Chapter 116 As long as the benefits are big enough, the action is fast enough

Austin and Chris reacted so violently and so passionately.

In fact, it's not that what Cao Yang said is so creative.

In fact, the impact of collusive bidding and price manipulation between suppliers on the production cost of the whole vehicle is not necessarily so large.

Most of the car companies are aware of these "small actions" of suppliers.

Even if the price of a certain batch of parts orders is slightly inflated, it will be made up elsewhere.

This has even become a tacit understanding between auto parts suppliers and car companies.

Of course, in the Dongying car companies, this situation will be more obvious.

In General Motors and Ford, it's slightly better.

But in any case, General Motors and Ford are having a hard time right now, but the financial statements of those parts giants are very good.

At this time, Chris and Westin naturally couldn't bear it.

When the eldest brother is drinking soup, the younger brother is eating meat and his mouth is full of oil.

How can this be endured?

Therefore, after Cao Yang handed them the sharp weapon of "anti-monopoly", it would play such a big role.

General Motors and Ford Motor Co., Ltd. are likely not to do better in the second quarter than in the first quarter.

So both Austin and Chris are under pressure.

With such a cost-reducing weapon, they naturally have to go all out.

As long as it is determined that the parts giants have violated the "Antitrust Law", not only can the law enforcement agencies in the United States take advantage of this to fine a huge amount of money back, but General Motors and Ford can also take this opportunity to ask them to reduce their prices.

If all the TOP50 suppliers are engaged in a round, the overall procurement cost will be reduced by 5%, which is really not a problem.

So after Cao Yang met the two of them, he hadn't even booked a plane ticket back to China, and he had already heard that the U.S. judicial authorities had officially launched an anti-monopoly investigation into the auto parts industry.

Subsequently, SKF, NTN, JTEKT, and Enske were raided at their headquarters in the United States.

The largest antitrust case in the history of the United States has officially kicked off.

This little-known but ubiquitous black-box operation in the automotive industry has also been exposed.

"Mr. Cao, the influence of General Motors and Ford is really great."

"So quickly, the judicial authorities cooperated with them to launch an anti-monopoly investigation, and directly took the bearing field we hoped for as an entry point."

"The power of this snake is really fierce!"

Zeng Tingting looked at the report on the Yahoo Auto channel and felt quite emotional.

Originally, she thought that such a big thing would have to be brewed for a month or two before it moved.

Unexpectedly, a week didn't pass, and people started to do it.

Sure enough, as long as there are interests, people's efficiency is also leveraged.

It's all nonsense to talk about not working overtime or anything like that.

"You don't look at GM's position in the United States either."

"For more than 70 years, they have been the leaders of the global automotive industry, and the shareholders behind them are all affiliated institutions on Wall Street."

"It also has brands such as Buick, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Daewoo, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Opel, Vauxhall, Hummer, Horton, Saab, Saturn, GMC, as well as shares in Suzuki, Isuzu and Subaru."

"Do you think such a company, in the capitalist United States, will its influence be lower than that of our central enterprises?"

"As for Ford, although it is the second in the millennium, it is not bad at all."

"Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda, Aston Martin, Land Rover, Jaguar and Volvo, although not as good as General Motors, are completely superior in quality to General Motors."

"Now that the two of them have joined forces, and even after they went back, they went to Chrysler and Dodge Motors to work together to convince the American judiciary, can this influence be small?"

As soon as Cao Yang said this, Zeng Tingting had a more direct understanding of the influence of General Motors and Ford.

If you don't list a single column, you don't know how thick the foundation is.

If you leak a little bit, it is enough for other car companies to snatch it.

"SKF, as the first key investigative object, is estimated to leave this time without eating."

"If the people at their headquarters knew that the Huaxia branch was behind this matter, they would probably have the intention of firing all the management of the Huaxia branch."

Zeng Tingting was in a very happy mood at this time.

Although the domestic lawsuit did not end so quickly, this time SKF and Nanshan clash with each other, it is clear that they have the upper hand.

At that time, it will definitely be the SKF Group that will lose even more.

"Now is not the time to reveal, when our strength grows, we will not be afraid of their suppression."

Cao Yang is not arrogant enough to challenge all international component giants.

After a few years of development, when the time comes, you will be competitors with a bunch of giants, and you will not be afraid of being suppressed by others.

"The last time we came to the United States, we made a pit on Toyota."

"This time, we have cheated suppliers such as SKF, NTN, Enske, and JTEKT."

"Even other international component giants have been cheated by us."

"But the most influential estimate is Toyo's suppliers, who have done the most in terms of monopoly."

"I feel like I can't hide this news for long."

"When the time comes, they'll definitely know that this has something to do with us."

"We also have to be a little prepared for this."

Zeng Tingting felt that Austin and Chris were not so credible.

Although they have now agreed to keep it secret, who knows if they will leak their mouths when they drink high?

Or when the senior management of General Motors and Ford asks questions, will Nanshan be sold?

So she felt the need to remind Cao Yang to prepare for the leak of good news.

Otherwise, if someone makes a surprise attack at that time, you will be passive.

"If you know, you are not afraid, they have no evidence."

"Whether it is Toyota's brake door or this anti-monopoly investigation in the auto parts industry, it is the American giants such as General Motors and Ford Motor that are charging ahead."

"They are willing to attract hatred, and they are not afraid of other people retaliating against them, so we can just beat them to the death and not admit it."

"Anyway, as long as it doesn't affect us to get orders from car companies such as General Motors, Ford, and Volkswagen, it doesn't matter if the rest matters."

In the first decade of the 21st century, for Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd., the American and European car companies were the thickest thighs.

Although the car companies in Dongying and Goryeo are developing very fast, the opportunities for others will basically not be left to Nanshan.

It's nice to be able to mix it up in their supply system.

"Mr. Cao, this time the matter will definitely make a big fuss, I have thought of an idea, maybe I can pit SKF again."
