Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 350 Dew point muscles come out, let everyone know that Nanshan Group is not easy to mess with,
Vondel has been a bit of a headache recently.

Some news about the Passat from Huaxia reached Germany somehow.

That poor performance reminded many people of the collision between Audi TT and Ziweixing some time ago.

All of a sudden, Volkswagen's stock price fell by five or six points.

Chairman Piëch even called him himself to ask him what was going on.

This made him very embarrassed.

After being scolded for a while, he naturally vented his anger on the Germans in Shanghai.

After a series of actions, many people were unlucky.

"Bu Defan, it's unbelievable that your purchasing department can import this kind of unauthorized replacement of steel plates without any honest suppliers."

As the person in charge of the quality management department, Hassan naturally didn't want to take on this responsibility alone.

In his view, the procurement department has a greater responsibility for this matter.

So even if Bu Defan had a good relationship with him, he still jumped out and accused the purchasing department of making mistakes.

"Whether the parts delivered by the supplier meet the drawing requirements is something that the Quality Management Department needs to confirm."

"Besides, when new suppliers were introduced, the quality management department also reviewed the supplier's quality management system."

"The various departments think that they meet the conditions before finally importing them in."

"Our procurement department just compared the cost advantages."

At this time, Bu Defan couldn't control his friendship with Hassan for many years.

In the workplace, the friendship between colleagues usually seems indestructible, but when there is a conflict of interest, all the friendship will be torn as easily as a piece of paper.

This principle is the same whether it is in China or Germany.

"Before the Purchasing Department invites the Quality Management Department to conduct an inspection, it's not just as simple as comparing prices."

"Your preliminary investigation report clearly shows that the supplier's QCD meets the company's requirements in all aspects."

"If purchasing work is simply comparing prices, isn't it possible for anyone who has graduated from junior high school to do it?"

Dr. Hassan was obviously very dissatisfied with Bu Defan's answer.

Doesn't this mean that all responsibilities must be shifted to the quality management department?
Although he knew that no matter how this matter was explained, the quality management department must be responsible.

However, the responsibility of a department is obviously different from the responsibility of everyone.

The way it is handled above will also be different.

The two of them immediately quarreled at the regular meeting of the German resident staff in Shanghai.

However, arguing obviously can't solve the problem.

"The steel plate of the A-pillar will be replaced with a hot-stamped steel plate immediately."

"Let Bentler make the mold as soon as possible, and strive to minimize the impact of this matter in the shortest possible time."

"As for this supplier who replaced the steel plate without authorization, they transferred all their parts to other manufacturers for production."

"Don't cooperate with them again in the future."

Vondel made a decision with a dark face.

However, Bu Defan's words made him very upset.

"The equipment between different manufacturers is not exactly the same, and it takes time to make molds."

"If the supplier is notified directly in such a blunt manner, then it is very likely that they will cut off the supply to us directly."

"Then the entire Shanghai Volkswagen factory will stop production."

"Is it better to get other suppliers ready for replacement first, and then deal with this supplier?"

Bu Defan didn't want to make any more supply problems.

Otherwise, the pressure on him will be even greater.

Judging from the current situation, the greater responsibility lies with the quality management department.

But if you take too much action against suppliers, disasters will eventually emerge from the purchasing department.

Even whether these suppliers will jump out and "bite people" directly, he has no idea.

After all, there are some unspoken rules, which he is also clear about.

"Then do as you said, and switch over the parts of this manufacturer in three months."

Vondel is now thinking of reducing the impact of this matter as soon as possible.

However, the more anxious he was, the more opponents like Geely and Nanshan didn't want to make them happy.

"Mr. Cao, I have inquired with Li Jianfeng from Shanghai Volkswagen that the Passat's performance is partly because the steel plate of the A-pillar itself is not as strong as the overseas version."

"On the other hand, in order to reduce costs, their suppliers privately used steel plates with lower strength."

"So there is this collision result."

"Now they are also planning to find Benteler to purchase hot stamping parts to replace the original cold stamping parts."

"At the same time, the parts of the supplier that caused the trouble will be switched out one after another."

Zeng Tingting has been the head of the sales department for so many years, and the relationship with the procurement of various OEMs is naturally extraordinary.

Simply asking for some information is still no problem.

"Think of a way to disclose this solution of the public in Shanghai to that supplier."

"Then let them bite to death and say that the steel plates they use meet the requirements of the drawings."

"At that time, the public in Shanghai will be different from what they say. No matter which statement consumers believe, it will be a harm to the public in Shanghai."

Now Cao Yang naturally wished that the troubles of the people of Shanghai would be as great as possible.

In this way, Volkswagen's brand power continues to decline in China, which is a good thing for public and private purposes.

The self-owned brand at this time, due to the reasons of Nanshan Group, has a much better reputation than in history.

At least there are no problems with the engine and gearbox, and everyone will have less worries about buying their own brands.

Some other minor glitches, everyone is still not so worried.

"Autohome has already bought a Passat from overseas in the fastest way, and will directly arrange a collision test with the Passat in China."

"This news, I think it can be released in advance?"

"At that time, let everyone know that Nanshan Group is not so easy to mess with."

Zeng Tingting came up with a new trick quite unexpectedly.

If this kind of conspiracy is released, it will definitely be on the hot search.

"Okay, just take this opportunity to rule out those joint venture car companies that always like to lower their configuration after arriving in China."

If Volkswagen wants to use Nanshan Group as a "chicken" to kill, Cao Yang must do something.

Without showing any muscle, everyone thought Nanshan Group was easy to bully.

Sure enough, when this news was put on Autohome, Volkswagen was in a hurry.

"The A-pillar and B-pillar of the Passat in the United States already use hot-stamped parts. If you compare it with the Passat produced in China, even if there is no supplier to replace the steel plate, the strength of the body is still very different."

"At that time, there will definitely be a very big upsurge of public opinion within Huaxia, which will be very unfavorable to us."

"What advice do you all have?"

Vondel is in a very bad mood now, but he is working hard to calm himself down.

"Autohome is the most influential auto media in China. It is an industry of Nanshan Group. Obviously, this is Nanshan Group's revenge on us."

When Bu Defan said this, many people couldn't help but nodded.

Everyone knows about the grievances between Volkswagen and Nanshan Group.

One after another, the parts supplied by Nanshan Group to Shanghai Volkswagen and Spring City Volkswagen have almost been switched.

As for the parts for export, Volkswagen has prepared some stocks by itself, and now it has completely stopped placing orders with Nanshan Group.

The relationship between the two parties can be said to have broken down.

"What's more troublesome now is that in addition to the unfavorable news about us that is often published on Autohome, there are also negative news about us on Weibo from time to time. "

"And this Weibo is said to have a very close relationship with Nanshan Group."

"In this case, the publicity aspect is very bad for us."

"Is it possible to consider asking our joint venture party to help?"

The people in the sales department felt the most direct pressure, so they proposed a solution that seemed more effective.

"Chuncheng Automobile Group is now working with Nanshan Group to develop the Hongqi sedan, which belongs to the honeymoon period of the relationship between the two parties."

"And they also have a joint venture with Toyota, and the market performance is not bad."

"Under the circumstances, it's hard to expect them to make a big effort."

"As for Modu Automobile Group, their self-owned brands are also cooperating with Nanshan Group, and I heard that the cooperation between them has a tendency to further expand recently."

"Under such circumstances, it may not be realistic to rely on the power of the Modu Automobile Group."

As soon as Bu Defan said this, many people fell silent.

When they chose their partners, they made a good choice.

Ordinary things don't need them to worry about.

But this time it was a hard stubble.

"Anyway, this crash test can't let them mess around."

"At least it can't be done in an official organization, or our reputation will be completely damaged in the future."

After hearing everyone's analysis, Vondel felt dizzy for a while.

"The models in China and the models in foreign countries use different materials, different configurations, and different powers. This is not the only way for Volkswagen to do this."

"There is one domestic joint venture car company, and none of them is an exception."

"I even heard that some car companies directly divide the market into several levels. Europe, North America and Japan are one level, and other places in Asia are one level."

"And some models exported to Africa and other regions are of another level."

"Now that Autohome wants to hold on to us, we can drag all other car companies into the water."

"At that time, everyone will stand up against the proposals of Autohome, which will make Autohome feel the pressure."

"Or even if the final impact is bad, it's not just our family that is bad."

"When everyone is doing this, Huaxia consumers have no other choice."

"Our approach will be a market-compliant approach."

Although Hassan is concerned with quality, it's not that he has no scheming.

This time, his proposal was very supported by Vondel.

"This proposal is good and has strong execution."

"From today, the sales department will follow this direction to contact some media and advertising companies, and even organize some personnel to go to various forums to promote it."

"We want everyone to know that Volkswagen has not been sorry to Chinese consumers. We just did what all auto companies would do."

With Vondel's decision, soon, various topics about cars on Huaxia's Internet increased.

All kinds of articles from a new perspective to whitewash Volkswagen appeared in various places one after another.

Autohome, which is always paying attention to the changes in public opinion on the Internet, naturally felt the changes immediately.

"Mr. Cao, judging from our current analysis, Volkswagen's solution is to pull other car companies into the water."

"Although self-owned brands have developed rapidly in recent years, the domestic auto market is still dominated by joint venture auto giants."

"All kinds of media rely heavily on the advertising of these car companies."

"If Volkswagen really makes Toyota, Honda, GM, Ford, Hyundai and other car companies go out together, then if our test continues, it will easily offend a group of people."

"Of course, other car companies know our conflict with Volkswagen, so they should be able to understand our approach."

"The relationship between everyone will not be reduced too much."

Yu Yu immediately reported to Cao Yang what the Autohome had learned.

Cao Yang did not plan to list Autohome easily. One of the reasons is that there is a department within Autohome that is responsible for tracking and guiding some public opinions on the Internet.

Not to mention the number of sailors that this department has on the Internet, the number of employees within the department alone exceeds 200.

This is relatively rare among Internet companies in China.

"Volkswagen thinks that we will succumb if we attract other car companies. We really think too much."

"This time, if our Nanshan Group does not do something, other car companies will change their attitude towards us in the future."

"Regardless of how Volkswagen responds, our tests, these comparative reports, must continue."

"I even took this opportunity to open a new section on Autohome, which is responsible for comparing the prices and configurations of similar models at home and abroad."

"At that time, we will focus on choosing Volkswagen's models for comparison."

"At the same time, our car dismantling workshop is also launched as a plate."

"As long as it is a model sold and produced by Volkswagen in China, we will buy it back and disassemble it."

"Then compare it with other models in the same category."

"At that time, I don't believe that the weakness of Volkswagen will not be found."

When Cao Yang said this, Yu Yu immediately became excited.

Such a big move means that Autohome will invest a lot in the car dismantling workshop.

This is definitely a good thing for the company's development and growth.

However, Yu Yu is happy, and some car companies are about to be unhappy.
