Rebirth 05 Be a car tycoon

Chapter 22 Is this a pig teammate?

In China's auto industry in 2005, frankly speaking, the research and development capabilities of independent brands were still relatively weak.

The research and development center of each company has the title of "Tape Measure Department".

Even for the previous Nanshan Automobile, the main task of the R&D center was to imitate.

Of course, in their eyes it is imitation, in the eyes of those international giants it is plagiarism.

In the past, whether it was Geely Automobile, Miracle Automobile, or Wanli Automobile, they all focused on the hot-selling models of international mainstream companies such as Benben Automobile, Fengfeng Automobile, and Xiaozhong Automobile.

After years of hard work, they can be considered to have achieved certain results.

Seeing that 2005 is coming to an end, the light of domestic products of Nanshan Automobile is rising against the trend like a dark horse.

Soon, the primary task of the "tape department" of each OEM immediately became dismantling and analyzing the light of domestic products.

There are ready-made mass-produced models as a reference, as long as the suppliers are asked to imitate the production of the parts.

Soon, those car companies have launched models similar to the domestic light.

According to their plan, their respective new mini-cars will go on sale within the next year.

Although their plan is not as exaggerated as Nanshan Automobile's [-] units per month, no one has less than [-] units per month.

As a result, the production capacity of their production lines will soon have some bottlenecks.

In order to let the construction of the production line go ahead of the product launch, OEMs such as Geely Automobile and Wanli Automobile have also started preparations for the construction of new factories.

All of a sudden, the sales of various equipment manufacturers became extremely excited.

China's auto industry has been in a state of rapid development in recent years.

Various OEMs are constantly preparing for the construction of new factories, which makes related equipment manufacturers eat a lot.

"Kato-kun, I heard that you have received intentional orders for two 3000-ton multi-station stamping machines in the last week?"

Shota Nakazawa, who is also an equipment manufacturer, and Hiroyuki Kato drank wine at the Edo Sushi restaurant in Nancheng Xincheng and chatted about the developments in the industry.

Although both of them make equipment, but one is a stamping machine and the other is a robot hand, there is no conflict between them.

Sometimes there is even a certain cooperative relationship.

After all, changing the single-punch press to an automated production line requires the use of robots in the middle.

"This hasn't been finalized yet, it's just a preliminary communication."

In front of Nakazawa, Kato showed a rare humility.

But the smile on his face completely betrayed him.

"Huaxia people's money is really easy to earn. It feels like you don't need to work hard, and the order will fly over."

Nakazawa's words can be regarded as reaching Kato's heart.

Compared with the fierce competition in the world, although China's equipment industry also has a lot of competition, the demand is more.

Like some more advanced equipment, basically the order came just after lying down.

"That's true. Before I came to Huaxia, my impression of Huaxia was poor and backward. At that time, I was not willing to come here.

But after arriving, I found that the situation was not like that at all.

Although there are still many places that are relatively backward here, there are also many rich companies.

The most important thing is that the money here is so easy to earn.

do you know?Just a while ago, that Nanshan Automobile asked us to order a 3000-ton multi-station stamping machine.

At that time, due to some reasons, I just stuck with them.

Later, they stopped contacting us directly. At that time, I was still a little worried about whether it would have any impact on my performance next year.

Now it seems that it has no effect at all.

I guess Nanshan Automobile sees that its peers are constantly expanding production, and will soon come to beg me. "

When Kato said this, his nostrils were almost up to the sky.

After his experience with Nanshan Automobile last time, when he was negotiating with Wanli Automobile for their purchase recently, his attitude became more tough and arrogant.

However, although the other party was unhappy, his attitude was always very good.

This made Kato more confident.

"You are right, as long as they still want to use our equipment, they have to obediently correct their attitude.

But I am not as comfortable as you. There are more manufacturers who can make robotic hands than you, and the competition is much fiercer. "

When Zhongze said this, he was obviously a little envious.

No way, no matter which industry it is, monopoly business is the best way to do it.

The 3000-ton multi-station punch press of Aida Stamping is basically in a monopoly position in this segmented field.

Others' equipment is either unable to produce equipment of this tonnage, or the performance is far inferior, but the price is more expensive.

In this case, it is no wonder that Kato treats customers poorly and does not affect the order at all.

"Where is it, everyone is equally divided!"

The two looked at each other with a smile and had a drink.

……

"A stamping machine costs 5000 million yuan, isn't that too expensive?"

Inside the dream car, the final evaluation of the purchase of related equipment for the new production line is being carried out.

As an automobile company in Nanjiang Province, although Mengmeng Automobile and Nanshan Automobile are not in the same city, their response is still the fastest.

When Geely Automobile and Wanli Automobile were still dismantling the domestic product, they had already begun to arrange suppliers to prepare parts.

They even directly found individual manufacturers that supply Nanshan Automobile, and wanted to purchase related parts from them.

Even if the other party is not good at selling directly, they brought back a few samples.

Therefore, the construction progress of their new production line is also the fastest.

As an enterprise that likes to have its own factories produce the main parts, Dream Auto's demand for 3000-ton multi-station stamping machines naturally exists objectively.

Although they can also use other alternative methods to solve the problem, they heard that Nanshan Automobile's new production line plans to install this kind of equipment, and they plan to keep up.

Otherwise, when the media is invited to visit the production line in the future, the level will be lowered out of thin air.

"Boss Huang, 5000 million is just the cost of the equipment itself, plus some peripheral accessories, it will basically cost 6000 million to get it.

We also went to find out about this price privately, and it is relatively close to what some other suppliers purchased.

However, since this is the latest generation of our products, the price is a little higher. "

Qin Hanming, the head of the Purchasing Department of Dream Car, was also a little bit aggrieved.

He can swear to God that his hands and feet are absolutely clean in this purchase business.

Not to mention taking advantage of the other party, he almost didn't take the initiative to ask others to give him priority in supplying goods.

Of course, the other party didn't mean to express anything.

"This equipment is all imported from Toyo. It should be inconvenient for after-sales. Is there no substitute product in China?"

Mr. Huang is still a person with a lot of family and country feelings. If he can find a domestic manufacturer to do it with less money, he is definitely willing to support it.

"Other stamping equipment in our production line is assigned to domestic manufacturers. But this kind of multi-station stamping machine, let alone 3000 tons, even if it is 1500 tons, is not well done in China."

After saying this, the meeting room immediately fell silent.

However, in the end, Mr. Huang was very helpless and could only agree.

"Then sign the contract with them as soon as possible, so as not to delay the construction progress of the production line."
