Chapter 447: Sensitive Technology

In the past few days, Hongxin Group has been responding to the EU's latest machinery treaty to make emergency measures, and the international community has also introduced relevant measures.

The first reaction was the United States, and three days later, the U.S. Department of Commerce issued a new policy. As many as 405 types of industrial technologies and equipment are classified as sensitive and prohibited from being sold to the outside world.

For example, island countries and other developed countries that have mastered precision industrial manufacturing technology have also made some changes accordingly, for a time, China's domestic precision industrial equipment, automobile industry imported spare parts began to rise in price to varying degrees, and some began to fall into shortage.

Some industrial enterprises in China and the automobile industry are complaining, their production costs will inevitably increase, and the competitiveness of enterprises and products will naturally decline.

Pengyun Automobile has been more affected, and the auto products that are already in short supply are directly facing the crisis of discontinuation!

Robert Bosch GmbH, Stuttgart, Germany. It is one of the world's top precision mechanical and electrical engineering companies, and it is also the world's number one auto parts supplier.

Meng Ziping, a business representative from Huaxia Pengyun Automobile Group, and several colleagues are visiting Bosch's headquarters and discussing the latest auto parts supply cooperation.

In the automated factory, complex and sophisticated industrial robots and instruments are working in an orderly manner.

"Our machines can accurately measure parts to the nanometer level, and the quality of all parts is of the highest standard in the world!" said Fran, a Bosch executive.

In terms of precision manufacturing, their technology is more than ten years ahead of Chinese enterprises, and every time Chinese entrepreneurs visit Bosch, they will be amazed.

Meng Ziping is no exception, he has been working in the automotive industry for nearly a decade, and before coming to Pengyun Automobile, he was the vice president of a Sino-foreign joint venture auto parts company.

Their industrial level is nothing compared to the Bosch Group, and it is not worth mentioning! Even the precision of one millimeter is a huge technical obstacle in industrial manufacturing!

Moreover, there is no such a powerful CNC system in China, which can support systematic industrial production and manufacturing.

"It's amazing indeed. Mencius sighed with emotion, and as he spoke, the smartphone he carried with him had already translated his words into German.

"Mr. Fran, we have always been very impressed with your products. You are the largest auto parts supplier of Pengyun Automobile in Germany, and I came to Germany this time to re-determine the supply relationship between us. ”

Fran kept smiling and said, "We are happy to provide the best products for our friends in Huaxia." ”

That being said, when it comes to specific matters, the Bosch Group has not retreated.

"We're sorry, but due to the ban, we can't license these 'sensitive' technologies. But we can guarantee that the product is still open to you! just in terms of price, some adjustments need to be made. "The attitude of the German side is very simple, the technology is no longer open, but they are very happy to sell products to make money.

"The price increase rate has reached more than 10 percent, and with the relevant tariff adjustment of the European Union, such a price is unacceptable to us!" Mencius argued.

The German negotiator shrugged his shoulders and said, "Mr. Meng, this is not a problem that my small negotiator can solve. This is a decision of the European Commission and regulations have been issued. We have to abide by it!"

......

Huaxia, Pengyun Automobile headquarters, one after another unfavorable news came.

"Germany's Bosch Group refused five technical supports, and the price of parts and components increased by 12 percent. ”

"Johnson Controls' spare parts supply plan is 14.8 percent higher than our budget!"

"Faurecia France has adjusted the three parts it has supplied to sensitive products and will stop supplying us in the short term. ”

"The suppliers of the island countries are not very satisfied, and their asking prices are also not low. ”

The impact of this negative news is not limited to this, but also provokes a stronger reaction in the industrial and automotive industries.

News has come out in the automotive industry that from next month, some domestic cars will be affected and begin to increase prices, and the cost performance will be reduced compared with foreign cars.

The most affected is Pengyun Automobile, Pengyun Automobile 4S stores around the country have almost stopped booking new cars, inventory has been decreasing, and production capacity is decreasing.

This made many users start to complain and question the production capacity of Pengyun Automobile.

And some experts and media in the automotive industry have also begun to speak out, calling Pengyun Automobile.

Voice of the car media: "Recently, less than two months of Pengyun fully self-driving cars have not reached the peak of Waterloo, it is reported that affected by the European Union, the United States, island countries and other latest automotive regulations, Pengyun automobile's parts suppliers have increased prices or out of stock. ”

According to the survey, since the beginning of this month, half of Pengyun Auto dealers have suspended new car reservations, which will greatly hit the enthusiasm of consumers and the production and supply of Pengyun Automobile. ”

Experts also analyzed: "Starting from the current form of the automobile industry, Pengyun Automobile has only two ways, one is to increase prices, and completely turn Pengyun Automobile into a luxury car, which is out of the consumption level of the general public." ”

"The second is to replace suppliers and low-end parts, which will undoubtedly lead to the performance of the car, the grade is reduced, according to this speculation, Pengyun Automobile is likely to come out of a new low-end car to deal with the crisis. ”

......

The results of such an analysis also reached Lu Zixin's desk. In the face of established facts, Pengyun Automobile can only actively change. After all, they can't force someone to lower the price or provide technical support.

"Mr. Lu, there are several new technologies and products, which are almost used by Pengyun Automobile among the domestic automobile brands in China. But every item in this is listed as a sensitive technology and product!" Jiang Xunmei said in a rather indignant tone, the company had just walked towards the road to the road when it encountered obstacles, and it was so domineering and arrogant, which made her feel unfair.

In her previous career, she had never encountered or heard of a company that was seen as a threat by those developed countries, and that regulations were set to restrain it.

Lu Zixin smiled, and said a little proudly: "I can't imagine that our Hongxin Group already has such an influence now!"

Jiang Xunmei couldn't understand his thinking, isn't this bad news? First of all, Pengyun automobile dealers everywhere are asking the headquarters every day when they will be able to supply. And the headquarters is also considering how to adjust the supply chain to minimize its losses.

One thing is for sure, car companies will definitely be greatly negatively affected.
