Chapter 135 Don’t let a speck of mouse droppings spoil the whole pot of porridge

Cao Yang led Nanshan forward quickly.

Other competitors are not idle either.

Before June 2001 passed, Cao Yang heard bad news.

"Mr. Cao, I heard that people from Huitian are looking for Guangduan to discuss building a joint venture."

"They want to use Guangdong's existing workshops and equipment, make appropriate modifications, and then produce Aida presses."

"If this news is finally implemented, domestic Aida presses will appear on the market as soon as the end of this year."

"Although some components will definitely be imported from Japan at the beginning, the overall cost will be higher than ours."

"But if people lower their profits, it will still put a lot of pressure on us."

“Even if their prices are ultimately [-] to [-]% higher than ours, many stamping plants will still choose Aida’s equipment.”

"Especially for Japanese companies, it will be difficult for us to get orders."

Zhang Fugui reported the news to Cao Yang worriedly.

Regardless of the fact that Nanshan Equipment Center has been very busy during this period, some positions have begun to work in three shifts.

But after completing the orders for Aiji, Weifu and Apak in the first half of next year, it's hard to say whether it will still be as busy.

Even manufacturers such as Xifeng Mold Punching, which are actively in contact with Nanshan now, will change their attitudes by then.

After all, everyone still has more confidence in the presses produced by national giants.

Even if the Nanshan press is no worse than Aida in terms of parameters, it may not be able to get the order in the end.

"They move pretty fast."

"It seems that the loss of orders this time has a great impact on Aida."

Cao Yang felt a little surprised by the news reported by Zhang Fugui, but also felt it was a little natural.

He had a private cooperation with Honda Motor, and Aida probably really thought that he lost the order because of the high cost of importing and the long delivery cycle.

Now that we have learned from the painful experience, it is inevitable to set up a factory in China.

If we want to build the factory as quickly as possible, finding a joint venture with a Chinese equipment factory is naturally the best choice.

As for whether part of the profits will be distributed to the joint venture partners, Aida is not worried at all.

They have the means to transfer most of the profits back home.

It would be considered good to have a mouthful of soup left to share with the joint venture partners.

"Yes, and they chose to set up a factory in the Pearl River Delta. They obviously regard us as their main competitor."

"When the time comes, with a state-owned enterprise like Guangdong Diesel helping to attract orders, they will not only be able to keep the traditional orders from Japanese companies, but they may also be able to make breakthroughs in state-owned enterprises."

"Should we find a way to ruin their good deeds?"

When doing business, naturally all means need to be considered.

Cao Yang didn't mind this either.

But regarding the construction of the factory in Aida, he felt that Nanshan could not harm other people's affairs.

“Inviting investment is now a top priority everywhere.”

“An international equipment giant like Aida is still very popular with everyone.”

"Even if we persuade the Yangcheng people to give up cooperation with Huitian, they will settle in other cities in the Pearl River Delta."

"No matter how bad things get, people can go to the Yangtze River Delta. Will we still be able to influence them then?"

Although Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. has developed rapidly in the past two years, it already has some influence in the local area.

But that's it.

Cao Yang had a very clear understanding of this.

"That's true."

"But if this happens, won't our future situation be very passive?"

The fiercer the competition, the greater the pressure on Zhang Fugui, the head of the sales department.

When the Nanshan Industrial Park is put into operation, the production capacity of the equipment will continue to increase. If it cannot be sold, it will be a big problem.

"Even if Aida sets up a factory in the country, it will not introduce the most advanced presses."

"There is a high probability that the first step will be to get some TDM presses, or some small-tonnage PRG presses."

"The impact on us will be very limited in the short term."

"On the contrary, it's Ji'er Machine Tool Factory. I heard that they sent people one after another to contact the personnel of the equipment center, trying to poach them."

"It is possible that they will be our biggest competitor in terms of large-tonnage TDM presses."

Cao Yang is very active in fighting international giants.

But if domestic companies want to compete, he will not be merciful.

"Ji Er wants to poach our technicians?"

When Zhang Fugui heard this, he immediately became angry.

These people want to dig up the foundation of Nanshan.

"Yes, didn't we recruit a group of people from various machine tool factories some time ago?"

"There are also some people from Ji Er."

"It is estimated that they obtained the contact information of some key employees of the equipment center through these people."

"I have been promising benefits these past few days and want to poach people."

When Cao Yang said this, Zhang Fugui immediately said: "Mr. Cao, we have signed non-compete agreements and confidentiality agreements with most of our employees."

"And our wages are still quite competitive. If Ji Er wants to recruit people, it might not be that easy, right?"

Nanshan attaches great importance to technology research and development and has a lot of secret technologies in its hands.

In order to prevent technology leakage, the company has naturally taken many measures internally.

"You are right, but we are a private enterprise."

"Many people still feel that working in private enterprises is unreliable."

"When I had no choice, I naturally held my nose and admitted it."

"If there were a state-owned enterprise with better remuneration, few people would be willing to go to a private enterprise."

Cao Yang does not expect that simply signing some agreements will completely prevent employees from changing jobs.

As long as you are really talented, people will have all kinds of means to avoid this aspect for you.

"These domestic companies love price wars the most."

"If they can make a large-tonnage press, the price will immediately become a bargain."

"At that time, we will have no choice but to lower the price, otherwise no one will buy our equipment."

"Even if they only reduce prices on TDM presses, it will indirectly affect our selling prices on PRG presses and TRF presses."

Zhang Fugui is quite impressed with the work style of various domestic companies.

As long as Chinese companies cannot produce equipment, they will have to pay a high price to buy it.

But once Chinese companies can produce it, the price of this equipment will become cabbage price in a short period of time.

At that time, let alone leaving enough funds to engage in new technology research and development, even if you want not to lose money, it will be very stressful.

"Lao Pan should know Ji Er's people. Find a time for him to make an appointment with Ji Er's people."

"Let's discuss how to deal with the current situation."

"If they are willing to cooperate well, then everyone will be friends and deal with Shuler and Aida together."

"If they feel that their wings have become stiff and want to challenge us, then let's clean it up together!"

"We will have to build a lot of equipment in the future, and we must not let a speck of mouse droppings spoil the whole pot of porridge!"
