Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 10: Hitting the idea of ​​Yangcheng Honda

Cao Yang is a person with strong action ability.

The various ministers below naturally followed the boss's style.

After sending away the people from the Demon City Volkswagen inspection team, Cao Yang took several nut plate samples and called Zeng Tingting and Zhang Fugui to go to Yangcheng Honda with him the next day.

The development path of Yangcheng's automobile industry is relatively bumpy. The once prosperous Yangcheng Peugeot has quickly become a negative example 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 Magic City. What does Yangcheng count?

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

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

"Ayang, my brother-in-law bought a 19.5-unit Santana in order to become a supplier to Volkswagen in the city."

"Now you wouldn't buy another Accord worth 29.5 just to get into Yangcheng Honda, right?"

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.

I really don’t have the money to spend more than 30 yuan to buy a car.

"Buy whatever you want, let alone one for 29.5 yuan. Even with a [-]% discount, I can't afford it now."

In Cao Yang's view, car prices in this era are really unfriendly.

Like the 29.5 Accord, what is the concept?

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

If you hold a position like a restaurant waiter, you will only earn about 300 yuan a month.

29.5, even urban workers would have to work without food or water for 50 years to afford it.

At this price, you can buy a large house in the core area of ​​Yangcheng in this era.

But that's it. If you want to buy an Accord, you may not be able to buy it. You have to find connections and even increase the price.

It seems that in later generations, you can buy the Beggar's Edition at half the price, not to mention the factor of currency depreciation.

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

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

Nanshan Auto Parts Factory had wanted to enter Yangcheng Peugeot before, and had already connected with its procurement.

However, the project has not yet been implemented, and Yangcheng Peugeot has gone cold.

Fortunately, today's Yangcheng Honda has many Chinese employees who stayed from the original Yangcheng Peugeot, and they can still continue to work smoothly.

Otherwise, I won’t be able to get in to the factory today.

"Uncle, the quality of this Santana is much worse than the one sold in the factory. Isn't it a third-hand or fourth-hand one?"

"Then what does it matter? The Santana is very solid, and there will be no problem in 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 faces of Yangcheng Honda employees seemed to be filled with smiles.

Cao Yang was most impressed by this.

"Lu Xi, long time no see. You seem to have gained some weight."

After waiting for half an hour in a conference room, Zhang Fugui, Cao Yang and Zeng Tingting successfully met Lu Xiangyang, head of the stamping department of the Yangcheng Honda Purchasing Department.

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

Saying someone is fat is definitely not a rude greeting.

"Really? Haha, I also feel like I've gained a few pounds this year."

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

"The food in the cafeteria is indeed pretty good. I'll take you to try it at noon."

……

Zhang Fugui and Lu Xiangyang have known each other for several years, and their meeting was quite pleasant.

Although Cao Yang is the director of the factory, it is his first time to meet her, so he didn't talk much today.

After chatting 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. It is already being mass-produced and supplied to Modu Volkswagen and Spring City Volkswagen."

"This nut plate may seem very simple, but Volkswagen has really not found a domestic manufacturer with better QCD than us. Their experts were full of praise when they came to audit the factory yesterday."

"Today's Accords are all 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?"

As Zhang Fugui said this, he took out two nut plate samples and placed them on the table.

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

"Where is this thing used? I don't think I have any impression."

"Lv Xi, this is the door hinge reinforcement nut plate of Santana and Jetta. It is welded to the place where the door hinge is installed."

"I understand." Lu Xiangyang put down the sample in his hand and said, "But the door hinge reinforcement plate on our Accord is not the nut plate you mentioned, but a nut welded to a stamped part. It should be simpler to produce. ."

"It's exactly like what you said. If you stamp first and then weld, the process difficulty will be much lower."

Zhang Fugui was not in a hurry to object to Lu Xiangyang's words, but then he added: "But the reinforced plate made with this technology has relatively high requirements for the welding strength of the nut, and it is easy to have weak or missing welds."

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

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

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

Zhang Fugui said it very sincerely.

Although he is considered a relative in the factory, he still works very hard.

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

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

Just 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 reductions.

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.
