Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

Chapter 123 Talking about conditions and talking about unexpected joy

The meeting between Cao Yang and the Honda Research Institute did not take place at the Honda plant in Yangcheng.

Instead, they specially invited the other party to come to Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd.

After all, I have private goods to stuff in later.

"Mr. Cao, this is Mr. Onihara Ishizuka from our Honda Technical Research Wako Research Institute. He is an executive officer of the Honda Research Institute. He is fully responsible for the cooperation negotiation with you this time."

In order to keep it secret, Kimura Kawaguchi, head of the procurement department of Yangcheng Honda, acted as the translator himself.

As a resident of Honda stationed in Yangcheng Honda, Kimura is still very fluent in Chinese.

"I heard that the appearance of the Ford F150 was made by a Chinese designer. I thought it was produced by a master from the Huaqing Academy of Fine Arts."

"I didn't expect Cao Sang to be much younger than I thought."

Onihara Ishizuka has an afro on his head. He is obviously in his forties, but his hairstyle is very similar to that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old middle school boy in Huaxia.

This impressed Cao Yang deeply.

Of course, even without this shape, the name Onihara Ishizuka is impressive enough.

I have heard that many surnames of Dongying people are very strange.

What soy sauce, steamed buns, pig nose, dog breed, my grandson, one two three, anus, poop...

I didn't expect that I could really know someone with such a strange surname.

"Onihara-san can become an executive officer of Honda at such an age. This achievement is admirable."

There was a wave of business bragging between the two sides, and ten minutes passed.

Then it started to get on track.

"K-car's popularity overseas is very low. I didn't expect Cao Sang to pay attention to it."

Cao Yang didn't play tricks, and directly took out a part of the N-BOX exterior design.

Onihara Ishizuka is a person who knows the goods. He can feel the charm of this K-car with just a simple front shape.

Speaking of which, the length, width and height of this kind of K-car are limited to 3.3 meters, 1.4 meters and 2.0 meters, and the displacement limit is set at 660cc. Ordinary cars have very big advantages.

And in Dongying, if there is no fixed parking space, you can only buy K-car.

The key point is that Dongying's automobile industry started relatively early, so their consumers have already passed the initial stage of using vehicles to show their identity and status.

It's not that it's not unimportant to lose face, it's just that it's not that important anymore.

In their eyes, a vehicle is more of a tool that can provide convenience for people's production and life.

In this way, a small car with all internal organs and convenient parking has a great market in Japan.

Of course, looking at it from another perspective, this is also a product of Japan's small territory and limited resources.

Otherwise, the automobile industry in the United States started earlier, why do people always like big cars with large displacement?

"Honda's N-BOX is a very successful model in Japan. I think if the next-generation model changes to this shape, there will be no problem with monthly sales of more than 20,000."

"It is not impossible to even overwhelm other models to become the market champion."

"Look at this headlight. It is exquisite and has a cute style. Housewives should like it very much."

"There is also the front grille, which is concise and recognizable, making it easy to remember at a glance."

"If the shape of the whole body is fully combined with Honda's MM concept, the car will be small in size but not small in interior space."

At this time, Cao Yang naturally wants to brag about the K-car he designed.

Otherwise, how can we further raise conditions?

"It's a really good car, and a much better fit than what we're reviewing internally at the Institute."

"However, N-BOX is one of the classic models of Honda, and we have always had a dedicated team to upgrade its appearance."

"If the price is too high, we may not be able to afford it."

Onihara Ishizuka is engaged in design, there are not so many twists and turns.

He fell in love with this car, but he didn't want to be completely kidnapped by Cao Yang.

Of course, if Cao Yang presented an equally stunning Accord or Civic today, his attitude might be a little different.

Although K-car is good, it only has a domestic market in Japan.

This greatly limits its value.

Otherwise, a model that can sell 20,000 a month in Japan, how much should it sell in the United States and China?

"Onihara-san, since I took the initiative to find Honda, I naturally have the sincerity to cooperate with your company."

"My condition is actually very simple, that is, I hope that the subsidiaries of your company in China can purchase Nanshan's presses and molds."

"Of course, the technology of equipment and molds meets the requirements, and the cost is not higher than that of other equipment manufacturers. This is a prerequisite."

At this time, Cao Yang naturally did not have the idea of ​​a price war.

He has already exchanged conditions for others, and he is not stupid to sell presses and molds at a low price.

"Only this condition?"

Onihara Ishizuka and Kimura Kawaguchi looked at each other, apparently feeling that Cao Yang's conditions were not particularly excessive.

"It would be even better if your company's hub bearings and other parts can also give priority to Nanshan."

Taking advantage of the opponent's incomplete reaction, Cao Yang stuffed another condition into it.

Anyway, this condition is not so unacceptable for Honda.

After all, to make parts, there must be no problem with QCD.

Honda's own direct line manufacturers do not make bearings, and Cao Yang's condition is not sensitive.

"Mr. Cao, what are the specific models of your presses? What types of molds can you make?"

In this regard, Kawaguchi knew better than Onihara.

So he chatted directly with Cao Yang.

"Whether it is a PRG press or a TRF press, we can satisfy all kinds of tonnage."

"Some time ago, the new factory of Huaqiang Stamping Factory, which used more than a dozen presses from Nanshan, has been put into production smoothly."

"Currently supplying parts to your company's Accord."

"We not only have 600-ton PRG presses, but also 2,000-ton TRF presses."

"It can be said that as long as it is a PRG or TRF press, we can do it."

"As for the TDM presses, if there is a need, we have no problem."

"In terms of molds, whether the molds used with these equipment are used to process ordinary 270 steel plates or 590 high-strength steels, we can produce qualified products."

"In this regard, there are already several companies that have achieved mass production."

When Cao Yang said this, Kawaguchi was quite surprised.

Huaxia actually has such a powerful press manufacturer and mold manufacturer?

This is a good thing for reducing the cost of parts.

"Mr. Cao, there are currently quite a few Honda-related component companies investing in China to set up factories, but there are mainly three companies that need stamping machines. They need a lot of presses. Is there any problem with your production capacity?"

After Kawaguchi and Onihara chattered for a while, they asked Cao Yang again.

Obviously, these conditions are not too harsh for Honda.

No matter whose equipment you buy, you buy it.

If Nanshan's presses are technically correct, then it's not impossible as an exchange.

Of course, if it is confirmed that there is a problem with the technology later, it is not that they did not abide by the agreement.

"Three?"

"Which three?"

Cao Yang pretended not to know anything.

In fact, it was a drumbeat in my heart.

Isn't there only Yangcheng Aiji and Yangcheng Aipak?

Why did a third one come out?
