Chapter 153: Rocket-like Turnover Increase (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Negotiation is a game.
Many times, the process of this game is relatively long.
Of course, it's also possible that the big bosses can do it in one sentence.
Although Chris is not the CEO of Ford Motor, he basically obtained the authorization to make a decision on the matter of cooperating with Nanshan.
As for Cao Yang, it is even more needless to say.
Nanshan is what he has the final say.
The two of them went back and forth to state their own opinions, and they also had a certain understanding of the bottom line between each other.
"That's it, Chris, in the future, all the automatic transmissions produced by Ford Motor in Huaxia will be supplied by Nanshan."
"In addition, as long as Ford's models outside of China use 6AT gearboxes, then 10% of the share is purchased from Nanshan."
"In addition, Ford produces its own gearboxes, bearings and other components, and gives priority to purchasing Nanshan products."
"The price of the gearbox, we will go according to 8,500 yuan, what do you think?"
Although the technology of Nanshan 6AT is very advanced, it has not been put into the market after all, and its popularity is zero.
Cao Yang still needs to open a breakthrough from Ford or GM and Volkswagen.
Now it seems that Ford Motor is sincere in cooperating with itself.
Although the conditions are not so perfect, they are also within the acceptable range.
Of course, Nanshan also has to take a certain amount of risk.
After all, after Ford has mastered the technology of the Nanshan 6AT, it may develop 8AT, 9AT, and even 10AT based on this in the future.
Maybe it will be more difficult for Nanshan to get other orders in the future.
The other party will choose to cooperate with Nanshan, perhaps because of this consideration.
However, Cao Yang is not particularly worried.
Nanshan has a powerful 6AT, can't there be a powerful 8AT?
When the time comes, Ford will toss for a long time and find that it is still not as good as Nanshan's 8AT, which will be even more interesting.
There may be an unexpected surprise.
"Cao, you are really a smart person."
"I agreed to this plan."
"But I hope to keep a low profile in this matter, especially the fact that Nanshan sold 6AT transmission technology to Ford Motor, try not to publicize it."
Chris breathed a sigh of relief.
This condition is still within the scope of my acceptance.
Next, we can consider the details of cooperation.
In particular, the technical data of Nanshan 6AT must be handed over well.
Otherwise, Ford's purpose would not have been achieved.
"No problem, we just told other customers that the Nanshan 6AT is equipped with Ford cars."
"As for the rest?"
"Anything else?"
Cao Yang spread his hands and showed a bright smile on his face.
As the second leader in the global automotive industry, Ford adopts Nanshan's 6AT, which is already a very convincing thing.
Not to mention, GM is likely to use it in the future.
With the endorsement of these two bigwigs, it is enough for Nanshan Gearbox to open up the situation.
When the domestic independent brands learned about this situation, Cao Yang didn't believe that they would not be interested.
Nanshan took the initiative to ask them to sell 6AT, and everyone may have all kinds of doubts and ask to prepare all kinds of explanatory materials.
In the end, it may not be the case.
But if these companies take the initiative to visit Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd., the situation is completely different.
6AT automatic transmission, put in the world is only a few companies to do better.
These manufacturers are still reluctant to sell the 6AT to the world's most advanced gearbox to Huaxia automobile companies.
Even if you spend money, you can often only buy 4AT.
That price is more expensive than the 6AT in Nanshan.
In this case, Nanshan can't grab orders, so it's good to close the store as soon as possible.
"Cao, Ling is a smart person, I believe that the cooperation between Nanshan and Ford will be a successful cooperation and a win-win cooperation."
Chris is also in a good mood.
The cost of a gearbox has dropped by about 5,000 yuan, which can make Ford's report next year much better.
At that time, his position as a purchasing director should be as stable as Mount Tai.
What needs to be considered is whether it can go further.
The next few details don't need to be finalized right now.
Just let your teams communicate.
Cao Yang can also be regarded as having time to accompany Chris to eat, drink and have fun in Yangcheng.
After that, he was personally delivered to the airport and let Chris board a flight to Shuangqing City.
Now that he is in China, Chris is definitely going to Chang'an Ford for a spin.
On the one hand, it is to understand the procurement work of the joint venture company, and on the other hand, it is also to tell them the news that the 6AT gearbox will be purchased directly from Nanshan.
……
"Mr. Cao, has this cooperation really been negotiated?"
"According to the scale of Ford Motor, next year, we can go to more than 2 billion yuan in turnover from the sale of transmissions alone."
"If you add the components on Ford's own 6AT, this turnover can be doubled."
"It feels like a dream."
Such an important matter, the internal management of Nanshan naturally knew about it very quickly.
As the person in charge of the gearbox division, Ji Hua feels that these days are like a dream, so unreal.
He has only been with Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. for a few months and has witnessed this miracle.
From now on, in the field of Huaxia automatic transmission, he is definitely a Taishan Beidou-level figure, right?
When the old colleagues from the School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering of Beijing Institute of Technology know the news, what will be their reaction?
He's looking forward to it.
"I think you're a bit conservative in your prediction."
"Next year, not only Ford will use our 6AT, but there will definitely be some movement from other car companies such as General Motors."
"Not to mention 4 billion turnover, it is possible to double it."
"Of course, in this case, the work of your transmission division is relatively busy."
"The construction of the factory is also progressing day and night, and the relevant technicians and workers have to be recruited and trained in advance."
"When the time comes, don't give an order, but we refuse because of capacity problems, which is a pity."
Cao Yang was in a very good mood, and he took this opportunity to put some pressure on Ji Hua.
If the focus of the Transmission Division was on R&D, the next step is to focus on production.
Of course, this does not mean that research and development will not be forgotten, after all, there is still continuous technological improvement to work on.
At the same time, the research of CVT gearboxes cannot be stopped.
Who knows what kind of products customers like?
"Mr. Cao, don't worry!"
"The plant has been built, and the next equipment installation and worker recruitment and training, I personally watched, and I definitely didn't drop the chain."
This is not only an opportunity for Nanshan, but also a good opportunity for Ji Hua personally.
Naturally, he didn't want to get out of the basket.
It's just that none of them know what they will be busy with when the news of Nanshan 6AT getting an order from Ford spreads.
