Chapter 53: Lingang Automobile Manufacturing Base

Modu, SAIC Motor Co., Ltd., Lingang Automobile Manufacturing Base.

In order to get the first order of Xinsheng Processing Factory, Du Mingxuan, Li Gucheng and others deliberately came to the magic capital and Lingang Industrial Zone from Huajin City.

"SAIC is one of the few large automobile groups in China, and the Lingang Automobile Manufacturing Base is one of their own brand manufacturing bases, with an annual production scale of more than 200,000 vehicles. If we can become their camshaft and crankshaft supplier, we Xinsheng will be able to climb to the sky in one step!" Li Gucheng said with hope, and this time he prepared sufficient materials to prove how the quality of his products is outstanding.

Du Mingxuan listened to him while looking at the scenery outside the window. Because they didn't have any money, they still rented a business car to use when they came to Modu, and now Du Que is driving.

In the Modu Lingang Industrial Zone, there are not only SAIC's automobile manufacturing bases, but also some other automobile, aerospace or parts factories.

People's factories are countless times higher than Xinsheng in terms of area, appearance and scale.

"Look, that's Tesla's Magic Capital Gigafactory, and the investment alone has reached 50 billion!

Du Mingxuan looked out, is a spacious road and a huge factory area, this super factory area is as much as 860,000 square meters, all kinds of factory buildings are neat, full of industrial science and technology beauty.

In the same way, it also represents the strength and courage of a large enterprise, which is enviable.

"Believe us, we will soon have our own super factory!" Du Mingxuan was full of ambition, with so much valuable knowledge of mechanical science and technology, one day, he will build a more advanced super factory, not just in one place, but all over the world!

"Mr. Du, my old bones can last for twenty or thirty years, I hope to see that day!" Li Gucheng said with a smile.

Soon, they arrived at SAIC's automobile manufacturing base. It is also very magnificent, and there is a reception hall in front of the factory.

"Hello, we made an appointment with Manager Lei, from Xinsheng Parts Processing Factory. Li Gucheng said at the front desk.

"Okay, may I ask who Manager Lei is? The receptionist at the front desk said politely.

"Manager Lei Xu, the R&D technology department. ”

The front desk checked it and said, "Okay, I'll inform Manager Lei now, please go to the reception room to rest first." ”

The group went to the reception room, Du Mingxuan looked at the time, it was two o'clock in the afternoon.

At this moment, in an office in the power system R&D building of the factory, several managers and supervisors are deliberating.

"In order to achieve better performance of this new engine, the quality of key parts such as camshafts and crankshafts must keep up. Preferably this week, we will settle on the supplier. Which one do you think is better?" asked one supervisor.

"I am more optimistic about thyssenkrupp Engine Systems Co., Ltd., which is a German industrial giant, mainly producing automotive engine camshafts and providing camshaft supply for German Volkswagen, Ford, Honda and other enterprises. In terms of quality, it is definitely world-class. ”

"The most important thing is that thyssenkrupp has established a factory in Bincheng, China, which is much cheaper than other foreign suppliers in terms of price and cost. Lei Xu said that he is the business manager who is mainly responsible for the supplier part.

"I think the domestic ones are also good, and the price is cheaper. This significantly reduces our engine manufacturing costs. Another manager said, "For example, Yuzhou Central Shaft Holdings Co., Ltd., their camshaft and crankshaft products are also good." ”

However, some people soon objected, "We have cooperated with Yuzhou central shaft before, and some low-end car engines can indeed use their products." However, this time we plan to make a new generation of car engines, which are more demanding. Domestic parts, the quality is still a little worse. ”

"Camshafts, crankshafts, must rely on precision machining, I suggest or choose a foreign factory, the island country Denso company we have also contacted, the product they have, the price is still under discussion, I think it can be discussed." ”

"No matter which one you choose, it's best for us to decide within half a month. It can't be delayed any longer. "This afternoon, the business representative of thyssenkrupp will visit, and we will meet together." Well, the time is half past two in the afternoon, and it is estimated that it is almost there. ”

"No problem. The crowd agreed.

At this moment, Lei Xu suddenly received a call from the front desk, "Hello Manager Lei, now there are a few people in the reception room who claim to be Xinsheng Parts Processing Factory, saying that they have made an appointment for you to meet this afternoon." ”

"Xinsheng Processing Factory?" Lei Xu couldn't think of for a while, "What are you doing?"

It seems to be a camshaft manufacturing plant. The front desk said.

"Oh. Lei Xu remembered and said, "Let them wait a while, I have something to do now." ”

"Okay. ”

"What Xinsheng parts processing factory? Haven't you heard of this camshaft supplier?"

"Domestic camshaft manufacturers can count them on their fingers, and I haven't heard of this. Another said.

Lei Xu shook his head and said helplessly: "A small nameless factory, I heard that we were looking for a camshaft supplier, so I came over to ask." ”

"I dealt with it casually, but I didn't expect them to really come! I was really speechless, these small factories really don't know how many pounds and taels they have, and they actually want to become our parts suppliers! I haven't heard of it, a little check, this factory used to supply parts for some low-end cars and even three-wheeled motorcycles!"

"Haha! now there's everybody!" everyone laughed.

"I'll find a reason to send them away. Lei Xu said casually, "The negotiation with thyssenkrupp is important, and we will prepare it now." ”

Du Mingxuan and others waited in the reception room for half an hour, and there was no news, so they asked the front desk, and the front desk said that Manager Lei was busy and asked them to continue waiting.

Lei Xu and others were already receiving the business representatives of ThyssenKrupp at this time, a group of six people, one German and five Chinese.

"Jonas is the general manager of our thyssenkrupp plant in Bincheng, China. A representative of thyssenkrupp AG was introduced.

"Hello, welcome to our SAIC Lingang Automobile Knowledge Base. I am the business manager of the factory, Lei Xu. Lei Xu smiled and shook hands with the German.

"Hello, Mr. Lei. "Jonas is more than one meter tall, handsome, and very fluent in Chinese.

"I didn't expect Mr. Jonas to speak Chinese so well. Lei Xu sighed, "It's almost as good as us locals." ”

"Fortunately, I've been in Huaxia for seven years, and I'm familiar with this side. Jonas said.

"That would be great so that we don't have a barrier to communication. "Mr. Jonas, before we start the formal talks, I would like to invite you to visit our exhibition center. ”

"Gladly. ”
