Chapter 57: Not so easy to bully
The equipment industry, on the whole, has a high entry threshold.
It is mainly reflected in the production qualification and compliance requirements, capital investment, professional talents, customer base and relationships, and project experience.
For example, some equipment related to safety and hygiene, a production qualification can make you want to die.
However, there are no production qualification and compliance issues in the stamping equipment industry, and you can basically do whatever you want.
The trouble is that you need money, technology and talent, and you need to be able to sell equipment.
A pressurizer is millions, or even millions, and if you don't have customers, it's useless to say anything.
Minutes go out of business.
Therefore, most of the domestic stamping equipment is concentrated in small tonnage presses, which have relatively low investment and a wide range of customers, and are relatively easy to survive.
Of course, the situation is better for this time-honored brand of Jier Machine Tool.
However, what people do is also a relatively traditional single stamping machine, not the PRG press that Nanshan Auto Parts Factory wants to launch.
"Master, according to this progress, our first prototype will be assembled next month."
"However, up to now, more than eighty percent of the components have been purchased from the outside, and we hope to be able to internalize the core motor and crank connecting rod mechanism, but it should be too late this year."
He Qingquan was basically soaked in the center of the equipment during this time.
As a workaholic, Cao Yang gave the drawings, but if the technical plan was implemented, the problem was really not particularly big.
Of course, during this time, the Personnel and General Affairs Department has successively recruited dozens of experienced employees from outside, and they have also helped a lot.
"Let's solve the problem first, and then think about improving the internal work of the parts."
"According to the current increase in the export volume of nut plates, we need to add three or four more stamping machines next year, and these presses will all use the presses produced by the equipment center."
Cao Yang is still very confident in the press technology given by the system.
Although the machining accuracy of some parts may not meet the requirements of the drawings, the overall performance should not be worse than that sold by Schuler and Aida.
"If it's just customizing various parts for assembly, the schedule will definitely be in time."
"Even when the time comes, the failure rate of our own equipment may be higher."
Although He Qingquan is very confident in the PRG press technology developed now.
However, the fact that the technology is advanced does not mean that the equipment is stable.
Sometimes, the more advanced the technology, the more prone it is to failure.
"Won't the first press be assembled next month?"
"Speed it up, assemble the machine first, and then put it into actual production."
Cao Yang's instruction made He Qingquan feel a little strange.
"Master, the current press capacity of our factory is sufficient, so if we are in a hurry to invest in new self-produced equipment, stability will be a big problem at that time."
"Why don't you wait, slowly debug a few rounds after assembly, and wait until the debugging is OK before putting it into use?"
He Qingquan devoted himself to equipment research, and obviously did not have a special understanding of the situation that Nanshan Auto Parts Factory is facing.
Cao Yang naturally understands what he said.
But one yard is one yard, and sometimes you have to make trade-offs.
It's like the iPhone press conference that Steve Jobs did, is the prototype technology mature?
Time waits for no one, and sometimes you can't wait for the technology to mature before launching it.
"The first batch of PRG dies we supplied to the Chuncheng Stamping Plant and the Chuncheng Fourth Ring Plant have already started to be put into use, and they feel the benefits of the PRG process, and they will soon consider introducing a dedicated PRG stamping machine."
"In this case, if we don't move fast enough, we won't have a chance to get their press order."
"Once the first batch of Aida or Schuler presses are used, it is likely that the other party will give priority to continuing to buy the same brand of equipment due to the convenience of equipment maintenance or usage habits."
"Then we'll miss another opportunity."
"In addition, other stamping factories such as Westwind die punching will definitely follow suit soon."
"We don't have much time."
Nanshan Auto Parts Factory has never sold PRG presses, and it is 100% a failure to sell it with empty mouths and white teeth.
That's why Cao Yang hopes so much that a press will be put into actual production.
It's more effective than any advertisement.
Other customers who have not cooperated may have various worries.
However, in the case of Chuncheng Stamping and the Fourth Ring Factory, as long as Nanshan gives a guarantee and assists in maintenance if there is any problem, there is still a possibility of successful sales.
Even the odds are high.
"Master, I understand."
"Originally, the equipment center was on normal shifts, but starting tomorrow, I will directly divide the personnel into three shifts, so that there are people at work at every time period."
"However, further recruitment may be needed on the manpower side."
"After all, even if some people work two shifts at the same time, it's not enough."
He Qingquan was going to eat, drink, and stay in the equipment center for the next period of time.
He even thought about directly asking the Personnel and General Affairs Department to prepare a few marching beds and place them directly in the equipment center.
"No problem!"
"Ask people to give people, ask for money to give money, ask for things to give things!"
"The development of the PRG press this time is not only related to the future of the factory, but also related to whether it is going to be bullied now."
"There's a piece of news, you can tell everyone about it after dinner......
Cao Yang mentioned Huitian's disgusting to He Qingquan, and immediately hung up the other party's anger.
The reputation of Dongying people is originally more complicated.
Now that I have come to disgust Nanshan Auto Parts Factory, it is naturally easy to arouse everyone's hatred for the same enemy.
"Master, don't worry, I don't have to wait for a month later, at most half a month, I can make it appear in front of everyone."
"Most of the parts are already in place, it's just assembly."
"As for the maintenance of other presses, I think that once our own presses are successfully assembled, we can directly let our equipment center take care of this part."
"In the future, there is no need for the people of Aida to let them in even at the gate of our factory."
"We can even inquire about it to see who else in the industry is using Huitian's equipment, and we will directly grab their after-sales business."
Cao Yang is not just a master and a boss in He Qingquan's heart.
This is still his own Bole, his own benefactor.
Now that Huitian wants to be disgusted and blackmail Nanshan Auto Parts Factory, how can he bear it?
This is even more unacceptable than insulting himself.
"This is a good proposal, Huitian wants to make money by after-sales, and we will destroy their market in the future."
"Let's see if they regret it or we regret it!"
This time, Cao Yang is ready to show his fangs and let the industry know that Nanshan Auto Parts Factory is not so easy to bully.
