Chapter 144: The New Giant Falls, and His Face Is Gone (Two in One)
As a state-owned enterprise, Jier Machine Tool Factory is the best at running policies.
In the past, when Zhang Sheng went to the imperial capital, he wanted more policy support funds.
In particular, there are some projects related to the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the 863 Program every year.
Anyway, if you can get 10,000 yuan, even if you save 10,000 yuan in research funds for the factory.
He has run a lot of times, and he is naturally familiar with all kinds of things, and he knows who to look for and which department to look for.
Due to the outstanding performance of Nanshan and Jier in the press industry this year, they have caught up with or even surpassed their international counterparts in terms of large-ton TRF presses and PRG presses.
In addition, the tariff increase of the press industry was only promoted in the name of a pilot, so Zhang Sheng's plan was quickly adopted.
It was then promulgated as an interim regulation.
As a result, it immediately caused a lot of noise in the press industry.
"We just started to cooperate with Tiantian to deal with Nanshan this month, and Huaxia came up with a thing about raising the tariff rate of stamping equipment."
"This is definitely made by Nanshan."
Lucas has become a lot haggard during this time.
The loss of Changan Ford's press order almost made him fired.
If he hadn't made some achievements over the years and had his own backstage in the company, he would have really swept away.
Even so, his life was harder than before.
"Lucas, Nanshan is just a local private enterprise in Yangcheng, and I don't think they have the strength to influence Huaxia's policies."
Xu Dacheng felt that this was just a coincidence.
And he felt that the impact of this incident on Schuler might not be so great.
Because he found a loophole.
This tariff increase is actually only for press equipment, and does not include related parts.
"No, it must have something to do with Nanshan."
"They may not have that much ability, but Jier Machine Tool Factory has this strength."
"Now the relationship between the two factories is very close."
Lucas stood by his judgment.
To this end, Xu Dacheng also added: "We have already set up a factory in Huaxia, and with the plant and part of the equipment factory acquired by us, we will soon be able to start domestic presses." ”
"The impact of Huaxia's policy on us is relatively limited."
"At most, we will import the components and assemble them in Huaxia."
"Aren't they trying to protect local equipment manufacturers? I'll see how they protect. ”
"And Huaxia can use industrial policies to protect local enterprises, and we can also find ways to let them shoot themselves in the foot."
Xu Dacheng said, a bold idea popped up in his mind.
"What's the solution?"
"We're not going to get Germany to follow suit with the import tariffs on stamping machines, right?"
"That doesn't make any sense."
Lucas felt that he was a little at a loss for what to do now.
The cards that can be played are basically out, and the remaining hand of three, four, six, seven, how to play the cards?
"The policy of raising tariffs does not make much sense for low-end machine tools, because as long as there are orders for these machine tools, we can produce them in Huaxia."
"That is, most of the press equipment manufacturers in China cannot enjoy the benefits brought by this policy."
"That is, industry leaders such as Nanshan and Jier can feel the benefits."
"In this case, if we can let them have internal conflicts, let other press equipment manufacturers in Huaxia, and even other machine tool equipment manufacturers jump out to oppose this plan, or even oppose the promoters of this plan."
"Then things are going to get interesting."
"When the time comes, we will see that the equipment manufacturers in Huaxia themselves are there dog eat dog."
When Xu Dacheng said this, Lucas's eyes lit up.
That's a good idea.
How should it be implemented?
"Xu, how can we make those equipment manufacturers in Huaxia jump out and target Nanshan?"
"In fact, it's very simple, let's take a look at the machine tool enterprises in Huaxia, what are the components that import the most."
"Look at those things that can card them."
"Then we work this component, whether it is to limit supply or increase prices, or other methods, so that a group of other machine tool manufacturers can jump out and bite Nanshan."
"Of course, before we do this, we must first know that this policy is promoted by Nanshan."
"Even if it's not actually Nanshan's family, we have to put Nanshan in front."
"At that time, all the pressure will be concentrated on the Nanshan side."
Xu Dacheng has a very good understanding of China's national conditions.
Although Huaxia imports a large number of machine tools every year, there are actually a lot of domestic machine tool enterprises.
It's just that most of them can only make some low-end products.
At that time, if everyone thinks that Nanshan is for their own interests, causing their interests to suffer, there will definitely be many manufacturers who jump out to make trouble.
"That sounds like a great idea."
Lucas quickly weighed the pros and cons and found that Xu Dacheng's plan was completely feasible.
"There are many types of machine tool parts imported from Huaxia, all kinds of tools and special steels, as well as CNC systems, which are basically imported."
"Xu, I think the CNC system is a very good entry point."
"What do you think?"
Obviously, Lucas immediately grasped the weak point of Huaxia's machine tool industry.
Whether it's a drilling, milling or lathe, a variety of tools are used.
These knives look very simple, but the domestic manufacturers in China just can't make products of the same level as others.
Even in later generations, high-end knives still need to be imported in large quantities.
For the same knife, people may use it for three months, but yours will break down in one month.
Although the price of other people's knives is ten times that of Ling, all things considered, you may still have to buy them.
The situation is similar for special steels.
As for the numerical control system, that sentence is even more needless.
This is the traditional weakness of the Chinese people.
Whether it is the numerical control system of the machine tool or the control system in other fields, Huaxia has a big gap with the international advanced level.
"Numerical control?"
"If I'm not mistaken, Fanuc and Germany's Siemens account for 50 percent and 25 percent of the world market share of airport CNC systems, respectively."
"More than ninety percent of the CNC systems in Huaxia are owned by these two companies."
Seeing Lucas approving his idea, Xu Dacheng was also in a very good mood.
A sense of accomplishment arose in my heart.
"You're right, all the CNC systems we use at Schuler are from Siemens."
"The two founding families have known each other more than 100 years ago."
"As long as we convince the headquarters to help, we can completely get Siemens to cooperate with us."
"After all, although Siemens does not produce presses, it does have a lot of industrial equipment."
"In case Huaxia extends the tariff policy on the press to other industrial equipment, then the impact on Siemens will be great."
Lucas, who is also a German company, is still very confident in convincing Siemens to cooperate with Schuler in the CNC system of machine tools to deal with Huaxia.
"It just so happens that Fanuc is a Dongying enterprise, and Huitian's CNC system basically uses their products."
"This time, Huitian must also have a lot of opinions."
"When the time comes, let them convince Fanuc, we will persuade Siemens, find a reason, and everyone will come together to raise the price of the CNC system, which will definitely make the machine tool industry in Huaxia strife."
Thinking that Nanshan would face the siege of many machine tool manufacturers in the future, Xu Dacheng couldn't help but smile.
The Nanshan family has not been established for a few years, and they dare to easily provoke an old equipment giant like Schuler.
When the time comes, we must let Nanshan know how deep Schuler's heritage is.
"So what are you waiting for?"
"Hurry up and split up!"
Lucas couldn't help but laugh too.
I finally have a chance to take revenge.
……
Huaxia increased the import tariff on stamping equipment, which will lead to a decline in the sales of international stamping equipment manufacturers, which will lead to a decline in the sales of CNC systems, and ultimately affect the cost of CNC systems.
In addition, due to the gap in the production capacity of a chip in the CNC system, the price skyrocketed, so the CNC system also had to increase the price.
Well, Siemens and Fanuc also agreed to help regardless of whether there were logical loopholes in the reasons Schuler and Aida had found for themselves.
After all, they all have their own equipment business, and they are really worried that Huaxia will raise import tariffs on equipment in the future.
While protecting their own industries is something that every country is doing, they certainly want China to open its doors to business.
That's how they can make more money.
"Mr. Zhang, Fanuc just sent us a letter of price increase, asking us to agree to the price increase and mention payment before we are willing to ship."
"At about the same time, Siemens also sent us another letter of price increase, which had the same meaning as Fanuc's."
"I don't think it's that simple behind this."
Jier Machine Tool Factory, Liu Yongzhe, Minister of Purchasing Department, came to report to Zhang Sheng as soon as possible.
Now the whole factory is working hard for Changan Ford's press equipment, if the purchasing department drops the chain, it will definitely be enough for him to drink a pot at that time.
"Price increase letter?"
Zhang Sheng was stunned for a moment.
He hadn't heard of it in years.
For a long time, it is Jier Machine Tool Factory that sends price reduction letters to suppliers.
When did the supplier start sending a price increase letter to Jier?
Is the sun coming out of the west today?
"Yes, it's a price increase letter, and the price increase is very outrageous, it's completely like blackmail."
"The original 300,000 sets of CNC systems now cost 1 million."
"Some low-end CNC systems have risen from 100,000 to 500,000 sets."
"In this way, many of our machine tools are not profitable."
When Liu Yongzhe said this, Zhang Sheng frowned.
It is definitely not normal to increase several times at every turn.
What the hell is going on?
Without waiting for Liu Yongzhe to continue to say anything, he directly grabbed the letter printed out in the other party's hand.
"A chip capacity gap can make the price rise so much?"
"Is this chip made of diamond or gold?"
"There is also this increase in import duties, which has led to a decline in customer sales and affected the cost sharing of the control system."
"What's the reason for that?"
The more Zhang Sheng looked at it, the more angry he became.
It's outrageous.
"Mr. Zhang, I feel that these reasons are all made up casually by Siemens and Fanuc."
"The reason behind this is because the import duty on the press has been increased."
"Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence."
Liu Yongzhe said with great certainty.
In fact, from the far-fetched mention of the increase in the stamping agency tax in the price increase letter, he knew the real reason behind this matter.
Although he was a little unclear about why Siemens and Fanuc did not make stamping machines, why the reaction was so big.
"Siemens is a German company, and Fanuc is a company in Dongying."
"This year, we have been in the press industry with Nanshan, and we have offended Schuler in Germany and Aida in Dongying."
"They probably even tore our hearts."
"Now it is so coincidental that the price of CNC systems of German and Dongying manufacturers has risen."
"I probably understand what's going on."
"In this way, you go and ask about the CNC systems of other manufacturers to see if the price has changed."
"I made a phone call with Mr. Cao from Nanshan to discuss how to deal with it."
Zhang Sheng has been working in the machine tool industry for more than 20 years.
It is clear that Siemens and Fanuc have a monopoly on CNC systems for machine tools.
Originally, their prices were relatively high, so that a large part of the procurement costs of domestic machine tool manufacturers were used to purchase CNC systems.
Especially for low-end machine tools, the impact in this regard is even greater.
Now the price has been raised sharply, and the increase is so big that giants like Jier can't bear it, not to mention other machine tool companies.
If this matter is not handled well, he feels that he is in big trouble.
……
"Mr. Cao, it is very strange that there are several reports on the Internet today."
"I feel like there's a driving force behind it."
In Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd., Cao Yang was watering Wan Nianqing next to the window, and Zeng Tingting brought bad news.
"What's the report?"
With the development and growth of Nanshan, the relevant reports in the media must be increasing.
Cao Yang is also slowly getting used to this change.
"These articles are all criticizing the increase in import tariffs on stamping equipment announced some time ago, and also saying that this is a policy promoted by Nanshan for its own selfish interests and using its own influence."
Zeng Tingting said angrily.
In her opinion, these media are absolutely nonsense.
"What about other than that?"
"Anything else?"
Cao Yang's mood was very stable, and he was not angry at all because of Zeng Tingting's words.
In a high position, Qi cultivation kung fu is also growing.
"They also said that by doing this, Nanshan was dragging China back, and now everyone is going all out to make efforts to join the WTO."
"If this incident affects Huaxia's accession to the WTO, then Nanshan will be a sinner through the ages!"
As soon as Zeng Tingting said this, Cao Yang's face finally changed a little.
