Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

Some people think that the efficiency of Chuncheng Volkswagen is not good, it is because the things you want to promote are not what others urgently want to do.

For example, the new plan to reduce the price of nut plates was approved in just half a month, and the implementation began smoothly.

As the first batch of nut plates produced by Nanshan Auto Parts Factory were transported to Chuncheng for stamping, and then transferred to Chuncheng Volkswagen and Modu Volkswagen, Cao Yang's mood immediately became better.

Once the equipment is in motion, the factory will be able to survive.

Not to mention the current nut plate, the profit margin is not low at all.

Even in the automotive industry, small parts such as bolts, nuts, and clamps have higher profit margins in the early stages.

Like a tire, if the selling price doubles the cost price, it is definitely unrealistic.

But small parts such as bolts are really hard to say.

Although the situation of the nut plate is not so complicated, the technology of Nanshan Auto Parts Factory is quite special after all, and it is normal for the profit margin to be high.

"Director Cao, the Germans from Modu Volkswagen will come to inspect next Wednesday. I will make an appointment with Secretary Zeng about your schedule first."

After going around Shanghai and Chuncheng, and returning triumphantly, Zhang Fugui's spirit has changed.

However, he was still a little apprehensive when he suddenly received a call from Li Jianfeng saying that two Germans who were in charge of parts procurement and parts quality were coming.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

He has no idea.

"Didn't the people of Shanghai just release our pigeons some time ago? Why are you coming here suddenly?"

Cao Yang also immediately noticed that this was strange.

"I asked Li Jianfeng. It is said that the Germans confirmed the localized nut plate. I thought the relevant data was a bit strange, so I wanted to come and have a look."

"What kind of strange method?"

"The other party didn't say anything, so Li Jianfeng probably doesn't know about it himself."

"If they want to come, then come, anyway, there is no manufacturer in the world that makes nut plates better than ours!"

Cao Yang is very confident about the nut plates produced by his own factory.

...

"Bu Defan, yesterday I arranged for another batch of nut plates to be randomly inspected. All the data are very stable, almost all of which are near zero tolerance. I'm really curious how they did it."

On the plane from Modu to Yangcheng, Dr. Hassan, the mass quality manager of Modu, and Bu Defan, the manager of the parts procurement department, sat side by side in the business class, talking in a low voice.

The two of them were stationed in Shanghai at the same time, and they have a very good personal relationship.

Coupled with the very close relationship at work, the relationship between each other is even more familiar.

"With the production level of the Huaxia people, it is very ideal to ensure that all parts are within the tolerance. Now the nut plate looks inconspicuous, but the manufacturing process is not simple at all. The precision can reach I can't figure out a level close to 0 tolerance."

Bu Defan obviously felt that this matter was a bit beyond his understanding.

"Could it be that they have specially selected every part and screened out unqualified products?"

Hassan thought of a possibility.

The matter of full inspection of parts exists in many parts of the car.

If Nanshan Auto Parts Factory applies this requirement to the nut plate, it can theoretically achieve what it is now.

"Impossible! If this is the case, then the cost of their parts will be very high. At the price of 5 yuan, there is no profit margin at all."

"Forget it, I'll figure out the reason in the afternoon, so don't think about it for now."

"This is not a big deal, but the global sales of the headquarters have not been very good in the past few years. Not to mention that the sales of GM and Ford are much higher than ours, and the sales of Toyota and DaimlerChrysler are also higher than ours."

When Bu Defan said this, he couldn't help frowning.

His family is scattered, but there are about a dozen people in the Volkswagen Group.

It is not a problem to say that we share weal and woe with the company.

"This matter is something that the sales department should worry about. What does it have to do with us?"

Dr. Hassan didn't understand why Bu Defan suddenly brought up this topic.

"It may not have much to do with you, but it has more to do with our procurement. The headquarters proposed this year to reduce procurement costs by one billion dollars globally, and now they are desperately trying to figure out a way."

When Bu Defan said this, Hassan suddenly realized something, "Is it possible that you want the headquarters to import parts from China? Their cost is sometimes relatively low, but the quality is not guaranteed at all."

"I thought so before, but the current situation of the nut board has subverted our cognition a little bit?"

"So this time you are so active and pulled me over to investigate together?"

Dr. Hassan finally figured out the real purpose of this business trip.

"Yeah, I want to find out whether Chinese people are really capable of making cheap and beautiful auto parts!"

...

Taking time, Cao Yang once again led the company's ministers to wait at the gate of the factory for the inspection experts from the mass purchasing department and quality management department of the magic city.

Since he was on a business trip with the Germans, Li Jianfeng specifically rejected the pick-up arrangement from Nanshan Auto Parts Factory.

Everyone put on a businesslike look.

This time, from the moment Li Jianfeng and his team landed to the Nanshan Auto Parts Factory, nothing happened.

After the routine greetings and business cards exchange, we started to get down to business.

For Bu Defan and Dr. Hassan, they just want to go to the site to see the production of the nut plate with their own eyes, and then discuss other things.

Naturally, Cao Yang had no reason to refuse this request.

So the group quickly entered the workshop.

"Amazing!"

"It's amazing that you guys have used such a process to make nut plates."

As soon as he came to the processing station of the nut plate, Bu Defan stared at the equipment in front of him with his eyes shining.

The difference between the nut plates produced by Nanshan Auto Parts Factory and those produced by other manufacturers can be felt at a glance.

Especially the long mold is obviously different from other manufacturers.

Bu Defan, who is knowledgeable, can naturally realize the extraordinary.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bu Defan, you can look at it as you like, but you can't take pictures."

Just as the other party picked up the camera and was about to take a picture of the mold under the stamping machine, Cao Yang stepped forward to stop it.

Shanghai Volkswagen in 1999 was definitely a giant for domestic suppliers.

In recent years, Bu Defan has visited various manufacturers because of the localization of various parts.

As a purchasing manager from Germany, most of the time, he is served with delicious food and drinks. Let alone taking a few photos at the production site, it is no problem to take a video recorder to record.

This is the first time that this kind of photo taking has been blocked today.

What no one expected happened today.
