Chapter 383 Thousands of bearing enterprises, but can not produce the bearings required for high-speed rail
The summary meeting of Nanshan Group was held for two days.
They not only reviewed the achievements of the past year, but also determined the direction of development in 2007.
Although Cao Yang has set some goals for each branch, none of them are more impactful and impressive than the group's turnover of more than 100 billion yuan.
With the determination of this goal, as the person in charge of the district, Liu Tianwu naturally knew it at the first time.
"Mr. Cao, thanks to the rapid development of the automobile industry, Yangcheng's GDP successfully broke through the 700 billion mark last year."
"Among them, our district has contributed more than 100 billion yuan, and your Nanshan Group has made great contributions."
"This year, Yangcheng has set a big goal of GDP exceeding 800 billion, and whether our district can complete the task of decomposition depends on the performance of Nanshan Group."
"If you need my assistance in the development process of your company, just say it, you are welcome."
2007 was also a very critical year for Liu Tianwu.
He is now the number one in the district, and whether he can quickly go up one step further in the future, the performance of Nanshan Group is also very crucial.
In this era, the importance of GDP is undeniable.
Although sometimes this view may not be recognized by everyone in later generations.
However, it has to be said that only when the economy develops, and everyone has more employment opportunities and more opportunities to make money, can we talk about other possibilities.
Otherwise, they will be fooled by others, saying that they should attach importance to this thing and that thing, but they do not want to say that they should pay attention to economic development, and in the end it will become a dish on other people's plates.
"Leader, don't you say that I'm also about to report to you."
Cao Yang naturally knows very well how much influence the Nanshan Group has on the district, and some things really need Liu Tianwu's help to coordinate.
For example, if you let Nanshan Group do all the problems of household registration, education, housing, transportation, etc., it is not impossible to do it yourself, but let the company do too many things other than the main business, and it will be difficult to turn around in the future.
It's better to leave these things to the district from the beginning.
"There are more and more employees in our company now, and many of them are settled near the industrial park."
"Of course, it's more about the employees who rent a house nearby."
"If you want these people to work in Nanshan Group, all aspects need to be taken into account."
"The district has helped to arrange and solve some problems such as kindergarten attendance, but there has always been a shortage of high-quality primary and secondary school places."
"I wonder if the district can set up a special school in Nanshan Industrial Park to solve the education problems of primary and secondary schools at the same time."
"Of course, I also know that there must be a unified plan for going to school in the district."
"Education funding is also relatively tight, in this regard, Nanshan Group can cooperate with the district, or directly with some provincial primary and secondary schools to take the way of cooperating with schools, we provide venues and funds, they provide teacher education."
Cao Yang is well aware of the importance of education in the hearts of Chinese parents.
To exaggerate, as long as there are high-quality schools to go to work in Nanshan Group, it is not so easy to dig people when other companies come to poach people.
After all, degree houses in high-quality schools are very expensive.
Now, as long as you work in Nanshan Group, you can have the opportunity to enter a high-quality school.
This potential attraction is huge.
"As long as Nanshan Group can solve the problem of space and funds, cooperation in running schools is not a problem at all."
"If you have a fancy for any school, I can directly come forward to coordinate."
"I don't dare to pack tickets for other things, but I will definitely help you with this matter."
Nanshan Group is now Liu Tianwu's treasure, and the matter of a school is not a problem at all.
He is even ready to give further preferential terms.
"Mr. Cao, I heard that some time ago, your group also introduced a support policy for interest-free loans to buy houses, hoping that more employees can buy houses and settle in Yangcheng."
"In our district, we can provide a plot of land for commercial housing next to Nanshan Industrial Park, and after finding a real estate company to develop it, we will sell it to the employees of Nanshan Group as a house purchase benefit for your group."
"At that time, the price of these houses can be two or three percent cheaper than other houses on the market, or even more."
"But you can also further improve the stability of your employees by limiting the time you can sell."
"Elementary school and junior high school can be arranged in this community."
As soon as Liu Tianwu said this, Cao Yang immediately became interested.
Welfare housing looks like a backward step back in history.
But there is no company whose employees do not want their company to have this welfare policy.
For example, in state-owned enterprises, engaging in this thing will easily cause all kinds of bad influences.
But for Nanshan Group, there are no such concerns at all.
When some places attract investment, they will also provide some commercial land to each other for the construction of some welfare housing.
So for Liu Tianwu, there is no policy resistance to this plan.
"Leader, I was thinking about how to ask you to mention this matter, but I didn't expect you to be anxious about what we are anxious about."
"I thank you for the welfare housing for tens of thousands of employees of Nanshan Group."
"Housing and education have been solved, which is really important for us to maintain the stability of our employees."
Cao Yang's words are not hypocritical.
For the Chinese people, these two issues are too important.
Many people toss around this theme all their lives.
"Some time ago, we also held a special meeting in our district, focusing on how to escort the development of enterprises.
"Among them, supporting the development of Nanshan Group is the most important issue."
"Housing, education and medical care are the most important issues for the people, and our district naturally attaches great importance to them."
"This year, we also plan to vacate a piece of land near the Nanshan Industrial Park to build a tertiary hospital."
"We've even been in contact with some real estate companies to build a large shopping mall nearby."
"At that time, the employees of Nanshan Industrial Park will not need to go out of the district, and they will be able to meet most of their daily needs."
Liu Tianwu knows very well that Nanshan Group is now receiving some inspection teams from all over the country every week.
The main task of these teams is not to study, but to dig into the wall.
And Nanshan Group has developed to the current scale, and Liu Tianwu also knows that sooner or later they will need to invest in other places to set up factories.
So one of the things in front of him is how to postpone the pace of Nanshan Group's outward development as much as possible.
As much as possible, let Nanshan Group set up all kinds of new factories in Panyu, which is the most important task in the district.
Otherwise, if a large number of new factories of Nanshan Group go to other provinces, not only will there be pressure in the district, but also in Yangcheng City and even Lingnan Province.
"The number of employees in our group is expected to exceed 50,000 this year."
"Behind this are almost 50,000 families, and their housing, education and health problems can be properly addressed, which is really a big deal for our group."
"Leader, I think the business environment in the district is getting better and better, and I can take this opportunity to further develop and make it a banner in the district."
Liu Tianwu took the initiative to help Nanshan Group, and Cao Yang was also ready to repay the favor.
For a figure of Liu Tianwu's level, what is the most important thing, Cao Yang is also very clear.
And the other party is also very smart, as soon as he heard Cao Yang's words, he knew that Cao Yang must have something in mind.
"Mr. Cao, if you have any suggestions, just mention them to me."
"Frankly speaking, some time ago, I went to Nanyang to investigate, went to many places, and realized some gaps."
"Although we have some advantages compared with the inner area, it is still difficult for enterprises to do some things, and some problems at the grassroots level cannot be completely solved in one or two days."
"I'm already aware of that."
Liu Tianwu directly handed Cao Yang a ladder, and wanted to see what Cao Yang could say along the ladder.
This time, Cao Yang was not polite, and directly threw out a very common thing in the later life.
"Leader, there are many new enterprises being set up every day, and there are many things that need to be handled by various enterprises throughout the year."
"But sometimes it's more troublesome to do one thing."
"The easiest thing is to open a new company, and there are a lot of departments to run."
"If we can build a government service center, where the clerks of various bureaus can work together, and enterprises only need to go to the government service center for what they need to do, then it will definitely greatly improve efficiency."
"If some of the supporting materials can be further simplified and each bureau can communicate with each other, then the satisfaction of enterprises and people will be higher."
As soon as Cao Yang said this, Liu Tianwu's eyes immediately lit up.
Government Service Center!
For him, the name is so meaningful.
Although Cao Yang only said a few words, Liu Tianwu was able to realize the meaning behind these words.
The point is that this thing doesn't seem to be that difficult to get started.
If it is done well, it may be promoted in the whole Yangcheng and even the whole Lingnan Province.
If it can be promoted throughout the country in the future, Liu Tianwu feels that the position under his ass will definitely be moved.
There is no reason why he should not support this kind of thing, which is of great benefit to both public and private.
"Mr. Cao, can you elaborate on the operation idea of the government affairs service center?"
"Judging from your words, I think this matter is completely wrong."
"Whether it is for the bureaus, or for the enterprises and the people, it is a very good thing."
"This is also very meaningful to promote the rapid development of our economy."
"I even think that this matter can be cooperated with Lingnan University of Science and Technology and promoted as a large research group, which is also very meaningful."
Liu Tianwu also knows that Cao Yang has a very good relationship with Lingnan University of Technology.
He couldn't eat such a big fruit alone.
Bringing Lingnan University of Science and Technology into the process is only good for this matter, not harmful.
Although colleges and universities are relatively independent, it is precisely because they are relatively independent that they can sometimes enjoy the benefits of foreign monks chanting scriptures.
Some reforms, if Liu Tianwu arranged them directly, although they could be done, they were not so persuasive.
Some opponents may even think that he is making a statement.
But if you can work with universities, it's a different story.
It's the same as some large companies like to ask consulting firms to help optimize some of their organizational structures and workflows.
Sometimes it's not because these consulting firms are really good at understanding organizational structure and workflow issues better than internal employees.
It's because if something pushes from the inside, the resistance is very great.
But if you can use the mouth of a consulting company to say it, then it is difficult for various departments to object.
Otherwise, why do you think the bigger the company, the more you want to find a consulting company to work?
That's because the larger the company, the greater the resistance to pushing forward with some reforms internally.
"Your proposal is very good, and I just have some simple ideas, which are not necessarily correct, and they may not be suitable for the district."
"If you can get the professors of Lingnan University of Science and Technology to help you with the staff, the probability of problems will be even lower."
Liu Tianwu can realize the value of his proposal, and Cao Yang is naturally willing to share it.
After all, if this matter is done well, it will also be beneficial to the development of Nanshan Group.
Although in the future, it is determined that it will also develop outward, and do not put all its eggs in one basket.
But the base camp is definitely in Yangcheng.
That night, when Cao Yang and Fang Sisi had dinner together, they also briefly talked about the content discussed with Liu Tianwu.
"Ayang, there will be these actions here in Panyu, in fact, they are all very normal."
"With the size of Nanshan Group, no matter where you go, these discounts can be enjoyed."
"During this time, many people came to me around the corner and wanted to ask Nanshan Group to invest in other places."
"2007 is a very critical year for Nanshan Group, and I think you can also think about where you need to go when you go out in the future."
"It just so happens that you are now considering starting to acquire and merge some companies, and in the future, it is logical that you can enter some other places to set up factories."
"Of course, when developing outward, there is no need to stop the layout of Yangcheng, and the relationship with the district also needs to be maintained simultaneously."
"As long as it makes sense, I will go first Liu Tianwu and they are not unacceptable."
"After all, you can shift the blame to the customer when the time comes."
"For example, Chery Automobile or Geely Automobile requires you to build a factory nearby to supply parts to reduce logistics costs and supply risks."
"It's also something that's easy to understand."
Fang Sisi's angle of looking at the problem is obviously relatively high.
She thinks that Nanshan Group will exceed 100 billion turnover this year, and in this case, if foreign investment is not considered, it may not be a good thing for the development of the enterprise.
At that time, Yangcheng will naturally think that Nanshan Group can only develop here, and some preferential treatment may not be considered for Nanshan Group.
There is competition to get better conditions.
This is true at all times.
"Well, you have a point."
"It is indeed necessary to set up a stronghold in the Yangtze River Delta."
"Whether it is from the perspective of nearby facilities, or better attract local talents, it is necessary."
"In particular, in the future, we will have a strong interest in the semiconductor, battery business, and electronics business, so we will need more diverse human resources."
"Compared with the magic capital and the imperial capital, Yangcheng's attraction to talents is still slightly worse."
What Fang Sisi said, Cao Yang can naturally understand.
It's just that in the past few years, Nanshan Group has a large number of projects every year, and if you put many businesses in other places too early, it will not be so convenient to manage.
Now that they are slowly on the right track, they can think about it.
In particular, the battery industry is still very dependent on materials such as lithium ore.
And in the process of processing and production, there are some pollution, which has been placed in Yangcheng, which is not necessarily a good choice.
When the time comes, it is most suitable to have a layout in the west, center, east and north.
Even after a few years, after the domestic layout is completed, it is necessary to properly consider the foreign layout.
Otherwise, you Nanshan Group says that it is an international enterprise every day, but it does not have any factory abroad, and it is unreasonable.
Sometimes, building a factory in a local area is also a sign of nomination to get a local order.
"Yes, the magic capital and the imperial capital still have the most high-end talents in the country, and if Nanshan Group wants to make a big breakthrough in the semiconductor and electronics industry, it will definitely be necessary to set up some research institutions in these two places in the future."
"Start planning this now, and when you have a good opportunity later, you don't need to be so entangled, you can make a decision directly."
Fang Sisi didn't directly urge Cao Yang to make a decision now.
After all, there is no such thing as a very suitable opportunity now, and it is no good to rush it.
"By the way, after Weibo went public, how did it develop overseas?"
As a star enterprise of Huaxia Internet, Weibo is now in full swing and is the darling of all kinds of capital.
Its every move has also attracted a lot of attention.
"Similar to what you said before, Weibo's overseas business development is not so easy."
"At the beginning, there was no resistance, but after a little bit of growth, all kinds of problems popped up."
"In this case, I followed your previous tips and began to invest in some local follow-up companies, intending to indirectly influence the markets in these places through equity investment."
"Especially in the United States, there is a rising star that is growing very fast."
"Obviously, they are not doing better than us in all aspects, but the number of their users is increasing rapidly."
When it comes to Weibo's business, Fang Sisi is also happy and worried.
Domestic affairs, she can naturally settle them.
But many things abroad are not so simple.
In particular, Weibo has exerted its power in China, but the resistance to its development abroad has become greater.
"Taking advantage of the relatively high value of overseas branches, it may be a more practical plan to sell some shares in a timely manner, cash out funds, and then invest in the way of saving the country through curves."
"At the same time, with these funds, Weibo can also consider investing in some domestic Internet companies."
"Around Weibo, we can give corresponding support policies to some start-up enterprises."
"You can learn from the penguins in this regard, I think some of their ideas are very good."
Cao Yang naturally knew that Weibo was going to develop overseas to the scale of China, which was not a matter of display.
Few countries can accept a company like Weibo, and it is a Chinese enterprise.
It's better to use this opportunity to sell a sum of money, and then take the limelight route and earn some less eye-catching money.
"After I went back, I arranged to set up an investment department within Weibo, and poached a few people from Sequoia and other venture capital institutions to start Weibo's investment business."
Fang Sisi is very confident in Cao Yang's vision.
Combined with the resistance encountered in the process of overseas development in the past year, she accepted Cao Yang's suggestion without any hesitation.
After figuring out the next development direction of Weibo, Cao Yang also began to worry about Nanshan investment.
The company's financial statements are now independent of the group's finance department.
Zhang Fugui, the general manager, did not even participate in the group's summary meeting.
This is also Cao Yang's conscious consideration of investing in Nanshan independently.
"Mr. Cao, our investments in the Huaxia stock market have been withdrawn one after another."
"According to your previous arrangement, our funds have also begun to prepare to enter the American market."
Zhang Fugui's ability is average, but his execution is relatively strong, and he is Cao Yang's uncle, so Cao Yang is still more relieved to let him be in charge of Nanshan Investment.
"Before the Spring Festival, we have to withdraw all the funds, and the next step is to start shorting Citibank."
When Cao Yang said this, Zhang Fugui was taken aback.
Nanshan Investment has been tossing in the stock market in the past two years, and Zhang Fugui himself is also actively learning this knowledge.
Although he doesn't need to do the specific trading, he can't even understand the K-line chart, right?
If your subordinates report you a bunch of professional words, and you can't understand them, it must affect the authority very much.
I don't even know if I've been sold.
This point does not need to be reminded by Cao Yang, Zhang Fugui himself can't accept it.
"The stock market in the United States is also rising very sharply now, although some people think that the bubble is more powerful, but when this bubble will burst, no one knows."
"We are rashly short, and it is very risky."
Zhang Fugui's words are not nonsense.
At this time, no matter who said that the economic bubble in the United States was about to burst, it is estimated that no one believed it.
Judging from the various data, it is very good, and I don't see the meaning of collapse at all.
Even Lehman, the company that triggered the financial crisis, is now performing very well.
Even long before its bubble burst, investors were confident in him.
Therefore, Cao Yang did not dare to easily arrange people to short Lehman's stocks.
Don't be embarrassed if you don't succeed in shorting and lose all your capital.
On the contrary, the story of the giant Citibank is not as rich as that of Lehman, and the stock price will not fluctuate so much.
Relatively speaking, the risk will be much smaller.
As long as you don't blow up, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money.
"You're right, but wealth is in danger, and investing must be risky."
"The greater the risk, the greater the benefit."
"Whether it's the stock market in China or the stock market in the United States, do you think it can continue to rise?"
Cao Yang asked rhetorically, and Zhang Fugui didn't know how to refute it.
Everyone knows that the stock market can't go up forever.
But in the current situation, I really don't see the meaning of going down.
Even the sweeping aunts have begun to move, and the prices of many stocks are simply one price a day.
"Then I'll really arrange for someone to completely clear the warehouse."
Although Zhang Fugui was reluctant in his heart, he did not dwell on it any longer.
Although Zhang Fugui is the person in charge of Nanshan Investment, he is now mainly responsible for financial investment.
In terms of venture capital, most of the time Cao Yang actually grasps it himself.
Or to put it another way, Nanshan Investment still has relatively few venture capitalists.
Except for some video sites, the others are not very involved.
As for Nanshan Film and Television and Autohome, they are relatively independent.
Cao Yang directly found Yu Yu and Zhang Songwen to understand the situation.
"Mr. Cao, CSR Group suddenly contacted us and wanted to invite us to participate in the localization project of high-speed rail bearings."
"How do you think we should answer?"
Cao Yang had just finished meeting Zhang Fugui when Dai Hanbiao came over.
The bearing business of Nanshan Group is placed in the branch of Nanshan Auto Parts.
Although many of the bearings are used in machine tools and robots, it stands to reason that they have nothing to do with auto parts.
But many things are connected, and it doesn't make much sense to split into several companies, so I don't split them at all.
At most, the bearing business will be independent from Nanshan auto parts in the future.
"CSR Group?"
"High-speed rail bearings?"
Cao Yang's interest came up at once.
In the field of automotive bearings and machine tool bearings, Nanshan Group is already one of the leaders in the industry.
In Huaxia, there is almost no opponent.
The high-speed rail bearing on time is really not involved.
China's current high-speed rail distance is the longest in the world, and it will continue to develop rapidly in the next ten years.
But it seems that the high-speed rail has been localized, and it is inevitable that some parts are imported from abroad.
Shafts, hubs, bearings, these three parts are very inconspicuous parts, but they are very critical parts.
Among them, the shaft and hub parts, after more than ten years of efforts, have solved the problem of localization to a certain extent, and the situation of stuck neck is not so obvious.
However, in terms of high-speed rail bearings, they are almost all dependent on imports.
Schaeffler and SKF in Europe, NTN in Dongying, and Timken in the United States are all major suppliers of high-speed rail bearings.
It is said that the price of bearings sold by these manufacturers to Huaxia high-speed rail enterprises is ten times the normal market price!
It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that it is a huge profit!
"Yes, although this thing is a part of the subdivision, the demand is very strong every year."
"If we succeed in conquering the business of high-speed rail bearings, I think it is no problem to contribute billions of turnover a year alone."
"This part is a consumable product on the high-speed train, and after driving a certain distance, the bearing needs to be replaced."
"With the increase in the mileage of high-speed rail, the market will continue to expand."
"Even if the high-speed rail is saturated in the future, there is no need to worry about no orders."
Dai Hanbiao is obviously very interested in high-speed rail bearings.
However, this field was not covered by Nanshan Group before, so he definitely had to report to Cao Yang and then see how to move forward.
"I'll go with you to meet the people of CSR and see what their attitude is."
"There are a lot of bearing companies in China, such as Luo shaft and other enterprises, and the level is also OK."
"This time they will take the initiative to find us, what does it mean, we have to figure it out first."
Is it really rare Nanshan Group, value the technical level of Nanshan Group, or just accompany the run.
Cao Yang must figure this out.
Otherwise, in order to study high-speed rail bearings, a large number of test equipment or something will be launched, which will be a complete waste.
"No problem, I'll make an appointment with the people of CSR later, and see if I can communicate with them tomorrow afternoon."
After Dai Hanbiao finished speaking, he immediately started calling.
For the visit of Nanshan Group, CSR is also very positive.
After all, no one wants to be stuck by Schaeffler and other imported manufacturers.
"Mr. Cao, I heard that Nanshan Bearing in the field of auto parts and machine tools, SKF, NTN and other foreign bearing giants lost their armor, it is really happy."
Receiving Cao Yang was Nie Jian, the chief engineer of CSR.
This old man in his fifties looks very elegant.
"I'm ashamed, up to now, we have only accounted for less than half of the domestic automotive bearing market share, and there is still a long way to go before the foreign giants really lose their armor."
On such occasions, it is natural to be modest.
Cao Yang's grasp of this scale is also very clear.
"It's not easy, and the bearings used in the gearbox, engine, wheel hub, etc., are very critical."
"Nanshan Bearing can force SKF and other manufacturers to retreat in these fields, and the technical level is unparalleled in China."
"In fact, in order to build a modern industry, we can say that we have made great efforts in bearing manufacturing."
"As a result, in the 50s, the bearing industry developed by leaps and bounds."
"In one fell swoop, we broke the previous dependence on imported bearings, and made considerable achievements in many fields such as design and materials."
"But objectively speaking, we still have a big gap compared with the international bearing giants."
"This is especially true in the field of high-end bearings."
"Before the emergence of Nanshan bearings, our main focus was on the production of low-end bearings."
"The number of bearings exported every year is not small, but in the high-end field, the number of imported bearings is far less than exports, but the value of imports is much higher than exports."
"High-speed rail bearings are typical representatives."
Nie Jian went around and officially cut the topic to the high-speed rail bearing.
He also knows that Nanshan Group is different from ordinary suppliers, so Party A's awareness is not so strong.
This made Cao Yang and Dai Hanbiao feel their sincerity.
"In 1991, during the operation of the 1479 train of the Lan/Zhou/Railway Bureau, the cage was ruptured due to the heat caused by the bearing jamming, which caused a serious derailment accident."
"Many other railway companies at home and abroad have also encountered accidents caused by bearing problems."
"This makes us pay more attention to railway bearings."
"However, we have also encountered setbacks on the road to the development of railway bearings."
"Before 2001, the large state-owned enterprises Northwest Bearing Railway Bearings accounted for 40% of the country, NXZ is a national well-known trademark, and profits and taxes are the local pillars."
"On December 18, 2001, Northwest Bearing and Schaeffler signed an agreement to establish a joint venture Northwest Fuanjie Railway Bearing Co., Ltd."
"Schaeffler contributed 4,345,200 euros in cash, accounting for 51% of the registered capital."
"Northwest Bearing invested 4.1748 million euros in NXZ brand, General Administration license, and equipment plant, accounting for 49% of the registered capital."
"When the joint venture was put into operation, we quickly discovered that Schaeffler had not carried out technical transformation and effective management in the first two years, and at the same time had emptied the Chinese management personnel."
"In the first year, the joint venture lost 9.8 million yuan, and in the second year, it lost 13 million yuan."
"The joint venture company has lost money for two consecutive years, the market has shrunk significantly, and the joint venture company is facing the prospect of either being recovered by Northwest Bearing or being wholly owned by Schaeffler."
"Northwest Bearing is in financial difficulty, in fact, there is only one possibility."
Nie Jian continued to introduce some background related to high-speed rail bearings there, which gave Cao Yang a more direct understanding of the story behind this part.
"On December 17, 2003, Northwest Bearing transferred 49% of its equity to Schaeffler at a price of RMB 27.87 million.
"Schaeffler has the legal right to produce railway bearings."
"Northwest Bearing has lost the NXZ brand railway bearing brand."
"What is even more depressing is that after Schaeffler became a sole proprietorship, Fu'anjie, which enjoyed the production qualification of Huaxia Railway Bearings, quickly turned its losses into profits."
"So the current situation has become an ordinary railway bearing, many markets are occupied by international bearing giants, and the localization of high-speed rail bearings is no progress." "There are thousands of bearing companies in China, but they can't produce the bearings needed for high-speed rail, which is really heart-wrenching."
When Nie Jian said this, he also rubbed his chest.
Obviously, as the chief engineer of CSR, he has experienced a lot of things and has deep feelings about this matter.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be tempted to rub my chest there.
"I have been to learn about the bearing steel produced by Nanshan Special Steel, and the performance does not belong to most of the imported bearing steel."
"Even many parameters are much better than imported high-end bearing steel."
"Bearing steel, as an important raw material in bearing manufacturing, can be specially named, indicating that it itself is different from ordinary steel in terms of overall material performance."
"However, this top bearing steel technology has long been monopolized by developed countries, and it is difficult to break through in a short time."
"And what is even more ironic is that many of the base metals of imported bearing steel are exported by us domestically."
"After these materials were processed, they were sold to domestic manufacturers at more than ten times the price."
"Nanshan Special Steel was able to develop its own high-end bearing steel under such circumstances, which broke the jobs of many imported manufacturers, and I am very impressed."
"This time, the General Administration is ready to promote the localization of high-speed rail in an all-round way, and take down the hard bone of high-speed rail bearings, and I first thought of Nanshan bearings."
"Of course, some other domestic companies are also involved."
As the chief engineer of CSR Group, Nie Jian's technical level is naturally very high.
Because of this, he has a clearer understanding of the difficulty of high-speed rail bearings.
"Previously, Luozhou also tried to produce some high-speed rail bearings in small batches, but compared with imported bearings, I found that there are many gaps."
"For example, the vibration of the bearings, the noise emitted during operation, and the life of the bearings."
"In terms of average service life, Schaeffler bearings are about three times longer than Rocker's shafts."
"The noise of imported bearings is 10 decibels lower than that of domestic bearings on average."
"On the one hand, these data show that China's bearings are indeed inferior to others, and on the other hand, they also point out the direction for the future development of our bearings."
"Nanshan Group, as the most technologically advanced private enterprise in domestic auto parts and industrial equipment, I personally have very high expectations for you."
"In particular, your equipment business is doing very well, which is of great significance to the research and development of high-speed rail bearings."
"So far, we don't even have a high-speed test frame for high-speed rail bearings, and no one wants to sell them if they want to import them."
"In this case, in order to study qualified high-speed rail bearings, it is necessary to simultaneously study some relevant test equipment."
"Nanshan Group has an advantage in this regard."
"I just don't know if you're willing to accept the challenge!"
After Nie Jian said this, he looked at Cao Yang with expectant eyes.
Although there is no Nanshan Group to participate, Nie Jian also believes that domestic bearing manufacturers can overcome this technical difficulty sooner or later.
But I don't know how long this time is.
Even in the best of times, it would be three or five years later.
If there are some problems in the middle, it is not surprising that it may be ten years before it succeeds.
However, if Nanshan Group participates in it and goes all out, he is confident that high-speed rail bearings will be localized in the next three years.
Of course, his confidence is also based on Nanshan Group's strong performance in the past few years.
This is the enterprise that has won the most national science and technology progress awards among domestic private enterprises.
It is also the existence of the highest technical level in the domestic equipment and auto parts industry.
In particular, automatic transmission products have made a name for themselves internationally.
All these made Nie Jian full of expectations for Nanshan Group.
Even if Nanshan Group has never been involved in railway bearings before.
But what does it matter?
Some of the basic principles of bearings are the same regardless of where they are mounted.
"Mr. Nie, if Nanshan Group successfully develops a high-speed rail bearing with the same performance as imported bearings, then can our orders be handed over to Nanshan Group to do?"
Before answering Nie Jian's question, Cao Yang first threw out a question.
First the villain, then the gentleman.
So as not to cooperate unpleasantly in the future!
There are some things that should be asked clearly.
