Chapter 151: Sales growth like a rocket (please vote for me)

Negotiation is a game.

Many times, the process of this kind of game is relatively long.

Of course, it is also possible that the big bosses can do it with just one sentence.

Although Chris is not the CEO of Ford Motor, he has basically obtained the authority to make the final decision on cooperation with Nanshan.

As for Cao Yang, it goes without saying.

He has the final say in Nanshan.

The two of them went back and forth, each stating their own opinions, and they had a certain understanding of each other's bottom line.

"Let's do this, Chris. From now on, all automatic transmissions for Ford's models produced in China will be supplied by Nanshan."

"In addition, as long as Ford's models outside China use 6AT gearboxes, 10% of them will be purchased from Nanshan."

"In addition, Ford produces its own gearboxes, bearings and other components, giving priority to purchasing products from Nanshan."

"As for the price of the gearbox, we will set it at 8500 yuan. What do you think?"

Although the technology of Nanshan 6AT is very advanced, it has not been put into the market and its popularity is zero.

Cao Yang still needs to open a breakthrough from Ford Motor, General Motors, and Volkswagen.

Now it seems that Ford is sincere in cooperating with itself.

Although the conditions are not perfect, they are still within the acceptable range.

Of course, Nanshan also has to bear certain risks.

After all, after Ford masters Nanshan's 6AT technology, it may develop 8AT, 9AT, or even 10AT based on this in the future.

Maybe it will be more difficult for Nanshan to get other orders in the future.

The other party may choose to cooperate with Nanshan because of this consideration.

But Cao Yang was not particularly worried.

Nanshan has a powerful 6AT, but can’t it have a powerful 8AT?

It will be even more interesting when Ford struggles for a long time and finds that it is still not as good as Nanshan's 8AT.

Maybe there will be unexpected surprises.

"Cao, you are indeed a smart man."

"I agree to this plan."

"However, I hope this matter will be carried out in a low-key manner, especially the transfer of Nanshan's 6AT gearbox technology to Ford. Try not to publicize it."

Chris breathed a sigh of relief.

This condition is still within the scope of my acceptance.

Next, you can consider the details of cooperation.

Especially the technical information of Nanshan 6AT must be handed over carefully.

Otherwise, Ford's purpose would be defeated.

"No problem, we just told other customers that Nanshan 6AT is supplied to Ford Motor Company."

"As for the rest?"

"Are there any others?"

Cao Yang spread his hands and showed a bright smile on his face.

As the second largest player in the global automobile industry, Ford adopts Nanshan's 6AT, which is already very convincing.

Not to mention that General Motors will probably use it next.

With the endorsement of these two big guys, it is enough for Nanshan Gearbox to open up the situation.

When the domestic independent brands learn about this situation, Cao Yang does not believe that they will not be interested.

Nanshan took the initiative to go to them to promote 6AT. People may have various questions and ask for various explanatory materials to be prepared.

There may not be any results in the end.

But if these companies take the initiative to visit Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd., the situation will be completely different.

There are only a few companies in the world that make 6AT automatic transmissions better.

These manufacturers are still reluctant to sell internationally advanced gearboxes such as 6AT to Chinese automobile companies.

Even if you spend money, you can often only buy 4AT.

That price is more expensive than the 6AT sold in Nanshan.

In this case, Nanshan can't get orders, so it will close down as soon as possible.

"Cao, you are a smart man. I believe that the cooperation between Nanshan and Ford will be a successful cooperation and a win-win cooperation."

Chris is also in a good mood.

The cost of a gearbox is reduced by about 5000 yuan, which can make Ford's financial statements look much better next year.

By then, his position as purchasing director should be as secure as a rock.

What needs to be considered is whether it can go further.

The next few details don’t all need to be finalized now.

Just let the respective teams of both parties communicate.

Cao Yang also had time to accompany Chris to eat, drink and have fun in Yangcheng.

After that, he personally sent him to the airport and let Chris board the flight to Shuangqing City.

Now that he's in China, Chris will definitely go to Chang'an Ford for a visit.

On the one hand, it is to understand the procurement situation of the joint venture company, and on the other hand, it is also to tell them the news that the 6AT gearbox will be purchased directly from Nanshan.

……

"Mr. Cao, is this cooperation really concluded?"

"According to the scale of Ford Motor Company, next year our turnover from selling transmissions alone can reach more than 20 billion."

"If you add in the components of Ford's own 6AT, this turnover can be doubled."

"It feels a bit like a dream."

Naturally, the internal management of Nanshan knew about such an important matter very quickly.

As the head of the gearbox division, Ji Hua felt that these past few days had been like a dream, so unreal.

He had only joined Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. for a few months and had already witnessed this miracle.

From now on, I will definitely be a Taishan Beidou-level figure in the field of Chinese automatic transmissions, right?

How will old colleagues from the School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering of BIT react when they know the news?

He is looking forward to it.

"I think your prediction is a bit conservative."

"Next year, not only Ford will use our 6AT, but other car companies such as General Motors will definitely make some moves later."

"Let alone 40 billion in turnover, doubling it is possible."

"Of course, as a result, your gearbox division will be busier."

"The construction of the factory is also progressing day and night, and relevant technicians and workers must be recruited and trained in advance."

"Don't let the orders come by then, but we reject them because of production capacity issues. That would be a real pity."

Cao Yang was in a good mood and took this opportunity to put some pressure on Ji Hua.

If the previous focus of the Transmission Division was on research and development, then the next step is to focus on production.

Of course, this does not mean that research and development will be ignored. After all, there is still continuous technological improvement that requires efforts.

At the same time, research on CVT gearboxes cannot stop.

Who knows what kind of products customers like.

"President Cao, don't worry!"

"The factory building has been built, and I will personally monitor the subsequent equipment installation, worker recruitment and training, and I will never let anything slip."

This is not only an opportunity for Nanshan, but also a good opportunity for Ji Hua personally.

Naturally, he didn't want to get into trouble.

It’s just that they don’t know how busy they will be when the news that Nanshan 6AT won the order from Ford Motor spreads.
