Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

In May 2001, the turnover of Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. exceeded 80 million.

The entire company has a buzzing atmosphere.

When Cao Yang returned to work in the company again, he could clearly feel that the company was changing every day.

"Mr. Cao, it's just in time for you to come back. The day after tomorrow is the opening ceremony of Huaqiang Factory's new factory. Guo Shuyin has been here several times, and I want to invite you to attend."

Zhang Fugui came to Cao Yang's office immediately.

During this time, he was too busy.

Nanshan Industrial Park has completed the work of three connections and one leveling, and has started civil construction.

The relevant equipment that should be ordered has already been ordered, and the preparation for self-production is also under study.

Seeing that some of the factories could start production in the first half of next year, he began to worry about orders for the new factory.

After all, no matter how big the factory is, it cannot survive without the support of orders.

Cao Yang's visit to Ford Motor and General Motors this time must have something to do with the new order.

Of course, Zhang Fugui will not ask if there are any new orders as soon as he comes up.

It seemed that he, the head of the sales department, was too incompetent.

Any order depends on the general manager to fight for you.

Then what else do you want to do?

"Didn't the new factory of Huaqiang Factory start production a few months ago?"

"Why are you still holding the commissioning ceremony?"

Although Nanshan only has a 30% stake in Yangcheng Huaqiang Stamping Factory, as a part of the future car manufacturing layout, Cao Yang still pays more attention to their development.

"Huaqiang Factory invested 150 tons, 300 tons, and 600 tons of PRG presses in one go, and also installed 1,000 tons and 2,000 tons of TRF presses."

"It is naturally impossible to install and debug all of these at the same time."

"The PRG presses were all put into production before, and the 1,000-ton and 2,000-ton TRF presses have also been put into production smoothly recently."

"Because TRF presses of this tonnage are still very rare in China, Huaqiang Factory also wants to let more people know their strength through this commissioning ceremony."

"Of course, the district also hopes that they will hold such a commissioning ceremony, so..."

When Zhang Fugui said this, Cao Yang understood.

Just do it.

Just take this opportunity to publicize Nanshan's press technology.

It also let Pan Jinxing, the newly appointed deputy general manager and director of the equipment center, know that Nanshan does not have no technical accumulation at all.

"Just tell Lao Guo that I will attend the commissioning ceremony on time."

"When the time comes, remember to continue to invite colleagues from Spring City Stamping and Xifeng Mochong to let them feel the pressure."

...

Yangcheng Honda is now the largest customer of Huaqiang Stamping Factory.

Since none of the stamping plants associated with Honda had time to set up factories in China, Huaqiang Stamping Plant took a big advantage.

More than 30% of the orders for body skeleton parts of the new Accord were given to Huaqiang Factory.

Its rapid development has even affected the investment speed of Honda's affiliated manufacturers in China.

So far, only Yangcheng Aiji and Yangcheng Aipak, which are responsible for the production of front and rear longitudinal beams and A-pillars/B-pillars, have three divisions with Huaqiang Factory.

The two Honda-affiliated companies, Aiji and Apex, have only confirmed that they will build factories, and they will not start production until next year.

This led to localization orders for mass-produced Accord models, and they couldn't get any of them.

"Li Bu, this is our newly imported TRF equipment. Except for one component on the dash fender, we can't produce it. We have the production capacity for other car body skeleton parts."

Speeches from all parties, thanks, review, outlook...

The process of the commissioning ceremony is almost the same.

But when it came time to visit the factory, Guo Shuyin personally explained to Yangcheng Honda, a big customer.

The leaders are busy with business and have already left the venue first.

As for the friends who came to join in the fun, the people from the equipment center of Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. will be responsible for the introduction.

"Xiao Lu, Huaqiang Factory has introduced such advanced equipment, and has production capacity for various parts. We can give them more opportunities in the future."

Li Huarong, as the deputy head of the purchasing department of Yangcheng Honda, is considered the leader of Huaxia in the field of purchasing.

The pressure he feels to increase the localization rate is the greatest.

Of course, these are all obvious reasons.

In fact, whether it is because Guo Shuyin has a good relationship with his boss, only he himself knows.

"Minister, the main reason is that Huaqiang Factory doesn't have much production experience in large-scale automobile skeleton parts. Dongying people are relatively rigid. Without actual performance, we dare not make core parts such as front and rear side members and front and rear wheel covers for them."

"After several months of mass production results for this batch of parts, we can make a large number of proposals to Huaqiang Factory for the next model."

As the head of the Stamping Department, Lu Xiangyang followed Li Huarong very low-key today.

"The cost of Aiji and Apak should be much higher than that of Huaqiang Factory, right?"

"If you don't give Huaqiang Factory a chance, how can you get the actual production performance?"

"Isn't this a chicken-and-egg situation?"

When Li Huarong asked such a rhetorical question, Guo Shuyin was happy, but Lu Xiangyang was under a lot of pressure.

"Li Bu, it's also because our Huaqiang factory started late. Before that, we mainly made stamping parts in the field of home appliances. We have relatively little experience in the automotive industry, so the personnel of your company's Dongying Fang do not have confidence in us."

"However, today's Huaqiang Factory is different from before. All the new presses we introduce are PRG or TRF presses."

"Whether it is in terms of production efficiency or quality assurance, it is very advantageous."

"In the future, if the production capacity of Aiji and Apex is insufficient, we don't mind being a secondary supplier for them."

When Guo Shuyin said this, both Li Huarong and Lu Xiangyang's eyes lit up.

second-tier suppliers?

This doesn't seem to be impossible.

In this way, the Dongying people have nothing to say, and the task of reducing costs on their side can be better completed.

At the same time, it also increased the orders of Huaqiang Factory.

"That's a good idea. I heard that your molds are produced by the mold center of Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. for you. Is this mold for sale?"

Li Huarong just listened to the report on the investment of the new Accord tooling (moulds, fixtures, and inspection tools) a few days ago, and he is very dissatisfied with the current tooling cost.

The most important thing is that the molds of Aiji and Apak are almost all imported from Japan.

Although a set of molds can cost more than one million at every turn.

This price is really exaggerated.

Compared with the quotation of Huaqiang Factory, the cost of the same type of mold is directly lower than half.

Whether in public or private, Li Huarong hopes that all molds can be purchased from China.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Cao from Nanshan is also here today, we can ask him directly."

As Guo Shuyin spoke, he quickly stepped back a few steps and invited Cao Yang over.
