Yuan Zhiwei is an employee of the General Quality Department of Modu, and he is very irritable these days.

On the one hand, after the company's production line was shut down, the pressure on their employees was also very high.

As a member of the quality department, he still knows a lot of information, and he is also personally involved in the development of parts for other new suppliers.

Even in order to shorten the development cycle of new supplier parts as much as possible, the people in their quality department are basically required to go to the supplier's site.

Everyone worked overtime to catch up with the work and shorten the shutdown time as much as possible.

But the development of some parts is not something you can catch up with so quickly.

"If you don't have enough capacity, you can just take orders within the capacity range."

"Mr. Cao, if this is the case, I estimate that the people of General Motors and Ford Motor will regret participating in the comprehensive suppression of us in the first place."

Both cars were sent to the same 4S shop for repairs.

Because although it is an aftermarket part, people also need to make molds for production, and even need to invest in a special production line.

"Other equipment manufacturers can indeed provide similar equipment, but their prices and after-sales service attitudes are completely different."

"Our hot stamping production line, from the heating furnace, press to the laser cutting machine, is all purchased from Nanshan equipment."

"It's definitely going to be done in the end."

This is basically the bottom line of Union Electronics.

"Nanshan Equipment is not the only manufacturer in the world that can produce hot stamping production line equipment."

Of course, Yifeng also supplies some of these parts to other independent brands, which is technically theoretically possible.

It's impossible.

The other party is ready to hand over more than half of the orders for high-pressure oil pumps to United Electronics for production, which was previously the cake of Nanshan auto parts.

If you suppress the enterprises of the Nanshan system at every turn, you will not see that there are enterprises in China that have mastered the core technology.

Therefore, it is still acceptable to give United Electronics half a year.

"We should let everyone know about what they do, and even if they resume production in the future, there is no way to attract consumers to continue to buy their models."

"Let's just say that some of their stores now buy some parts from unknown sources directly from outside to sell as original parts."

Yuan Zhiwei directly enlarged his move and threatened Li Jia with orders.

He Ling knew very well what Autohome should do at this time.

Anyway, you don't want to make the parts produce normally, can you still find a way?

"Why hasn't it been so long?"

"Otherwise, it's the United States that bullies us every time, as if they don't have any effect at all."

"On the Kasma and Benteler side, on the one hand, they also have limited production capacity, and on the other hand, their schedules are more than a year, and there is no way to meet our requirements."

"Or if the relevant performance parameters don't match, the squeak will be very obvious."

"If we don't have adequate validation, then there will be an oil leak."

Usually, the other party begs him to give him a few more orders.

"Most of them are given a high price for this batch of parts, so that the other party has full motivation."

Wang Qian made a suggestion that was not so reliable.

"Peng Ke, to be honest, I really can't take this order."

The only thing to be thankful for is that its Cruze is not a model that has been discontinued.

"If it's just a simple schedule reason, it can still be done, right?"

"It should also be possible to take this opportunity to let their local employees try to develop."

In the future, as long as production resumes, there will be no problem with aftermarket parts.

If you hit a snake, you will be killed, or you may be bitten back.

"Or just park the consumer's maintenance car there and not repair it."

"At the same time, it can also make the cars of those 4S stores that are still selling stock cars have no way to continue to sell."

The price of a high-pressure oil pump is normally hundreds of yuan, and this time, in order to be in a hurry, Modu General did not entangle with United Electronics on the price.

Yu Yu also thought about it during this time, and he didn't think of a way to make the magic capital GM and Changan Ford stop production forever.

"It's very simple, when the time comes, just find one or two suppliers to cooperate, and let them find a reason to cut off the supply of Modu General Motors and Changan Ford."

"When the time comes, if you use this method a few more times, it is estimated that the hearts of the people of Modu General and Changan Ford will be completely dispersed."

"I can't keep my car in a way to be repaired, right? Or you can arrange for a scooter for me to drive. ”

After all, under normal circumstances, the combined inventory of the main engine factory and the 4S store is one or two months.

As a part with a relatively long preparation cycle, and it is a part that is widely used throughout the car, if it can't be done, then resuming production is a joke.

The situation is obviously much more serious than GM predicted at the beginning.

In other words, if you stop production for half a year, you may not have all the cars in stock in the store.

Wang Qian, the general manager of Yifeng, specially invited Peng Qing, chief of the parts procurement section of the general purchasing department of Modu, to dinner, in order to explain to the other party the reason why he did not accept orders.

Because most of the customers of local suppliers are local independent brands.

"These actions can be done, of course."

However, some old models that have been discontinued, the supply of after-sales parts is really a big problem.

"After they have worked hard to get all the substitutes out, we can use another trick to get them into a new round of shutdown."

For him, he must also hope to repair the car as soon as possible, so that he can earn money.

Although GM and Changan Ford have been forced to stop production, their 4S stores are still open.

Unless the relevant departments of Huaxia come forward, this is obviously unlikely.

"Benteler and Gestamp also have production lines provided by manufacturers other than Nanshan equipment."

He really wasn't lying.

Now that people are using this reason to perfunctory him, Nie Xiaojun is naturally dissatisfied.

But sometimes business things are not as simple as simple technical implementation.

This kind of trick will not be used by ordinary enterprises, but once it is used, the lethality is definitely very huge.

Compared with the situation on Yuan Zhiwei's side, there are still some people in charge of the project, and the progress is more complicated.

"For example, Cosma's production line is mostly a product that is common to other equipment that is purchased."

"Yes, now that Nanshan Automobile Group has torn its relationship with General Motors and Ford Motors, it will definitely hit these two brands to the greatest extent."

The price is nothing more than that there is no way to continue to do business with GM and Ford in the future, and even the business of joint venture car companies cannot continue.

In this way, Li Jia naturally hopes to get this product out as soon as possible.

"We all know that it takes one or two years or even longer to complete the whole process of development of those important parts."

And it also faces the problem of whether the production capacity is sufficient.

He Ling must have a very strong opinion on what the United States is doing.

"On the one hand, we have limited production capacity and can't eat so many parts."

Even if he can take a taxi, Nie Xiaojun hopes to drive back to his car as much as possible.

At this time, it must be the highest priority on the agenda.

Even when the auto market is sluggish, some brands can have more inventory than five or six months.

"As long as the function can be implemented normally, some small problems can be slowly improved later."

Without the written endorsement of Modu General, it would have been impossible for him to explain those things within the company.

As for how to solve this problem, we can only go back and find a way.

"But you must have seen the news recently, because of the all-round suppression of Nanshan Group by the United States, Nanshan Auto Parts has stopped supplying to Modu GM."

Modu GM and Changan Ford each have hundreds of suppliers, and it is definitely possible to find out how many manufacturers are willing to be bought by Nanshan Automobile Group.

Nie Xiaojun is the head of SKF's technical department, and he is relatively clear about many things in the automotive industry.

No matter how much he compresses, he doesn't know how to compress it.

"As a result, they want to complete all the work within half a year, which will inevitably lead to some parts being installed on the car without sufficient verification, which is irresponsible to consumers."

"Nowadays, even if we develop adaptability on the basis of the specifications of Modu Volkswagen, we will definitely need to adjust some parts."

"I'll go back and apply and see if there's a way to arrange it like this."

"I think it's better to work with them?"

For example, the equipment suddenly broke down, the factory caught fire, and the mold was damaged.

Therefore, although Yuan Zhiwei is the person responsible for quality, he can only force United Electronics to be in a hurry, and even take the initiative to say that some compromises can be made in terms of quality.

It's just that he called the 4S store for several days, but he didn't get an accurate message, and he was really a little angry.

However, Peng Qing also knew that Wang Qian would not be able to accept this order this time, so he did not force him again.

If the Demon Capital General had other options, he would definitely not come over to beg Wang Qian.

"As for half a year, I think as long as the money is in place, the employees can still overcome it."

As soon as Wang Qian said this, he directly made Peng Qing depressed.

After Li Jia finished speaking, he looked at Yuan Zhiwei quite nervously.

"There are so many parts on the car, and there is no way for the vehicle to roll off the assembly line smoothly without any of them."

Has the suspension of the supply of Nanshan auto parts affected the supply of after-sales parts of Modu GM?

It's a bit of a hassle.

According to this situation, it feels like there is no way to fix your car in a short period of time.

If it really doesn't work, some of the products are the same size as the headquarters in the United States, so we can only consider importing them from there.

As soon as Cao Yang said this, Yu Yu couldn't help but gasp.

"To be honest, I'm more of a headache than I am right now."

Peng Qing could only coax Yifeng to supply the magic capital at this time.

Although it is not as fierce as the same period in history, it is also one of the pillar sales models of Modu GM.

"In addition to after-sales parts, during this time, GM and Changan Ford are desperately looking for replacement suppliers to produce parts."

Last month, they developed a high-pressure oil pump, and they couldn't even think of such a thing.

"The only piece of stock has been used by another car."

Modu General Motors must not have started to think about this aspect of the problem now.

This order is poisonous, and he will never dare to take it.

So in the end, Li Jia and the others quoted a very special price, and the other party accepted.

"And their hot stamping molds are designed by the headquarters, and those people don't work overtime for us."

"Wang Ke, Cosma and Benteler all have hot stamping factories in Modu, and Gestamp also has factories nearby."

"Does the manufacturer say when it will be possible to supply after-sales parts?"

I'm used to driving to and from work every day, and it's a bit unaccustomed to not having a car.

However, complex parts such as integrated hot-stamping door knockers and hot-stamping parts of unequal thickness plates are basically supplied by Yangcheng Huaqiang Factory.

"Every engine is different, and the high-pressure oil pump required is also different."

Nie Xiaojun is a car owner of Cruz, which has been very popular in the past few years.

"Well, this thing can really be done well."

"YUAN GONG, THE HIGH-PRESSURE OIL PUMP IS A VERY CRITICAL PART OF THE ENGINE, AND IT IS NECESSARY TO PRESSURIZE THE LOW-PRESSURE GASOLINE IN THE OIL PIPELINE TO TENS OF MPA."

Modu General has made an inventory of the main parts internally, and knows that it can fully resume production in half a year, which is basically the most ideal situation.

"As long as our high-pressure oil pump is not the bottleneck part, the difference between being developed within half a year and developing it within three months is not so big."

"The most important thing is that if we take your orders, then our orders from customers such as Chery and Geely are likely to be lost."

After the two of them stared at each other for more than a minute, Li Jia said: "Half a year, Yuan Gong, we can complete all the verification work within half a year at the earliest, and deliver the parts to Modu GM." ”

As soon as Cao Yang said this, Yu Yu immediately continued: "Mr. Cao, is there anything in our group that has not been used?" ”

……

But the cost of that kind is really exaggerated.

"This time, we're going to let the Americans know what it's like to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred."

"Yuan Gong, unless your company can sign a liability waiver agreement with us, we don't dare to skip all kinds of basic tests."

"Why did it take so long to get it done?"

"Mr. Nie, what you said is not wrong, normally it is true."

"Didn't you say it could be done in three or four days?"

"Don't look at them now, they are in a hurry to find a bunch of companies to produce our replacement products, but this process will take half a year at the earliest."

Even if the magic capital is not bad for money, he wouldn't dare to do such a thing.

"The most important thing is that if we take this order at this time, it will completely offend Nanshan Group."

They now supply some of the less difficult hot stamping parts to Modu GM.

Otherwise, there will be all sorts of explanations.

"But you don't have to have any pressure, in the end, Modu GM and Changan Ford will definitely not be able to resume production easily."

As long as Nanshan Automobile Group can find a way to find a better way to make money, then some suppliers are willing to backstab GM and Changan Ford.

"Considering the preliminary verification and preparation of parts, it normally takes more than a year."

There is also no such strength as the next.

How could he deliberately drag his feet on time and not repair?

"After-sales parts, don't you generally have some inventory in your store or on the manufacturer's side?"

Repairs like this kind of car accident insurance are often more lucrative.

"Although we now have some mass-produced products supplied to other customers such as Modu Volkswagen, they are all specially developed for them."

Nie Xiaojun was stunned when he heard this.

Yu Yu is also very clear about this.

"If you can't, then we'll have to think about other suppliers."

Not to mention, this trick is really useful.

Although Li Jia wanted this order very much, as a joint venture of Bosch in Huaxia, they also had some basic work processes that they could not change.

After discussing the countermeasures with He Ling, Yu Yu personally called Mi Ying and made an appointment with Cao Yang to report in person.

"In addition, our molds for hot stamping parts, as long as they are relatively difficult, are made by Nanshan molds."

However, as soon as Yuan Zhiwei came up, he asked to arrange the production plan according to the schedule of 3 months to achieve mass production, which immediately confused the people of United Electronics.

After all, although the relationship between the two sides is deteriorating, it is impossible for Huaxia to take the initiative to break away from the world like Northern Goryeo.

"As for the retaliation from the Nanshan Group, I don't think you need to worry about it in particular."

"I'm sure there must be a supplier who can do it."

Nie Xiaojun was a little busy during this time, so busy that he didn't have enough time to sleep, so he drove and rear-ended another Cruz.

"You can even find a way to instigate some owners of GM and Changan Ford to come out and make trouble, so that the OEMs can give an explanation."

"I believe that there must be some other parts on the whole vehicle that will take more than half a year to develop."

"I believe you are very aware of the influence of Nanshan Automobile Group in the Chinese automobile industry, and Chery and other manufacturers will sell them face in this matter."

Helping Nanshan Automobile Group deal with GM and Changan Ford is the most important thing at the moment.

As for whether it will lead to a lawsuit, there are many ways to circumvent it.

But Nanshan Automobile Group has the strength to find a way to make up for the losses of others.

However, the price of developing new parts for dozens or hundreds of aftermarket parts every year is too high.

"Then we have to have a separate debriefing meeting every week to explain the progress of each project, and make sure that no one is left behind."

"In terms of raw materials, it is also a hot-stamped steel plate jointly developed by Baosteel and Nanshan Special Steel."

I am fully responsible, and there is nothing to dispute, just take insurance.

"Even if we work overtime, it will take at least seven or eight months, and it can't be faster than this."

"In this case, it is impossible for Nanshan Mould to produce a universal parts mold for us in the magic capital."

"On the other hand, it is very difficult to complete the preparation of so many hot stamping parts in half a year."

"At this time, no matter how greedy I am, there is no way."

Don't look at this car, it was designed by Goryeo and then produced in Huaxia, strictly speaking, it is not an original Buick model.

This trick is really a bit difficult to crack.

"Mr. Yu, I think the after-sales maintenance of Modu GM and Changan Ford can be reported well."

The after-sales maintenance manager of the 4S store replied helplessly.

"But it's probably not necessarily going to work out."

For example, for models that are in mass production, Modu GM is making every effort to find other suppliers for alternative production.

Yuan Zhiwei actually has a number in his heart.

Seeing that Peng Qing stopped talking, Wang Qian added his proposal beside him.

Developing the development capabilities of local employees will be useful for future speed.

It hurts your heart and you can never resume production.

"In short, it is to completely stink the reputation of Magic Capital General and Changan Ford."

"The manufacturer didn't send the after-sales parts, and we can't do it."

However, after the launch, due to the relatively large space and the right price, the sales are still very good.

"My car has been repaired in your 4S shop for a week, and it hasn't been repaired until now."

The other party was very sincere and did not fool Nie Xiaojun.

"Except for some major adjustments to be made in the installation interface, the other structures and principles are similar."

If you lose the orders of your own brand because of these orders temporarily transferred by Modu GM, the loss will be great.

As long as it is a local parts supplier in China, there is basically no one who is not afraid of this trick.

But the problem was not solved, and Nie Xiaojun's mood was not better at all.

Nie Xiaojun was a little disheartened now.

"It's a big deal that there will be no holiday for half a year, and then the mold processing will work in two shifts, day and night."

Appropriate sacrifice of some quality is also something to consider.

"Okay, then in 6 months, you immediately put out the plan for each link, and we will sign the official meeting minutes."

As the general manager of United Electronics, Li Jia now attaches great importance to this project of Modu General Motors.

But at this critical juncture, it is obviously a little far away from quenching the thirst of the near.

This trick is really a bit ruthless.

The situation faced by GM naturally spread quickly in the automotive industry.

The most important thing is that it is very troublesome to even think about it.

In short, the inside of the magic capital is a mess right now.

The purchasing department, the quality department and other departments are busy, and the production site is out of production because the entire factory has been shut down, but there is nothing to do.

"Either way, it will lead to a lot of consumer complaints, and even oil leaks, as well as safety hazards."

"This action has led to the suspension of production in all factories of Modu GM, and many after-sales parts in our 4S stores have begun to run out of stock, or are about to be out of stock."

"The most common quality problem of the high-pressure oil pump is oil leakage."

Since it was a private occasion, Peng Qing was also willing to say something that was inconvenient to say on the table.

The pressure in Yu Yu's heart was much less.

The situation of Nanshan Automobile Group is far from being as bad as I imagined.
