Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 139 This time, it's Schuler's turn to cry out for pain (two in one)

No matter what country or job you are in, hard work does not necessarily mean you will get a promotion and a raise.

You work hard every day and do your job beautifully without complaint, and your credit is often not as great as doing a personal matter for the leader.

Of course, if you are a monster with a background, it's another matter.

Thomas, who is already in his 40s, has clearly understood these things.

Now that Chris has given him the opportunity of promotion and salary increase, he must seize it.

Anyway, whether it's Shuler or Aida, it's not his family's business.

Even these press manufacturers refused to take the initiative to invite him to have a meal.

Do you still need to worry about it?

"Tang, which of these three manufacturers has the lowest price?"

Although he already had the answer in his heart, Thomas felt that it would be better to confirm it clearly.

Don't be embarrassed at that time and affect your prestige.

"The offer from Dongying Huitian is the highest, while the offer from Huaxia Jier and Nanshan is the lowest."

"However, although Jier and Nanshan offer the lowest quotations, their presses have not been used in any of Ford's factories."

"Given the schedule, I think Schuler might be the best fit."

As the manager who handled this matter, Tang Jiguo had dealings with three equipment manufacturers.

Among them, Shu Le and Ji Er came over several times specially to invite him to eat and drink.

From Tang Jiguo's point of view, the order for this press machine is likely to be Schuler's.

Because the people in the press shop had already given him hints.

So during this period of time, he has not been polite to participate in Schuler's dinner party.

I even received "little gifts" from several people.

Now that Thomas asked about the press bidding, he naturally wanted to say something nice for Schuler.

"Don, Ford Motor came to China and established a joint venture with Changan Automobile."

"Then we just want to do a good job in the Huaxia market, and we want to make some achievements in China."

"For the procurement department, it is our core responsibility to purchase parts and equipment that meet the requirements at a lower price."

"Since Jier and Nanshan have lower prices and can meet the bidding requirements, why can't we consider choosing to cooperate with them?"

"Huaxia people don't look down on Huaxia people themselves."

As soon as Thomas said this, Tang Jiguo's face turned red.

He really didn't look down on Ji Er and Nan Shan.

He was also very enthusiastic to invite him to dinner, but he felt that the other party was useless in his heart, so he dared not accept his favor.

So as not to cause a commotion in time.

Who knew this would be the case now?

Wouldn't it be nice to drink Wuliangye directly with Ji Er's people if he knew that he wouldn't have a meal with Shu Le?

Ji Er's people are really good too, since you guys got Thomas done, you can tell me.

Even if you don't want to say it so bluntly, you can at least hint at it.

Hello, hello, hello, everyone.

Why is it so embarrassing?

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Tang Jiguo's mind.

"Thomas, in fact, when we are considering the construction of the second phase of the stamping line, we have given priority to Jier and Nanshan."

"It's just that the schedule is tight this time, and the stamping shop feels that Schuler's equipment is more trustworthy."

"On the basis of fully respecting the opinions of the workshop, I considered whether to choose Schuler."

Tang Jiguo didn't want Thomas to think that he looked down on Huaxia's equipment manufacturers, and he didn't want him to think that he had anything to do with Schuler.

No matter what happened behind the scenes, Schuler was unpopular with Thomas, and Tang Jiguo was fully aware of this situation.

"Huaxia's enterprises produce presses locally, so shouldn't they have an advantage in terms of delivery schedule?"

Thomas didn't get angry, and continued to talk to Tang Jiguo in a good voice.

But his meaning is very obvious.

"You are right. Normally, the delivery cycle of Huaxia's enterprises must be shorter."

"However, this time Schuler also built a factory in China, and some of the presses will import components from Germany and install them in China."

"So the schedule is much faster than usual, and the gap with Jier and Nanshan is not that big."

Tang Jiguo continued to explain there.

However, Thomas didn't want to let him go so easily.

"The gap is not that big? So there is still a gap?"

"In this case, why choose an equipment manufacturer with higher cost and longer delivery cycle?"

Tang Jiguo: ...

You have finished everything, what should I say?
Tang Jiguo, who was full of remorse, took a deep breath and said, "Thomas, I fell into a misunderstanding before. I think Schuler is the press manufacturer of Ford Motor's American factory, and I think they are the most suitable equipment manufacturer."

"Now it seems that the situation in each country and region is different.

"In China, Jier and Nanshan are obviously the most suitable press manufacturers."

"I will contact various departments later and convene a meeting to finalize the bid evaluation results of the press."

Originally, Tang Jiguo didn't have any special resistance to Ji Er.

It's just that I simply feel that the other party is useless.

Now even the people from Ford Motor have no objection, why should he be this villain?

The point is that he still can't be a villain.

"Well, let's go."

"Report to me in time if there is any situation."

"It is our bounden duty to support outstanding Chinese local enterprises."

Thomas once again emphasized his meaning.

If there were any accidents like this, he would probably swallow Tang Jiguo alive.

……

Tang Jiguo moved quickly.

No hurry, he was worried that Thomas might misunderstand him.

When the time comes to be watched by the boss, life will be difficult.

Even if Changan Ford is a joint venture company, Thomas has no way to tell Tang Jiguo to leave directly, and there are many ways to put him in shoes.

If you have gained a lot of benefits, then you will wear the small shoes.

The current situation is definitely not worth it.

So the next day, the Purchasing Department of Changan Ford officially announced the bidding results with several press manufacturers.

As soon as this result came out, Schuler immediately exploded inside.

"Xu, what's going on?"

"Didn't you say that the other party has hinted that your press order is from Schuler?"

"Why is the result announced that is not the same thing?"

Lucas' face was very ugly, and he called Xu Dacheng to his office directly, and then he was output.

Xu Dacheng, who hadn't figured out the situation yet, didn't dare to refute a word.

Only intrepid explanations can be made.

"Lucas, I went to have dinner with the manager of the other party last week, and we are already discussing the specific delivery arrangements."

"We are not the ones who announced the winning bid all of a sudden now. There must be something dark about it."

Xu Dacheng is completely unclear about the situation now.

He was really surprised by this result.

For this order, Schuler and Aida have already communicated, and the other party will cooperate with him to quote a relatively high price.

In fact, the other party also kept its promise, and the price was 15% higher than that of Schuler.

But now Schuler still hasn't got the order.

"Ji Er has never supplied stamping equipment to Ford Motor. This time, he let the other party enter this field, and there will be endless troubles."

"How do you want me to report to the headquarters now?"

Thinking of the anger at the headquarters, Lucas trembled in his heart.

I am in trouble.

"I just called Changan Ford's purchasing department, and the other party just said formulaically that after comprehensive QCD evaluation, the combination of Jier and Nanshan has the most advantages, so I chose them."

"For the choice of this press, the people at Ford Motor have the greatest say."

"Unless the Ford folks let go, there's no way we'll lose the order."

"As you said, Ji Er has never provided support to Ford Motor, and they are unlikely to let Ford Motor let go."

"However, this time they came up with a cooperation project with Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd."

"I think it must be Nanshan who is behind the scenes."

Xu Dacheng used his prehistoric power in order to quickly divert the conflict.

Otherwise, his life would be difficult.

"Nanshan?"

"Nanshan again?"

"Aren't they big TDM presses that don't make body panels?"

"Why did Changan Ford choose them?"

Lucas now hates Nanshan deeply.

Because of Nanshan's appearance, he has been scolded by the headquarters many times.

Now, he directly snatched away the order that he cared about most.

Is it bearable, what is unbearable?

"You're right. Nanshan really has no experience in this area, and they just snatched a big order from Huitian some time ago, so they probably don't have the production capacity to deal with Changan Ford's order."

"So this time they cooperated with Jier. Jier is the best at this aspect. Apart from Huitian, the only press manufacturer in the world that can bring us some threats."

When it comes to professional matters, Xu Dacheng still knows a lot.

"Xu, what happened this time can't be just like this."

"We must figure out what's behind it and figure out our next plan."

"Otherwise there will be a few more such things in the future, and we will all go out."

Lucas panicked a little.

Seeing that Schuler has set up a factory in China, he is preparing to flex his muscles.

The result is...

"I'll book an afternoon flight later, and go directly to Shuangqing City to find out the situation."

Xu Dacheng felt that it was better for him to go on a business trip at this time.

It can not only reflect one's own efforts, but also hide from the storm.

……

"Aren't Nan Shan and Ji Er competitors?"

"In your Huaxia company, when your own people deal with your own people, isn't one more ruthless than one?"

"How can we work together this time?"

When Ichiro Kato said this, Liu Wenfei felt a little embarrassed.

But soon he pretended not to hear anything.

"Minister, I also felt a little strange when I heard the news."

"However, after careful analysis, it seems understandable."

"For a long time, Nanshan has focused on PRG and TRF presses, especially for PRG presses. They can also provide PRG molds at the same time, which is very popular with some manufacturers."

"In terms of large TDM presses, I haven't heard of any achievements made by Nanshan."

"Although I don't know how they got together, there must be some exchange of interests behind it."

"It's even possible that they have reached a private cooperation agreement like us and Schuler."

Seeing that Kato Ichiro did not lose his temper, Liu Wenfei was secretly relieved.

"Schuler didn't feel much pressure from Nanshan before, and he was still watching our jokes last time."

"It's all right now, everyone laughs at fifty steps, and should be able to sit down and discuss how to deal with Nanshan."

"Liu Sang, after this wave of limelight passes, you make an appointment with someone from Schuler, and we" have a good discussion to see how to get Nanshan down.

"Otherwise Nanshan is always tossing around like this, and our life will be difficult."

"Think about it carefully, what else can we do to deal with Nanshan."

Kato Ichiro felt that he should join forces with Schuler to take a ruthless measure.

The best thing is to be able to put Nanshan down!

……

"Manager Tang, thank you very much for your support to Jier and Nanshan."

"The situation this time is a bit special. I'm very sorry that I didn't fully report to you in advance."

After receiving the press order from Changan Ford, Zhang Sheng personally brought his subordinates to Shuangqing to visit Tang Jiguo.

On the other side of Nanshan, Zhang Fugui also came to join him.

"It's nothing. When we choose a supplier, we consider the performance of all aspects and choose the most suitable manufacturer."

"Your press meets the bidding requirements, and you have advantages in cost and delivery cycle. It is a matter of course to get the order."

In Tang Jiguo's heart, he actually had opinions on Jier and Nanshan.

You are related, you are amazing, you should have said earlier.

Why do you insist on changing the result when the result is clear?

It made me a little embarrassed inside the company.

"In any case, we did have some work that we didn't do well."

"What happens next, we will take the initiative to report to you, so as not to cause any misunderstanding."

Zhang Sheng knows how to behave.

Knowing the situation this time, Tang Jiguo must be a little unhappy.

Of course, deep in his heart, he had a new understanding of Nanshan.

When he learned that Ji Er had won the press order from Changan Ford, he himself couldn't believe it.

The fruits of victory seem to come a little easier.

Is Nanshan's influence on Ford Motor already so great?
For this reason, he also specifically called Cao Yang and asked around.

However, Cao Yang would definitely not tell him that he had worked with the purchasing director of Ford Motor to launch the "Toyota brake door" and the anti-monopoly investigation of auto parts.

"By the way, I remember that Nanshan seems to be exporting parts to Ford Motor headquarters, right?"

Tang Jiguo also guessed that the key to the problem this time was Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd., not Jier Machine Tool Factory.

Otherwise, Ji Er would not have been thinking of begging himself before.

"Manager Tang, let me report to you."

"Our Nanshan is now the world's most important nut plate supplier to Ford Motor, and the world's most important supplier of wheel bolts and wheel hub bearings."

"In terms of automobile bearings, we are also discussing some new cooperation."

"We also hope to have the opportunity to provide Changan Ford with high-quality and low-cost components in the future."

Although Tang Jiguo is the person in charge of equipment procurement, he will not be in charge of Nanshan's parts business in the future.

But he is in the same office as other buyers, and no one even knows when the position will be adjusted.

So naturally there is no need to offend others.

There is even a need to curry favor.

"So, your boss has a good relationship with the Ford Motor Purchasing Center?"

Tang Jiguo never understood why Thomas supported Jier and Nanshan.

After much deliberation, Nanshan could only handle Thomas's boss.

And this boss should be at the purchasing center of the headquarters.

"Our President Cao is good friends with Chris, the Director of Ford Motor Purchasing Center."

"President Cao and Director Chris met in Detroit last month."

How could Zhang Fugui miss such a good opportunity to pretend to be powerful?

Even if Cao Yang is not that familiar with Chris, Tang Jiguo should feel very familiar with him.

What's more, they are really familiar with each other.

Hearing what Zhang Fugui said, Tang Jiguo felt that he had finally figured out the situation.

Nanshan can go directly to the director of the Purchasing Center of Ford Motor Headquarters, so Thomas's change of attitude is very understandable.

For monsters with backgrounds, if you don't give them face, you don't give face to the great god behind them.

Originally, Jier Machine Tool could handle the people from Changan Automobile, but now Nanshan can handle the people from Ford Motor.

Then what kind of temper can Tang Jiguo have?
Next, Tang Jiguo's attitude improved a lot.

In the evening, everyone went out to have a meal together and sang a song.

After all kinds of services, the previous bad feelings can be regarded as overturned.
