Chapter 252: Reach Out to the Internet?

There is no such thing as an impermeable wall.

Not to mention that Nanshan itself does not want to keep it secret, even if it wants to keep it secret, it is impossible to keep the secret of organizational structure adjustment.

Although it is not a listed company, it does not need to make an announcement.

However, customers and affiliated manufacturers must also be very concerned about the changes in Nanshan.

"Big brother, will this big change in Nanshan have any impact on the construction of our hot stamping production line?"

"At that time, if Nanshan Auto Parts directly invests in the production line, we will lose a good opportunity."

In the Yangcheng Huaqiang Factory, Guo Shu came to his eldest brother's office with a little worry.

At the beginning, the company's three-percent shares were given to Nanshan, and a sum of money was taken out to purchase various advanced presses, which played a very big role in the development of Huaqiang factory.

Today's Huaqiang factory is also relatively famous in the field of domestic auto parts stamping.

In addition to supplying parts to Yangcheng Honda, it also supplies a large number of parts to BYD.

Even the order for Zephyr Nissan was obtained.

Considering the large volume of stamping parts, long-distance transportation is easy to deform and other characteristics, if the next step is to continue to expand the scale, it is definitely necessary to go out of Yangcheng.

The hot stamping production line is the first production line they invested in Yangcheng.

After Cao Yang proposed to the people of Great Wall Motors before, the other party quickly took action and began to take the initiative to contact Huaqiang Factory to discuss the production of hot stamping parts.

"It shouldn't be, Nanshan has always been to produce functional parts with high technical difficulty as the development direction, and if they wanted to do stamping parts, they would have done it a long time ago."

"Although the technical threshold of hot stamping is much higher than that of cold stamping, our equipment and molds are all produced in Nanshan, and they have made a lot of money here."

"Then in terms of hot stamping technology, Nanshan also collected 5% of the sales technology commission fee from the Huaqiang factory."

"In the end, from the thirty percent of the shares, we can further get the dividend of net profit."

"In this case, there is no need for them to shoot on their own."

"Besides, the investment in a hot stamping production line is still quite large, and you need to find a bank loan, and Nanshan itself definitely does not want to engage in this kind of heavy asset investment."

Guo Shuyin didn't panic at all.

In recent years, his research on Nanshan has been relatively in-depth.

It is also very clear what the positioning of Huaqiang Factory is in the Nanshan system.

They just need to do a good job of stamping.

"What you said makes sense, but if their organizational structure has just changed, it is estimated that it will take some time for the personnel in each department to adapt."

"Will it affect the speed of our factory construction?"

Guo Shufu raised another concern.

Huaqiang factory itself has no R&D strength, at least for now.

More often than not, they're like a factory.

The hot stamping production line still needs Nanshan to help build and debug.

"Although the organizational structure has been adjusted, in fact, the specific positions and specific jobs of most people have not changed."

"Mr. Cao also wanted to make this change have an impact on the company's operation to the greatest extent, so he quickly announced the reform plan and the general managers of each company."

"There is no need to discuss to discuss, and everyone's minds are confused."

"In the next step, we will directly find the relevant personnel, set the plan of the production line as soon as possible, and then start to produce the equipment, so as not to waste too much time in the middle."

"The production efficiency of hot stamping is relatively low, and we have to combine the consumption needs of Great Wall Motors to see if we need to invest in two production lines at one time."

Guo Shuyin's thinking is still relatively clear.

Hot stamping is one of the most important development directions for the company in the next few years.

Compared to the fierce competition of cold stamping, there is not much competition in hot stamping.

Even if Benteler, Gestamp, Cosma and other international hot stamping parts giants come to invest in the construction of factories in the future, he is confident that others will fight hard.

As for the comparison with domestic manufacturers, it needs to wait at least five or six years before it needs to be considered.

"Well, I'll make an appointment with the technicians of Nanshan Equipment, and I'll start the project first!"

After listening to his eldest brother's words, Guo Shufu's worries were also alleviated a lot.

The next thing is to roll up your sleeves and work hard.

……

"Zhang Gong, this time the company directly poached Mr. Xie from Shaogang to serve as the general manager of the special steel mill, and it seems that he should be going to show his strength in the field of special steel in the future."

Zheng Dong only joined Nanshan Special Steel in 03, but he witnessed the rapid ramp-up of Nanshan Special Steel Mill from production to production capacity, and the sales volume rose steadily.

Nowadays, I am full of expectations for the company.

Although the entire steel industry is still sluggish, all kinds of prices are at a low level.

However, Nanshan special steel is not made of ordinary low-end steel, but special steel such as die steel, bearing steel, and gear steel.

To put it mildly, Nanshan Special Steel has not produced less than 10,000 yuan a ton of steel so far.

Even some die steel, the price goes directly to tens of thousands of yuan a ton, and the profit margin is definitely very considerable.

"Mr. Xie used to be the deputy chief engineer of Shaogang, and his technology is still very good, and the company dug him up, which can be regarded as digging the right person."

"However, I feel that the current production capacity of 300,000 tons, as long as the company appropriately produces more low-end special steel, the production capacity will soon be insufficient."

"I just don't know if there is a plan to expand production in the future."

As a veteran of the company, Zhang Hui naturally hopes to have more opportunities.

Every expansion is accompanied by a promotion.

"The group's positioning of Nanshan Special Steel is to produce high-tech and high-value-added special steel, and some low-end products have to compete with others for price, and there is no way to give full play to their technical advantages, so it is estimated that they will not be produced."

"I don't know if Mr. Xie will be able to persuade the company to adjust this direction in the future."

Zheng Dong hopes that special steel mills will develop rapidly, but he is also clear about the positioning of special steel mills.

So the mood is really conflicted.

"Of course, it would be nice to be able to change the positioning, but I'm worried that the company will face some new troubles before it has thought about this content."

Zhang Hui has also been in this industry for more than ten years, and his vision is naturally wider than Zheng Dong.

"What's the trouble?"

"Is it troublesome to not have enough capacity?"

Zheng Dong asked with a smile.

"The special steel we are making now is basically a relatively high-end product, and it is the market of imported manufacturers such as Kobe Steel."

"Not to mention anything else, just the mold steel, Longji Special Steel has begun to reduce the price to deal with us, and there may be other actions in the next step."

"Compared with general steel, special steel is more profitable, and no steel mill will easily give up this part of the market."

"But these companies have a lot of background, and you don't know what their next move will be."

As soon as Zhang Hui said this, Zheng Dong immediately felt the problem.

In any industry, new entrants will face the suppression of previous giants.

After all, no one wants to see someone come and grab a cake.

"The company just had a huge lawsuit with SKF and other manufacturers last year, and those steel giants still dare to easily get along with us?"

"You say that people are steel giants, why don't you dare? Don't look at SKF and Aisin, these companies are very large and influential. But compared with the steel giants, it is still a little worse. ”

"We're playing at home now, so even if they make any moves, there's nothing to fear. The big deal is that our special steel is given priority to the companies in the group. ”

Although Zheng Dong knew that what Zhang Hui said was reasonable, he didn't think that the problem was so serious.

"Although our special steels can be supplied to the group companies, the parts produced by the group using these special steels will eventually be sold all over the world."

"Maybe someone will make some moth out of this place by then."

Zhang Hui and Zheng Dong are very concerned about the company's development prospects.

This is one of the characteristics of entrepreneurial enterprises.

Employees are more concerned about the development of the company and do not feel that the company's quality has nothing to do with them.

……

"Mr. Cao, with your reform, the company's momentum will come out."

"A group, eight subsidiaries, and an investment company can give people a very different feeling when they make promotional videos."

In a private restaurant on the edge of the Pearl River in Yangcheng, Cao Yang and Fang Sisi were casually communicating while tasting food.

The Spring Festival is coming soon, and Fang Sisi will return to the imperial capital tomorrow, and this meal can be regarded as practice.

However, for Nanshan, because a large number of parts are exported, not all employees can go home for the Spring Festival.

Cao Yang, the general manager, is even more inseparable.

"These are all imaginary, and this big change is mainly to prepare for rapid development in the next few years."

"The Huaxia automobile market will usher in explosive growth in the future, and whoever can seize this wave of opportunities will be able to be reborn and realize the sublimation of the enterprise."

"Nanshan has been committed to becoming the world's largest auto parts company, and it is also the world's strongest parts company."

"But it's not that easy to get there."

"Today, there are breakthroughs in gearboxes and engines, but there are still many challenges to overcome in other key functional parts of the car."

"Promoting the development of domestic independent brands is one thing, but it is also essential to supply parts to international giants such as GM, Ford and Volkswagen."

"This requires each company to face the strong in its own field and fight against others."

"The various lawsuits at the end of last year are a big explosion of grievances accumulated with other manufacturers in the past few years in the process of Nanshan's development."

"Although it is estimated that there will not be such a big case in the short term, Nanshan will continue to develop rapidly, and it will definitely violate the interests of more parts giants."

"At that time, not every lawsuit will be so smooth."

"Splitting the company's various businesses is also to avoid this risk to a certain extent, so as not to have problems in one section and drag down the development of the entire company."

In front of Fang Sisi, Cao Yang was willing to say more information.

This kind of concern is obviously not a good thing if it is exposed to other employees in the company.

But Fang Sisi is not an employee of his own company, everyone is a friend and has a close relationship, so naturally he can say more.

"There is indeed this potential risk, and those international giants will not easily give up their own interests, once they violate the core interests of others."

"Then whether it makes sense or not, people will use all kinds of means to come out."

Fang Sisi also stayed overseas for a period of time, often interviewed various enterprises, and had a better understanding of some business competition.

The struggle at home is sometimes very different from the struggle abroad.

But it's all brutal.

"Do you plan to stay at Huaxia Station in the future?"

"Interested in doing something else?"

Cao Yang felt that it didn't seem to be a matter to talk to Fang Sisi about work-related things all the time.

So when it was about the same time, I took the initiative to change the topic.

"How?"

"Does our Mr. Cao have any ideas?"

Fang Sisi is very smart, as soon as Cao Yang asked, she realized something.

"The idea has always been there."

"Whether it was the previous lawsuit with the national giants, or the collision between Autohome and various Internet companies some time ago, I realized one point, that is, the importance of publicity."

"So I wondered if there could be a voice position on the Internet that belonged to Nanshan."

"It just so happens that you are a professional in this field, if you are interested, Nanshan Investment can consider investing in a new type of Internet company, and you will be responsible for the related business."

As soon as Cao Yang said this, Fang Sisi fell into deep thought.

She was thinking about the meaning of Cao Yang's words, and she was also thinking about how much moisture there was in these words.

"The current Internet is basically monopolized by the four major portals, and it may be very difficult for Nanshan to grab the cake from them."

"And the traditional media is still very strong, and Nanshan wants to enter this field, not only to compete with Internet companies, but also to compete with traditional media."

Fang Sisi did not directly refuse, but expressed his concerns.

Nanshan is an industrial enterprise, although there is already an Internet company such as Autohome, but it is still engaged in industry in nature.

If you want to transform, Fang Sisi feels that it is not so easy.

"The portal is all-encompassing, doing everything, not proficient in anything, and it is not a field that Nanshan wants to enter."

"As for the traditional media, it is still very strong, but in ten or eight years, a large number of newspapers and magazines may go out of business, or they will survive."

"Except for a few relatively strong TV stations such as Huaxia TV, most local stations will definitely have a hard time in the future."

"On the contrary, the Internet industry is definitely a sunrise industry, and it will be in rapid development in the next ten years."

"The purpose of the establishment of Nanshan Investment is to take a share of the rapid development of the Internet, and then use it to feed the development of the industry."

"Otherwise, the core technology that Nanshan will develop next will be under great pressure."

"There are some things that you can't make without burning money."

Cao Yang looks at the problem from God's perspective, and naturally thinks very clearly and speaks very confidently.

This also conveyed some confidence to Fang Sisi.

"My family has never been very supportive of entrepreneurship."

"They're all people in the system, but it's not absolute."

"It's mainly up to me what I think, and I need to think about it."

Fang Sisi did not directly refuse, nor did he agree.

After all, Cao Yang's proposal was a bit too sudden.

This is also normal, so Cao Yang didn't say much.

Whether Nanshan Investment should be an angel investor by himself, or whether he should start a company directly, he has not completely thought about it.

From the perspective of profit maximization, I must have done it myself.

But it takes a lot of energy to eat alone, and he definitely can't take care of it.

……

"Mr. Wang, yesterday Zeng Tingting, the head of the sales department of Nanshan Group, came to explain to us their internal reform, and I think it seems to have a certain reference significance."

In BYD's canteen, Zhong Qiang sat in front of Wang Fu with a plate as usual.

"Nanshan's volume last year has gone to 30 billion, firmly occupying the top spot among domestic auto parts companies."

"Even the turnover of many automobile OEMs is not as high as theirs."

"In this case, it is inevitable to make certain institutional reforms, and our situation is still a little different from theirs, right?"

Wang Fu immediately guessed what Zhong Qiang wanted to say.

So I just said my opinion.

"It's really different, but I think we will definitely need to produce some parts by ourselves after the development of the automotive sector in the future."

"In particular, Mr. Wang, you mentioned before that we want to produce electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles, and there are no domestic manufacturers that can support us in this regard."

"It's more that we need to set up a special department to study."

"So I'm wondering if I can set up a special subordinate company like Nanshan? Or at the beginning, set up some business divisions, so that each business department can form an independent operation and self-responsibility system, and give full play to everyone's enthusiasm. ”

Zhong Qiang is an old man who started a business with Wang Fu, and he has a strong sense of belonging to the company, and the attitude of the owner is also very obvious.

So a lot of the time, he thinks from the perspective of the whole company.

This is also one of the reasons why Wang Fuhui appointed him as assistant to the general manager and concurrently head of the purchasing department.

"It is indeed necessary to develop each section as an independent business unit."

"But what I'm worried about now is that as long as Nanshan has the parts to produce, we will develop them ourselves, and we won't be able to do anything to others."

"How to choose the supplier of parts at that time is also a big problem."

As soon as Wang Fu said this, Zhong Qiang was also entangled.

As the head of procurement, he has a greater say in the issue.

If BYD wants to make a good car, it must need high-quality auto parts.

But if you have been relying on Nanshan, it seems that it is not a solution.

"Mr. Wang, why don't we start with the parts that are not involved in Nanshan, and then look at the situation later?"

After thinking about it, Zhong Qiang came up with a compromise plan.

For the time being, that's all we have to do for now.

"Didn't Nanshan propose to work with us on battery research before?"

"Is there any progress on the teams working with each other now?"

Wang Fu did not directly answer Zhong Qiang's question, but asked a more special question.

BYD started with batteries.

Battery technology is their best technology, even if it is placed in the world, it is also competitive.

But he was suddenly a little worried, if Nanshan engaged in batteries in the future, would it also surpass BYD?

That's the big deal.

"Nanshan attaches great importance to this project and has arranged hundreds of people to respond, but eighty percent of them are newly recruited college students, and more are here to study."

"So for the time being, there doesn't seem to be any big results, and I don't even think there will be any big results in the next few years."

When Zhong Qiang said this, Wang Fu breathed a sigh of relief.

However, I also realized that Nanshan wanted to make the battery thing, and it should be serious.

Otherwise, how could so many young employees come and learn?

"For the business department, you first put forward a plan, and then the company will discuss it."

"On the battery side, you can mention those technicians a little bit and let them also pay attention to protecting the company's secrets."

"How to grasp the degree of this, it's up to you."

After Wang Fu finished speaking, he stopped discussing this topic.

There's no way to say much about this.

……

Liu Tianwu has been in high spirits recently.

After his position was further promoted and he became the person in charge of the district, the first company to come to inspect was Nanshan.

"Mr. Cao, your establishment of a group company can be described as very timely."

"If you haven't moved, I can't help but urge you."

In the factory of the third phase of Nanshan Industrial Park, Liu Tianwu, led by Cao Yang, visited the newly put into operation ECU factory.

The situation in Nanshan Industrial Park changes every month, and Liu Tianwu basically visits the site at least once a quarter.

After all, the Nanshan Group contributes almost half of the region's GDP.

He just can't take it too seriously.

"Let the leader worry, the main reason is that there are too many things, and sometimes I forget to look up at the direction of development."

Cao Yang didn't explain too much, and found a reason that made everyone sound comfortable.

"I heard that you're going to consider building a factory in another country, is this rumor true?"

Obviously, this issue is what Liu Tianwu is most concerned about.

If the factory is placed in other places, it is equivalent to that part of the GDP also goes to other places.

Liu Tianwu definitely didn't want to see this kind of situation.

"Depending on the nature of the parts, such as ECUs, we will only produce them in the Yangcheng factory."

"However, if there are some parts with relatively large volume and high transportation costs, we will consider building a factory near the main engine factory in the future, which is also the customer's request, otherwise we will not be able to get the order."

"For example, the hot stamping production line of the Huaqiang factory can only be produced by building a factory near Great Wall Motors."

"Otherwise, the transportation fee alone can cost six or seven yuan for a part, or even more."

"The inventory of parts that are needed in the middle is also an additional cost."

"OEMs are unwilling to bear these costs."

Cao Yang did not avoid this question and gave his own answer directly.

Of course, he also dumped the pot on the OEM.

In fact, this is indeed true.

If the OEM does not ask for it, Cao Yang does not plan to build the factory so scattered in the future.

That's not good for management.

Now the offices of the sales department are distributed all over the country, which has made him feel the difficulty of management.

If this is a factory distributed all over the country and even all over the world, if there is no mature management system, there may be big problems.

This is what Cao Yang does not want to see.

Of course, in the future, when the organizational structure is sound and the work process is standardized, it will be a different matter.

"As a parts company, Nanshan naturally needs to fully consider the needs of the main engine factory."

"However, some parts are produced in a centralized manner, and the cost should also be advantageous."

"In terms of logistics costs, the district can also consider giving some subsidies in the future."

"Of course, I won't force you on some particularly large parts."

Liu Tianwu naturally still hopes that Cao Yang can leave the factory in Yangcheng.

However, the attitude is quite okay, everyone has a discussion, and even provides subsidies.

In this way, the atmosphere of the conversation is naturally more harmonious.

Everyone hopes that Nanshan will develop and grow and become a leader in the industry, with common interests.

It's just that before Liu Tianwu left, Cao Yang received bad news.
