Huitian stamping is not particularly well-known in Dongying machine tool enterprises.

After all, their products are mainly presses, and ordinary people basically do not touch them.

However, since its establishment in 1917, Aida has gone through more than 80 years.

In the subdivision of stamping equipment, the strength is still very strong.

With the exception of Schuler, there is no other stamping plant in the world that can hold them back.

Thanks to the rapid development of Toei's automobile industry and home appliance industry, the sales volume of Aida's presses has also increased year by year.

However, even so, a one-time order of more than 30 presses is very rare.

Both up and down the field are very important.

It's just that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

When Aida handed over the offer to the parent companies of Well-Fook and Aiji, such as F-TECH and H-ONE, there was no movement for half a month.

This made Takeuchi Xianren, head of the Aida Sales Headquarters, feel that something was wrong.

"Minister Yonegawa, I heard that your company's factory in Huaxia has started construction, and the installation and commissioning of all equipment will be completed in the first half of next year, and the schedule is very tight."

"Especially for large-tonnage presses, not to mention the long manufacturing cycle, even the installation and commissioning are more time-consuming."

"Your company's order may need to be sent as soon as possible, so that we can do our best to respond."

Although the Aida company is already making preliminary preparations, even some long-cycle parts are already being prepared.

But Takeuchi certainly wouldn't say that to Yonekawa.

If you want to force others, you also have to pay attention to skills.

In the Dongying series of enterprises, I like to talk around the most.

The practice of speaking harshly is not popular.

"Takeuchi-san, I was thinking of asking you over for a good chat."

Yonekawa quickly thought about how to tell Takeuchi about this.

In fact, H-ONE held an internal board meeting last week, and the matter of investment in equipment in Huaxia factory was decided.

It's just that this conclusion is a bit strange, Yonekawa is preparing to fly to Huaxia to confirm the situation in person.

So I haven't been able to give feedback to the people in Aida.

To some extent, Yonekawa is also leaving a way back for himself.

After all, the board's decision is a bit strange and a bit unreliable.

If he re-orders a press from Huitian at that time, the pressure on him, the head of the purchasing department, will be greater.

"It just so happens that a new pub has opened near your company, and their tuna sashimi is very good, and the eel rice is also very special, why don't we get together there tonight?"

Takeuchi raised his left hand and looked at his watch, not wanting to delay any more than a day.

Anyway, every night he had to go for a little drink before coming home.

Even if the company doesn't work overtime, he has to delay until eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening to get home.

After all, in Dongying, the later a man comes home, the busier his work is, and the more he is valued.

If you arrive home at six or seven o'clock every day, then your wife and collar will have to worry about you.

"Izakaya, ......"

"Okay."

"I happened to have a bottle of Yamazaki's whiskey there, and we can have a drink tonight."

Yonegawa's words made Takeuchi feel a little surprised and a little uneasy.

The other party is the head of the purchasing department of H-ONE.

H-ONE, Honda's largest stamping parts manufacturer, is comparable to Toyota's Toyota's Fengtetsu and Nissan's UNIPRES in Toei.

In front of the press manufacturer, it is Party A's father who is properly done.

You are so polite to yourself today......

This has never happened before.

You must know that although Huitian has an extraordinary position in the subdivision of Dongying stamping equipment, it is not without opponents.

Not to mention that Schuler has always wanted to expand the Dongying market, and Koryo Hyundai Weiya wants to come over to grab orders, and it is Komatsu Stamping, which is also a Dongying company, which can bring great competitive pressure to Huitian.

Even Komatsu's size is larger than Aida's as a whole.

With a nervous mood, Takeuchi Xianren didn't bring anyone, and went to the meeting alone, going to the izakaya to wait for Yonegawa's arrival.

Fortunately, this time Yonekawa didn't let him wait too long to come.

The two were old acquaintances, and after a few words of greeting, they sat down on the tatami mats.

"Takeuchi-san, the development of Aida this year is not bad, right?"

"I've heard that your fiscal year 2000 report is very good."

Naturally, Yonekawa would not take the initiative to mention the matter of the Huaxia factory's press order.

But it can't be cold, so I found a general topic to talk about.

"Thanks to the strong support of your company, the situation last year was really good, and the company's turnover hit a new high."

"Especially in the American market, which contributed more than 40% of our turnover last year."

"Your company's branch in the United States has also given us great support."

Although Takeuchi was eager to find out what the order was going for H-ONE Huaxia Factory, he also knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Without a few glasses of wine, how can it be convenient to discuss some confidential matters?

It's just once.

When the second meeting is delayed, or even the third meeting, it is very convenient for everyone to say anything.

"The development of the American side is indeed very fast, and Honda's Accord and Civic are selling very well."

"We will order an 800-tonne PRG press and a 1,500-tonne TRF press in the future."

"In the future, it is possible to further expand the scale and build a new plant."

I'm going to tell the other party bad news later, so now I'm naturally going to draw a cake for Takeuchi first.

Otherwise, this wine will make my heart uneasy.

"Then I'll ask Minister Yonekawa to take care of me."

Takeuchi's mood improved a lot, and he raised his glass and touched a glass with Yonekawa.

After the conversation box was opened, the atmosphere between the two was much more harmonious.

When the two of them were almost drunk, Takeuchi said, "Yonekawa-san, let's go to the kabuki hall on the next street and sit for a while before we go back?" ”

"I heard there's a new batch of girls over there."

In Huaxia, it is normal to go to KTV to sing a song after the wine game, and have a second game.

It's pretty much the same in Toei.

The first meeting and the second meeting of people are the meaning of the first and second meetings.

"No, it's been a busy day today, so it's almost here."

In normal times, Yonekawa would definitely not be polite, but today the situation is different.

"It's okay, just go relax."

"I also want to ask Yonekawa-san about the scheduling arrangement of the press order of the Huaxia branch."

At this time, it was only natural for Takeuchi to bring the topic to the topic.

"Takeuchi-san, I want to tell you if you don't ask."

"Since your press needs to be exported from Dongying to Huaxia, not only does the price and delivery time have no advantage compared with local suppliers in Huaxia."

"Even if you buy imported equipment, you need to spend foreign exchange in China, and they also hope that we will use domestic equipment as much as possible."

"Is it possible for you to set up a branch in Huaxia to produce presses?"

As soon as Yonegawa's words came out, Takeuchi's heart was cold.

Sure enough, something happened!
