Chapter 207: Korean Ambition (Add One More for Three Plus One Birthday)
Then he threw the report in his hand to the side, with a little smug on his face: "I'll just say that the Japanese side's attitude towards us has been hot and cold recently, and it turns out that they have put the treasure on China, and the result is ...... Hehe......"
Park Jiushuang didn't finish his words, but the last smile fully expressed his state of mind.
Just over half a month ago, Japan suddenly requested the termination of cooperation with the whole stepper provided by South Korea's Yuhang Group, on the grounds that the quality of their whole step meter was problematic.
At that time, Park Jiushuang, who was in charge of the Japanese market, was very nervous, knowing that South Korea has made great progress in the field of shipbuilding industry in recent years, but in real terms, its profits and technology are far inferior to Japan's, in other words, at best, it can only pick up Japan's remaining orders to do.
On the surface, it is glamorous, but in fact, only Koreans know the suffering.
Therefore, the South Korean government discussed with several major chaebols, and felt that it was not possible to go on like this, and it was necessary to improve the technical added value and product competitiveness of the shipbuilding industry, especially in terms of core equipment, and should create its own brand, which could not only improve the localization rate of the shipbuilding industry and reduce operating costs.
In addition to shipbuilding, new profit growth points can also be created, and in the long run, mastering the core technology of key equipment can also improve the competitiveness of the Korean shipbuilding industry.
Imagine that at the bidding site of a key ship, a shipyard without the core technology of key equipment cannot compete with a Korean company with core technology in any case, the reason is very simple, even some equipment of that shipyard needs to be imported from South Korea, how do you let them fight?
Therefore, the South Korean government and several large chaebols quickly reached a consensus and began to import a large number of advanced technologies from Europe and the United States, which had shifted the shipbuilding industry due to rising costs, at any cost.
The efficiency, the intensity, and the demand are simply jaw-dropping.
As a result, a high-power marine diesel engine plant bought from Germany was built, a large crankshaft production line was built from the Netherlands, and the smelting technology obtained from the United States at any cost was also used.
In just a few years, South Korea has gradually improved the upstream and downstream industrial chain of the shipbuilding industry from scratch, and has formed a shipbuilding industry cluster with unique Korean characteristics.
Driven by it, it has become an important pillar of South Korea's economic take-off.
By the mid-80s, South Korea had surpassed Europe and the United States to become the world's second largest shipbuilding country, and could compete with Japan, the world's largest shipbuilding country, in some ship types.
Because of this, South Korea is no longer satisfied with its own industrial chain and only makes a small fuss at home, but also wants to go out and nibble on a piece of meat in the vast international market.
This can not only enhance South Korea's influence, but also occupy a part of the shipbuilding market under the penetration of supporting equipment, and stabilize the established share of South Korea's shipbuilding industry.
As a result, South Korea's shipbuilding supporting enterprises took advantage of the weak shipbuilding industry in Europe and the United States and the rising cost of Japan's shipbuilding industry to attack aggressively.
Not to mention that these supporting enterprises of South Korean ships have really seized a lot of markets, and Yuhang Group is in this context to rush out of South Korea and kill Japan.
Not to mention, Park Jiushuang sees it quite accurately, he thinks he can't do Japan with the high-end stepper, but the low-end will definitely get a piece of the pie by virtue of the price advantage.
Soon he set his goal on the Japanese shipping list with low added value, and immediately found the right way, and successfully reached an agreement of intent to produce 5,000 whole step instruments per year.
Just when Park Jiushuang was about to sign a formal contract with Japan, the Japanese side suddenly told him that the quality of South Korea's whole stepper was not good and was ready to terminate the cooperation.
This made Park Jiushuang almost not scared out of cerebral hemorrhage, you must know that the whole step meter project has always been an important basis for his promotion to general manager, if Japan terminates the cooperation, not only his dream of general manager will be shattered, but the group leadership will also hold him accountable for huge losses.
You must know that the introduction of the whole step instrument from Europe is undertaken by Park Jiushuang, the reason why I fancy this equipment, firstly, it is not difficult, and secondly, the small size of Yuhang Group is also suitable, as for the third, that is, South Korea has not yet formed a scale in this kind of small marine instrument, and they Yuhang Group is profitable.
Therefore, Pu Jiushuang bought part of the technology of the whole stepper and the production line at any cost, thinking of making a lot of money in China with his unique advantages.
But I didn't think that General Motors and Samsung had jointly opened an electrical equipment factory, which included the production of a whole step meter, and two behemoths were placed there, where did Yuhang Group compete, so it naturally set its sights overseas.
Therefore, no matter what, Park Jiushuang can't lose orders from Japan, and there is no way that he has a lot of common problems with the South Korean president, especially when trading step meter technology and production lines in Europe.
If he gets the whole stepper project right, everything will be fine, and if he doesn't do it well, he will also have to go through the fate of those previous South Korean presidents.
Because of this, the notice of the Japanese side caused a lot of pressure on Park Jiushuang, but how to say that Park Jiushuang is also an old driver of the ups and downs of the business sea, despite the pressure, but still made the most favorable arrangement, that is, to maintain communication with the Japanese side, and timely reduce the price of the whole step meter by another percent, and arrange manpower to investigate the reason for the change in the attitude of the Japanese side.
I have to say that Park Jiushuang's response was very effective, and the Japanese partner who received the new offer quickly replied that he was willing to continue to cooperate with the South Korean side, and he also found out the main reason for the Japanese side to change its attitude, that is, China.
"It seems that the Japanese just want to push the price down a little more, just like I thought before!"
Although he knew that Japan had intended to buy a stepper from China, Park Jiushuang did not look worried at all, because his control of the Japanese people has been extremely accurate, reducing prices, reducing costs, and earning more profits.
As long as he can occupy the Japanese market, let alone reduce the price, it is no problem to lose money, if he does not use some extraordinary means in international competition, how can he let the industrial products of the Korean nation rush out of Asia, go to the world, run out of the earth, and spread to the whole universe?
So Pu Jiushuang is not afraid of price reductions at all, as for China, to be honest, he really didn't pay attention to it, how could a country that inherited the Soviet-style industrial style make equipment as industrial as Europe?
However, the small actions of the Japanese also reminded him that the Japanese market is large, and China's is not small, if you take this opportunity to kill it, not to mention the domestic Samsung, even the ten thousand stars in the universe can not stop the rise of Yuhang Group.
So Pu Jiushuang thought about it, and finally instructed Jin Jingwang in front of him: "You will go to China in the next two days to see if there is a manufacturer of relevant equipment, if the potential is good and suitable, we will cooperate with them and let them produce our Yuhang products, remember, we must roll out our products in China in a short period of time, understand?"
Jin Jingwang hurriedly nodded: "Understood, Smecta!"
