Chapter 54 I'm Disgusted

For a stamping factory, molds and equipment require regular maintenance.

Only in this way can their life span be fully guaranteed.

However, Zhang Fugui encountered a headache these days.

"Minister, the other party insisted that after-sales parts are all at this price, and asked us whether we want them?"

"If we don't order now, the next batch of parts will arrive from Japan in more than a month."

Su Mingxing was very nervous when he reported to Zhang Fugui about the purchase of maintenance parts for stamping equipment.

The purchasing and sales department of Nanshan Auto Parts Factory is divided into two departments, one is the purchasing department, and the other is naturally the sales department.

Su Mingxing is the section chief of the purchasing department and can be regarded as a related household.

"They dare to charge 1000 yuan for a bolt, and it also costs 2000 yuan/day in labor time, and ask their experts to come and replace it?"

Zhang Fugui looked at the price list handed over by Su Mingxing and was obviously disgusted.

Nanshan Auto Parts Factory is now also a factory that can make wheel bolts. It also has a rough estimate of the cost of the spare bolts used on the 600-ton PRG stamping machine.

No more than 10 yuan a piece!

Even if you include some additional transportation fees and the like, it will not exceed 50 yuan a piece.

Now the other party is offering a price of 1000 yuan per piece. One device requires 12 pieces, which is [-] yuan.

The most disgusting thing is that the Nanshan Auto Parts Factory has to pay 2000 yuan per day for working hours, accommodation in designated hotels, and air tickets.

This is simply too much bullying.

"Yes, Aida Stamping has said that if we replace parts on the equipment without authorization, they will not be covered by the warranty if there is any problem in the future."

When Su Mingxing said this, Zhang Fugui felt even more disgusted.

It seems that Cao Yang was really foresighted in setting up the equipment center in advance.

Although the stamping machine has not been completely manufactured yet, the progress is gratifying.

"The replacement of those bolts does not require much technical content. Can we let them remotely command and we can replace them ourselves?"

Considering that Nanshan Auto Parts Factory will be able to make its own equipment in the future, it will no longer need to be blackmailed by Aida.

So Zhang Fugui was considering whether to compromise first this time and do all the regular maintenance items.

The parts that need to be replaced should be replaced according to other people's requirements.

"I've talked to them several times and they don't agree."

"They still insist on that view. If any part on the equipment is replaced without their permission, the warranty agreement will automatically become invalid."

When Su Mingxing said this, Zhang Fugui immediately asked, "Did the previous agreement really have such a clause?"

"Yes, that agreement is a fixed template given by the other party, and no modifications will be accepted at all."

"So we held our noses and signed directly."

"The other party also said that this request is not Aida's request, but that this industry is like this."

"They even proposed that the warranty agreement for Boeing aircraft has similar provisions."

"Even if a seat mounting nut on the aircraft is loose, you cannot replace it without authorization. You are not even allowed to purchase bolts directly from the market to replace them. Instead, you have to buy them from Boeing for $[-] each."

Su Mingxing said this not to speak to Aida, but to show that it was not that he had not noticed the content before, but that the other party was unwilling to make any concessions.

"We currently have six Aida PRG equipment. Once the warranty project is completed, it is estimated that more than 6 yuan will be lost."

"This is simply a money grab."

Zhang Fugui was obviously very unwilling to pay the 10,000+.

Although the Nanshan Auto Parts Factory is now no less than 10,000+, one size equals one size.

"At the beginning, the price of Aida's press equipment was much lower than that of Schuler, and the delivery cycle was much shorter. I guess they had already thought about it and could slowly earn back the money through after-sales maintenance."

Su Mingxing guessed maliciously.

If he didn't put all the blame on Aida, this level would be very difficult.

Besides, he felt that what he said was correct.

"Whether this matter is big or small, I'll discuss it with the factory director."

As the director of the purchasing and sales department, Zhang Fugui can, in principle, directly approve projects within [-] yuan.

If the purchase of these spare parts and subsequent service fees are paid separately, each payment can basically be within [-].

In this way, it can be done within the purchasing department without rising to the company.

Many companies will take the approach of splitting a large project into many small projects.

This avoids the need to increase the approval level and makes project progress more flexible and faster.

Of course, it has also become more shady and more conducive to behind-the-scenes operations.

"Well, sooner or later, we can't hide this matter. It's better to report it to the factory director in advance."

Su Mingxing was still a little lucky at first, but now after hearing Zhang Fugui's words, his whole body wilts.

As the head of the purchasing department, his life was destined to be difficult during this period.

"The fox tail of the Japanese people was revealed so quickly?"

Contrary to Zhang Fugui's expectation, Cao Yang didn't get angry after hearing the report.

"We have also done some research. Whether it is stamping equipment or other equipment, some after-sales spare parts and services are relatively expensive. This is a common phenomenon."

"But these conditions from Aida are really a bit too much and too greedy."

Zhang Fugui's tone was full of dissatisfaction.

When selling, when facing the OEM, he, Party B, often has to be angry.

Now when purchasing, you are considered the Party A, right?

Actually, Party B is also angry with her!

What kind of life have you been living like?

"Those so-called international equipment giants are actually unreliable."

“That’s why I insisted on setting up my own equipment center.”

“The starting point is not to make some money by selling a few more devices, but not to get stuck.”

Cao Yang's calm look made Zhang Fugui slowly calm down.

"I'm afraid our own equipment won't be available so quickly. What should we do now?"

"There is no point in continuing to talk to them. They have no intention of having a good talk."

Zhang Fugui directly addressed the current difficulties he was facing.

"We are not dogs. Aida fed us a mouthful of shit and we want to eat it too?"

"But if we refuse their request, it will delay the normal maintenance of our equipment, and Aida will no longer provide warranty service in the future."

"If he doesn't give you warranty, we'll fix it ourselves. If he wants to disgust us, then we'll be disgusted and go back!"

In front of the OEM, Cao Yang sometimes considers compromise.

But in front of Aida, Cao Yang obviously had other plans!

High-end machine tools still have serious "neck jamming" phenomena.Domestic high-end machine tools still rely heavily on imports, with the annual import of metal cutting machine tools reaching nearly US$60 billion.At the same time, the localization rate of domestic high-end CNC systems, screw guides and other core components is less than 10%.Western developed countries have relatively strict control over high-end machine tools and high-end CNC systems. RB Fanuc's five-axis linkage CNC system is not open to domestic companies; American Machine Tools will conduct regular checks on users to understand the equipment usage; RB Machine Tools After the equipment moves, its CNC system may automatically lock; German CNC machine tools must be registered online before they can be used.
