Li Jianfeng is an old man in the public purchasing department of the magic capital.

He has been dealing with Nanshan Group for the longest time.

He was involved in everything from the early nut plates to the wheel bolts to the rear hub bearings.

For the development of Nanshan Group and the development of the Magic City, he has a lot of power.

In the past two years, the models of Modu Volkswagen have basically introduced the configuration of turbocharged engines.

As the star model of Modu Volkswagen this year, Lavida's excellent performance is the key to supporting the sales of Modu Volkswagen.

Otherwise, the former sales pillar Passat has not fully stood up since it fell, and Santana's competitiveness is also declining, and the pressure on the public in the magic capital should be great.

However, the hot sales of Lavida have also brought an additional pressure to the mass purchasing department of Modu.

That's where the supply of turbocharger capacity comes in.

The purchasing department did not dare to report this situation to the company.

Over the years, it has been very rare for the company's car sales to be affected due to parts supply problems in the purchasing department.

This is also something that is difficult to get recognition within the company.

Li Jianfeng naturally has a very clear understanding of this.

"Defan Bu, at present, BorgWarner has airlifted a batch of parts from the American factory to come to the emergency, and there should be no problem with the supply of turbochargers this month."

"But if our demand for turbochargers increases further, BorgWarner's U.S. plant capacity will also be insufficient in the future."

"The most troublesome point is that the turbocharger imported from the United States is 30% more expensive than the domestic production cost, plus the impact of tariffs and other aspects, as well as special air freight correspondence, the final cost will rise by more than 1,000 yuan a part."

"If you import 100,000 turbochargers a year, you need to pay an additional 100 million yuan."

"Such a large exceptional expense, the finance department will definitely find out."

"When the time comes to report to the company, we may be more passive."

Li Jianfeng felt that it was still necessary to make the problem clear in advance.

Otherwise, maybe he will need to take the blame at that time.

With such a big pot, he obviously can't carry it.

He didn't have the idea to memorize it.

This matter was not his problem in the first place.

Why should he bear the final consequences?

"Can't BorgWarner add new production lines in China?"

"The structure of the turbocharger should not be particularly complicated, and the difficulty of increasing production is not very high, right?"

Bu Defan's mood was a little bad.

The company is now not meeting its target due to sales growth, and the atmosphere is a little tense.

In this case, if the supply of parts in the purchasing department is off the chain, the people in the sales department will die of laughter.

Because I've finally found a department that is behind the pot.

At that time, it will not be their sales department, but the purchasing department will not be able to supply parts.

That's why the company's sales target was not achieved.

"BorgWarner had planned to start building a new plant this year, but due to the financial crisis, plans to build this new plant have been halted indefinitely."

"Because the car market in the United States has not recovered at all, there has even been a sharp decline compared to last year."

"Therefore, BorgWarner's expansion plan reported to the headquarters was also denied."

"As things stand, it's unlikely that they'll start building a new plant this year."

"And the turbocharger part, although the structure is not very complicated, but the production difficulty is actually very high."

As soon as Li Jianfeng explained this, Bu Defan immediately said: "Since BorgWarner can't handle it, can't we find other manufacturers?" ”

For procurement, one manufacturer can't do it, so change one.

This is a very normal way of working.

However, this time the situation of the turbocharger is obviously a little different from what Bu Defan thought.

"The working environment of the turbine is very harsh, and it has to face a series of unpredictable problems caused by high speed and high temperature."

"Our turbocharger manufacturers are currently mainly KKK and BorgWarner, and Modu Lingzhong is also in contact."

"But the production capacity of these manufacturers is relatively tight, and even they did not expect that Huaxia's turbocharged engine would develop so fast, and the layout is a bit out of pace."

"We have been in contact with other Eatons and Ishikawa Islands, but their costs are very expensive and difficult to accept."

Regarding Bu Defan's question, Li Jianfeng still quickly replied.

For the automotive industry, bringing in a completely new supplier is not a simple task.

Especially when it comes to important functional parts, there is more work to be done behind the scenes.

Obviously, the turbocharger is definitely a very important part.

"According to you, we can't find a better solution?"

"There are so many auto parts companies in the world, there are so many turbocharged engines, can't they find a suitable supplier to supply?"

Bu Defan asked very unhappily.

When the Modu Volkswagen just entered China, it encountered a lot of problems in the localization of parts.

Many parts cannot be produced by suitable domestic manufacturers.

But those days are long gone.

Nowadays, almost all of the world's major parts manufacturers have production plants in China.

No matter how bad it is, there are also trading companies that act as agents for related products.

In this context, there can still be problems with the supply of spare parts for Modu Volkswagen, which is something that Bu Defan can hardly accept.

And Bu Defan knows more that what he can't accept, the people above will definitely not accept it.

When the time comes, the board will hit him.

This made him feel very wronged.

"Bu Defan, in fact, it's not really impossible to find a suitable manufacturer."

"There is a domestic manufacturer in China whose production capacity is relatively sufficient, and has been expanding the production capacity of turbochargers over the years, and a new turbocharger manufacturer was built last year."

"And not only do they have more production capacity, but they are also cheaper than BorgWarner."

"It's just this manufacturer, we will definitely have some concerns when we use it."

As soon as Li Jianfeng said this, Bu Defan immediately couldn't help but ask: "Are you talking about Nanshan auto parts?" ”

As a person who has been to Nanshan Group for on-site inspection a long time ago, Bu Defan still has a good understanding of the situation of Nanshan auto parts.

According to Li Jianfeng, only Nanshan Auto Parts meets this situation.

Only when it comes to Nanshan auto parts, Li Jianfeng will be so entangled.

After all, the relationship between Volkswagen and Nanshan Group is very clear to everyone.

However, compared with the lack of supply of parts, Bu Defan feels that the sensitivity of using Nanshan auto parts is not so important.

The big deal is to go to Nanshan auto parts through middlemen to buy.

For example, let BorgWarner go to Nanshan Auto Parts to buy and sell it to Modu Volkswagen?

Or let some parts companies under Modu Automobile Group do this.

Bu Defan believes that there must be more solutions than problems in the end.

"Yes, it's Nanshan Auto Parts."

"They are the largest turbocharger manufacturer in China, and they supply all the turbochargers for Nanshan Engine."

"At the same time, their turbochargers are also supplied to Great Wall Motors, Chery Motors, Ford Motors and General Motors."

"If we look for them to produce turbochargers, we should be able to solve the supply crunch in the shortest possible time."

"They have strong technical strength and can quickly match the turbocharger with our engine."

"We even found the right product for our needs directly from one of their mass-produced products."

"Then, in another three or four months, we will be able to directly use the turbochargers produced by Nanshan Auto Parts."

Although Li Jianfeng did not take the initiative to propose to Bu Defan to introduce Nanshan auto parts to supply turbochargers, this plan was obviously considered in his heart.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have given his own reply so quickly.

After listening to his words, Bu Defan was silent for a moment.

He was further weighing the pros and cons of this matter.

In the end, he felt that for the purchasing department, the introduction of Nanshan auto parts to supply turbochargers was obviously a matter of more advantages than disadvantages.

As for the grievances between Nanshan Group and Volkswagen, Bu Defan feels that it is not something that he needs to think about too much.

Anyway, in the end, even if someone really delves into this matter, he can find sufficient reasons to refute the other party.

Objectively, he brought Nanshan auto parts into this matter, and did something that was beneficial to the public of the magic capital.

So soon, Li Jianfeng took the initiative to call Zeng Tingting.

They're old acquaintances.

So there's no need to beat around the bush and get straight to the point.

"Minister Zeng, is there any spare capacity for the turbocharger of Nanshan Auto Parts?"

The first thing Li Jianfeng had to do was naturally to confirm the other party's production capacity.

Only if the other party has the capacity to discuss the next thing makes sense.

Otherwise, it will be a waste of saliva then.

"The new turbocharger plant we built last year, the world's largest dedicated turbocharger factory, switched to double-shift production just last month."

"If necessary, we will be able to switch to a three-shift production model to a certain extent in the future."

"So there is definitely no problem with production capacity, as long as there are orders, there is no problem with as many turbochargers as you want."

Zeng Tingting's answer made Li Jianfeng breathe a sigh of relief.

If you have capacity, then everything will be easy.

"If we start to let Nanshan Auto Parts review the supply of turbochargers to Modu Volkswagen now, how long do you think it will take to complete the relevant technical compatibility confirmation?"

As soon as Li Jianfeng said this, Zeng Tingting immediately became interested.

Although the relationship between Nanshan Group and Volkswagen is not good, Zeng Tingting does not refuse to supply parts to Volkswagen in Modu.

This is something that is good for the company, and there is no reason to refuse.

To put it mildly, I will supply you, if the two sides break up in the future, you can directly cut off the supply.

Of course, as a supplier, Wait for leisure will not easily use this plan to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself.

"This is mainly based on the relevant indicators of the customer's engine, and if we can find a perfect match for the production parts, then we can supply them in a month."

"If some adjustments need to be made to the existing turbocharger after the compatibility is confirmed, it is estimated that it will take about three months."

"If you need to develop this part from scratch, it will take a lot more time."

"The specific situation depends on your company's relevant drawings, data and technical requirements."

Although Zeng Tingting is confident that she can solve the matching problem of the turbocharger in the short term, she does not want to directly pack the ticket when she has not obtained any information.

"What is your approximate cost?"

After listening to Zeng Tingting's words, Li Jianfeng probably knew it in his heart.

At this time, the focus is naturally on cost.

"I'm sure that the turbochargers supplied to your company by Nanshan Auto Parts will not be higher than the ones you are mass-producing now."

"But the specific price needs to be determined in combination with your drawing requirements."

Zeng Tingting wants to get this order, but she doesn't want to make a meaningless price cut.

If you sell something, the more expensive you sell, the better.

No one is going to get along with money.

"I'll send you the quotation conditions later, and then you will also arrange a technical team to connect with our technology to see if we can produce this part as soon as possible."

"It would be great if you could find a product that meets the specifications in your mass-produced parts."

For Modu Volkswagen, it must be that the sooner you find a second supplier, the better.

In this way, there is no need to keep shipping parts from the United States by air, and there is no need to worry about insufficient production capacity in the future.

If this matter is not finalized for a day, this thunder is not eliminated for a day.

After the two ended the call, the public side of the magic capital also quickly took action.

On the side of Nanshan Auto Parts, Dai Hanbiao also combined this information and separately reported the situation of the turbocharger to Cao Yang.

"Mr. Cao, today's sales of our turbocharger parts are growing significantly faster than other parts."

"Even the Modu Volkswagen and the Spring City Volkswagen are taking the initiative to ask us about the situation of this part."

"As for the new projects that are being offered, they are several times more than last year."

"At this pace, we may need to consider building a new turbocharger assembly plant next year."

If there are achievements, you must report to the leader in a timely manner.

Even if there are no achievements, it is necessary to create opportunities to communicate with the boss in a timely manner.

This is also a workplace skill.

Dai Hanbiao naturally has a deep understanding of this.

The auto parts business has always been one of the core businesses of Nanshan Group, and sometimes Cao Yang's attention to auto parts is a few points higher than that of the whole vehicle.

Only by mastering the core auto parts technology can it be possible to produce advanced engines and have high-end luxury Xingchen automobiles.

This point, many domestic OEMs do lack relevant understanding.

When the development of the industry is very smooth, there is no big problem in simply assembling the whole vehicle without its own parts technology, and it can still make money normally.

But once the development of the industry enters the bottleneck stage, everyone's competition becomes more intense, and the situation may be different.

"In the future, domestic automobiles, it is estimated that eighty percent will use turbocharged engines, and before the era of electric vehicles completely arrives, the prospect of turbochargers is still worth looking forward to."

"If you really need to build a new factory, then be bold and build it."

Cao Yang is very clear about the development trend of the automotive industry in China.

Under the guidance of the policy, turbocharged engines will become the mainstream configuration of various models in the future.

Traditional naturally aspirated engines are mainly used in the 1.5L and below market.

"At present, turbochargers are mainly supplied to the domestic market, and there are some orders from Ford Motor and General Motors abroad."

"We have compared the cost difference between domestic and foreign turbochargers, and we feel that the export market can be well developed in the future."

"Those similar products produced by foreign manufacturers are much more expensive than us."

"In the case of a sluggish auto market, we should have more opportunities to get orders from other manufacturers."

"Even Volkswagen, which has not had a good relationship with us in the past, will have relevant orders coming over."

The export market has always been Dai Hanbiao's concern.

In recent years, Nanshan Auto Parts has also exported many products overseas.

Now what he wants to do most is to expand the export of turbochargers.

A single part is worth more than 2,000 yuan, which can increase the output value by several billion yuan if millions of turbochargers are exported a year.

That's a lot of data.

With the hot sales of this product, the status of Nanshan auto parts in the industry can rise to a higher level.

"The overseas export market in the next ten years is still worth looking forward to."

"You can boldly develop any customer you want to develop, and you don't need to have too many concerns."

"Even if it's the Volkswagen you just mentioned, don't think too much."

"Compete when it's time to compete, and you can still cooperate when it's time to cooperate."

"Things in this world are never just black and white."

Cao Yang naturally wouldn't be rash at such a time.

can make money, can contain Volkswagen, and can understand many dynamics of the other party through the supply of parts in a timely manner.

Why not?

Turbochargers are not only Nanshan auto parts can be produced, you give up, others will find other manufacturers to buy more expensive products.

Anyway, if you put it on the whole Volkswagen, a little more expensive for one part is nothing.

With Cao Yang's words, Dai Hanbiao had confidence in his heart.

Now it's time to roll up your sleeves and do a great job.

……

Although the overseas automobile industry is still very sluggish, especially in the United States, the situation is getting worse and worse month by month.

The so-called three major car companies in the United States are now trying to survive.

However, in China, the automotive industry has not only recovered rapidly, but also achieved rapid growth.

In terms of the number of cars per 100 people, there is still a huge gap between China and countries such as the United States.

It can be said that the space for Huaxia automobile sales is still very huge.

This time, the purchase tax halving discount has stimulated a large number of consumers to buy cars.

The rapid development of the economy in the past few years has also made many people's money bags begin to bulge.

However, car prices are basically declining every year, and under the elimination of one and the other, car sales have naturally ushered in a round of explosion.

The sales of Nanshan auto parts have skyrocketed, which is basically an inevitable thing.

The development of the entire Nanshan Group has also exceeded local expectations.

Under such circumstances, the Government Council came to inspect it, and naturally the atmosphere was very good.

The various data reported by Nanshan Group are very ideal, and we are very confident in the future.

After ten years of development, Nanshan Group has transformed from a simple auto parts enterprise to a large-scale industrial group.

Among them, the proportion of equipment, materials and other businesses has also gradually risen.

It can be said that this time the inspection was enjoyed by the guests and hosts.

"Leader, I think there should be no problem with the GDP growth rate of Yangcheng this year to maintain above 8%."

"Even if the next development of Nanshan Group is so smooth, a 10% increase is possible."

Luo Yi combined the inspection records this time and quickly sorted out some content to report to Liu Tianwu.

As far as all localities are concerned, maintaining sustained and rapid economic growth will certainly be the most important task this year.

For many places, this task is actually quite daunting.

If the outside environment is not good, export-related factories will immediately feel the pressure.

In this case, the growth of some other industry is needed to cover this part of the impact.

Nanshan Group is now playing this role.

Even the entire automobile industry in China has played this role.

"8% of Yangcheng should be saved, but the situation in the whole Lingnan Province is not easy to say."

"If the growth of Nanshan Group this year can cover the impact of the entire Lingnan Province, it will be a big credit."

Liu Tianwu's expectations for Nanshan Group are getting higher and higher.

Up to now, as long as it is an industry engaged in by Nanshan Group, there is nothing bad to do.

All kinds of products are not only competitive in China, but also very capable in the world.

It's not easy.

The most critical thing is that Nanshan Group has been able to do this not only in one or two areas, but in many ways.

Parts, vehicles, robots, equipment, materials......

Either way, it's actually very difficult.

At least Liu Tianwu did not see any manufacturer that could surpass Nanshan Group in any aspect.

"It's not out of the question."

"Knowing that the sales of Xingchen Automobile can be raised, most of the gap in this area may be covered."

"Nowadays, the performance of Nanshan gearbox and Nanshan engine, as well as Nanshan auto parts is very bright."

"This is very powerful for the entire industrial chain."

"Under the influence of Nanshan Group, the entrepreneurs of the entire Yangcheng will be more confident in the future development."

"As long as there is faith, many things are actually not so difficult."

Although Luo Yi's words were a bit idealistic, Liu Tianwu felt that it was quite reasonable.

With confidence, everything is easy.

For this sentence, he actually feels very much with it.

At the same time, he is also very glad that Yangcheng has such a company as Nanshan Group.
