When Nanshan Equipment continued to obtain new orders in the hot stamping production line, other business divisions of Nanshan Group did not rest.

Especially as a key high-speed rail bearing this year, after half a year of hard work, there is finally an expected result.

"Mr. Cao, we are currently trying to produce several models of high-speed rail bearings, whether it is from the comparison of material properties or the comparison of various parameters of the bearings, can meet the requirements of CSR Group."

"At present, we have officially submitted the samples and reports to the other party."

"If nothing else, these products are ready for mass production."

Dai Hanbiao and Xie Lingyun came over to Cao Yang to report the research progress of high-speed rail bearings.

A technology they thought might take years to get it right was making significant progress in six months.

This achievement is definitely worth mentioning.

Even if there is a lot of technical information provided by Cao Yang, the final results must also be Nanshan special steel and Nanshan auto parts.

"Mr. Cao, our high-speed rail bearing steel, after adding rare earth elements in the steelmaking process, reduces the wide range of inclusions that affect the fatigue life of the steel by 50%."

"Combined with vacuum degassing and smelting technology, the quality and purity of the ultra-high-purity bearing steel produced by SKF are already one grade higher than that of SKF's own high-speed rail bearing steel."

"So far, whether it is Anshan Iron and Steel or Baosteel, or Wuhan Iron and Steel and Shougang, the technology in this area is far behind us."

"Even if it is the best Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., it used electric furnace steel before, and there is a relatively obvious gap with foreign countries in terms of purity."

"That alone is a huge breakthrough."

"In the future, some ordinary railway locomotives will use bearings, even if they don't come to us for production, they can also find us to buy bearing steel."

Xie Lingyun is also in a very good mood today.

Whether Nanshan Group can obtain orders for high-speed rail bearings has not yet been finalized.

However, Nanshan Special Steel's new breakthrough in the field of bearing steel is real.

Material properties, one is one, two is two, and the results can be obtained after direct testing.

Obviously, the results are very positive.

"Although Huaxia's bearing technology is not particularly high, Huaxia's bearing output is the world's leading."

"There are thousands of bearing enterprises in the country, but if you want to make high-end products, you need to use imported bearing steel."

"After we have made these breakthroughs in bearing steel, we can indeed make good use of it in the future and make Nanshan special steel bigger and stronger."

At present, the production capacity of Nanshan special steel is only 500,000 tons a year, which is nothing compared with the crude steel production capacity of hundreds of millions of tons a year in Huaxia.

Therefore, it is necessary to expand it appropriately, Cao Yang is supportive and necessary.

Otherwise, when the time comes, Nanshan Group itself will still need to buy steel from outside, which is a bit too much.

"Mr. Cao, I heard from the people of CSR before that they have been forced to accept the price increase notices from Schaeffler and other manufacturers."

"Basically, the high-speed rail bearings that have been used since July are after the price increase."

"We can come up with high-speed rail bearings that meet the performance requirements at this time, which is definitely a very meaningful thing for the development of high-speed rail in China."

"I think we can cooperate with CSR to promote it, and they should also have this demand."

There are many products that Nanshan auto parts can get their hands on, but there are not many products that can attract the attention of ordinary people like high-speed rail bearings.

After all, their products are all TO B, and the average person will not pay attention to it at all.

The situation is different due to the blessing of the special halo of high-speed rail.

"It is indeed necessary to pay attention to the propaganda work, and we have done it in Nanshan Group because so many domestic manufacturers can't do it."

"As long as the publicity is good, you can completely leave everyone with the best impression that the bearing technology of Nanshan Group is the whole China."

"At that time, even in some bearing fields that we have not yet touched, there will be many opportunities to take the initiative to send them to the door."

"And this matter is very beneficial to enhance the brand reputation of Nanshan Group."

"This will indirectly promote the sales of Nanshan robots, Nanshan equipment and other related products."

Regarding Dai Hanbiao's proposal, Cao Yang naturally has no opinion.

Schaeffler, SKF and NTN are bearing companies that make so much money in the field of high-speed rail bearings, and it is time to clean them up.

"Then I'll contact the people of CSR later, and ask them to be interviewed by the media with us?"

With Cao Yang's approval, Dai Hanbiao naturally hopes to implement this matter immediately.

"Yes, such a news, not only Lingnan Satellite TV is interested, but Huaxia TV must also be very interested."

"However, there will be some doubts about the authenticity of this news."

"You can ask CSR if it is necessary to organize an expert review to make a complete conclusion on this matter."

Cao Yang's approach to some domestic things is also relatively clear.

Relying solely on the test reports and samples provided by Nanshan Group itself, it is estimated that many people are skeptical.

But after the expert review, the situation is different.

It's equivalent to someone's formal endorsement.

Anyway, the data of the bearing are real, and I am not afraid of the so-called experts picking thorns there.

However, in this way, the news that Nanshan Group has conquered the high-speed rail bearing will naturally spread in the industry soon.

"Tops, I just got a message from CSR that Nanshan Group has successfully developed a high-speed rail bearing."

Scheffler, Zhang Guoyi came to Tops's office with a heavy heart.

Schaeffler was able to gain the largest share of the high-speed rail bearing market, and naturally there were some well-connected people who helped.

The annual sales expenses are not spent in vain.

Every year, Schaeffler helps more than a dozen students to study in Europe, and the water is very deep.

Huaxia parents, when it comes to things related to their children, that attitude is completely difficult to look at with common sense.

Especially for the parents of some students whose grades are not very good, there are a lot of things they are willing to pay in order to give their children the opportunity to study in prestigious schools.

Cao Yang even heard about a certain beautiful mother, in order to let her children go to key primary schools, she actually took the initiative to send "benefits" to other principals.

If you have the opportunity to let your child study abroad in a prestigious school, and all you need to pay is some company information, there are definitely many people who can do this kind of thing.

"Zhang, today is not April Fool's Day, what are you kidding?"

Tops apparently didn't believe the news that Zhang Guoyi inquired about.

Half a year ago, Zhang Guoyi reported to him that CSR Group had found several Chinese enterprises to jointly tackle high-speed rail bearings.

There is the Nanshan Group in it.

But how long has it been now?

This has already developed high-speed rail bearings?

That's not how storytelling is told.

"Tops, although I also think this thing is a bit incredible, there are too many incredible things that have happened to the Nanshan Group."

"They dare to organize expert reviews now, and they must have their own confidence."

"Among those experts, there are also some who are more familiar with us, and we will be able to obtain some relevant parameters at that time."

"In this case, it is very difficult for Nanshan Group to cheat even if it wants to."

"Besides, these parts are going to be installed on the high-speed rail, and if there is a problem with the quality, it will be a big problem."

"I believe that neither CSR Group nor Nanshan Group will dare to cheat on this matter."

Zhang Guoyi explained this, and Topps's expression changed slightly.

He can understand this.

But it is unbelievable that such a thing as a high-speed rail bearing can be done in half a year.

"You first arrange someone to understand the situation clearly, and we don't rush to report to the headquarters, otherwise we will be regarded as a joke."

Tops said this, although Zhang Guoyi had some other ideas, he could only accept it.

Soon, however, he received more specific information.

None of this news was what he wanted to see.

"Kormo, have you heard about the expert review meeting of localized high-speed rail bearings held by CSR over there?"

At the critical moment, Schaeffler certainly did not want to face difficulties alone.

SKF and NTN's share of the high-speed rail bearing market is not as large as Schaeffler's, but it is not a lot.

Now that Nanshan Group has come in to grab the market, it is no wonder that they are not in a hurry.

So as soon as Zhang Guoyi called Golmo, the other party came out to get together.

"Judging from the current situation, Nanshan Group has only completed the development of a part of the high-speed rail bearing project."

"And before the parts are not loaded and used on a large scale, CSR should not be fully switched immediately."

"The General Administration also has some concerns, so we still have time to think about the corresponding plan."

Golmo's heart is actually very panicked, but in front of Zhang Guoyi, a competitor and partner, he doesn't want to mess up.

"You're right, but it's a very bad sign."

"If Nanshan Group's high-speed rail bearings really meet all the test requirements and the performance is not worse than ours, then they can produce a few specifications, and they can also produce dozens of specifications."

"Our business will definitely be affected by that time."

Zhang Guoyi feels that sometimes communicating with these foreigners is really tired.

They are sent from Headquarters and return to China after a certain period of time.

The market changes on Huaxia's side, as long as they do not occur during their tenure, will not affect their promotion.

Therefore, there will be many things that give up or damage long-term interests for the sake of current interests.

However, in Zhang Guoyi's view, the emergence of Nanshan Group will not only damage everyone's long-term interests, but also damage the current interests.

If Gormo wasn't nervous in this situation, he wouldn't understand.

"Didn't we mention the bearing price increase to CSR at the beginning of the year?"

"Now Nanshan Group has been able to make high-speed rail bearings, but the initial investment must be relatively large, and the yield rate will not be very high."

"I don't think they'll be able to afford it."

"In this case, if we reduce the price of high-speed rail bearings, maybe the attitude of CSR or the General Administration will also change."

"After all, as long as the price is acceptable, they shouldn't want a change."

Golmo has been in China for many years, and he has a good understanding of the national conditions here.

So although I was a little panicked in my heart, it wasn't that I didn't have any ideas.

"The price reduction is definitely going to be reduced, and continuing to maintain such a high price will only stimulate the Chinese people to further accelerate the speed of localization and replacement."

"However, how much price to reduce is not something we can directly determine, and it needs to be discussed by the headquarters."

Although Zhang Guoyi is not particularly aware of the most real cost of high-speed rail bearings, he knows that the profit margin is very huge.

It's so big that it's beyond the imagination of most people.

In this case, if it is only a few points of price reduction, it obviously does not make any sense.

Even if the price is reduced by 20% or 30%, the effect is not necessarily very obvious.

After all, there was a price increase at the beginning of this year.

"We're all going to report back internally to see how much price reduction we can accept."

"Then we also tried to find a way to inquire about the situation of Nanshan Group to see if we could figure out their costs and selling prices."

"Only when we understand these things can our next move be more targeted."

After Holm and Zhang Guoyi finished chatting, they immediately went to action.

With the expert review team officially passing the acceptance of the high-speed rail bearing localization project of Nanshan Group, the publicity work jointly promoted by CSR and Nanshan Group can be regarded as a formal start.

[Review: High-speed rail bearings rely on imports? China's bearing enterprises, can not produce high-speed rail bearings? 】

[What are the parts of bearings used in high-speed rail vehicles? 】

[There are shortcomings in Huaxia high-speed railway, bearings need to be imported in large quantities every year, is it really not good to have domestic bearings? 】

[Break the 30-year technology monopoly!] High-speed rail bearings are domestically produced, and Germany and Japan have sold us at 10 times higher prices]

[High-speed rail bearings rely on imports? Thousands of bearing enterprises in China can not produce bearings required for high-speed rail? 】

All sorts of articles soon began to appear online.

For example, this kind of article that is biased towards positive energy, even if Nanshan Group does not come forward to promote it, various portals will actively promote and write it.

Of course, since we want to take this opportunity to enhance the brand power of Nanshan Group, so that more ordinary people also know about Nanshan Group.

Cao Yang will definitely not let the news go out of his way.

Not to mention the hot search on Weibo, there are several news related to high-speed rail bearings, that is, on Autohome and various forums, you can also see high-speed rail bearing-related topics.

Some of the content is not simply to brag about Nanshan Group, but to give you the technical difficulty of science high-speed rail bearings, and to review the grievances we have suffered in the past so many years.

Only by fully understanding the difficulties of the past and recognizing the technical content can we know how significant it is for Nanshan Group to conquer the high-speed rail bearing technology this time.

At the same time, Fang Sisi also made full use of the previous resources in Huaxia Station, and contacted the reporter of Huaxia Station to directly conduct an exclusive interview with CSR and Nanshan Group.

Part of this interview will not only appear in news reports, but will also be broadcast in some programs of the financial channel.

It can be said that in just one week, the four words of high-speed rail bearing are completely out of the circle.

It is a bearing part that looks very boring, but it attracts a lot of attention.

The name of the hero of Nanshan Group has naturally entered the field of vision of many people.

In particular, some people found that Nanshan Group can not only produce high-speed rail bearings, but also provide various parts such as engines and gearboxes to OEMs.

Even after learning about it, I found that many parts on my car were also produced by Nanshan Group.

As for the name of Xingchen Automobile, it is even more needless to say.

Originally, its popularity in China was the most famous among the various business divisions of Nanshan Group.

There is no way, who let Nanshan Group So far, other business divisions have basically sold products to OEMs, and only Xingchen Automobile is directly sold to ordinary consumers.

"Mr. Cao, just now I heard that Schaeffler and SKF have jointly contacted our purchasing department, and now the high-speed rail bearings that are being supplied to CSR have all prices reduced by 30%."

"On top of that, they're going to drop another 30 percent next year."

"It's all your work."

Nie Jian was in a very good mood at this time.

The localization project of high-speed rail bearings was originally being pushed by him.

Even in the face of some internal resistance, he did not back down.

I didn't expect the results to come out so quickly now.

"Our group was able to develop high-speed rail bearings so quickly, which is inseparable from the technical requirements that your company has accumulated in the past."

"It was you who brought Nanshan Group into the field of high-speed rail bearings."

"Mr. Nie, our production line has been working day and night, and we can supply related parts on a large scale in three months at the earliest."

"And some other specifications of bearings have also been developed and verified, and there will be results this year."

"It is preliminarily expected that by the first half of next year, at least half of the bearings used in domestic high-speed rail can be delivered on a large scale."

"Some other special specifications of bearings can also be developed within next year."

Schaeffler and these manufacturers will cut prices to stop themselves, which is something Cao Yang has long expected.

So Nie Jian told himself the news, and he was not nervous at all.

As CSR or the General Bureau, it is impossible for Nanshan Group to immediately switch all parts to Nanshan Group after developing high-speed rail bearings.

Not to mention that there are some grades of bearings that have not yet been developed, even if all of them have been developed, it is not this kind of thing.

In case something goes wrong with the bearings of Nanshan Group, it will be a lot of fun.

So it's inevitable to observe for a while.

This is not to say that the General Administration or CSR Group should regret and refuse to hand over the relevant bearings to Nanshan Group.

"Good!"

"Great!"

"Nanshan Group can localize all bearings, so we are one step closer to the goal of 100% localization of our high-speed rail parts."

"At that time, the bearings used in this year's loading have basically been verified for a period of time and can be promoted on a large scale."

"Schaeffler's price, even if it is reduced by 50%, is still very high."

"This time, your Nanshan Group is definitely a great contributor to the development of China's high-speed rail."

"Mr. Cao, I suggest that you apply for the National Science and Technology Progress Award at that time, with the importance of high-speed rail bearings, not to mention the first prize, the third prize is absolutely no problem."

"At the same time, I also officially invited Nanshan Group to participate in our next key parts localization project."

Nie Jian's voice changed, and a new bombshell was thrown at Cao Yang.

This raised Cao Yang's sense of expectation.

This kind of project that can make a name for itself and make a lot of money, I have no reason to refuse.
