Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

In 2014, the automobile industry changed from the decline of previous years, and the entire industry once again ushered in rapid development.

There are endless news reports about various OEMs building new factories and various suppliers building new factories.

This has allowed various equipment manufacturers to reap a wave of dividends.

"Mr. Cao, our new factory will officially go into production next week. Are you free to come over and give us some guidance?"

Zhang Sheng, the general manager of Ji'er Machine Tool Factory, and Cao Yang are old acquaintances, and they communicate directly on the phone on many matters.

In recent years, Ji Er Machine Tool Factory has followed the pace of Nanshan Equipment and has continued to grow and develop. Now it is second only to Nanshan Equipment in the domestic stamping industry and other machine tool equipment fields.

The various incidents in which machine tool giants such as Yamazaki Mazak and Deutsche Simm bullied domestic users can basically no longer be found.

That kind of software you spend a lot of money to buy, but you don’t know how to use it, and people deliberately jam you.

There are also operations such as the device being locked after being moved, which is becoming increasingly rare now.

The most critical thing is that there are fewer and fewer companies importing machine tools from abroad.

In the past, China had to spend a lot of foreign exchange to import machine tools and equipment from Japan, Germany and other places every year. Now the foreign exchange funds saved in this area are more than 100 billion US dollars every year.

Here, companies such as Nanshan Equipment and Ji'er Machine Tool Factory have naturally made great contributions.

Domestic manufacturers have begun to accept domestic equipment, and the capacity utilization rates of related equipment manufacturers have naturally soared rapidly.

At the beginning, the factory area of ​​Ji'er Machine Tool Factory was very large, and a lot of construction land was reserved.

Now that everything is almost used, we started to consider building a new modern factory.

Cao Yang is also very supportive of this.

Because during the construction process of this new factory, many of the equipment imported were produced by Nanshan Equipment.

"The commissioning of Ji'er New Factory is a major event for our machine tool industry in China, and I will definitely come to participate."

Although Cao Yang is very busy, he still needs to go to some activities that should be attended.

In this new factory of Ji Er Machine Tool Factory, 80% of the various equipment were purchased from Nanshan Equipment.

After all, although Jier produces machine tool equipment, the equipment needed for production and assembly equipment is not their area of ​​expertise.

Products such as various control systems and robots are not produced by Ji Er himself.

So to a certain extent, the new factory of Ji'er Machine Tool Factory can be regarded as a demonstration project of Nanshan Equipment.

At that time, you can take it out and introduce it carefully, so that other customers can also consider purchasing the entire factory production line from Nanshan Equipment.

This kind of "turnkey" project is definitely very attractive to some customers who are not short of money.

For example, some new car-making forces have just entered the automobile industry, and the company's employees come from all over the world and are recruited from various places.

The abilities of these people actually need to be observed.

If they were directly asked to be responsible for the construction of the new factory, something might go wrong.

At this time, if all the complete sets of equipment are handed over to Nanshan Equipment, things will be much simpler.

This is not the first time Nanshan Equipment has done a similar project, and its reputation in the industry is still good.

Overall, if it is left to Nanshan Equipment, the final cost will probably be lower.

After all, Nanshan Equipment already has its own fixed industrial chain and suppliers. The equipment it can produce will be made by itself, and the equipment that cannot be produced will be left to cooperative suppliers.

In the end, the cost is lower than Party A finding suppliers to supply equipment one by one.

"Mr. Cao, Nanshan Equipment is now the largest equipment manufacturer in the world."

"From now on, our new factory's orders will depend on you."

Although a small part of the products of Ji'er Machine Tool Factory overlap with Nanshan Equipment, they are considered competitors.

But more often than not, the cooperative relationship between them is very close.

For example, in automobile factory construction projects, stamping workshops generally use TDM presses to form stamping lines. This type of equipment is what Jier is good at, and Nanshan Equipment is basically not involved here.

In the past, it was not the first time that Nanshan Equipment obtained the entire factory project and then handed over the stamping equipment to Ji Er for production.

That's why Zhang Sheng said such words.

"Today's presses are all transforming into servo presses. If Ji Er can keep up with the pace in this regard, there is actually no need to worry about orders."

"The quotations from Japanese and German stamping equipment manufacturers are still too high."

"Most of the new factories being built now are customers from countries with less developed economies, and their price sensitivity is still relatively high."

"At the same time, everyone still has a relatively high pursuit of technological advancement."

"This somewhat contradictory demand is most suitable for our Chinese equipment manufacturers to deal with."

Cao Yang is as optimistic about the equipment industry as ever.

Whether it is the United States, China, or Tianzhu and Africa, everyone will continue to realize that industry is actually very important.

Therefore, support for industry will only be strengthened, not weakened.

To develop industry, various machine tools are absolutely inevitable.

Zhang Sheng naturally recognized Cao Yang's reminder.

However, with Ji'er Machine Tool Factory and Nanshan Equipment constantly expanding their production capacity, other manufacturers are having a hard time.

For example, Schuler, which plays a decisive role in the global stamping equipment industry, is now almost unable to survive in the Chinese market.

"Lucas, now even the suppliers of Spring City Volkswagen and Modou Volkswagen are using a large number of presses produced by Ji'er and Nanshan Equipment. If the headquarters does not give us more authority, Schuler's life in China will be very difficult in the future. ”

As one of the earliest employees of Schuler China, Xu Dacheng is now regarded as a bitter daughter-in-law and a mother-in-law, and has become the sales director of Schuler China.

Lucas, his original boss, is now the general manager of Schuler China.

Therefore, the relationship between the two of them is very close, and they can communicate about anything in private.

You can even chat casually about which of the girls yesterday was more beautiful and which scene you want to change next time.

"The headquarters has already put part of the stamping equipment for production in China, and even some of the more critical parts have been purchased in China."

“What kind of greater authority do you think is needed?”

Lucas frowned and looked at Xu Dacheng, feeling a little at a loss of ideas.

As the world's largest stamping equipment solution provider, Schuler had a very good life.

But in the past ten years, the situation has gone from bad to worse.

Now they can no longer even maintain their top three positions in China.

The key is that the market share of the first and second players is higher than that of all other manufacturers combined.
