Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

Cao Yang is a person with strong action ability.

The ministers below naturally followed the style of the boss.

After sending away the members of the public inspection team in Shanghai, Cao Yang brought several samples of nut plates and called Zeng Tingting and Zhang Fugui to Yangcheng Honda the next day.

The development of the automobile industry in Yangcheng is relatively bumpy. The Peugeot of Yangcheng, which was once glorious, soon became a negative teaching material for the automobile industry.

Many people are questioning whether it is necessary for Yangcheng to continue to engage in the automobile industry?

After all, there are already several large automobile industry bases in China, such as Spring City and Modu, so what is Yangcheng?

After several twists and turns, Peugeot was finally transferred to Yangcheng Honda at a price of 1 yuan, which reopened the development of Yangcheng's automobile industry.

The Yangcheng Honda, which was remodeled on the basis of the Yangcheng Peugeot Automobile Factory, has quickly become the darling of the market with the success of the 98 Accord, and has already achieved profitability this year.

"Ayang, my brother-in-law bought a 195,000 Santana in order to become a supplier of the public in Shanghai."

"Now you won't buy another 295,000 Accord just to get into Yangcheng Honda?"

On the way to Yangcheng Honda, Zhang Fugui joked a little worriedly.

Although the current situation of Nanshan Auto Parts Factory is not bad, it has a lot of loans on it.

I really don't have the money to spend more than 300,000 yuan to buy a car.

"What to buy, let alone 295,000 units, even with a 50% discount, I can't afford it now."

In Cao Yang's view, the price of cars in this era is really unfriendly.

Like the 295,000 Accord, what is the concept?

In 1999, the average salary of urban workers was about 500 yuan a month, which is still urban workers.

If you are a restaurant waiter or something, you can only make about 300 yuan a month.

295,000, even urban workers have to work without food or drink for 50 years before they can afford it.

At this price, even in this era, it can be exchanged for a big house in the core area of ​​Yangcheng.

But that's it. If you want to buy an Accord, you may not be able to buy it. You need to find a relationship, or even increase the price.

It doesn't look like later generations, the beggar's version can be bought by cutting the price in half, not to mention that there is also a factor of currency depreciation in it.

"We are already supplying Santana and Jetta, and the situation in the factory should gradually improve."

As Zhang Fugui said, he parked the car, got out of the car and went to the guard's office to register.

Nanshan Auto Parts Factory wanted to enter Yangcheng Peugeot before, and the procurement with them has already been connected.

However, the project has not yet landed, and Peugeot Yangcheng is cold.

Fortunately, in today's Yangcheng Honda, many of the Chinese employees are left behind from the original Yangcheng Peugeot, and they can continue to get on the line smoothly.

Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to enter the factory today.

"Uncle, the quality of this Santana is much worse than the one sold in the factory. Could it be third-hand or fourth-hand?"

"What does that matter? Santana's skin is very solid, and there will be no problem driving it for a few more years."

Cao Yang and the others completed the registration while chatting, and then entered the Yangcheng Honda factory under the guidance of security guards.

It has to be said that after being reborn, the employees of Yangcheng Honda seem to have smiles on their faces.

Cao Yang was most impressed by this.

"Lu Xi, long time no see, you seem to have put on a little weight."

After waiting in a meeting room for half an hour, Zhang Fugui took Cao Yang and Zeng Tingting to meet Lu Xiangyang, the head of the Stamping Department of the Yangcheng Honda Purchasing Department.

These days, there are not too many fat people in China.

To say that someone is fat is definitely not an impolite greeting.

"Have you? Haha, I also feel like I gained a few pounds this year."

"It seems that the food in your company's cafeteria is very good."

"The food in the cafeteria is really good. I'll take you to have a taste at noon."

...

Zhang Fugui and Lu Xiangyang have known each other for several years, and the meeting between the two parties was quite pleasant.

Although Cao Yang is the director of the factory, it was his first time meeting him, so he didn't say much today.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Zhang Fugui took the initiative to change the topic to Nanshan Auto Parts Factory.

"Lu Xi, this is our latest nut plate, and it is already being mass-produced and supplied to Modu Volkswagen and Spring City Volkswagen."

"Don't look at this nut plate as if it is very simple, but Volkswagen has not found a manufacturer with better QCD than ours in China, and their experts were full of praise when they came to do the factory audit yesterday."

"Today's Accord is assembled in the form of CKD. I heard that your company is also preparing to increase the localization rate. I wonder if you can give our Nanshan Auto Parts Factory a chance?"

While talking, Zhang Fugui took out two nut plate samples and put them on the table.

Lu Xiangyang did not directly refuse, but picked up the sample seriously and looked at it.

"Where is this thing used? I really don't have the impression."

"Lu Xi, this is the door hinge reinforcement nut plate for Santana and Jetta, which is welded at the place where the door hinge is installed."

"I see." Lu Xiangyang put down the sample in his hand and said, "However, the door hinge reinforcement plate on our Accord is not the nut plate you mentioned, but a stamped part with nuts welded on it, which should be easier to produce .”

"It is indeed like what you said, stamping first, then welding, the process difficulty will be much lower."

Zhang Fugui was not in a hurry to object to Lu Xiangyang's words, but then he said: "However, the reinforcing plate of this process has relatively high requirements on the welding strength of the nuts, and it is easy to have false or missing welds."

"And our nut plate is a whole part. After stamping the steel plate into the required shape, the thread is directly tapped on the boss. All the processes are completed in a set of molds, so there is no need to worry about missing processes or processes. Bad question."

"Is it possible for us to make a VAVE proposal to change the hinge reinforcement plate being imported into a nut plate?"

"Although I'm not sure how much the hinge reinforcement plate imported by your company costs, but I believe that the domestically produced nut plate must have a cost advantage."

What Zhang Fugui said was very sincere.

Although he is considered a relational householder in the factory, he also works very hard.

After all, it is related to whether he can continue to be a related household.

Yangcheng Honda is a group of dark horses among Chinese car companies this year. It is of great significance to Nanshan Auto Parts Factory to enter the supply system of Yangcheng Honda.

It's like many suppliers in later generations are even willing to do business at a loss in order to enter Tesla's supply chain.

It's no wonder that Tesla's cars always have room for price cuts.

In addition to Tesla's own efforts and brand power, the contribution of suppliers is also very important.

It can be said that this is another win-win situation.
