Chapter 466 The Japanese Bearing Industry Feels a Little Uneasy......
"Not so good......"
Chang Haonan hesitated:
"Isn't there a need to avoid this kind of thing?"
"Hey, even if you avoid suspicion, that's a saying that only exists between immediate family members, and you two are not related by blood, just classmates, what is there to avoid."
Ding Gaoheng immediately waved his hand and said that there was no need to worry:
"Besides, he is only a partner in that company, and the big boss has someone else, if you are really worried, you can directly negotiate with them in the name of the torch company."
"Director Ding, I don't have any plans to involve cross-border labor dispatch at present......
For Chang Haonan, as an enterprise with algorithms and software as its main products, if the scale is too large, it will involve too much energy, and the ship is difficult to turn around, and its flexibility is far less than the current studio-like volume.
Therefore, as long as he can continue to work in the field of numerical computing, he has no intention of expanding the scope and scale of his business.
Based on the experience of M50 NiL steel and new bearings, it is entirely feasible to sell frame solutions and thus hand over the development to other companies.
In this way, we can maintain a relatively small personnel composition and avoid making the torch company a behemoth with rigid reactions, and secondly, we can also work in the same direction with other enterprises, form a joint force, and play a combination of punches......
In short, you can't eat everything and occupy everything, so as to save infighting.
"I didn't let you connect with the business......"
Ding Gaoheng said and sorted out the report in his hand and handed it to Chang Haonan:
"For things like this, they are the white gloves of the state, and they definitely can't sign a contract in the open, and many conditions can only be verbal guarantees, which depends on the level of trust between the two parties. We already know each other, and you are now young and promising, so it will be easier for you to speak more convincingly......"
"Oh...... That's fine. ”
Chang Haonan took the file, glanced at it twice, and nodded.
In good conscience, he is actually a very low-key person.
But since he was pretending to be forced, he could only reluctantly violate his heart......
……
At the same time, NSK Group's office in Huaxia.
Qing Jingbin put several bearing samples in a small plastic bag, along with the corresponding test report, on Haneda Shunsuke's table.
A few days ago, after an on-the-spot investigation, he found that Jinling Automobile had changed the supplier of wheel bearings and manual transmission bearings from NSK to Huaxia Enterprise, and then flew non-stop to another user who also reduced the number of orders, that is, Bingcheng Automobile Group for investigation.
Originally, because the ice city was too far away, they actually didn't have any connections over there, and Qing Jingbin was even ready to fight a protracted battle.
This time, however, the results came out faster.
Perhaps relying on the proximity to the water, although the new cars sold are still equipped with NSK products, the after-sales and maintenance departments of Bingcheng Automobile have begun to put new domestic bearings.
Of course, there is another reason that Songhuajiang is positioned as a passenger car, and the replacement of wheel bearings only needs to be tested for a single product, and there is no need to do vehicle testing like Jinling Iveco's commercial vehicles, so it will save a lot of time.
In short, all the words he prepared were useless, but he spent a little money to buy a few new wheel bearings in batches, and then brought them back as samples for analysis and testing.
And the test report was in front of Shunsuke Haneda.
For a moment, Shunsuke Haneda thought that there was something wrong with his language module, so that he misread the contents of the inspection report-
Because the test results clearly show that the performance of these samples bought from Bingcheng is even better than the products produced by NSK.
"Qingjun, what this report means is that the performance of these bearings is better than that of our company...... Is it still good? ”
After repeatedly confirming the contents of the report, Haneda, who still couldn't believe it, asked Qing Jingbin again.
"Yes, we have analyzed the entire bearing, as well as the inner and outer rings, balls and cages, and the results show that the life expectation of the bearing is 150% of our company's similar products, the stiffness and strength are basically the same, and the drag moment is only 71%, and the consistency is very high."
Qing Jingbin nodded and replied in a solemn tone:
"Overall...... It's better than our products in all aspects. ”
In fact, he had a hard time believing the results at first.
You must know that the life of the bearings produced by Huaxia before is not even one-fifth of that of NSK products, and because the drag torque is larger and more irregular, it will even lead to an increase in fuel consumption and a decrease in driving stability, which is completely uncompetitive.
However, the performance of the few bearings bought this time is simply reborn.
"What was it you said last time...... Northeast Special Steel produces? ”
Shunsuke Haneda picked up one of the bags containing the bearing sample from the table and looked at it in front of his eyes, as if he could see the difference with the naked eye.
"Hmm...... I went there to find out on the spot, the manufacturer of these bearings is the local Bingcheng Bearing Group, and Northeast Special Steel should provide raw materials or key components such as balls. ”
"What about the price? What about the price? ”
Being able to ask such a question obviously shows that Shunsuke Haneda has lost his mind.
If the price is higher than that of imported bearings, then Jinling Automobile and Bingcheng Automobile may not consider switching to domestic models from the beginning......
Sure enough, Qing Jingbin said that it was exactly the same as the previous NSK model, 200 yuan each, and 4 700 yuan at a time.
This price made Shunsuke Haneda want to scream when he heard it.
Their bearings are produced and then shipped to Huaxia, the cost is about 30 yuan a piece, and selling them to the main engine factory is to earn 200% or 100 yuan with tears.
And the other party doesn't even have to change the packaging, and it is 100% profitable to pour it into one hand......
No wonder they all want to build cars......
Having said that, in any case, since the other party's quotation is the same, it means that the supply cost of the two sides is at least basically the same.
It's not good that the domestic ones are cheaper.
Otherwise, from the perspective of car companies, if they only improve performance and cannot reduce costs, there is not much incentive to replace a new part.
At least there's no need to be in such a hurry.
Just wait for the facelift next year, and it can be used as an upgrade.
After all, according to the data on the test report, if you calculate further, after replacing the bearing, the fuel consumption of the car can be reduced by about 0.2L per 100 kilometers......
Of course, the NSK supplies to Bingcheng Automobile is not the highest-end model, but mechanical products are such a thing, you get what you pay for, two cents for a dime, and three cents for a dollar, if you want to improve the product grade to ensure performance, this price difference is definitely more than a few times as simple.
In other words, for the time being, there is no way......
"Alright, it's okay, you go down first."
A distraught Haneda Shunsuke waved his hand at Kyung-bin and signaled for the other party to leave.
However, the latter did not turn around immediately, but asked again tentatively:
"Minister Haneda, how do you think we should deal with this?"
Shunsuke Haneda, who heard this question, glared at his subordinate, who is usually very discerning-
If he had a solution, he would have come up with it a long time ago.
However, at this time, of course, it is impossible for him to admit this publicly, so he has to find a casual excuse to support the past:
"Of course, it is to let the company speed up the construction of factories and reduce the cost of bearings, and the worst case is nothing more than a price war."
This statement is half-true.
He said that he didn't count the progress of the company's factory construction, but the price war was indeed one of his means to press the bottom of the box.
In the past, when competing with SKF for the market, this method was tried and tested.
Of course, SKF's biggest advantage is that German car companies entered the Chinese joint venture early, which set up a very stable foundation for European bearing companies, while Japanese car companies reacted much more slowly......
"Minister Haneda, fighting a price war with Chinese companies is definitely more than worth the loss for us......
Qing Jingbin has scolded Haneda Shunsuke as a stupid pig in his heart, but he definitely can't show it on his face:
"Our NSK in the positioning and cost is lower than SKF, and they fight a price war of course does not matter, but Huaxia Bearing has always been synonymous with the lowest end of the product, if we really and Bingcheng Bearing to fight the price, it is equivalent to directly smashing the NSK brand, even if it wins, it is also a self-loss of 800 enemies and 1,000 Na......"
Hearing this analysis, Haneda secretly frowned:
"Of course, I know that the price war is not a good way, but now the quality of the other party's bearings is better, so that the head office is unlikely to update the product in a short period of time, do not fight the price war, the market performance will be affected sooner or later, which is absolutely unacceptable to you and me."
"Or, Qingjun, what better can you do?"
