Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

These days, there is no Alipay or WeChat payment. Xue Wenqiang almost emptied his wallet to collect 1,000 yuan in cash.

That is to say, his salary at SKF is high enough, otherwise, who would put so much cash in his wallet?

Carrying four wheel bearings, Xue Wenqiang left the car repair shop with a heavy heart.

Then they ran several larger car repair shops.

Except for one or two that did not find anything, as long as the other car repair shops issued a lifetime warranty, all of them did not use SKF wheel bearings.

"Li Gong, the situation is basically clear now."

"A new manufacturer popped up out of nowhere in the market, copied our specifications and made sub-factory parts."

"Their price must be much lower than ours, that's why these car repair shops have chosen to cooperate with them so happily."

Although the misunderstanding with Li Jianfeng was completely resolved, Xue Wenqiang's mood did not improve at all.

The current situation is worse than I imagined.

"Let's take two wheel bearings back first, and let the company's quality and technical personnel confirm the situation of the wheel bearings."

"At the same time, we have to find out who made this hub bearing as soon as possible."

Li Jianfeng was also in a bad mood.

He was thinking about how he should report to Bu Defan.

Please, this sounds a bit weird.

The decline in sales of original parts was actually due to the purchase of a large number of sub-factory parts by car repair shops from outside.

This incident was relatively rare in 2000.

After all, the strength of domestic auto parts suppliers is not very good.

If placed in 2010, this situation is very common.

"I'll call a few dealers and familiar car repair shops when I get to the company, and I should be able to figure it out soon."

"Domestic manufacturers of bearing parts and components are nothing more than Wanxiang, Renben and Xifeng Bearing who do a little better. In all likelihood, one of them is playing tricks."

Xue Wenqiang can stay at SKF, and his own ability level is quite high.

I am very familiar with the situation in the bearing industry.

Around 2000, it was the most popular time for foreign companies.

When everyone generally gets a monthly salary of a thousand yuan, they can get a monthly salary of seven to eight thousand or even ten to twenty thousand.

The treatment gap is far worse than that of later generations.

"It should not be Xifeng Bearing. If they can really make qualified hub bearings, then companies like Shenlong Automobile have already used their products."

"I think there is a high probability that it is Wanxiang or Renben, and Wanxiang is more likely."

When Li Jianfeng said this, Xue Wenqiang couldn't help but asked back, "If Wanxiang does it, how do you explain the 'NS' mark on the parts? It's not Wanxiang's mark."

"Let's investigate the specific situation." Li Jianfeng didn't know how to answer Xue Wenqiang's question, "If there is any situation, we will share it in time."

...

After Li Jianfeng returned to the company, he immediately reported to Bu Defan.

The other party also attached great importance to it, and immediately contacted Dr. Hassan, the manager of the quality management department, and asked him to arrange personnel to confirm the specifications and sizes of these bearings.

And immediately freed up experimental resources, ready to conduct some comparative tests.

At the same time, after Xue Wenqiang returned to the company, he made a few phone calls and quickly figured out the general situation.

"Xue, do you mean that this hub bearing is made by a Chinese supplier called Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd?"

"They sell the wheel bearings to the car repair shop at a price of 50 yuan each, and then provide a lifetime warranty?"

Golmer frowned and looked at Xue Wenqiang.

In his opinion, the results of this investigation are really incredible.

How is this possible?

50 yuan each?

Also Lifetime Warranty!

SKF's wheel bearings are shipped from Sweden, even if the intermediate transportation fees, customs duties, customs clearance, management fees, etc. are not calculated, it is impossible to achieve 50 yuan each.

Even in Golmer's view, 50 yuan is only enough for materials.

"Golmo, although this situation is a little unbelievable, but the news from several car repair shops is indeed the case."

"Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. even signed warranty contracts with some car repair shops."

"If we want to see it, we can go directly to one of the car repair shops to confirm the contract on the spot."

Xue Wenqiang gave a very positive reply.

"In China, when did there exist a bearing supplier called Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd."

Holmo thought about it, but he didn't think of any information related to Nanshan.

Although Nanshan already has a certain reputation in nut plates and wheel bolts and presses.

But interlaced like mountains, hub bearings, nut plates, and wheel bolts are not a type of part at all.

Holmes really never cared.

It's like a tire manufacturer. You suddenly ask him who are the domestic suppliers of headlights. How can he be familiar with it?

"I'm going to investigate this again."

"Before I thought it would be Wanxiang or Renben Bearing who did such a thing."

"But the result was completely different from what I expected."

"Since Nanshan has made wheel bearings, I think it also made some other auto parts."

"Later, I will contact Li Jianfeng from the public in Shanghai and share with him the situation we have investigated."

"It's also a good time to ask him if he has heard of Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd., or ask him to ask other colleagues in the purchasing department if they know about it."

Xue Wenqiang knew very well that finding Li Jianfeng at this time was the fastest way to find out what company Nanshan was.

After all, Modu Volkswagen's position in the domestic auto industry is still very good.

But among all the manufacturers of auto parts in China, there is no one who does not want to supply the public in Shanghai.

So Xue Wenqiang felt that Li Jianfeng or his colleagues must have some understanding of Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd.

"Then what are you waiting for?"

"Hurry up and communicate with Li Gong."

Holmes urged a little irritablely.

The current situation is not very good.

The wheel hub bearings made by Nanshan are not only cheap, but also have a lifetime warranty.

This is equivalent to dispelling all the concerns of the car repair shop and most of the concerns of consumers in terms of QC.

After all, consumers themselves do not know the specific conditions of the parts.

Hearing that the wheel bearings in the car repair shop can be guaranteed for life after being replaced, I will definitely think that the quality of the bearings is very good.

This is the most unacceptable thing for SKF.

Will I follow or not in the future?

The opponent pays a small price, but if you want to follow, the price will be countless times that of others.

There is simply no solution!

Engaging in after-sales parts is just a means of taking orders from the curve, and in the end it will definitely end up in the end.
