Chapter 902: The Big Dog's Super Order, Another Magic Weapon to the Middle East
Carbon fiber materials are really important for the aerospace industry.
People outside can realize this, let alone the Nanshan system itself.
After confirming the relevant situation of T1500, Zhao Siyu immediately made a new proposal to Cao Yang.
"Mr. Cao, I plan to use T1500 to make the outer shell of our starship, so that it can reduce its weight and improve its strength to the greatest extent."
For Venustech, there are several key projects being promoted simultaneously.
Venus 777 is one, CH-53, which is benchmarked against Sikorsky, is one, and the H-20 developed in cooperation with AVIC is naturally one.
These are all projects in the aviation field, and in the aerospace field, the most important one is the starship project.
Compared with Venus 9, the difficulty of the starship is many levels higher.
Even if Cao Yang personally participates in the research and development, the current progress is not that fast.
However, it is precisely because the progress is not particularly fast that the R&D team has time to change the plan.
For example, T1500 carbon fiber can be used in starships.
At that time, it is equivalent to just replacing the T1200 carbon fiber shell with T1500 carbon fiber material, and the performance will be improved by one level.
This result is definitely what everyone wants to see.
"No problem, as long as it is a component that can be replaced by carbon fiber composite materials, you can consider using T1500."
"Even Venus 9 can make a new version to improve its performance."
The group's subsidiaries have developed new materials, and brother companies want to use it in their products. Cao Yang will definitely not object.
This can be regarded as a full reflection of the advantages of group operations.
Otherwise, for the world's most advanced materials like T1500, not to mention when they can be supplied, even if they can be used, the price is estimated to be unbearable for few companies.
Such high-end materials, when they are sold to foreign countries, don't they sell for 1 million yuan per ton?
Even when exported, it is directly 1 million US dollars per ton.
And there is no bargaining.
"Okay, I will immediately arrange for personnel to start research on the improved version of Venus 9, and improve the launch weight and various performances on the existing basis."
"It would be best if there were some new breakthroughs in the number of recovery times."
Zhao Siyu said without any hesitation that he would immediately implement the relevant decision.
As the current star product of Venus Technology, Venus 9 has at least one launch mission every week.
Now it is also a world-famous rocket.
For such a mature product to be improved, everyone knows where to make the most effective changes.
Of course, these are all later.
Cao Yang and Zhao Siyu are now discussing how to use good things like T1500 in Venus Technology's products to the greatest extent.
Rockets are only one aspect, and various aircraft must also be carefully considered.
Even some sports cars from Nanshan Automobile Group can consider using T1500 carbon fiber materials when they are replaced.
That way it can better reflect its advanced nature.
After all, when the price of the car reaches that level, it is not a simple car issue, but a face issue.
When Cao Yang finished a meeting with Zhao Siyu and then went to attend a meeting with Nanshan Battery and Nanshan Equipment, Lin Cheng gave Cao Yang a huge surprise right away.
"Mr. Cao, the big dog customer has placed a super large order with us."
"They will use the latest solar photovoltaic panels supplied by Nanshan Equipment to build a huge energy storage station."
"According to the current communication, they will entrust us to build five large energy storage stations in Riyadh, Jeddah, Mecca, Medina, and Asir at the same time."
"The scale of each energy storage station reaches 1GWH, which is the largest single energy storage station in the world."
"In addition to the energy storage station, the corresponding solar power plant or wind power plant will also be built, and the investment in all projects exceeds US$2.5 billion."
Lin Cheng gave Cao Yang a huge surprise right away.
A large order of more than US$2.5 billion is definitely a very rare large order.
The key is that this project is a landmark project for Nanshan Battery's energy storage business to go abroad.
As long as the effect is good, many local tyrants in the Middle East will probably be very interested.
Some other countries will also be very interested in the business of combining energy storage stations with wind power and solar energy.
It can be said that this has opened up an important market for Nanshan companies.
"China is a major oil producer, but they are so interested in wind and solar power generation?"
Cao Yang asked in surprise.
However, he soon thought of the hot sales of the Future S9 in Northern Europe. The oil-producing countries there are also very enthusiastic about promoting new energy vehicles, which is more active than the oil-deficient countries.
Could it be that the situation of the dog big households is similar this time?
Is this what rich people like to do?
"The dog big households have been thinking about transformation in recent years. They are very interested in many things."
"For example, when we sold the double-tailed scorpion drone to them before, the other party also asked to build an assembly line there."
"They should want to change everyone's impression that they can only produce oil."
For such a large order, Lin Cheng must have gone to understand the relevant situation.
Otherwise, if he was fooled, it would be funny.
"Mr. Cao, I think whether the big dog family produces oil or not has little to do with whether to carry out this big project now."
"Even if they are a big oil-producing country now, sooner or later their oil resources will be exhausted, so it is inevitable to consider some solutions in advance."
"Using wind power and solar energy, and combining them with energy storage, they may solve their domestic electricity problems."
Pan Jinxing interrupted.
Although this project is led by Nanshan Battery, other brother companies such as Nanshan Equipment are also deeply involved in it.
After all, this is a package of turnkey solutions, not just providing energy storage batteries.
Nanshan Equipment has sold a lot of equipment to the outside world in recent years, and Pan Jinxing has dealt with merchants from all over the world, so he is relatively familiar with many situations outside.
"That's true. Oil exports are exports, and the use of clean energy is the use of clean energy."
"I think it's even possible to promote electric vehicles."
"In the past, people always thought that the price of oil in the big countries was too low, so electric vehicles had no advantages, and everyone liked large-displacement models."
"But I think the situation will gradually change. In the future, it is very likely that electric vehicles and large-displacement engines will share the market in the big countries."
Lin Cheng also knew that the future S9 was hot in Northern Europe, and he thought the market in the Middle East was also worth looking forward to.
For many domestic independent brand car companies, they often focus on markets such as polar bears and South America, and there are really few who have deeply cultivated the Middle East market.
Nanshan Automobile Group is a relatively successful car company in the Middle East, but overall, it is not the largest car company in the local area.
"What you said makes sense. Since the big dog owner is interested in this kind of super-large project, let's work with them."
"We can even consider promoting similar solutions in other neighboring countries."
"Whether it is solar power generation or wind power generation, the Middle East is very suitable."
"Especially after we took out the solar panels made of gallium nitride power components used on the Starlink satellite, the efficiency of solar power generation has been greatly improved."
"This makes it much more likely that solar power generation will be promoted on a large scale."
"And the solution combined with super-large energy storage stations can effectively avoid the shortcomings of unstable power output of wind power and solar power generation."
"Who knows, our group may become a major power supplier in the global power market in the future."
Although I don't quite understand the real thoughts of the big dog owner, after a preliminary analysis, I think the other party should still be very serious about this matter.
Then there is no need to be so entangled, just finalize this project and start construction as soon as possible.
In terms of construction speed, it is estimated that no country's construction team can catch up with China.
If the contract can be formally signed in the next few days, Nanshan Battery can immediately arrange the construction team to prepare to go to the big dog customer.
Maybe by this time next year, this big project of the big dog customer will be completed.
As for the increase in labor costs caused by the rush to complete the project, Cao Yang thinks that the big dog customer definitely does not lack this little money.
The wool comes from the sheep, so let the big dog customer pay the bill.
Soon, under Cao Yang's personal promotion, Nanshan Battery took the lead in signing a formal contract with the big dog customer.
The big dog customer had cooperated with Venusstar Technology before, and it was considered an old friend of Nanshan companies.
There is a certain basis of trust, and things are much easier to handle.
The other party even flew to Guangzhou to cooperate with Nanshan Battery to hold such a signing ceremony.
On the same day, this big news spread on the Internet.
"Mr. Fan, this time the big order from the big dog customer, the wind power equipment is obviously produced by us, but the initiative is completely in the hands of Nanshan Battery. It feels like we just earned a little hard-earned money." Fang Hongmei saw that the Internet was flooded with orders from Nanshan Battery and big dog customers, and she felt very jealous.
As the largest wind power equipment manufacturer in China, Modu Electric is now a well-known company in the industry.
But it turned out to be led by an outsider.
This was something she found difficult to accept.
However, Fan Huabo saw it clearly and said, "The most critical blades of our wind power equipment are provided by Nanshan Carbon Fiber, and the equally important wind power bearings are provided by Nanshan Auto Parts."
"We produced some other auxiliary parts ourselves and assembled them."
"To put it bluntly, Nanshan Equipment is fully capable of producing wind power equipment by itself, and they didn't even give us a sip of soup."
"Anyway, key parts such as blades and bearings are produced by companies within their group, and other parts such as motors and housings are easy to solve, whether they are produced by Nanshan companies themselves or purchased from outside."
"In this case, the other party is still willing to cooperate with us and be our supplier honestly. I think we should be satisfied."
It must be said that Fan Huabo's vision of great wisdom is really not something that ordinary people can have.
Although Modu Electric is a domestic leader in the equipment industry, especially in the power equipment industry, its overall strength is definitely not comparable to Nanshan Equipment.
If they have a quarrel with Nanshan Battery because of this project of Gou Da Hu, and they can really turn around and produce wind power equipment by themselves, then Modu Electric will not even get a sip of soup in the future.
Besides, after using Nanshan carbon fiber blades and Nanshan auto parts wind power bearings, the performance and cost competitiveness of the wind power equipment produced by Modu Electric are very strong, which has allowed them to obtain a lot of orders in recent years, and the company's performance is also booming.
Even if most of the profits are taken away by Nanshan companies, the profits left for Modu Equipment are still considerable.
In recent years, the annual net profit of Modu Electric has been above 5%, which is not very high, but it is not bad among industrial enterprises.
"They provide the main parts, and then we assemble them, and then buy them back and sell them to the big dog customers."
"Isn't it equivalent to our Modu Electric Appliances becoming their supplier in turn?"
Fang Hongmei has been with Fan Huabo for many years, and is considered the most direct of the direct, so some words can be expressed more casually.
Even if Fan Huabo has clearly stated his point of view, as long as Fang Hongmei can't figure it out, they can still continue to discuss it.
Of course, this kind of discussion must not be held in the meeting, which would make Fan Huabo lose face.
It doesn't matter in private.
Fan Huabo is even willing to take these opportunities to show his extraordinary vision in front of Fang Hongmei.
"If we don't have the energy storage project of Nanshan Battery to cooperate with the orders from the big dog customers, we are unlikely to get them."
"You see, there were some orders for wind power equipment in Europe and the Middle East before, but they were all snatched away by Vestas in the end."
"Vestas' competitiveness in the international wind power market is much stronger than ours. We want to defeat Vestas and become the world's largest wind power equipment manufacturer. Deep cooperation with Nanshan companies is the most ideal solution."
"Look, today they can finalize a large order of 2.5 billion US dollars with the big dog customers. Who knows, they can also sign similar large orders with some other big customers later."
"We just need to follow behind and drink some soup."
It's good to take shelter under the big tree.
Fan Huabo's mentality is very positive now.
Don't do anything to compete with Nanshan companies.
Nanshan companies can only be partners, not enemies.
In recent years, all companies that have been partners with Nanshan companies are basically in a thriving situation.
On the other hand, the rivals of Nanshan Group’s enterprises have either disappeared into the long river of history or their business development has fallen into a stagnant situation. In any case, few of them are thriving.
…
Modu Electric can live comfortably with Nanshan Group’s enterprises, but as the biggest competitor of Modu Electric, Vestas has a hard time.
“Mr. Anderson, we are very happy to see Vestas cooperating with Nanshan Carbon Fiber.”
“The performance of the carbon fiber wind turbine blades we produce is the best in the world. Vestas can completely hand over all the carbon fiber blade business to us.”
“But what you said about cooperating with Nanshan Battery’s energy storage station and combining wind power with energy storage business, I personally think it is very feasible.”
“Specific projects may need to be promoted in combination with the situation of Nanshan Battery.”
Zeng Jianying looked at Anderson, the general manager of Vestas China Branch, who came to visit specially, and was in a very good mood.
At the beginning, Nanshan Carbon Fiber also took the initiative to find Vestas, wanting to provide carbon fiber blades for their factory in the grassland province.
However, the other party would rather import blades from abroad than purchase from Nanshan Carbon Fiber.
A few years later, the situation changed completely, and the other party actually took the initiative to find Nanshan Carbon Fiber for cooperation.
This is really a matter of time.
"In addition to using your company's carbon fiber wind turbine blades, we will also consider purchasing wind turbine bearings from Nanshan Auto Parts."
"We can provide all the conditions that Modou Electric can provide."
"Although the development speed of Modou Electric has been very fast in recent years, we also admit this."
"But in terms of international reputation, Vestas and Modou Electric are still very different, and the brand influence is very different in Europe and other places."
"If Nanshan companies cooperate with our Vestas, then they will definitely have an advantage when taking projects in Europe and other places."
Anderson came to Zeng Jianying this time to communicate, and it was obvious that he had already reported the general direction to the headquarters.
Otherwise, he would not dare to tempt Zeng Jianying with conditions casually.
Objectively speaking, his words are not unreasonable.
Vestas is the world's most well-known wind power equipment manufacturer and the first giant to enter the field of wind power equipment. Its brand influence is still relatively large.
Many customers in the overseas market recognize Vestas' brand.
Of course, these are definitely relative.
"I personally fully support in-depth cooperation with Vestas."
"But if the entire Nanshan Group of companies is deeply tied to Vestas, then your company may need to reflect some of its own value."
"For example, if your company can promote our energy storage station and wind power combination solution in Europe, then there will be no problem using Vestas' wind power equipment."
Zeng Jianying must not have seen the rabbit before the eagle.
Cooperation is possible, but it cannot harm the interests of the parties involved.
If Vestas can find a project in Europe with the package solution that Nanshan Battery has developed in the dog big household, then everyone can definitely cooperate well.
To some extent, this is also a win-win situation.
But if it is a project that Nanshan Battery has taken down by itself, it is completely meaningless to use Vestas' wind power equipment.
It is better to let Nanshan Equipment do it by itself than to get rid of Modou Electric and go to Vestas.
After hearing what Zeng Jianying said, Anderson was a little disappointed.
But he also knew that the current situation has changed.
If Vestas really wants to continue to maintain its market share, it may really have to consider actively expanding projects and recommend the cooperation plan between Nanshan Battery and Goudahu as a template to other customers.
It’s just that this kind of practice of drinking soup by yourself but actively helping others find meat to eat makes people feel a little aggrieved.
But the situation is stronger than people.
…
"Mr. Li, this time Nanshan Battery and Goudahu's energy storage station construction plan, I think it is still quite meaningful for reference."
"We can also find a few manufacturers to cooperate, and we will form an alliance to expand overseas markets together."
Shi Junhui specially arranged people to keep an eye on Nanshan Battery.
As the industry leader, Nanshan Battery is the best choice for Guoxuan to follow the other party's pace.
The development strategy of Nanshan Group's enterprises has been recognized by everyone in recent years, and Shi Junhui naturally admires it.
Now the other party has easily come up with a large order of 2.5 billion US dollars, which is really attractive.
Guoxuan must be thinking about following up.
After all, when Nanshan Battery promoted the energy storage station plan in China in the early years, Guoxuan had already followed up synchronously and built a batch of energy storage stations in China, which can be regarded as having experience in this area.
The technical requirements of energy storage batteries are lower than those of power batteries, which is even less stressful for Guoxuan.
What needs to be done now is to find a few partners to work together like Nanshan Battery and get a few big orders from abroad.
"Solar photovoltaic panels, wind power equipment manufacturers, and technical partners with integration capabilities."
"It's not that these partners are hard to find, but it's still difficult to form a relatively strong competitiveness."
Li Zhen is still self-aware and knows that Guoxuan is unlikely to find excellent partners like Nanshan Battery.
However, Shi Junhui has a different view on this situation. "We don't actually need to surpass Nanshan Battery. After all, the international market is so vast, and not every customer has such high requirements."
"You get what you pay for. This requirement is too high, and the construction cost of the project will also be very high."
Differentiated marketing, providing customers with more cheap solutions.
This is what Shi Junhui wants to promote.
In his opinion, this is entirely possible.
There are still many places in the world where solar energy or wind energy is abundant.
Even if it is impossible to build a 1GWH energy storage station at one time, a few hundred MWH is also very good.
At that time, Guoxuan's battery factory can consider further expanding its production capacity.
Under the environment of good investment promotion policies, investment in new projects is something that everyone is looking forward to.
After listening to Shi Junhui, Li Zhen gradually became interested.
Although the energy storage station business is a one-time business, it cannot withstand the strong demand for batteries every time.
And if it is done well, after completing the first phase of the project, there may be a second phase of the project.
This is also something worth looking forward to.
Yes, Nanshan Battery's big order with the big dog this time has completely stimulated the enthusiasm of various battery companies in China to accelerate the development of energy storage business.
However, this situation has made many companies more worried.
