Sometimes, a phone call can make all the difference in the mood of the day.

However, for Cao Yang, Zhang Jiaqi's call is obviously not so powerful.

"Mr. Cao, it seems that the news I just heard is true, Aisin and Yangcheng Automobile Group will hold a signing ceremony tomorrow."

"Aisin will produce two products, 4AT and 6AT, in this joint venture plant, and sell 8AT automatic transmissions for Yangcheng Trumpchi."

"It seems that some companies still have illusions about mastering transmission technology."

Ji Hua sneered, obviously not so optimistic about the joint venture company of Yangcheng Automobile Group.

The strength of Nanshan gearbox is definitely not what everyone sees now.

"It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married."

"They think it's a good thing for them that the joint venture produces gearboxes, so let them give it a try."

"You always have to try it before you know if it's good or bad."

"After the establishment of the joint venture company of Yangcheng Aisin in the future, if the price of the same product is higher than that of Nanshan gearbox, Yangcheng Trumpchi will indeed switch us out, then we will go to Yangcheng City to talk about it."

"Is this a disguised loss of state-owned assets?"

"Is there something in this that needs to be explained?"

"Let's see how they end up then."

There are many ways for Nanshan Group to deal with a joint venture transmission company.

As long as the QCD competitiveness of Nanshan gearbox can always cover food and accommodation, many things are not a problem.

"Shall we not react this time?"

"I'm worried that after their signing ceremony tomorrow, more OEMs will take the initiative to discuss a joint venture with Aisin."

Ji Hua said a little worriedly.

"It's not necessarily as exaggerated as you say, for example, BYD, nine times out of ten, it won't take the initiative to talk to Aisin about a joint venture."

"There are also Chery and Chang'an, there is a high probability that they will not do this."

"Manufacturers who have pursuits are not necessarily very interested in joint ventures."

"There are no manufacturers who pursue it, and there will be no great interest in joint ventures."

"Only those manufacturers who don't have good technology but want to show their efforts will be interested in Aisin's proposal."

"Of course, if Aisin really devotes itself to sharing the transmission technology with the joint venture partners, so that the joint venture plant does not become a simple production plant, then there will definitely be many interested manufacturers."

"But I think Aisin should be reluctant."

"If he is really willing, then he is digging his own grave, and when the time comes, the joint venture party will definitely have new ideas after they really get the technology."

Cao Yang's point of view, Ji Hua breathed a sigh of relief after hearing it.

Although it sounds a little twisty, when you think about it, you will feel that the truth seems to be true.

The situation is not so bad.

Aisin's influence is not as great as it seems.

Nanshan Group is no longer a small enterprise in Huaxia, and if it really uses its strength to deal with some manufacturers, there are still many tricks that can be used.

"Mr. Cao, then let's ignore the situation of Yangcheng Aisin for now?"

"Don't worry about it for now, let's see what they can make a name for!"

After Cao Yang finished speaking, he added: "As soon as possible, the low-end CVT and the high-end 10AT will be mass-produced, and then we will have more cards in our hands." ”

If you have confidence, no matter what situation you face, you don't need to panic.

But if you don't have the confidence, even a little wind and grass will make you very uncomfortable.

Undoubtedly, the current Nanshan Group, the current Nanshan gearbox, is still very confident.

……

"Editor-in-Chief Fang, I just got a blockbuster news that Yangcheng Automobile Group and Aisin are going to establish a joint venture to produce automatic transmissions."

On the NetEase Auto Channel, Lin Jiayan came to Fang Dawen's office in a hurry.

For an automotive channel, it is the happiest thing to be able to grasp important industry news that other media have not grasped, and then take the lead in reporting it.

But as the transmission of information becomes more and more convenient, it becomes more and more difficult to achieve this goal.

"Yangcheng Automobile Group actually wants to establish a joint venture with Aisin?"

"Aren't they afraid of off the Nanshan gearbox?"

"Aisin, this is going to make trouble."

Fang Dawen's eyes lit up, put down the mouse, and chatted with Lin Jiayan with great interest.

"Before the Nanshan gearbox came out, Aisin was very arrogant in China."

"Not only are 4AT products very expensive, but 6AT products are not willing to be sold for money."

"In the past few years, the Nanshan gearbox has packed up Aisin enough, and it is estimated that Aisin has also learned from the pain and began to reconsider seizing the Chinese market."

"After all, the Huaxia auto market is likely to become the world's largest auto market this year, and if Aisin completely loses the Huaxia auto market other than Toyota, it will definitely be a very big loss."

"But the angle they choose to attack is really tricky."

"Yangcheng Automobile Group is willing to take risks to cooperate with them."

Lin Jiayan combined the information she had and quickly gave her own analysis opinions.

She had just arranged for someone to send out a newsletter, and she was going to write a long analysis article to report on the matter later.

According to Lin Jiayan's understanding of the Huaxia auto parts industry, the emergence of such a joint venture company as Yangcheng Aisin will definitely bring a lot of impact to the industry.

Especially during this period of time, the popularity of Nanshan Group in China can definitely be described as popular fried chicken.

Many competitors of Nanshan Group do not dare to touch the tiger's butt easily.

Now that Yangcheng Automobile Group and Aisin have come out with such a joint venture, it will definitely attract the attention of many well-intentioned people.

When the time comes, everyone will pay attention to the reaction of the Nanshan Group.

Once Nanshan Group has no reaction, Lin Jiayan feels that there will be many people who follow the trend and learn from Yangcheng Automobile Group.

"It seems that this time Aisin should have made a bloody investment and showed some sincerity."

"Yangcheng Automobile Group must have seen some dry goods before making up its mind to cooperate with the other party."

"A few years ago, this kind of cooperation was at best to build an assembly plant, buy parts from Aisin, and then simply assemble them in the joint venture factory and sell them to an affiliate of another joint venture partner."

"In the end, most of the profits were taken by Aisin, and the joint venture partners just took a sip of soup."

Although Fang Dawen is not clear about the specific content of the cooperation between Aisin and Yangcheng Automobile Group, he can guess it with a little speculation.

"No matter what kind of cooperation they make, we just need to get the news out as soon as possible."

"This time, Autohome should not be able to steal the limelight from us."

Lin Jiayan thought that she was crushed by Autohome every time, and she felt a little aggrieved in her heart.

She felt that her skills were not bad at all.

It's just a little bit of luck.

Soon, the NetEase Auto Channel further reported that Aisin Group and Yangcheng Automobile Group jointly established a joint venture to produce gearboxes.

This took the autohome by surprise, which was staring at its rivals.

"Mr. Yu, did you just see the news on the NetEase Auto Channel?"

He Ling rushed to Yu Yu's office with the computer.

For her, if the content reported by the NetEase Auto Channel is true, then the significance of this news is not ordinary.

She felt the need to contact Nanshan Group immediately, contact Nanshan Gearbox, and tell the other party about this matter.

"I just saw it, and I've already called Mr. Cao."

"But Mr. Cao seems to have known this information in advance."

Yu Yu was obviously still a little confused.

She didn't know why Cao Yang wasn't worried at all?

"Then Mr. Cao has any instructions?"

"Do we need to write a separate article criticizing Yangcheng Automobile's practice?"

"Or expose how some foreign parts giants in the past cheated domestic joint venture partners?"

The ass decides the head.

He Ling is a person from Autohome.

Autohome is a subsidiary of Nanshan Group.

So He Ling must be on the side of the Nanshan gearbox.

"Not for now, we'll just follow the trend and report on this matter."

"Let's take a look at the reactions of other peers, and also look at the reactions of some other OEMs."

Yu Yu shook his head, gave up the idea of continuing to think about some things, and then began to arrange for He Ling to do the next thing.

Although this kind of news is not a good thing for Nanshan Group, if Autohome does not even report it, then it will obviously lose the authority and fairness of the platform.

So the report is definitely going to be reported.

It's just that I won't go through a long story to report on it.

This is one of the most common means of news and propaganda.

I don't lie, but I do tell the truth selectively.

So even if someone who knows the inside story sees this kind of news, it is difficult to complain directly to others, after all, what they say is true.

But people who don't know the inside story can easily feel another way when they see this kind of news.

That's what the platform wants to achieve.

Sure enough, soon, the car channels of other portals also took action.

And many domestic OEMs have naturally begun to know about this.

"Mr. Wang, I heard that Aisin and Yangcheng Automobile Group are talking about a joint venture for a transmission factory, and it only took a few days."

"This negotiation efficiency is unprecedented."

"From this result, it can be seen that Aisin should be quite sincere."

"And in the end, in the joint venture, Yangcheng Automobile Group occupies 40% of the shares, which is not low."

Wei Qiang, as the director of the purchasing department of Great Wall Motors, is naturally also very concerned about the procurement of gearbox parts.

Great Wall Motors itself does not yet have the capacity to produce transmissions.

But now the gearboxes of all models are purchased from Nanshan Gearbox, and they are certainly not particularly satisfied with this situation.

How to change this situation, Wei Qiang is also thinking.

It doesn't make sense to simply give a part of the share to other transmission manufacturers such as Aisin or ZF, if the cost becomes more expensive.

However, it has been monopolized by Nanshan gearbox, so Great Wall Motors always has no way to stand up in the face of Nanshan Group.

Therefore, when Wei Qiang saw the news that Yangcheng Automobile Group and Aisin had established a transmission company to jointly produce 4AT and 6AT automatic transmissions, he immediately felt that Great Wall Motors could also consider establishing a joint venture with Aisin to establish a transmission company.

Aisin's sincerity, Yangcheng Automobile Group has helped Great Wall Motors to inspect.

With Great Wall Motor's sales last year and its influence in China, Wei Qiang feels that he should be able to get good conditions from Aisin that are not inferior to Yangcheng Automobile Group.

Of course, before contacting Aisin, he must have obtained Wang Ying's approval.

Otherwise, it might turn a good thing into a bad thing.

After all, no company leader wants to see his subordinates make decisions on major matters.

"Aisin, this is also a thousand dollars to buy horse bones."

"Quickly cut through the mess and reach a cooperation agreement with Yangcheng Automobile Group to establish a joint venture transmission factory, which can achieve mass production next year."

"This can attract a group of companies that are interested in producing their own gearboxes."

"We, Geely, and Chery may be interested."

"As for state-owned enterprises such as Xifeng Automobile Group and Didu Automobile Group, it is needless to say."

Wang Ying could see at a glance that Yangcheng Automobile Group and Aisin Group had their own good calculations.

However, this time she is a little optimistic about Aisin's actions in China.

In terms of advanced technology and cost control methods, Nanshan Group is the best at it.

Aisin's joint venture plant is difficult to achieve a lower cost of gearbox than Nanshan gearbox.

In this case, it is estimated that there will be resistance to the promotion of Aisin's joint venture products, which are one level lower in technology.

"Then should I take the initiative to call the general manager of Aisin Huaxia and ask them to arrange for someone from Dongying Aisin to come to Great Wall Motors to communicate."

"Maybe this is a turning point for Great Wall Motors' independent research and development of gearboxes."

As the head of the purchasing department, Wei Qiang is still very touched by the strength of the international auto parts giants.

Obviously, even if Nanshan Group is really strong in China, but when it comes to the international level, the situation is a bit difficult to say.

"Our 1.5T engines are already produced in our own factory, and a small part of other displacement engines are also produced in our own factory."

"In this case, Nanshan Group will definitely have some opinions on us."

"They strongly supported the development of Changan Automobile before, and they still followed a similar path to ours, isn't it because of this?"

"If we don't buy our gearbox from Nanshan Group, then it is absolutely impossible to think that this matter will not affect the relationship between our two sides at all."

"You should be very clear about the influence of Nanshan Group in China."

"Not to mention that there are so many parts supplied by Nanshan Auto Parts, we can't find a better manufacturer to produce in a short time, even if it is, the cost is definitely not lower."

"So, what's the point of us working with Aisin to produce gearboxes?"

Wang Ying's mind is very clear.

In recent years, Great Wall Motors has also increased its efforts to produce its own parts.

Some parts have also been successfully produced in-house.

However, in terms of gearbox, although Great Wall Motors has invested a lot of manpower and material resources to study, the results have not been very good so far.

The level of complexity of the automatic transmission is higher than they think.

"That's right, or we took the initiative to communicate with Mr. Ji of Nanshan Gearbox at that time, which means that Aisin has contacted us to discuss the construction of a joint venture gearbox factory, but we refused."

Wei Qiang felt that Great Wall Motors had to drink a sip of soup to make sense of this matter.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a toss in vain?

That wasn't what he wanted to see.

"I'll give Mr. Cao a call, and you give Mr. Ji a call."

"I just said I was concerned about the news, and then someone from Aisin also contacted us and wanted to come to us to discuss the transmission factory."

"This favor, we must find a way to send it out."

Wang Ying actually knew that Cao Yang was in Yangcheng, and the speed of obtaining information must be faster than herself.

But you know what you know, and I care about it.

Even if you don't do any superfluous actions at that time, people will also accept your favor.

Sure enough, when Wang Ying called Cao Yang, all he got was the sincerity of Nanshan Group.

However, not all car companies share the same idea as Great Wall Motors.

For example, the West Wind Automobile Group took the initiative to contact Aisin at this time.

However, Xifeng Automobile Group's own independent brands are not very competitive, and in addition to Nanshan gearbox, there are some fixed partners.

In this case, they obviously have higher expectations for the cooperation with Aisin.

There will be fewer concessions that can be made.

I just enjoyed a lot of concessions from Yangcheng, but on the side of Xifeng Automobile Group, it was as if all the benefits were taken back.

Naturally, this made the people of Aisin a little unhappy.

"President, although Xifeng Automobile Group wants to cooperate with us, the current shelf is still relatively high."

"I recommend talking to other customers first, and then going back to the Westwind Motor Group."

"We can even let out the news and say that the asking price of the West Wind Automobile Group is too high, and Aisin has no way to accept it."

Okumura personally participated in the negotiations with the West Wind Automobile Group, and at this time he was also a little dissatisfied.

"You don't need to say so much, just book a plane tonight, and we'll go to the imperial capital."

"If you talk to another customer, you may have an unexpected surprise."

"With the first joint venture, if the second also signs the agreement, then the other interested partners will definitely be in a hurry."

"At that time, not to mention that there is no way to get more shares, we can also not make any commitments in terms of the localization rate of the gearbox, so that our cooperation will become more flexible."

Yoshikawa thinks that doing a business like gearboxes is not as simple as buying and selling pork in the vegetable market.

Before making a decision, you still need to fully consider the pros and cons behind the decision.

"Well, I'll arrange it right away."

"It is also a good thing for us to use other Chinese companies to stimulate Xifeng Automobile Group."

"Anyway, our 6AT technology will be learned by others sooner or later, but as long as we don't take out the drawings and some of the most sophisticated data, the automatic transmissions imitated by others will decline in terms of life and stability."

"It's an exaggeration, and the gearbox just started to fail."

Okumura is skeptical about the level of automatic transmissions produced by the Huaxia manufacturers.

Of course, they mainly have questions about companies outside of Nanshan Gearbox.

Soon, with Aisin and his entourage leaving Qingcheng, Li Shaobo, the boss of Xifeng Automobile Group, also had some questions.

"Director Yang, why did this Aisin talk for a day, and didn't have a meal together in the evening, so he went directly to the imperial capital?"

"Do you think we don't have the sincerity to cooperate or what do you mean?"

Li Shaobo's mood is a little not very good.

In his opinion, Yangcheng Automobile Group and Xifeng Automobile Group are not rivals of the same size.

Now you have given Yangcheng Automobile Group such good conditions.

So what do I want to do better than Yangcheng Automobile Group, is it excessive?

Yangcheng Automobile Group is just a local state-owned enterprise that is not even at the deputy department level.

But they of the Westwind Automobile Group?

Large central enterprises!

Huaxia No. 2 Automobile Factory!

A bunch of honors in the past are not made up randomly.

"Mr. Li, I think Aisin is still in the stage of picking and choosing."

"With the template of such a joint venture company as Yangcheng Aisin over there, they must think that there should be many manufacturers in Huaxia who take the initiative to find them."

"In this way, they can further put forward some more stringent conditions."

"But we're not going to let him get his wish easily."

Yang Qingshan, as the director of the technical center of Xifeng Automobile Group and a senior engineer, can be regarded as an expert-level talent.

In the school, it is definitely worthy of the position of the dean of the automobile college.

"Forget it, although things are a little wrong, but we still don't move for now."

"This matter is likely to involve some competition and conflict between the Nanshan Group and the Aisin Group, and it is best not to get involved in this conflict first."

"Otherwise, people on the left and right can find some topics and excuses to refute you speechless."

"Eventually, with their media propaganda, the situation may have changed completely."

In terms of smearing opponents, the ability of some foreign media is absolutely unrivaled in the world.

Li Shaobo can be regarded as having seen this situation before.

"So let's leave it at that?"

"Or also give a call to the Nanshan Group, which can be regarded as sharing information with them?"

"In case people see the news from the media, what special thoughts do they have for us?"

Yang Qingshan quickly put forward a new suggestion.

In this regard, Li Shaobo naturally fully agrees.
