Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

If you want to check the situation of an American company, it may be inefficient to check Yingang Trading or Nanshan Group companies yourself.

But after Hu Yingang told Zhao Siyu about the strange order, he immediately asked Pan Jun to help find relevant departments to assist in the investigation.

In the end, the situation was quickly figured out.

Although some information is not particularly clear, the situation in each chain is generally clear.

"Mr. Cao, judging from the current situation, this is completely the work of a white-glove company established by powerful figures from relevant departments in the United States."

"Tens of millions of dollars in gallium nitride power components should be used in the new generation of electronic reconnaissance ships produced by Northrop Grumman."

"I estimate that the performance of the 915 electronic reconnaissance ship in the southern waters gave them a lot of stimulation."

After Zhao Siyu figured out the situation, he immediately went to report to Cao Yang.

Although I had previously thought about controlling the export of Nanshan Semiconductor’s gallium nitride power components.

But these things definitely depend on the situation.

If there is no way to produce gallium nitride power components in the United States, then they must use various methods to prevent their products from being bought by American companies.

But now companies in the United States can actually produce gallium nitride power components, but the production efficiency is lower and the cost is higher.

In this case, Nanshan Semiconductor's export restrictions will naturally become much more flexible.

Regardless of whether the money is earned or not, the U.S. electronic reconnaissance ships will eventually use gallium nitride power components.

In this case, it would be better for Nanshan Semiconductor to earn this money.

The profit margin for this kind of export orders is definitely much higher than those sold to Aerospace Technology and AVIC.

"They move very quickly."

Although Cao Yang was a little surprised by what Zhao Siyu reported, he didn't think it was strange after thinking about it.

People who are used to being the boss in the world will never allow others to challenge their status easily.

Now that China is rapidly rising in the field of electronic reconnaissance ships, the United States must follow suit and make some noise.

Although the electronic reconnaissance ship that was paralyzed during the exercise was not considered an advanced product in the American system, they had more powerful warships that did not participate in the exercise.

But combined with the results of the electronic countermeasures in that exercise, even if they sent out their most advanced electronic reconnaissance ships, they were not confident of victory.

It's not easy to even get a tie. At most, you won't lose so miserably.

This situation is obviously not acceptable to them.

Although the situation of the 915 electronic reconnaissance ship is kept secret from the outside world, if the United States is determined to inquire, it can still get some information.

Therefore, it was inevitable that people would immediately start using gallium nitride power components on a large scale to produce related equipment and remodel an electronic reconnaissance ship.

"Mr. Cao, during the course of this investigation, we also discovered an interesting thing."

"That is, one of the companies involved in this transaction has purchased a lot of drones from DJI. Many of these drones have gone to relevant departments in the United States."

"The most exaggerated thing is that the final sales price of those drones is almost ten times the export price from DJI."

Zhao Siyu didn't make any detours and directly told Cao Yang all the information he had learned.

Of course, when he told this matter, he didn't just tell it as a joke.

Rather, he wanted to use this incident to make Cao Yang understand that these white glove companies in the United States import parts from Nanshan-based companies and then sell them to relevant departments. There seems to be no need to eliminate this kind of business.

After all, this is a win-win result for the companies in the Nanshan Group and the white gloves of the United States.

Anyway, even if these things are not purchased from China, they can actually produce similar products in their own country.

It's just that the purchasing cost may be higher.

It seems that companies in the Nanshan Group are helping relevant departments in the United States save money, and this cannot be done.

In fact, taking this opportunity to completely suppress the relevant industrial chains in the United States will have a huge impact in the long run.

One day in the future, if people discover the situation of white glove companies and think about switching to domestic procurement, it will definitely be more difficult than it is now.

"In this case, then the business of Yingang Trading can be carried out normally."

"But in terms of price, the selling price to the United States can be appropriately increased in the future."

"Anyway, even if the price doubles, it's still a very cheap price for them."

"There is no need to let money go without making money."

Now let’s squeeze the living space of other gallium nitride power component companies and reduce their demand.

In a few years, if Cao Yang suddenly interrupts the supply of related components, it will definitely make the other party uncomfortable.

Of course, when and whether to do this kind of thing must be decided according to the needs of the development of the situation.

……

Throughout April, Cao Yang and the others focused a lot of their attention on the 4 electronic reconnaissance ship and a series of related matters.

But for many people, they are simply not in the mood to pay attention to these things.

Because the prices of raw materials used in power batteries, such as lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide, nickel, and cobalt, have skyrocketed this month.

Unlike the previous few points of increase, these materials have generally increased by 20% to 30% this month.

For a kind of raw material, the price has increased by 20 to 30% in one month, which is definitely a very exaggerated increase.

Power batteries are the most expensive component of electric vehicles, and raw materials account for the largest proportion of the cost of power batteries.

The price increased by several percent, and many people immediately felt the crisis.

"Mr. Lin, although the price of raw materials has risen sharply this month, no one is sure whether it is sustainable."

“Isn’t it a little early to start discussing price increases now?”

As the deputy general manager of Changan Automobile, Zhang Lin was discussing the battery price increase with Lin Chengzai, the visiting general manager of Nanshan Battery.

In the past, the prices of various materials were relatively stable. After everyone set the price of the entire battery pack, there was basically no price adjustment.

Of course, except for the effect of annual price reduction negotiations.

Under this circumstance, Nanshan Battery proposed to adjust the raw material prices of batteries, but many companies are definitely unwilling to do so.

After all, the so-called price adjustment is actually a price increase.

Even if they know that the prices of relevant raw materials on the market are indeed rising, they are not happy.

No company is happy to see its costs increase.
