Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 62: Breaking tradition again?

A pot of dieffenbachia grows lushly in the corner of the office.

Even if it doesn't enjoy the sunshine, it still grows very well.

After Cao Yang came to the office in the morning, he took the initiative to water it.

Since the Nanshan Auto Parts Factory got on track, he no longer needs to live in an office every day.

"The reports scheduled by the factory director, equipment center and purchasing and sales department will start soon."

Zeng Tingting was very happy when she saw Cao Yang watering the dieffenbachia.

This pot of evergreen was specially selected and placed there by her.

"How are your contacts regarding personnel recruitment?"

Cao Yang picked up his notepad and pen and walked towards the conference room while talking to Zeng Tingting.

Since he decided to start working on bearings and gears, Cao Yang realized that he could not continue to export technology to the outside world like this.

Otherwise, I would really be dragged away for an autopsy one day.

Establish an independent R&D center and set up a team to study the main parts of the car. No matter what the results are, at least there is a cover.

This effect may not be obvious now, but it will be different in a few years.

"I have contacted Guangzhou University of Technology and Lingnan Vocational and Technical Normal College and will go to their schools to hold a seminar this weekend." After Zeng Tingting finished speaking, she immediately added, "Students of Lingnan University of Technology and Lingnan University don't have to worry about finding jobs now. I feel that very few people are willing to come to our factory, so I won’t make arrangements.”

"There is nothing wrong with your analysis, but job fairs are sometimes not just for recruiting people, they are also a form of publicity."

"Our actual recruitment can focus on Guangzhou University of Technology and Lingnan Vocational and Technical Normal College, but several other Yangcheng universities will also go to hold promotional meetings."

"Just think of it as advertising for our factory."

"We are planning to recruit 200 fresh college students this year, and we may need 2000 in a few years."

"Sooner or later, the situation will change."

Cao Yang had attended a job fair at Lingnan University of Technology before and knew that the current 985 college students still looked down upon Nanshan.

But this does not prevent me from holding seminars.

Nowadays, companies usually only go to colleges and universities to hold seminars in November, unlike in later generations, they can't wait to come as soon as school starts in September.

To some extent, Nanshan Auto Parts Factory is starting to roll up now.

"No problem, I'll contact you later."

"School has just started during this period, and most companies have not yet started campus recruitment. If we want to hold a seminar, the school can easily free up a large lecture hall."

Zeng Tingting said as she pushed open the door of the conference room.

A report related to the future development direction of the equipment center of Nanshan Auto Parts Factory has officially begun.

"Director, so far, one of our presses has been put into use and two are being installed."

“I have been in contact with several potential customers and they are interested in introducing our PRG press, but they obviously still have some concerns.”

"On the one hand, we currently only have a 600-ton PRG press, which is too large for some ordinary small stamping parts."

"If there are a series of products such as 100 tons, 200 tons, 400 tons, etc., then the situation may be a little different."

He Qingquan has officially joined Nanshan Auto Parts Factory after graduation.

Now he is the deputy director of the equipment center.

Today's report is mainly between him and Zhang Fugui.

"The presses we have put into use in our own workshop, except for a few minor failures, everything else is going well so far."

"We have also confirmed the cause of the failure and made improvements in the two newly assembled presses."

"At the current speed, these two presses will be fully assembled and debugged next month."

"If there are no new orders by then, it will easily affect everyone's confidence."

Although He Qingquan is usually dull, he still speaks smoothly when he goes on stage to report on what he is good at.

However, his emotional intelligence is really not high.

This statement is obviously aimed at Zhang Fugui, the sales person in charge.

That is to say, Zhang Fugui knew He Qingquan well and knew that he had no bad intentions.

Otherwise, the leaders of the two departments will definitely have a quarrel.

"Director, we originally wanted to support one of Spring City Stamping, Spring City Fourth Ring Factory, and Xifeng Die Stamping Factory to promote our equipment."

"But judging from the current situation, although there has been a little breakthrough at the Spring City Stamping Factory, it is not particularly ideal."

"These state-owned enterprises still have a disdain for a private enterprise like Nanshan."

"I think we can consider finding a private stamping factory in Yangcheng, and we can provide mold technical support to improve their QCD level."

“But the premise is that all their presses must be purchased from our Nanshan.”

"If everything goes well, we will not only be able to achieve a breakthrough in sales of PRG presses, but we can also start to involve TRF presses and TDM presses."

Zhang Fugui put forward a new plan based on his experience during this period.

"Minister Zhang, if this is the case, why don't we just do it ourselves?"

As soon as Dai Hanbiao, Minister of Production Management, asked this question, other ministers participating in the meeting couldn't help but nodded.

Although the technical content of stamping parts is not particularly high, it was still very innovative in 2000.

The competition in the entire industry is not as fierce as in later generations.

"I have also thought about your question, Minister Dai."

"On the one hand, for stamping parts, which are not very difficult parts, OEMs usually give them to related manufacturers to produce. It is impossible for us in Nanshan to get a large number of orders."

"On the other hand, the company's next development focus is not on stamping parts, but on more difficult parts such as bearings and gears."

"In the words of the factory director, we in Nanshan want to become a supplier that relies on technology to get orders, rather than making stamping parts that are simply cost-effective."

Zhang Fugui observed Cao Yang's reaction as he spoke.

Until now, Cao Yang has not said a word.

"But just like what Zhang Buqian said, stamping parts OEMs like to give production to affiliated manufacturers, and these affiliated manufacturers are generally state-owned enterprises. People don't like Nanshan in their hearts."

"If we find a private enterprise, they might be willing to cooperate with us, but it's useless if we can't get an order."

When Dai Hanbiao said this, everyone couldn't help but nod.

Indeed, it seems that there are currently few private stamping factories that can compare with the scale of state-owned enterprises such as Xifeng Die Stamping and Spring City Fourth Ring Factory.

"Dai Bu, I have a different point of view on this point."

Zhang Fugui looked at Cao Yang's expression again, and then continued: "There is no private enterprise that can survive in this industry without any connections."

"People can't get a large number of orders now. The main reason is not that the OEMs don't give them, but that they are not strong enough."

"Except for some lower brackets, the technical difficulty is low, and they can get orders thanks to their labor cost advantage."

"They can't do the larger parts, not to mention the front longitudinal beams, rear longitudinal beams, front wheel covers, etc., but also the A-pillars, B-pillars, and door sill reinforcements."

"Either the parts are prone to cracking, or the dimensional accuracy is not up to standard."

"The inability to produce qualified parts and achieve true QCD optimization is the reason that restricts these private enterprises from taking orders."

"Otherwise, people have various flexible means to solve the problem of getting orders."

After Zhang Fugui said this, Cao Yang finally said "cough" and was ready to speak.
