Chapter 122: The first benchmark factory was put into operation
In May 2001, the turnover of Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. exceeded 80 million.
The whole company is in full swing.
When Cao Yang returned to work again, he could clearly feel that the company was changing every day.
"Mr. Cao, you came back just in time, the day after tomorrow is the commissioning ceremony of the official opening of the new factory of Huaqiang Factory, Guo Shuyin has come over a few times, and I want to invite you to attend."
Zhang Fugui came to Cao Yang's office as soon as possible.
During this time, he was also very busy.
Nanshan Industrial Park has completed the work of three links and one leveling, and civil construction has begun.
The relevant equipment that should be ordered has also been ordered, and the preparation for its own production is also being studied.
Seeing that some factories can start production in the first half of next year, he began to worry about orders to the new factory.
After all, no matter how big the factory is, it will not survive without the support of orders.
And Cao Yang's visit to Ford and General Motors this time must have something to do with the new orders.
Of course, Zhang Fugui will not ask if there are any new orders as soon as he comes up.
That would make him too incompetent as the head of the sales department.
Any order has to rely on the general manager to fight for you.
So what else are you going to do?
"Didn't the new factory of Huaqiang start production a few months ago?"
"Why are you still holding a commissioning ceremony?"
Although Nanshan only has 30% of the shares of Yangcheng Huaqiang Stamping Factory, as a part of the future car-making layout, Cao Yang is still more concerned about their development.
"Huaqiang factory has invested 150 tons, 300 tons, 600 tons of PRG presses, and 1000 tons and 2000 tons of TRF presses in one go."
"Naturally, it is impossible for all of these to be installed and debugged at the same time."
"The PRG presses were put into production before, and the recent 1,000-ton and 2,000-ton TRF presses have also been successfully put into production."
"Because this kind of tonnage TRF press is still very rare in China, Huaqiang Factory also wants to let more people know their strength through this commissioning ceremony."
"Of course, the district also hopes that they will have such a commissioning ceremony, so ......"
When Zhang Fugui said this, Cao Yang understood.
Just do it.
Just take this opportunity to promote Nanshan's press technology.
It also let Pan Jinxing, the newly arrived deputy general manager and director of the equipment center, know that Nanshan does not have no technical accumulation at all.
"If you talk to Lao Guo, just say that I will attend this commissioning ceremony on time."
"When the time comes, remember to continue to invite those peers of Spring City Stamping and West Wind Mould Chong, so that they can feel the pressure."
……
Yangcheng Honda is now the largest customer of Huaqiang Stamping Plant.
Since Honda's associated stamping plants have not yet had time to set up factories in Huaxia, this makes Huaqiang stamping factories pick up a big bargain.
More than 30% of the orders for the body skeleton parts of the new Accord have been given to the Huaqiang factory.
Its rapid development has even affected the speed of investment in China by Honda's affiliated manufacturers.
Up to now, only Yangcheng Aiji and Yangcheng Aipak, which are responsible for the production of front and rear longitudinal beams and A-pillar/B-pillar parts, are divided into three parts of the world with Huaqiang Factory.
The two Honda-affiliated companies, Aiji and Apex, have only determined to build factories, and they will not be put into production until next year.
This led to a localized order for the mass-produced Accord model, and they couldn't eat any of them.
"Li Ministry, this is our newly imported TRF equipment, except for a component on the front baffle can not be produced, we have the production capacity of other body skeleton parts."
Speeches by all parties, thanks, review, and prospects......
The process of the commissioning ceremony is similar.
However, when it came time to visit the factory, Guo Shuyin personally explained to Yangcheng Honda, a major customer.
The leaders are busy with business and have already left the market first.
As for the friends who came to join in the fun, they were introduced by the people from the equipment center of Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd.
"Xiao Lu, Huaqiang Factory has introduced such advanced equipment, and all kinds of parts also have production capacity, so we can give them more opportunities in the future."
Li Huarong, as the deputy director of the purchasing department of Yangcheng Honda, can be regarded as the number one in the field of procurement.
He felt the greatest pressure to increase the rate of localization.
Of course, this is all for the obvious reason.
In fact, whether it is because Guo Shuyin has a good relationship with his boss is only known to him.
"Minister, the main reason is that Huaqiang Factory does not have too much production performance in large-scale automobile bone parts, and Dongying people are relatively rigid, and in the absence of actual performance, core parts such as front and rear longitudinal beams and front and rear wheel covers dare not be made for them."
"After this batch of parts has been mass-produced for a few months, we can make a large number of proposals to the Huaqiang factory on the next model."
Lu Xiangyang, as the head of the stamping department, followed Li Huarong in a very low-key manner today.
"The cost of Aiji and Aipak should be much higher than that of Huaqiang factory, right?"
"If you don't give Huaqiang factory a chance, where will the production performance come from?"
"Isn't this just a dead end of chicken or egg?"
Li Huarong asked rhetorically, Guo Shuyin was happy, but Lu Xiangyang was under a lot of pressure.
"Li Ministry, this is also to blame our Huaqiang factory for starting late, before the main work was stamping parts in the field of household appliances, and the experience in the automotive industry is relatively small, so the personnel of your company Dongying Fang have little confidence in us."
"However, today's Huaqiang plant is different from before, and all the new presses we have introduced are PRG or TRF presses."
"Whether it is in terms of production efficiency or quality assurance, it is very advantageous."
"In the future, if Aiji and Apex have insufficient production capacity, we don't mind being a secondary supplier for them."
As soon as Guo Shuyin said this, Li Huarong and Lu Xiangyang's eyes lit up.
Tier 2 supplier?
It doesn't seem like it's impossible.
In this way, Dongying people have nothing to say, and the task of reducing costs on their side can be better completed.
At the same time, it also increased the orders of Huaqiang factory.
"That's a good idea, I heard that your molds are all produced by the mold center of Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd., is this mold sold to the outside world?"
Li Huarong just listened to the report on the investment in the new Accord tooling (molds, fixtures, and inspection tools) a few days ago, and he was very dissatisfied with the current tooling cost.
The most important thing is that almost all of the molds of Aiji and Aipak are imported from Dongying.
Although a set of molds, it is more than one million at every turn.
The price is simply exaggerated.
Compared with the quotation of Huaqiang factory, the cost of the same type of mold is directly more than half lower.
In both public and private, Li Huarong hopes that all molds can be purchased from China.
"Li Bu, it just so happens that Mr. Cao from Nanshan is also here today, we can ask him directly."
Guo Shuyin said as he quickly took a few steps back and invited Cao Yang over.
