Americans are very realistic.

When there is a request for someone, any conditions are negotiable.

When you have no desires, you don't have to talk about anything.

For example, when there is a new order, the price is definitely negotiable.

If you want to reduce the price of parts in mass production, and you don't have other chips, it's basically difficult to negotiate.

The price reduction plan that Cao Yang talked to them about now is naturally different from the general price reduction.

But the truth is pretty much the same.

"As you know, our Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. is just a small enterprise in Huaxia and cannot withstand the wind and waves."

"My plan can greatly reduce the cost of parts procurement for General Motors and Ford, which will inevitably harm the interests of a large number of international auto parts giants."

"When the time comes, they won't dare to vent their anger on you, and they will probably go all out against us."

"One or two, maybe we can still find a way to deal with it."

"If more than a dozen or even dozens of international parts giants join forces to deal with us, then Nanshan will definitely not be able to hold on."

"I hope you can understand this."

"So the plan I said today, I hope only a few of us know."

"After leaving this hotel, these plans were all thought up by themselves, and they have nothing to do with me."

"I came to the United States this time just to visit customers and see if there are more opportunities for cooperation in the new model."

As soon as Cao Yang said this, Chris and Austin were looking forward to the next content even more.

As for Cao Yang's request, it is naturally not a matter at all.

They wish they would like to put the credit for the price reduction on themselves, and don't let everyone know that Nanshan is behind his back to give him ideas.

"Cao, no problem!"

"As a friend, I will definitely keep my mouth shut, and I will not let any parts manufacturer know that this plan has something to do with you."

Chris agreed without any hesitation.

Austin had just given Austin a head start, and this time he couldn't afford to fall behind.

"We are here today to learn about the recent development of Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd., what does it have to do with other parts manufacturers?"

Austin took a sip of coffee, spread his hands, and made his meaning very clear.

At this time, Cao Yang is naturally not suitable to continue to sell Guanzi.

"Everyone should be very impressed by the bursting of the NASDAQ bubble last year."

"Some people say that the trigger for this incident was Microsoft's antitrust case."

Cao Yang doesn't like to drink coffee, but he also follows the local customs, so he took a sip of it.

Then start giving ideas to Austin and Chris.

"We're all very familiar with this, and to be honest, I've bought Microsoft stock before."

Austin doesn't know very well what Cao Yang's talk about has to do with GM's cost reduction.

However, this did not prevent him from answering the call next to him.

"Thankfully, the justices overturned the decision of Judge Thomas Jackson of the District Court for the District of Columbia to split Microsoft in two."

"Otherwise, Austin, your losses will be even greater."

Chris smiled next to him and picked up.

A few people are like friends chatting.

"All along, the Anti-Monopoly Law has often targeted large enterprises that everyone is familiar with."

"Whether it's the early Standard Oil Company, the American Tobacco Company, the American Steel Company, the American Telegraph and Telephone Company (AT&T), or the Roche vitamin monopoly case, everyone's focus is on the industry oligarchs."

"However, in my opinion, the monopoly industry oligarchs, in addition to oil, tobacco, steel, telecommunications and other enterprises, there are many enterprises with a monopoly position in the subdivided field, in fact, they have been doing things in violation of the Anti-Monopoly Law."

Listening to Cao Yang's words, Chris and Austin's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Clever people, they have already vaguely guessed what Cao Yang's plan is.

"For procurement, it is the best solution to import a component to multiple suppliers to compete, both in terms of supply and cost."

"And competition can also drive the technological progress of suppliers and move the automotive industry forward."

"However, the current status quo is that auto parts suppliers have joined forces to conspire to raise prices, resulting in monopolistic behavior, and auto OEMs, dealers, and consumers are all suffering."

"I think as the purchasing directors of General Motors and Ford, the two have the most say in this."

After Cao Yang said this, Austin immediately continued: "Indeed, in some major parts, the practice of privately negotiating the price of parts and components and secretly dividing the 'sphere of influence' between suppliers has long been an open secret, and is becoming their normal way of doing business. ”

"There are not many competitors in the same field in the fields of automotive parts, especially those related to airbags and safety systems, parts related to engine control systems, and bearings and wiring harnesses."

Before Austen's words were completely finished, Chris hurriedly interjected: "I can fully understand Austen's feelings." ”

"Auto parts require more professional technology, and several suppliers at the top of the list have violated the Anti-Monopoly Law in order to avoid excessive competition and damage their own interests, and privately formulated and strictly followed the method of 'peaceful coexistence', which we deeply hate."

"As a result, when we develop a new car series, competitive offers for a certain component are reduced to a formality, and who wins the order for a particular model is determined before the tender begins."

"This is absolutely an infringement of Ford's core interests and is unacceptable."

Seeing Chris and Austin's reactions, Cao Yang was very satisfied.

It seems that this time's plan is nine out of ten.

"Chris, Austin, according to what I have learned, a number of bearing parts suppliers such as SKF, NTN, Enske, Koyo Bearing, JTEKT, Schaeffler and Timken have conspired to form a cartel alliance for automotive bearings."

"They agreed on the lower price limit of various types of bearings, and delineated their main customers, and cooperated with each other to do the work of competitive quotations."

"This will definitely lead to higher procurement costs for General Motors and Ford, and it should be severely cracked down."

Cao Yang provided such a plan, not simply to be a good person.

Taking this opportunity to clean up the bearing giants led by SKF is what he is most concerned about.

It's clear that Chris and Austin are smart people.

They immediately got Cao Yang's request.

"Cao, what you said makes too much sense."

"After we go back, we will first take bearings as an example to promote the judicial authorities to launch anti-monopoly investigations on SKF and NTN bearing manufacturers."

Austin did not hesitate to say that he wanted to teach bearing manufacturers a lesson.

"I agree with Austin that bearings seem to be highly competitive parts, and each OEM has several bearing manufacturers supporting various models."

"But in fact, they violated the Anti-Monopoly Law and colluded together in private, harming the interests of automakers and consumers."

"This kind of behavior is absolutely not tolerated."

Chris also expressed his attitude with righteous words.
