Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

The people of the magic city.

On his first day back to work during the Spring Festival, Bu Defan received a strange call.

SKF's sales director, Holme, took the initiative to talk to himself about the after-sales parts of the wheel bearings, expressing that SKF will no longer sell after-sales parts to the market by itself in the future.

Bu Defan naturally welcomed this decision.

After all, no OEM wants to see suppliers selling aftermarket parts themselves.

This is equivalent to grabbing cakes from the after-sales service department of the OEM.

However, although this matter was a good one, Bu Defan was keenly aware of the strangeness in it.

"Li, years ago we entrusted the quality management department to test and compare the original SKF bearings on Santana with the wheel bearings from Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. bought from a car repair shop. Have the results come out now?"

Just when Li Jianfeng was about to report to Bu Defan, he was called over.

"The results of some durability tests may take time, but the basic parameters related to dimensional accuracy should have come out."

"I called to ask as soon as I got to work, and I was about to report to you."

Li Jianfeng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Bu Defan asked himself about the wheel bearings.

Fortunately, I am prepared.

"What is the current confirmation result?"

"Is there something wrong with Nanshan's bearing?"

"I remember those car repair shops promised a lifetime warranty?"

Vaguely, Bu Defan felt that he was about to guess why Golmer called him.

"The current report does not show any problems, we have to wait for the results of the durability test to come out."

"As for the lifetime warranty thing, I feel like it's more of a gimmick."

Bu Defan was not very satisfied with Li Jianfeng's answer.

"No problem, maybe the biggest problem."

"Wheel hub bearings have very high requirements for dimensional accuracy, especially in terms of surface roughness and precision of related components."

"Now Nanshan has actually done it."

"I'm really looking forward to the final test results."

When Bu Defan said this, Li Jianfeng also thought of the call he received this morning.

What Xue Wenqiang said inside and out was to let the people of Shanghai City stop entangled in this matter.

SKF will not bother with this matter anymore.

As for the decline in after-sales orders, it can be realized by strengthening the management of 4S stores and other methods.

This transformation seems a bit strange.

"Bu Defan, the samples from Nanshan were brought back from the car repair shop with people from SKF."

"They should take this matter more seriously than we do."

"I have a hunch that they may be working overtime during the Spring Festival to test."

"Maybe they already have the final test report in their hands."

When Li Jianfeng said this, Bu Defan immediately felt that it made sense.

Thinking about Holm's attitude again...

"Li, you mean that the test result is likely that Nanshan's wheel bearings are not worse than SKF's?"

"That's why SKF wanted to make this matter a big deal and a small one?"

Bu Defan is also a smart person, and he is not so easy to be fooled by others.

Feeling that the people from SKF on the phone seemed to deliberately hide the news from him and lead him to make a wrong decision, Bu Defan's face was a little ugly.

"Only this situation can perfectly explain SKF's reaction."

Li Jianfeng felt that what Bu Defan said was very reasonable.

In this way, the logic is completely smooth.

"In this way, you call the people in Nanshan and ask them to come over immediately with the test report."

"Then you go to the people in the quality management department and ask them to find the test report submitted by SKF before. Let's compare it and see what's going on."

Although Shanghai Volkswagen has not yet completed the comparative test of wheel bearings, there is still ready-made information that can be used if it is handled flexibly.

As for Zhang Fugui, who was far away in Yangcheng, when he heard that at the beginning of the new year, people from the Shanghai Metropolis were going to bring their test reports to explain the matter of the wheel bearings, and immediately felt that his chance had come.

"Mr. Cao, I think it should be possible for Shanghai Volkswagen to use our wheel bearings."

"They are the most motivated to increase the localization rate."

"Especially after the establishment of the Santana community, the improvement of the localization rate of Santana models has become a topic of great concern."

"Not only the Modu Automobile Group is concerned about this issue, but even the leaders of the Imperial Capital also ask questions from time to time."

"I've heard Li Jianfeng talk about this before."

OEMs have to explain the information face to face, and suppliers naturally have to fully cooperate.

In the evening of the same day, Zhang Fugui and Cao Yang arrived in Shanghai by plane.

Then I called early the next morning and went straight to the people of Shanghai.

"It seems that this time we have tossed a lot in the aftermarket, but it still has some effect."

"But why is it that only the people of the Demon City react?"

Cao Yang's appetite is a bit big, and he wants to win orders from several major OEMs.

Even if it is not 100% won, at least it is necessary to start supporting supplies.

In this way, the international market can be expanded forward in the future.

After all, Nanshan is already experienced in this area.

"The atmosphere of the market economy here in Shanghai is heavier. The employees of Shanghai Shanghai should have higher work attitudes and enthusiasm than those in Spring City."

"So I don't think it's surprising that the people of Magic City reacted earlier than the people of Spring City."

"As for Modu GM and Shenlong Automobile, I think they will react sooner or later."

Zhang Fugui gave the reason for his guess.

However, at this moment, Cao Yang once again had a bold idea in his heart.

If today's trip to Shanghai goes well, this bold idea can be considered and implemented immediately.

"Today, let's go and listen to what the people in Shanghai have to say, and let's think about our next actions."

There are not many traffic jams these days, the two of them were talking, and they soon arrived at the public in Shanghai.

After quickly completing the admission procedures, Cao Yang and Zhang Fugui came to the conference room outside the purchasing department.

However, what surprised Cao Yang was that this time Li Jianfeng actually prepared coffee for himself.

I have been here a few times before, let alone coffee, I have never even had a glass of boiled water.

I don't know if it's because Bu Defan attended with him today, or if the other party has something to ask of me today.

In short, today's situation is a bit interesting.

"Minister Zhang, have you brought all the test reports of the Santana wheel bearings that you sold to the car repair shop?"

After exchanging simple greetings for a while, Li Jianfeng directly cut to the topic.
