Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 227 Nanshan launches the clarion call to charge again, many people are getting nervous

Golden autumn October.

It’s a busy season for Nanshan.

The Engine Division is intensively preparing for the large-scale mass production of 1.5T turbocharged engines and the development of 2.0T/1.0T turbocharged engines.

The equipment center and mold center are also busy completing orders in hand.

As for the gearbox division, business is booming and busy.

Even the robotics division has begun to show significant improvement.

At this year's campus job fair, Nanshan once again recruited 1000 fresh graduates and also started social recruitment for 1000 people.

The scale has reached tens of billions, and its reputation is very high in Yangcheng and even Lingnan.

In addition, Nanshan's treatment is much better than that of ordinary private companies. This year's recruitment work is obviously much better than in previous years.

"Mr. Cao, why didn't you go to the imperial capital for your campus recruitment?"

"The best universities in the country are all over there. If you want to recruit talents, that's where you should go."

Fang Sisi would come to Nanshan from time to time to ask Cao Yang for news materials.

The fact that Nanshan will recruit 2000 fresh and past college students this year is quite news.

In particular, Cao Yang said that he would invest 20 billion in research and development this year, which attracted a lot of attention.

So Fang Sisi is not pretending to be a public servant for personal gain.

"No matter what conditions Nanshan offers to the top universities in the country, few people are willing to come."

"People first focus on studying abroad. After all, as long as you can study in the United States and find a job there, you can easily earn thousands of dollars a month. You can even go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to find a job with a monthly salary of over [-] dollars. Not surprisingly."

"This kind of treatment is indeed not something Nanshan can afford now."

"No matter how bad the situation is, even if people don't go abroad, they will go to foreign companies such as McKinsey, Siemens, and Procter & Gamble."

"So there is no need for us to waste time recruiting such talent."

"At least in the next few years there is no need to spend limited recruitment costs on them."

Cao Yang directly said what was on his mind, leaving Fang Sisi unable to refute.

After all, no matter how powerful Nanshan is now, there is still a big gap between it and the real international giants.

At least in terms of wages, the gap is not so easy to catch up with.

Siemens' one-day business trip subsidy for a business trip to the plateau is almost as much as a month's salary of an ordinary employee in Nanshan.

Although Nanshan has mastered the core technology and has relatively high profit margins, it has not significantly increased labor costs.

If this was really done, a bunch of other companies would probably come forward to complain against us.

In his previous life, Cao Yang had heard of a case in which an entrepreneur in a county under a relatively developed second-tier city doubled the basic salary of workers with great conscience.

Then within a few days, his factory was smashed!

This is a real case.

Although Cao Yang is not worried about someone destroying Nanshan's factory, the salary aspect does need to be gradual.

Otherwise, it will be a matter of friendship and enmity!

"I heard that Nanshan is going to increase the number of R&D personnel to 5000. In China, except for a few central enterprises, no other company in China has that many R&D personnel, right?"

"Many people now feel that it is a waste to invest huge manpower and material resources to produce products that are available in the international market when funds are limited."

"What do you think of this point of view?"

Fang Sisi is quite familiar with the situation in Nanshan.

She had an idea that she would follow the development of Nanshan in the next ten years and turn it into a documentary, which might achieve unexpected results.

"Bullshit!"

Cao Yang curled his lips and completely disagreed with Fang Sisi's point of view.

"According to your statement, now that a large amount of low-priced corn and wheat can be purchased in the international market, is there no need to spend a lot of effort in research in China?"

"For example, all kinds of chips can be purchased in China, so there is no need to study them?"

"Even the parts for cars can be produced by international parts giants. Doesn't it mean that domestic companies don't need to do research?"

"Let's not talk about whether one day they will suddenly stop selling to you. The price alone is not at the same level."

"Before Nanshan did not produce gearboxes, domestic companies would only pay 6 yuan for the Aisin 1AT automatic gearbox, but they would not sell it."

"Other parts are in a similar situation."

“Although engaging in research and development will cause pain, it can solve the problem of long-term development of the enterprise.”

Cao Yang definitely belongs to the technical school and supports independent research and development.

Otherwise, when someone tries to choke you, you won't be able to resist at all.

"I heard that the researchers at Nanshan have made many achievements in the past year and are now preparing to promote them to various customers. Is this the case?"

Fang Sisi didn't argue with Cao Yang.

Anyway, she was just collecting some materials.

"That's right!"

"The domestic automobile industry is developing so fast, and parts technology must naturally catch up with the international forefront in a timely manner."

"Parts such as our bolts and nuts, bearings, gears, speakers, and instruments have now achieved new results."

"In addition to BYD and other independent brands that are using or preparing to use it, we will also work with Ford Motor, General Motors and other companies to promote our new technology."

At the end of this year, Nanshan is preparing to launch another charge and look for new cooperation opportunities with various automobile manufacturers.

Even Nanshan's R&D personnel have begun to communicate with R&D personnel from General Motors, Ford, Volkswagen and other car companies to discuss future research on new technology parts.

"Didn't you just hold Nanshan Science and Technology Day in June?"

"Do we still need to promote it now?"

After all, Fang Sisi is not from the automobile industry, so naturally she is not clear about some of the ways inside.

"That's different. Science and Technology Day only showcases some technologies, but specific cooperation still needs to be discussed slowly."

"Besides, we haven't formally quoted each customer or anything. How could the project be finalized so quickly?"

"Besides, there are some things that cannot be explained in detail by the Technology Day exhibition alone. The key things still require the sales department and R&D personnel to work together to communicate with customers."

"During this period, our colleagues in the sales department are basically busy with this matter."

"We are ready to comprehensively enter into various auto parts and make the auto parts business bigger and stronger."

Cao Yang continued to chat with Fang Sisi, but if he was in the mood to chat, some people would have a hard time.

"Hassan, the new model team of the new Passat has just held a kick-off meeting. We will use a 1.8T turbocharged engine in the future."

"But I looked at the parameters and found that there is no advantage compared to BYD's F6 model."

"And there are a lot of parts on it, and they actually need to be imported from abroad. This is not an option."

In Shanghai Volkswagen, Bu Defan has now been promoted to purchasing director.

And his good partner Dr. Hassan is the quality director.

Naturally, they can learn about the company's latest model planning information.

"Policies in Europe have increasingly higher requirements on fuel consumption. Only small-displacement turbocharged engines can fully meet these requirements."

"Our engine platform and transmission platform will undergo major changes in the future."

"But I think this change should be in line with market trends."

"As for the Passat 1.8T turbocharged engine that you said is not as powerful as the BYD F6, the headquarters should also be aware of this issue."

"I believe that the headquarters is also considering ways to deal with it."

"However, I think the cost of the engine is what you need to pay more attention to than the parameter issue."

When Hassan said this, Bu Devan couldn't help but frown.

After years of hard work, the cost of the engine was finally reduced.

Now that a new turbocharged engine is built, the cost is expected to increase by 5000 yuan.

This is absolutely unacceptable!

At that time, the purchasing department will be under great pressure.

"After changing to a turbocharged engine, the main reason is that the cost of the high-pressure oil pump and turbocharger is relatively high, and both parts need to be imported."

"Basically, [-]% of the increased costs are borne by them."

"Except for Nanshan, which proactively approached us and said it could handle these two parts, other domestic manufacturers need to import them from Japan, the United States, Germany and other places."

"So, I'm a little confused."

In front of Hassan, Budfan did not hide his thoughts.

His previous impression of Nanshan was quite good.

But after Nanshan started working on turbocharged engines, he vaguely felt the threat Nanshan posed to the public in Shanghai.

Having a powerful supplier like Nanshan in China is good for Volkswagen's cost reduction efforts, but it is even more beneficial for China's own brand car companies.

Although Bu Defan is only responsible for purchasing and sales matters are not his responsibility, his whole family works at Volkswagen, so he still has a strong sense of ownership.

"What are you concerned about?"

"Isn't it enough to force those suppliers to make high-pressure oil pumps and turbochargers domestically?"

"Denso, Bosch, and Delphi can all produce high-pressure oil pumps. In the future, our engines will all use turbocharged engines. The demand for high-pressure oil pumps is very large. I believe someone will engage in localization."

"As for turbochargers, it goes without saying. Whether it's Ishikawa, BorgWarner, or Eaton, which of these companies doesn't have a factory in China?"

"Just let them produce the turbochargers in China's factories."

"If not, you threaten them and say that we are going to switch to another manufacturer."

Hassan doesn't have to be responsible for the cost, so it's easy to say whatever he wants.

But Bu Defan is different.

"The main thing I'm struggling with is not these, but whether I should use Nanshan's high-pressure oil pump and turbocharger."

"For these two parts, only Nanshan in China has started mass production."

"Judging from the performance of the F6, the engine produced in Nanshan is not bad, and the quality of related parts is naturally also online."

When Hassan said this, Bu Devan became even more confused.

"You are right. Because of this, I don't know whether we should continue to expand Nanshan's parts procurement share."

"I have a feeling of being an enemy."

Bu Defan felt vaguely nervous. He felt that Nanshan might bring some threats to the public in the future.

"This is not an issue we should consider. If QCD's better parts are not used, then other car companies will use them and squeeze our market. Wouldn't it be even more uncomfortable?"

When Hassan said this, Budfan had nothing to say.

However, he still feels that Nanshan needs to be paid more attention to.

Observe the changes in Nanshan and their impact on Volkswagen in a timely manner.

……

"Tang, are you actually planning to let Nanshan produce these instruments and speakers in China?"

"Why not continue to use the same manufacturers as in the United States?"

Inside Changan Ford, Thomas was listening to a report on the increase in Mondeo's localization rate.

The Mondeo produced twice last year was basically made in China in the form of CKD.

Now that the products are selling well on the market, Changan Ford will naturally start to reduce procurement costs and increase the localization rate.

"Thomas, the price of instruments and speakers in Nanshan is 20% cheaper than others."

"Then their instruments are all LCD, and the sales department is very supportive of the use of instruments with this specification."

"As for the audio, Nanshan will launch DA with navigation function next. I think the current audio will be used first, and it should be very convenient to replace it with Nanshan's navigation in the after-sales market in the future."

“Companies such as Panasonic and Visteon cannot match this aspect.”

Since Tang Jiguo reported like Thomas, he was naturally fully prepared.

Otherwise, how could he dare to come out with those parts proposals?

"The parts Nanshan made before were basically in the chassis field. For electronic parts, their experience should be relatively lacking. I think it will take some time to observe."

Thomas has never had a good impression of Nanshan.

But because he knew that Nanshan had a good relationship with Ford Motor's global purchasing director, he did not dare to embarrass Nanshan too much.

But there is no problem in setting some thresholds for this new project.

However, Tang Jiguo was having dinner with Nanshan's sales staff last night, so he would not back down easily.

Anyway, he felt that he was justified in this matter.

"Nanshan's CNC system won the first prize in the Science and Technology Progress Award in China and is used by many machine tool manufacturers. This shows that Nanshan's technology accumulation in electronic systems is also very deep."

"The technical difficulty of instrumentation and audio is not that high."

"If we don't boldly use local competitive manufacturers in China, our future development speed will lag behind other manufacturers."

Although Tang Jiguo said this, Thomas would not agree so easily.

After all, he had dinner with people from Visteon last night.

Of course, Cao Yang would not know about this episode.

At this moment, he was personally taking Zeng Tingting and Mi Ying to visit customers and start a new round of charge.
