Chapter 41 Depressed Magic City General

While various departments of the Nanshan Auto Parts Factory were feeling a bit depressed, they were trying to produce wheel nuts that they didn't know if customers wanted. A group of people in the city were also feeling depressed.

"Mr. Wang, this time when the group came to investigate the project to improve the localization rate, we found that the nut plate was already produced in China, then exported to the United States, and then exported to us again."

"This is a problem we have never encountered before. The group's researchers specifically pointed it out and criticized it for more than half an hour."

"Currently, they require us to understand the situation within three days, formulate countermeasures, and report to the group leaders."

Yu Xing reported the bad news to Wang Huiliang, deputy director of the department, a little uneasily.

As an employee of the Import and Export Department of General Motors Purchasing Department in Shanghai, his usual job is relatively easy.

Just provide the relevant information about the imported parts to the customs and go through some customs clearance procedures.

Basically, he does not need to report to the department director once throughout the year.

Unexpectedly, this report was bad news.

It was the kind of bad news that was unheard of and unimaginable.

"Produced in China and then exported to the American General Motors headquarters. After the other party added a large management fee, they exported it to us again?"

"Are you sure this nut plate is really like this?"

Wang Huiliang was also confused.

How could this be the case?

Since its establishment in 1997, Modu General Motors has been making every effort to promote the localization of parts and components.

Although the nut plate is an inconspicuous part, its value is not particularly high.

However, in the context of vigorously promoting localization, Modu General has encountered a situation where domestically produced parts were exported and then imported again. No wonder the group leaders were so angry.

Speaking more broadly, the Purchasing Department of Shanghai General Motors is going against the general policy.

Wang Huiliang felt the pressure immediately.

Then there is depression!

He had never thought of doing this.

This nut plate was sold by General Motors of America to Shanghai General Motors, and it was not a business done by Wang Huiliang's trading company registered abroad.

He didn't get a dime of benefits, but he made himself into a coquettish person.

"Mr. Wang, we have repeatedly confirmed that the country of origin of these nut plates is indeed China."

"In order to avoid misunderstandings in information communication, I also sent a special email to the counterpart at American General Motors. The results of their reply are also consistent with our investigation."

Yu Xing also reported there very depressedly.

He is just the person responsible for customs declaration of imported parts. What does this kind of thing have to do with him?

Why do you have to wipe your own ass now?

"Print out the information and tell me the situation from beginning to end. I still don't fully understand."

Wang Huiliang felt that his mind was getting more and more confused.

This matter can be big or small. If it is not handled well, it may become a negative example of the group.

It will affect your future at that time.

Yu Xing, who was well prepared, immediately handed a stack of information to Wang Huiliang, and then began to explain it carefully page by page next to him.

"So, this nut plate was actually produced by an American supplier and then exported to us through American General?"

"Yes, the parts that arrived in the past few months are still in the same condition. It is only since this month that there has been a change."

"This Nanshan Auto Parts Factory seems not to be our supplier, right?"

As the deputy director of the purchasing department, Wang Huiliang is relatively familiar with the major suppliers.

For some smaller suppliers, I am somewhat impressed.

But Nanshan Auto Parts Factory was very unfamiliar to him.

"I have confirmed that the Nanshan Auto Parts Factory is a parts company in Yangcheng and is not a supplier within our system."

"But it is said that they supply to OEMs such as Modu Volkswagen and Spring City Volkswagen."

Before the report, Yu Xing had obviously done some preparation work.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if you don’t know everything you ask.

"How did they become a supplier to American General Motors?"

"Apart from CITIC Dicastal and Fuyao Glass, this is the first time I've heard of a domestic parts company exporting parts to General Motors."

China's automobile industry, especially in terms of passenger car parts, is really weak.

It basically has no fighting capacity internationally.

It wasn't until more than 20 years later that there was a slight change.

There have been some breakthroughs in new energy and new energy three-electric parts.

"We are still learning about this situation, but based on the information confirmed so far, they are a nut plate supplier for American General Motors. This matter is consistent with the facts."

Yu Xing felt that he had to find a way to contact Nanshan Auto Parts Factory, or even go there directly.

Otherwise, there will be many questions later, and I probably won’t be able to answer them.

"Since the other party is a supplier of General Motors of America, he must also want to become a supplier of General Motors of Magic City."

"Go and confirm and see who in the purchasing department has had contact with Nanshan Auto Parts Factory before."

Wang Huiliang's speculation is obviously very reasonable.

Soon, it was confirmed that employees from the parts procurement department of Nanshan Auto Parts Factory came to visit last year.

It's just that the original Nanshan Auto Parts Factory didn't have anything special to brag about.

In this way, it is naturally impossible to enter the universal supply system of Magic City so smoothly.

But no one expected that things would turn out like this.

"Yu Xing, please hand over the work at hand. Starting tomorrow, you will be rotated to the parts procurement department."

"During this period, you didn't do anything else but just figured out the nut plate thing."

"Report the background and process clearly to the group leaders, and then immediately introduce the Nanshan Auto Parts Factory into our supply system as quickly as possible."

"This nut plate can no longer be imported from the United States."

Wang Huiliang made a decision quickly.

Modu General bought back the nut plate produced in China from the United States. If no one knows about it, then forget it.

Now that the commotion has started, it is natural to stop such behavior immediately.

Otherwise, someone might accuse Wang Huiliang of losing state-owned assets during the next review.

After all, the price of nut plates purchased directly from Nanshan Auto Parts Factory by Modu General Motors is definitely cheaper than imported ones.

Wang Huiliang wouldn't believe it if the cost didn't double due to various tariffs, shipping costs, and the management fees of American General Motors, which was the bulk company.

"Mr. Wang, how about we organize people from the technical department to go to Nanshan Auto Parts Factory to inspect it and see if they can meet our audit requirements?"

Yu Xing felt that things that should be done in the process had to be done, otherwise this project would have been picked out as a focus, and if something went wrong later, he would feel uncomfortable.

"Of course the inspection is to inspect, but it is not to inspect whether Nanshan meets our requirements."

"It's being used by Universal Headquarters. Is it possible that we can come to the conclusion that Universal Headquarters can't use it?"
