When all aspects of the stamping industry in China were in an uproar because of a paper by Cao Yang, Cao Yang, the initiator, was listening to the summary reports of various departments in the company in a low-key manner.

2001 was a bumper year for Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd.

This year, not only the 6AT gearbox has achieved fruitful results, but also the press and CNC system have also made a name for themselves and played a prestige.

The smooth operation of its Nanshan Industrial Park has enabled the rapid expansion of the production capacity of Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd.

Originally, the bearing was only the main hub bearing, but now it is in full bloom.

Not only the use of transmission shaft bearings on automobiles, but also in the machine tool industry, it has become the main bearing manufacturer of most manufacturers in the 18th Arhat Factory.

As for the most traditional nut plate, it has entered the supplier system of most European and American OEMs.

For example, Ford, Volkswagen and General Motors have more than half of the nut plates produced in Nanshan.

This alone has brought more than 400 million turnover to Nanshan.

Despite the small size of this part, the profit margin is much higher than the bearing with more turnover.

It can be said that in 2001, in Nanshan's 1.25 billion turnover, nut plates accounted for only one-third, but they contributed half of the total profit of 180 million

If this data were to be released, it would definitely cause many people to be shocked.

"Mr. Cao, I think it is necessary to launch the second generation of wheel bearings as soon as possible."

"When the time comes, we can take the opportunity of product upgrading to raise the profit margin of bearings."

"Wheel bearings, in particular, were almost unprofitable in the beginning."

"Although the profit margin of the entire bearing business has been pulled to a positive number through the profits of other bearings, it is also lagging behind."

"The original price of 50 yuan a piece, we can't directly overturn it."

"Now that steel prices are falling, it is not good for us to apply for price increases in the name of material price increases."

"But if the products are all upgraded, if we want to increase the price, then it is natural."

Dong Shengnan is a financial expert introduced by Xiang Changle's wife, and previously worked as a financial manager in a large state-owned enterprise.

Because he was not accustomed to some of the practices of state-owned enterprises and did not listen to some special instructions from the CEO, he chose to change jobs.

After entering Nanshan, she naturally hopes to make some achievements.

The finance department of a company is a very important department.

In addition to paying salaries to everyone, receiving and delivering payments, the finance department is also responsible for budget management and cost control, and profit improvement.

Obviously, in Dong Shengnan's view, the profit margin of the bearing business has held back the company.

This needs to change as soon as possible.

"Your proposal is very good, the current hub bearings are not conducive to installation and replacement."

"And it's also prone to some wear and tear."

"Next year, we can launch a lifetime maintenance-free hub bearing, which combines the bearing and the mating bearing seat into a small assembly and supplies it to the OEM."

"At that time, there should be a lot of OEMs interested."

Keeping prices stable or raising prices by means of constant upgrades is something that many industries are doing.

Like Apple's mobile phone, how much is an iphone3?

When it comes to iphone15, how much is it?

Similarly, many other commodities use similar methods.

This practice naturally exists in the automotive industry.

For example, Bosch's ESP is constantly coming out with generations of products.

Otherwise, it is always a product, and it has to cooperate with the price reduction of the main engine factory every year, and there will not be much profit margin after a few years.

This is certainly not the situation that parts companies want to see.

Now that Nanshan is on the wheel bearing, it is natural that there will be this means.

"I think that in the field of bearings, our technology upgrade can come slowly."

"First of all, the bearing giants that have entered the country will not be able to survive, and then consider the matter of increasing added value."

"Of course, technical reserves must be made, and they can also be promoted in combination with the new models of the main engine factory."

"But compared with this matter, I think it is more important to drive the bearing giants such as SKF and NTN out of the Chinese market, or to let them only hold a limited one-third of an acre."

Zeng Tingting expressed her opinion on the side.

As the head of the sales department, she naturally attaches more importance to sales.

If Nanshan increases its price through technological upgrades, people will definitely ask you to explain various reasons.

Obviously, with normal specification differences, it is difficult to explain the amount of price increases.

This will bring a lot of trouble and pressure to the sales department.

"SKF, NTN, NSK, these parts giants, all have their own traditional cooperative customers."

"For example, Toyota's bearing business, it is difficult for us to grab it."

"Some other companies are in a similar situation."

"Now that our mid-to-high-end bearings have become the top in the market, profit margins can no longer be ignored."

Dong Shengnan insisted on his opinion.

In this way, everyone paid attention to Cao Yang.

"It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord. To deal with those international giants, to strike the maximum blow, there is no problem in this direction. ”

"However, this does not conflict with the upgrading of our products, and can be promoted at the same time."

"Nanshan takes the route of relying on technology to get orders, and needs to launch some new technology parts every year."

"In the future, I plan to choose a time that will be fixed every year as Nanshan's technology exhibition day."

"Let everyone see our strength."

Cao Yang naturally would not unilaterally support Zeng Tingting or Dong Shengnan at this time.

Among the ministers in the company, except for the head of the personnel and general affairs department, who are women, there are only two women, Dong Shengnan and Zeng Tingting.

And the work between them is destined to have some contradictions.

There is a conflict between the finance department and the sales department, which is actually what the boss is happy to see.

As long as it's not too excessive, it's tolerated.

Otherwise, the finance department, the purchasing department, and the sales department are all in harmony, and the company will not know if it is sold.

"Mr. Cao's proposal is very good, and we really need to think about how to build a platform to show our technical strength."

Pan Jinxing, deputy general manager, immediately stood up and expressed his approval.

After staying in the company for more than half a year, he has a deeper understanding of Nanshan's strength.

This kind of technical exhibition is completely feasible.

"We can also participate in some exhibitions from next year to let more people see our strength."

Ji Hua, who usually doesn't talk much, also rarely expresses his opinions.

The atmosphere of this summary meeting has finally eased.
