12 December 1999.

It is a special day for the Hereafter.

However, for Nanshan Auto Parts Factory, or for Cao Yang, this is also a special day.

The reinforcing plate supplied by Nanshan Auto Parts Factory to Yangcheng Honda has also officially begun mass production and supply.

Although there is no way to compare the supply volume with Volkswagen's, the customers of Nanshan Auto Parts Factory have finally increased, and this meaning is also very different.

Eggs cannot be put in one basket.

The world's mainstream automobile companies are potential customers in Cao Yang's eyes.

He felt the need to speed things up.

Because with the arrival of the latest payment, Cao Yang found that his points finally exceeded 100.

This means that the nut plates produced by Nanshan Auto Parts Factory have contributed more than 10 million turnover.

It's not easy, small parts, it took months to break through 10 million turnover.

However, there is only a limit to what can be redeemed for 100 points.

Cao Yang took a look, such as VSA, ECU These key parts, none of them are less than 1,000 points, and the assembly parts of the gearbox require more than 10,000 points.

What's even more exaggerated is that the chip actually needs 100,000 points, that is, a turnover of 10 billion to redeem.

When does this get?

Fortunately, Cao Yang didn't have any ambitions, so he directly chose the bolt and nut technology that can be redeemed for 100 points.

has already had an exchange experience of nut plates, this time Cao Yang did not have any special discomfort, and naturally accepted the extra bolt and nut information in his brain.

"Minister Zhang, you investigate and see what bolts and nuts are imported from abroad for the models produced in China by Volkswagen, Honda, General Motors, and Peugeot Citroen."

Although the parts technology mastered now are relatively small and inconspicuous, and even many large factories disdain, Cao Yang is not discouraged.

Whether it's a nut plate or a bolt nut, it's also promising.

If you can get orders for nut plates and bolts and nuts from Volkswagen, General Motors, and Ford, you will be a large parts company with an output value of billions.

When the time comes, you can enter the more critical parts technology in minutes.

In the beginning, it was a matter of development.

Start with the inconspicuous parts, which is also a good way for Cao Yang to have to do it.

"Factory director, this is more, as far as I know, except for some less important parts, most of the bolts and nuts of domestic joint ventures are still imported from abroad."

"A small number of domestic ones are also purchased from foreign suppliers' factories in Huaxia, and the bolts and nuts that are really purchased from domestic manufacturers are estimated to be less than one percent."

Although Zhang Fugui did not know much about the specific situation of bolts and nuts before, he still knew some basic information after working in this industry for many years.

In 1999, the spare parts industry of Huaxia passenger cars was still unusually weak.

Many later generations can easily find parts from several domestic manufacturers, and now they are all imported.

"Where do you think it would be better if we were to get into the bolt and nut industry? Or which part of the bolt and nut do you think is the most worthy of our work? ”

As soon as Cao Yang asked, Zhang Fugui didn't think much about it and said: "Factory director, bolts and nuts look very simple, but there are actually a lot of things that need to be paid attention to." ”

"For example, the selection of raw materials, the control of processing technology, heat treatment technology and surface treatment technology. There are a lot more doorways than we think, and I think we need to think about it carefully. ”

Obviously, Zhang Fugui does not support Nanshan Auto Parts Factory to enter this industry.

In his opinion, it is enough to make a nut plate well.

Then it is enough to expand it to the body stamping parts.

There is no need to choose such a small but precise part as a bolt nut.

"You don't have to worry about these questions first, you can answer my questions first."

Hearing Cao Yang say this, Zhang Fugui was a little helpless, and said: "If it is considered from a technical point of view, it must be that the simpler the bolt and nut, the more suitable for us to cut into." For example, some bolts and nuts in the interior of the car with low anti-corrosion requirements and low strength grades are more likely to be made. ”

"But if you want to say which part of the bolt nut is the most worth doing, that's another result. Engine-related bolts and nuts, chassis, and wheel mounting bolts, which are generally of high value, are still imported from abroad, and are the most worthy of domestic manufacturers to do. ”

"But for such parts, domestic manufacturers can't make products that meet the requirements at all."

Zhang Fugui said this, combined with Cao Yang's understanding of auto parts in later generations, he almost had an idea in his heart.

"The difficulty should be high, the value should be great, and everyone should be able to see it at a glance. It seems that the wheel bolts are the most suitable for this requirement. ”

"Huh? Factory director, this wheel bolt, whether it is Volkswagen, GM, Honda, Peugeot Citroen, are all imported from overseas, and they belong to a very difficult class of parts, and we can't do it. ”

It's not that he deliberately wants to destroy his prestige, Zhang Fugui really thinks that Nanshan Auto Parts Factory can't make wheel bolts.

"What's not to do? This wheel bolt is nothing more than a higher material requirement, a higher processing difficulty, and a more complex control of heat treatment. ”

Zhang Fugui: ......

Is that all?

There are generally about 5 wheel bolts on a wheel, 20 in a car, and the price of each bolt is estimated to be about 10 yuan if imported from abroad.

If it's really so easy to do, can it be the turn of Nanshan Auto Parts Factory?

The fastener factories under Modu Automobile Group and Chuncheng Automobile Group must have done it a long time ago.

Even Modu Volkswagen, which has greater localization pressure, will not choose this kind of parts as a breakthrough point to improve the localization rate.

Even in later generations, most of the parts of a car have been localized, and many of the remaining imported parts are bolts and nuts of special specifications.

Of course, electronic components such as chips, resistors, and capacitors are said separately.

"Director, are you serious?"

Seeing that Cao Yang didn't look like a joke at all, Zhang Fugui was a little flustered.

Nanshan Auto Parts Factory, which is finally on the right track, will not fall into trouble again, right?

Isn't it fragrant to make nut plates and other stamping parts?

Why toss?

"Later, I will give you a list of the equipment that needs to be purchased, and we will immediately start preparing for the production of bolts and nuts."

Cao Yang's answer is more direct than any explanation.

The factory is his, and the fact that he can come back to life this year is also the result of his efforts.

Zhang Fugui really didn't know how to refute for a while, so he could only do it first and then speak.
