Amidst all the chaos, China's automobile industry spent 2006.
Throughout 2006, sales of both joint venture car companies and independent brands have increased.
The only difference is that everyone's increases are not exactly the same.
Under such circumstances, the enthusiasm of various car companies to release December sales and 2006 full-year production and sales data is naturally very high.
The New Year's Day holiday has just ended, and the main sales have already come out.
I have to say that this efficiency is quite good.
Historically, in 2006, China's automobile market, especially the passenger car market, was definitely dominated by joint venture cars.
Whether it is North and South Volkswagen, Modu GM, Didu Hyundai, or Yangcheng Honda, all of them performed very well.
The combined market share of all self-owned brand passenger cars is only 25%.
But because of the emergence of Nanshan Group, BYD entered the automobile industry earlier than in history, and its newly launched models also sold better.
Great Wall Motors also transformed into SUVs earlier and launched a comprehensive range of SUV models.
Even Changan Automobile entered the field of passenger cars earlier.
As for Chery and Geely, needless to say, there must be changes.
In this case, the performance of independent brands in the market will definitely be very different.
Although it has not doubled, the market share has increased by at least seven or eight points.
And this trend is accelerating.
"Thanks to the hard work of all employees, BYD's annual sales in 2006 exceeded 340,000 vehicles. Among them, the sales of F3 models reached 170,000 vehicles, F6 models 100,000 vehicles, and S6 models 70,000 vehicles."
"Good news! Great Wall Motor's annual sales in 2006 exceeded 300,000 units, of which H6..."
"Geely Automobile in 2006..."
Various car brands have released their sales figures on their official accounts on Weibo.
The situation can be described as very good.
The number of car-related topics on Weibo has also increased significantly.
"Mr. Li, our new factory construction plan has been produced."
"According to the current growth rate, our production capacity will be seriously insufficient by the year after next, and we will need to invest in new factories."
Hou Liang, director of the Geely Automobile Purchasing Department, and the heads of relevant departments reported to Li Su on the planning of the new factory.
In the past two years, there has been a new wave of investment and factory building in various places.
Especially Japanese car companies, Korean car companies and independent brands are developing very fast.
On the contrary, the development speed of North and South Volkswagen is obviously lagging behind the entire industry.
To put it mildly, if the entire market had not been growing rapidly, their sales would have definitely declined.
Throughout 2006, there was too much bad news about Volkswagen.
Of course, this is a situation that Hou Liang and other independent brand personnel would be happy to see.
"Last time I asked you to visit Xingchen Automobile. Did you make any adjustments based on the layout of Xingchen Automobile?"
Li Su has naturally seen various reports and videos related to Xingchen Automobile's benchmark factory.
This time Geely Automobile will build a new factory. Although it is impossible to completely benchmark Xingchen Automobile, some appropriate benchmarking is still needed.
"We have made certain adjustments to our new factory plan by combining the advanced technologies used in various factories of Xingchen Motors."
"For example, the increase in the number of welding robots and the introduction of automatic nut-tightening robots in welding workshops."
“But there are some projects that we feel are not cost-effective.”
"For example, using laser welding technology requires the introduction of specialized laser welding equipment, which is relatively expensive."
"There are also AGVs used in the assembly workshop. We feel that except for a few special workstations, it would be more economical and more cost-effective to transport the rest by forklifts."
"Some other equipment has also received relevant reviews, and we have also sorted out the changes from the plan reported in the first version."
Hou Liang had long predicted that Li Su would ask this question, so he didn't panic at all.
"Is the welding robot purchased from Nanshan Robot?"
"Yes, Nanshan Robot's welding robots are not only of good quality and technologically advanced, but also cheaper than those of manufacturers such as Fanuc."
"Nowadays, at least 60% of the new welding robots purchased by various domestic automobile manufacturers are purchased from Nanshan Robot."
"We have also invited Nanshan Equipment to participate in the bidding for some other equipment."
"Basically, as long as Nanshan Equipment can produce it and has cost and technical advantages, we choose to buy it from Nanshan Equipment."
Geely Automobile's current cooperation with Nanshan Group is also very close.
Especially in terms of engines and gearboxes, there is a trend to expand cooperation.
Of course, as their own engine technology improves in a few years, this trend may change.
But cooperation in other parts has been increasing.
After several years of running in, the purchasing and technical staff of each independent brand have slowly found the rules and experience.
For the parts and components that Nanshan Group can provide, it is the easiest and cheapest solution to purchase them directly.
Otherwise, if you buy it from Bosch or China, the price will definitely be more expensive.
If you buy from other domestic private companies, the quality and technology will definitely not be as good as Nanshan.
So as long as it is a more critical part, there is no need to worry.
"There are also various models on the market now, but the launch of Xingchen Motors' large SUV is likely to lead to a boom in large SUVs."
"I heard that both Great Wall Motors and Changan Automobile are developing 7-seat SUVs, and we are ready to enter at any time in the future."
"So when building a new factory, we need to consider compatibility with different models."
"We don't want the production line that will be built by then to produce only some small cars."
Li Su's reminder is not without purpose.
Although the production lines of various car companies are basically flexible production lines, they can produce many models.
But this does not mean that all models can be produced.
Take the production line that produces Chery QQ, for example. If a model of this level is brought over, there is a high probability that it will not be produced.
In some work stations, conflicts will occur directly.
"Looking up at the current reputation, they are indeed very famous. They have broadened everyone's horizons and made them aware of the hot prospects of the 7-seater SUV market segment."
"You can rest assured that our new factory planning has taken this demand into consideration. As long as the models are within 5.2 meters, they can be produced normally, but the pace will be different."
Hou Liang and Li Su continued to report on the situation of the new factory, and the overall atmosphere was still very good.
As long as a company's business is booming, many things will become easier.
On the contrary, once the situation is bad, many simple problems will become complicated.
For the people in Shanghai, this year will be difficult.
At this time, they are holding this year's supplier conference, and the atmosphere is quite serious.
"Xue, last year we received a new batch of bearing orders from Modu Volkswagen, but the overall turnover has not increased much compared to last year."
As the general manager of SKF, Holm naturally came to participate in the supplier conference of Volkswagen in Shanghai today.
However, throughout 2006, although Volkswagen launched some new models, its annual sales only increased by more than 10,000 units.
This growth rate is definitely at the bottom among all mainstream car companies.
Obviously, the development of Magic City Volkswagen in China is in trouble.
"The biggest orders we received last year came from the Santana and Passat models, but sales of both models have declined."
"Especially for the Passat, its sales have been cut in half, and it has not been on the list of monthly sales exceeding 10,000 for several months."
"The most troublesome thing is that Passat's sales seem to be continuing to decline. This is not good news for us."
"The subject Santana, because the model is relatively old, the styling does not have any advantages compared with the same level of models of China's own brands."
"So sales have started to decline since the beginning of this year, and the decline has accelerated in the past two months."
Xue Wenqiang is very familiar with the situation of the people in Magic City.
Volkswagen was once their largest customer in the automotive industry.
This is still the case.
However, he is obviously not optimistic about the future of the Magic City public.
"Didn't China's automobile market increase by 30% last year?"
"How come Volkswagen's Passat and Santana have declined so sharply?"
In fact, Golm had the answer in mind. After all, he had seen news such as the Passat's crash test.
It's just hard to accept this situation in my heart.
Xue Wenqiang naturally knew that Holmer knew the answer, but he still had to answer the boss's question.
"The reputation of Huaxia's own brands has increased very rapidly in the past two years. The previous situation where the power was not good, the quality was not good, and the appearance was not good-looking is gone forever."
"Throughout 2006, the market share of China's self-owned brand car companies has increased significantly. According to this trend, it is estimated that in three to five years, the market share of self-owned brands will be on an equal footing with joint venture car companies."
"Holm, I think the company's business in China is likely to shrink further in the future."
"Independent brand car companies either use Nanshan bearings or products from local companies such as universal bearings or Renben bearings."
"It's hard for us to compete with them."
Xue Wenqiang said this, naturally hoping that Holm would not set such high performance goals for himself in 2007.
Otherwise, life would be very difficult.
For the sales manager of a European and American supplier, his income is clearly linked to his performance.
On the contrary, the sales of Japanese parts supply basically play the role of a merchandiser.
Whether they get new orders or how their turnover changes has nothing to do with their wages.
At most, when the company-wide year-end bonuses change, they will change with them.
"Five years ago, Volkswagen's market share in China was as high as 40%, but now it is less than half."
"If this continues, our situation in China will indeed become more and more difficult."
"I just don't know if the situation will change after Volkswagen's new generation models are launched one after another."
Holm also looked sad.
This life is not easy.
Of course, the entire automotive industry is growing, and certainly not all manufacturers are like SKF. .
The situation at Yangcheng Huaqiang Factory is completely different.
"Brother, it seems that we are right to allocate more resources to independent brand car companies. Last year, the revenue contributed by car companies such as Great Wall Motors and BYD Auto increased by 40%."
"On the contrary, the people of Magic City, who had high hopes before, made very little contribution."
Hot stamping parts have now begun to become a solution that many car companies are considering.
The people of Magic City are naturally no exception.
Their first models used hot stamped parts provided by BENTELER.
But the price of Benteler was too high, so some parts were given to the Yangcheng Huaqiang Factory to produce.
Even when Nanshan Group's parts were removed last year, the Yangcheng Huaqiang Factory was not greatly affected.
"It's true. Volkswagen will only have two new cars next year, the Skoda Octavia and the Cross Polo. Neither of these two cars looks like they can be mass-produced."
"But the sales of Passat and Santana, which were once the mainstays of sales, have been declining."
"I estimate that Volkswagen's sales next year will not only fail to grow, but may actually decline."
"When they have inquiries for new projects in the future, we don't have to deliberately quote low prices just to get orders."
"Let's ask the other party about Benteler's cost. Then we just need to be a little lower than Benteler's cost."
"It's best if you can get the order. If you can't get it, forget it."
Guo Shuyin is very aware of the conflict between Volkswagen and Nanshan Group.
In this case, although he would not directly stop doing business with Volkswagen, the idea of providing low-priced parts would definitely not exist.
Anyway, the quality of their parts will not be worse than Benteler's, and he will have the confidence to get more orders from other customers.
In the entire country, only Benteler and Yangcheng Fuqiang Factory are currently able to mass-produce and supply hot stamping parts.
Other manufacturers with strong production capabilities are either still observing or just guarding their own territory.
For example, Spring City Fourth Ring Factory and Spring City Stamping Factory basically rely on Spring City Automobile Group for their livelihood.
The hot stamping production lines and molds they introduced from Nanshan Group are currently serving the group's customers.
"Yeah, that's what I thought too."
"The last time I chatted with Minister Zeng Tingting, she was more optimistic about the prospects of Changan Automobile."
"Changan Automobile also wants to invite us to invest in a hot stamping molding factory in Shuangqing City."
"Brother, I think we should go there after the Spring Festival to have a good communication with Changan Automobile."
"If they can guarantee the order demand for our new factory, I think it is not impossible to invest and build a factory there."
"The logistics cost savings alone will make a car worth at least dozens of dollars."
When Guo Shufu said this, Guo Shuyin agreed without much hesitation.
Among the major domestic independent brand car companies, in addition to companies related to Spring City Automobile Group, the others are mainly Great Wall, Chery, Geely, BYD, Changan, etc.
Today, the Yangcheng Fuqiang Factory has a factory next to Great Wall Motors, as well as factories in the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta.
It would be more appropriate to set up a factory in the southwest region.
At that time, not only will it be supplied to Shuzhou, but it will also be supplied to Xifeng Group, which will be relatively close.
…
Buyers can often directly feel changes in suppliers' attitudes.
At the banquet that night, Li Jianfeng felt the impact of the company's poor prospects from the attitude and content of the toasts from various manufacturers.
"Bu Defan, at the Volkswagen headquarters, are you considering launching more global models?"
"Especially for SUV models, I think the market demand is growing."
With some drunkenness, Li Jianfeng came directly to Bu Defan and started to complain.
"Li, don't worry, the headquarters has adequate planning."
When Bu Defan said this, he felt guilty in his heart.
Although Volkswagen makes a lot of money from China every year, it really doesn't take Chinese consumers too seriously.
The most typical one is Spring City Volkswagen, Jetta, Bora, Sagitar, and New Bora. These are four generations living under the same roof.
In Germany, these models are just different generations of Jetta.
But when it comes to China, outdated products are constantly being sold.
Volkswagen really doesn't do that well in this regard.
"Plan? The plan of Volkswagen headquarters is to give the new Passat to Spring City Volkswagen and continue to sell it under the name Magotan?"
"Then after replacing several parts of our own Passat with hot stamping, we think we can continue to sell it?"
"Not to mention similar products from China's independent brand car companies, including GM's Excelle, Toyota's Camry, Ford's Mondeo, and Nissan's Altima, we can't beat them."
"If this continues, let alone achieve 20% growth in 2007, it will be very difficult to maintain sales without declining."
Li Jianfeng's words definitely came from his heart.
In his opinion, the situation this year is very serious.
As Volkswagen's real and only new product this year, the Skoda Octavia will not be launched until the second quarter of this year.
In other words, Modu Volkswagen will largely rely on its original products to compete in the market this year.
So after surviving 2007, it became the main tone for the people in Shanghai.
The key is that Li Jianfeng feels that he can't survive it.
"Li, the Olympics are getting closer and closer. Volkswagen will join forces with its two partners in China to fully promote its products."
"I believe that even the current old models can bring great appeal to Chinese consumers."
"There is still hope that sales will continue to rise by then."
What Bu Defan said is, to a certain extent, what many people in the German public think.
In the past two decades, Volkswagen has not launched a few truly new models in China.
But isn’t it also good?
Even now, there are so many automobile companies in China, and the sales volume of North and South Volkswagen is still firmly ranked first in the market.
At most, the advantages are not that obvious.
"impossible!"
"If Volkswagen does not launch several new competitive models, China's number one position will soon be taken away by GM and even China's own brand car companies."
"Look at BYD, Great Wall Motors, and Changan Automobile. What new models have they launched or will launch in the past few years?"
"If the situation changes faster, maybe after 2007, North and South Volkswagen will not be able to find their shadow among the top three car companies in China, let alone maintain the market number one."
Li Jianfeng drank a lot of wine tonight.
So what I say is naturally more direct and more numerous.
Fortunately, other colleagues quickly pulled him away, otherwise Bu Defan would have been beaten to the point of being unable to step down.
Even so, what Li Jianfeng said was heard by many people.
A sense of sadness hung over the dinner venue of the Volkswagen Supplier Conference in Shanghai.
…
"Mr. Cao, are you really not going to attend any of the OEM's supplier conferences this year?"
In Nanshan Group, although it is already winter, the temperature is not low at all.
Cao Yang stayed in the office and was unwilling to attend various conferences.
Even Nanshan Group's own supplier conference was not held at all.
"If you go to the East's house or not to the West's house, people still have opinions, so just don't go at all."
"As long as you go on behalf of the company, if that doesn't work, just ask Mr. Rao to go with you."
Cao Yang participated in many supplier conferences in the first year of Xingchen Automobile's establishment.
The purpose is not to let customers have any special ideas.
Now that Xingchen Automobile has been established for several years, this worry is naturally no longer necessary.
"The joint venture car company may not have any special ideas about whether you participate in the supplier conference."
"But some independent brand car companies actually hope that you can participate."
When Zeng Tingting said this, Cao Yang could understand the reason.
Nanshan Group's current cooperation with its own brands is obviously closer, while its cooperation with other joint venture car companies is getting worse.
Not to mention Japanese car companies such as Yangcheng Toyota and Yangcheng Honda, and their relationship with Volkswagen has also broken down.
As for Mercedes-Benz and BMW, it has never been easy from beginning to end.
"Our star sports car will be on the market soon, and the research and development work of Star 4 is also in full swing."
"Besides, at the end of every year, every company has a bunch of summary meetings to hold."
"Our group's summary meeting will also be held next week, and we don't have that much time to attend various retreat meetings now."
Cao Yang's attitude is relatively firm.
If you say you won't go, you won't go.
For example, for some retreat meetings held by government departments, he may still need to check whether to attend based on the situation.
For example, he has no interest in supplier conferences held by OEMs.
In the past two years, Cao Yang has not even participated in some award ceremonies.
Why would you go to such a meeting?
Just like CATL in later generations, as a leader in the domestic battery industry, it supplies almost all major OEMs.
But how many times have you seen Boss Zeng attend a customer’s supplier conference?
That is to visit someone else's factory. If you are not of a high level, you will not have the chance to see the person's boss.
Nanshan Group does have some meaning in it now.
"That's true."
"Last year, the domestic automobile market changed a lot, especially the development of independent brands."
"We really need to take this situation into account and carefully consider our future development strategy."
When Cao Yang mentioned the Nanshan Group's summary meeting next week, Zeng Tingting immediately stopped worrying about the supplier conference.
As the head of the sales department, she also had a lot to report at the summary meeting.
"Last year we worked with various independent brands to promote Nanshan engines and Nanshan gearboxes, and it seems to have had a certain effect."
"In JD Power's various evaluation indices, the performance of independent brands has improved very quickly."
When Cao Yang said this, Zeng Tingting immediately thought of an article from Autohome.
JD Power is a provider of consumer insights, market research and consulting, data and analytics services.
JD Power collects consumer feedback information from users on many products and services.
JD Power has gained high recognition in the global business community in terms of automobile user satisfaction index, and its survey and research capabilities in the global and domestic automobile industries are second to none.
Although many consumers actually don't care much about this thing, the OEMs themselves do.
Sometimes these evaluation results are even used as a publicity stunt.
"In terms of new car quality study (IQS), I think three of the top ten are products of independent brand car companies."
"BYD's S6, Geely Emgrand and Great Wall's H6 are all among them."
"This is something that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago."
"Here, our engine and gearbox have also made a big contribution."
"At that time, some of the sales department's introduction materials can also be updated based on this information."
Zeng Tingting is very smart. When Cao Yang mentioned JD Power, she immediately connected it with her business.
Although Nanshan engines and Nanshan gearboxes are now easy to sell, there is no harm in having a better reputation.
"IQS is basically the most important item among various evaluation indicators. It is indeed a good thing that independent brands can continue to improve."
"We can unite with various OEMs to see which problems in IQS projects can be improved for them."
"Maybe there are some new order opportunities here."
When Cao Yang said this, Zeng Tingting's eyes immediately lit up.
Why hadn't I thought of this idea before?
Negating the original supplier in terms of quality allowed Nanshan Group to enter more parts production.
This is definitely a good thing.
"When you say that, I really have some impressions."
"Not to mention other parts, there seems to be a lot of articles that can be done on the hollow stabilizer bar alone."
"All other parts are also worthy of further expansion of the market."
"Many of our products are very competitive, but many customers still didn't use them due to various reasons."
Buying and selling auto parts is not as simple and casual as going to the wet market to buy meat.
Many times, this involves a series of simultaneous developments and some strategic considerations.
It even involves related transactions of some automobile groups.
Just like the springs and stabilizer bars of the affiliated companies of Modu Automobile Group, most of them are produced by Huaxia Spring Factory.
This supplier is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Modu Automobile Group.
Therefore, even if Huaxia Spring Factory is inferior to its competitors in terms of price or technology, companies such as Modu Volkswagen, Modu General Motors and Modu Auto Passenger Cars will continue to use each other.
Similar situations exist for many other parts.
"New parts business, new equipment business, and new model sales are the three most important businesses of the group next year."
"Next week's summary meeting will also focus on this direction."
"You go back and tidy things up first."
Cao Yang's words basically meant seeing off guests.
Zeng Tingting was naturally very smart and did not stay any longer.
Cao Yang, who stayed in the office, was immediately arranged to attend another meeting by Mi Ying.
"Mr. Cao, the technical solution for our 10AT automatic transmission has been basically finalized."
"Judging from the current simulation situation, there is no big problem."
"The next step is to start the early trial production phase to see if there are any other problems."
"Then a series of tests are carried out to verify whether each function meets the design requirements."
"If everything goes well, we hope to enter the stage of small batch production by the end of 2007."
"When a special production factory is built next year, we can enter large-scale production."
The 10AT project of Nanshan Transmission has been established for some time.
Ji Hua naturally came up with a lot of technical solutions.
After several months of evaluation and screening, the next step plan was initially clear.
This time, Cao Yang did not directly participate in the research and development of 10AT, but asked Ji Hua to lead his own people.
Although it takes a little more time, it is not meaningless at all.
"In the past one or two years, 8AT will basically be enough."
“The 10AT products can be installed on our Ziweixing and Yangwang products when they are upgraded.”
"So you still have enough time to do the relevant verification work."
"We will also combine the research and development progress of other gearbox manufacturers to promptly consider whether to install it on the car in advance."
Sometimes the more advanced the technology, the better.
To run a business, you must make money.
If the old technology has not made enough money, the new technology sometimes does not necessarily need to be launched so early.
But the research on new technologies cannot wait.
Otherwise, things will not go smoothly if others seize the opportunity.
"I understand, so this year we are also planning to arrange people to study CVT gearboxes. Some low-end domestic models still have demand for CVT gearboxes."
"At the same time, the gearbox used in our hybrid models is also in progress."
"At that time, we will further strengthen cooperation with Nanshan Engine and strive to produce more products this year."
Ji Hua has been working with Cao Yang for several years, so he naturally knows Cao Yang's work style.
So in many cases, he can understand what he needs to do with just one sentence.
"If customers have demand for CVT, then we can produce CVT."
"However, Volkswagen is now mainly promoting dual-clutch transmission, and you still need to do research on the differences with DSG gearboxes."
"Lest people attack our automatic transmission from some tricky angles."
Cao Yang is relatively clear about the future technological development directions of various domestic car companies.
For example, Japanese car companies will basically use CVT continuously variable transmissions in the future.
However, Volkswagen's European and American models will slowly take the road of dual clutch.
There are still relatively few companies that have been adopting 6AT or 5AT.
Of course, there will always be models that require 8AT or 9AT.
With 8AT as an option, consumers definitely don’t want a CVT.
"I will arrange for someone to do a disassembly analysis when the time comes, and we will work with Autohome to publish some technical evaluation articles."
Ji Hua now also knows how to use Autohome as a promotional window.
They have professional technicians, and Autohome has a dedicated car dismantling workshop to provide opportunities for display of these professional comparison contents.
Anyway, ordinary readers don’t know that Nanshan Transmission helped organize these things. They think Autohome is so awesome.
"This is also a method. Technical matters are sometimes a matter of public opinion offensive."
"As long as we guide public opinion well, many things can be changed."
"You can even communicate with people from Autohome and attack models using non-AT gearboxes on some forums."
"If you provide some technical support, it may have unexpected effects."
Cao Yang also gave Ji Hua some tricks.
Technology is the core of Nanshan Group.
But in addition to technology, publicity also needs to keep up.
Otherwise, it will be easy to suffer a loss.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
With Cao Yang's approval, Ji Hua naturally went ahead and did it.
Next, Pan Jinxing, who was in charge of the equipment, also gave Cao Yang another report.
"So many manufacturers want to enter the field of hot stamping?"
Pan Jinxing reported to Cao Yang today about the sales of hot stamping equipment.
Until now, apart from the Yangcheng Huaqiang Factory, Nanshan Group's hot stamping equipment has only been sold to several companies such as Chuncheng Fourth Ring Factory, Chuncheng Stamping Factory, and Xifeng Die Stamping.
Other manufacturers have not yet released sales.
Obviously, Pan Jinxing now wants to discuss with Cao Yang whether to completely liberalize the sales of hot stamping equipment in the future.
"Throughout 2006, there were many hot-stamping incidents due to various collision problems. Whether it was Volkswagen, General Motors and Ford, or domestic car companies such as Chery, Geely and Great Wall, they all increased their efforts in hot stamping on new models. Use of molded parts.”
"But the only manufacturers with mass production results on the market now are Benteler and Yangcheng Huaqiang Stamping Factory."
"This naturally allows many other manufacturers to see opportunities."
"Even if the hot stamping forming lines of several suppliers such as Spring City Fourth Ring Factory have started trial production in small batches, there is no way to meet future production capacity needs."
Cao Yang could understand what Pan Jinxing said.
After all, the initiator of using hot stamping molded parts to make a fuss is Cao Yang.
"The development trend of hot stamping parts has taken shape, and this should be something that many manufacturers have already seen."
"In this case, these manufacturers must be very determined to enter the field of hot stamping."
"If we don't sell the equipment, they will consider importing it from abroad, but the cost will be higher."
"Rather than ceding the equipment market to AP&T, Schwarz and Benteler, we should make money ourselves."
"Of course, the prices must be appropriately differentiated. When it's time to make money, don't be polite."
When Cao Yang said this, Pan Jinxing breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really worried that Cao Yang would not agree. It would be a pity to see five or six hot stamping parts production lines unable to accept orders.
"That's natural!"
"As long as our equipment is 20% cheaper than imported equipment, that's basically enough."
"It's too low and it's not necessary."
"And after our equipment is sold, it can bring more orders to Nanshan Mold, and the chain reaction will be considerable."
Pan Jinxing has obviously made a full analysis of the situation of these orders.
He suggested that selling equipment would be beneficial to the group.
As for whether this will cause damage to the interests of Yangcheng Huaqiang Factory, there is no way.
After all, Nanshan Group only owns 30% of the shares of Huaqiang Factory.
"Some people have taken a fancy to the prospects of hot stamping molding, so naturally some people have taken a fancy to the prospects of hot stamping molds."
"At that time, let He Qingquan also pay attention to see what technical personnel have been lost recently."
"You should sign the non-competition agreement, don't be polite."
Cao Yang is willing to treat employees well and provide everyone with good treatment and prospects.
But there is no need to be polite to employees who eat everything in.
A non-competition agreement may not mean much to small companies.
When big companies poach people, there must be ways to avoid these agreements.
But for big companies, if they take it seriously, it will be different.
"To produce hot stamping molds, you need to use a five-axis CNC machine tool. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to process the water channel in the mold."
"We are the only one in China that can produce this kind of machine tools."
"And if you buy it from abroad, sometimes you don't have the money to buy it."
"Even if it is really available, the price will be several times ours."
“This alone makes it impossible for them to reduce the cost of hot stamping molds.”
"Besides, in addition to technology and equipment, we also have special steel."
"A large part of the special steel used in hot stamping molds can only be produced by Nanshan Special Steel."
Pan Jinxing's words were full of confidence.
This is no nonsense.
Having mastered the advantages of the industrial chain, as long as Nanshan Group is serious about it, it is really not something that ordinary companies can match.
"It depends on the situation. We at Nanshan Mold cannot possibly take all orders for hot stamping molds."
"It's not completely unacceptable to place some orders appropriately."
"Of course, it also depends on everyone's cooperative relationship. We need to find manufacturers with whom we have a tacit understanding to cooperate."
Cao Yang has strong opinions on the matter of monopoly.
But if this happened to Nanshan Group, it would be his favorite.
Domestic antitrust laws, but until the time of his rebirth, had not affected the auto parts industry.
There is no need to worry at all in the short term.
Of course, when domestic companies see money-making business, they will rush forward no matter what.
In this case, it is still difficult to satisfy the monopoly in the legal sense.
After all, when there are several competitors in the market, even if they are weak, you can't say that I have a monopoly, right?
I send you 20,000 words, please vote for me~
