The least valuable thing in the world is probably time.

More than a month later, the test results came out, and Xiong Wenbin was very satisfied.

The performance, including the color, is not much different from the previous paint spraying.

Three fully automatic powder coating lines are already being installed.

It will take about half a month, and it will basically be completed, and then you will only need money to come over and give a technical guidance.

Then you can abandon the outdated paint spraying machine and adopt a brand new, environmentally friendly powder coating line.

This is the first and only powder coated wheel company in the country.

However, there was no splash in the industry, and it felt like a self-amusement of Fang Nan Wheels.

Half a month later, when the first wheel coated by powder coating came out of the assembly line.

Xiong Wenbin solemnly placed this wheel in the company's showcase.

This is not for sale, but there is a very recommended wheel, so it should be placed in the showcase.

Switching from paint spraying to powder coating isn't just about changing the wheel.

There is still a lot of follow-up work.

First of all, you must not hide it from your customers, so after the test results came out, Xiong Wenbin immediately sent a comparison document to all customers of the performance comparison of the wheel with two coatings.

Then there will also be samples, and each customer will send a wheel, just so that they can feel the difference between the two for themselves.

Most customers do not have much resistance to oil to powder, as long as the quality of your product is not much different from the past.

The color above, with the naked eye, is basically impossible to distinguish the degree, and they will not have much opinion.

After several rounds of company-wide meetings, Fangnan Wheel has decided to strive to become a wheel supplier for BMW.

This is a very big thing for the entire Fangnan wheel, and even a thing that determines the future of the company.

So Xiong Wenbin attaches great importance to it, and he has decided to lead the team personally.

On this trip to Germany, Xiong Wenbin had a plan to get nothing before leaving.

After all, a company like them, although it can be said to be famous in China, but when it comes to the entire world industrial system, then it is a small mosquito and a small leg.

There are as many as 10 people in their line, including technicians, including translators, including lawyers.

Originally, according to Zhang Xiaofan's idea, what they should have looked for was a joint venture between BMW and China.

But where did he know that Xiong Wenbin went directly to the BMW headquarters, if Zhang Xiaofan knew, he would definitely be really dumbfounded.

At that time, he didn't mean this, he still meant to refer to the joint venture BMW, as for the German headquarters, Zhang Xiaofan didn't think about it.

But there are some things that are often very different from what people think.

08 was at the height of the world financial crisis, and at this time, many companies were laying off employees and reducing production in order to achieve the purpose of saving costs.

Therefore, at this time, many large automobile manufacturers are trying to reduce the cost of raw material procurement, and the emergence of Fangnan wheels is just in the middle of it.

The degree of success of things made Xiong Wenbin feel like he was in a dream.

After inspecting the performance on the spot, it was found that the performance of the Fangnan wheel hub was very good, and he expressed his willingness to purchase 10,000 pieces.

It is the main wheel of the BMW C-segment series.

When he came back with the contract and sat on the plane, Xiong Wenbin's whole person was like falling into a dream.

"Isn't this too easy?"

Xiong Wenbin said to the lawyer next to him.

"There's nothing wrong with the contract, right?"

"This is a unified standard contract for BMW buyers, and there are not many problems. ”

Xiong Wenbin still trusts this lawyer, and he has not had many accidents over the years.

Since there is no problem with the contract, what is the problem?

"That's how we became BMW's wheel supplier?"

"Wouldn't it be too easy, could it be a trap?"

"Could it be that they will take these 10,000 wheels and then stop using them?"

The people around listened to Xiong Wenbin's series of rhetorical questions, and some people rolled their eyes directly, are you still happy to have business to do?

The contract is well written, Fangnan wheels, as a member of BMW's global supply system.

In the coming year, no less than 300,000 wheels must be supplied per month.

This is the Fangnan wheel, which produces 12% of the annual output.

This is definitely a big customer, and it's not just a big customer, after all, this is one of the most famous car manufacturers in the world, BMW.

How much this will promote the fame of Fang Nan wheels, even a fool can think of it.

In the future, in the domestic wheel industry, it is definitely possible to go sideways.

As soon as BMW's announcement comes out, the entire domestic wheel industry will definitely boil.

Not even just the wheel industry, maybe even the automotive industry should not be dumbfounded.

How high are the quality requirements of BMW's supplier system?

And it is still such a rigid and rigorous German, as such a company's world supply system, it is conceivable that the output will definitely increase rapidly in the future.

There is no doubt about that.

So they now feel that Xiong Wenbing should not think about these things, but should think about how to expand production capacity.

The company's footprint was no longer large enough to handle the growing market, and there was no other land to buy around the company.

Therefore, the establishment of the branch is imminent.

Once BMW's announcement is issued, then it is certain that domestic automobile manufacturers will come over and find out.

Let's take a look at what is so special about this wheel company, which has become BMW's global supply system?

Obviously, that's when it's time to increase your business.

Once the contract is signed, if the production capacity cannot keep up, what a loss to the company.

Just think about it.

And now this Xiong Wenbin is not thinking about these things, but whether the contract they just signed is real?

In black and white, is there any fake?

"Mr. Xiong, should we buy a piece of land?

A plant is under construction, at least three production lines are under construction, and the production capacity will be more than doubled. ”

"Is this necessary?"

"Mr. Xiong, didn't you see the expressions of the group of executives of BMW?

The quality of our company's products is not bad compared to their previous wheel suppliers.

But we have to give them 20% less price, and even BMW, one of the world's most famous car manufacturers, will have a hard time resisting the temptation.

What's more, we use solid powder coating throughout the process, which is another big attraction for their company.

And now we are only supplying a series, and only partially.

In the future, they will definitely increase the purchase volume, and then it will be too late for us to expand the production capacity. ”
