Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

When Cao Yang was immersed in technology research and development inside the Nanshan Group, the outside world was actually not calm.

The car circle is not as big as everyone thinks.

But whenever there is a disturbance, many colleagues can feel it.

Just like now, Tao Wen was talking to Zhu Zhengfeng about a rather strange thing.

"Mr. Zhu, a few days ago I communicated with people from Spring City, and heard a rather special news."

"I went to find out about it in the past two days, and found it really strange."

After Tao Wen said this, Zhu Zhengfeng naturally put down the document in his hand and looked at her curiously.

"Chuncheng Volkswagen seems to have begun to comprehensively reduce the cooperation with Nanshan Group."

"But any parts that other manufacturers can produce will no longer use Nanshan Group."

"Not to mention the new models, even the parts that are being mass-produced, their purchases have also begun to take various actions."

"It is estimated that by next year, Nanshan Group will not have any direct transactions with Chuncheng Volkswagen."

Tao Wen is naturally very clear about the technical strength of Nanshan Group.

Seeing that Spring City Volkswagen actually took such a measure, it was obvious that Volkswagen had broken up with Nanshan Group.

Otherwise, right now is the honeymoon period for the cooperation between Spring City Motor Group and Nanshan Group.

Whether it is auto parts business or equipment, there are many cooperation projects.

But at Chuncheng Volkswagen, it was driving backwards.

There is obviously a story here.

"Volkswagen made such a big move just because Xingchen Motors snatched a part of the Olympic sponsorship?"

Zhu Zhengfeng looked at Tao Wen in surprise.

Obviously, this result was not expected by him.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be.

"This should be only one of the reasons. The news of the collision between Ziweixing and Audi TT should also be a factor."

"In addition, judging from this year's car sales, the growth rate of self-owned brands has surpassed that of North and South Volkswagen for the first time."

"And one of the important reasons why the sales of these self-owned brands have improved is that they use a large number of parts from Nanshan engines and Nanshan gearboxes."

"In this case, Volkswagen is naturally very hostile to Nanshan Group."

"Volkswagen's current action is due to a combination of various reasons."

Tao Wen naturally didn't do any work these days.

"The people from Nanshan Group didn't ask us to coordinate, did they?"

Zhu Zhengfeng always felt that something was wrong with this matter.

When encountering such a thing, shouldn't Nanshan Group go to Volkswagen and Spring City Motor Group?

Otherwise, did he really give up the business of Spring City Volkswagen?

Are they so confident that domestic independent brands can surpass joint ventures?

"So far, they should not have talked to us about this topic."

"I estimate that their business has expanded a lot in the past two years, and Volkswagen is not their biggest customer."

"That's why they don't care that much."

Tao Wen combined the information he had learned and gave an analysis conclusion.

However, Zhu Zhengfeng did not quite agree.

"Based on my understanding of Nanshan Group and Cao Yang, he is not the kind of person who thinks that suffering is a blessing."

"Volkswagen's targeting of Nanshan Group in this way is obviously going to tear its face apart."

"I don't think it's normal if Nanshan Group doesn't take any action."

It has to be said that although Zhu Zhengfeng's abilities and vision in other aspects may not be particularly outstanding, he still has his own uniqueness in judging people.

"How can a component company of Nanshan Group retaliate against Volkswagen?"

"I guess they just pinched their noses and pretended nothing happened."

Tao Wen couldn't help arguing with Zhu Zhengfeng.

According to her understanding of the domestic auto parts industry, these manufacturers have to deal with OEMs, and if they die, they will sue them for violating laws and regulations, so they can do something about it.

Other means are really weak.

After all, compared with auto parts companies, the local influence of auto OEMs is not at the same level.

"Pay more attention to the relevant news of Spring City Volkswagen and Modu Public in the next few months."

"I always feel that this matter is not that simple."

Everyone relied on their feelings to guess, so Zhu Zhengfeng didn't say anything to Tao Wen.

Just arrange for her to keep an eye on the movements of the two parties, to see if she can see anything tricky behind them.

...

"Mr. Cao, there is something I want to tell you."

Obviously Spring City Motor Group is not the only one who has felt the change in Chuncheng Volkswagen's attitude towards Nanshan Group.

After some people heard the news, they just watched the fun from the sidelines.

After some people heard the news, they felt that their chance had come.

But there are also some people who know the news and are the beneficiaries of it, but they have more worries in their hearts.

Lu Jiansheng of the universal bearing belongs to the last type.

"Mr. Lu, it's rare to see you call me, what's the matter, what happened?"

Although Wanxiang has a competitive relationship with Nanshan Bearing, they were also partners who had filed a lawsuit together in the United States at the beginning.

So the relationship between the two is actually not particularly deadlocked.

"Something really happened."

Lu Jiansheng considered his language for a while, and began to say: "Our company officially received the contact today. The wheel bearing orders from Spring City Volkswagen and Magic City Volkswagen will be officially switched to Wanxiang starting from July 1 this year."

"Have you heard the news?"

"Volkswagen has even started switching mass-produced models?"

Cao Yang asked in surprise.

This rhetorical question is also more clear than any answer.

"Mr. Cao, although I have been trying my best to get orders from North and South Volkswagen, but according to our previous thinking, a part of it is enough."

"So people from Volkswagen contacted us to try to produce a batch of parts before, and then carried out various tests. We actively cooperated."

"It's just that I didn't expect them to completely switch the Nanshan bearings."

"Mr. Cao, is there some misunderstanding here?"

Most of the bearing steel for universal bearings is now purchased from Nanshan Special Steel.

So they naturally don't want to completely freeze the relationship with Nanshan Group.

Otherwise, there might be something bad left behind by then.

"Mr. Lu, I am already very grateful that you can call me this time."

"This matter has nothing to do with you."

Cao Yang would not be angry with them because Wanxiang took his bearing order.

Even if there is no Wanxiang, there will be SKF and NTN. Since Volkswagen is going to Nanshan, all parts supplied by Nanshan Group to Volkswagen will be replaced by other manufacturers.

It's just that I didn't expect this speed to be so fast.

It seems that my preparations in other areas also need to be accelerated.

"Then you may have to pay attention. I feel that Spring City Volkswagen and Magic City Volkswagen are not only taking action on wheel bearings, but also on other parts produced by Nanshan Group."

Lu Jiansheng is very loyal to be able to say that.

After all, they are beneficiaries and competitors.

"Our Nanshan Group will have no hope for Volkswagen in the future."

"However, Mr. Lu, I don't think the universal bearing should be hanged on a tree. The North and South Volkswagen does not necessarily represent the future of China's auto industry."

This can be regarded as a wake-up call for Cao Yang.

In the follow-up, he has a lot of actions aimed at Volkswagen. At the same time, his support for independent brands will also increase.

As long as the self-owned brand solves the quality problems of the engine and gearbox, and everyone has a sense of trust, the future is actually very worth looking forward to.

After all, there are few people who are unwilling to buy a car at a price that is nearly half cheaper.

"Thank you, Mr. Cao, for your reminder. If the production capacity of bearings at Nanshan Transmission is not enough in the future, you can always come to us."

Lu Jiansheng knew that Nanshan Transmission is now the company with the largest demand for bearings in China.

However, Nanshan Bearing's own products were used before.

He didn't have particularly high expectations.

Just casually raised his mouth.

As for whether this mouth will pay off in the future, it doesn't really matter.

After hanging up on Lu Jiansheng, Cao Yang immediately called Zeng Tingting over.

"North and South Volkswagen, did you tell us that some of the mass-produced parts will be switched to other manufacturers?"

Cao Yang believed that what Lu Jiansheng said must be true.

He didn't have to lie to himself.

But whether Volkswagen has actively shared this news with Nanshan Group is another matter.

"I haven't received any news that the new model is a fixed point, but there is no special movement on the mass-produced model."

"If you have to say something special, it is a bit strange that the order volume in the last month has dropped by 30% compared with the same period last year."

"Mr. Cao, did you hear something?"

When Zeng Tingting said this, Cao Yang basically knew it.

It seems that the people in the North and South are really going to abandon the Nanshan Group.

From now on, everyone is considered to be a complete enemy.

Whatever tricks you have, you can use them boldly.

...

"President Li, the relevant arrangements for Emgrand and Passat are all ready."

"We also asked the technical department to do some tests on the material strength of the Passat's A-pillar, and there are indeed some problems."

"The 'car accident' this time has a high probability of unfolding as we expected."

As the head of the sales department of Geely Automobile, Peng Lin naturally asked him to coordinate these matters.

And because there are many things involved in various aspects, many things cannot be known to too many people.

Otherwise, after the news spreads in the future, it will have a very bad impact on Geely's reputation.

"Then arrange it as soon as possible."

"Remember to keep up with the relevant publicity, and you can also say hello to Autohome in private, and let them cooperate when the time comes."

"I heard that North and South Volkswagen are starting to reduce the parts business of Nanshan Group. Autohome should be willing to help with this."

Li Su didn't raise his head, while signing and approving the documents in his hand, he was talking to Peng Lin at the same time.

"No problem, these are all planned, just proceed normally."

"I thought that after this news came out, Shanghai Volkswagen would probably arrange for the vehicle to go to the China Automobile Center for a crash test immediately. Then we will see how to use the test results to make a bigger car together. article."

"Or follow the offensive of public opinion and push China Automobile Center to take the initiative to do the Passat's crash test."

"If the test results at that time are consistent with the situation of the car accident, the impact on the Passat will definitely be huge."

Peng Lin knew very well how to compete with Passat in order to quickly enhance the brand power of Emgrand.

As mid-to-high-end sedans with similar dimensions, although Emgrand and Passat cannot be said to be direct competitors.

But there is still some competition between them.

"Then you should go to the China Automobile Center in person and promote this test secretly."

"Even if it's the people of Magic City, they probably won't object to this test."

"It's just that they themselves didn't expect the test results to be so bad."

Li Su sneered, looking forward to seeing the results of the Passat's crash test.

As a mid-to-high-end car sold in Germany, the symbolic meaning of Passat is extraordinary.

If the Passat falls at that time, the impact on the North and South people will definitely be huge.

This should be the situation that Nanshan Group most wants to see now.

Soon, following the conversation between Peng Lin and Li Su, in the evening of that day, there was a news that a Passat and an Emgrand had a car accident and a serious collision occurred on Autohome.

On various forums, there are even pictures of the A-pillars of the Passat after being collided.

On the contrary, although Geely Automobile cannot be said to be unscathed, the cockpit is really unharmed.

Under such circumstances, driven by caring people, a wave of public opinion that Passat's quality is not good will naturally be launched.

Even in a Volkswagen 4S store in Shanghai, several customers asked to return their cars.

And this scene was "unintentionally" exposed on the Internet.

In this way, the reputation of Passata, or the people of Modu, will naturally become even worse.

Considering the models of Modu Volkswagen, you can basically find brother cars in Spring City Volkswagen.

This time the Passat is no exception.

So a lot of comments are also brought to Magotan.

This made the people in the south a little anxious.

For them, Magotan and Passat are the most profitable models among Volkswagen brands.

If there are problems with these two models, Volkswagen's development in China will be restricted.

The tragedy collided with the scene pictures, plus the disappointing performance of the Passat.

In just one day, the Internet is full of negative comments related to Passat or Volkswagen.

This is something that many car companies did not expect.
