Zheng Chaoqun was very sure that the other two colleagues must have received calls and emails with the same content.

So now, we're all on the same page.

Can't afford to be left behind!

A strong sense of urgency arose from the bottom of Zheng Chaoqun's heart.

In the past few decades, compound shaft has been the largest and strongest bearing manufacturer in China.

But Bingcheng Bearing and Luoyi Bearing are also in the same level, not too far behind.

In front of those first-class bearing manufacturers abroad, the three are not competitive anyway.

Now, however, an opportunity to soar is in front of us.

Seize it, not only can directly rank among the top international level, but even have the opportunity to give the bearing industry around the world a major reshuffle.

But if you can't catch it, or if you fall behind......

I'm afraid there won't be a chance to turn over anytime soon.

Thinking of this, Zheng Chaoqun directly grabbed the phone next to him and dialed the internal number of the general manager's office of the group......

After chatting with the other side for a few words, he hung up the phone directly, printed out the data sent by email, and prepared to go out with a few pieces of paper.

When I left the office, I almost collided with the apprentice who had just returned.

"Master, your ...... of food"

"Just put it on my desk!"

For Zheng Chaoqun now, eating is already a secondary thing.

He needs to carry out a large-scale bearing research battle!

Although Chang Haonan initially called the three of them over to produce bearings for aero engines, they did not just come up with a bearing design drawing, but a set of design theories that are not yet complete but have great potential.

It is said that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, and Chang Haonan taught not only the skills of fishing, but also the fishing nets and trawlers.

In this case, Zheng Chaoqun felt that it was time to consider expanding the scope of the business.

The bearings used in aero engines are indeed high enough, but the scale is limited after all.

And it's the three of them competing at the same time.

Even if it is really won, the business volume can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket for their complex group.

As a symbol of the group's honor, it can't be expected to feed the entire group.

If you really want to become bigger and stronger, make a name for yourself, and improve user perception, you still have to go to the real market.

And the same plot was played out in two other places almost at the same time......

……

Compared with the spare parts manufacturers in the middle of the industrial chain, the first to notice the changes in the industry situation is actually the material field further upstream.

Nara, Japan.

"Minister Guangtian, this is the order data submitted by the Huaxia market last month."

The secretary knocked lightly on the door and placed a thick stack of documents on the desk of Hiroshi Hirota, deputy director of the marketing department of Tsubaki Nakajima Group.

After all, it's already the beginning of September, and the fourth quarter, and even some orders for next year are already about to be submitted.

With the continuous opening up and economic development of China in recent years, its domestic demand for precision bearings is increasing, and compared with the direct import of NTN or Koyo these companies' finished bearings, the purchase of key semi-finished materials and then in the form of domestic assembly and production is obviously more favored by the Chinese people.

Although there is still a gap between the final product quality and the high-end models of the real original factory, the cost is lower, and the second can also be counted as domestic on paper, so Tsubaki Nakajima's Chinese business has been growing at a double-digit level year-on-year for more than 40 consecutive months, and even the position of Guangtian, the vice minister responsible for the direction of the Chinese market, is also rising.

In fact, slightly larger bearing or gear manufacturers will have their own special steel production capacity, for example, the complex shaft group has a subsidiary of Fuzhou Bearing Group Special Steel Co., Ltd., and M50NiL steel was even developed by the special steel division of bearing manufacturer SKF.

However, these companies or departments are basically only responsible for the post-processing of finished or semi-finished steel, and are not responsible for the process from iron ore to steel (low added value, too large investment), and the scale is relatively limited, so sometimes it is necessary to purchase raw materials from special steel enterprises such as Xingcheng or Datong.

And Tsubaki Island Special Steel is more special, it is also a part of the production of bearings Tsubaki Island Group, but later the sideline business is better than the main business development is accidental, began to gradually get involved in the field of raw material production, is a cross-border business.

About five years ago, he took a fancy to Huaxia, a market that was not inconspicuous at that time, and almost smashed the pot and sold iron in order to dredge up the relationship, so he transferred himself to his current position.

As it turned out, he was right to gamble.

Due to the explosive development of the Chinese market in recent years, Tsubaki Nakajima intends to separate the Chinese business and establish a Tsubaki Nakajima Huaxia headquarters.

The group has even sent people to reach a cooperation with Huaxia and start to build the first local factory in Huaxia.

And Hiroshi Hirota is naturally the only candidate for the head of the department.

As long as this step can be taken, it is tantamount to one step to the sky.

It is even possible to use this as a springboard to go directly to management in the future.

However, it was almost time to get off work now, and in the evening, two foreign trainees who had just been recruited asked him to go for a drink, and Hirota naturally had no patience to flip through the pages by himself with such a thick document.

So after he hastily read the first two pages, he turned directly to the end with some impatience.

The complicated data in the middle, the big people on it won't care, you can look at it slowly.

He's ready to fill in the report on the size and growth of his business that is most critical, and then go and enjoy the nightlife.

"Compared to the data in August last year, it increased by 11.4% year-on-year......"

"Wait......"

After Hirota copied down the number, he realized that something was wrong, and looked up to the secretary who had just sent the materials in and asked:

"How did it drop so much?"

11.4% is not bad, in fact, if it were left elsewhere, it would definitely be a result worth opening champagne.

But in the first eight months of this year, Huaxia's year-on-year business growth was around 15%, so why did it drop almost a quarter at this critical juncture?

Hiroshi Hiroshi knows that his future and destiny are tied to the Chinese market, so he must not make any mistakes.

"The main reason is that several previous large customers have reduced the number of orders in the first quarter of next year, and the largest number of Fuzhou bearing groups has only half of the total number of bookings in the first quarter of this year."

Hearing this heart-wrenching data, Hirota's body shook violently, and the tip of the long knife in his hand slammed on the table.

It was a gift from his father when he was promoted to the University of Tokyo, and it had been used for nearly 20 years.

However, at this time, Hirota couldn't care so much, so he quickly flipped back the report and quickly found the part of the secretary that said.

"The main ones affected are the ...... of steel balls and rollers"

Hiroshi Hirota took a deep breath.

These are the two most important products of Tsubaki Nakajima Special Steel, not only in Huaxia, but even NSK, NTN, Fujikoshi, these Japanese high-end bearing companies are their customers.

There must be no problems.

After a moment of hesitation, he quickly made a decision.

Tonight the pigeon is gone.

After all, they are only two trainees, how can he be as important as the head of the Huaxia Headquarters?

Guangtian gestured for the secretary to leave, then took out his mobile phone and sent a group text message to several colleagues who were also tied to the Huaxia market:

"See you at Miss Kana's shop tonight, at the old place."
