Chapter 9 Leverage Further?
"Mr. Bu Defan, Dr. Hassan, Li Gong, you have worked hard today!"
"Welcome to our factory in the future!"
"This is a little local product in Yangcheng, please taste it."
The delegation of Modu Volkswagen arrived this morning, and will go to another supplier tomorrow morning.
So after dinner, this expedition is over.
"Factory director, this pass of the Modu Volkswagen is considered to have passed, and it was not so stressful to conduct the VDA review before, so I can breathe a sigh of relief next."
Seeing Bu Defan and them get into the taxi, Zeng Tingting breathed a sigh of relief.
During this time, her mood can be regarded as a big ups and downs.
After a while, the factory audit was canceled, and the order was out of play.
After a while, the orders came back and increased.
This repeatedly, the little heart can't stand it.
In particular, the nut plates produced in the previous factory will crack no matter how the mold is rebuilt.
Fortunately, the young boss suddenly came up with a new set of design processes and designed all the PRG molds.
Although the new process was introduced, the mold had to be reopened.
All of a sudden, the cost of the mold invested before was wasted.
But it's better than waiting to die, right?
Now the parts are also smoothly mass-produced, and there is still a chance to export......
Thinking about it like this, it's even more exciting than losing weight yourself.
"What kind of relief, the factory needs to buy a few more stamping machines quickly, and we have to prepare to expand." Don't wait for the order to come, but we can't take it, that's a pity. ”
Although there are dozens of stamping machines in Nanshan Parts Factory, most of them are relatively old, and only two newly bought Schuler presses are more powerful.
Corresponding to the current production of nut plates for Jetta and Santana, it is naturally sufficient.
But if you want to export, it's not enough at all.
"Huh? Buying equipment again?"
"There's no money."
Zeng Tingting felt a lot of pressure.
After the finance minister ran away with the money, she, the secretary to the general manager, is now in charge of the company's finances.
"The two pieces of equipment were mortgaged to the bank for the deposit to be paid. By the time the equipment was delivered, the payment for the goods on the Chuncheng Stamping side had already been paid on a monthly basis. ”
"At that time, we took the order from Chuncheng and went to the bank, and we should be able to borrow some money."
As soon as Cao Yang said this, Zeng Tingting's pressure was even greater.
Another loan?
And more leverage?
If you are not careful, the factory will really go out of business.
"If you just buy a press, it won't be so troublesome, right?"
"One? Who said you only need one? Buy at least three more. And we must buy a press suitable for the PRG process to increase our production capacity. ”
"Santana and Jetta produce so much, even if we really make all the nut plates, we don't need so many stamping machines, right?"
"Just to supply Santana and Jetta, naturally not needed. But there are other models of Modu Volkswagen and Spring City Volkswagen. And the domestic magic capital GM and Peugeot Citroen, they also have the localization demand for nut plates. Besides, didn't Budfan and Hassan say that they would recommend our nut plate to Volkswagen headquarters so that all Volkswagen models around the world could use it? ”
"It took us more than a year to enter the supply system of Modu Volkswagen, and we finally supplied as a secondary supplier. How can it enter other manufacturers so quickly in this short period of time? As for what Bu Defan said, we can't take it too seriously, until now, I haven't heard that Volkswagen imports parts from Huaxia. ”
Zeng Tingting obviously didn't want to go so radically.
She is also really thinking about the factory, so she is not afraid of making the factory director unhappy by her words.
"Volkswagen's situation around the world is not as rosy as you might think. Don't look at Volkswagen's two joint ventures are now the largest car companies in China, but in the world, there are GM, Ford, Toyota in front of them, and Nissan and Honda in the back, and the pressure is great. ”
"Lower cost, better quality, who doesn't like such parts?"
Unlike most people in this era, Cao Yang knows a lot more about the international situation.
It's like when Volkswagen came to China to set up a factory, it seems that it was because it was optimistic about the Chinese market.
Yes, that's certainly a big deal.
In fact, another reason was that Volkswagen was not optimistic about the global situation at that time, and it was eager to open up the situation elsewhere and save the company's stock price.
"Factory director, it doesn't matter if German Volkswagen really asks us to buy parts, we can wait for this information to be confirmed before we act."
"If you want to take precautions and develop, you naturally have to take some risks. You quickly arrange someone to contact and see which press can deliver the goods as soon as possible. ”
Cao Yang is the boss, and in the end, Zeng Tingting must not be able to twist her arms and thighs.
So she didn't bother with it anymore.
"By the way, factory director, haven't you learned much about mold design before? Why are you better than the best engineers in the factory this time? ”
The factory has now survived the difficulties, and Zeng Tingting finally began to be curious about what Cao Yang didn't want to answer.
Mold design requires experience.
In particular, all the stamping parts made between Nanshan Auto Parts Factory use TDM process, and no one knows PRG at all.
After all, PRG molds are difficult to design, expensive and require high equipment.
Although the work efficiency is also high, in the eyes of most people, if you can use the TDM process, you don't need PRG.
Anyway, the labor in Huaxia is very cheap, several stamping machines are connected into a line, and the production cost of using the TDM process is not high.
"Oh, Xiao Zeng, your boss is a genius, and he learned it by reading books and teaching himself."
"By the way, we are already supplying the Volkswagen in Modu and Spring City, but we have not yet entered the Yangcheng Honda in front of us, you hurry up and arrange it, let's visit their procurement."
Cao Yang flickered casually, and then decisively changed the topic.
Sure enough, hearing what the boss said, Zeng Tingting's attention immediately shifted.
Yangcheng Honda, that is the dark horse of this year's Huaxia car market.
Although the overall output is not as good as that of Modu Volkswagen and Chuncheng Volkswagen, if the Nanshan Stamping Plant does not even supply Yangcheng Honda, it will be a little embarrassing for people to ask when they go to introduce it to other OEMs in the future.
"Before the establishment of Yangcheng Honda, Minister Zhang should have been in contact with the people of Yangcheng Peugeot, and the old factory director took him to visit a few times, and I will go to talk to Minister Zhang later, and I should be able to contact them."
Thinking that three more presses will arrive in a few months, if the production capacity is vacant there, the Nanshan Auto Parts Factory, which has finally improved, is likely to be in trouble again.
Therefore, Zeng Tingting also hopes that the factory can get more orders.
