Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

After seeing off the unexpected visitor without any risk, Cao Yang continued to take He Qingquan to compete with the stamping equipment.

In the past few days, another major event happened in Nanshan Auto Parts Factory.

"Director, our wheel bolts have been successfully trial-manufactured."

"From the current measured tensile strength, yield strength and dimensional accuracy, there is no problem."

"The corrosion resistance cycle test of SST and CCT started today, and related SPEC tests such as wear resistance, oil resistance, and weather resistance are also being carried out as planned."

Cai Rong is going to be crazy busy during this time.

On the one hand, there was such a freak as He Qingquan under his command, which indirectly brought him a lot of pressure.

On the other hand, the factory has begun to enter the new field of wheel bolts, and he also has a lot to learn.

Seeing that all the equipment was installed in place and the trial production of wheel bolts started, his pressure did not decrease at all.

"How long will it take to complete?"

Cao Yang is very confident in the technology given by the system.

So there is no worry at all that the wheel bolts will not meet the requirements of the drawings and SPEC.

For him, testing is nothing more than a process.

"Currently, the SST test takes 960 hours, or 40 days, which is the longest time spent in single product testing."

"In addition, some customers may require a full vehicle test, and this schedule is more uncontrollable."

In Cai Rong's view, the progress of the wheel bolt project of Nanshan Auto Parts Factory is already very fast.

In less than a year, the product has already been released.

And the products of Ford and GM are advancing together.

However, Cao Yang is obviously still not satisfied with this speed.

Nanshan Auto Parts Factory only produces two products now, even if he already has points that can be exchanged for new products, he doesn't have enough funds to invest in new production lines again.

After all, no matter how much money the nut board makes, it is not as fast as investing in equipment.

In addition, the training and recruitment of personnel also takes time, so even if Cao Yang's current points can be exchanged for some new technologies, there is no action for the time being.

He had to wait for the wheel nuts to enter mass production before starting a new project.

Of course, it is now.

When the scale is up and there is no shortage of personnel and funds, you can start several projects at the same time.

That was the time when Nanshan Auto Parts Factory developed rapidly.

"According to you, when is the soonest we can supply wheel nuts to General Motors and Ford?"

"Factory Manager, even if the other party does not require the durability test of the whole vehicle, it will take three months at the earliest before mass production and supply can begin."

Cai Rong gave an ideal answer based on the test schedule and the schedule of the subsequent internal review of the OEM.

However, Cao Yang was not satisfied with this answer.

"Our wheel nut production line is ready for mass production, but we have to wait for the other party's approval."

"This is really too slow. We are directly promoting single product testing, and at the same time contacting the global procurement centers of General Motors and Ford Motors, and sending our parts to them for simultaneous confirmation."

"At the same time, the change process that should be taken should also be promoted to compress the time as much as possible."

"Especially with General Motors, we have signed an agreement, and they need to purchase 20 million US dollars of parts from us."

"If the agreed amount is not reached, they will pay us directly."

"So GM's procurement center should also be more active in promoting these proposals."

"For the specific content, you can work with the purchasing and sales department."

Cao Yang's instruction put a lot of pressure on Cai Rong.

This is not a normal way of doing things.

General suppliers have new parts that need to be switched during mass production, and they will definitely not start the change process until the single product test and vehicle test are completed.

Now it is progressing synchronously.

Do you really think Ford Motors and General Motors are your own?

Cai Rong only dared to complain in his heart, but obediently pushed forward in action.

"By the way, call Dai Hanbiao again, and I'll let him start preparing for the production of wheel nuts."

Before Cai Rong could say anything, Cao Yang added another sentence.

This time, Cai Rong couldn't bear it anymore.

"Director, isn't it too early to prepare for production now?"

"Let's not talk about whether all the tests are OK, even if there is no problem, normally we have to wait for the customer's approval before we start production."

Cai Rong felt that his factory manager was a little too hasty.

This is completely out of order.

There are tens of thousands of parts on the car, and the change of each part is very cautious.

Otherwise, there would have been many problems.

"After approval by GM and Ford, we will order materials, prepare for production, and then export and transport them to the United States. At least two months will be wasted in the middle."

"Time waits for me. I can't afford to waste these two months."

"Now we are directly preparing to enter mass production. First, we will produce a batch of parts and then ship them directly to the United States. After our parts arrive, almost all the procedures in the middle have been completed, and we can start supplying them."

Cao Yang's words stunned Cai Rong.

Can you still operate like this?

He has worked in technology for more than ten years and has never heard of such a plan.

Don't even dare to think like this.

If there is a problem in the middle, and some modifications to the product or production conditions are required, all the parts produced in advance will be scrapped.

Normally, the possibility of some problems that need to be modified is almost 100%.

This also means that Nanshan Auto Parts Factory has to scrap a large number of wheel nuts.

Even after the localization of wheel nuts, the cost is much lower than that of the original manufacturer, and it cannot withstand such a toss.

"Director, I think the risk of starting mass production now is too great."

"At that time, we may lose all the money we earn from producing nut plates, and it may not even be enough."

"It just came out of near-bankruptcy last year and it's going to be there again."

Cai Rong still has feelings for Nanshan Auto Parts Factory.

Naturally, he didn't want Cao Yang to mess around there, and his work would be gone by then.

"Normally, the risk of doing that is high."

"I have faith in these wheel nuts, though."

"Besides, haven't you already determined some basic physical and chemical properties of the finished product, so there is no problem?"

Cao Yang knew that his operation was a bit aggressive.

So it was very patient to talk to Cai Rong.

"Haste makes waste, factory manager, at least we have to wait until our SST test is finished before making a judgment, will it be safer?"

Cai Rong still wanted to work harder.

But Cao Yang couldn't listen, "Just do what I tell you, and if something goes wrong, it will be regarded as paying the tuition fee."

Cai Rong: ...

This tuition fee may be a bit expensive!

Is it possible that Mr. Cao is going to follow the path of Mr. Dong from Chuncheng Press?
