"What did you say?"
Inside the dean's office.
Xu Yun and Gu Qunqing, who arrived together, were being looked at.
Tian Liangwei's brows were already furrowed into a knot, his tone filled with confusion and anger:
"Why is this happening?"
A short while ago.
He had just approved a project report within the institute when he received a ssage from Xu Yun:
Nutrien Company refuses to provide the FOERDA-T632 sequence production line to Huadun Biotech anymore!
Previously ntioned.
The production process of 'Kill-a-Bug' is divided into two parts:
One part is the cyclization-construction production process, and the other part is the filling production process.
The forr has high technical content, while the latter has lower technical requirents.
For the latter, Xu Yun and others chose TC708 filling production from Modu Chemical.
The cost of the entire set of equipnt is very low, with a total price of over 200,000 Huaxia Coins for fourteen modules, plus a three-year technical warranty extension.
However, the cyclization-construction process involves the production of 10-epoxy-3,6-eicosadiene, including reactions like acetic nickel/sodium borohydride catalytic hydrogenation, Sharpless asymtric epoxidation, and alkyl epoxide rearrangent, which ans the equipnt requirents are very high.
In the current international chemical industry.
Only the FOERDA-T632 sequence equipnt from Nutrien Company of Maple Country ets the requirents of Xu Yun and others.
Although there was a certain degree of price premium when Nutrien sold it, a 30% premium was just in an awkward range.
Moreover, no dostic company has the production capacity or experience for such equipnt.
So, Xu Yun and others could only jot down the account earlier and then buy the equipnt from them.
However, what Xu Yun and others did not expect was.
After deciding to expand the production line.
Gu Qunqing sent a customary letter of intent to the other party, preparing to negotiate the intention to increase capacity.
But unexpectedly, just two hours later, the manager's email received a reply:
Nutrien Company refuses to provide any more production equipnt, including but not limited to all equipnt from FOERDA-T632 to FOERDA-T646.
Below the email was a big stamp and the signatures of the board of directors.
One glance was enough to tell it was genuine.jpg.
This email is undoubtedly disastrous news for Huadun Biotech, which had just gotten on track.
It ans one thing:
If Xu Yun and others cannot find an alternative equipnt supplier, the daily production capacity of 'Kill-a-Bug' will forever remain at the current level.
The current daily volu is 20,000 units, with a cost estimated at ten coins, amounting to at most 6 million coins per month.
This is clearly a situation that no one can accept.
Therefore, upon receiving the news.
Gu Qunqing imdiately contacted Xu Yun and took him to Tian Liangwei's office to inform him of the situation.
Although Tian Liangwei, having seen storms before, was initially surprised, his expression quickly returned to normal, asking seriously:
"Manager Gu, why did the other party send this email? Have you understood the reasons?"
"Ignoring whether it violates trade laws or not, isn't there already a logical issue with this practice? Who wouldn't want to do business?"
"Could it be that they are planning to raise the price by taking this opportunity, thereby intentionally giving us psychological pressure?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qunqing shook his head and took out a docunt from his body:
"Academician Tian, take a look at this."
Tian Liangwei took the docunt, adjusted his glasses, and began to read carefully.
A mont later.
He looked up sowhat surprised, his eyes slightly widened:
"The Wassenaar Agreent?"
Gu Qunqing nodded, exhaled a long breath, and confird:
"That's right, the FOERDA-T632 equipnt... was included in the Wassenaar Agreent list as of early morning the day before yesterday."
Tian Liangwei slamd the docunt on the table:
"Those bastards!"
Students who like to read industrial fiction probably know one thing.
Whenever talking about Huaxia's industrial history, people often add the qualifier 'glory mixed with blood and tears' at the beginning.
Among these elents, the fundantal reason why Huaxia's industrial developnt is mixed with blood and tears is naturally foreign hostility.
The direct barriers to such past occurrences were various embargo laws.
For example, the well-known Bagration.
Bagration's formal na is the "Output Control Coordinating Committee," secretly established in November 1949 at the behest of those across the sea.
As its headquarters were based in Paris, it was commonly referred to as the "Paris Coordinating Committee."
Bagration was a product of the Cold War, an unofficial international organization ford by developed industrial nations in Europe and Arica after World War II in the field of international trade.
Its purpose is simple:
To restrict mber countries from exporting strategic materials and high technology to socialist countries.
The embargo list includes tens of thousands of types of military weaponry, advanced technological products, and rare materials.
Because of Bagration's restrictions, many of our devices had to be developed from scratch, breaking monopolies step by step.
Many of the companies that succeeded in breaking through have now beco the pride of the Republic's industry.
But more lie as countless corpses under the banner of glory.
In 1994.
Bagration disbanded.
But it wasn't long before the West ca up with a new agreent:
The Wassenaar Agreent.
The Wassenaar Agreent, also known as the Wassenaar Arrangent chanism, is formally called "The Wassenaar Arrangent on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies."
Countries like Eagle, Neon, and John Bull are signatories, totaling more than forty.
And Huaxia is listed as the top target for verification under the Wassenaar Agreent.
Although the "Wassenaar Arrangent" stipulates that mber countries independently decide whether to issue export licenses for sensitive products and technologies and voluntarily report related information to other mber countries.
