Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 12 God is chasing and feeding me the food

The entire Nanshan Auto Parts Factory is in full swing now.

The orders for Santana and Jetta filled everyone with confidence.

Cao Yang also goes to the production site every day, and then provides training on PRG mold related technologies to the people in the technical department.

At the same time, 5S management and Toyota's lean management methods are also promoted in the factory.

Today, after he finished training everyone, Zhang Fugui immediately blocked him.

"Scowling, what's going on?"

"Director, I have something to report to you. I'm not sure how to handle it."

It's rare that Zhang Fugui didn't have a playful smile today, "It's just that the orders Spring City Stamping sent me in the past two days are a bit strange, and the quantity has increased instantly."

"I feel like they sent it by mistake, but this is a good thing for us. I don't know if we should remind them."

Hearing what Zhang Fugui said, Cao Yang felt a little strange.

The production orders issued by automobile manufacturers to suppliers are all based on plans, and most of the time the plans are set one month in advance.

If there are major changes, the other party should contact you.

"Did you call and ask why?"

"I'm not sure whether I should ask, what if someone made a wrong order? The factory is relatively tight on funds right now. If we produce an extra batch of parts and send them over, we can get an extra amount of money back. Even if it's really a wrong order. , at worst, we’ll just cut some orders later.”

Zhang Fugui explained the reason for his confusion.

"Have they asked you recently to investigate things like nut plate production capacity?"

"There is no special investigation, but Minister Wang from Spring City Stamping once called to ask."

"Call Xu Liang directly to find out. Although we are short of funds, if Spring City Stamping really placed the wrong order, there is no need for us to take advantage."

Cao Yang is not the kind of person with small belly and chicken intestines.

Nanshan Auto Parts Factory aspires to become the largest parts supplier in China and even the world. What does this mean now?

"Okay, then I understand."

After Cao Yang said this, Zhang Fugui felt that he had entered a dead end.

Without any hesitation, he immediately took out his PHS and called Xu Liang.

"Huh? Really?"

After talking for less than 2 minutes, a look of surprise appeared on Zhang Fugui's face.

Soon, his attitude on the phone became better.

After chatting with the other party for about ten minutes, I hung up the phone.

"How about it?"

Cao Yang's curiosity was also aroused by Zhang Fugui's performance just now.

"Director, nut plates are quasi-standard parts for Volkswagen. Nut plates in the same part between different models generally have the same specifications. Even nut plates in different parts are kept to the smallest possible size."

"This time our nut plate was first used on the Jetta, and now they are ready to use it on the Audi A6."

"At the same time, I heard that Chuncheng Stamping at Modu Volkswagen is also promoting a similar proposal to expand the application of nut plates, so I ordered some more parts."

When Zhang Fugui said this, Cao Yang understood.

1999 was a really special year for the Chinese automobile industry.

First, in terms of regulations at the beginning of the year, the "Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Management Rules" were promulgated, and VIN became the unique identification code of the vehicle.This marks that our country has integrated with international standards in terms of motor vehicle management, and the market development is more orderly.

Immediately afterwards, the "Implementation Rules for the Implementation of the "Notice on Prohibiting Illegal Assembling (Assembling) of Cars and Motorcycles"" was issued, which forced those small workshop-style car and motorcycle assembly companies to withdraw from the market, which was conducive to industrial concentration. Increase productivity.

Then there is the crash test that everyone is familiar with in later generations. This year, the first requirement was promulgated: "Design Rules for Occupant Protection in Frontal Collisions."

At the same time, classic models such as Spring City Volkswagen's Audi A6 and Modou Volkswagen's Passat, as well as Modou GM's Buick GL8 and Yangcheng Honda's Accord, also rolled off the assembly line this year.

In the next few years, more international automobile companies will enter China, bringing more opportunities to various parts manufacturers.

"In addition to door hinge reinforcement nut plates, we have also given quotations for other nut plates to the Spring City Stamping Factory. We need to follow up on the progress as soon as possible and strive to implement the designated information."

"Director, if we can produce the nut plates for all models of Modu Volkswagen and Spring City Volkswagen, then we will basically have no excess production capacity."

Zhang Fugui felt that he needed to remind him, lest he get a bunch of orders later and be unable to deliver them, and his reputation would be ruined.

"Didn't you already ask you to discuss the purchase of equipment with various stamping equipment manufacturers? How is the situation?"

Hearing Cao Yang's question, Zhang Fugui couldn't help but look at Zeng Tingting.

"Director, it's like this. During this period, we have completed the re-mortgage of the existing equipment, and the bank should lend money next week. They also sent the quotation for the Schuler press. At the same time, We also inquired about prices from several other press manufacturers.”

Obviously, Zeng Tingting, secretary to the factory director and head of the finance department, was very involved in the purchase of the press.

"When will the equipment arrive soon?"

The next few years will be critical, and Cao Yang naturally does not want to delay development due to equipment problems.

"Schuler's presses are all imported from Germany, and it will take half a year at the fastest."

When Zeng Tingting said this, she felt a little guilty.

After all, she knew that Cao Yang hoped to buy the equipment back this year.

"Half a year? In addition to equipment installation and debugging, won't it be officially put into production in the second half of next year?"

Cao Yang frowned, obviously dissatisfied with the progress.

As for how to promote nut plates, he still has a lot of tricks that he hasn't used yet.

If the equipment is not even in place, it will be a bit passive when communicating with other OEMs.

"Director, the arrival time of Schuler's stamping press is actually relatively normal. They did not delay it intentionally."

Zhang Fugui also knew the situation of the press relatively well and said a word to Zeng Tingting from the side.

"Half a year is too long. Let's see if other press manufacturers can make it earlier? If the price difference is not very big, we will buy the one whose delivery time is faster. And you tell the other party that we are here After the one-time purchase, we will definitely continue to purchase equipment and expand production next year.”

The factory is his own, so as long as Cao Yang thinks there is no problem with bidding, price comparison, etc.

At this point, private enterprises are obviously much more flexible.
