Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2299: Decapitation Operation against Yiyuan Intelligence
What the outside world sees is just a sci-fi fighter jet, but what is gained inside is much more than that.

"Don't worry, I will definitely figure these things out!"

Looking at Ji Donglai's eyes, Hu Xinyu nodded. Now Yiyuan Zhizao has stood at the top of the industrial food chain, so it will also face top predators.

After returning to the office, less than two minutes after the space was closed, Hu Xinyu's phone rang. Two minutes after she answered the call, Hu Xinyu's face changed.

"Mr. Lu was attacked, but fortunately his injuries were not serious. However, there was a problem with the Thai flight, and Mr. Lu was denied boarding. Mr. Lu is currently transiting in Singapore!"

"Also, Europe has banned the sale of our machine tools. The European Machine Tool Association has filed a lawsuit against us on the grounds of monopoly! Now the New Year Machine Tool Exhibition that our machine tools were scheduled to attend has been cancelled. All containers cannot dock at the port. I have to go back to coordinate this matter immediately!"

After her expression changed several times, Hu Xinyu knew that she was facing her latest test.

Especially the European Machine Tool Association, which is a very troublesome existence. CECIMO was established in 1981. It is composed of machine tool manufacturers' associations in 1 European countries, representing about 15 industrial enterprises, of which more than 1500% are small and medium-sized enterprises. CECIMO covers 80% of the total machine tool production in Europe and about 98% of the world's machine tool production, with about 33 employees and a turnover of about 150 billion euros in 000.

Especially in Germany, with the rise of China's machine tool industry in recent years, especially the strong intervention of Xinyu Machine Tool under Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing, the export of the other party's high-end machine tools has shown a cliff-like decline, and Europe's high-end machine tool share is also being eliminated.

As one of Germany's five major mechanical industrial groups, the high-end machine tool manufacturing industry plays a vital role in the European Union, so it is now also beginning to join in the restrictions on Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing.

Over the past year or so, Hu Xinyu and Gan Ping have been lobbying people from the Machine Tool Alliance in Europe, trying to invest locally so that Xinyu Machine Tools can truly take root locally.

Initial results had been achieved, but the Germans intervened forcefully, causing the negotiations to be interrupted and restarted repeatedly. Now they have directly launched an antitrust investigation into Xinyu Machine Tool. This is a serious matter.

"It's expected. Don't be surprised. As we rise more in the future, there will be more confrontations like this. Actively respond to the lawsuit. Our systems and technologies are all for sale. As long as the price is right and we are willing to cooperate, let them come at us!"

Ji Donglai did not feel any awe towards these industrialized countries that were used to eating fresh meat. Over the past hundred years, these people had taken a lot of foreign exchange from China, almost living off their money. Now they had finally paid a heavy price for their arrogance and standing still.

In 2009, Shenyang Machine Tool Co., Ltd. sold a machine tool for RMB 35. It cost RMB 28 just to purchase the CNC systems from Germany's Siemens and Japan's FANUC. If the subsequent system maintenance and upgrade costs were added, Shenyang Machine Tool Co., Ltd. would be basically unprofitable. At that time, Ji Donglai had already started the research and development of domestic machine tools.

In order to restrict the development of China's machine tools, all technologically advanced countries, including Germany, Japan and the United States, set up high firewalls to block China's introduction and digestion of machine tools.

In 1996, Shenyang Machine Tool Co., Ltd. spent over million yuan to introduce CNC technology from Bridgestone in the United States. However, the foreign party only sent a source code data package without informing the core technical principles and usage principles. As a result, the CNC machine tools developed in this way became scrapped.

In 1999, when Dalian Guangyang imported machine tools from Japan, the Japanese side imposed a series of "unfair terms": the installation location and purpose must be limited; if the machine tool is moved without authorization, it will be automatically locked and the machine tool will be turned into scrap metal.

In 2005, Shenyang Machine Tool Co., Ltd. bought the German company Schiess, thinking it had acquired the technology. Unexpectedly, German law stipulates that "local knowledge cannot be transferred abroad" and that machine tool technology with more than five axes is banned from export to China.

In 2007, Shenji planned to spend 6000 million euros to purchase a set of CNC system source code, but experts found that it would take five years to interpret the system and another five years to industrialize it, and the technology would be outdated.

The main reason was that China's machine tools at that time seriously lacked synchronization in research and development and application. All research and development were benchmarked against advanced foreign machine tools, which was simply copying homework.

As for whether it is suitable for the domestic market, we will talk about it after we finish copying it.

Often what is developed is just an imitation of others, with a bunch of so-called innovations thrown into warehouses. Take Dalian Machine Tool as an example. On the playground of Dongjiagou, there are a large number of machine tools covered with tarpaulin that cannot be sold. They are left there with no market and can only be dismantled for parts. It is ridiculous, a huge waste of resources for the whole society, and polluted the environment, which is disheartening.

Mature machine tool R&D has always been market-first, then R&D. A machine tool can be put on the market directly after it is developed. Ji Donglai uses the huge manufacturing capacity of Yiyuan Zhizao as a guarantee and demand market, and simultaneously improves the R&D capacity of machine tools, breaking all blockades in one fell swoop.

So since 2010, Xinyu Machine Tools has been developing at a rapid pace and its sales in the market have been very good. Although it is rarely reported in domestic newspapers, it has truly taken up the banner of development.

At this time, in an office in Europe, several middle-aged men in suits were sitting facing each other.

"How will Xinyu Machine Tool be made this time?"

Looking at the basic information in front of him, the short Asian man looked at the people opposite him. Except for him, the others all had European faces. "Just like DMG, merger and reorganization! Xinyu Machine Tools has been operating in our land for many years, but there is no suitable market. The Asian market has been divided up by us, and Xinyu Machine Tools will not have much market."

"Even though he is very advanced, so what? Demagi was advanced enough back then, but we still locked up the market and eventually acquired it. This world is ruled by capital, not technology. If Ji Donglai can stay calm, he will know that we are the important silver that determines the world!"

"The top ten machine tool companies in China have all collapsed. Now only Xinyu Machine Tool is left. It's either cooperation or bankruptcy. There is no other way out!"

The man in front was holding a cup of coffee and looking around.

There were several circular signs placed on the table, and several people around nodded slightly.

"Machine tools must be centered in Europe. If Ji Donglai disagrees, she will not be able to conduct any business in Europe in the future. We are the leaders of this matter. Industry, especially advanced manufacturing, can and must stay in Europe. If these conditions are missing, then our entire industry cannot operate."

"The conditions can be more generous. This is not a problem for us. Also, some of the chess pieces in Asia need to be moved. This time our acquisition must be thorough!"

The third man picked up the tea, took a sip, and made the final decision.

Several people standing behind him immediately started making phone calls, and soon a lot of negative news about Xinyu Machine Tools flooded the Chinese media.

"Xinyu Machine Tools sells its products in bundles, locking in customers. Who is going to regulate this kind of monopoly? It is simply killing small and medium-sized processing plants like us. Look, this is Xinyu Machine Tools. It is so disgusting! If you use its machine tools, you have to use its industrial software. Do you know how rubbish this industrial software is? It is incomparable to foreign industrial software!"

"It takes a very long time to run something, but foreigners' industrial software can complete it in a short time. But if you don't use their software, you can't use their system or machine tools. Such a crappy software that is not even worthy of delivering shoes to foreign countries is actually sold for hundreds of thousands or even millions. Where is the conscience of these people..."

A cousin speaking with a Minnan accent made various accusations to the camera. The picture showed a machine tool with the words "Xinyu Machine Tool" very conspicuous on it. The other party's camera kept shaking.

It was all hard work from the other side, there was no trace of processing at all, it was very clean.

Then some video cameras were exposed, all of which accused Xinyu Machine Tool of bundling high-end machine tools and industrial software for sale. In the eyes of some people, Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing has done everything it can to make money.

Some people also released videos of Xinyu machine tools exploding, injuring people, and stopping without reason.

"Have you seen this? A machine tool worth millions has stopped working! This is incomparable to the German machine tools. The German machine tool is this one over here. It has been working for ten years without any problems. Look at this Xinyu machine tool. It has only been working for two years and it has stopped working. What kind of rubbish is this? And you sell it at such a high price. Where is your conscience? Ji Donglai, come out and apologize. You bastards, you call yourself a conscientious enterprise, but your conscience has been fed to dogs."

"My machine is also a Xinyu machine tool. They just treat us consumers as if we are not human beings! The machine tool system was upgraded and it stopped working. What can you do about it? They want money and force us to use these crappy software. If we don't use them, they won't let us work. It's too bad..."

Without exception, they were all uncles and aunts with Minnan accents. Many of them claimed to be from Northeast China, Hebei, or Shanghai, without even pronouncing their tongues straight.

Various negative comments came one after another. Lu Jinqiu, who had just returned to China, lay on the bed and laughed when he read the various reports.

"Is the decline in IQ so serious in China now? You said you are from the north, so at least straighten your tongue first. You should not insult the IQ of Chinese people, okay? I can see that this is fake..."

Facing this group of people, Lu Jinqiu looked at his infusion bottle, then at the beautiful nurse. After they left, Lu Jinqiu called his assistant.

The public opinion on the Internet is still fermenting. Although the video is stupid, there are still a lot of people following the trend, and almost all of them are calling for the destruction of Xinyu Machine Tool.

Some people even petitioned to destroy Xinyu Machine Tool because the factory brought shame to the Chinese people.

"I am a senior CNC operator. I have used FANUC systems, Siemens systems, and American machine tools. The worst are domestic operating systems. Especially Xinyu machine tool operations are the worst. You can see that its anti-human design requires us to know how to design."

"I am a machine operator who can design yarn. I can design it, but why do I come here to watch the machine and make yarn? If all machine tools are designed like this, we won't be able to do our jobs. Someone must take care of this matter and not let Xinyu Machine Tool mess around."
