you weren't wearing X Fiber!
The X2 thermal fiber was released relatively late, with official shipments only starting in mid-September.
However, after a series of upheavals, by mid-December, it finally erupted with immense power, becoming an unstoppable torrent!
From New York to Los Angeles, from London to Paris, from Tokyo to Seoul, X Fiber products bearing the Kunlun mark were placed on the counters of all apparel retailers, talked about by everyone, and eagerly sought after.
Meanwhile, traditional fiber products, primarily from Japanese manufacturers, were utterly defeated, awkwardly finding themselves ignored.
Even more awkward were some Huaxia manufacturers. Seeing the major Japanese companies slashing prices, they hoarded large quantities, hoping to make a killing when winter arrived.
The result? Their warehouses full of inventory couldn't be sold, and they almost lost their shirts!
When these guys saw they couldn't hold on any longer and went back to Gao Yuan for stock, Gao Yuan completely ignored them. They were fair-weather friends; why didn't they do something earlier?
You have to understand, Huaxia's problem has never been insufficient production capacity, but overcapacity!
This was the perfect opportunity to weed out a batch.
In short, this winter was truly a spectacular and exhilarating success for Huaxia's textile and apparel industry!
As the calendar turned to mid-December, the coldest month of the year.
Gao Yuan decided to convene all his partners once more, sounding the horn for the final assault!
After all, the mission list was clear: "Bloodbath the global market!"
