Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

Zeng Tingting followed Cao Yang, and her way of thinking gradually caught up with the rhythm.

Dealing with SKF is the focus of Cao Yang's work during this period.

Now that Cao Yang has promoted the anti-monopoly investigation in the United States, she immediately thought of something like that.

"What? SKF's wool, are you going to bald it?"

Although there is still a big gap between Nanshan's current scale and SKF's, Cao Yang's mentality is very stable.

Still in the mood to joke around.

"whee."

"Who let them provoke us?"

"If you don't press it against the floor and rub it, there might be parts giants behind who want to attack us."

"After all, Mr. Cao, you have even arranged for people to study the gearbox and machine tools."

"In the future, the company will be involved in more and more fields, and there will be more and more competitors."

"If you don't give the head bird a ruthless mark, there will be troubles in the future."

Zeng Tingting's words touched Cao Yang's heart.

Bully the soft and fear the hard.

This is true no matter what field you are in.

In the workplace, when looking for someone to do a job, leaders don't want to find thorns, they like to find honest people.

When auto companies cut prices, parts giants can't do so, and they use fully competitive manufacturers as soft persimmons.

Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. must not make people feel like a soft persimmon.

Otherwise, there will be endless troubles.

"How do you want to cheat SKF again?"

"It's very simple. The United States has launched an anti-monopoly investigation of auto parts. Let's find a way to promote it. Let the EU also launch an anti-monopoly investigation on auto parts."

"I don't trust manufacturers like SKF, and I will bid honestly in Europe."

"They must have formed a tacit understanding with Schaeffler and other bearing manufacturers in private, which violated the anti-monopoly law."

Zeng Tingting's proposal is not very innovative.

But it is very feasible.

Volkswagen, Renault, Peugeot Citroen, Fiat and other car companies in Europe are still ranked very well in the world.

The market share in the local market is also very high.

Dongying enterprises can thrive in the United States, but they are not so happy in Europe.

"Find an opportunity to mention it to the Volkswagen and PSA people and see if they are interested."

"Even if it can't be done, at least it can make SKF and the others nervous."

Cao Yang had no reason to object to the proposal of the little secretary.

To cause trouble for the opponent is to provide assistance for one's own development.

"That's right, this time we must make SKF hurt."

"Didn't we take advantage of Yahoo Auto Channel before?"

"I think it can be used again this time."

A new idea popped up in Zeng Tingting's mind, which surprised Cao Yang.

"How do you want to use it?"

Seeing that her boss was very interested, Zeng Tingting was also very motivated, and said: "Let's break the news to them, saying that the anti-monopoly investigation of auto parts in the United States was initiated because of SKF, and you can even compile some materials. Expose the contents of SKF's price alliance with bearing giants such as NTN and JTEKT."

"Anyway, it's a story, true or false, even if the details don't match, there is no problem in logic."

"At that time, SKF will definitely become the target of public criticism."

When Zeng Tingting mentioned this plan, Cao Yang's reaction was much stronger than before.

After all, finding a way to promote the EU to engage in anti-monopoly is just a matter of following the gourd.

But now this operation is completely different.

The key is that it sounds very feasible, and it can also have a very direct adverse impact on SKF.

"Your idea is very good. At that time, we can even guide the editors of Yahoo Auto Channel to dig deeper into this topic."

"I have a hunch that this antitrust case in the auto parts industry will be one of the hottest news in the American auto market in 2001."

After Cao Yang gave a positive reply, Zeng Tingting immediately started to implement it.

In the past few days, the judiciary of the United States has made frequent moves.

In addition to the first wave of bearing manufacturers being included in the investigation, Dongying's Furukawa, Fujikura, Yazaki and Deutschland's Leoni and other wiring harness manufacturers have now been included in the anti-monopoly investigation.

In order to prevent other international parts giants from smelling something wrong, they began to destroy evidence.

In the next few days, new parts were specifically investigated almost every day.

Autoliv!

Denso!

Bosch!

Mitsubishi Electric!

Hitachi Automotive Systems!

Kang Naike!

Clover!

Bridgestone!

East China Sea physical and chemical!

...

A large wave of component giants has been included in the investigation.

This made the topic of auto parts anti-monopoly explode.

Whether it is the media in the United States, Japan, Europe, or China, they are all paying attention to and reporting related news.

The automobile industry is an industry with a very long industrial chain and a great impact on the economy.

The car is again something that many people are relatively familiar with.

In addition, countless consumers feel that the price of replacing parts during car repairs is very expensive, and they have great opinions on the cost of parts.

Now the United States regards these parts giants as the culprit, which immediately ignited everyone's enthusiasm for attention.

At this time, Zeng Tingting's revelation to Yahoo Auto naturally made the headlines on the Yahoo Auto channel.

Let SKF become the center eye of this round of storm.

"Chris, you did a great job this time!"

"Taking this opportunity, we must ask those parts manufacturers to lower their prices for us."

"You tell them that if they don't cooperate with our price cuts, the amount of fines in the antitrust investigation will exceed their imagination."

Inside Ford, CEO Jacques Nasser is listening to Chris' report.

As a professional manager outside of the Ford family, Nasser is also under great pressure.

In particular, the financial report in the first quarter was ugly, and many people blamed him on his head.

Therefore, Nasser's enthusiasm for reducing costs and increasing efficiency is definitely very high.

He is also fully supportive of the purchase center being able to give such a novel idea.

Otherwise, how could this anti-monopoly investigation be so violent?

"I have arranged for various procurement managers to contact those parts manufacturers involved in anti-monopoly investigations, asking them to achieve a 10% price reduction task this year."

"Others will wait for sky-high fines."

Chris was in high spirits at this time.

The Purchasing Center has always had a low profile within Ford.

Not only is there no way to compare with R \u0026 D and sales, but the status of various factories and technical departments, and even the logistics department is higher than that of procurement.

Now Chris can finally hold his own in the company.
