Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

Negotiation is a game.

In many cases, the process of this game is relatively long.

Of course, it is also possible that the big bosses can get it done with a single sentence.

Although Chris is not the CEO of Ford Motor, he is basically authorized to make a decision on the cooperation with Nanshan.

As for Cao Yang, it goes without saying.

He has the final say on Nanshan.

The two of them stated their own opinions back and forth, and they had a certain understanding of each other's bottom line.

"Well, Chris, in the future, all the automatic transmissions of Ford's models produced in China will be supplied by Nanshan."

"In addition, as long as Ford's models outside of China use 6AT gearboxes, 10% of them will be purchased from Nanshan."

"In addition, Ford produces its own gearboxes, bearings and other components, giving priority to purchasing Nanshan products."

"As for the price of the gearbox, we will pay 8,500 yuan. What do you think?"

Although the technology of Nanshan 6AT is very advanced, it has not been put into the market after all, and its popularity is zero.

Cao Yang still needs to make a breakthrough from Ford Motor, General Motors, and Volkswagen.

Now it seems that Ford Motor is sincerely cooperating with itself.

Although the conditions are not so perfect, they are within the acceptable range.

Of course, Nanshan also has to bear certain risks.

After all, after Ford has mastered the technology of Nanshan 6AT, it may develop 8AT, 9AT, or even 10AT based on this in the future.

Maybe it will be more difficult for Nanshan to get other orders in the future.

The other party will choose to cooperate with Nanshan, perhaps because of this consideration.

But Cao Yang is not particularly worried.

Nanshan has a powerful 6AT, can't it have a powerful 8AT?

At that time, Ford Motor will toss for a long time and find that it is still not as good as Nanshan's 8AT, which will be even more interesting.

Maybe there will be surprises.

"Cao, you are indeed a smart person."

"I agree with this proposal."

"However, I hope to keep this matter low-key, especially the matter of Nanshan's transfer of 6AT gearbox technology to Ford Motor, and try not to publicize it."

Chris breathed a sigh of relief.

This condition is still within the scope of my own acceptance.

Then we can consider the details of cooperation.

Especially the technical data of Nanshan 6AT must be handed over properly.

Otherwise, the purpose of Ford Motor will not be achieved.

"No problem, we just told other customers that Nanshan 6AT is equipped with Ford Motors."

"As for the rest?"

"Is there anything else?"

Cao Yang spread his hands, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

As the second child in the global auto industry, Ford Motor adopts Nanshan's 6AT, which is already very convincing.

Not to mention that General Motors is likely to use it next.

With the endorsement of these two big bosses, it is enough for Nanshan Transmission to open up the situation.

When domestic independent brands learn about this situation, Cao Yang does not believe that they will not be interested.

Nanshan took the initiative to ask them to promote 6AT. Everyone may have various doubts and ask for various explanatory materials.

In the end, there may not be any results.

But if these enterprises in turn take the initiative to visit Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd., the situation is completely different.

6AT automatic transmission, there are only a few companies in the world that do better.

These manufacturers are still reluctant to sell the 6AT, an internationally advanced gearbox, to Chinese auto companies.

Even if you spend money, you can often only buy 4AT.

That price is more expensive than the 6AT in Nanshan.

In this case, Nanshan can't get an order, so it should close down as soon as possible.

"Cao, you are a smart person. I believe that the cooperation between Nanshan and Ford will be a successful cooperation and a win-win cooperation."

Chris is also in a good mood.

The cost of a gearbox has dropped by about 5,000 yuan, which can make Ford's report for next year look much better.

At that time, his position as purchasing director should be as stable as Mount Tai.

What needs to be considered is whether it can go further.

The next few details do not need to be finalized now.

Just let the teams on both sides communicate.

Cao Yang is also free to accompany Chris to eat, drink and have fun in Yangcheng.

Afterwards, he delivered it to the airport in person and let Chris board the flight to Shuangqing City.

Now that he is in Huaxia, Chris must go to Changan Ford for a tour.

On the one hand, it is to learn about the procurement work of the joint venture company, and on the other hand, it is also to tell them the news that the 6AT gearbox will be purchased directly from Nanshan.

...

"Mr. Cao, has this cooperation really been negotiated?"

"According to the scale of Ford Motor, next year we can sell more than 2 billion sales of gearboxes alone."

"If you add the supporting parts for the 6AT produced by Ford Motor, the turnover can be doubled."

"It feels a bit like a dream."

For such an important matter, the internal management of Nanshan naturally knew about it very quickly.

As the person in charge of the gearbox business department, Ji Hua felt that the past few days were like a dream, so unreal.

He has only joined Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. for a few months, and he has witnessed this miracle.

From now on, in the field of Huaxia automatic transmission, I will definitely be a figure at the level of Taishan Beidou, right?

When the old colleagues from the School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering of BIT know the news, how will they react?

He is looking forward to it.

"I think your prediction should be a bit conservative."

"Next year, not only Ford will adopt our 6AT, but other car companies such as General Motors will definitely make some moves."

"Not to mention the 4 billion turnover, it is possible to double it."

"Of course, in this way, the work of your gearbox business department will be more busy."

"The construction of the factory is also advancing day and night, and relevant technicians and workers have to be recruited and trained in advance."

"When the time comes, don't order an order, but we reject it because of capacity problems. That would be a pity."

Cao Yang was in a good mood, and he took this opportunity to put some pressure on Ji Hua.

If the focus of the gearbox business unit was on research and development before, then the next step is to focus on production.

Of course, it doesn't mean that R\u0026D is ignored, after all, there is still continuous technological improvement that needs to be worked hard.

At the same time, research on CVT gearboxes cannot be stopped.

Who knows what products customers will like.

"President Cao, don't worry!"

"The factory building has been built, and I will personally watch over the next equipment installation, worker recruitment and training, and I will never lose the chain."

This is not only an opportunity for Nanshan, but also a good opportunity for Ji Hua personally.

He naturally didn't want to get out of the basket.

It's just that they don't know how busy they will be when the news of Nanshan 6AT's order from Ford spreads.
