Chapter 219: Friend or Foe Are Hard to Distinguish, Great Wall Motor's Temptation
Fang Sisi was slightly shorter than Mi Ying.
However, the height of 168cm, among the girls in Yangcheng, is definitely outstanding.
The unique temperament and affinity are even more impressive.
"Mr. Cao, we're meeting again!"
Seeing Cao Yang coming over, Fang Sisi took the initiative to stretch out his hand.
After Cao Yang shook it shallowly, he couldn't help but ask, "Isn't Reporter Fang based in Dongying Kyoto?" Now back home? ”
"I am now transferred back to China and become a reporter based in Lingnan for Huaxia TV."
"I will be responsible for following up on the news related to Nanshan in the future."
"Please take care of Mr. Cao in the future."
Fang Sisi obviously knew that Cao Yang would ask this question for a long time, so he was not surprised at all.
"On the Dongying side, the appearance of ten years ago and ten years later is similar, and it is difficult to find a few brilliant news every day."
"It's not like our Lingnan Province, where there is heavy news every three or five days."
"Especially Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd., I heard that you are putting satellites for everyone again on today's Nanshan Science and Technology Day?"
People who can be journalists are naturally more talkative.
After Fang Sisi met Cao Yang, there was no strangeness at all.
"Fortunately, we just invested more manpower and material resources in research and development than others, and the natural return is 100 million points more."
"In the future, we will have to trouble reporters to help promote our products more."
Whether it is respect for beauties or respect for the special status of Huaxia Taiwan, Cao Yang's attitude towards Fang Sisi is quite good.
"Once raw and twice ripe, Mr. Cao can call me Sisi."
Fang Sisi smiled and revealed two small dimples, full of affinity.
"Before the Nanshan Science and Technology Day, all our customers were invited, after all, it was a technical recommendation meeting, so I was embarrassed to invite the media. I don't know how Sisi is interested in such a boring technology exhibition? ”
Cao Yang said as he took Fang Sisi towards the various exhibition halls.
Behind Fang Sisi, there are people carrying cameras and shooting various pictures.
"Nanshan is the largest number of domestic enterprises that have won the National Science and Technology Progress Award."
"I was stationed in Yangcheng, so naturally I want to focus on a powerful enterprise like Nanshan."
"In particular, I heard that you also officially launched the 1.5T turbocharged engine today, which is the first turbocharged engine for passenger cars in China, and the technical parameters are better than those of international counterparts."
"Such good news material, I naturally can't afford to miss it."
Fang Sisi naturally couldn't interview Cao Yang there from beginning to end.
More often than not, the two of them are visiting as if they were chatting.
It's just that when she arrived at the engine showroom, she began to record a few minutes of video alone, and then officially interviewed Cao Yang with a few questions.
For this kind of official interview, Cao Yang's answer is naturally decent, and there is no need to make a big fuss.
However, even so, this scene has attracted a lot of attention.
"Xiao Lu, is the output of the 1.5T turbocharged engine in Nanshan higher than that used on our Accord?"
"Have you heard that Honda is working on turbocharged engines?"
As the deputy director of the purchasing department of Yangcheng Honda, Li Huarong was naturally invited to participate in the activities of Nanshan Science and Technology Day.
Among the international auto giants, Honda has always been famous for its engine technology.
What one Honda, lifelong Honda.
Buy an engine and send it away.
It's all the "faith" of some Honda fans. ”
Now that he sees that Nanshan has developed an engine that is even better than Honda, Li Huarong naturally has a sense of crisis.
Nanshan has this engine, which means that domestic independent brands may be able to use this engine.
Coupled with the 6AT automatic transmission provided by Nanshan before, the two weakest links of the independent brand were made up by Nanshan.
If this is superimposed on various cost-effective configurations, will the sales of Yangcheng Honda be affected in the future?
Li Huarong expressed concern about this.
"Judging from the data displayed in Nanshan so far, this is indeed the case."
"HOWEVER, TURBOCHARGING IS NOT A NEW TECHNOLOGY, HONDA HAS ALREADY EQUIPPED THE CITY TURBO IN THE 80S WITH AN ER-TYPE 1.2-LITER INLINE-FOUR TURBOCHARGED ENGINE."
"Even for Honda, turbocharged engines have long been their specialty, in the 80s of the last century in the field of F1 cars, Honda's turbocharged engines are invincible all over the world, dominating the entire F1 field, and finally had to force the FIA to change the rules of the race, completely ban the use of turbocharged engines in F1 cars."
"Even in addition to Honda, Nissan had its own turbocharged engine earlier."
"It's just that the early turbocharged engines had various problems of one kind or another, and they didn't have an overall advantage over naturally aspirated engines, so they didn't get large-scale popularization."
"With the advancement of technology, some problems of turbocharged engines have been slowly solved, so now Europe is starting to pick up turbocharged engines again."
"Of course, the driving force behind the policy is also very important."
Lu Xiangyang didn't deliberately belittle Nanshan's turbocharged engine there, but he really didn't think it was a big deal.
At least he didn't think it was a big deal until it was actually loaded and sold.
"The last time I talked to people at Honda Research about the new models of the future, none of the new models that were launched before 2008 used turbocharged engines."
"But I've heard that Volkswagen's next-generation engine platform is a turbocharged engine, and Ford and GM also mean that."
"Wouldn't it be a disadvantage for us if the market was going to be turbocharged in the future?"
Li Huarong thought a lot.
It's just that this answer is not destined to be given by Lu Xiangyang.
……
"Gormo, I just got the news that Nanshan has launched a 1.5T turbocharged engine, and now it is being promoted to various domestic brands in China."
"Didn't the engine manufacturers of Dongan Power and Aerospace Mitsubishi want to switch our camshaft bearings and other bearings to Nanshan's bearings?"
"I think I can take the initiative to report the situation of Nanshan engine to them, so that they can realize the harm that Nanshan brings to the industry."
Xue Wenqiang is very concerned about Nanshan Science and Technology Day.
Although he couldn't go to the site himself, he had already learned about the relevant exhibition technology of the Science and Technology Day through familiar people.
In addition to the wide range of bearings, engines are undoubtedly a key product that attracts SKF.
After all, there are many places on the engine that need to use bearings.
Previously, Nanshan's achievements in this area were relatively small.
Now Nanshan has taken the initiative to enter the engine industry, which can be regarded as a competitor with those engine manufacturers.
As long as SKF pushes a little behind the scenes, these engine manufacturers will definitely not use Nanshan's products again.
Even some of the bearing items that have now been identified for replacement may turn yellow.
Undoubtedly, this is in the interest of SKF and the interests of engine manufacturers.
Xue Wenqiang was aware of this, so he took the initiative to communicate with Golmo.
"It's not enough for Nanshan to get a gearbox, but to get an engine?"
"Can they make it?"
Golmo maintained a certain degree of skepticism about the news reported by Xue Wenqiang.
There is no way, Huaxia's engine manufacturers are too powerful.
Except for some heavy-duty diesel engines that are produced independently in China, other gasoline engines are generally unavailable.
"Although I also feel very puzzled, but the engine of other people has indeed been made, and I heard that it will be mass-produced by the end of this year."
"In this case, other engine manufacturers will definitely feel the crisis."
"Especially the companies that specialize in the production of engines, such as Aerospace Mitsubishi and Dongan Power."
"We can take advantage of that."
As soon as Xue Wenqiang said this, Gormo did not hesitate any longer, and said: "Tomorrow we will personally go to Aerospace Mitsubishi, and then we will also visit Dongan Power, exaggerate the threat of Nanshan Engine, and let them continue to cooperate with us and NTN, and don't consider Nanshan Bearing." ”
The suppression of Nanshan is in line with SKF's general policy.
Even this has become one of the topics discussed in the SKF Board of Directors.
As a result of the emergence of Nanshan, SKF's turnover in 2002 experienced negative growth for the first time in many years.
Among them, the negative growth in Huaxia District is the most glaring.
If it weren't for the fact that the headquarters felt that it would not necessarily be better to replace someone, the position of Gormo's position would have been impossible to keep a long time ago.
……
Great Wall Motors moves fast.
In the afternoon of the same day, after Wang Ying reported to the big boss, he took the initiative to ask Cao Yang to discuss the cooperation of the 1.5T turbocharged engine.
"Mr. Cao, the engine durability test report and various parameters provided by your company are all replicable, right?"
Before the formal negotiations, Wang Ying once again confirmed the situation of the Nanshan engine.
After all, none of them have yet to get a formal prototype for testing, but they just read Nanshan's test report.
Although judging from the report, the performance of this engine is definitely very good.
The quality seems to be very good, and after the durability test, there is no problem at all.
However, these are based on the fact that the report information provided by Nanshan is true and reliable, and is not made under special circumstances.
"Mr. Wang, when you leave Yangcheng tomorrow, the five engine prototypes we provided to Great Wall Motors can be officially loaded and transported to your company."
"If we have any fraud in the parameters, you can raise any questions from your company."
"We promise to provide an answer that satisfies your company."
Cao Yang is obviously very confident in the level of his own engine.
He also saw that Great Wall Motors was the manufacturer most interested in the 1.5T engine after BYD.
No matter what aspect of the view, Cao Yang must be hoping to promote Great Wall Motors to use Nanshan's engine.
Even if it's just for a few years.
After all, in the engine business, he did not intend to earn money for the rest of his life.
It is enough to make a good fortune in ten years.
"Mr. Cao, we fully believe in your character."
"We have all seen the technical level of Nanshan."
"At present, half of the models of Great Wall Motors have been equipped with Nanshan gearboxes, and we are very willing to cooperate with your company on the engine, but I don't know if Mr. Cao has any hard requirements for cooperation methods?"
Wang Ying did not directly propose to buy other people's engine technology as soon as he came up.
It's easy to get things falling apart.
"We in Nanshan are open to all kinds of cooperation, and everything can be discussed."
Before Great Wall Motors played a license, Cao Yang would definitely not make a statement first.
So just gave a relatively ambiguous answer.
"I heard that BYD will launch the model this year, and this engine is used?"
The circle of the automotive industry is very small.
It's no secret when someone is going to get a new car.
After all, there must be overlap in the supply chain between any two automotive companies.
And the car, from research and development to the market, will take one or two years at the earliest.
Even for Toyota, Honda, and other Dongying car companies, it is necessary to start research and development four or five years in advance.
In such a long R&D cycle, it is impossible not to spread the relevant news at all.
So it is normal for Wang Ying to know about BYD's situation.
They don't even need to arrange any commercial espionage to get to know about it.
"That's right, if you really want to talk about it, our engine was launched ahead of schedule because of the needs of BYD's models."
Everyone knows the news, and Cao Yang naturally has no need to hide it.
Anyway, BYD is about to start the next step of model promotion.
At that time, some information will officially appear in the media.
"If we Great Wall Motors also purchase this engine, can we do better than BYD in terms of business conditions?"
Great Wall Motors is definitely larger than BYD Motors now.
Everyone's position in the automotive industry is also different.
It's no wonder that Wang Ying has such a problem.
"It depends on how many Nanshan engines your company is ready to buy, if the number is much more than BYD, then the business conditions are naturally negotiable."
In business, even if the Great Wall's requirements are a bit excessive, Cao Yang will not be angry.
There's nothing to be angry about.
Who doesn't want their conditions to be better?
"I heard that when China was discussing the purchase of aircraft with Airbus, there was a plan, that is, how many planes were directly imported from Airbus, but the remaining batch of aircraft orders needed to build a factory in China for final assembly."
"I think it's a very useful practice."
"If Great Wall adopts Nanshan's engine, can it also be purchased directly from Nanshan in the first batch, and the latter batch will be transferred by Nanshan to assemble and produce in Great Wall Motors?"
Wang Ying casually found a cover and officially threw out his proposal.
She was curious to know that Cao Yang would catch the ball like this.
