Chapter 56: Disgusted
For a stamping plant, both tooling and equipment require regular maintenance.
Only in this way can their longevity be fully guaranteed.
However, in the past few days, Zhang Fugui has encountered a headache.
"Minister, the other party bit it to death, saying that the after-sales parts are all at this price, and asked us if we want it?"
"If you don't order it now, then the next batch of parts from Dongying will have to wait for more than a month later."
Su Xingxing was very nervous and reported to Zhang Fugui about the maintenance parts procurement of stamping equipment.
The purchasing and sales department of Nanshan Auto Parts Factory is divided into two sections, one is the purchasing department, and the other is naturally the sales department.
Su Xingxing is the section chief of the procurement department, and he can be regarded as a related household.
"They dare to ask for 1,000 yuan for a bolt, and they also need to spend 2,000 yuan/day of man-hours, and ask their experts to come and replace it?"
Zhang Fugui looked at the price list handed over by Su Xingxing, obviously disgusted.
The Nanshan Auto Parts Factory is now also a factory capable of making wheel bolts, and there is also a rough estimate of the cost of the spare parts and bolts used in the 600-ton PRG press.
No more than 10 yuan a piece!
Even if you count some additional transportation costs and the like, it will not exceed 50 yuan a piece.
Now the other party is offering 1,000 yuan a piece, and a device needs to be used to 12, which is 12,000.
The most disgusting thing is that the daily working hours of 2,000 yuan, as well as the accommodation fee and air ticket fee of the designated hotel have to be paid by Nanshan Auto Parts Factory.
It's just too deceitful.
"Yes, Aida Stamping said that if we replace the parts on the equipment without authorization, then they will not guarantee any problems in the future."
When Su Xingxing said this, Zhang Fugui felt even more disgusted.
It seems that Cao Yang started the equipment center in advance, which is really prescient.
Although the stamping mechanism has not yet been fully developed, the progress is gratifying.
"The replacement of those bolts is not too technical, can you let them command it remotely, and we will replace it ourselves?"
Considering that in the future, Nanshan Auto Parts Factory will be able to make its own equipment, so there will be no need to be coerced by Aida at that time.
Therefore, Zhang Fugui is considering whether to compromise one step first this time and do all the items that should be maintained regularly.
The parts that should be replaced should be replaced according to the requirements of others.
"I've talked to them a few times, and they don't agree."
"They still insist that if any part of the equipment is replaced without their permission, then the warranty agreement will automatically expire."
As soon as Su Xingxing said this, Zhang Fugui immediately asked, saying, "The previous agreement did have such a clause?" ”
"Yes, that agreement is a fixed template given by the other party, and it will not accept any modifications at all."
"So at that time, we also pinched our noses and signed directly."
"The other party also said that this requirement is not a request from Huitian, but that this industry is like this."
"Even they came up with a warranty agreement for Boeing aircraft, which has similar provisions."
"Even if a seat mounting nut on the plane is loose, it cannot be replaced without authorization, and it is not allowed to directly purchase bolts from the market to replace them, but to buy them from Boeing for a thousand dollars."
Su Xingxing's words were not to speak to Huitian, but to show that this content was not that he hadn't noticed it before, but that the other party was unwilling to make any concessions.
"We now have 6 sets of Huitian's PRG equipment, and once the warranty project sits down, it is estimated that more than 100,000 yuan will be gone."
"It's just a money grab."
Zhang Fugui is obviously very unwilling to pay the hundreds of thousands.
Although Nanshan Auto Parts Factory is not worse than hundreds of thousands, it is one yard to one yard.
"At the beginning, the price of Huitian's press equipment was so much lower than Schuler's, and the delivery cycle was so short, it is estimated that people have already thought about it and then slowly earn it back on the after-sales maintenance."
Su Xingxing guessed maliciously.
If he didn't throw all the pots on Huitian, this level would be very difficult.
Besides, he felt that what he said was not wrong.
"This matter is not big or small, I will go to the factory director to discuss it."
Zhang Fugui, as the head of the purchasing and sales department, can directly approve projects within 100,000 yuan in principle.
If the procurement of these spare parts and the follow-up service fees are paid separately, basically each transaction can be within 100,000 yuan.
This can be done within the purchasing department without having to move up to the company.
There are many enterprises that will take the method of breaking up a large project into many small projects.
This avoids the need for higher approval levels and allows the project to move forward more flexibly and quickly.
Of course, it has also become more shady and more conducive to black-box operations.
"Well, sooner or later, this matter can't be hidden, so it's good to report it to the factory director in advance."
Su Xingxing was still a little lucky, but now after listening to Zhang Fugui's words, the whole person wilted.
His life as the head of the procurement section is destined to be difficult during this time.
"The fox tail of the Dongying people was revealed so quickly?"
was different from what Zhang Fugui expected, Cao Yang didn't get angry after listening to the report.
"We have also done some investigations, whether it is stamping equipment or other equipment, some spare parts and services after sales are more expensive, which is a common phenomenon."
"But these conditions of Huitian are really a bit too much, too greedy."
Zhang Fugui's tone was full of resentment.
When it comes to sales, in the face of the main engine factory, he, Party B, is often angry.
Now when it comes to procurement, I am considered Party A, right?
I actually have to suffer from Party B's anger!
What kind of days have these been?
"Those so-called international equipment giants are actually unreliable."
"That's why I insisted on setting up my own equipment center."
"The starting point is not to sell a few more pieces of equipment to make some money, but not to be stuck."
Cao Yang's calm appearance made Zhang Fugui's mood slowly calm down.
"I'm afraid our own equipment won't be available so quickly, so what should we do now?"
"There's no point in continuing to talk to them, they don't even want to talk about it."
Zhang Fugui directly threw out the problems he was currently facing.
"We're not dogs, Aida fed us a mouthful of, and we're going to eat it too?"
"However, if we refuse their request, it will delay the normal maintenance of our equipment, and Huitian will not give warranty in the future."
"If we don't give a warranty, we will fix it ourselves, if he wants to disgust us, then we will be disgusted and go back!"
In front of the main engine factory, Cao Yang sometimes considers compromise.
But in front of Huitian, Cao Yang obviously had other plans!
