Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

As a state-owned enterprise, Jier Machine Tool Factory is best at running policies.

In the past, when Zhang Sheng went to the imperial capital, he wanted some policy support funds.

In particular, there are some projects related to the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the 863 Program every year.

Anyway, if you can get 10,000 yuan, you can save 10,000 yuan in research funds for the factory.

With more trips, he is naturally familiar with all kinds of things, knowing who to contact and which department to contact.

Due to the outstanding performance of Nanshan and Jier in the press industry this year, they have caught up with or even surpassed their international counterparts in terms of large-ton TRF presses and PRG presses.

In addition, the tariff increase in the press industry was only promoted in the name of a pilot, so Zhang Sheng's plan was quickly passed.

Then it was published as a provisional regulation.

As a result, it immediately caused a great stir in the press industry.

"We only started to deal with Nanshan this month, and Huaxia came up with a matter of increasing the tariff rate on stamping equipment."

"This is definitely made by Nanshan."

Lucas has become a lot haggard during this time.

The loss of the Changan Ford press order made him almost fired.

If it wasn't for the fact that he had made some achievements over the years and had his own backstage in the company, he would really have been swept away.

Even so, his life is more difficult than before.

"Lucas, Nanshan is just a local private enterprise in Yangcheng. I don't think they have the strength to influence China's policies."

Xu Dacheng thought it was just a coincidence.

And he felt that the impact of this incident on Schuler might not be that great.

Because he found a loophole.

The tariff increase this time is actually only aimed at stamping machine equipment, and does not include related parts.

"No, it must have something to do with Nanshan."

"They may not have such great ability, but Jier Machine Tool Factory has this strength."

"Now the relationship between the two factories is very close."

Lucas stood by his judgment.

To this end, Xu Dacheng also added: "We have already set up a factory in Huaxia, and using the factory buildings and some equipment of the purchased equipment factory, we can start domestically produced presses soon."

"China's policy this time has limited impact on us."

"At most, we will import the components in the future and assemble them in China."

"Don't they want to protect local equipment manufacturers? Let's see how they protect it."

"And Huaxia can use industrial policies to protect local companies, and we can also find ways to make them shoot themselves in the foot."

As Xu Dacheng said, a bold idea popped up in his mind.

"any solution?"

"It's impossible for us to let Germany also increase the import tariffs on stamping machines, right?"

"That doesn't make any sense."

Lucas felt that he didn't know what to do now.

Basically all the cards that can be played are played, and the remaining hand of three, four, six, seven, how to play the cards?

"The policy of raising tariffs does not make much sense for low-end machine tools, because as long as there are orders for these machine tools, we can produce them in China."

"That is to say, most of China's press equipment manufacturers cannot enjoy the benefits brought by this policy."

"That is to say, industry leaders such as Nanshan and Jier can feel the benefits."

"In this case, if we can make them internally conflict, let other press equipment manufacturers in China, and even other machine tool equipment manufacturers jump out to oppose this plan, or even oppose the promoters of this plan."

"Then things are bound to get interesting."

"At that time, we will see the equipment manufacturers in Huaxia bite the dog."

When Xu Dacheng said this, Lucas' eyes lit up.

This idea is very good.

Just how should it be implemented?

"Xu, how can we make those equipment manufacturers in China jump out and target Nanshan?"

"It's actually very simple. Let's take a look at Huaxia's machine tool companies, and what are the most imported components."

"Look at those things that can block them."

"Then we work hard on this component, whether it is restricting supply or raising prices, or other methods, it will allow other batches of machine tool manufacturers to jump out and bite Nanshan."

"Of course, before doing this, we must first know that this policy is promoted by Nanshan."

"Even if it wasn't actually done by the Nanshan family, we still want to put Nanshan in front."

"At that time, all the pressure will be concentrated on Nanshan."

Xu Dacheng is very familiar with China's national conditions.

Although Huaxia imports a large number of machine tools every year, there are not many domestic machine tool companies at all.

It's just that most of them can only do some low-end products.

At that time, if everyone feels that Nanshan is for their own interests, causing their interests to be lost, many manufacturers will definitely jump out and make trouble.

"Your idea sounds good."

Lucas quickly weighed the pros and cons, and found that Xu Dacheng's plan is completely feasible.

"Huaxia imports a wide variety of machine tool parts. All kinds of knives, special steels, and CNC systems are basically imported."

"Xu, I think the CNC system is a very good entry point."

"What do you think?"

Obviously, Lucas immediately grasped the weakness of Huaxia's machine tool industry.

Whether it is a drilling machine, milling machine or lathe, a variety of tools are required.

These knives look very simple, but domestic manufacturers in China just cannot produce products of the same level as others.

Even in later generations, high-end knives still need a lot of imports.

The same knife may be used for three months without any problems, but yours will be broken in one month.

Although the price of other people's knives is ten times that of yours, if you think about it comprehensively, you may still have to buy other people's knives.

The same is true for special steels.

As for the CNC system, that sentence goes without saying.

This is China's traditional weakness.

Whether it is the numerical control system of machine tools or the control systems in various other fields, there is a big gap between Huaxia and the international advanced level.

"CNC system?"

"If I remember correctly, Dongying's FANUC and Deutsche's Siemens account for 50% and 25% of the world market share of airport numerical control systems respectively."

"More than 90% of the CNC systems on Huaxia's side belong to these two companies."

Seeing that Lucas recognized his own ideas, Xu Dacheng was also in a good mood.

A sense of accomplishment welled up in my heart.

"You're right. The CNC systems we use at Schuler are all from Siemens."

"The same old industrial company in Germany, the two founder families knew each other more than a hundred years ago."

"As long as we persuade the headquarters to help, Siemens can cooperate with us."

"After all, although Siemens does not produce presses, it also has a lot of industrial equipment."

"If Huaxia extends the tariff policy on stamping machines to other industrial equipment, it will have a great impact on Siemens."

As a German company, Lucas is still very confident in persuading Siemens to cooperate with Schuler in the CNC system of machine tools to deal with Huaxia.

"It just so happens that FANUC is a Japanese company, and Aida's CNC system basically uses their products."

"This time the policy, Aida must also have a lot of opinions."

"When the time comes, let them convince FANUC, let's convince Siemens, find a reason, and everyone will raise the price of the CNC system together, which will definitely cause internal strife in China's machine tool industry."

Xu Dacheng couldn't help but smile when he thought that Nanshan would face the siege of many machine tool manufacturers in the future.

The Nanshan family has only been established for a few years, and they dare to easily provoke a veteran equipment giant like Schuler.

At that time, we must let Nanshan know how deep Schuler's background is.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Hurry up and split up!"

Lucas couldn't help laughing too.

He finally had a chance to take revenge.

...

Huaxia raises import tariffs on stamping equipment, which will lead to a decline in sales of international stamping equipment manufacturers, which will lead to a decline in sales of CNC systems, which will ultimately affect the cost of CNC systems.

In addition, due to a gap in the production capacity of a certain chip in the CNC system, the price has skyrocketed, so the CNC system has to increase the price.

Well, Siemens and FANUC agreed to help regardless of whether there were logical loopholes in the reasons Schuler and Aida helped them find.

After all, they all have their own equipment business, and they are really worried that Huaxia will raise import tariffs on equipment in the future.

Although protecting their own industries is what every country is doing, they definitely hope that China can open its doors to do business.

This way they can earn more money.

"Mr. Zhang, FANUC just sent us a price increase letter, asking us to agree to the price increase and submit payment before we are willing to ship."

"Almost at the same time, Siemens also sent us another price increase letter, which meant something similar to FANUC's."

"I don't think it's that simple behind this matter."

At the Jier Machine Tool Factory, Liu Yongzhe, head of the Purchasing Department, immediately came to report to Zhang Sheng.

Now the whole factory is working hard for Changan Ford's press equipment. If the purchasing department loses the chain, it will definitely be enough for him to drink a pot by then.

"Price increase letter?"

Zhang Sheng was taken aback for a moment.

He hadn't heard of this thing in years.

For a long time, it was Jier Machine Tool Factory that sent price reduction letters to suppliers.

When did the supplier start sending price increase letters to Ji Er?

Is the sun coming out from the west today?

"Yes, it's a price increase letter, and the price increase is outrageous, it's like extortion."

"The original 300,000 sets of CNC systems cost 1 million now."

"Some low-end CNC systems have increased from 100,000 sets to 500,000 sets."

"In this way, many of our machine tools have no profit at all."

When Liu Yongzhe said this, Zhang Sheng frowned.

It is definitely not normal to see a rise of several times at every turn.

What happened?

Before Liu Yongzhe could continue to say anything, he directly grabbed the printed letter from the other party.

"Can a chip production capacity gap increase the price so much?"

"Is this chip made of diamonds or gold?"

"There is also the increase in import tariffs, which has led to a decline in customer sales and affected the cost sharing of the control system."

"What is the reason for this?"

Zhang Sheng looked more and more angry.

This fact is too outrageous.

"Mr. Zhang, I feel that these reasons are all randomly made up by Siemens and FANUC."

"The reason behind it is that the import tariff on stamping machines has increased."

"Otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence."

Liu Yongzhe said with certainty.

In fact, from the far-fetched mention of the stamping machine tariff increase in the price increase letter, he knew the real reason behind this matter.

Although he is a little unclear, Siemens and FANUC do not make stamping machines, why the reaction is so big.

"Siemens is a German company, and FANUC is a Japanese company."

"This year, we are in the press industry with Nanshan, and we have offended Germany's Schuler and Dongying's Aida."

"They probably even tore our hearts."

"It is such a coincidence that the prices of CNC systems from German and Japanese manufacturers have increased."

"This matter, I probably understand what's going on."

"In this way, you can call and ask about the CNC systems of other manufacturers to see if the price has changed."

"I'll make a phone call with Mr. Cao from Nanshan to discuss how to deal with it."

Zhang Sheng has worked in the machine tool industry for more than 20 years.

It is very clear that Siemens and Fanuc have a monopoly position in machine tool CNC systems.

Originally, their prices were relatively high, so that a large part of the procurement cost of domestic machine tool manufacturers was used to purchase CNC systems.

Especially for low-end machine tools, the impact in this regard is even greater.

Now the price has been raised significantly, and the increase is so large that a giant like Jier can't bear it, let alone other machine tool companies.

If this matter is not handled well, he feels that he is in big trouble.

...

"Mr. Cao, there are some strange reports on the Internet today."

"I feel like there's someone behind the scenes at work."

In Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd., Cao Yang was watering the Evergreen by the window, and Zeng Tingting brought bad news.

"What's been reported?"

With the development of Nanshan, relevant reports in the media must be increasing.

Cao Yang is slowly getting used to this change.

"These articles are criticizing the increase in import tariffs on stamping equipment announced some time ago, and they also say that this is a policy promoted by Nanshan for its own self-interest and using its influence."

Zeng Tingting said very angrily.

In her opinion, these media are absolutely talking nonsense.

"Except for this?"

"Is there anything else to say?"

Cao Yang's mood was very stable, and he was not angry at all because of Zeng Tingting's words.

In a high position, the skill of nourishing qi is also constantly increasing.

"They also said that Nanshan's actions are holding Huaxia back. Now everyone is going all out to join the WTO."

"If this matter affects Huaxia's accession to the WTO, then Nanshan will be a sinner through the ages!"

After Zeng Tingting said this, Cao Yang's expression finally changed a bit.
