Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 120 The first benchmark factory was put into operation

In May 2001, Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd.'s turnover exceeded 5 million.

There is a lively atmosphere throughout the company.

When Cao Yang returned to the company to work again, he could clearly feel that the company was changing every day.

"Mr. Cao, you came back just in time. The day after tomorrow is the official opening ceremony of the new Huaqiang factory. Guo Shuyin has been here a few times and wanted to invite you to attend."

Zhang Fugui came to Cao Yang's office immediately.

During this time, he was also very busy.

Nanshan Industrial Park has completed three connections and one leveling work, and has begun civil construction.

Relevant equipment that should be ordered has been ordered, and preparations for self-production are also being studied.

Seeing that part of the factory would be put into production in the first half of next year, he began to worry about orders for the new factory.

After all, no matter how big a factory is built, it cannot survive without the support of orders.

Cao Yang's visit to Ford Motor and General Motors this time must have something to do with the new orders.

Of course, Zhang Fugui would not ask if there were any new orders as soon as he came up.

That makes him, the head of the sales department, too incompetent.

It is up to the general manager to secure any order for you.

Then what else are you doing?

“Didn’t Huaqiang Factory’s new factory start production a few months ago?”

"Why are you still holding a commissioning ceremony now?"

Although Nanshan only holds 30% of the shares of Yangcheng Huaqiang Stamping Factory, Cao Yang is still paying close attention to their development as part of the future car manufacturing layout.

“华强厂一口气投了150吨、300吨、600吨的PRG压机，还上了1000吨和2000吨的TRF压机。”

"Of course it is impossible for all of these to be installed and debugged at the same time."

"Previously, all PRG presses were put into production. Recently, 1000-ton and 2000-ton TRF presses have also been successfully put into production."

"Because TRF presses of this tonnage are still very rare in China, Huaqiang Factory also wants to let more people know their strength through this commissioning ceremony."

"Of course, the district also hopes that they will hold such a commissioning ceremony, so..."

When Zhang Fugui said this, Cao Yang understood.

Just do it.

We just take this opportunity to promote Nanshan’s press technology.

It also let Pan Jinxing, the newly arrived deputy general manager and director of the equipment center, know that Nanshan is not without any technical accumulation.

"Just tell Lao Guo that I will attend the commissioning ceremony on time."

"When the time comes, remember to continue to invite colleagues from Spring City Stamping and Xifeng Stamping to let them feel the pressure."

……

Yangcheng Honda is now the largest customer of Huaqiang Stamping Plant.

Since none of the stamping factories associated with Honda have had time to set up factories in China, Huaqiang Stamping Factory got a big advantage.

More than [-]% of the body parts orders for the new Accord were given to the Huaqiang Factory.

Its rapid development has even affected the speed of investment by Honda-related manufacturers in China.

Until now, only Yangcheng Aiji and Yangcheng Aipak, which are responsible for the production of front and rear longitudinal beams, A-pillars/B-pillars and other parts, and Huaqiang Factory are divided into three parts.

The two Honda-affiliated companies, Aiji and Apex, have only confirmed that they will build factories, and the actual production will not start until next year.

This resulted in localization orders for mass-produced Accord models, and they could not get any of them.

"Li Bu, this is our newly imported TRF equipment. Except for one component on the cowl fender, which cannot be produced, we have the production capacity for other car body skeleton parts."

Speeches from all parties, thanking, reviewing, looking forward to...

The process of the commissioning ceremony is almost the same.

But when it came time to visit the factory, Guo Shuyin personally explained to Yangcheng Honda, a major customer.

The leaders are busy with business and have already left the scene.

As for the friends and businessmen who came to join in the fun, people from the Equipment Center of Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. were responsible for introducing them.

"Xiao Lu, Fuqiang Factory has introduced such advanced equipment and has the production capacity of various parts. We can give them more opportunities in the future."

As the deputy director of the Purchasing Department of Yangcheng Honda, Li Huarong can be regarded as the top leader of Huaxia in the field of purchasing.

He feels the greatest pressure to increase the localization rate.

Of course, these are all obvious reasons.

In fact, only he knows whether it is because Guo Shuyin has a good relationship with his boss.

"Minister, the main reason is that Huaqiang Factory does not have much production performance in large automobile skeleton parts. Japanese people are relatively rigid. Without performance, core parts such as front and rear longitudinal beams, front and rear wheel covers, etc. are not dared to be made for them."

"After this batch of parts has been mass-produced for a few months, we can make a large number of proposals for the next model to Huaqiang Factory."

As the head of the stamping department, Lu Xiangyang followed Li Huarong very low-key today.

"The cost of Aiji and Apak should be much higher than that of Huaqiang Factory, right?"

"If we don't give Huaqiang Factory a chance, where will the production performance be?"

“Isn’t this a deadlock of which came first, the chicken or the egg?”

Li Huarong asked back, Guo Shuyin was happy, but Lu Xiangyang was under great pressure.

"Li Bu, this is also because our Huaqiang factory started late. Previously, we mainly made stamping parts in the field of home appliances. We have relatively little experience in the automotive industry, so your Japanese personnel have little confidence in us."

"But today's Huaqiang factory is different from before. All the new presses we introduced are PRG or TRF presses."

"Whether it is in terms of production efficiency or quality assurance, it is very advantageous."

"If Aiji and Apex have insufficient production capacity in the future, we wouldn't mind being their second-tier supplier."

When Guo Shuyin said this, both Li Huarong and Lu Xiangyang's eyes lit up.

second-tier suppliers?

This doesn't seem impossible.

In this way, the Japanese people have nothing to say, and their own task of reducing costs can be better completed.

At the same time, Huaqiang Factory also received more orders.

"This is a good idea. I heard that your molds are produced for you by the Mold Center of Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. Is this mold for sale to the outside world?"

Li Huarong just listened to the investment report on the new Accord tooling (molds, fixtures, inspection tools) a few days ago and is very dissatisfied with the current cost of tooling.

The most important thing is that the molds of Aiji and Apak are almost all imported from Japan.

Although a set of molds can easily cost more than 100 million.

This price is really exaggerated.

Comparing the quotation from Huaqiang Factory, the cost of the same type of mold is more than half.

Publicly and privately, Li Huarong hopes that all molds can be purchased domestically.

"Bu Li, Mr. Cao from Nanshan is here today. We can ask him directly."

As Guo Shuyin said this, he quickly walked back a few steps and invited Cao Yang over.
