Smart Industrial Empire

"Mr. Peng, you are welcome to inspect the work!" Seeing the middle and high-level executives who brought more than ten Wanyou CNC equipment companies to the capital for inspection, Liu Cheng smiled at Peng who had just come out of the airport. Said.

"President Liu is too polite, how dare you greet them in person!" Peng Zhi never expected that Liu Cheng, the general manager of Capital One, would bring someone to greet them in person at the airport.

"It should be, if it weren't for Wanyou, our company would have to lay off workers!" Liu Cheng said to Peng Zhi seriously.

Since the 90s, with the rise of small factories in various places, the market for capital equipment such as general milling and bullhead planers has gradually shrunk due to many factors such as bloated institutions, aging products, and high production costs.

In recent years, although there have been some profits, it is still sluggish.

Especially after the establishment of Jiuyi Heavy Industry, China's domestic CNC milling began to completely replace general milling and bullhead planers, especially bullhead planers. The function is not strong enough, the cost is high, and the rough machining efficiency of products is far inferior to general milling. , not to mention the accuracy.

If it weren't for Capital Yiji's large and heavy-duty gantry milling equipment, there would be few competitors in the domestic market, especially the CNC milling machine that was later developed under the pressure of Jiuyi Heavy Industry. There is no shortage of consumers.

Perhaps they, like other large state-owned equipment factories, have long been unable to persist.

But now, Jiuyi Heavy Industry has expanded the production scale of CNC milling and machining centers in an all-round way, and companies such as Northern Heavy Industry have invested heavily in cutting processing equipment, making the life of Capital Yiji very difficult.

Originally, there was a great opportunity to cooperate with Jiuyi Heavy Industry, but this opportunity was completely lost by the secretary who relied on his family background to dictate the company's operations, which worsened the relationship between Capital One Machinery and Jiuyi Heavy Industry.

The market is depressed, and the profit of the product is reduced.Capital Yiji had to enter the layoff process.

At this time, Taiwan's Wanyou CNC Group extended an olive branch to Capital Yiji. The production of mechanical parts for 4000 sets of CNC machining centers per month, with an operating income of more than [-] million, has made the North Machine Tool Factory have sufficient profits. To feed those skilled workers who should have been laid off.

In the past few years, many domestic state-owned enterprises have begun large-scale layoffs or went bankrupt directly. The skilled workers with the best technology and the most experience were sent to Chengdu by Jiuyi Heavy Industry.

This is something that industry leaders like Capital One Machinery have been unwilling to see.

When Jiuyi Heavy Industry does not have enough production capacity, it will be aggressive. If they have enough production capacity, they will be aggressive.Moreover, they are all masters with rich technical experience. With their current inefficient research capabilities, they simply cannot compete with them.

Failure to compete under the market mechanism is very likely to lead to bankruptcy.

Such a result is not only what the capital's top executives don't want to see, but also what the country's leaders don't want to see.

"Mr. Liu, do you mean that we will enter into more in-depth and extensive cooperation?" After visiting the production workshop of Capital One Machine, Peng Zhi took two board members of Wanyou CNC to have a small discussion with Liu Cheng and Zhu Feng. scale consultations.

"Yes. Both of us will jointly fund and establish a new CNC equipment manufacturing company. Of course, this company only needs a brand." Seeing Liu Cheng frowning, Peng Zhi said calmly.

Although the machining center produced by Wanyou CNC is slightly better than Jiuyi Heavy Industry who has just entered the industry in terms of accuracy, the price is less than [-] higher than the same equipment of Jiuyi Heavy Industry.As for the mainland's official procurement, if it is purchased on a large scale, it will cost hundreds of millions more for it!

Wanyou CNC is not willing to give up so much profit for the largest purchase in mainland China.

"The cooperation we have now. Isn't it very good?" Liu Cheng is unwilling to invest in the establishment of a new production plant with the Taiwanese. With these funds to build a joint venture with the Taiwanese, it is better to invest in equipment upgrades for the first machine in the capital. And the research on the machining center.

Liu Cheng now wants to understand that Jiuyi Heavy Industry's current achievements are all due to their annual investment of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of research funds.

According to what Zhu Feng learned from Sun Lin and Situ He Yun, from the very beginning of Jiuyi Heavy Industry, all the profits from CNC lathes and CNC milling were invested in the research of new products.Otherwise, their machining center would not be able to make such great progress in a short period of time.

The Taiwanese proposed a joint venture to build a factory, and they had no good intentions at all.

"The current cooperation model is indeed very good, but it does not give full play to the advantages of the two of us. We Wanyou CNC has strong machining center technology research and development capabilities and funds, and you have huge production capacity. Let us jointly invest in the establishment of a joint venture company , independent accounting, and develop new products, so as to enrich our product brand and enhance competitiveness..." Peng Zhi said to the general manager of Capital Yiji, who looked ordinary but had a very smart mind.

"Mr. Peng, what do you mean, after the establishment of the joint venture, our common technicians will work together to develop new products?" Hearing Peng Zhi's words, Zhu Feng's eyes lit up.

What Capital Yiji lacks most is experience in technology development. If it can work with the Taiwanese in this area, it won't be long before they can kick the Taiwanese away and do it alone.

"Mr. Zhu, what we mean is that we will provide technology and most of the funds, and you will provide production workers and production equipment to form a new company and create a new brand of CNC machining centers..." Wanyou Group Bai Meng, the second largest shareholder of the company, said to Zhu Feng whose eyes were shining.

Mainlanders want to get technology from Universal CNC, dreaming!

Are the directors of Wanyou Group so stupid?

In order to get hundreds of millions of official orders from the mainland, it is simply impossible to hand over the key technology of the processing center to the competitor with the largest production capacity in the mainland.

"Mr. Peng, we need to hold a meeting to discuss this matter..." Liu Cheng sneered in his heart, and returned to Peng Zhi directly to hold a meeting to study.

These Taiwanese guys, do they think the Capital Yiji is a fool?

Helping them produce all kinds of mechanical parts does not require any payment at all, but it has considerable profits, and they are not worried that there will be no market for the production.This kind of business is liked by everyone in the capital.

But if you want to use Capital One Machine's relationship with major state-owned machinery factories in China to obtain national orders, the people in Capital One Machine are not so stupid.

Otherwise, after being stimulated by Jiuyi Heavy Industry, they would not invest a lot in the technical research of CNC equipment, and retain the skilled workers in the factory with high salaries in the downturn, and start to cooperate with Jiuyi Heavy Industry in the country. Competing for senior skilled workers within the scope.

As long as they hear that the relatively large state-owned machinery factory has gone bankrupt or restructured, personnel from the personnel department of Jiuyi Heavy Industry and personnel from the labor and management department of Capital Yiji will appear there, and both sides will use their abilities to seduce those experienced people.Skilled, young but not very high-level skilled workers.

......................................

"Cooperating with Wanyou Equipment is an opportunity for us in the capital. As long as we obtain the technology of their three-axis machining center, with our research and development capabilities, we should soon be able to catch up with Jiuyi Heavy Industry and surpass the Taiwanese... "

"I agree with Director Li's opinion that the new brand should be able to bring us a lot of profits. This should be of great help to our research investment."

"Agreed to what? Taiwanese typically want to use us. They don't have enough production capacity to compete with Jiuyi Heavy Industry, so they use us. So what if the profits are high. Don't they get the big head? Cooperating with them, we are making money again , and sent troops, how much can they get?"

"That's right. What they mean is that we have to take away experienced assemblers and go to West Lake. At that time, we have developed advanced equipment ourselves. Where can we find senior assemblers?"

After Liu Cheng and Zhu Feng notified Wanyou Group's cooperation intention to the senior management of the whole company, there was a quarrel in the meeting room.

Those who support and those who oppose, both sides insist on their own opinions, and the quarrel is very heated.

Jiuyi Heavy Industry is both CNC milling and machining centers. Now it is said that it has begun to study large-scale gantry-type machining centers and high-end CNC machining centers with four-axis linkage or even five-axis linkage.

This pressure is too great for Capital Yiji.

After Huadu CNC's Dragon CNC system was launched, Capital Yiji developed its own Capital CNC system to imitate the foreign system in order to compete with them, but the performance cannot be compared with the Huadu CNC system.

There are very few users using their system, and most customers would rather spend an extra [-] yuan to use a system imported from abroad or spend tens of thousands more to use a Huashu system, rather than use Capital CNC, which is not too powerful in control capabilities.

Without a four-axis linkage control system, it is simply not possible for Capital Yiji to study a four-axis or even more axis linkage machining center while researching a three-axis linkage machining center.

Of course, they can also use Huadu's Long CNC system.

Is this possible?

"Cooperating with Taiwanese is undoubtedly seeking skins from tigers. We are now using our idle production capacity to help them produce various large parts and spare parts for machining centers. The profits of these businesses are enough to support our investment in research on machining centers!" If people from Capital Yiji can participate in the research and development, such cooperation will be a good thing.

It's not much use at all if it's just involved in assembly.

Taiwanese machining centers, such as spindles, servo motors, roller screws, and guide rails, are all sourced from Taiwan's headquarters or even imported from Japan, which is of no benefit to the improvement of the capital's machine technology.

"Both Lao Zhu and I disagree with this matter. I think that Wanyou Group mainly wants to use our relationship to obtain the purchase order of the national processing center. According to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, this time The procurement scale is huge. The Ministry of Industry plans to purchase more than [-] machining centers and more CNC machines for major state-owned enterprises within five years to replace equipment upgrades for major state-owned machinery factories and military system production plants..."

"Then we should help the Taiwanese to obtain this order. We help the Taiwanese to produce various parts and components. One set costs over one hundred thousand, and three thousand sets equals four hundred million. Our profit also exceeds 8000 million..."

"Hmph! Taiwanese earn more? They have made most of these profits, don't you know? If it wasn't for Jiuyi Heavy Industry's persecution, in order to reduce production costs and increase profit margins, they would process these entire machines. The most unprofitable mechanical parts and spare parts in the center are handed over to us for production?"

"Okay. Stop arguing. We have a meeting today, not to discuss this! Please let the technology development department introduce to us how long it will take for our machining center to meet the technical indicators of Jiuyi Heavy Industry and Taiwan's machine tools. ! As long as it can be produced, we may not be able to share part of the national order of [-] units!" Seeing the quarrel below, Liu Cheng's head became dizzy.

Every meeting, let him understand that it is not luck that Jiuyi Heavy Industry can move so fast.Nor is it accidental.

In private enterprises, the boss has the final say on everything!

Where is it like them, if you want to do anything, you have to hold a meeting to discuss it, and finally report it to the superior leader, waiting for the leader's approval.

.........................................

"Wanyou Group is going to build a joint venture with you? This is a good thing!" Upon hearing Liu Cheng's report, the head of the machinery department smiled all over his face.

Stones from other hills, can learn.

The establishment of a joint venture will enable Capital Yiji to improve its technology in the research of machining centers and learn from the experience of others.And make these technologies your own.

This is the main purpose of the country's establishment of joint venture factories over the years.

"Leader, this is not a good thing!" Liu Cheng was full of black lines.

I don't know what's going on, these leaders have never discovered the tricks played by foreigners in so many domestic joint ventures.

Joint ventures between foreigners and China usually only contribute technology and capital.However, it occupies most of the shares. In terms of technology and management, Chinese companies are basically rarely able to intervene. Who told them to continuously inject capital into the joint venture factory from the beginning when there were not many shares.However, the Chinese company is not as powerful as the foreign company. In the end, it can only watch the foreign company continue to inject capital to increase its shares, and eventually become the absolute controlling party!

When the joint venture factory was first established.The Chinese side takes out the most outstanding skilled workers and management personnel from the same type of factories and puts them in the joint venture factory, just to be able to master the technology of foreigners. However, the lack of foreigners is not so stupid, the key technology is in the hands of their own people .

Often, in the end, domestic enterprises of the same type are unable to compete with joint ventures, and a large number of outstanding personnel are drawn out, thus falling into crisis.

"Why isn't that a good thing? Haven't you been unable to make breakthroughs in this area? After the joint venture with the Taiwanese, learn their technology well. Then, we will develop our own technology based on these technologies..." The leader said with a look on his face. dissatisfaction.

I don't even understand this question, how did this guy Liu Cheng become the general manager of a large state-owned enterprise with tens of thousands of people in the capital?

"Taiwanese provide technology and funds. Their request is that we only need to provide workers and equipment. The key equipment is imported from Taiwan or Japan, and they also have an absolute controlling stake..." This leader was not like this before idiot!

"What? We only supply workers and equipment? And absolute control? Damn, does he think we are fools?" The leader finally woke up.

"Yes, they just regarded us as fools. Because in the 80s, those foreign-funded enterprises took advantage of our domestic weakness of eagerly wanting to introduce capital and technology, and cooperated in this way. Finally, through continuous capital injection, the final profit Most of them were taken away by them, and our Chinese side has not learned any technology, and we have to pay a lot of skilled workers..." The reason for this is largely caused by the local government, because many local governments The leaders in charge don't understand the tricks in the middle.

The foreign-funded enterprises that entered China in the 80s made a lot of money, and the Chinese enterprises just made wedding dresses for them!

However, the main problem is still the problem of the superior leadership.

If the local economy was not the only basis for assessing cadres, and the higher-level leaders were also eager to develop the domestic economy rapidly, or did more research on such cooperation models abroad, the situation like today would not have occurred.

In order to maintain the dominant position of the collective economy, the state had to keep the state-owned enterprises that should have been on the verge of bankruptcy long ago.

"Then why not cooperate with them!" The leader was born in the military. Although he occupies a high position, it is very normal for him to swear when he is extremely angry.

"By the way, didn't you talk to the small boss of Jiuyi Heavy Industry? Maybe you can get the technology from them, it's not necessarily true!" The domestic CNC equipment industry is relying on a private enterprise that has been established for a few years. Resisting the flag, this made the leaders of the Mechanical Department feel ashamed.

"If you want to obtain technology from Jiuyi Heavy Industry, it will kill that kid! He won't do this!" Liu Cheng sighed.

If they got the technology from Jiuyi Heavy Industry, why would they work for the Taiwanese? They can only watch a lot of profits being made by the Taiwanese, and in the end they only let them have a sip of soup...

"You can't say that, or, let's find the connection between the Military Commission and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and talk to that kid. Isn't he greedy for the country's purchase orders?" The leader's words awakened the dreamer.

A big order of more than one billion, that stingy kid from Jiuyi Heavy Industry can't help but disagree! (To be continued..)
