Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

"Mr. Cao, our Chang'an Province just held a meeting and decided to halve all taxes on Nanshan Carbon Fiber in the next three years."

"If Nanshan Carbon Fiber and other brother enterprises are short of funds and need loans, the Chang'an Provincial Finance Department will help advance the interest within three years."

As an old acquaintance of Cao Yang, Liu Tianwu did not call Cao Yang two days ago.

He didn't get in touch until Nanshan Automobile Group started cutting off supplies to GM and Ford, and after relevant departments approached Venus Technology to place a one-time order for 100 Kunpeng heavy transport helicopters.

And he didn't come with some empty words of comfort, but brought real benefits.

Isn’t the United States suppressing various enterprises under the Nanshan Group in all aspects?

Then China will definitely support the development of various enterprises affiliated to Nanshan Group in an all-round way.

For example, Chang'an Province directly provides tax reductions and exemptions to companies such as Nanshan Carbon Fiber.

As the world's top carbon fiber company, Nanshan Carbon Fiber is now almost the largest company in Chang'an City, with more than 20,000 employees.

And most of them are highly educated people.

"Thank you for your leadership support!"

"In the past, we mainly had Nanshan Automobile Group doing more business in the United States. Several other groups had relatively small businesses in the United States, so the impact is relatively limited for the time being."

"If the situation changes in the future and support from relevant departments is needed, I will definitely not be polite to you."

Naturally, Cao Yang accepted the support from tax incentives without hesitation.

Don’t worry about the rest.

Nanshan Group is still stable now.

"The United States has many allies around the world. I am worried that if they find that the effect of this suppression is not very satisfactory, they will push their allies to suppress you in the future."

"I think you also need to think about this move in advance."

Liu Tianwu's reminder is obviously not unreasonable.

There is no bottom line for things done in the United States.

People have determined that the Nanshan Group will pose a huge threat to many companies in the United States, so they must suppress the other party in all aspects.

If one trick doesn't work, then try another trick until it has an effect.

"You are right, so this time we are going to severely suppress some American companies."

"It would be better to cut off one of his fingers than to injure ten of them!"

"We abolished Shanghai General Motors and Changan Ford, and paralyzed the business of Ford Motor and General Motors in China."

"Then push all OEMs not to use American parts companies, so that their automobile industry will have no way to enjoy the dividends of the development of China's automobile market."

"This alone is enough for them to drink a pot."

For Liu Tianwu, there are many things that can be said, and there is no need to hide much.

The trusting relationship we have established over the years is relatively strong.

"We really need to fight back properly, otherwise America's actions will become more and more outrageous."

"In addition to dealing with General Motors and Ford, it would be best to take some actions in other areas to make the United States feel the pain."

Liu Tianwu definitely supports Cao Yang's approach.

Sometimes officials should not be too extreme when doing things, and must consider various factors.

However, as a private enterprise, Nanshan Group's counterattack is completely reasonable when it is being dealt with by the United States, and it is relatively easy for everyone to accept it.

Even if these methods are a bit extreme, it doesn't matter.

"If Daystar Technology really builds a large passenger aircraft in the future, then all airlines will definitely give their full support and they can order as many orders as they want."

"In addition, we have several other actions in the pipeline, and we will see you soon."

When Cao Yang said this, Liu Tianwu breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that under the all-round suppression from the United States, Nanshan Group will not only not be defeated, but can also take some counterattack measures.

This puts him at ease a lot.

However, he is relieved, while some companies are a little nervous.

"Strauss, Nanshan Automobile Group suddenly cut off supply to Modus GM and Changan Ford. It is said that some of Modus GM's production lines have begun to stop production today."

"Starting tomorrow, we will enter a stage of complete shutdown."

"We are now also beginning to expand the use of Nanshan Auto Parts and Nanshan Transmission products. If the relationship between us becomes tense in the future and the other party resorts to cutting off supply, then we may be a little bit overwhelmed."

Vondel's mood is a bit complicated now.

On the one hand, if Volkswagen GM and Changan Ford, two of Volkswagen's main competitors in China, fall, the pressure on Volkswagen in China will definitely be much less.

Even sales that have never been able to grow, or have even dropped a bit, will have the opportunity to increase again.

But on the other hand, they felt a hint of coolness.

If Volkswagen breaks up with Nanshan Automobile Group in the future, will the other party be so forceful in cutting off supply?

Or in the future, the United States will force Germany to take some measures to suppress the Nanshan Group. Will Spring City Volkswagen and Magic City Volkswagen become victims?

In the past, people may have thought that this kind of thing was unlikely to happen.

But now, everything is possible.

After all, in recent years, the United States has been using all kinds of tricks to suppress the Nanshan Group.

“Someone on the Internet exposed Nanshan Auto Parts’ supply cutoff letter to Shanghai General Motors.”

"According to them, this is caused by the suppression by the United States and is a force majeure."

"Nanshan Automobile Group has provided related products to many customers over the years, but it has never cut off supply before, and I have never heard of the other party using supply problems to put pressure on OEMs."

"So I think as long as Germany doesn't make some stupid moves out of a hot head, our situation in China can still be stable."

Obviously, Strauss feels that Nanshan Automobile Group's threat of supply cuts will not have a great impact on Volkswagen.

On the one hand, Volkswagen likes to have A/B points internally, that is, the same part will be produced by two suppliers.

Then even if one supplier has supply problems, you can temporarily find manufacturer B to supply the goods.

This solution can achieve very good results in terms of supply security and cost reduction.

Even for manufacturers at point A/B, when negotiating price reductions, they will actively offer to reduce prices more in order to obtain a higher share of supply.

This kind of thing is simply unthinkable for a monopolistic manufacturer.

"I just don't know how long this conflict between the United States and the Nanshan Group will last and whether it will affect Germany."

Vondel thinks more.

When Volkswagen was in China this year, it could be said that its vitality was severely damaged due to DSG problems.

He was also very worried that what happened next would also affect them.

That was a situation he absolutely didn't want to see.

And the one that also has the same big worries as Volkswagen is Apple.

"Mr. Wang, the difficulties faced by various companies in the Nanshan Group this time are also related to Apple headquarters."

"I'm worried that Honor Technology will also use some counterattack methods at that time, and it may regard us as its opponents."

Lin Rong was feeling very nervous now.

She has already noticed the conflicts between Nanshan Automobile Group, Mordu General Motors and Changan Ford.

She also saw Daystar Technology’s counterattack against Boeing.

Then the next step is likely to be Honor Technology's move.

"China's economy is still highly dependent on exports."

"Although they will take some countermeasures, they should not go straight to a full-scale quarrel without a bottom line."

"So I'm not too worried about our computer and other businesses."

"But the mobile phone business originally thought about whether the new models launched this year have little to do with Honor mobile phones, and whether they can apply to be sold in China again."

"If we do this now, it will probably be ruined."

What Wang Ziming cares most about is the Apple mobile phone business, which is very profitable and the sales volume is worth looking forward to.

Apple Computer is very profitable globally, but its sales in China are not particularly ideal.

However, it may be difficult to maintain this less than ideal number in the future.

"Nanshan Automobile Group's approach to dealing with General Motors and Ford was very radical. They directly gave up a few months of buffer time and chose to cut off supply immediately."

"I heard that because of this incident, both GM and Changan Ford will cease production in the next six months."

"The most important thing is that after half a year of suspension, even if they resume production, it is estimated that sales will not be able to recover."

Lin Rong mentioned a very hot topic these days, which is that GM and Changan Ford have begun to stop production.

Although only two of their OEMs have stopped production, all of their suppliers will be affected.

If you are a supplier that is highly dependent on these two businesses, you will definitely have to stop production.

Other manufacturers that have more customers may just stop production on part of their production lines.

But no matter which one it is, the overall impact is actually quite large.

"Nanshan Automobile Group's methods are very radical because the measures taken by the United States this time will cause the greatest harm to Nanshan Automobile Group."

"The other Venus Technologies and Honor Technologies basically have no business in the United States."

"Under this situation, Nanshan Automobile Group will definitely do something."

When Wang Ziming said this, Lin Rong couldn't help but nodded.

This is indeed the truth, but no one knows how far the situation will develop.

She was still very worried.

"Didn't we propose to the headquarters before that we should ease the relationship with Honor Technology Group?"

"Even if we allow Honor phones to be sold in the United States again, it would be beneficial for us to open up our markets to each other."

"As a result, this matter has not yet been implemented, and it cannot be implemented completely."

"I think there is actually no need for the headquarters to get involved in this suppression."

Lin Rong was obviously dissatisfied with some of the practices of Apple headquarters.

But this can only mean that everyone’s position is different and their perspective on thinking about the problem is different.

For people at Apple headquarters, they want to participate in the suppression of Nanshan Semiconductor and Honor Technology. The businesses of these two companies complement each other.

"The headquarters has its own considerations. This is not something we can interfere with."

"But in the next step, we can participate more in some public welfare undertakings in China and improve our brand image."

"This should be good for our long-term operations in China."

Wang Ziming can now only consider improving Apple China's situation from other perspectives.

But he also knows that no matter how much improvement is made, sales this year will definitely not be optimistic.

The development of all American companies in China is expected to be pessimistic this year.

Because there are already some voices on the Chinese Internet boycotting products produced in the United States.

"Hey, why did it become like this?"

"If the Nanshan Group regards us as the main target of revenge, it will be a big headache."

Lin Rong sighed, there was no better way.

…

"Holm, GM and Changan Ford have all given us orders for wheel hub bearings and other bearing products for some models."

"But according to their planned output, we need to recruit additional workers for shift production, and we need to introduce new production lines as soon as possible."

Xue Wenqiang has been extremely happy these days.

People sit at home and orders come from heaven.

Originally, he no longer expected his performance to improve significantly. It would be good if he could stabilize his basic market.

Unexpectedly, the United States suppressed the Nanshan Group in all aspects, including Nanshan Auto Parts.

Nanshan Auto Parts has directly cut off its supply to GM and Changan Ford.

Now the other party's production lines have stopped.

Therefore, even if SKF's quotation has not been fully submitted, Modu GM and Changan Ford have already notified them to start preparing parts.

In terms of schedule, the sooner the better, don’t be afraid of spending money.

Faced with this situation, Xue Wenqiang was naturally very happy.

"Well, I have already reported it to the company, and the relevant equipment procurement is also in progress."

"Nanshan Auto Parts not only lost orders from GM and Changan Ford this time, but also lost export orders from the United States."

Holm also suffered a lot of losses from the Nanshan Group back then. Now that it sees that the Nanshan Group is going to be unlucky, it will definitely take pleasure in its misfortune.

"Yes, I asked around, and there are no export orders from the United States."

"And it's not just the bearings that are lost, but other parts as well."

"Ford Motors and General Motors are very important customers of Nanshan Automobile Group, and the impact this time is absolutely huge."

"Maybe some other companies will have concerns in the future and will not continue to expand the use of Nanshan Automobile Group's parts."

"Especially for foreign automobile giants such as Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW, people will definitely be worried."

In Xue Wenqiang's view, Nanshan Automobile Group made a bad move.

Although I felt better, my reputation was ruined.

It is better to simply wait for the other party to take the initiative to stop purchasing Nanshan Automobile Group's parts. In that case, no one will say that Nanshan Automobile Group is not good.

"Well, we must make good use of this opportunity to expand production capacity as soon as possible and increase our market share in China."

"If you miss this opportunity, it will not be so easy to expand your business in the future."

Holm obviously also thinks this matter is a good opportunity.

They also started working towards this aspect immediately.

Many other foreign auto parts giants who have suffered losses from Nanshan Auto Parts also feel that their spring has arrived.

Everyone is busy expanding production and recruiting people.

No one has thought whether GM and Changan Ford can continue to maintain such high market shares in the future.

…

While many parts manufacturers are gloating about their misfortune, some independent brand car companies feel that their opportunity has come.

In the past two years, Modu GM has been the champion of China's automobile sales.

Now Nanshan Auto Parts has stopped production, and there is no way to resume it in a short time.

As the second-largest seller, Chery Automobile must have a lot of ideas.

"Mr. Yin, we have communicated with all 4S stores, and the relevant marketing techniques have also been updated."

"However, I think if we can recruit some sales staff from GM and Changan Ford at this time, we can achieve better results."

"After all, they are the ones who know the advantages and disadvantages of their products best. Then we can seize the market in a more targeted manner."

"We even brought some 4S stores directly here."

As the sales director of Chery Automobile, Wang Ze has been working hard for Chery Automobile to achieve the number one sales position during this period.

In the past two years, although Chery Automobile has maintained its second position in the industry, it has experienced stagflation.

The company has launched more and more types of models, but sales have not increased significantly.

Even the monthly sales of some models have declined to a certain extent.

This made Wang Ze feel particularly stressed.

Fortunately, in the first half of this year, Volkswagen's DSG problem was exposed by 3.15, and sales dropped sharply, giving China's own brands an opportunity to seize part of the market.

Now, GM and Changan Ford are even more exaggerated, directly freeing up space for hundreds of thousands of vehicles per month.

If we can eat a big piece of this cake, Chery Automobile will be able to hit the sales target of 1 million this year.

"The salary package of the sales staff at Modu GM should be quite high. If we recruit them, it will easily destroy our current salary system. How do you think about this aspect?"

As the general manager, Yin Chuan has a lot to consider.

Of course, he knew that digging people in Magic City General at this time would be beneficial to seize other people's markets.

However, in the long run, other impacts also need to be considered.

Relatively speaking, Chery Automobile's treatment is not that high.

If the morale of the original sales team within the company is destroyed because of recruiting a few people from Magic City General Motors, then the gain outweighs the loss.

"This is actually simple. You can set the salary a little higher during recruitment, but after you figure out the situation in a few months, you can just fire them on the grounds that they failed to pass the assessment during the internship period."

When Wang Ze said this, Yin Chuan fell silent.

He is definitely not suitable to give direct instructions on this kind of matter.

However, he would definitely not object, so he said: "You can make your own judgment regarding the sales department. I only look at the results."

…

While all parties were tossing around the affairs of GM, Changan Ford and Nanshan Automobile Group, Cao Yang received an unexpected contact.

Personnel from Lingnan Province and personnel from relevant departments came to several factories under the Nanshan Group overnight and made comprehensive security inspections and related arrangements.

Then the leaders of the Government Affairs Council came directly to inspect the next day.

This speed completely refreshed Cao Yang's understanding.

It's not like Nanshan Group has never provided this level of reception in the past. It basically started preparing for it relatively early.

The inspection team spent a whole day visiting and communicating with seven or eight factories, including Venus Technology, Nanshan Semiconductor, Nanshan Equipment, Nanshan Chemical, and Nanshan Battery.

This intensity is also unprecedented.

Then that night, this content was broadcast on Xinwen Network.

And it took a full 8 minutes to introduce this investigation, and even the entire news broadcast was delayed to 36 minutes because the broadcast content of this investigation was too long.

During this inspection, when the relevant departments visited Kunpeng heavy transport helicopters, they made it clear that the 100 orders currently signed were not enough.

In the next five years, the number of Kunpeng purchased each year will not be less than 100. Ultimately, this world-leading heavy-duty transport helicopter will make a greater contribution to the development of China.

At the same time, the news also focused on Nanshan Semiconductor's chips and various advanced equipment of Nanshan Equipment, and also specifically called on domestic manufacturers to give priority to the use of Nanshan Semiconductor and Nanshan Equipment products.

Even relevant departments are reviewing and launching some new support policies one after another in order to further promote the rapid development of various enterprises in Nanshan Group.

This kind of support has never happened before, even if it is given to companies such as Aerospace Technology, AVIC, and Spring City Automobile Group.

But it happened to Nanshan Group companies, which is actually a top-level support.

After all, there are some actions that relevant departments are not suitable for taking too directly, as that would not be in the overall interest.

But it may not be possible to have no support at all.

Enterprises in the Nanshan system are completely worthy of support.
