Chapter 120 The first benchmark factory was put into operation

In May 2001, Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd.'s turnover exceeded 80 million.

There is a lively atmosphere throughout the company.

When Cao Yang returned to work in the company, he could clearly feel that the company was changing every day.

"Mr. Cao, you came back just in time. The day after tomorrow is the official opening ceremony of the new factory of Huaqiang Factory. Guo Shuyin has been here several times and wanted to invite you to attend."

Zhang Fugui came to Cao Yang's office immediately.

During this time, he was also very busy.

Nanshan Industrial Park has completed three connections and one leveling work, and civil construction has begun.

Relevant equipment that should be ordered has been ordered, and preparations for self-production are also being studied.

Seeing that part of the factory would be put into production in the first half of next year, he began to worry about orders for the new factory.

After all, no matter how big a factory is built, it cannot survive without the support of orders.

Cao Yang's visit to Ford Motor and General Motors this time must have something to do with the new orders.

Of course, Zhang Fugui would not ask if there were any new orders as soon as he came up.

That makes him, the head of the sales department, too incompetent.

It is up to the general manager to secure any order for you.

Then what else are you doing?

“Didn’t Huaqiang Factory’s new factory start production a few months ago?”

"Why are you still holding a commissioning ceremony now?"

Although Nanshan only holds 30% of the shares of Yangcheng Huaqiang Stamping Factory, Cao Yang is still paying close attention to their development as part of the future car manufacturing layout.

"Huaqiang Factory invested in 150-ton, 300-ton, and 600-ton PRG presses at once, and also installed 1,000-ton and 2,000-ton TRF presses."

"Of course it is impossible for all of these to be installed and debugged at the same time."

"Previously, all PRG presses were put into production. Recently, 1,000-ton and 2,000-ton TRF presses have also been successfully put into production."

"Because TRF presses of this tonnage are still very rare in China, Huaqiang Factory also wants to let more people know their strength through this commissioning ceremony."

"Of course, the district also hopes that they will hold such a commissioning ceremony, so..."

When Zhang Fugui said this, Cao Yang understood.

Just do it.

We just take this opportunity to promote Nanshan's press technology.

It also let Pan Jinxing, the newly arrived deputy general manager and director of the equipment center, know that Nanshan is not without any technical accumulation.

"Just tell Lao Guo and tell me that I will attend the commissioning ceremony on time."

"When the time comes, remember to continue to invite those colleagues from Spring City Stamping and Xifeng Stamping to let them feel the pressure."

…

Yangcheng Honda is now the largest customer of Huaqiang Stamping Factory.

Since none of the stamping factories associated with Honda have had time to set up factories in China, Huaqiang Stamping Factory got a big advantage.

More than 30% of the body parts orders for the new Accord were given to the Huaqiang Factory.

Its rapid development has even affected the speed of investment by Honda-related manufacturers in China.

Until now, only Yangcheng Aiji and Yangcheng Aipak, which are responsible for the production of front and rear longitudinal beams, A-pillars/B-pillars and other parts, and Huaqiang Factory are divided into three parts.

The two Honda-affiliated companies, Aiji and Apex, have only confirmed that they will build factories, and the actual production will not start until next year.

This resulted in localization orders for mass-produced Accord models, and they could not get any of them.

"Li Bu, this is our newly imported TRF equipment. Except for one component on the cowl fender, which cannot be produced, we have the production capacity for other car body skeleton parts."

Speeches from all parties, thanks, reviews, prospects...

The process of the commissioning ceremony is almost the same.

But when it came time to visit the factory, Guo Shuyin personally explained the situation to Yangcheng Honda, a major customer.

The leaders are busy with business and have already left the scene.

As for the friends and businessmen who come to join in the fun, people from the Equipment Center of Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. will be responsible for introducing them.

"Xiao Lu, Fuqiang Factory has introduced such advanced equipment and has the production capacity of various parts. We can give them more opportunities in the future."

As the deputy director of the Purchasing Department of Yangcheng Honda, Li Huarong can be regarded as the top leader of Huaxia in the field of purchasing.

He feels the greatest pressure to increase the localization rate.

Of course, these are all obvious reasons.

In fact, only he knows whether it is because Guo Shuyin has a good relationship with his boss.

"Minister, the main reason is that Huaqiang Factory does not have much production performance in large-scale automobile skeleton parts. The Japanese are relatively rigid. Without performance, core parts such as front and rear longitudinal beams, front and rear wheel covers, etc. are not dared to be made for them."

"After a few months of mass production of this batch of parts, we can make a large number of proposals for the next model to Huaqiang Factory."

As the head of the stamping department, Lu Xiangyang followed Li Huarong in a very low-key manner today.

"The cost of Aiji and Apak should be much higher than that of Huaqiang Factory, right?"

"If we don't give Huaqiang Factory a chance, where will the production performance be?"

“Isn’t this a deadlock of which came first, the chicken or the egg?”

Li Huarong asked this question, Guo Shuyin was happy, but Lu Xiangyang was under great pressure.

"Li Bu, this is also because our Huaqiang factory started late. Previously, we mainly made stamping parts in the field of home appliances. We have relatively little experience in the automotive industry, so your Japanese personnel have little confidence in us."

"But today's Huaqiang factory is different from before. All the new presses we introduced are PRG or TRF presses."

"Whether it is in terms of production efficiency or quality assurance, it is very advantageous."

"If Aiji and Apex have insufficient production capacity in the future, we wouldn't mind being their second-tier supplier."

When Guo Shuyin said this, both Li Huarong and Lu Xiangyang's eyes lit up.

second-tier suppliers?

This doesn't seem to be impossible.

In this way, the Japanese people have nothing to say, and their own task of reducing costs can be better completed.

At the same time, Huaqiang Factory also received more orders.

"This is a good idea. I heard that your molds are produced for you by the Mold Center of Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. Is this mold for sale to the outside world?"

Li Huarong just listened to the investment report on the new Accord tooling (molds, fixtures, inspection tools) a few days ago and is very dissatisfied with the current cost of tooling.

The most important thing is that the molds of Aiji and Apak are almost all imported from Japan.

Although a set of molds can easily cost more than one million yuan.

This price is really exaggerated.

Comparing the quotation from Huaqiang Factory, the cost of the same type of mold is more than half.

Publicly and privately, Li Huarong hopes that all molds can be purchased domestically.

"Bu Li, it just so happens that Mr. Cao from Nanshan is here today. We can ask him directly."

As Guo Shuyin said this, he quickly walked back a few steps and invited Cao Yang over.
