Vol 2 Chapter 643: Must grab first

"This is real?"
Saburo Hanaya looked at the magazine entrusted to him by Yoshida and asked with a dark face.
"I think ... it should be true." Yoshida Yuan had bowed his head and said that he was fake, but it was a joke. However, in the presence of the chairman, Yoshida Yuan still chose a slightly marginal answer. After all, in this matter, he has shortcomings.
"Why was it grabbed by the Chinese first? Didn't you say that we will be the first discoverer of graphene?" Saburo Hanaya tossed the magazine to the table and asked angrily.
The predictions about graphene as a material can be traced back to 1947. By 1987 the word had been coined to refer to graphite sheets with a single-layer structure, also known as graphene. In the years before and after, many scientists and chemical material companies have made attempts to prepare graphene, but Nitsuka Chemical is the hardest one of them.
Because there are many controversies about the existence of graphene, most scholars have not invested too much energy in this aspect, especially it is difficult to obtain sufficient funding support, and the research progress is naturally conceivable. Yoshida Yuan of Nitsuka Chemical is a fanatic of graphene. He firmly believes that this two-dimensional structure material can exist. He succeeded in persuading Saburo Hanaya to enable Shintsuka Chemicals to invest huge amounts of money in this field for many years.
It is because knowing that other colleagues do not have such good conditions for the research of graphene, Yoshida Yuan has always assured Saburo Hanaya that as long as graphene really exists, then Nitsuka Chemical will be the first to discover such Materials, and has the most critical patented technology on graphene. That's what he said, and he thought so. If there was no such evil as Qin Hai, Yoshida's prediction could come true.
Qin Hai is stronger than Yoshida because he has a golden finger of the prophet. Being able to point in the right direction, plus adequate funding support. This enabled Anhe Material College to pick up the pearl of graphene before Nitsuka Chemical. Of course, the efforts made by Nie Sen are also an important factor for graphene research to achieve results so quickly. In contrast, Yoshida Yuan was a little lax in research and development because he did not realize the existence of competitors. Out of nowhere.
Seeing that Nie Sen proposed in the article to obtain the original graphene debris by mechanical peeling, Yoshida Yuan almost had a desire to run away. He has much more advanced equipment than Nie Sen. The designed experimental scheme is also more complicated than Nie Sen, but I did not expect to be preempted by Nie Sen. This is really a feeling of capsize in the gutter.
"We have been experimenting with silicon carbide epitaxial growth to prepare graphene. In fact, we have been very close to success. The method adopted by the Chinese is a coincidence. They were actually lucky to clean up the graphite debris with tape. The ground obtained some single-layer graphite flakes ... "Yoshida explained to Saburo Hana.
"But they also developed two industrial preparation methods, how can this be explained?" Saburo Hanaya pointed to the text in the magazine.
"This ..." Yoshida won't know what to say. In his heart, he couldn't wait to pull out Nie Sen's ancestors and all eight generations to greet him again. Has anyone heard of it when publishing a material. Two industrial preparation methods are proposed at the same time? Isn't this intentionally blocking the roads of others?
According to the general law of scientific research, a material is first prepared in the laboratory, at this time. Scientists will write articles announcing the existence of this material. Subsequently, scientists and companies interested in the world will begin to pay attention to this material and carry out research on industrial preparation. If this procedure is followed, even if Nie Sen first discovered graphene, Yoshida could quickly develop the industrial preparation process by virtue of his rich experience and the powerful strength of Nitsuka Chemical, so that Nitsuka Chemical took the lead in obtaining industrialized graphite Ene technology.
Unexpectedly, Nie Sen did not follow the routine at all. After discovering graphene in the laboratory, he took a secretive approach. It was not until the completion of the industrial preparation process that it was launched together. When others just heard about the emergence of something like graphene. Anhe Material College has already submitted patent applications for the two preparation processes to major patent agencies. How else does this play?
"The two preparation techniques proposed to the Chinese. What do you think?" Saburo Hanaya asked. He knew that it was meaningless to blame Yoshida again at this time, and scientific research sometimes required some luck, and there was nothing to be sure of. What we need to do now is to rush back to the first move and not let the graphene market fall into the hands of the Chinese.
"They have monopolized the two most effective preparation methods." Yoshida said with a wry smile, "The chemical vapor deposition method is our main process for producing carbon nanotubes. As long as we understand the structural characteristics of graphene, we can A process for producing graphene by vapor deposition was developed in a short period of time. But now that the Chinese have applied for a patent in advance, it is very difficult for us to propose another gas phase process that bypasses their method. "
"Baga!" Sanguchi Hanaguchi bit his teeth rattle. "This Chinese practice is really shameless. They have no right to block the news of graphene. This is an unfair behavior."
Listening to the roar of Saburo Hanaya, Yoshida Gen was silent, and he didn't know what to say. There is no fairness or unfairness in commercial matters. I can only blame Nie Sen for having a commercial company behind him, and he has calculated the relevant interest relations clearly. If Nie Sen was only a professor at a university, then he would certainly not have such a plan, and it would not be possible to hold such a major discovery in his hands for so long.
"Yoshida-kun, do you know this Nie Sen? Is it possible for us to buy the patent of the gas-phase process from him?" Asked the sales director Kaji Morioka, who was just as concerned as Saburo Hanaya It is also a question of how to grab the first move.
"I didn't know this Nie Sen. However, I did. He is a professor at China Anhe Material College, and the funder of Anhe Material College is China Daqin Industrial Group. This company has great ambitions in materials. .I think it's impossible to buy this patent from them. "Yoshida said.
"Daqin Industrial Group?" Saburo Hanaya frowned. "I seem to have heard the name of this company."
"I know this company." Morioka Kaji replied, "It and Cusella are competitors. The ceramic tools produced by Cusella are defeated by it. This company is in steel, ceramics, chemical materials, etc. Everyone has made achievements, and the super filter membrane it produced even beat the German Warren Group. "
"It turned out to be it, I remember." Saburo Hanaya nodded. "So, this is an opponent worthy of our vigilance."
Coucella has a big heel in ceramic knives. Although the company is so secretive about the beginning and the end of the matter, the people in the same circle can still learn some things. Coucella is a ceramics company, and modern ceramics production requires a variety of chemical raw materials, including some solvents, gels, etc. Some of them are purchased from Shintsuka Chemical, so the daily exchanges between the two companies a lot of. Cuzella planted a follow-up, Saburo Hanaya knew about it for the first time, and he took the originator of Daqin Group into his heart.
A Chinese company that can compete with Cusella and successfully bring Cusella into the pit is worthy of Saburo Hanutani. Now I heard that the patent for the industrialized preparation of graphene fell into the hands of Daqin Group, and Sanya Hanaya's fighting spirit was immediately aroused.
"The graphene production patent falls on the hands of a company such as Daqin Group, which poses a great threat to us." Saburo Hanaya said, "If we cannot develop our own graphene production process in a short time, then this The market will be monopolized by the Chinese, and even if we can squeeze them out in the future, they will already have their profits. "
Any new technology is the most profitable time when it comes out. There are no other competitors in the market, and companies with technology can arbitrarily increase the price of their products ~ EbookFREE.me ~ adopt the so-called "oil skimming" method to earn excess profits. When other companies develop similar technologies, the market supply gradually becomes rich, and the price of the products will fall. At this time, everyone can only make hard money, without much oil and water.
As a powerful company, Nitsuka Chemicals can often become a market leader and understands the value of first-mover advantages. This time, seeing that the Chinese have taken the lead, and that they are still a Chinese company with great market ambitions, can Saburo Hanaya be in no hurry.
"Yoshida Jun, isn't there any other process besides the two preparation processes proposed by the Chinese?" Morioka Kaki asked Yoshida source.
"I think it should exist," Yoshida said, scratching his head. "However, the vapor deposition method and the redox method should be the two simplest methods. Whether other methods are feasible, we need to experiment."
"From now on, you must devote all your energy to the development of new graphene processes. I hope to get an effective process within three months. As for funding, you can raise it." Huagu Saburo stared at Yoshida Gen with a gaunt eye and instructed.
"Hi!" Yoshida Yuan worked hard to agree, but he was far from optimistic. (To be continued)
