Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 109: To disturb the core interests of giants

The gearbox is the one that uses the most bearings and gears among all parts of the car.

As long as the gearbox can be solved, it will not only provide a market for Nanshan's bearings, but also allow the gear production line, which has not been developed, to operate.

This field is very core for both international automobile giants and parts giants.

For car companies such as Honda and Volkswagen, most of their gearboxes are researched and produced by themselves.

They don't care that much whether Nanshan produces gearboxes or not.

But for transmission giants such as Aisin, ZF and JATCO, this is not the case.

Even for bearing giants such as SKF, NTT, and JTEKT, gearbox orders cannot be missed.

Now SKF has united a group of bearing giants to deal with Nanshan. Cao Yang has chosen to break up, and then he has to enter the opponent's core field.

That's why when he met Ji Hua this time, he directly brought out the 6AT automatic transmission technology.

Nowadays, mainstream automatic transmissions are basically 4AT. If you can use 5AT, it is considered a very high-end choice.

Although this situation will start to change in a few years, but even so, everyone just chooses to evolve to 6AT.

It will not be until more than ten years later that DCT and CVT will become popular.

Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. chose 6AT as the entry point, which is definitely very good.

As long as there is no problem with the quality, the high-end sense of Nanshan gearbox can be established from the beginning.

Whether 8AT or CVT is launched later, it will be easier to open up the market.

"Is this TCU really being developed by you?"

"Hardware may be solved through procurement or OEM, but software involves a lot of parameter selection, and theoretical research alone is not enough."

If an ordinary person told Ji Hua to sign a confidentiality agreement, he would turn away and leave.

But Cao Yang was introduced by Pan Jinxing, and he will still be his old classmate’s boss from now on.

No matter how low his emotional intelligence is, Ji Hua will not be so ignorant this time.

After he signed the confidentiality agreement, Cao Yang immediately handed him the information he had prepared.

By the way, I also exchanged some design concepts and ideas related to TCU with him.

The conversational look made Ji Hua feel that he was not dealing with a young man in his 20s at all.

He is an old expert who has been deeply involved in the gearbox industry for decades.

Of course, Ji Hua was certainly not without doubts.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t ask like this.

"Professor Ji, when we in Nanshan chose to use the PRG process to produce nut plates, both Modu Volkswagen and Spring City Volkswagen didn't believe it."

“When we were producing PRG presses, Aida and Schuler also thought we were messing around.”

“Even when we were producing wheel bolts and hub bearings, no one was optimistic about it at the beginning.”

"But so far, we in Nanshan have taken one step at a time and have become a medium-sized parts company with a monthly turnover of more than 7000 million yuan and will soon exceed [-] million yuan."

"Nanshan is going to enter the field of gearboxes, but few people think it will be successful now."

“But in the end, facts will prove that whatever we brag about in Nanshan will eventually come true.”

The information is in Ji Hua's hands. If he doesn't believe it, Cao Yang really has nothing to say.

After all, trust cannot be solved in one or two sentences.

"I know Lao Pan's personality very well. He is willing to go to your Nanshan because his company is quite special."

"I submitted my resignation report last week and plan to go to Germany in the second half of the year."

"Before that, I am willing to go to your Nanshan to stay for a few months."

"If you are really serious about working on gearboxes, then even if the salary is lower than in Germany, I will work with you!"

Although Ji Hua still has many questions in his mind.

But he chose to give it a try.

In my heart, I was obviously still a little unwilling to return to Germany in such a dejected manner.

"Welcome Professor Ji to join our Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd., then Nanshan's gearbox division will be handed over to you."

Cao Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

Once the two masters are taken care of, the next thing will be easier to handle.

Pulling out a radish can also bring out mud.

Now that we have poached two big players, why not also poach their protégés and the like?

……

"Holm, at Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd., is there any movement during this time?"

At SKF China Branch, Ovid was very concerned about whether the actions he had taken after spending so much effort were effective.

"The construction progress of their Nanshan Industrial Park will definitely be affected."

"So far, they have only placed a small part of the equipment order, which is very different from the information when they first invited bids."

"Obviously, our plan to join forces with other bearing manufacturers and equipment manufacturers to deal with Nanshan has worked."

Holm was in a very good mood.

Being able to make Nanshan suffer is more comfortable than making money myself.

"What's going on at the OEMs such as Modu Volkswagen and Modu GM?"

After hearing what Holmer said, Ovid breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how powerful Nanshan is, it is still no match for a group of giants joining forces.

"We inquired and found that Nanshan's bearing production line can basically only meet orders for wheel hub bearings."

"For other engine crankshaft bearings, transmission shaft bearings, etc., we may be able to handle a few orders."

"If we really ask them to make a lot of parts, their production capacity will not be enough."

“This will not be possible until at least next year after the construction of their industrial park is completed.”

"So whether Volkswagen or General Motors, they are actually just taking this opportunity to put pressure on us and want us to lower prices."

"At the beginning, we agreed to reduce the price of some parts, but after we figured out the situation, their move didn't have much effect."

Even if Ovid didn't ask, Holmer was ready to report to him properly.

"It seems that Nanshan is deliberately trying to cause trouble in the industry and prevent everyone from making money comfortably."

"Is there any way to make them disappear?"

Ovid felt that the emergence of Nanshan was a variable.

This will break the tacit understanding and cooperation between SKF and NTT, JTEKT, NSK and other bearing manufacturers.

You can obviously make a lot of money lying down, so why do you have to work so hard?

This is all Nanshan's fault!

"This is a bit difficult, but it shouldn't be impossible."

"Why don't I go back and ask the Chinese people in the sales department? I think they are more experienced in this aspect than us?"

When Holmer mentioned this, Ovid immediately asked him to ask quickly.
