Chapter 664 Super Die Casting Machine Export, The Rise of the Equipment Industry

The 12,000-ton super die-casting machine is tailor-made by Nanshan Equipment for the integrated die-casting technology of future automobiles.

Although the integrated die-casting technology has caused a lot of controversy on the Internet, there are actually many interested manufacturers.

Of course, these manufacturers are mainly relatively young car companies.

Traditional auto giants will not easily transform their stamping shops into die-casting shops because they already have huge sunk costs.

The cost of capital and time is unacceptable to them.

The core of integrated die-casting technology is to inject metal and other materials into the mold in a very short time through a super-large tonnage die-casting machine, so as to quickly manufacture precision parts or finished products.

The advantages of this technology are high efficiency, low cost and high precision, which is especially suitable for large-scale production.

However, the key to achieving this technology is the tonnage of the die casting machine, the larger the tonnage, the larger the size and the higher the accuracy of the manufactured part or finished product.

Die casting machines are nothing new, they have been around for a hundred years.

Whether it is Huaxia or the world, there are countless manufacturers who can produce die-casting machines.

However, there is only one equipment manufacturer that can produce 12,000 tons of super die-casting machine, and there is only one Nanshan equipment.

In other scenarios, even the top die-casting manufacturers in the world can only produce a maximum of 8,000 tons of die-casting machines.

Although this tonnage die casting machine can also be used for a part of the one-piece die casting parts.

But certainly not as good as 12,000 tons.

Therefore, the die-casting machine of Nanshan Equipment, after the future car began to be used, has received 4 orders in a very short period of time, which are 2 orders from Tesla in the United States.

There are also 2 units ordered by Yangcheng Aion.

In addition, there are some other car companies that are negotiating with Nanshan Equipment to purchase 12,000 tons of super die-casting machines.

It can be said that this die-casting machine has become the pinnacle of Nanshan equipment in the field of die-casting equipment.

If you don't make a move, it's enough, and if you make a shot, it's the king bomb.

Don't look at the die-casting machine in the past, it was not the main business of Nanshan Equipment, but after the 12,000-ton super die-casting machine, everyone thinks that Nanshan Equipment's technology in the field of die-casting is the world's leading.

Today's meeting is to discuss the first export of 12,000 tons of die-casting machine from Nanshan Equipment.

Such a good publicity opportunity must be a ceremony.

Otherwise, how can more people know the power of Nanshan equipment?

"Mr. Cao, our technicians have flown to the United States in advance and entered Tesla's factory to make some preliminary preparations for the installation of the super die-casting machine."

"After the equipment is loaded tomorrow, it is expected to arrive at the port on the American side in half a month."

Pan Jinxing can be regarded as a person who has seen a lot of winds and waves, but this time the super die-casting machine can be exported to the United States, and he is still quite excited.

After all, in the past, the products of Nanshan equipment were exported to the United States relatively few.

This iconic device, even less.

The installation of a super die-casting machine is not as simple as transporting parts over and then directly installing them.

Whether it is a large die-casting machine or a large stamping machine, there are some special requirements for the foundation.

If the basic work is not done well, then no matter how high the accuracy of your equipment is, there will be no way to give full play to its advantages at that time.

This is also the reason why Nanshan Equipment needs to arrange engineers to go to the United States in advance to play the front station.

"Although there is still a relatively large controversy about the integrated die-casting technology, with the use of more and more manufacturers of integrated die-casting, more manufacturers will begin to consider the use of this technology."

"In particular, some new domestic enterprises for the purpose of producing electric vehicles have a higher pursuit of lightweight technology."

"They are also more willing to use such advanced technology, and when the time comes, the order for Nanshan Equipment's 12,000-ton super die-casting machine will definitely be more and more year by year."

"Even when traditional giants such as Ford Motor begin to accept integrated die-casting technology, the demand for this press will grow explosively."

"After all, the production capacity of each press is relatively fixed, and to meet such a large output, it is necessary to invest more equipment."

Cao Yang is still optimistic about the integrated die-casting technology, and there will be more and more new energy vehicles in Huaxia in the future.

The demand for this will become more and more intense.

As a leading enterprise, Nanshan Equipment has advantages in both technology and cost, and can make this business bigger and stronger.

"The future of super die casting machines is indeed getting brighter and brighter now."

"Some car companies may have mobilized people to slander this technology of future cars on the Internet when they first started."

"But after reviewing it and discovering the benefits of this technology, we immediately arranged for someone to start negotiating with us about purchasing equipment."

When Pan Jinxing said this, he couldn't help but pout.

This also made Cao Yang think about the interesting development process of this technology in his previous life.

When Tesla first started using this technology in cars, it was really a lot of scolding on the Internet.

Anyway, everyone thinks that this is a car company that is cheating consumers, just to reduce costs for themselves, and they don't care about anything.

But soon, Xiaopeng, Ideal, and even Xiaomi behind, various car companies have launched super die-casting machines.

And the integrated die-casting technology is promoted as a very important and advanced technology.

Slowly, there are no voices on the Internet that scold this technology.

Cao Yang didn't want to speak for Tesla, but sometimes many people on the Internet really don't have any opinions, and they belong to the crowd, and they are easy to be led astray.

"Although the super die-casting machine has a relatively high threshold, some other die-casting manufacturers will definitely find a way to enter when they see that our equipment is selling so hot and the profits are so high."

"So as long as someone wants to buy it, as long as the money is in place, we sell it, and there is no need to pay attention to what their previous views on the technology are."

Cao Yang's mentality is becoming more and more stable now.

"That's right, the integrated die-casting equipment sells more, and our molds can also sell a little more."

He Qingquan, who was very low-key on the side, also interjected.

As the person in charge of Nanshan Mold, all the businesses he is responsible for are TO B, and few ordinary people outside know the existence of Nanshan Mold.

It is also difficult for ordinary people to understand whether the technical level of Nanshan mold is high or low.

For example, integrated die-casting parts are often complex in shape.

The larger the die-casting machine, the more parts are combined, and the more complex the final shape must be.

The shape of the part is complex, and the mold that needs to be used in the production process will naturally become more complex.

Huaxia's mold output is very large, especially in the Pearl River Delta, there are a large number of mold manufacturers.

However, the level of molds produced by these mold manufacturers is generally not very high.

For example, hot stamping molds, especially some more complex hot stamping molds, are now mainly produced by Nanshan molds.

In order to ensure the accuracy of integrated die-casting parts, the requirements for molds are naturally very high.

Even Tesla is looking for Nanshan Mould to produce its own integrated die-casting parts mold.

The technology is good, and the cost is not too high.

Such an excellent supplier is naturally very popular.

……

The export activities of Nanshan equipment super die-casting machine were quite grand, not only invited some of their suppliers to participate, but also invited the media in the automotive professional field and the die-casting industry to come.

After all, the main purpose of this event is to get the word out.

If there is no media participation, then how can we maximize the role of propaganda?

"Mr. Zhang, Nanshan Equipment has come up with a super die-casting machine, which will have a relatively large impact on the sales of our large-scale stamping machines in the future."

Jier Machine Tool Factory, when Liu Yongzhe saw the news of the export ceremony of the Nanshan equipment super die-casting machine on Autohome, he immediately couldn't help but come to Zhang Sheng's office.

Over the years, the relationship between Jier Machine Tool Factory and Nanshan Group is still good.

Although Nanshan Equipment also manufactures presses, it mainly produces PRG presses and TRF presses, and basically does not produce TDM presses.

Therefore, the competitive relationship with Jier Machine Tool Factory is not so strong, and even because many components of Jier are purchased from Nanshan Equipment, it is more of a cooperative relationship.

Now after the super die-casting machine comes out, many parts on the body will be die-cast in the future, which will be embarrassing.

"The super die-casting machine is currently only being engaged in by Nanshan Equipment, and other manufacturers can't do it."

"The impact on us in the short term should be very limited."

"You see who is using it now, Tesla, Yangcheng Aion, Future Auto, these are all companies that produce electric vehicles."

"Although the development of domestic electrification is relatively fast, it is still completely insufficient in terms of volume."

"I think the impact of this event on us in 10 years will be very limited."

Zhang Sheng will retire in a few years, so he doesn't want to toss because of this matter.

Of course, the most important thing is that he feels that this matter is indeed not so easy to affect Jiji.

As for the impact on the future, that one is full of uncertainty.

If the relationship with Nanshan Group is stiffened because of these uncertainties, it will be a bit more than worth the loss.

At least that's what Zhang Sheng himself thinks.

"That being said, if our company wants to go public, then investors will definitely consider these factors, and these are all bad news for the stock price."

Liu Yongzhe is only in his early forties this year, and he is not retiring so soon, so he naturally does not want to see news that is unfavorable to the company.

And he is now the deputy general manager, and it is very likely that he will take over in the future.

In this case, he thinks about something more.

"The super die-casting machine produced by Nanshan equipment is 12,000 tons, in fact, there should be a market for 8,000 tons of die-casting machines."

"If Nanshan Equipment doesn't want to enter the field of 8,000 tons, I think I can consider finding a company to cooperate in the production of 8,000 tons of die-casting machines."

"At that time, it can be regarded as expanding our business."

Zhang Sheng felt Liu Yongzhe's worries, so he proposed a compromise plan.

As a leading enterprise in the domestic machine tool industry, Zhang Sheng naturally has a good relationship with many brother enterprises.

It is not difficult to find a company to cooperate with to develop a large die casting machine.

In this regard, Liu Yongzhe can only agree.

……

also saw the relevant news in the media such as Autohome, and it will definitely not be only Liu Yongzhe.

Qiantu Auto, which has just been established for a long time, received its first financing this month.

They are also starting to make further preparations for the production of their new models.

"Mr. Lu, our model is developed to benchmark the W9 of the future car, and I think this integrated die-casting technology is definitely indispensable."

Qin Lihong put forward his proposal to Lu Bing with a rather firm attitude.

Since you want to imitate, you have to imitate a little bit.

What people have in the future car, as long as the future car can keep up, there must be it.

As for what autonomous driving can not keep up with, that's more on that later.

"If we also want to use integrated die-casting technology, then we have to find Nanshan Equipment to buy a super die-casting machine."

"Will they be reluctant to sell to us?"

Lu Bing said with a little worry.

After all, along with the financing of Qiantu Auto, many people in the automotive industry have also shifted their attention to them.

And Lu Bing's previous easycar network itself has a relatively high reputation in the industry.

In this case, how the first new car PPT of Qiantu Automobile was made will be known to everyone.

Labels such as medium and large pure electric SUVs and battery swaps will slowly appear on the heads of future cars.

This is both a good thing and a bad thing.

"Mr. Lu, I think you're too worried."

"In terms of competition, Tesla has a stronger competition with Future Cars, which has already been listed in the United States and will launch large-scale delivery models in two years."

"In this case, Nanshan Equipment also agreed to sell the same equipment to Tesla when the super die-casting machine of the future car was just put into production, what reason do we have to worry that they will not sell it to us?"

"If this is really the case, then the double-standard approach of Nanshan equipment, we can have a good crusade on the Internet."

Qin Lihong is not worried at all that Nanshan Equipment will not sell super die-casting machines to Qiantu Automobile.

This is not in the interests of the Nanshan Group.

Although only Nanshan equipment can produce 12,000 super die-casting machines, if someone wants to buy and Nanshan equipment is not sold, people will definitely find other equipment manufacturers to develop.

This is equivalent to cultivating competitors for yourself.

Qin Lihong didn't think that Nanshan equipment would be so stupid.

Besides, although the integrated die-casting technology is the first large-scale application of the future car on the W9, it is destined to be used by more people in the future.

Just like the hot-stamping door knocker technology of Yangcheng Huaqiang Factory, after Xingchen Automobile began to use it, slowly BMW and Cadillac and other models were also used.

It's not that people don't sell it.

"You're right, then arrange someone to contact Nanshan Equipment first and see what the other party says."

"With such a super die-casting machine, the sales price should not be cheap."

"We will definitely wait for the production plant to be finalized before we officially sign the purchase contract."

"Now let's do some preliminary work."

Although Qiantu Auto has already received the first round of financing, it is enough for them to recruit R&D personnel for preliminary development work.

But if you want to buy land and build a factory, then these funds will definitely not be enough.

Lu Bing also needs to continue to look for the owner of the money to see who is optimistic about the development of the future of the car.

"It takes a long time to produce such a large-scale die-casting machine, and the production capacity of Nanshan equipment is also limited."

"When the time comes, we will combine the production cycle of Nanshan equipment and the construction expectation of our new factory to finally decide the signing time of the equipment purchase contract."

Qin Lihong was also relieved to see that Lu Bing agreed to go to Nanshan Equipment to buy a super die-casting machine.

The future car has something, and the future car already has a part.

This is a good sign.

……

Soon, these movements of Qiantu Automobile also reached Cao Yang's ears.

"Mr. Cao, according to the information we have learned so far, the first new model of Qiantu Auto is a medium and large SUV model that is close to the W8 that we are about to launch."

"When they were looking for financing from investment institutions, they mentioned some new car concepts."

"From what they say, I see a lot of shadows of the future W9."

"Basically, it can be determined that Qiantu Auto wants to copy the development path of Future Automobile."

Zeng Tingting and Pan Jinxing were both called to the office by Cao Yang today.

For the sake of Qiantu Automobile and their Nanshan equipment to buy a 12,000-ton super die-casting machine.

China's Internet industry has now begun to explode.

Although the scale is not as exaggerated as ten years later, with the rise of smart phones, the future of the Internet industry is becoming more and more optimistic.

Whether it is a newly listed company or the financing scale of each enterprise, it is constantly refreshing the historical record.

In this case, there will definitely be more and more funds and enterprises to shift their eyes to new energy vehicles.

"I agree with Mr. Zeng's point of view, Qiantu Auto is taking the road of copying our future car, in this case, if our super die-casting machine is sold to them, then their plagiarism road will be one step closer."

Pan Jinxing is not very worried about the order of the super die-casting machine now, so he will not easily follow anyone's order.

"The automotive industry is more complex, and the threshold is not as low as everyone thinks."

"Whether it is Qiantu Automobile, or other new car-making forces that will emerge in the future, their first car is likely to be copied or cobbled together with a few popular models."

"It's basically an inevitable consequence, so we don't have to worry about it."

"In the future, cars can become the object of imitation and plagiarism, which shows that he is still relatively successful."

"I'm not worried about what impact the emergence of Qiantu Auto will have on the development of future automobiles."

"Qiantu Auto will not be the first company to copy Future Auto, and there will definitely be more car companies that will follow a similar path to Future Auto in the future."

"Always moving forward, never surpassed."

"The mission of the future car is different from that of ordinary companies."

Cao Yang is not arrogant, but he really has this self-confidence.

In terms of the current market environment in Huaxia, if Qiantu Auto copied the development model of Future Automobile, Cao Yang would have to meet them in court, and it would definitely not be Future Auto that would profit in the end.

Once you've figured this out, there's no need to worry about it.

Even people who want to come over and buy some parts can consider selling them.

Of course, the specifications must not be exactly the same as those of the future car.

Otherwise, when the time comes, people will directly touch the porcelain to publicize, which will be very disgusting.

"I'm worried that when the time comes, people will get a car similar to ours, but the price is much lower than ours, so it will be troublesome."

Zeng Tingting didn't question what Cao Yang said, but just expressed her worries.

After all, domestic independent brands, in terms of price wars, they dare to recognize the second, no one dares to recognize the first.

"What is the cost of a car, we can roughly calculate."

"As a brand-new car company, Qiantu Auto does not have enough units to support, and the cost of sharing in all aspects is very high."

"Unless they can raise enough money to burn at a loss, they won't be able to really keep the price very low."

"For example, a medium and large SUV with a cruising range of 500 kilometers will cost more than 100,000 yuan for lithium batteries alone."

"Coupled with other parts such as motors, it is impossible to sell for less than 200,000 yuan."

"And once the price goes to two or three hundred thousand, or even higher, the price difference between the future car and the future car is not as big as everyone thinks."

"People who are willing to pay two or three hundred thousand yuan to buy a future car definitely have the ability to spend 500,000 yuan to buy a future car."

"Besides, our W8 will be on the market soon, and the price will go to the range of 400,000 by then."

"The price of W7 can reach more than 300,000 yuan, in this case, what can Qiantu Auto compete with us?"

When Cao Yang said this, Zeng Tingting breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, this is the truth.

In the short term, the threat of Qiantu Auto to future cars is very limited.

As for a few years later, the scale of the future car will be even different, and the cost level will be completely different.

What can Qiantu Auto use to compete with Future Auto?

At most, it's a soup in the back of the butt of the future car.

"Mr. Cao, then our super die-casting machine will be sold to Qiantu Auto normally?"

Pan Jinxing naturally listened to the conversation between Cao Yang and Zeng Tingting.

So I didn't bother so much, and directly made the final confirmation!

"Sell!"

"Why don't you sell it?"

"Just keep the price at the same level as the one sold to Tesla!"

At this stage, no other manufacturer can produce 12,000 tons of super die-casting machine, and Nanshan Equipment must take this opportunity to make more money.

A super die-casting machine costs almost 200 million, plus other ancillary equipment and systems, and in the end a production line cannot be launched without 300 million.

The profit in this is at least 100%!

And that's not even counting the profits from subsequent equipment maintenance!

Normally, the income of follow-up maintenance accounts for more than half of the total income.
