Chapter 401: Five and Wheels
To be honest, Zhang Xiaofan's small figure, if it is really to promote this matter.
Maybe in the end, there is really no place to die.
Do it silently in private, slowly influence, slowly advance, others are still too lazy to care about you.
But once it rises to the political level, the stakes are not something that Zhang Xiaofan can bear.
A paint industry, with tens of millions of employees and tens of trillions of sales a year, how big a market and how much profit it has to be.
What oil-to-powder are you pushing forward with now?
Can you imagine what your results will be?
Let's not talk about whether your powder paint can replace the paint, even if it can replace it, you can't do it.
How many people will be involved in this? How many people's jobs will be involved, it is simply impossible to measure.
How many people in the upstream and downstream of the paint industry will oppose it?
So Qin Wei'an decisively rejected Zhang Xiaofan's proposal, what kind of joke, even if he waited for 20 years, he couldn't carry this banner.
In fact, Zhang Xiaofan never wanted to achieve it overnight, but just wanted a starting point, a starting point for oil to powder.
Or rather, he wanted a formal identity.
From the information searched in memory, it can be understood that after 30 years, there is a change of powder, and it is still less than 10%.
30 years later, there has actually been a big breakthrough in technology.
Not to mention that all the games were changed to powder coatings, but most of the paint reforms are no problem at any time.
But it is very difficult to move forward.
There are even many people who are blocking this matter, not only at home, but also abroad.
Now Zhang Xiaofan's ambition is actually too big.
At first, I made up my mind that absolutely no oil was involved, only powder coatings.
Therefore, if you want the company to grow exponentially, you must compress the production space of oil-based coatings.
Because spraying oil-based paint is much easier than powder coating.
The equipment is much simpler, there are a lot of them, and they don't even need to be baked, although the anti-rust effect is much worse, but the investment is low and the results are fast.
Hearing Qin Wei'an's refusal, although Zhang Xiaofan felt a little disappointed, it was also in his expectation.
It seems that you can only rely on your own strength and slowly eat away at the living space of oil-based paint step by step.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaofan's first step should be not wrong, relying on the automotive industry.
The automotive industry can be said to be a strategic point for oil-based coatings, and the industry's relatively high profits.
Of course, compared with special oil-based coatings such as marine aviation and automotive paint industry, the profit is still much lower, not even less than 10%.
But one thing is really important, because the automotive industry is a fast-moving consumer goods industry, and the volume is very large, compared to marine aviation, the automotive paint industry, the volume is huge.
It is the largest source of profit for many large paint groups.
For the automotive topcoat industry, now we find that this side is being studied, only the results are not known for the time being!
But now there is an entry point, the car wheel.
As long as the vast majority of automobile wheels in the world use powder coatings, then at this time, automotive topcoats, naturally, many companies will use powder coatings.
When the performance of powder coating is recognized by many automobile companies, they will try to use what paint as a topcoat.
The research is continuing, and time is slowly moving back.
The cooperation between BMW and Fangnan Wheel has become deeper and deeper.
Now not only the first series, but also the third series and the fifth series have been purchasing Fangnan wheel products in an all-round way.
This is what Zhang Xiaofan is willing to see, as long as the cooperation between Fangnan Wheel and BMW is getting deeper and deeper, then Zhang Xiaofan can ask Xiong Wenbin to introduce the senior management of BMW, so that Zhang Xiaofan has the opportunity to get in touch with the car topcoat.
Here I have to say another company five and wheels.
As soon as the Olympic Games ended, Zhang Xiaofan received very good news.
The purchase volume of Wuhe wheels suddenly rose by 50%.
This proves that they must have a large contract at the moment, which is half of their current production.
Otherwise, it would not have suddenly increased the purchase of powder coatings by 50%.
Zhang Xiaofan also asked Deng Xiaoni to investigate what caused their order volume to suddenly increase so much.
Wuhe Wheel is located in the northern land, which has always been a place where heavy industry is concentrated.
So the first state-owned automobile enterprise in China was born.
Wuhe Wheels is a supplier of wheels for this automobile company, which is now more and more automobile companies have become more and more strict in terms of cost control.
Therefore, now the living space of Wuhe wheels is getting narrower and narrower, and their high cost is compared with the low sales price.
Let Wuhe Wheel's profits become thinner and thinner, resulting in their orders being compressed and reduced step by step.
Deng Xiaoni came to Wuhe Wheel, and the person who received her was actually their general manager, Liang Jun.
"Welcome Mr. Deng, when you come to Shencheng, you must stay here for a few more days, so that we can fulfill the friendship of the landlord. ”
"You're so polite, and I also want to enjoy the scenery of Shencheng. ”
"The hotel has been fully arranged. ”
"You're so polite"
Deng Xiaoni was not hypocritical, she followed Liang Jun directly, got in the car and went to the hotel first.
In fact, as a representative of the supplier, Deng Xiaoni should be all self-paid for a business trip like this.
It's just that the people of Wuhe are too polite, and all the hotel and everything is arranged, but for the sales of the cooperation between the two sides, the room price of such a little hotel is not necessarily much.
Or this is an attitude, Wuhe gives Zhimei new materials and sees an attitude.
After the first day of rest, Deng Xiaoni came directly to Wuhe Wheel on the second day, and the reception was still Liang Jun, the chairman of their company, because there was something not in China.
"Do you have plans to expand abroad?"
"Yes, we've been in contact with several car manufacturers, although they are all smaller, less well-known.
But this is also a kind of progress, and the domestic sales pressure is too great, so the development of foreign countries is also a way of thinking. ”
Liang Jun seemed to be very proud when he said it, and they are also the second wheel company in China to go out.
Although it is not as good as Fangnan wheels, it is still a relatively big improvement compared with other wheel companies.
"But in this regard, you are all ahead of our company, and we are still going around in China, and you have taken such a solid step on the road of globalization. ”
"This can't be compared, relying on low price and high quality.
Not at all like your company, your company's products can be said to be unique in China, and even quite excellent in the world.
At least the full-wheel powder coating, you should be the only one in China, and there is no semicolon. ”
