Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 122 Although the routine is old, the effect is as good as ever

Today, Zhang Fugui, who attended the commissioning ceremony of Huaqiang Factory with Cao Yang, felt a lot of pressure.

Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd.'s presses are only used by Huaqiang Factory and Spring City Stamping.

If he were asked to go to Spring City Fourth Ring Factory or Xifeng Die Stamping to sell presses, he would still have some confidence.

After all, these are domestic enterprises or state-owned enterprises.

When purchasing imported equipment, you need to face various audits, and the procedures are a bit cumbersome.

But purchasing domestic equipment is much simpler.

But now Cao Yang intends to expand the press market to Japanese-owned enterprises such as Yangcheng Aiji and Yangcheng Aipak.

He suddenly became unsure.

For a long time, these Japanese companies have either used Aida or Komatsu when choosing presses.

Even if there are occasional exceptions, they will not be Chinese domestic brands.

"Mr. Cao, I learned about it. Generally speaking, foreign-funded enterprises such as Yangcheng Aiji import equipment directly in line with the headquarters factory."

"Whose equipment the headquarters uses will be used as a reference when building factories in China."

"This way we can put the factory into production as quickly as possible."

"It would be very difficult for us to sell the press to them."

Zhang Fugui did not want to shirk responsibility, but felt that it was necessary for Cao Yang to recognize the reality and lower his expectations.

"exactly."

"However, because of this, don't you think this is the best opportunity to suppress Japanese press manufacturers such as Aida and Komatsu?"

"If even Japanese-owned stamping factories are using our presses, even if they only use part of them, this is also a very good advertisement, right?"

When Cao Yang asked this question, Zhang Fugui immediately had nothing to say.

The benefits of selling presses to Yangcheng Aiji and Yangcheng Aipak are really countless.

"Both of these suppliers have shares in Honda, and Honda is still their major shareholder."

"Their investment in domestic factories and equipment should also be discussed with Honda people."

"If we really want to do this business, it would be best to find a solution from the Japanese people at Yangcheng Honda."

Seeing Cao Yang's resolute attitude, Zhang Fugui immediately gave up his original idea and began to think about what to do next.

"exactly!"

"We just need to find a suitable entry point now so that the Japanese people at Yangcheng Honda can objectively review our press and mold technology."

“We definitely don’t have to worry about losing to Aida and Komatsu simply by fighting for technology and cost.”

Cao Yang was also constantly thinking about how to convince the Japanese people at Yangcheng Honda.

In 2001, the relationship between the two countries was pretty good.

They will not give up cooperation simply because Nanshan is a Chinese company.

"Mr. Cao, can you consider the method of attracting Ford and General Motors?"

When talking about the entry point, Zhang Fugui's first reaction was the appearance of the pickup truck.

"Appearance picture..."

This time, Cao Yang did not refuse directly.

All along, he was actually reluctant to use the exterior plan.

Because the appearance of the models designed by one person is so varied and avant-garde, sometimes it is difficult to explain clearly.

One or two models are okay, which can be understood as a flash of inspiration.

Everyone can accept it.

If it is the same as the wholesale business, not only will the value of the appearance picture decrease, but people will also be particularly curious about Cao Yang.

When the time comes, if we dig deeper into Nanshan’s stuff over the years, we will find more and more bugs.

This is something Cao Yang doesn't want to face.

The most important thing is that the introduction of various impactful models in advance will have a certain impact on the pattern of the international automobile market.

For Cao Yang, his greatest advantage is knowing the general development of the world.

If this changes significantly, it will be a huge loss for him.

"The equipment center is one of the focuses of the company's future development. It can even be said that in the future the company will focus on the parts industry with one leg and the equipment industry with the other."

“So it’s worth investing more resources.”

"Being able to win press orders from Yangcheng Aiji and Yangcheng Aipak is of great significance to our equipment center."

Zhang Fugui saw that Cao Yang was a little hesitant and added fuel to the fire.

"What you said makes sense, I'll think about it again."

Cao Yang was a little moved.

But he is still struggling with what model to bring out.

Later generations of Fit, Accord, Civic, and CRV all have very classic shapes.

Any one of them is very effective.

But he didn't want to bring out such a capable model.

"There is a big gap between Honda and Toyota in Japan."

"Now we can't even enter Spring City Toyota's supply system. It would be a good thing if Honda can add some trouble to Toyota."

When Zhang Fugui said this, Cao Yang suddenly had an idea.

Wouldn't it be enough to make a car model that is only popular in Japan?

This will not have a big impact on the international automobile market, but it will also allow Toyota to feel the pressure, and it can also achieve the goal of entering the press into foreign-invested enterprises.

Later Honda's N-BOX left a very deep impression on Cao Yang.

This kind of product under Japan's special policy has no market at all after leaving the country.

However, due to tax and other support, "K-cars" such as N-BOX are very popular in Japan.

Take this thing out yourself and treat it as waste.

"In this case, you go and help make an appointment with the Honda director of the Honda Procurement Department in Yangcheng, and I will go see him."

The linkage between procurement and design is very close.

Cao Yang now has no way to directly contact the personnel at Honda Research Institute.

But the head of the purchasing department of Yangcheng Honda must have a way.

As for the appearance of N-BOX, as long as you want to make it, it doesn’t take much time at all.

I took out the appearance diagram for the last time and used it on Japanese people. I must squeeze out the value to the maximum extent.

……

Honda attaches great importance to the North American market. It has never made a pickup truck. It is even internally developing a pickup model called "Ridgeline" for the North American market.

Naturally, they are also very concerned about the F150, which is the most popular model in the American market this year.

Vaguely, they also heard that the appearance drawing of this F150 was drawn by a Chinese designer.

If they hadn't heard more follow-up news, they would have also asked this designer from China to help design an appearance drawing of the pickup truck.

The price is negotiable!

Now there is news from Yangcheng Honda that the F150's exterior designer wants to cooperate with them, and their design director in charge of styling immediately succumbed and flew over from Japan.

Obviously, they are very interested in this cooperation.

I even began to fantasize about the scene of my own pickup truck competing with the F150 in North America.

As for the conditions for the Nanshan meeting, Honda Research Institute has held an emergency meeting to discuss it. As long as it is not too excessive, anything can be discussed.

It seems that although Cao Yang's routine is old, the effect is as good as ever.

Of course, Cao Yang felt that it would be better to use this kind of routine sparingly in the future.
