<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe second part of the conference was when the host discussed filming promotional videos at the factory. I didn\u2019t expect the host to call on me specifically to speak, and when the microphone was handed to me, I was still a little nervous. I\u2019m not used to speaking in such a large setting, so I\u2019ll need to practice more in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because of this speech, many people came to add me on WeChat. Most valuable of all was an engineer from a German steel mill who approached me to discuss mold steel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0To be precise, he was a PhD in metallurgy. He was familiar with 8566 die\u00a0steel<\/a> <\/strong>and had even conducted research on it. He\u2019d been wanting to talk to me for a while but hadn\u2019t had the chance\u2014so today\u2019s occasion made it feel very natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He also expressed strong disapproval of the \u201cfour knockoffs\u201d of 8566. What baffled him most was that, since some steel mills are imitating us and even calling their product \u201c8566\u201d outright, their tactics are simply too unscrupulous. The performance of mold steel is determined by impurity content, internal structure, and microstructural uniformity; alloy composition is just one factor among many. As professionals, they should know this, but I can\u2019t understand why they would simply copy our alloy composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a0He also cited the example of a certain brand\u2019s S136: theirs polishes well, but it\u2019s expensive. Many so-called domestic S136<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0grades sell for only about twenty yuan per kilogram and are virtually impossible to polish\u2014how can you even compare with them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this industry, while you\u2019re working, others are watching. If you don\u2019t play by the rules, it\u2019s hard to earn respect\u2014even if you\u2019re very wealthy, people can choose not to do business with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Occasionally participate in industry association events and listen to what others have to say\u2014you\u2019ll gain a lot of insight and develop better judgment. At the very least, you\u2019ll learn what not to do and what you shouldn\u2019t do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The biggest takeaway today is that everyone is making videos now, and there are no longer any in-person visitors. When everyone is making videos, we should be doing live streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s a mold factory that live streams every day\u2014two shareholders, two accounts\u2014conducting over 500 live streams a year. The impact that outsiders have on you really struck a chord with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n *************<\/p>\n\n\n\n
