Chapter 487: I can’t afford to interfere!Nanshan Group begins to show influence

Sometimes, a phone call can change the mood of the day.

However, for Cao Yang, Zhang Jiaqi's call was obviously not that powerful.

"Mr. Cao, it seems that the news I just heard is true. Aisin and Yangcheng Automobile Group are going to have a signing ceremony tomorrow."

"Aisin will produce 4AT and 6AT products in this joint venture factory, and will also sell 8AT automatic transmissions to Yangcheng Trumpchi."

"It seems that some companies still have illusions about mastering transmission technology themselves."

Ji Hua sneered, obviously not so optimistic about the joint venture of Yangcheng Automobile Group.

The strength of Nanshan gearbox is definitely not what everyone sees now.

"It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married."

"They feel that the joint venture's production of gearboxes is a good thing for them, so let them give it a try first."

“You always have to try something before you know whether it’s good or bad.”

"After the joint venture of Yangcheng Aisin is established in the future, if the price of the same product is higher than that of Nanshan Transmission, Yangcheng Trumpchi will indeed switch us out, and then we will go to Yangcheng City to talk about it."

"Does this involve the loss of state-owned assets in disguise?"

"Is there something here that needs a good explanation?"

"Let's see how they end up."

Nanshan Group has many ways to deal with a joint venture gearbox company.

As long as Nanshan Transmission's QCD competitiveness can continue to cover food and accommodation, many things will not be a problem.

"Then let's not react in any way this time?"

"I'm worried that after their signing ceremony is completed tomorrow, more OEMs will immediately come to Aisin to discuss joint ventures."

Ji Hua said a little worried.

"It's not necessarily as exaggerated as you said. For example, BYD will most likely not take the initiative to talk to Aisin about a joint venture."

"There is also a high probability that Chery and Changan will not do this."

"Manufacturers who are pursuing this may not necessarily be very interested in building joint ventures."

"Manufacturers that are not pursuing joint ventures will not be very interested in building joint ventures."

"Only manufacturers that are not very advanced in technology but want to show their efforts will be interested in Aisin's solution."

"Of course, if Aisin is really determined to share its gearbox technology with the joint venture partners so that the joint venture factory becomes more than just a production factory, then there will definitely be many interested manufacturers."

"But I think Aisin should be reluctant to let go."

"If he is really willing to give up, he is digging his own grave. When the joint venture partners really obtain the technology, they will definitely have new ideas."

After hearing Cao Yang's point of view, Ji Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it sounds a bit confusing, once you think about it, you will feel that the truth seems to be this.

The situation is not that bad.

Aisin’s influence is not as great as imagined.

Nanshan Group is no longer a small company in China. If it really wants to use its strength to deal with some manufacturers, there are still many tricks it can use.

"Mr. Cao, then let's ignore the situation of Yangcheng Aixin first?"

"Forget it for now, let's see what trouble they can make!"

After Cao Yang finished speaking, he added: "Promote mass production of the low-end CVT and high-end 10AT as soon as possible, and then we will have more cards in our hands."

When you are confident, no matter what situation you face, there is no need to panic.

But if you don't have the confidence, even the slightest disturbance will make you uncomfortable.

Undoubtedly, the current Nanshan Group and the current Nanshan Gearbox are still very confident.

……

"Editor Fang, I just got the big news that Yangcheng Automobile Group and Aisin are setting up a joint venture to produce automatic transmissions."

Over at the NetEase Auto Channel, Lin Jiayan came to Fang Dawen's office excitedly.

For an automotive channel, it is the happiest thing to be able to grasp important industry news that other media have not grasped, and then be the first to report it.

But as the transmission of information becomes more and more convenient, it becomes increasingly difficult to achieve this goal.

"Yangcheng Automobile Group actually wants to establish a joint venture with Aisin?"

“Aren’t they afraid of angering Nanshan Gearbox?”

"Aisin is trying to cause trouble."

Fang Dawen's eyes lit up, he put down the mouse, and chatted with Lin Jiayan enthusiastically.

"Before the Nanshan gearbox came out, Aisin was very arrogant in China."

"Not only are 4AT products very expensive, but even 6AT products are even more reluctant to sell for money."

"In the past few years, things have gotten better. Nanshan Transmission has dealt a huge blow to Aisin. I guess Aisin has learned from the experience and started to reconsider seizing the Chinese market."

"After all, the Chinese auto market is likely to become the world's largest auto market this year. If Aisin completely loses the Chinese auto market other than Toyota, it will definitely be a very big loss."

"But the angle they chose to attack is really tricky."

"Yangcheng Automobile Group is willing to take risks to cooperate with them."

Lin Jiayan quickly gave her analysis based on the information she had.

She has just arranged for someone to send out a quick message, and is going to write a long analysis article to report on this matter later.

According to Lin Jiayan's understanding of China's auto parts industry, the emergence of a joint venture company like Yangcheng Aisin will definitely have a big impact on the industry.

Especially during this period, the popularity of Nanshan Group in China can definitely be described as popular fried chicken.

Many competitors of Nanshan Group dare not touch the tiger's butt easily.

Now that Yangcheng Automobile Group and Aisin have launched such a joint venture, it will definitely attract the attention of many interested people.

At that time, everyone will pay attention to the reaction from Nanshan Group.

Once there was no response from Nanshan Group, Lin Jiayan felt that there would be many people following the trend of Yangcheng Automobile Group.

"It seems that this time Aisin must have spent a lot of money and shown some sincerity."

"Yangcheng Automobile Group must have seen some useful information before making up its mind to cooperate with the other party."

"A few years ago, this kind of cooperation would have been to build an assembly factory, buy the parts from Aisin, and then simply assemble them in the joint venture factory and sell them to another joint venture's affiliated company."

"In the end, most of the profits were taken away by Aisin, and the joint venture partners just took a sip of soup."

Although Fang Dawen still doesn't know the specific content of the cooperation between Aisin and Yangcheng Automobile Group, he can roughly guess it with a little speculation.

"No matter what kind of cooperation they spend, we just need to publicize this news as soon as possible."

"This time there should be no way for Autohome to steal our limelight."

Lin Jiayan felt a little aggrieved when she thought about being beaten down by Autohome every time.

She felt that her abilities were not bad at all.

The only difference is a little bit of luck.

Soon, the NetEase Auto Channel further reported that Aisin Group and Yangcheng Automobile Group had joined forces to form a joint venture to produce gearboxes.

This surprised Autohome, which is keeping a close eye on its competitors.

"Mr. Yu, did you just see the news on the NetEase Auto Channel?"

He Ling rushed to Yu Yu's office holding her computer.

For her, if the content reported by NetEase Auto Channel is true, then the significance of this news is extraordinary.

She felt it was necessary to contact Nanshan Group immediately and contact Nanshan Gearbox to tell them about this matter.

"I just saw it and have already called Mr. Cao."

"But Mr. Cao seems to have known this information beforehand."

Yu Yu was obviously still a little confused.

She didn't quite understand why Cao Yang didn't look worried at all?

"Does Mr. Cao have any instructions?"

“Do we need to write a separate article criticizing Yangcheng Motor’s practice?”

"Or expose how some foreign parts giants cheated domestic joint venture partners in the past?"

The ass decides the head.

He Ling is from Autohome.

Autohome is a subsidiary of Nanshan Group.

So He Ling must be on the side of Nanshan Gearbox.

"No need for the time being, we just follow the trend and report this matter."

"Let's first look at the reactions of other peers, and also the reactions of some other OEMs."

Yu Yu shook his head, gave up the idea of ​​continuing to think about something, and then began to arrange for He Ling to do the next step.

Although this kind of news is not a good thing for Nanshan Group, if Autohome does not even report it, it will obviously lose the authority and fairness of the platform.

So reports must be reported.

It’s just that I won’t make a long and dedicated report.

This is also the most common news promotion method.

I don't lie, but I tell the truth selectively.

Therefore, even if people who know the inside story see this kind of news, it will be difficult to complain directly to them. After all, what they say is true.

But people who don't know the inside story can easily have another feeling when they see this kind of news.

This is what the platform hopes to achieve.

Sure enough, soon, the car channels of other portals also took action.

Naturally, many domestic OEMs have begun to know about this.

"Mr. Wang, I heard that Aisin and Yangcheng Automobile Group are discussing a joint venture for a gearbox factory. It only took a few days."

"The efficiency of this negotiation is unprecedentedly high."

"It can be seen from this result that Aisin should be quite sincere."

<divclass="contentadv">"And in the end, Yangcheng Automobile Group held 40% of the shares in the joint venture, which is not low."

As the director of the purchasing department of Great Wall Motors, Wei Qiang is naturally very concerned about the procurement of gearbox parts.

Great Wall Motors itself does not yet have the ability to produce gearboxes.

But now the gearboxes of all models are purchased from Nanshan Transmission, and they are definitely not particularly satisfied with this situation.

Wei Qiang is also thinking about how to change this situation.

Simply giving part of the share to other transmission manufacturers such as Aisin or ZF will make no sense if the cost becomes more expensive.

However, it has been exclusively monopolized by Nanshan Transmission, so Great Wall Motors has always been unable to stand up when facing the Nanshan Group.

So when Wei Qiang saw the news that Yangcheng Motor Group and Aisin had established a transmission company to jointly produce 4AT and 6AT automatic transmissions, he immediately thought that Great Wall Motors could also consider establishing a joint venture with Aisin to form a transmission company.

The sincerity of Aisin has been tested by Yangcheng Motor Group for Great Wall Motors.

Based on Great Wall Motor's sales last year and its influence in China, Wei Qiang feels that he should be able to obtain good conditions from Aisin that are not inferior to that of Yangcheng Motor Group.

Of course, before contacting Aisin, he must obtain Wang Ying's approval.

Otherwise, a good thing might turn into a bad thing.

After all, no company leader wants to see his subordinates making unauthorized decisions on important matters.

"Ai Xin, this can be considered as a thousand gold to buy horse bones."

"With a quick move, we have reached a cooperation agreement with Yangcheng Automobile Group to establish a joint venture gearbox factory, which will enable mass production next year."

"This can definitely attract a group of companies that are interested in producing their own gearboxes."

"We, Geely, and Chery may all be interested."

"As for state-owned enterprises such as Xifeng Automobile Group and Imperial Automobile Group, it goes without saying."

Wang Ying could see at a glance the good plans of Yangcheng Automobile Group and Aisin Group.

However, this time she was a little unfavorable about Aisin's actions in the country.

In terms of technological advancement and cost control methods, Nanshan Group is the best.

It is difficult for a joint venture factory like Aisin to achieve a lower cost of gearbox than Nanshan gearbox.

Under such circumstances, there will probably be resistance if we try to forcefully promote Aisin's joint venture products, which have a lower technical level.

"Then should I take the initiative to call the general manager of Aisin China and ask them to arrange for people from Japan's Aisin to come to Great Wall Motors to communicate with us."

"Perhaps this is a turning point for Great Wall Motors to independently develop gearboxes."

As the Minister of Purchasing, Wei Qiang is very impressed by the strength of the international auto parts giant.

Obviously, even if Nanshan Group is really strong domestically, when it comes to the international level, the situation is a bit difficult to say.

"Our 1.5T engines are already produced in our own factories, and a small part of engines with other displacements are also produced in our own factories."

"In this case, Nanshan Group will definitely have some opinions on us."

"They previously strongly supported the development of Changan Automobile and followed a path similar to ours. Isn't it because of this?"

"If we don't buy our gearboxes from Nanshan Group, it is absolutely impossible to think that this matter will have no impact on our cooperative relationship at all."

"You should be very aware of the influence of Nanshan Group in the country."

"Not to mention that Nanshan Auto Parts supplies so many parts that we can't find a better manufacturer to produce them in a short time. Even if they can, the cost will definitely not be lower."

"In this case, what is the point of us looking for cooperation with Aisin to produce gearboxes?"

Wang Ying's mind is very clear.

In recent years, Great Wall Motors has also increased its efforts in producing its own parts.

Some parts have also been successfully produced by ourselves.

But in terms of gearboxes, although Great Wall Motors has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in research, the results so far are not very good.

The complexity of automatic transmissions is higher than they imagined.

"That's true, or if we take the initiative to communicate with Mr. Ji of Nanshan Transmission, it means that Aisin has contacted us to discuss the joint venture to build a transmission factory, but we rejected it."

Wei Qiang felt that Great Wall Motors had to take a sip of soup to make sense of this matter.

Otherwise, wouldn’t all the hard work be in vain?

This was not what he wanted to see.

"I'll call Mr. Cao, and you call Mr. Ji."

"I simply expressed my interest in this news, and then someone from Aisin also contacted us and wanted to come and discuss the gearbox factory with us."

"We must find a way to send this favor away."

Wang Ying actually knew that Cao Yang was in Yangcheng, so he would definitely be able to obtain information faster than himself.

But you know it, I care about it.

Even if you don't do any unnecessary actions at that time, you will still be accepted as a favor.

Sure enough, when Wang Ying called Cao Yang, all she received was the sincerity of Nanshan Group.

However, not all car companies share the same idea as Great Wall Motors.

For example, Xifeng Automobile Group took the initiative to contact Aisin at this time.

However, Xifeng Automobile Group's own independent brands are not very popular, and in addition to Nanshan Gearbox, it also has some fixed partners.

Under such circumstances, they obviously have higher expectations for their cooperation with Aisin.

There will also be fewer concessions that can be made.

We had just enjoyed a lot of concessions from Yangcheng, but from the Xifeng Motor Group, it felt like all the benefits had been taken away.

This naturally made Aisin's people a little unhappy.

"President, although Xifeng Automobile Group really wants to cooperate with us, its attitude is still relatively high at present."

"I would suggest talking to other customers first and then going back to Zephyr Automotive Group."

"We can even spread the word and say that Xifeng Motor Group's asking price is too high and Aisin cannot accept it."

Okumura personally participated in the negotiations with Xifeng Automobile Group, and was a little dissatisfied at this time.

"There's no need to say so much. Just book a flight for tonight and let's go to the Imperial Capital."

"If you talk to another customer, you might get a surprise."

"With the first joint venture, if the second one also signs an agreement, other interested partners will definitely be anxious."

"Don't say that there is no way to get more shares in the future. We will not have to make any commitments in terms of the localization rate of gearboxes, making our cooperation more flexible."

Yoshikawa feels that doing business like gearboxes is not as simple as buying and selling pork in a wet market.

Before making a decision, you still need to fully consider the pros and cons behind the decision.

"Well, I'll arrange it right away."

"It is also a good thing for us to use other Chinese companies to stimulate Xifeng Automobile Group."

"Anyway, our 6AT technology will be learned by others sooner or later, but as long as we don't take out the drawings and some of the most precise data, other people will imitate the automatic transmissions produced, no matter in terms of lifespan. In terms of stability, there has been a decline.”

"To exaggerate a bit, gearbox failure started immediately."

Okumura has doubts about the level of automatic transmissions produced by Chinese manufacturers.

Of course, they mainly have questions about companies other than Nanshan Gearbox.

Soon, as Aixin and his party left Qingcheng, Li Shaobo, the boss of Xifeng Motor Group, also had some doubts.

"Director Yang, how come Aixin didn't even have a meal together in the evening after talking for a whole day, but just left for the Imperial Capital?"

"Does this mean we have no sincerity in cooperation or something?"

Li Shaobo was in a bad mood.

In his opinion, Yangcheng Automobile Group and Xifeng Automobile Group are not rivals in terms of size.

Now you have given Yangcheng Automobile Group such good conditions.

So the conditions I want are better than those of Yangcheng Automobile Group, is that too much?

Yangcheng Automobile Group is just a local state-owned enterprise that is not even at the deputy department level.

But they are from Xifeng Automobile Group?

Big central enterprise!

China's second automobile manufacturing plant!

The pile of honors in the past are not just made up.

"Mr. Li, I think Aisin is still in the pick-and-choose stage."

"With a joint venture company like Yangcheng Aisin setting the template there, they must think that many manufacturers in China will come to them."

"In this way, they can further propose more stringent conditions."

"But we won't let him get his wish easily."

As the director of the Xifeng Automobile Group Technology Center and a senior engineer, Yang Qingshan can be considered an expert-level talent.

If placed in a school, it would definitely be worthy of the position of dean of an automobile college.

"Forget it, although things are a bit wrong, we'd better stay still for now."

"This matter is likely to involve some competition and conflict between Nanshan Group and Aisin Group. It is best not to get involved in this conflict first."

"Otherwise, people around you can find some topics and excuses to refute you and render you speechless."

"Ultimately with their media propaganda, the situation may completely change."

When it comes to smearing opponents, some foreign media are absolutely unrivaled in the world.

Li Shaobo has also seen this situation before.

"Then let's just leave it like this?"

"Or call Nanshan Group and share the information with them?"

"Lest people see the news from the media and have any special thoughts about us."

Yang Qingshan quickly put forward a new suggestion.

Li Shaobo naturally fully agreed with this.
