Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

There is no absolute statement about the relationship between OEMs and suppliers.

More often, the cooperation between the two parties is a game process.

However, on the whole, it is certain that Party A will be stronger and have more initiative.

But in the process of cooperation between BYD and Nanshan, the situation is even more different.

No wonder Liang Chuanqing had doubts.

"If Nanshan really builds a car, it is indeed possible to build a better car than us."

Wang Fu didn't stop arguing just because this remark was not pleasing to the ear.

"However, I don't think Nanshan will consider building cars in the next five years."

"They're now on track with the gearbox business and the market for other parts has opened up."

"It can be said that the parts business is Nanshan's main source of profit."

"If they choose to enter the field of complete vehicle manufacturing, let alone whether they can achieve success, the loss alone is not acceptable to Nanshan now."

"Think about it, if Nanshan really builds cars, will we still buy engines and gearboxes from them?"

"Whether it's the Great Wall or Chang'an, will they continue to choose to cooperate deeply with Nanshan?"

"Except for a small number of parts, Nanshan QCD is far superior to its peers, and everyone may not give up."

"For most parts, as long as other similar manufacturers can be found, I am afraid that everyone will choose to find other manufacturers for cooperation."

"After all, once Nanshan chooses to build a car, all car companies will have a deep fear of him."

"Especially when their models compete with the models of various car companies, this fear will become more serious."

After Wang Fu's analysis, Liang Chuanqing couldn't help but nodded.

The truth is indeed this truth.

But what if the parts and components of Nanshan are really better than other manufacturers in the industry?

When the time comes, will everyone give up or not?

Of course, he wouldn't ask directly like this.

Instead, he changed the way of questioning and said, "Mr. Wang, logically speaking, this is indeed the case. But Aisin and Denso are also owned by Toyota Motor, but whether it is Ford, GM, or Honda, they are all related to Aisin. Xin or Denso have relatively deep business contacts."

"If Nanshan can be the same as Aisin or Denso in the future, wouldn't it also consider building a car?"

Although Liang Chuanqing thinks that Nanshan is unlikely to achieve the scale of Denso.

But anyone can see the momentum of Nanshan's development.

"If that scale can really be achieved, the profits of the parts industry will be enough for them to live well. In fact, it doesn't make much sense to make cars or not."

"Besides, even if we reach that step, it will be several years later."

"BYD's own engine and gearbox must have been developed by then."

"We have more choices to face the future situation."

After Wang Fu said this, Liang Chuanqing naturally couldn't say anything more.

Otherwise, it becomes a mere fault-finding.

"Then I will maintain close communication with them during this period, and discuss new plans in a timely manner if problems arise."

...

While BYD's people were discussing today's meeting, Nanshan immediately held a meeting after Wang Fu and the others left.

At this time, whether it was Ji Hua or Pan Jinxing, or Zeng Tingting and Luo Hongxing, it was much more straightforward to ask questions.

After all, if the problem is not brought up in time, when the big boss makes a decision, he will push it down, and if there is a big problem in the middle, someone will come out and take the blame.

"Mr. Cao, our company still lacks a technical expert who is proficient in engine research and development. There is no way to coordinate the overall development. This problem needs to be resolved as soon as possible."

Ji Hua has been studying gearboxes all his life.

Although he has a certain understanding of the engine because of the matching with the engine, it is certainly not enough to be able to preside over the development of the engine project.

"It is true that one person is needed to coordinate the overall situation, otherwise there will be a lot of people who need to coordinate in all aspects, and the promotion efficiency will be very low."

Although Pan Jinxing knew that the engine R\u0026D project had little to do with him, as the vice president of the company and also the person in charge of the design and transformation center, he was still very concerned with the engine project.

"All domestic companies have relatively little experience in engine research."

"It may not be so easy to find an expert who can lead our brand new project."

Liu Youmei, Minister of Human Resources and General Affairs, also stood up to express her opinion at this time.

She will definitely be responsible for the recruitment at that time.

But this kind of precise expert recruitment is very difficult if no one recommends it and there is no headhunting cooperation.

"I do know some people who are engaged in engine research and development at Ford, and some of them are Chinese."

"But I'm afraid not many are proficient in the overall design of the engine, and more people are only involved in the overall test of the engine and the development of individual parts."

Luo Hongxing, as the vice president of production hired from Ford Motor, gave his proposal for a day.

With Nanshan's current strength, the price of poaching people can barely bear.

Even poaching people from the United States.

Of course, individual experts can afford it.

If all employees are paid so high, it will definitely not be able to support it.

"Mr. Luo, you can first contact the experts you know to see if they are willing to come over."

"In addition, Minister Liu is also trying to find a way to contact some managers of companies such as Aerospace Mitsubishi and Dong'an Power to see if there are any suitable talents."

"We don't necessarily have to look for experts in engine research and development. Experts who are proficient in engine assembly and testing are also needed."

"Even if there are personnel proficient in engine structure, assembly and testing, it can basically meet the demand."

"After all, even a so-called expert cannot be proficient in every part."

Cao Yang has no way to say that he can also become an expert in engines.

After all, this matter is hard to explain.

"That's true, as long as there is no problem with the structure, all parts are involved, and then adjusted according to the test situation, a qualified engine can also be produced."

Ji Hua thought about the research and development process of the gearbox, and felt that what Cao Yang said was quite reasonable.

"In terms of engine theoretical research, the resources of various universities should be relatively sufficient. I think we can also consider how to use those resources in this regard."

When Pan Jinxing mentioned this, Cao Yang couldn't help but nodded.

When it comes to theoretical research, various domestic colleges and universities sometimes have a good level.

Now I just need a cover, so that Nanshan's engine can lead its peers in a relatively normal and reasonable form.

"Domestic colleges and universities have indeed made some achievements in theoretical research."

"Go back and contact Lingnan University of Technology, Beijing University of Technology and Jilin University, and set up some joint research projects on engines with them, so that they can provide us with theoretical support."

Cao Yang agreed to Pan Jinxing's proposal without any hesitation.

These days, it doesn't cost a lot of money to find colleges and universities to conduct theoretical cooperation research.

"In addition, the current situation in Yangcheng is a bit different from previous years. I think everyone has heard some news."

"I plan to launch a tough battle for the engine project in the next six months, and the entire Nanshan Industrial Park will operate in a closed production mode as much as possible."

"By taking the opportunity of researching the engine, we will also develop our related equipment."

"For example, various processing machine tools and some assembly equipment, we try our best to realize the internal operation of the company, so that our engine assembly line becomes the engine line with the highest production efficiency in China."

"At the same time, the gearbox business department has also begun to consider the research of a new generation of 8AT gearbox, and even theoretical research on 9AT and 10AT can also be carried out."

"In the future, our Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. will become the domestic component company with the strongest technical strength."

"I also hope that at this time, each employee can keep up with the company's development as much as possible..."

It is now January 2003, and it is logically logical to start the research on the engine project and engage in a closed battle.

Concentrate on big things, engine research and production is now a big thing for Nanshan.

Even due to the tight schedule, the engine assembly line needs to be considered in advance and then adjusted accordingly.

Otherwise, it will not be able to keep up with the large-scale mass production within this year.

If it were so easy to study an engine, BYD would not need to come to Nanshan for help.

With so many independent brand car companies in China, there is no need to purchase engines.

"Mr. Cao, if this is the case, the company's investment will be huge."

"When we have the engine and gearbox, can we consider producing the car directly?"

Ji Hua's earth-shattering statement immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Make your own car?

The idea seems appealing.

After all, the popularity of auto parts companies is in no way comparable to that of OEMs.

One is TO C and the other is TO B.

Influence is not a level at all.

"Professor Ji, if we directly produce cars, will anyone be willing to buy gearboxes from us in the future?"

"Even if someone buys the gearbox, what about the bearings?"

"What about the other components under study?"

After hearing this, Zeng Tingting immediately stood up to express her opposition.

As the head of the sales department, she absolutely does not support Nanshan to produce cars by himself.

At least not for now.

Besides, as far as she knows now, except for those joint ventures in China, most of the domestic independent brands do not earn as much money as Nanshan every year.

The models produced by independent brands are generally relatively low-end, with low profit margins.

In this case, it is better to sell parts to make money.

"What Minister Zeng said is indeed a big problem. Our company's parts business has already been considered a success."

"But when it comes to making cars, it doesn't mean that the parts can be sold well if the whole car is made well."

"It's full of a lot of uncertainties."

"I think there are already a lot of domestic auto companies."

"Like the United States, as the world's largest auto market, its annual sales are several times that of China, but the number of other car companies is only a fraction of that of China."

"In this case, it may not be appropriate for us to choose to produce cars."

"It's better to be a parts giant like Bosch and Magna. It's more appropriate."

Luo Hongxing also stood up to express support for Zeng Tingting's opinion.

When making a complete vehicle, the things that need to be considered are completely different from those when making parts.

If your spare parts can be done well, the whole car may not necessarily be able to sell well.

"There is no need to discuss this topic. In the next five years, the company has no plan to produce complete vehicles."

"Everyone can do a good job in the parts business first."

"Following around the engine project, various departments formed a project team as soon as possible. I personally acted as the project leader to get the research and development work started as soon as possible."

Naturally, it is impossible to handle everything in one meeting.

But at least it has unified everyone's understanding in the general direction.

The next step is to roll up your sleeves and work hard.

...

Nanshan has recruited personnel on a large scale again.

But this time recruiting is not fresh college students, but social recruitment.

Basically, as long as the past resume meets the requirements, after two rounds of telephone interviews, you will be directly notified to join the job.

This speed is absolutely exaggerated.

Originally, Cao Yang thought that the number of employees in Nanshan would not exceed 10,000 until college students entered the job in the summer of 2003.

But this spring, this number easily broke through.

The headhunters are happy with Nanshan's approach.

After all, for some key positions, it is impossible to recruit qualified candidates simply by relying on other people's active submission of resumes.

At this time, the importance of headhunting is reflected.

Headhunters specialize in talent recruitment, have rich contacts and resources, and can quickly find talents that meet the requirements of the company.

Compared with self-recruitment, recruiting talents through headhunting can shorten the recruitment cycle, reduce recruitment costs, and improve recruitment efficiency.

And headhunters will provide professional recruitment suggestions and solutions according to the needs and situations of enterprises to help enterprises recruit better.

In this wave, the headhunting companies that cooperated with Nanshan can be said to have won.

"Manager Yue, the monitors and department heads of the aerospace Mitsubishi engine assembly line, as long as you can recruit them, your salary will be doubled directly."

"We want as many people as there are. In addition, we also need as many technicians as we have in charge of assembly process design."

Liu Youmei is also crazy busy during this time.

Although some work can be arranged for the people below to do it.

But there are some things that require her to decide.

"Liu Bu, do you want personnel from the engine factories of companies such as Yangcheng Honda and Modu Volkswagen?"

Yue Rui has been recruiting personnel at Zhang Luo Nanshan during this time, and he is more active than Liu Youmei.

"If you can recruit people from the engine factories of Yangcheng Honda and other OEMs, that would be great."

"It's just that their salaries are not low. Unless they are really outstanding, otherwise we have no way to offer a higher salary than double."

As the head of the Human Resources and General Affairs Department, Liu Youmei reduced the cost of recruiting personnel, which was naturally one of the assessment indicators.

Otherwise, every position has an annual salary of one million, and you still worry about not being able to recruit people?

"I'm trying to give it a try."

"Nanshan is booming now, and many people can notice it."

"For many people, in addition to considering salary, they also consider the company's development prospects very much."

When Yue Rui said that, Liu Youmei naturally had no objection.

She only cares about the final result.

The charging standard of the headhunting company is determined according to the salary level of the talent position. The higher the position, the higher the charging standard.

For a headhunter to recruit a person, he will almost have to pay the person's three to five months' salary as the headhunting fee. This amount of money is not small at all.

Let the other party work hard and get used to it.
