"Mr. Bu Defan, Dr. Hassan, and Gong Li, thank you all for your hard work today!"

"Welcome to come to our factory for guidance and guidance in the future!"

"This is a local specialty of Yangcheng. Please try it."

The inspection team from Modu Volkswagen arrived this morning and will go to another supplier tomorrow morning.

So after dinner, this inspection is over.

"Director, this test of Shanghai Volkswagen has been passed. The VDA review was not so stressful before. Now I can breathe a sigh of relief."

Seeing Bu Defan and the others getting into the taxi, Zeng Tingting breathed a sigh of relief.

During this period, her mood was ups and downs.

After a while, the factory audit was cancelled, and the order was gone.

After a while, the orders came back and increased.

This happens over and over again, and my little heart can't bear it.

Especially the nut plates produced in the previous factory would crack no matter how the molds were modified.

Fortunately, the young boss suddenly came up with a brand new design process and designed the PRG mold.

Although after adopting a new process, the mold needs to be reopened.

All the mold costs previously invested were wiped out in one fell swoop.

But it’s better than waiting to die, right?

Now parts are being mass-produced smoothly, and there are still opportunities for export...

Thinking about it this way is even more exciting than losing weight successfully.

"Why are you so relieved? The factory needs to buy a few more stamping machines as soon as possible. We have to prepare for expansion. It would be a pity if orders come by then and we can't take them."

Although Nanshan Parts Factory has dozens of stamping machines, most of them are relatively old, and only two newly purchased Schuler presses are more powerful.

It is naturally enough to correspond to the current production of nut plates for Jetta and Santana.

But if it is to be exported, it is completely inadequate.

"Ah? Want to buy equipment again?"

"I have no money."

Zeng Tingting felt a lot of pressure.

After the finance minister escaped with the money, she, the secretary to the general manager, is now also in charge of the company's finances.

"Pledge these two pieces of equipment to the bank to pay the deposit for the equipment. By the time the equipment is delivered, the payment from Spring City Stamping has already been paid on a monthly basis."

"At that time, we will take the Spring City stamping order and go to the bank, and we should be able to get some loan."

When Cao Yang said this, Zeng Tingting became even more stressed.

Another loan?

Need more leverage?

If you're not careful, the factory will really go bankrupt.

"If you just buy a press, it won't be so troublesome, right?"

"One? Who said we only need one? Buy at least three more. And you must buy a stamping machine suitable for the PRG process to increase our production capacity."

"The output of Santana and Jetta is so much. Even if we really make all the nut plates, we don't need so many stamping machines, right?"

"We only supply Santana and Jetta, so naturally we don't need them. But Volkswagen and Springfield also have other models. And domestic GM and Peugeot Citroën also have localization needs for nut plates. Besides, Bu Defan

Didn’t Hassan and Hassan say that we would recommend our nut plates to Volkswagen headquarters so that they can be used in all Volkswagen models around the world?”

"It took us more than a year to enter the supply system of Modu Volkswagen, and in the end we were still supplying goods as a second-tier supplier. How could we enter other manufacturers so quickly in this short period of time. As for Bu Defan and the others

We can’t take it too seriously. So far, I haven’t heard that Volkswagen imports parts from China.”

Zeng Tingting obviously didn't want to be so radical.

She was really thinking about the factory, so she was not afraid of making the factory manager unhappy with her words.

"Volkswagen's global situation is not as optimistic as you think. Although Volkswagen's two joint ventures are now the largest car companies in China, internationally, they have General Motors, Ford, and Toyota in front of them, and behind them are Nissan and

Honda is chasing me, so I’m under a lot of pressure.”

"Lower cost and better quality. Who wouldn't like such parts?"

Unlike most people of this era, Cao Yang knows a lot more about international situations.

Just like when Volkswagen came to build a factory in China, it seemed that it was optimistic about the Chinese market.

Yes, this is definitely a very important reason.

In fact, another reason is that Volkswagen's global situation at that time was very pessimistic, and it was eager to open up the situation elsewhere and save the company's stock price.

"Director, it doesn't matter even if Deutsche Volkswagen really comes to us to buy parts. We can wait until this information is confirmed before taking action."

"Be prepared for a rainy day. If you want to develop, you will naturally have to take some risks. You should quickly arrange for someone to contact you to see which stamping machine can be delivered as soon as possible."

Cao Yang is the boss, and Zeng Tingting will definitely not be able to twist her thigh with her arms in the end.

So she didn't worry about it anymore.

"By the way, factory director, haven't you learned much about mold design before? How come you are better than the most skilled engineers in the factory this time?"

The factory has now overcome the difficulties, and Zeng Tingting finally began to be curious about things that Cao Yang didn't want to answer.

Mold design requires experience accumulation.

Especially the stamping parts made by Nanshan Auto Parts Factory are all made using TDM process, and no one knows PRG at all.

After all, PRG mold design is difficult, costly and requires high equipment.

Although the work efficiency is also high, in the eyes of most people, if you can use the TDM process, you don't need PRG.

Anyway, Huaxia's labor is very cheap. With several stamping machines connected in a line, the production cost using the TDM process is not high.

"Oh, Xiao Zeng, your boss is a genius. He learned it by reading books and studying on his own."

"By the way, we are already supplying goods to Volkswagen in Magic City and Spring City, but we have not yet entered Yangcheng Honda, which is right in front of us. Please make arrangements quickly and let's go visit their procurement."

Cao Yang said something casually and decisively changed the topic.

Sure enough, after hearing what her boss said, Zeng Tingting's attention immediately shifted.

Yangcheng Honda is the dark horse in China’s auto market this year.

Although the overall output is not as good as that of Modu Volkswagen and Spring City Volkswagen, if Nanshan Stamping Plant does not even supply Yangcheng Honda, it will be a bit embarrassing for people to ask when making introductions to other OEMs in the future.

"Before the establishment of Yangcheng Honda, Minister Zhang should have been in contact with the people from Yangcheng Peugeot. The old factory director took him to visit several times. I will talk to Minister Zhang later and I should be able to contact them."

It is thought that three more stamping machines will arrive in a few months. If the production capacity is vacant by then, the Nanshan Auto Parts Factory, which has finally improved, may be in trouble again.

Therefore, Zeng Tingting also hopes that the factory can get more orders.
