Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 167 The incompetent Ai Xin

During this period of time, among the domestic auto parts companies, who is the most popular, it has to be Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd.

Customers from various OEMs, as well as inspection teams from institutions and scientific research institutes at all levels, appear almost every day.

However, if you want to say which parts company is the most anxious during this period, the No. 1 one has to be Aisin.

Although Aisin, ZF, JATCO and other international transmission giants have all been greatly affected by Nanshan 6AT, Aisin has the greatest impact.

For example, JATCO's main customer is Nissan.

Although the gearbox is also willing to be sold to the outside world, its size is far inferior to that of Aisin.

ZF currently mainly has European and American customers, especially customers in Europe.

At present, the actual impact of Nanshan 6AT in this aspect is not that big.

But Aisin is different.

Except for Toyota's orders, which are not affected, its orders from other customers have been affected.

Especially for China's own brands, almost all Aisin's customers are flirting with Nanshan.

Aisin Huaxia was filled with anxiety.

"Minister, I have communicated with many customers. Unless our 4AT price is 6 yuan cheaper than Nanshan's 3000AT, they will think it is competitive."

"Otherwise, people would rather purchase Nanshan's 6AT than our 4AT."

"As for 6AT, unless our price is very close to Nanshan 6AT, no one will be willing to use it."

"Even if individual customers are willing to cooperate with us, they will only use it on high-end derivatives of a very small number of models."

"As for MT gearboxes, although some customers continue to cooperate with us, they have increased their bargaining efforts."

"If our MT gearbox does not lower the price to less than 5000 yuan, they will not produce MT models."

"If we don't think of any solution to this situation, it will probably be difficult to change."

Zhang Hao's mood was very complicated at this time.

He never thought that Aixin would be so passive.

But this day came so suddenly and so quickly.

"Method?"

"What can be done?"

"We have hired a specialized consulting company and asked them to arrange for people to say that the Nanshan 6AT is not good on the Internet."

"But it seems to have no effect so far. It has even helped Nanshan 6AT gain a reputation."

"We also want to use the power of local leaders of the gearbox factory to let them put pressure on Nanshan."

"But these people, who are usually very enthusiastic, are finding all kinds of excuses to ignore us at this time."

"Even if some people say it's fine, in the end nothing happens."

"In this case, what do you think we should do?"

"Unless the headquarters can improve the technical parameters of our 6AT to the same level as Nanshan 6AT, or even higher, there will be no solution at all."

"Our costs cannot even be higher than Nanshan's, otherwise those independent brands that are very price-sensitive will abandon us immediately once they find that Nanshan's 6AT has no quality problems."

Saburo Sato was also under great pressure during this period.

The business of the entire Huaxia Branch is changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although these changes will not have a big impact on the performance in 2001, starting from 2002, adverse changes will immediately appear.

"Or we can join forces with ZF and JATCO to put pressure on Nanshan. Do you think it's feasible?"

Although Zhang Hao hopes that domestic auto parts companies can develop and grow, the prerequisite is that it cannot affect him.

Obviously, Nanshan's power has affected his interests.

In this case, he naturally sides with Ae-shin.

"Press?"

"How to apply pressure?"

"The technology is developed by ourselves, the parts are produced by ourselves, and even most of the materials are purchased domestically."

"What else can we do in this situation?"

"Is it possible that if we tell the purchasers of various OEMs that they want to use Nanshan's 6AT, we won't supply it?"

Zhang Hao was unable to refute Saburo Sato's words.

At this moment, Nanshan is no longer something Ai Shin can easily suppress.

Although the overall size of Nanshan is still far behind Aisin.

But in the field of Chinese auto parts, Nanshan is no longer a small company.

The most critical thing is Nanshan's success in the field of stamping equipment and the research and development of 6AT, which have attracted a lot of attention in China.

Whoever wants to deal with Nanshan at this time, Yangcheng will be the first to stand up and oppose it.

"If it doesn't work, we will have a good talk with Nanshan and see if we can cooperate well and make money together."

"A price war like this will not benefit anyone."

Zhang Hao couldn't think of a better way and could only choose to bow his head.

Anyway, in order to make money, it is not impossible to bow your head.

"If ZF and Gatco have a certain tacit understanding between us, this method should be feasible."

"But the styles of these Chinese companies are completely different from ours."

"This group of people always breaks the rules and causes a lot of problems for everyone."

"I really don't want to cooperate with them."

It is obviously difficult for a parts giant like Aisin to lower its noble head.

Especially the opponent is a local Chinese private enterprise like Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd.

Saburo Sato felt that he couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart.

Not to mention that this plan still needs to be discussed and reported to the headquarters.

When the time comes, you may be scolded terribly.

"SKF was using patent litigation to deal with Nanshan before. Do you think it would be useful if we adopt this method?"

"At that time, we will use Nanshan's products as a reason for patent disputes with us, and hope that various OEMs will not use Nanshan 6AT."

Seeing that Saburo Sato seemed unwilling to bow his head, Zhang Hao could only continue to make bad ideas.

"It's useless."

"If Nanshan is a very small company with little reputation, it would still make sense for us to do it this way."

"But now that they have grown, the lawsuit will only bring more attention to them."

"At that time, the courts in China will not be able to sentence them to lose when the other party obviously has no problem."

Sato Saburo was heartbroken for a few seconds and then gave up the idea.

When the time comes, he will be scolded even worse.

"What about acquisitions?"

"Is it possible for us to let the group take action and acquire Nanshan?"

Zhang Hao continued to make unreliable suggestions.

However, in the end Saburo Sato expressed his denial.

It is not easy for a competitive parts company to emerge in China. The other party is not short of money and market, so only a fool would sell it.

At this moment, Sato Saburo's phone rang.
