Chapter 234: A group of vulture-like opponents besiege Nanshan

Schuler's orders for presses in China have now fallen to less than 20 units a year.

If it weren't for the reluctance to give up the huge market in Huaxia, it is estimated that layoffs would have begun long ago.

As a sales director, Lucas is also very worried.

However, Xu Dacheng made a very constructive proposal with him today.

"Lucas, Nanshan Bearing is caught in the anti-dumping investigation case of the United States, and it is said that the trial will be officially opened next month."

"As a Chinese company, they have no experience in overseas lawsuits, and nine times out of ten they will lose the lawsuit."

"Not only will we face high anti-dumping duties, but there will also be more problems that may emerge."

"I don't think I should take this opportunity to let Schuler's American branch also file an anti-dumping investigation against Nanshan and Jiji, accusing them of dumping the presses they exported!"

Xu Dacheng's resentment towards Nanshan is very big.

Although his basic salary has not decreased in the past two years, it is still at the level of more than 10,000 yuan per month.

In 2003, it was definitely a high-income class.

But last year, he didn't get a penny of the bonus, and even this year's bonus is hopeless.

In this case, he must have thought that Nanshan had affected his prize money.

If there is no Nanshan in this world, then there is no danger to your own winnings.

"Anti-dumping investigations?"

"You mean to launch an anti-dumping investigation against Nanshan Press?"

Lucas's eyes lit up, and he was immediately full of interest in the idea.

In Huaxia, he felt that he had done everything he could, but there was no way to take Nanshan.

Even with hard work, Schuler's sales in China are lower.

It made him lose his temper completely.

"Yes, I feel that this matter has something to do with SKF, and I can ask the people at the headquarters to inquire about it."

"I believe SKF should also welcome Schuller to join the army against Nanshan."

Xu Dacheng still has a good understanding of the situation in Nanshan, and he also knows very well which companies are most affected by Nanshan.

"You're right, I'll contact you right away, so that Nanshan will fall into the sea of anti-dumping investigations."

"At that time, their presses will not be able to be exported, and we will also make some contributions to the headquarters."

Although this matter has not been able to increase Schuler's sales in China, it may even be due to the decline in the export of Nanshan presses, which will lead to more fierce competition in China.

But he was willing to do it.

No way, his resentment against Nanshan is too deep.

As long as there is a chance to deal with Nanshan, he doesn't want to give up!

……

Thinking of how to deal with Nanshan, Schuler is definitely not the only one.

Far away in Fanuca, Yoshida Ei is also talking to his minister, Yutaka Kawashima, about his proposal.

"Are you saying that the people of the American branch should also collect evidence of the dumping of Nanshan CNC System and Nanshan Robot as soon as possible, and then submit it to the Department of Commerce of the United States, so that they can initiate an anti-dumping investigation against Nanshan?"

Dongying people are actually not people who like to fight lawsuits.

In this respect, they are a little bit similar to Huaxia.

When it comes to business disputes, everyone sits down more often to discuss.

This time, though, things are clearly different.

"That's right, even if the evidence we collect is not so sufficient, and there is no way to win the lawsuit in the end, we can waste a lot of time and energy in Nanshan and delay their development."

When Yoshida Nagamasa said this, Yutaka Kawashima couldn't help but nodded.

"It makes sense, although the sales of Nanshan's CNC systems and robots in the United States should not be very high, but they have begun to make every effort to explore the international market."

"If we don't do something, we will soon be beaten by Nanshan and abandon our armor like the Huaxia market!"

"I'll report to the president later, and then notify the American branch so that they can act as soon as possible."

Yutaka Kawashima was easily persuaded by Yoshida.

No way, this proposal is too timely.

"Minister, I suggest that Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Yaskawa, and Fujikoshi can be brought in, and their American branch can also help collect evidence, otherwise we will rely on ourselves, and I am worried that it will take too long in the middle."

Yoshida was a good manager of the sales department in the Huaxia branch at the beginning, but because of the rise of Nanshan, Fanuc's business in Huaxia was in a state of collapse, and he, the minister, was also transferred back as an ordinary employee.

The treatment of all the Venerable Masters is gone.

The future is gone!

In the past, every day after work, he had an appointment to have a good drink before going home.

Now I can only stay up in the office, or stay alone in an izakaya until midnight and then go home.

After all, in Toei, if a man comes home too early, he will be laughed at.

Your wife will also think that you are useless.

I don't know if this culture is one of the reasons for the high cheating rate of Dongying housewives.

"Pull in a few other robot manufacturers?"

As soon as Kawashima Yutaka heard it, he understood what Yoshida meant, and immediately said: "I think it's okay, we can't help it, they can sit back and enjoy it!" ”

……

"Okumura, just now Toyota took the initiative to contact us and asked us to arrange personnel to collect evidence in the United States against the dumping of Nanshan transmission."

"This time, Nanshan's bearings were launched by the U.S. Department of Commerce to launch an anti-dumping investigation, we didn't think about following up before, careless!"

Hisato Yoshikawa, the president of Aisin, called Okumura, the head of the sales headquarters, to the office and arranged for him to start working.

If there are many victims in the development of Nanshan, then Aisin is definitely one of the most hurt among them.

Today, Aisin's gearbox, in addition to supplying Chuncheng Toyota, has almost lost ninety percent of the market in China.

The impact is huge.

Even Aisin's stock has fallen by 30% in the last two years.

It is no wonder that Aisin, and even Toyota, have very big opinions on Nanshan.

"President, should we wait for Nanshan's case to be concluded before we work hard to follow behind?"

Okumura doesn't want to let Nanshan go, but wants to see how others do it, and when the time comes, it will be much easier for him to learn from it.

After all, Yoshikawa obviously meant to make him responsible.

"Don't wait, I specifically asked, as long as the anti-dumping investigation is initiated, there will not be a few times it will fail."

"It is a well-established fact that Nanshan relies on low prices to grab orders for a wide variety of products in the international market."

"Whether it's us or other manufacturers, we can see this situation."

"I believe that Gates and other transmission manufacturers in the United States have also felt this threat."

"Since the U.S. Department of Commerce has launched an anti-dumping investigation against Nanshan in the field of bearings, there is no reason for them to give up their efforts in other areas such as gearboxes."

Yoshikawa's analysis made Okumura irrefutable.

However, this can be regarded as making Okumura more confident.

"Then I'll fly to the United States in a few days, personally arrange personnel to promote this matter, and make Nanshan fall a big heel!"

"If we succeed, maybe we can regain our share of the U.S. market."

As soon as Yoshida's words were finished, Yoshikawa couldn't help but say: "What are the few days away, arrange someone to book tickets now, and fly to the United States early tomorrow morning!" ”

"If you act on this matter one day, you can enjoy the fruits of victory one day earlier!"

Yoshikawa has an attitude that the world has been suffering for a long time, which naturally makes the actions of various departments very fast.

A big wind and wave against Nanshan is rushing.

These opponents are like vultures, feeling that Nanshan is about to become a corpse in the American market, and are ready to besiege it and get a piece of the pie!

……

"Chris, I heard a message, you're definitely interested!"

At Ford Motor Headquarters, Mays, the design director, sat in the café with Chris with a cup of coffee.

Although it is working time, their work rhythm is not tight at all.

European and American companies generally eat the dividends of the times, even if the work intensity is much lower, and the income is very high.

"How?"

"Could it be that any supplier has fallen into your hands?"

Mace and Chris are old acquaintances.

Naturally, talking to each other is very casual.

"Not really, I don't usually deal with suppliers."

Chris said something that he didn't even believe, and said: "That Nanshan in Huaxia has fallen into an anti-dumping case, have you heard about this?" ”

"There are a lot of anti-dumping cases every year, and it is normal for Nanshan to encounter them."

"I've already arranged for someone to collect the matter of this case, and when the time comes, let's see what impact it will have on us."

Mace's attitude made Chris feel a little surprised, and couldn't help asking: "Aren't you worried that Nanshan's bearings will be subject to anti-dumping duties after the anti-dumping investigation, and then the cost will rise sharply?" ”

"Even other parts such as gearboxes in Nanshan, if the cost has risen sharply because of this situation, wouldn't it be that the procurement center will have great pressure to reduce prices this year?"

Anti-dumping essentially penalizes dumped goods through additional ultra-high tariffs.

This part of the tax will definitely be passed on in the end, otherwise the sales volume will drop significantly.

Of course, under normal circumstances, this cost cannot be passed on, so the purpose of anti-dumping by the importing country is achieved.

It's like a 50 yuan bearing, and if you are charged 200% anti-dumping duty, it will immediately become 150 yuan.

What else is there to be cost competitiveness at this time?

No matter how bad your opponent is, it won't be that bad.

"You're too worried!"

"Our transmission bearings are not only Nanshan can do, there are several suppliers such as SKF and Timken before, and even SKF has recently taken the initiative to contact us, hoping to use a large number of their bearings on the 6AT."

"So as long as Nanshan is really ruled to dump, we can immediately switch the bearing orders to other manufacturers."

"As for the gearbox, it's even more of a concern."

"Previously, we committed to a part of the order for the technology of the Nanshan 6AT."

"If the cost of imported 6AT is too high because of anti-dumping problems, then we just use our own 6AT to replace it, and Nanshan can't say that ours is not."

When Mace said this, Chris opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

This makes so much sense.

I can't refute it.

Sure enough, the people who engage in procurement are the blackest.

"If you say this, wouldn't it be better for Ford Motor to push behind the scenes and let Nanshan lose the lawsuit as soon as possible?"

Although Chris's relationship with Nanshan is not bad, if he chooses between the interests of Ford and the interests of Nanshan, he will naturally choose to protect the interests of Ford without even thinking about it.

This is the true thought of many Ford employees who have come into contact with Nanshan.

"Cao Yang from Nanshan is also relatively familiar with some of our things."

"The brake door against Toyota was pushed by him."

"In the subsequent anti-monopoly investigation, he also stood up and encouraged us."

"If he knew that there was a shadow of our Ford car behind the anti-dumping investigation, he might have reacted to it."

"Chris, you don't want Yahoo's car channel to make headlines one day when Ford is behind the scenes manipulating Toyota's brake doors, right?"

As soon as Mace said this, Chris immediately understood his concerns.

Feelings: Ford really has a small tail in the hands of Nanshan.

"You're right, we just need to be a spectator."

"Nanshan's development speed in recent years has been very fast, grabbing the share of many manufacturers, presumably at this time Nanshan fell into the anti-dumping case has been spread in the industry."

"At that time, there will definitely be a lot of manufacturers behind the scenes!"

After a little thought, Chris understood Mace's thoughts.

A group of opponents besieged Nanshan, and Ford watched the excitement on the side, this scene is also worth looking forward to.

……

"Lu Bu, do you think we have any way to sue Nanshan in Huaxia to make low prices and deliberately destroy the market?"

In Aerospace Mitsubishi, Taro Yonekawa looked at the news related to Nanshan's anti-dumping on the computer screen, and discussed things with Lu Bin next to him.

As an engine manufacturer used by many independent brands in China, Aerospace Mitsubishi has actually had a very good time in recent years.

There is nothing wrong with saying that you are lying down to earn money.

Don't look at Toyota and Honda have built factories in China, but Mitsubishi Motors has not made any big moves.

But Mitsubishi Motors earns less money in China a year than Toyota and Honda.

After all, their engine products are still very competitive in the market.

It's just that this situation has completely changed after the advent of the Nanshan 1.5T turbocharged engine.

"This one is a bit difficult!"

"Let's not say that anti-dumping investigations are not popular in China, even if they are carried out, they are also aimed at importing manufacturers."

"To deal with Nanshan, we want to use policies and regulations, I'm afraid it's more difficult."

"After all, the local government of Yangcheng will never allow Nanshan, a parts company that has mastered its core competitiveness, to fall."

Lu Bin naturally has a very clear understanding of the domestic situation.

What can be done and what can't be done, you can judge at a glance.

"Now that our orders have begun to be lost, at this pace, the company will start laying off employees in less than two years!"

Yonekawa Taro is in a bad mood.

As the head of the sales department, orders have dropped, and his pressure is naturally the greatest.

"I can only let Dongying Mitsubishi speed up the introduction of new engines!"

"Otherwise, the situation will indeed become more and more troublesome."

"Now there are still some independent brand car companies using our engines, and they will not immediately switch to Nanshan products."

"But in two years, it's going to be completely unspeakable."

"Especially now the BYD F6 that uses the Nanshan engine is selling so well, bringing a very bad example."

As soon as Lu Bin said this, Yonekawa Taro couldn't help but nodded.

The truth is this.

But whether to introduce the most advanced engine technology into China, Mitsubishi now also has concerns.

It seems that I haven't asked for a monthly pass for a few days, why don't you reward a few?
