094: The general trend
Regarding Fang Tianxing's words, Zhao Tian was noncommittal.
It's just that when Fang Tianxing introduced him as a person who 'understands the law', and compared the internationally used trade regulations and domestic express regulations with the current practice, there was really no conflict, Zhao Tianfang forced himself to believe and decided to do so.
It's just that there is a big pimple in my heart, after all, the imitation behavior from the beginning is not a glorious thing.
Even if it was 'unable to think clearly', Zhao Tian, who had already decided, instructed Lu Xiangfei to carry it out like this first, and inquired about the approximate production time.
In fact, Lu Xiangfei was already prepared, and the answer he told was available at any time.
Moreover, the number of cars produced by the Universe Group alone will not take more than a month to reach the level of complete self-sufficiency.
It's just that the cost of accessories per unit is several times more than that of imported accessories.
Zhao Tian can't manage so much now, he can endure high prices and losses, but it is difficult to accept the humiliation of being slaughtered.
Later, I learned from Fang Tianxing that the first batch of Universe Group from Magna In. Company had a total purchase volume of 100,000 units per single product, and the production department's purchase was based on the current sales estimate.
But I don't want that to happen.
According to the current surplus quantity, the remaining accessories can still support a month's time function.
Zhao Tian, who had a clear idea, directly ordered the purchasing department to completely stop purchasing goods from Magna In. and no longer conduct any business contacts in the future.
The original promise was also presented in advance because of the vexatious efforts of Magna In.
After solving the problem of the production department, Zhao Tian issued an announcement through the official website: Cosmos Group will stop any business dealings with Magna In. from now on, and at the same time, any companies related to Magna In. will also sever any business dealings with Magna In.
In the announcement issued by Zhao Tian, there was no explanation for any reason, but once it was issued, relevant authorities in the industry began to forward and analyze it.
Originally, it was just a sentence from Zhao Tian to vent his anger, but it quickly attracted reports from relevant media.
Interestingly, as if afraid that the Universe Group would not be well-known enough, the official websites of the three major car companies that have confidential ties with the Universe Group also forwarded this 'announcement' soon after.
The heads of the three major car companies behind the scenes began to tell the relevant departments in the company to begin to reduce and gradually cut off business dealings with Magna In., of course, Zhao Tian did not know.
And the reason why the three major companies do this is naturally because of the 'lessons from the past' of the sea market.
The three of them don't know much about Zhao Tian, but they don't know much either, and they happen to know that Zhao Tian is the one who 'does what he says'.
After the purchasing department of the Cosmos Group accepted the first batch of ordered parts, there was indeed no follow-up with Magna In., and the media publicity, the senior management of Magna In. noticed this matter.
Their consistent sales policy to China has been a 'love to buy, not buy' attitude, but with the high-profile announcement of the Universe Group, Magna In.'s business sales to China began to show a certain degree of decline, and the top management paid some attention to it.
However, out of the usual arrogant mentality, most of their high-level people believe that the move of the Universe Group is nothing more than 'coy', according to the previous model, they only need to send some so-called 'high-level' to show up, and after giving the other party a certain 'face', the problem will naturally be solved smoothly.
After all, Chinese people pay attention to 'face'.
In response to the incident caused by the Cosmos Group, the senior management of Magna In. asked its regional vice president of sales in China to contact the senior management of the Cosmos Group to investigate the 'cause' in a formality, and then solve the problem.
The vice president of sales in China got the instructions of the headquarters, and soon found the phone number of the chairman's office of the universe group through insiders, but after calling, the answer was that "the chairman is not available to answer the phone".
With a feeling of frustration and annoyance, the vice president of sales of Mai Company reported the situation to the headquarters.
The response given by the headquarters was, a few more times!
With the mentality of a foreign dog, the vice president of sales of Mai Company actually implemented this instruction seriously, but the final response was still 'not available'.
In desperation, he could only choose to go on a business trip to Huishi in person, meet the person in charge of the Universe Group who had been 'unavailable' for a while, and even decided that after the matter was done, it was inevitable to give the Universe Group more 'small shoes' in the future supply.
It's just that his 'little shoes' are destined to not be given away.
He didn't even enter the gate of the Cosmos Group...
Even the security guard at the gate replied: as long as it is from Magna In., there is no time to arrange it.
The vice president of sales of Mai Company reported the situation with the feeling of being dogged, which finally caused a 'shock' at the top of the headquarters.
At the same time, he expressed regret for the announcement of the "severance of diplomatic relations" issued by the Universe Group, and after a thorough investigation within his own company, he found out the "source of anger" of the Universe Company, which was originally an internal person of the company responsible for supplying the Universe Group in China, and changed the supply price without authorization. Openness' of the principles of trade.
At the same time, he shouted to the Universe Group from the air, hoping that the two of them could release their previous suspicions and get back together.
There was no reaction from the Cosmic Bloc ...
Because at this time, in Zhao Tian's mind, Magna In has completely been reduced to the category of 'distant passers-by' or 'dead people'.
Ignoring it may also be the biggest harm...
However, the incident of Magna In. Company gave Zhao Tian a great wake-up call.
So far, more than 90% of the tens of thousands of spare parts used in the vehicle body need to be 'imported' from outside the company.
Now there is Magna In. in the front, and there will be other companies in the future, as suppliers to arbitrarily change prices.
If the Universe Group has always been in this state of needing imported accessories, then this kind of thing will inevitably happen more and more frequently in the future, and then it will be busy enough.
If we don't solve the problem from the source of accessories, the universe group will face more and more problems in the future automobile business.
The construction of accessories factories is the trend of the times.
