Chapter 169: Aisin, the Poor Skill of the Donkey
During this period of time, among the domestic auto parts enterprises, if you want to say who is in the limelight, it has to be Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd.
Customers from various OEMs, as well as inspection teams from institutions and research institutes at all levels, are almost every day.
However, if you want to say which parts company is the most anxious during this time, the first place has to be Aisin.
Although international transmission giants such as Aisin, ZF and JATCO have been greatly influenced by the Nanshan 6AT, Aisin is the most influential.
For example, in Jatco, Nissan's main customer is Nissan.
Although the gearbox is also willing to be sold to the outside world, it is far less than Aisin's size.
At present, ZF mainly has customers in Europe and the United States, especially in Europe.
At present, the actual impact of Nanshan 6AT in this regard is not so great.
But Aisin is different.
Except for Toyota's orders that were not affected, its orders from other customers were hit.
Especially on the side of Huaxia's own brand, almost all of Aisin's customers are eye-catching with Nanshan.
It made Aisin Huaxia full of anxiety.
"Minister, I have communicated with many customers, unless our 4AT price can be two or three thousand yuan cheaper than Nanshan 6AT, they will think it is competitive."
"Otherwise, everyone would rather buy Nanshan's 6AT than choose our 4AT."
"As for the 6AT, unless our price is very close to the Nanshan 6AT, no one wants to use it."
"Even if individual customers are still willing to cooperate with us, they are only used in the high-end derivatives of a very small number of models."
"As for the MT gearbox, although there are still some customers who continue to work with us, they have increased their bargaining efforts."
"If our MT gearbox does not drop the price to less than 5,000 yuan, they will not produce MT models."
"If we don't think of anything about this situation, it is estimated that it will be difficult to change."
Zhang Hao's mood at this time was very complicated.
He never imagined that Aisin would have such a passive day.
But this day came so suddenly, so quickly.
"How?"
"What can be done?"
"We have found a special consulting company and asked them to arrange for someone to say that Nanshan 6AT is not good on the Internet."
"But at present, it has no effect, and it has even helped Nanshan 6AT make a reputation."
"We also want to put pressure on Nanshan through the power of the local leadership of the transmission factory."
"But these people, who are usually very enthusiastic, have come up with all kinds of excuses to ignore us at this time."
"Even if some people say it's okay, there is no movement in the end."
"In this case, what do you think we are going to do?"
"Unless the headquarters can improve the technical parameters of our 6AT to the same level as the Nanshan 6AT, or even higher, there will be no solution at all."
"Even our cost can't be more expensive than Nanshan, otherwise those independent brands that are very sensitive to price will immediately abandon us once they find that Nanshan's 6AT has no quality problems."
Saburo Sato was also under a lot of pressure during this time.
The business of the entire Huaxia branch is changing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
Although these changes will not have a significant impact on the results of 2001, they will immediately show adverse changes from 2002 onwards.
"Or if we join forces with ZF and JATCO to put pressure on Nanshan, do you think it is feasible?"
Although Zhang Hao hopes that domestic auto parts companies can develop and grow, the premise is that it cannot affect him.
Obviously, Nanshan's strength has affected his interests.
In this case, he is naturally on Aisin's side.
"Pressuring?"
"How do you put pressure?"
"People's technology is developed by themselves, parts are produced by themselves, and even most of the materials are purchased domestically."
"What else can we do in this situation?"
"Could it be that we will purchase from various OEMs together and say that you want to use Nanshan's 6AT, and we will not supply it?"
Saburo Sato's words made Zhang Hao unable to refute.
Nanshan at this moment is no longer something that Aisin can easily suppress.
Although there is still a big gap between the overall volume of Nanshan and Aisin.
However, in the field of Huaxia auto parts, Nanshan is not a small enterprise.
The most important thing is Nanshan's success in the field of stamping equipment and the research and development of 6AT achievements, which have attracted great attention in China.
At this time, whoever wants to deal with Nanshan, Yangcheng will first stand up and oppose it.
"If it really doesn't work, let's have a good talk with Nanshan to see if we can cooperate well and make money together."
"It's not good for anyone to engage in a price war like this."
Zhang Hao couldn't think of a better way, so he could only choose to bow his head.
Anyway, in order to make money, it's not impossible to bow your head.
"If there is a tacit understanding between ZF and JATCO, it should be feasible in this way."
"But these companies in Huaxia have a completely different style from us."
"These people are always breaking the rules and causing a lot of problems for everyone."
"I really don't want to work with them."
It is obviously difficult to make a parts giant like Aisin lower his noble head.
In particular, the opponent is Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd., a local private enterprise in China.
Saburo Sato felt that he couldn't pass that level in his heart.
Not to mention that this plan still needs to be discussed and reported to the headquarters.
When the time comes, you may be scolded for being bloody.
"Previously, SKF was using the patent litigation method against Nanshan, do you think it would be useful if we adopted this method?"
"At that time, we will use Nanshan's products as an excuse for a patent dispute with us, and hope that all OEMs will not use Nanshan 6AT."
Seeing that Saburo Sato seemed unwilling to bow his head, Zhang Hao could only continue to make bad ideas.
"It's useless."
"If Nanshan is a very small company with no reputation, it makes sense for us to do this."
"But now that they've grown, the lawsuit will only attract more attention to them."
"At that time, those courts in Huaxia will not be able to sentence them to lose when the other party obviously has no problems."
Saburo Sato's heart moved for a few seconds, and then he gave up the idea.
When the time comes, stealing chickens will not be able to make rice, and he will be scolded even worse.
"What about acquisitions?"
"Is it possible for us to let the group go out and buy Nanshan?"
Zhang Hao continued to make unreliable proposals.
However, in the end, Saburo Sato expressed his denial.
Huaxia finally appeared a competitive parts company, and the other party is now not short of money, there is no shortage of market, and a fool will sell it.
And at this time, Saburo Sato's phone rang.
