As a manager at Ford's purchasing center, Toms owns his own single-family home in the suburbs of Detroit.

With a not low salary, his life is quite chic.

When the company wanted to arrange for him to go to China and serve as the director of the purchasing department of Changan Ford, he was very unhappy.

In his cognition, he felt that Huaxia was a country without toilets, and people went to the toilet on the street at will.

In his cognition, he felt that China was a poor and backward country, and the buildings and transportation facilities in the cities were very dilapidated.

In his cognition, he thinks that Chinese food is spicy, such as hot pot, spicy hot, etc.

……

Anyway, he was very reluctant to go to Huaxia.

However, after he really arrived in Shuangqing, he found that many situations did not match his cognition.

In just half a year, he was already a little happy.

This time, Chris, the purchasing director, came over, and he must have entertained him as a landlord.

Especially the magical food in various hot pot restaurants, you have to take Chris to see it for a long time.

What duck blood, pig brain, sandworm, crocodile meat......

However, before the hot pot was eaten, Chris brought him a bombshell news first.

"Our automatic transmissions are all 6ATs, and then purchased directly from Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. in Yangcheng?"

Chris has a deep impression of Nanshan in his heart.

At the beginning, for the press order in the stamping workshop, Chris called himself and asked him to treat the Chinese manufacturers "fairly and justly".

Then the project team jointly established by Jier Machine Tool Factory and Nanshan won the bid for Changan Ford's press order.

Schuller's opinion was great.

At present, Chris even asks for a 6AT automatic transmission to be purchased from Nanshan.

Was this Nanshan opened by Chris's brother-in-law?

Or is there a stake in Chris?

"That's right, this plan has been approved by the CEO, and the R&D center is also promoting relevant tests."

"Not only that, but in the future, the 6AT produced by Ford's own transmission plant will be the same as that of Nanshan."

As if knowing what was going on in Tom's mind, Chris added next to him.

But as soon as he added that, Toms had even more questions.

What is the 6AT produced by Ford's own transmission plant is also the same as Nanshan?

Didn't Ford develop the 6AT on its own?

"Chris, I naturally resolutely implement the decision of the headquarters, but I have never heard that Nanshan has made a gearbox."

"Aren't they manufacturers of presses and bearings?"

Although Toms knew that his boss's boss couldn't joke with him, he couldn't help but express the doubts in his heart.

"I didn't have it before, but I will have it later!"

Thomas:......

……

"Zhang Sang, Huaxia's Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd., have you heard?"

Aisin AW sales department, Saburo Sato hung up the phone with a heavy face.

As a person who has been stationed in the United States for four years, his English is definitely very good among the people of Dongying.

It's not like you've been talking for a long time, and no one knows if you're speaking English or Japanese.

With this advantage, he has maintained a good relationship with European and American customers.

Toms, the purchasing director of Changan Ford, knew him when he was in the United States before.

Now that the other party has come to Huaxia, Saburo Sato has to find an opportunity to maintain a good relationship with others.

In the past six months, he has basically flown to Shuangqing once a month to make an appointment with Thomas Amusement.

Go to the golf course during the day and play other balls at the clubhouse at night.

The relationship between the two is very good.

In this way, the 6AT gearbox imported from Toba City, Mie Prefecture, Toei naturally has a relatively ideal price.

After all, the tariffs on exports to China and exports to the United States are not the same.

So even if it's exactly the same product as the one supplied to Ford in the United States, the price is much higher.

After Toms received that Changan Ford's transmission would be equipped with the Nanshan 6AT, he immediately revealed the news to Aisin.

Of course, Thomas also specifically told the other party not to sell him.

"Minister, I have really heard of this company, which is quite famous in the field of bearings, and it is said that SKF has also suffered losses."

"What's the matter, do they want to get into our supply system?"

"It should be hard. Shibaura Machinery, Niigata Bearings (NKK), Kogakusha, and we also use some self-developed bearings. ”

"In this case, no matter what Nanshan's bearing technology is, there is no chance."

Zhang Hao's first reaction was that Nanshan wanted to supply bearings to Aisin, so he didn't know how to contact his own minister.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Sato said with a complicated face: "People don't want to be our suppliers, they want to grab our orders." ”

"Huh?"

"Grab our order?"

"How are they robbing us of our orders?"

"Not to mention that they can't grab the gearbox, they don't produce relatively simple air filters, fuel filters, oil filters and cabin air filters."

Zhang Hao obviously did not realize the seriousness of the problem.

However, seeing that his minister's face was getting darker and darker, his words gradually became less.

"Minister, they don't really want to make filters, do they?"

"If only that were the case. There are a lot of Chinese manufacturers who want to make filters, and we are not afraid of one more Nanshan. But what people are doing now is 6AT, and they have also robbed our Changan Ford of the order. ”

Saburo Sato always felt that the phone call just now was so incredible.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was the purchasing director of Changan Ford, he definitely felt that who was joking with him.

"What? No way! ”

"Changan Ford's Fiesta and Mondeo are both production models directly imported from Ford of the United States, and the gearboxes in them are all supplied by us."

"How could it be robbed by Nanshan?"

Zhang Hao's first reaction was that Sato was joking with himself.

But looking at Sato, whose face was getting more and more serious, he also realized that something was wrong.

"Minister, is this true?"

"Don't spread this matter first, go to Yangcheng immediately, no matter what method you do, you have to find out about Nanshan's situation in the field of gearbox."

"I'll also find a way to inquire more about the situation in Nanshan through Chuncheng Toyota."

"Then we'll see how we report to headquarters."

Sato remembered what Thomas had just told him on the phone, and he didn't dare to make a big deal out of it right away.

Otherwise, Toms will be sold at that time.

However, there should be no less investigation.

And he also had to propose to the headquarters how to deal with Nanshan, and he couldn't let Nanshan grow like this.

This is an act that undermines the order of the international gearbox market!

It must be suppressed!
