Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

Aida Stamping is not a particularly well-known existence in Dongying Machine Tool Enterprises.

After all, their products are mainly presses, and ordinary people basically don't touch them.

However, since its establishment in 1917, Aida has gone through more than 80 years.

In the segmented field of stamping equipment, the strength is still very strong.

Except for Schuler, there is no stamping equipment factory in the world that can firmly overwhelm them.

Thanks to the rapid development of Dongying's automobile industry and home appliance industry, Aida's press sales are also increasing year by year.

However, even so, orders for more than 30 presses at one time are very rare.

Everyone in Aida attaches great importance to it.

It's just that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

After Huitian handed over the quotation to the parent companies of Weifu and Aiji, such as F-TECH and H-ONE, there was no movement for half a month.

This made Mr. Takeuchi, head of the Aida Sales Headquarters, feel something was wrong.

"Minister Yonekawa, I heard that your company's factory in Huaxia has already started construction. If the installation and commissioning of all equipment will be completed in the first half of next year, the schedule will be very tight."

"Especially for large-tonnage presses, not to mention the relatively long manufacturing cycle, even the installation and commissioning is time-consuming."

"Your company's order may need to be sent as soon as possible, so we can do our best to respond."

Although the preparatory work is already being done in Aida, even some long-term parts are already being prepared.

But Takeuchi definitely wouldn't tell Yonekawa that.

If you want to force people, you also need to pay attention to skills.

Among the Japanese companies, those who talk like to go around the most.

The practice of speaking harshly is not popular.

"Takeuchi-san, I was thinking of asking you to come over and have a good chat."

Yonekawa quickly thought about how to tell Mr. Takeuchi about this matter.

In fact, last week, the board of directors of H-ONE had been held internally, and a conclusion was reached on the investment in Huaxia's factory equipment.

It's just that this conclusion is a bit strange. Yonekawa is about to fly to Huaxia to confirm the situation himself.

So there has been no feedback to the people in Huitian.

To some extent, Yone Chuan is also leaving a way out for himself.

After all, the decision of the board of directors is a bit strange and a bit unreliable.

If he comes to Huitian to order the press again at that time, he, the head of the purchasing department, will be under a lot of pressure.

"It just so happens that a new izakaya opened near your company. Their tuna sashimi is very good, and the eel rice is also very special. How about we have a gathering there tonight?"

Takeuchi raised his left hand and looked at his watch, he didn't want to delay any more.

Anyway, every night he had to drink a little wine before going home.

Even if the company does not work overtime, he will not return home until eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening.

After all, in Dongying, the later a man goes home, the busier his work is, and he is taken seriously.

If you arrive home at six or seven o'clock every day, then your wife and neighbor will worry about you.

"Izakaya..."

"That's fine."

"I happen to have a bottle of Yamazaki's whiskey there, and we can drink it tonight."

What Yonekawa said made Takeuchi feel a little surprised and a little uneasy.

The other party is the head of the procurement department of H-ONE.

As the largest stamping parts manufacturer under Honda, H-ONE is comparable in scale to Toyotek under Toyota and UNIPRES under Nissan.

In front of the press manufacturer, it is the father of Party A.

To be so polite to myself today...

This is something that has never happened before.

We must know that although Huitian has an extraordinary position in the segmented field of stamping equipment in Japan, it is not without rivals.

Not to mention that Schuler has always wanted to expand the Japanese market, and Koryo Hyundai Wia wants to come to grab orders. It is Komatsu Stamping, which is also a Japanese company, which can bring great competitive pressure to Aida.

Even the scale of Komatsu is larger than Aida as a whole.

Feeling anxious, Takeuchi took no one with him, went to the meeting by himself, and went to the izakaya to wait for Yonekawa's arrival.

Fortunately, this time Yone Chuan didn't make him wait too long and came over.

The two were old acquaintances, and after a few pleasantries, they sat down on the tatami.

"Takeuchi-san, the development of Aida this year is not bad, right?"

"I heard that your report for fiscal year 2000 is very good."

Of course, Yonekawa would not take the initiative to mention the order of press machines from Huaxia Factory.

But you can't be cold, so I found a common topic to chat.

"Thanks to your company's strong support, last year's situation was really good, and the club's turnover hit a new high."

"Especially in the American market, which contributed more than 40% of our turnover last year."

"Your company's branch in the United States has also given us great support."

Although Takeuchi wanted to find out what happened to the H-ONE Huaxia Factory's order, he also knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

How can it be convenient to discuss some confidential matters without drinking a few glasses of wine?

This is only one meeting.

At the second meeting later, or even the third meeting, it will be very convenient for everyone to say anything.

"The development in the United States is indeed very fast. Both the Honda Accord and the Civic are selling very well."

"Our factory will order another 800-ton PRG press and a 1,500-ton TRF press next."

"In the future, it is possible to further expand the scale and build new factories."

I'm going to tell the other party the bad news later, so I naturally have to draw a cake for Takeuchi first.

Otherwise, I feel uneasy after drinking this meal.

"Then I will ask Minister Yonekawa to take care of you at that time."

Takeuchi's mood improved a lot, he raised his wine glass and had a drink with Yonekawa.

After the chatterbox opened, the atmosphere between the two became much more harmonious.

When the two of them were almost done drinking, Takeuchi said, "Yonechuan-san, let's go to the Kabuki hall on the next street and sit for a while before going back?"

"I heard there's a new batch of girls over there."

In Huaxia, it is normal to go to KTV to sing a song after the wine game is over, and to have a second show.

The same is true in Japan.

People's first meeting and second meeting mean the first meeting and the second meeting.

"No, I've been busy all day today, so it's enough to get here."

Normally, Yonekawa would not be polite, but today's situation is different.

"It's okay, just go and relax."

"I also want to ask Yonekawa-san about the production schedule of the Huaxia branch's press orders."

At this time, Takeuchi naturally wants to bring the topic to the topic.

"Takeuchi-san, I want to tell you even if you don't ask."

"Because your presses need to be exported from Dongying to China, not only the price and delivery cycle have no advantage compared with China's local suppliers."

"It is to buy imported equipment, which requires Huaxia's foreign exchange. They also hope that we can use domestic equipment as much as possible."

"Is it possible for you to set up a branch in Huaxia to produce presses?"

As soon as Yonekawa's words came out of his mouth, Takeuchi's heart felt cold.

Sure enough, something went wrong!
