Founded in 1951, Ogiwara Mould Co., Ltd. now has operations in island countries, the United States, Thailand and other places, with more than 2,000 employees.

In the Celestial Empire, Ogiwara and some enterprises in Shanghai jointly opened factories in the form of technology shares, responsible for mold making and the production of stamping parts.

This time, Jiang Hui asked Ogihara to open a factory in the Heavenly Empire, mainly for the purpose of further expanding the market.

Except for Jiang Hui, it is estimated that no one believes that within a few years, the Celestial Empire will become the world's largest automobile market, and continue to widen the gap with the second place.

"Mr. Jiang, the management of Hagiwara should be happy to open a new factory, but what considerations do we have in terms of the location of the factory?" asked Guan Weidong.

In this acquisition, Jiang Hui did not have the idea of replacing Hagiwara's management on a large scale, but was just preparing to send several financial personnel and vice presidents to settle in the company, and after understanding the relevant situation of the company, he slowly learned Hagiwara's technology and experience in molds through the Celestial Empire factory, and it was no problem to toss at that time.

"The first factory is in Wuyang City. Ogiwara's main customers are still island companies, and the three largest automobile factories in the island country have factories in Wuyang, so it is most suitable to build the Celestial Empire factory in Ogiwara."

In fact, there is another reason why Jiang Hui did not say it, that is, the future Guanghui Automobile Jiang Hui is also preparing to be placed in Wuyang City, as a supporting manufacturer of Guanghui Automobile, the factory in Ogiwara must also be built near Wuyang.

Today's automobile factories generally implement a just-in-time production system, also known as JIT.

Just-in-time system is a production mode implemented by Toyota Motor Company in the 60s of the 20th century, after 1973, this method played a prominent role in Toyota's first energy crisis, and then attracted the attention of production enterprises in other countries, and gradually implemented in Japanese-funded enterprises and local enterprises in Europe and the United States.

In the process of popularization and application, the JIT production mode has been continuously developed and improved, which has given wings to the take-off of the automobile industry in the island country and improved the production efficiency. This mode of production has also attracted the attention of the world's industrial circles and is regarded as one of the most ideal and vital new production systems in today's manufacturing industry.

Just-in-time means that the necessary parts are delivered to the production line in the necessary quantities and at the necessary time, and only the parts that are needed, in the required quantities, and only at the exact time they are needed. Therefore, the starting point of the just-in-time production system is to continuously eliminate waste, reduce inventory, and carry out continuous cyclic improvement.

This requires major suppliers to be in close proximity to the OEM, especially for large parts that are difficult to transport. For example, if seats and large body stamping parts are not built near the main engine factory, the transportation problem can be a good crash. It is impossible to say that the production line of the automobile factory will be shut down at both ends in three days.

In the future, as long as you pay more attention, you will find that as long as there is a strike or natural disaster of one supplier, the corresponding automobile factory will have to stop production. Then all the parts factories that are supporting this car factory are affected. Serious production stoppages are followed, and minor production plans need to be adjusted.

"Okay, when we went to Japan, we also arranged for a group of personnel to go to Wuyang to inspect the construction of the factory. Now that most of the island car companies have just entered the Celestial Empire, the competition in the supply system is not very fierce, and Ogibara should still have a lot of opportunities."

"That's true, but it's also a marketing skill that needs to be high enough. I hope that Hagiwara Zaitian Dynasty can ensure that the quality of Japanese products is based on the sales level of private enterprises. Ogiwara's sales department must be dominated by Celestial Empire personnel to facilitate communication with the OEMs."

In China, the sales staff of private enterprises are the most flexible. If a group of island people are allowed to do sales, it is estimated that even if Ogibara enters the supply system of several major car factories, it will be difficult to become bigger and stronger.

Jiang Hui had friends who did procurement in car companies in his previous life, and he was both loving and ruthless for different types of suppliers.

For example, Denso, Bosch, these parts giants, people's technology is very powerful, but the degree of cooperation with price reduction is very poor, and the procurement staff is estimated to be the most annoying to these companies.

As for some pure private enterprises, they are very easy to communicate, and they generally will not be rejected if they have any requirements, but they often have problems in technology and quality.

If there is a company with good technology, excellent quality, good cooperation, and good cost, then it must be able to get the loyalty of the purchasing staff.

Jiang Hui hopes that Hagiwara can become such a company, and it can have a place among domestic Japanese, European and American and independent brand car companies.

……

After the news of Korn Radial's acquisition of the island country of Hagiwara was reported by the island country's media, it caused hidden worries among the island country's media. A Nikkei BP reporter wrote, "If we take into account the globalization of the market and the reduction of costs, there is indeed a helpless factor in the overseas relocation of production bases. However, if we consider the future of the island nations, is the current overseas transfer overdone? ”

However, in any case, after being acquired by Radiant Investment, Hagiwara will gradually shift its focus to the Celestial Empire. The media of the island country just screamed a few times, and Jiang Hui would not lose anything because of this.

After the news of the acquisition was transmitted to the Celestial Empire, automobile commentators generally believed that the acquisition of the island country mold manufacturers by the Celestial Empire was a continuous attempt by the Celestial Empire Company to enter the field of upstream parts and components of vehicle manufacturing, and the Celestial Empire manufacturers are actively carrying out an acquisition offensive against enterprises in developed countries such as island countries with advanced technology and brands, and the offensive is expected to be more fierce in the future.

Ordinary people's attention to this is relatively low, and after a little report by the media such as Du Niang News, this news slowly disappeared into the sea of people.

However, many years later, when we look back at today's acquisition, we will find that this is the first attempt of Guanghui Group to enter the automotive industry, and when Guanghui Automobile becomes the largest car company in the Celestial Empire, and Hagiwara also becomes one of the world's top 100 auto parts companies, everyone will find that they accidentally witnessed the birth of a miracle.

In the island country, Hagiwara is a mold-based enterprise supplemented by stamping. Hagiwara's automotive mold manufacturing technology is one of the best in the entire island nation, and the island nation's automotive mold technology is also one of the best in the world. Ogiwara's mold technology is second to none in the world.

Many of the technologies of molds are the same. If the car mold is done well, if there is a chance to make a mobile phone mold, it will not be bad.

Guanghui Group can be regarded as buying back a parts company that has mastered the core technology for itself.
