Chapter 60: A Visit to Suzuki

Early the next morning, Han Hao and his entourage came to the Suzuki headquarters and found that the bright five-star red flag was flying high in the air, and the Japanese side specially raised the Chinese flag to welcome the guests in order to show respect. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Being able to see the five-star red flag in a foreign country, the Huaxia Factory and his party were in a surging mood, even Han Hao was no exception, and tears almost burst out of their eyes. When I went abroad, I realized how happy it was to have a strong motherland to rely on.

"President Han, thank you for winning glory for us Chinese! Day A himself can raise the five-star red flag to welcome guests, I have seen it once or twice in so many years in Japan A, and the reception is all domestic government officials. I can't imagine that you can enjoy such an honor as an entrepreneur, and you are also a large Suzuki company, which is really amazing. ”

Due to the sudden invitation of the Japanese side, the tour guide Zhang Chao made a cameo appearance as a translator. Seeing that Suzuki Company specially raised the national flag for the Huaxia factory delegation, Zhang Chao couldn't help but say movingly.

"Han Haojun, it's the first time we meet, please give me a lot of advice!"

Osamu Suzuki sent his personal secretary Saburo Fujiwara to receive Han Hao and his party.

"Hello, thank you Suzuki for everything specially prepared for us, especially the five-star red flag I like very much. ”

Han Hao followed the customs of the countryside and bowed 30 degrees in accordance with Japanese etiquette to express his gratitude.

Unexpectedly, Han Hao was so young, and a group of people behind him followed him respectfully, no wonder he was known as the representative of China's future entrepreneurs. Fujiwara Saburo met for the first time and made a preliminary evaluation of Han Hao, he does have the aura to become a big man. Therefore, in terms of being responsible for reception, the Japanese side has taken a more cordial and sincere attitude.

According to the agreed arrangement, Han Hao and his entourage will visit Suzuki's motorcycle factory and walk through the vehicle manufacturing process.

Riding on the bus prepared by the Japanese side, the group came to the Suzuki motorcycle factory.

From a distance, the huge Suzuki logo is printed on the factory office building, and the motorcycle production workshop is adjacent to it. The whole factory does not seem to be large, and it is not even comparable to the modern scale of the Huaxia factory in appearance. But Han Hao knew that the equipment and workers in the Suzuki factory were beyond the reach of the Huaxia factory now.

Walking into the workshop, it was well organized and spotless, and the management of the Suzuki factory achieved the ultimate of 5S. There are a lot of machines inside, there are industrial robots working automatically, and the number of ordinary workers is very small. Starting from the stamping of steel plates, Han Hao and his entourage began to visit the Suzuki factory in accordance with the motorcycle production process. Seeing the novelty of things, or comparing the same processing process faced by the Huaxia factory, the technicians represented by Yu Hang had a frank and open exchange with the Japanese side.

If the Huaxia plant has basically realized semi-automatic and manpower production, the Suzuki plant is fully automated, which is slightly better in terms of production efficiency and scale.

"Fujiwara-kun, can we visit your development and design department? ”

Han Hao didn't forget his original intention, he asked.

"Since the visit itinerary is not arranged, I have to ask for instructions before I can reply, after all, this is a matter of trade secrets, I hope Han Haojun can understand. ”

I have to admit that Ri A himself has inherited the form of the state of etiquette of the Chinese nation in terms of etiquette, and Han Hao and others are like a spring breeze in terms of dealing with people.

China has been humiliated and civil strife for more than 100 years, and Han Hao believes that with the development of China, the country of etiquette will sooner or later return to its former glory.

"Excuse me!"

Watching Fujiwara Saburo walk aside and take out his mobile phone to call for instructions, Han Hao patiently waited for the result.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. We, President Osamu Suzuki, said that it is not easy for you Chinese guests to come to Japan, so we can allow you to visit our design and development department. However, no photographs and records are allowed, only live viewing is allowed, after all, the new products we have developed have not yet been launched. ”

The Japanese side calmly agreed to Han Hao's request, and I didn't expect Suzuki to speak so well this time.

Different from the popular 125CC family motorcycles in China, the current popular motorcycles in Japan are large-displacement motorcycles with a capacity of more than 150CC, with more emphasis on individuality and lifestyle. In short, the Chinese are still using motorcycles as tools, and Day A himself is treating them as toys.

Therefore, in the Suzuki factory, Han Hao saw many motorcycle products like racing sports cars, and the scooters and Suzuki King GS125, which are now popular in China, have been eliminated by the Japanese side, which belongs to the past tense products.

Walking into Suzuki's R&D team, Han Hao really saw how a motorcycle is designed and produced for the first time.

First, from the paper sketch discussion, to the computer drawing of the finished product, and then to the finished prototype made of oil clay. The clay prototype is basically finalized after modification, and the real scene of the clay prototype is scanned to the computer through the 3D scanner, and then the model design is finalized through CAD software.

Then the computer data is connected to the CNC machine tool and directly die-cast ABS plastic parts are formed. The body structure, power system, auxiliary system and body shell are assembled one by one to form the whole vehicle.

After the whole vehicle comes out, it is necessary to carry out wind tunnel tests, and finally the test driver goes to the field to run lap tests, and after a series of data receipts are perfected, a motorcycle can be introduced to the market.

The entire development process, both hardware and software, is of the world's first-class level. Han Hao was very moved when he saw it, thinking about how wonderful it would be to move such a set of things back to China.

"Fujiwara-kun, your Suzuki company has a very high level of technology, and we want to learn from you with an open mind. ”

After reading it, Han Hao expressed his admiration for the Japanese side convincingly, after all, Suzuki has been in the motorcycle field for nearly 50 years.

After a brief lunch, the Huaxia factory visited the Suzuki Museum to learn how Suzuki seized the opportunity to enter the motorcycle industry from a textile machine manufacturer, and then jumped into the automotive field.

Of the four motorcycle giants in Japan, Suzuki, Honda, Yamaha, and Kawasaki, only Suzuki and Honda entered the automotive field and achieved a lot.

Han Hao noticed that Suzuki has invested heavily in technology, and only by mastering core technology can it survive in the fierce market competition.

Suzuki's successful experience gave Han Hao great confidence that Huaxia Factory would also enter the automotive field when the motorcycle gained a firm foothold. Because according to the internationally accepted conversion standards, China's per capita car occupancy is far from reaching the target. As long as China can achieve the goal of a moderately prosperous society, then the automobile will usher in an unusually huge market. Motorcycles are now limited and banned in large cities in China, and the future growth space is limited, and the threshold is not high, and there are too many gamers who enter. Cars are different, the threshold is very high, and there are not many people playing, indicating that there are great opportunities. At this moment, Han Hao officially set the strategic goal of entering the automotive industry, because he firmly believes that China's huge immature market can give him enough room for growth and soil nutrients.

Compared with Toyota and Honda, Suzuki is mainly developing in the field of mini vehicles, and domestic Changan, Changhe, Wuling and other micro-surfaces are basically developed by introducing imitation Suzuki model technology. There is also the Alto model that is popular in the north and south, which is also from Suzuki, and is now the first choice for many people in the country.

The micro noodles and micro cars in the Chinese market are basically monopolized by Suzuki, and it can be seen that Suzuki Shu's strategy of entering the Chinese market early is successful.

In the evening, Han Hao finally met Osamu Suzuki, the head of the Suzuki Group. White hair, not tall, energetic, walking with the wind, his wise eyes seem to be able to see through people's hearts.

"Suzuki-san, thank you for your care today, we are very satisfied with today's visit, and I will always remember your kindness. ”

Han Hao still respects this senior of the Japanese business leader, if it weren't for him, Huaxia Factory and his party would probably only be able to look at the periphery and not see many substantive things.

"Haha, Guo Anjun is a good friend of mine, and he strongly recommended you to me, saying that Han Haojun is China's future young talent. Today I received a call from Fujiwara, saying that you offered to visit our design and development team, and I knew that Guoanjun was right, you are indeed a very discerning young man! Other Chinese came to us to cooperate, more to watch a certain model, but you found our most valuable place. ”

Although Han Hao is young, Suzuki Shu sees a kind of firmness and self-confidence in his eyes, which is a necessary temperament for a successful entrepreneur, which is very similar to his young self.

There was a geisha performance in front of him, and Osamu Suzuki hosted a banquet for Han Hao and his party in a private high-end club. Under the influence of Japanese culture, Han Hao is having informal talks with Osamu Suzuki.

"I'm sorry, but I personally think it's a good idea for you to work with us on a new motorcycle product in China that is suitable for the local market. But since we already have several partners in China, we can't just cooperate with you with technology without regard to their feelings and interests. However, in the future, Suzuki will not rule out other aspects of cooperation with your Huaxia plant. ”

Regarding Han Hao's proposal for technical cooperation, Suzuki Osamu still refused. Now that Suzuki has completed its layout in the southeast and northwest of China, there is no need to worry about market share for the time being. Although he agreed with Han Hao's point of view, the butt decided the head, and he had to ensure that Japanese companies had a technological lead in the Chinese market for a certain period of time. Suzuki will not betray its private agreement with the other three motorcycle companies not to export disruptive technologies to China until at least 2000.

For example, the vehicle development process, hardware, software and manpower training that Huaxia Factory hopes to get, these are the core competitiveness of Japanese companies, and they will not export technology to the outside world for the time being.

"It's a pity, but I can only accept this result. In the past, we in China used to be teachers, but now we must put ourselves in the right frame to be good students, learn from teachers like you, rely on hard work, time, and development, catch up with your pace, and find back the glory and glory that we Chinese once had. ”

Han Hao expressed his disappointment, but he was still full of confidence in the future.

"If our Huaxia plant is ready to enter the automotive industry in the future, can we import the production line of mini cars from you like other manufacturers?"

It seems that Han Haojun is indeed a representative of China's future entrepreneurs, and you are very strategic in looking at the problem. If it's just a production line for a certain model, as long as it's not the latest model, I think we can sit down and negotiate slowly. But as far as I know, it is not easy for you to produce cars in China, and you have to get approval from the government departments. Otherwise, even if I sell you the production line, you won't be able to enter the country and transport it home. ”

Finally, there is a good hope, Han Hao saw that Suzuki was willing to negotiate on the microcar production line, which was not bad. Entering the automotive field is only a strategic goal, when and how to enter is unknown, and Han Hao has not made up his mind in the choice of models.

Whether to choose a micro face or get on the car directly is something he needs to think about.
