Zeng Tingting followed Cao Yang's side, and her way of thinking slowly kept up with the rhythm.

Dealing with SKF is the focus of Cao Yang's work during this time.

Now that Cao Yang has promoted an antitrust investigation in the United States, she immediately thought of something.

"What? SKF wool, are you going to bare it? ”

Although there is still a big gap between the current scale of Nanshan and SKF, Cao Yang's mentality is very stable.

I'm still in the mood to joke.

"Hee-hee."

"Who let them provoke us?"

"If you don't rub it on the floor, maybe there will be parts giants in the back who want to deal with us."

"After all, Mr. Cao, you have even arranged for people to study gearboxes and machine tools."

"In the future, the company will definitely be involved in more and more fields, and there will be more and more competitors."

"If you don't give a ruthless blow to the first bird, there will be troubles in the future."

Zeng Tingting's words went up to Cao Yang's heart.

Bullying the soft and fearing the hard.

This is true in all fields.

In the workplace, leaders are reluctant to find thorns when looking for people to work, and like to find honest people.

When the auto companies cut prices, the parts giants can't move, so they take the fully competitive manufacturers as soft persimmons.

Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. must not make people feel like soft persimmons.

Otherwise, then there will be endless suffering.

"How do you want to pit SKF again?"

"It's very simple, the United States has launched an anti-monopoly investigation of auto parts here, and we will find a way to promote it, so that the EU can also launch an anti-monopoly investigation on auto parts."

"I don't believe in SKF manufacturers, so I honestly bid in Europe."

"They must have formed a tacit understanding with Schaeffler and other bearing manufacturers in private, violating the anti-monopoly law."

Zeng Tingting's proposal is not very innovative.

But it's very feasible.

In Europe, Volkswagen, Renault, Peugeot Citroen, Fiat and other car companies still rank very well in the world.

It also has a very high market share in the local market.

Dongying enterprises can thrive in the United States, but they are not so satisfactory in Europe.

"Find an opportunity to talk to Volkswagen and the people at PSA Peugeot Citroen to see if they're interested."

"Even if it can't be done, at least it can make SKF and them nervous."

Cao Yang had no reason to oppose the little secretary's proposal.

To cause trouble to your opponent is to provide a boost to your own development.

"That's right, this time we're going to have to break SKF's bones."

"Didn't we take advantage of a Yahoo car channel before?"

"I think I can use it again this time."

Zeng Tingting had a new idea in her mind, which surprised Cao Yang.

"What do you want to use?"

Seeing that her boss was very interested, Zeng Tingting's enthusiasm was also very high, and said: "Just give them a piece of information, saying that the anti-monopoly investigation of auto parts in the United States was started because of SKF, and you can even make up some materials to expose the content of the price alliance between SKF and NTN and JTEKT, these bearing giants." ”

"Anyway, it's a story, true or false, even if the details don't match, there is no problem with the logic."

"SKF will definitely be the target of public criticism at that time."

Zeng Tingting said this plan, and Cao Yang's reaction was much greater than just now.

After all, trying to push the EU to engage in anti-monopoly is nothing more than a matter of drawing a scoop on the gourd.

But now this operation is completely different.

The point is that it sounds very feasible and can have a very direct adverse effect on SKF.

"That's a very good idea, and we can even guide the editors of Yahoo Auto to dig deeper into this subject."

"I have a hunch that this antitrust case in the auto parts industry will be one of the hottest news in the American auto market in 2001."

After Cao Yang gave a positive reply, Zeng Tingting immediately began to implement it.

And in the past few days, the judiciary in the United States has made frequent moves.

In addition to the first wave of bearing manufacturers included in the investigation, now it has begun to include wire harness manufacturers such as Furukawa, Fujikura, Yazaki and Germany's Leoni into the anti-monopoly investigation.

In order to avoid other international component giants smelling wrong, they began to destroy the evidence.

Over the next few days, new parts were investigated almost every day.

Autoliv!

Denso!

Bosch!

Mitsubishi Electric!

Hitachi Automotive Systems!

Calsonic Kansei!

Shamrock!

Bridgestone!

East China Sea Physics and Chemistry!

……

A large wave of component giants were included in the investigation.

This made the topic of anti-monopoly of auto parts hot all of a sudden.

Whether it is the media in the United States, Dongying, Europe, or China, they are all paying attention to and reporting relevant news.

The automotive industry is an industry with a very long industrial chain and a great impact on the economy.

Cars are also relatively familiar to many people.

In addition, countless consumers feel that the price of replacing parts when repairing the car is very expensive, and they have opinions about the cost of parts.

Now the United States is taking these parts giants out as the culprit, which has detonated everyone's enthusiasm at once.

At this time, Zeng Tingting's revelations to Yahoo Motors naturally made the front page headlines of Yahoo Motors.

Let SKF be the central eye of this round of storms.

"Chris, you're doing a great job this time!"

"Take this opportunity to let those parts manufacturers lower the price for us."

"You tell them that if they don't cooperate with our price reduction, then the amount of fines in the antitrust investigation will be greater than they imagined."

Inside Ford, CEO Jacques Nasser listens to Chris's debriefing.

As a professional manager outside the Ford family, Nasser is also under a lot of pressure.

In particular, the first-quarter earnings report was ugly, and many people blamed him.

Therefore, Nasser's enthusiasm for reducing costs and increasing efficiency is definitely very high.

The procurement center can give such a novel idea, and he also fully supports it.

Otherwise, how could this anti-monopoly investigation come so violently?

"I have arranged for various purchasing managers to contact the parts manufacturers involved in the antitrust investigation, and ask them to achieve a 10% price reduction task this year."

"Otherwise, just wait for the sky-high ticket."

Chris was in high spirits at this time.

The purchasing center has never been very important within Ford.

Not only is there no way to compare with R&D and sales, but the status of each factory and technical department, and even the logistics department is higher than procurement.

Now Chris can finally raise his head within the company.
