Hu Fei said that the machine tool accessories are just a general term, in fact, including tools, measuring tools, digital display devices, CNC systems, machine tool accessories, fixtures, spindle functional components, rolling functional parts and other more than a dozen categories of products, each category can be divided into hundreds of product categories.

For example, in the category of spindle functional components, it includes electric spindle units, rolling supports, oil film supports, air film supports, pressure oil sources, automatic balancing systems and other products, each of which has different specifications and models.

All these products, naturally, cannot be completely produced by the same enterprise. Most of the machine tool companies in the world are to take the way of purchasing some accessories, and they are only responsible for doing a good job of the whole machine. In fact, this division of labor is the most efficient, because in the hundreds of years of development of the machine tool industry, the production of many accessories has formed a relatively complete division of labor system.

Especially in those old industrial countries in Europe, there are many enterprises that are only engaged in the production of accessories, because they focus on making a product, so it is easier for them to achieve a professional level. Machine tool companies all over the world source professional parts from them, and no one can do better than them for certain parts.

The development of China's machine tool enterprises, greatly affected by the Soviet model, does not pay much attention to the professional division of labor, and has traditionally formed a "large and complete", "small and complete" way of thinking. That is, regardless of the size of the accessories, you can do it yourself, try to do it yourself, only products with a high degree of specialization such as bearings and motors will be considered for outsourcing.

In the years when politics was in charge, due to the influence of factors such as segmentation and local protectionism, it was more difficult for enterprises to cooperate with each other, so the enterprises were under the banner of "independent regeneration" and developed their self-supporting to the extreme. It seems that as long as there is one gear that needs to be purchased from the outside. There is a hidden danger of being "stuck in the neck".

With the development of the market economy, the concept of division of labor and cooperation has gradually been accepted by people. Especially those emerging township enterprises and private enterprises. It does not have perfect supporting capabilities, and it can only solve the demand for accessories through the market. As for whether these accessories come from home or abroad, it is not a particular issue to consider.

After more than ten years of development, Hanhua Machine Tool Co., Ltd. now has a full range of machine tool products, including lathes, milling machines, drilling and boring machines, grinding machines, insert planers, sawing machines, forging and casting machinery. With so many types of machine tools, the accessories involved are also diverse, and it is neither possible nor necessary to rely entirely on their own.

In particular, the ball screws, precision bearings and other accessories used in high-end precision machine tools have a very high degree of specialization. It's not something you can just do on your own. The performance and quality of these accessories have a great impact on the accuracy and service life of the machine tool. The objects of purchase are mainly professional accessories manufacturers in western developed countries.

Here we need to talk about a misunderstanding. Some people see Chinese companies buying accessories from abroad, and they feel that this proves that China's technology is backward and cannot make certain accessories. In fact. As a country that can send satellites into the sky, it is completely illogical to build a pair of ball screws that meet the requirements.

The real reason is that such lead screws themselves are not in high demand, and they can be easily bought in the international market, so they have to bother to develop them themselves. It's completely unnecessary. A pair of lead screws or a set of bearings doesn't seem like a big deal. But there are so many kinds of accessories on the machine tool, and in this world, no country can guarantee the production of all these accessories. If there must be a word, then this country must be called "foreign", which is the general name of the United States, Britain, France, Germany and Italy.

Machine tool designers design a machine tool with a list of the various accessories available on the international market in mind. They designed some kind of ball screw on the machine because it already existed and was available. If the lead screw does not exist at all, or for some reason, the company cannot source such a lead screw, then the designer can generally find other alternatives.

In other words, what Western parts do Chinese companies need to procure, first of all, because such parts do exist on the market, and they are available to Chinese companies. In economic terms, this is called Say's Law, which is also known as "supply determines demand". Of course, this is a parody of Say's law, and when the old man Say said this law, he was not aiming at microscopic problems.

Hanhua's machine tools were initially of low grade and could only be sold to backward countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. This low-end machine tool market is not looked down upon by the European powers, so between Hanhua and European counterparts, it belongs to the complementary relationship in product grade, and there is no direct competition. At that time, GCA purchased machine tool parts from European companies and did not need to worry about the problem of other people's stuck necks.

In recent years, Hanhua's technical level has been continuously improved, and its machine tool products have gradually begun to touch the market of European enterprises, and there has been a conflict of interest with them. Hanwha uses parts from Europe to produce machine tools that are cheaper and even better than European manufacturers, and seize the market of European manufacturers, which is unacceptable to its competitors. In this case, it is also an inevitable choice for the other party to weaken the competitive strength of Hanhua by interrupting or reducing the supply of spare parts.

Seeing that Hu Fei looked at herself, Cen Youjun pressed the microphone in front of him and said, "The situation that Minister Hu said does exist. However, Zhenhua has long been prepared for this, and our machine tool company has not relaxed its efforts to localize accessories over the years. The year before last, after Zhenhua returned from the Frankfurt exhibition, he conveyed that the Khedira was lobbying other manufacturers to jointly curb Hanhua, which gave us a little more urgency.

In the past two years, in addition to stepping up the research and development of key accessories, our machine tool company has also issued a large number of special research projects to domestic parts manufacturers, universities, scientific research institutes, etc., the purpose is to solve most of the problems of parts localization before Western manufacturers start, and eliminate hidden dangers in the bud. ”

Cen Youjun said that Hu Fei also knew about these preparations. I just don't know much about the details. He asked: "Mr. Cen, do you estimate that if Western manufacturers completely cut off your spare parts supply?" How much will your production and sales be affected? ”

Cen Youjun said: "The impact is still quite large, mainly some high-speed, precision CNC machine tools, may be stopped due to the supply of accessories, the specific impact of the degree, I can't estimate it now." In fact, the most important thing is not to lose some immediate orders, but to damage our brand image. ”

Xiang Zhedao: "On this issue, a multi-pronged approach is needed. First of all, you should try to communicate with European parts suppliers. Convince them to abandon this extreme tactic and, if necessary, consider raising some purchase prices, at least to gain some buffer time first. Secondly. It is to speed up the process of localization of accessories. Saying goes. Not being envied by others is mediocrity, and if we want to develop, we will definitely be envied by others. Key technical links. We must be in our own hands before we can have the initiative. ”

Donnie Yen said indignantly: "These European companies are too ignorant of WTO rules? It is a violation of business ethics to use the monopoly of accessories to engage in unfair competition. If everyone does this, the industrial division of labor in the world will not be sustainable at all. ”

"Hehe, Zifei. Angry again? Lin Zhenhua said with a smile. Although Donnie Yen is a returnee, he is quite reckless. From time to time, he speaks wildly, and he has a bit of anger.

"Why am I so angry?" Angry Qing never thought of himself as an angry youth, and the same was true for Donnie Yen, he glared and said, "What I said is the truth." If an American company dares to make things difficult for an American company with such a thing as accessories, it will definitely take the other party to court, which is an obvious act of unfair competition. ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "That's in the United States, and we're talking about China. You must know that in the eyes of Europeans, China has an original sin, and this original sin is that it has too many people and too long history. Didn't Napoleon say that China is a sleeping lion that will shock the world once it wakes up. Now it's time for us to wake up from a big dream, and everyone regards us as an opponent worth paying attention to. As for WTO rules and the like, they are just a fig leaf, and when the interests are really at stake, Western countries will not care about any irregularities. ”

"We can take them to court, or we can file a complaint with the WTO." Donnie Yen suggested.

He Fei said: "Zifei, your idea is right, but in reality, I'm afraid it is not operable." The other side can find all kinds of excuses to delay the supply of goods to us, and if we appeal to the WTO rules, it will inevitably be a protracted war of words. By the time the WTO ruling, I'm afraid our machine tool companies have already closed down. ”

"What do you think?" Donnie Yen asked.

He Fei stretched out his hands: "I'm a layman." Mr. Xiang has just said that it is better to ask for people than to ask for it, and to break the blockade of the West, we can only rely on ourselves, so we can speed up the localization of accessories. If we can make it ourselves, others will not help us. ”

"But in this way, it is equivalent to one of us to compete with the entire Western camp, isn't it too unfair?" Donnie Yen said.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Is there any way? This is not something that can be transferred by our will. However, Western countries are not monolithic, as can be seen from the events of the Saint-Tropez Conference, even European companies are passing the buck to each other, and it is difficult to form an unbreakable alliance. And we also have our advantage, that is, the national system. ”

"The national system ......," Donnie Yen pouted, "This is a remnant of the planned economy." We are now a market economy, and it is really outdated to engage in this kind of national system. ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "What kind of residue do you care about it? As long as it can play a good role, it is a good system. Do you think that European countries do not have a national system? Hmph, what they are doing is not only a national system, but a world system. If you think about it, is it a kind of world-wide system for Western countries to jointly impose high-tech restrictions on China? ”

"Uh......" Donnie Yen was dumbfounded by Lin Zhenhua. Isn't it true that when it comes to the technological blockade of China, Western countries have taken concerted action. They always say that China is not a complete market economy country, and that the legal embargo on China's high technology is a manifestation of the market economy?

"Mr. Lin, on the issue of machine tool accessories, I'm afraid I really have to use this national system." Hu Fei interjected, "With the strength of our Hanhua family, it is difficult to completely solve the research and development of so many accessories, and we must have the cooperation of other units." I think, do you have to work harder, run through those cooperative units that can be used, and mobilize everyone's strength together? ”

"Alas, I'm really miserable." Lin Zhenhua complained exaggeratedly. In fact, he also knows that he is the only one who is the most suitable person to do this kind of coordination with other units, especially the central ministries and commissions, and others are not qualified at all.

"Mr. Lin, you just reluctantly run for it." Hu Fei didn't have the slightest consciousness of being a subordinate, so she directly sent the chairman to work, "Huaqing University, it's your old relationship, and they only recognize your account." We have a lot of accessories to study, and we fall on them. In addition, the Commission of Science and Technology should have some cutting-edge technology in its hands, and if they can lend a hand, I estimate that most of our problems will be solved. ”

"There is also Xingbei Heavy Machinery, the problems we encounter, they will also have, our two as the largest machine tool companies in China, need to join forces in order to effectively deal with the ban of European manufacturers. Mr. Gu of Xingbei Heavy Machinery, but he only looks at your face. Xiang Zhe also added.

"Okay, tomorrow I will go to the capital and worship the temple gate one by one." Lin Zhenhua smiled and agreed.

"Well, with Mr. Lin, everything will be solved." Hu Fei gently patted Lin Zhenhua's ass, and then looked at the notebook in front of her, "The third method proposed by the other party is about technology patents, let's discuss it together, and see how we can maintain the competitive advantage of our products in the case ......of European manufacturers raising patent licensing fees in an all-round way."
