High-speed rail is a business card worthy of the pride of Chinese people.

Huaxia can build the world's leading high-speed trains and high-speed rail network, and no other country can build such a safe, efficient and extensive high-speed rail network as Huaxia.

However, the bearings that support the operation of high-speed rail locomotives are restricted by foreign countries and have long relied on imports.

This makes many laymen wonder how difficult it is to have high-speed rail bearings and why it is difficult to make technological breakthroughs.

One of the most important reasons for technological backwardness is the lack of talent.

Originally, there were bearing majors in colleges and universities and engineering colleges, but now they are in other majors, and there are fewer professional talents, and it is natural that technology cannot keep up.

Of course, the late start of the foundation is weak, and the implementation of technical blockade overseas is also an important reason why it has not been able to overcome high-end bearings.

The manufacture of high-speed rail bearings involves a wide range of disciplines, and Schaeffler and other bearing giants are very leaders in both heat treatment technology and sealing and lubrication technology.

And it is often high-end technology that is the key to having a high-end industry.

This is also the reason why foreign high-speed rail bearings are far superior to Huaxia in terms of service life, accuracy, vibration and reliability.

Good steel makes good bearings.

The materials required for high-end bearings, bearing steel, high-carbon steel, carbon content is generally 1%, chromium content is 1.5%, the requirements are very pure, less impurities, and uniformity, the diameter of the crystal, the particle size uniform requirements are very high.

Although Huaxia was able to produce the steel required for bearings, it did have some defects.

Even Nanshan Special Steel has not been involved in the field of high-speed rail bearings before.

In addition, high-speed rail bearings have not been localized, and there are reasons why the equipment and tools used in processing are not good.

The precision of the production equipment of domestic bearing manufacturers is not very high.

Machine tools, for example, have poor vibration resistance and have problems with grinding wheels, grinding discs, coolant and process parameters.

However, foreign production equipment, intelligent tools, and high-end CNC machine tools do not have these problems.

However, this aspect is the strength of Nanshan Group, which has basically caught up with its international counterparts.

It has even surpassed its peers in some segments.

In this case, Nanshan Group is naturally the most likely manufacturer to realize the localization of high-speed rail bearings.

But in business, Cao Yang doesn't want to make wedding clothes for others.

If the time comes, Nanshan Group will develop high-speed rail bearings, but CSR Group will require technology transfer or something.

It is certainly unacceptable to even put pressure on Cao Yang from the moral high ground.

I have to earn the money for the products I develop.

At most, Schaeffler and other manufacturers earn ten times the profit of one bearing, and I only earn two or three times.

It's a win-win.

Whether it is directly asking for supply at cost price or transferring technology, it is definitely not possible.

And as long as I can do it, and the price is still advantageous, you have to give me most of the orders.

Otherwise, Nanshan has invested so many resources in research and development, is it really for love to generate electricity?

"Mr. Cao, I can tell you with certainty that as long as Nanshan Group really develops high-speed rail bearings that are comparable to imported bearings, then future import orders will be handed over to you to do."

"There's no reason for us to go to someone else to import it."

Nie Jian is clear that the R&D investment of high-speed rail bearings involves all aspects, and a lot of investment is required.

Bearing steel, testing equipment, bearing production equipment......

These require a lot of manpower and material resources.

If the money is spent, the products are out, but the market doesn't get it, then it will definitely not work.

This is not the original intention of CSR.

"And I can also help communicate with CNR, as long as Nanshan Group can produce high-speed rail bearings, their locomotives will also use your products."

Nie Jian saw that Cao Yang didn't nod immediately, and immediately added his own conditions.

CSR and CNR are now two relatively independent companies, and they have not been merged so quickly.

Between the two can even be said to be competitors now.

However, on the high-speed rail bearing, everyone's thoughts are actually the same.

Otherwise, Nie Jian wouldn't dare to say such a thing.

The high-speed rail bearing localization project is no longer a simple parts localization project, but a project with a special height.

No one would dare to fool around with this kind of thing lightly.

"If this is the case, then the high-speed rail bearing localization project, we Nanshan Group has taken over!"

"We have also studied some of the previous technical requirements yesterday."

"Although there is no way to give a very certain time, but within three years at the latest, our Nanshan Group will definitely come up with qualified high-speed rail bearings."

"If all goes well, maybe next year there will be results."

As soon as Cao Yang's words came out, Nie Jian was overjoyed.

"Mr. Cao, can it really be done in three years?"

Obviously, for Nie Jian, being able to do it in three years is already a good result.

After other bearing companies took over this task, they didn't even dare to give the prediction time.

As for Cao Yang's statement that there will be results as soon as next year, he should not have heard it.

In his opinion, the bearing steel should be studied, the test equipment should be studied and produced, and the process of the high-speed rail bearing itself needs to be studied......

All aspects of preparation may not be finalized this year.

The possibility of coming up with qualified products next year is almost zero.

"I heard that China now spends hundreds of millions of dollars on importing high-speed rail bearings every year."

"In the future, it could become billions of dollars, or even billions of dollars."

"Such a big cake, Mr. Nie, you have already placed it in front of us."

"Naturally, I'm going to eat it in the shortest amount of time."

Cao Yang gave his reply in a happy mood.

Others don't have confidence in high-speed rail bearings, can he still have them?

If it weren't for the fact that the bench equipment or anything hadn't come out at that time, there was no way to prove that his bearings met the requirements, and he dared to say that there would be qualified products at the end of this year at the earliest.

"Good!"

"Ambitious!"

"As long as Nanshan Group really produces qualified high-speed rail bearings within three years, I Nie Jian will definitely help you get all the orders!"

Nie Jian patted his thigh, his face full of excitement and made a promise.

Objectively speaking, his approach is definitely impulsive in the workplace.

Especially as the chief engineer of a state-owned enterprise, it is not good for him to make such a promise.

Next, the two sides made a detailed exchange on the specific technical parameters of high-speed rail bearings, and then Cao Yang and Dai Hanbiao went back with a batch of high-speed rail bearing samples from various imported manufacturers.

A big piece of fat is placed in front of him, or to grab orders from Schaeffler and other European and American bearing giants, Cao Yang's enthusiasm is naturally very high.

Therefore, on the same day, the people of Nanshan Special Steel, Nanshan Equipment and Nanshan Auto Parts were called together to set up a high-speed rail bearing project team, which was officially launched within the group.

"The geographical span of the Huaxia high-speed railway is large, and the bearings are required to adapt to various climates and harsh environments."

"When running on the railway, once a failure occurs, it will directly affect the entire railway transportation system, so high-speed railway has strict requirements for bearings."

"Moreover, even if the quality of high-speed rail bearings is resistant to high temperature and wear, they still have to be replaced with new ones every 1 million kilometers."

"This indirectly shows the high quality requirements, but also shows that the market prospect of high-speed rail bearings is broad."

Cao Yang looked at the participants and officially started the meeting.

"The bearings used in high-speed rail are mainly axle box bearings, gearbox bearings, traction motor bearings, cooling fan bearings and other series of shafts."

"The axle box bearing directly supports the high-speed rail vehicle, which is the high-speed rail bearing in the general sense that everyone understands."

"This kind of bearing is the most used, and it is what we need to break through the most."

"If this bearing is damaged, it can have a serious impact on the safe operation of the vehicle."

"Schaeffler avoided this problem by using high-purity bearing steel, an optimized bearing internal structure, and non-destructive testing of the material."

If the high-speed rail bearing simply relies on the existing technical personnel to develop, there is a high probability that it will not be developed within three years.

In the past, Luozhou Shaft cooperated with Anshan Iron and Steel and other institutions, and finally it took more than ten years to develop qualified high-speed rail bearings from 2007.

And not all models of high-speed rail bearings are not yet available.

In this case, since Cao Yang promised Nie Jian to make high-speed rail bearings within three years, he naturally wanted to personally bring technical personnel to engage in research and development.

Therefore, he prepared to start the research direction of high-speed rail bearings and related equipment and materials with technicians during this time.

"The choice of sealing method and sealing material of axle box bearing has a great impact on bearing life."

"We need to make further determinations based on surface velocity and environmental conditions."

"In response to the need not to disassemble bearings for a long time, we have adopted grease degradation suppression and plastic cage technology to prevent grease leakage and external foreign matter from entering."

"The gearbox bearing is installed on the pinion shaft and large gear shaft of the gearbox, and Dongying manufacturers mostly use tapered roller bearings."

"However, European manufacturers use cylindrical roller bearings and ball bearings for pinion shafts."

"If the pinion shaft uses tapered roller bearings, the axial clearance must be adjusted during installation."

"The meshing vibration of the main gear of the gearbox bearing leads to the fatigue failure and wear of the cage, which is solved by soft nitriding surface treatment of the cage."

Obviously, the technical content of this bearing is also quite high.

These simple introductions don't seem to have much content, but it's not easy to produce them smoothly.

Although the people present also have some understanding of bearings, they are also the first time to contact high-speed rail bearings.

In this case, naturally, they are all listening carefully and taking notes.

As for why Cao Yang knew some of the situation of his competitors, they didn't bother with it so much.

Some information can still be gathered if you just need time to investigate.

But just because you collect it doesn't mean you'll be able to cook.

For example, nitriding surface treatment, everyone understands what it means, and can understand this principle.

But how the specific treatment process should be set is completely blind.

Another example is the adjustment of the free clearance, everyone knows that it needs to be adjusted to the appropriate position.

But what is the right location?

Again, this is an unsolvable problem.

As for things like lubricating fluids and greases, it's even more fantastical.

Who doesn't know that good lubricating fluid and grease have a great impact on the performance of high-speed rail bearings.

But if you know it, whether you will know it or not, whether you understand it or not is another matter.

Fortunately, Cao Yang didn't expect to say it once, and the high-speed rail bearing was successfully developed.

This is simply unrealistic.

"Traction motor bearings are the only transmission components in brushless motors in trains."

"Bearing life has become the maintenance interval that determines the motor, and Schaeffler has improved the bearing performance of traction motors by changing the grease base oil, improving the grease pocket, using plastic cages and ceramic rolling elements."

"In this case, the further use of insulating materials in the outer ring of the bearing can effectively prevent the problem of galvanic corrosion."

"The requirements for cooling fan bearings are similar to those for traction motor bearings."

"For all-electrically driven, inverter-controlled, three-phase asynchronous motors, the use of such motors increases the risk of current passing through the rolling bearings and severely damaging the raceways."

"Therefore, the research and screening of insulating coatings is very critical."

"The gearbox and motor combination used in the hybrid model being studied by Nanshan Gearbox should also have a certain analysis of the bearings under this working condition."

"When the time comes, we can send some technical personnel from their project team to support."

Obviously, Cao Yang attaches great importance to high-speed rail bearings.

The Buddha fights for a stick of incense, and people fight for a breath.

Nanshan Group is now the largest bearing manufacturer in China, but all high-speed rail bearings need to be imported.

To some extent, this is also a slap in the face of the Nanshan Group.

If you can't do high-end products, no matter how much you do low-end products, everyone will not think that this industry is your best industry.

"Due to the fast starting acceleration of high-speed rail locomotives, short braking distances and faster running speeds, this requires high-speed rail bearings to have high reliability, strong impact resistance and the ability to withstand changing impact loads under high-speed and high-acceleration operating conditions."

"Taking the several types of high-speed rail train units that Chief Engineer Nie explained to us yesterday as an example, it is estimated that the load of each set of bearings is about 68.7KN, the maximum rolling element load is about 7.6KN, and the contact stress between the inner ring raceway and the roller is about 810MPa."

"When the speed of the high-speed rail is 300km/h, the bearing speed is about 1730r/min."

"In terms of bearing service life, locomotive bearings with different operating speeds have different requirements."

"The specific data can be divided into several tiers. The quality and shelf life of the key bearings of high-speed rail locomotives running at speeds of less than 200km/h is 900,000 kilometers or 4 years. ”

"And the service life is not less than 2.8 million kilometers, and the service life is more than 10 years of mandatory scrapping."

"Bearings with a speed greater than 200 km/h are maintenance-free within 1.2 million kilometers, and are scrapped after overhauling and then used to 2.4 million kilometers."

"The bearing service life of high-speed rail locomotives running at speeds above 300km/h is 350-5 million kilometers, and the reliability of 500,000 kilometers is 99%."

"Of course, this is a design requirement, and in the actual use process, in order to be 100% safe, a discount will be made on this basis."

"Changing the axle box bearing once every 1 million kilometers is based on this consideration."

Dai Hanbiao also attended the meeting yesterday, and Cao Yang has already explained it for a long time, so he naturally wants to share the relevant requirements with you.

"The requirements for high-speed rail bearings are so high, in addition to the high requirements for processing precision, the requirements for bearing steel are also very high."

"Bearing steel has the title of 'King of Steel', and it is one of the most demanding steel grades in steel smelting."

"China's high-speed rail EMU axle box bearings are all double-row tapered roller bearings."

"This kind of bearing is mainly composed of four parts: inner ring, outer ring, rolling element and cage."

"The material of the inner and outer rings and rolling elements of the bearing is mainly bearing steel, and this high-speed rail bearing mainly works in the state of high-speed and heavy-load movement, and the service conditions are extremely harsh, and the requirements for bearing steel are very high."

"The first is that in terms of metallurgical quality, the oxygen content should be less than 10 ppm; The calcium content should be less than 10 ppm; The inclusions were 1.5 grade ≤ B fine ≤, 1.0 grade D fine ≤, 0.5 grade D coarse ≤, 1.0 DS ≤ grade, and 1.5 grade of banded tissue≤ ”

"Then there's the high contact fatigue strength required."

"The contact fatigue life of high-speed rail bearing steel should reach the 9th power of 10 cycles at 4000MPa, and the ultimate strength of bending fatigue should be greater than 900MPa under the 7th power of 10 cycles."

"Then there's the high level of wear resistance."

"Rolling bearings are accompanied by rolling friction and sliding friction when they work normally."

"The main parts where sliding friction occurs are the contact surface between the rolling element and the raceway, the contact surface between the rolling element and the cage pocket hole, and the cage and the ferrule guide flange."

"If the wear resistance of the bearing steel is poor, the rolling bearing will lose its accuracy prematurely due to wear, resulting in a reduced service life of the bearing."

"Therefore, high-speed rail bearing steel must have high wear resistance."

With Dai Hanbiao's introduction, Xie Lingyun, general manager of Nanshan Special Steel, also frowned.

With such high requirements, this is much higher than the bearing steel used in today's hub bearings.

Don't look at these parameters, it seems that you already know, but how to produce it is not easy at all.

"In addition to the requirements just mentioned, the right hardness is also a must."

"The hardness of rolling bearings directly affects the life of rolling bearings."

"The hardness of the bearing is usually determined according to the overall situation of the bearing bearing load and size, bearing size and wall thickness, the hardness should be appropriate, too large or too small will affect the service life of the bearing."

"The surface hardness of carburized steel and components for high-speed rail bearings used by CSR Group is not less than 820HV."

Hearing Dai Hanbiao talk about carburized bearing steel, Xie Lingyun couldn't help but ask, "Carburized bearing steel?" Not a high-carbon chromium bearing steel? ”

Obviously, the bearing steel produced by Nanshan Special Steel is a high-carbon chromium bearing steel.

Otherwise, Xie Lingyun wouldn't have asked like this.

"Carburizing bearing steel is a high-quality low-carbon alloy steel, which has the characteristics of high strength, impact resistance, high surface wear resistance and contact fatigue performance after carburizing heat treatment."

"Compared with high-carbon chromium bearing steel, carburized bearing steel has better core impact toughness, which is very suitable for manufacturing high-speed railway bearings that are subject to large impact loads."

"After all, high-speed rail bearings will bear large shock loads during service."

"Therefore, bearing steel is required to have a certain impact toughness."

"The original intention of using carburized bearing steel is to ensure a high hardness and wear-resistant surface, while also having high strength, toughness and hardness in the core. Generally, the yield strength of the core is not less than 1100MPa, and the tensile strength is not less than 1300MPa. ”

As soon as Dai Hanbiao explained this, Xie Lingyun had no way to refute anything except frowning.

This is certainly not Dai Hanbiao's own requirements, but the research and development direction given by CSR Group according to the situation of imported bearings.

"This time the bearing steel requirements are very high, in addition to the processing technology control requirements of Nanshan special steel, the crude steel of the base metal must also be carefully selected."

"This point should be clearly explained to Shaogang, so that they can also attach importance to this project."

Cao Yang also put forward a note in a timely manner.

"In the field of bearing steel, our Nanshan special steel is already at the leading level in China."

"However, we mainly do bearing steel for automobiles and machine tools, and have not produced bearing steel for railways."

In that field, Xingcheng Special Steel and Anshan Iron and Steel have more experience than us. ’

"Mr. Cao, in order to develop the bearing steel used in high-speed rail bearings that meet the requirements as soon as possible, I want to dig a group of senior engineers from Xingcheng Special Steel or Anshan Iron and Steel at a high price."

Xie Lingyun knows that now is not the time to complain about how difficult it is to complain.

How to find the right way to solve the problem is what he needs to consider.

On his own, he did not have the confidence to make such a high-demand bearing steel.

Otherwise, do you really think that so many steel mills in China are all eating dry rice?

At this time, it is necessary to dig up a group of talents to come over and work together.

Otherwise, they don't know where to start.

He even wondered if he could come back from a few engineers from abroad.

It would be even better if there were SKF's bearing steel R&D engineers.

"No problem, you dig boldly."

"I will also arrange someone to find a way to find some information on bearing steel for high-speed rail, and then we will stand on the shoulders of giants to develop it, and the progress should be relatively fast."

Cao Yang will definitely need to help at that time and take out some bearing steel formulas for high-speed rail bearings.

When the time comes, what Xie Lingyun will think of these formulas needs to be considered in advance.

With Cao Yang's words over there, Xie Lingyun would most likely think that Cao Yang had arranged for someone to obtain the bearing steel formula of other manufacturers through various methods such as commercial espionage.

Anyway, most steel companies have not applied for patents for this kind of thing.

As long as you can master this method, it will be difficult for others to sue you.

Of course, if Nanshan Special Steel wants to apply for patents in these subdivisions, then other companies can quickly imitate it.

Therefore, some high-precision technologies are not suitable for patenting.

"After the high-performance materials are solved, the rest is high-quality processing, high-speed rail bearing manufacturing involves many disciplines, Europe and the United States due to the mastery of ultra-long-life steel technology, refined heat treatment technology and advanced sealing and lubrication technology, etc., to produce high-quality bearings."

"This also leads to a large gap between domestic and foreign high-speed rail bearings in terms of accuracy, bearing vibration, life and reliability."

"At that time, Nanshan equipment needs to design some machine tools."

"In particular, the grinding machine for bearings plays a very important role in accuracy."

Dai Hanbiao also began to assign tasks to Nanshan equipment at this time.

In this high-speed rail bearing project team, Cao Yang is nominally the patriarch, and he is the deputy leader.

But some of the coordination work and daily management and communication work must be in his responsibility.

Otherwise, if everything is waiting for Cao Yang, it is not realistic at all.

"This should not be a big problem, our machine tool technology is not to say that it is leading in the world, and there is no problem in maintaining a level with the international advanced level."

"In terms of processing equipment, there is not much essential difference between high-speed rail bearings and automotive bearings."

"We just need to do some adaptation."

"On the contrary, heat treatment technology and sealing lubrication technology need to be studied by Nanshan Auto Parts."

Pan Jinxing was the calmest one among the people present.

Bearing steel is very difficult to do.

The processing technology of bearings is very difficult.

However, the bearing processing equipment is not so difficult for the current Nanshan equipment.

At least relatively speaking, the difficulty is not that high.

"As long as we can successfully develop high-speed rail bearings, we will be the well-deserved king of more than 1,000 bearing manufacturers in China in the future."

"Some bearings in other industrial fields do not need us to run orders, and will take the initiative to come to the door."

"Therefore, this time the research and development of high-speed rail bearings, we must pay full attention to it."

"I will also participate in the actual R&D work, and strive to have a specific R&D direction after the Spring Festival, so that Europe in various departments can start to move."

At the kick-off meeting, there will not be too many special details of the R&D direction.

These things need to be reviewed by everyone, and after simulating them on the computer, they can start to propose a plan and make a sample for confirmation.

It doesn't seem like such a complicated thing, but it actually takes a lot of time to get it done.

However, the people of Nanshan Group are full of enthusiasm.

In the past, they fought manufacturers such as SKF and NTN to the death in the field of automobiles and machine tools.

If they can continue to beat them on high-speed rail bearings, then the living space of these foreign bearing giants in China is really small.

Of course, CSR Group convened several domestic manufacturers to engage in high-speed rail bearings, and the action was not small.

In addition, some people have a good relationship with Schaeffler, SKF and other manufacturers, so there is naturally no way to keep these things completely confidential.

Soon, Scheffler's men learned about it.

"Zhang, your news is not new at all."

"CSR and CNR want to find qualified high-speed rail bearing suppliers in China, and it is not something that is just happening now."

"But after all these years, have they found a qualified supplier?"

As the general manager of Schaeffler Huaxia, Tops has lived a very comfortable life in the past two years.

Although Schaeffler's reputation in automotive bearings is not as loud as that of SKF and NTN, there are many bearings in Mercedes-Benz and BMW's cars, which are actually produced by them.

The most important thing is that Schaeffler has a relatively high market share in the field of high-end bearings such as high-speed rail bearings and wind power bearings.

The profit margin of bearings in these fields is much higher than that of automotive bearings.

The same is a turnover of 100 million, and the profit of automobile bearings is only more than 10 million.

But put it on the high-speed rail bearing......

Tops was reluctant to share this data with the people in Huaxia.

After all, high-speed rail bearings are produced by the headquarters, and imported by Huaxia Branch for sale.

The biggest profits are left at the headquarters.

"Tops, it's a little different this time."

"CSR specially invited Nanshan Group to participate in the public relations of high-speed rail bearings, and it is estimated that all kinds of information they have collected in the past have been shared with Nanshan Group."

"I am not very worried about other bearing manufacturers in China, whether it is Luozhou or ZWZ, or universal and human-oriented."

"At their current level, it is impossible to produce qualified high-speed rail bearings in another ten years."

"But Nanshan Group is a little different, they have made opponents such as SKF and NTN suffer a lot in terms of automotive bearings."

"Even China's domestic machine tool companies have purchased bearings from Nanshan Group."

"The key is that Nanshan Group can not only produce bearings themselves, they can also produce bearing steel and machine tools."

"We have also done some research on the bearing steel produced by Nanshan Special Steel before, and their level is really good, and some of the performance is even better than our automotive permanent bearing steel."

As the sales director of Schaeffler Huaxia, Zhang Guoyi is naturally very concerned about the company's business development in Huaxia.

Now high-speed rail bearings and wind power bearings are the company's main sources of profits.

He was able to get a high annual salary of one million in 2007, which has a lot to do with the company's good performance in the past two years.

He didn't want to lose his job at any point.

"I know what you said, but high-speed rail bearings are not the same as automobile bearings, and they are not even a level of existence at all."

"Nanshan Group can produce good wheel bearings for automobiles, which does not mean that they can produce high-speed rail bearings."

"With this time, you might as well promote wind power bearings, I think this is also a blue ocean market."

Tops is very confident in Schaeffler's technology.

The high-speed rail bearings they produce are all imported.

Domestic engineers are not clear about many contents of high-speed rail bearings.

Or maybe you know it but don't know why.

Schaeffler and SKF and other peers also have a certain tacit understanding not to import any high-speed rail bearing-related technology and talents into Huaxia.

In this case, if the Chinese manufacturers can produce high-speed rail bearings comparable to Schaeffler, Tops will not believe it in any case.

At least he thinks it's unlikely to happen in the next decade.

So when Zhang Guoyi came over and reported to him that CSR Group had convened several domestic bearing manufacturers to engage in technical research, he was not nervous at all.

"That ......"

Zhang Guoyi hesitated, and finally didn't say anything.

Although he is already the sales director, the company still has the final say.

He has already said that, if Zhang Guoyi still reports this matter to the headquarters, it will definitely be wearing small shoes.

Don't think that foreign companies are really heaven.

When it's time to engage in struggle, people will not be merciful at all.

However, although Zhang Guoyi did not toss this matter within the company again, he did not want to waste this news.

"Gormo, SKF's business in China, except for high-speed rail bearings, has been beaten by Nanshan Group."

"Of course, I don't think that's good, I hope you don't mind."

In a clear bar in the magic capital, Zhang Guoyi made an appointment with Gormo, the sales director of SKF.

For example, some European and American companies, if the position of sales director has been held by Huaxia people, the development in Huaxia is often better than those companies that continue to be held by foreigners.

Many European and American giants are also slowly realizing this, so in the Huaxia branch, the number of Huaxia executives is increasing.

Schaeffler's development speed in China in the past two years is significantly higher than that of SKF.

This is also somewhat due to Zhang Guoyi's contributions.

"Zhang, you asked me out, didn't you just want to taunt me?"

"If yes, then congratulations, you've made it."

Holm looked at Zhang Guoyi a little unpleasantly.

They're old acquaintances, too.

In fact, the sales directors of several bearing giants know each other.

They even get together on a regular basis.

Especially in the subdivisions of high-speed rail bearings and wind power bearings, they have many matters that need to be communicated.

"Holm, didn't you know me the first day, am I such a boring person?"

Zhang Guoyi spread his hands and didn't tease Gormo, "I heard a piece of news and I think it should have a certain effect on you, so I want to share it with you." ”

"Nanshan Group, an old rival, you should know it very well, right?"

Hearing this name, Golmo's face suddenly turned unpleasant.

This is a pot that can't be opened.

If it weren't for Nanshan Group, he, the sales director, would have become the general manager of Huaxia Branch.

How is it possible that after so many years, it is still standing still?

"As long as it is a bearing, there is no one in China who has not heard of Nanshan Group, right?"

I didn't understand what Zhang Guoyi was selling in the gourd, so Gormo asked rhetorically.

"That's right, that's exactly what you said."

"They have brought a lot of trouble to everyone in terms of machine tool bearings and automotive bearings."

"The original high-profit industry has been made into what it is now."

"I believe that not only you SKF, but also other manufacturers such as NTN and Enske have very big opinions on Nanshan Group."

"Before, everyone was glad that Nanshan Group was only working in these fields and did not follow us to grab other markets."

"But now the bad news is coming."

As soon as Zhang Guoyi said this, Golmo slowly figured out a little taste.

"Is Nanshan Group going to do something new?"

"High-speed rail bearings! They're going to engage in high-speed rail bearings! ”

"What? High-speed rail bearings, they also want to engage in it? ”

Gormo's first reaction was not whether Nanshan Group could make high-speed rail bearings, but why Nanshan Group didn't leave a way to live for itself.

He has suffered too many losses at the hands of the other party, and his confidence has been hit a lot.

"Yes, I have received accurate information that CSR Group is contacting several domestic bearing manufacturers in China to engage in the localization project of high-speed rail bearings."

"Among them is the Nanshan Group."

Zhang Guoyi replied very affirmatively.

This made Holm's face look much more ugly all of a sudden.

Some time ago, due to the fact that Nanbei Volkswagen switched the bearing orders of Nanshan Group back to SKF, he obviously felt that his life had become more comfortable.

The future is promising.

But within a few days of this good day, the situation changed.

Is this playing for yourself?

"Zhang, you may not have a full understanding of Nanshan Group, but we at SKF have done a comprehensive investigation and research on Nanshan Group."

"CSR Group found Nanshan Group to engage in high-speed rail bearings, although I don't know when it can be made, but it must be able to be done in the end."

"You need to make this clear to Tops."

Holm gave his judgment very solemnly.

He knows too much about the situation of the Nanshan Group.

This is definitely an opponent to be taken seriously.

"I also think so, but Tops doesn't think that Huaxia's bearing companies can produce qualified high-speed rail bearings."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have consulted you about future countermeasures."

Zhang Guoyi hopes that SKF can do something, otherwise if the situation continues, it is estimated that everyone will not have a few years of good life in China.

"Arrange people to inquire about the progress of Nanshan Group's high-speed rail bearing project at any time, as long as they are willing to spend money, they can finally get some news."

"In addition, we also want to let China's high-speed rail manufacturers see our awesomeness, and don't always think about replacing us."

"Now that they have brought Nanshan Group in, then we can join forces and find a reason to start raising prices from the next batch of parts."

Holm was very straightforward in his proposal.

High-speed rail bearings are now monopolized in the hands of several of them, no matter how much the price rises, in the end the south and north cars can only accept.

Otherwise, there would be no bearings to use.

Just like the chip crisis in later generations, a chip that usually costs 5 yuan will sell you for 500 yuan in the market, and you will not buy it if you like to buy it.

Anyway, if you want to continue to buy chips for 5 yuan, then you have to wait, until you can't afford to wait.

Nowadays, the tricks used by Golmo on high-speed rail bearings are actually similar.

Of course, the situation of high-speed rail bearings and chips is different after all, and the specific operation aspects will definitely not be exactly the same.

"Price increase?"

"In this case, isn't the price increase a further stimulus for Chinese people to engage in localization work?"

Zhang Guoyi looked at Golmo in surprise.

Before that, he really hadn't thought about this plan.

"That's right, since Huaxia manufacturers are going to enter this field sooner or later, they want to kick us out."

"Then let's just make more money and further increase our profits."

"Even if the business shrinks a bit, we will make enough money."

When Holm said this, Zhang Guoyi found that he had no way to refute it.

However, whether there will be any consequences for this kind of bad attitude, he is also a little unsure in his heart.
