Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 11 was poured cold water on (please follow up)

"Minister Zhang, your proposal is very good, but our current localization is based on the fact that the drawings remain unchanged."

"If you really want to participate in the project to increase the localization rate of Accord, then there is definitely no hope of just making nut plates."

"According to my understanding, European and American models such as Volkswagen and General Motors prefer to use nut plates. Among Japanese car companies, I have not heard of any models that use nut plates."

Lu Xiangyang's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Zhang Fugui's head.

I came here with high expectations, but I got such a result.

Honda's cars don't use nut plates, so how can the advantages of Nanshan Parts Factory be reflected?

My nephew is also planning to buy a few more stamping machines to increase the production capacity of nut plates.

Now it seems that Yangcheng Honda is out of business.

Although the North and South Volkswagen can live a good life as a child, Nanshan Parts Factory's ambitions definitely don't stop there.

On the way back from Yangcheng Honda, Zhang Fugui felt a little depressed.

However, Cao Yang's mood was not affected too much.

How could it be so easy to enter an OEM?

That is to say, China now has strict requirements on the localization rate of automobiles. In order to meet the national inspection and approval of the 40% localization rate at the end of this year, Accord is making every effort to develop localization.

You know, in this era, if the cars produced by joint ventures are to be sold in the Chinese market, they must reach a localization rate of more than 40% in order to enjoy the treatment of domestically produced cars. Otherwise, tariffs will be levied on imported cars!

What is the auto tariff in 1999?

Everyone can hardly imagine that the tariff rate for imported cars with a displacement of less than 3.0 liters is actually 80%, while that for cars with a displacement of 3.0 liters and above is 100%.

Therefore, whether it is Modu Volkswagen or Yangcheng Honda, various joint ventures are now very active in localization projects.

This period can be regarded as a very good starting stage for domestic parts companies.

Otherwise, if Nanshan Auto Parts Factory comes to visit, he probably won't even be able to see Lu Xiangyang.

"Uncle, don't worry so much. Japanese cars don't use nut plates, so no matter how hard we try, it's useless. But the nut plate road won't work, so we can take other ways."

Cao Yang's optimistic look infected Zhang Fugui and Zeng Tingting.

"There are many. We will make whatever customers need. Yangcheng Honda does not use nut plates, so we do not need to persuade them to change."

"The technology is in the hands of the Japanese. How could they change the drawings because of a factory like ours?"

"Besides, the difficulty of reinforcing the plate is not very high. There are still many domestic companies that can do it."

"At least they are willing to contact us now. How about we make their reinforced boards?"

“We can make more complex nut plates anyway, so there’s no reason why we can’t make Honda’s reinforced plates.”

Zeng Tingting's idea made Zhang Fugui's eyes light up.

Yes.

The nut plate used by Volkswagen is not used by Yangcheng Honda, so Nanshan Auto Parts Factory can produce it for other people's use.

"Ayang, I think Secretary Zeng's suggestion is good. How about we work on that reinforcement board?"

However, Cao Yang didn't think this matter was that simple.

Now I have only exchanged the nut plate technology from the system, but I don't know anything else.

Although by analogy, the technology of stamping parts should not be a big problem.

But when it comes to welding, I have no experience at all.

"Although we have made some very simple nuts and stamping parts before, the requirements for nuts used in automobiles are definitely higher, and the technical requirements for welding are also much more demanding."

"We may not be able to do this reinforced plate well."

Many technologies that have become popular in later generations are difficult for people of this era.

For example, automobile stamping parts and injection molded parts will definitely be popular in future generations. Any auto parts manufacturer can make them if they want to.

This is also the first component that various joint ventures start working on in their localization projects.

But now China is very lacking in experience, whether it is mold technology for automobile parts or parameter settings for various processing techniques.

"I heard that when Volkswagen was promoting the localization of parts, many manufacturers were unable to produce all the components of an assembly."

"In this case, Volkswagen will buy some of its components and provide them to suppliers, assemble them into assemblies and then install them on the car. I think Yangcheng Honda should be the same."

"For things like nuts, if what we produce ourselves cannot meet the requirements, we can consider asking the other party to provide them to us."

"As for setting the welding parameters, it's not that difficult. It just requires a few more adjustments."

As the head of the purchasing and sales department, Zhang Fugui is very active in taking orders.

Moreover, he has accumulated a certain amount of experience over the past many years and knows how to deal with the requirements of automobile manufacturers.

"Director, I think the solution mentioned by Director Zhang seems feasible. Although the profit of this part is not very high, if we use the PRG process to produce this reinforced plate, the cost will definitely be higher than other manufacturers' TDM process. Even lower, there is still a certain profit margin.”

Zeng Tingting also added next to it.

They are all worried about the lack of orders from the factory some time ago, and they want to get as many orders as possible.

That's like Cao Yang. As long as the project is not very good, he doesn't want to take it.

With the confidence given to him by the system and the perspective of future generations, Cao Yang's mentality is completely different from others.

"If you think you can do it, then do it. Regardless of whether this part makes money or not, being able to enter Yangcheng Honda's supply system will also be beneficial to our future parts promotion."

After feeling the strong wishes of Zhang Fugui and Zeng Tingting, Cao Yang also figured it out.

During this period, the technical staff of various OEMs still provided relatively large support to localized manufacturers.

Sometimes people are even willing to guide you step by step to improve the process and set some parameters.

There is no need to be so entangled.

"Director Yingming, our Nanshan Auto Parts Factory will soon have more customers. In the future, Minister Zhang will have more confidence when he goes to other OEMs."

Zeng Tingting promptly flattered him.

"I will contact Department Director Lu later and ask them to send us the inquiry first."

"The structure of this part is not complicated. If it goes quickly, we can start providing prototypes to Yangcheng Honda in two months!"

And Zhang Fugui was also in a good mood.

Today's trip was not in vain.
