Chapter 601: A Profound Lesson for the Japanese!
In principle, the testing center is only responsible for giving conclusions, not for analysis.
But in fact, the meaning in the test report is very clear.
"The samples taken directly from the batch supply this time are completely different from the previous ones."
Basically, it is equivalent to saying that after the supplier passes the first test and gets the contract, it begins to provide substandard products in batches.
And the design of this substandard product is still relatively exquisite.
If it weren't for the NH90's drivetrain margin, there would be no problem in a short period of time.
Even if the problem is found later, it will basically only be slightly affected by the lifespan, and it can easily be counted as a normal deviation between the calculation result and the actual situation.
Hardly anyone thinks about a substandard part.
"Dr. Pierre, you take your breath first."
Wang Xibo first briefly comforted Pierre, who was about to blow up his hair, and then looked at the report in his hand, and asked with a complicated expression:
"You ...... Won't every batch of samples be sampled? ”
"Dr. Wang, is this...... It's a long story......"
Pierre, who sat back in his chair, shook his head, then sighed softly.
Immediately afterwards, he explained to Wang Xibo the reason for this situation.
Of course, Eurocopter Group will also conduct random tests on products, but after all, destructive tests need to be done, and the cost of this bearing is quite a lot, so the frequency is actually very low.
In terms of operation, as long as you can buy the ghosts at the middle level or even the grassroots level, you can prepare in advance and deliver a batch of qualified products in a targeted manner.
Of course, there are many loopholes in this system, but there has been no major mess for so many years, and the world, at least the high-end industry, has been maintained like this.
Because every component in the industrial chain should know that maintaining this seemingly flawed quality system is the best result for everyone.
The cost of increasing the sampling rate, whether economic, human or time, is outrageous, and it is completely wasteful.
It's better to maintain trust in each other, so that everyone can earn more.
"Originally, of course, there were people who worked on quality before, but they wouldn't take advantage of this vulnerability."
"At most, it is to buy the fake report of the third-party testing agency, after all, few Party A can test completely on its own like us."
At this, Pierre closed his eyes in some pain, and tapped the report on the table with both hands:
"But now, the first guy to completely break the rules has appeared."
"Once trust is destroyed, there's little way to rebuild it."
"This set of things will soon be out of play......"
Thinking rationally, Wang Xibo was able to understand what Pierre was saying.
NSK's operation is equivalent to directly lifting the table where everyone eats, which will greatly increase the operating cost of every link in the entire market.
However, considering that Hua Xia had never been at this table, it was difficult for him to have any empathetic thoughts.
"Originally, we also sent experts to investigate this matter, and we should be there tomorrow morning. But it seems that he doesn't need to do anything other than sign and draw conclusions. ”
Wang Xibo looked at the appraisal report with a somewhat helpless expression.
After a slight pause, he looked up again and looked at Pierre behind his desk:
"What are you going to do about bearings?"
"Although we found out in time and did not cause too much damage, the test flight work will definitely have to be suspended for a while until the next reliable supplier is found."
Hearing this, Pierre also sat up straight:
"What to do...... Naturally, it is a claim, and this matter will be handled by the legal department, but you and I don't need to bother with anything. ”
"But I still need to write a few reports to explain the cause of the problem to several defense departments."
This matter, because it really has nothing to do with Bingfei and Eurocopter, so the follow-up processing is actually not complicated.
On the contrary, to a certain extent, it also confirms that the design taken out by Bingfei Group is indeed exquisite.
Enough, not wasted.
As for Pierre, he was currently exhausted by the NH90 project itself, so although he hated NSK's fraud very much, he decided to focus on technology after considering the big picture.
On the one hand, delivering the aircraft as soon as possible is the number one priority at the moment, and entanglement with NSK will not help this process.
On the other hand, as Pierre said before, the bigger the incident, the more damage it will do to the old set of market rules based on mutual trust.
Therefore, if nothing else, this matter will most likely pass.
At most, the subsequent claims and court confrontations may attract some media attention, plus the inclusion of NSK Group in the supplier blacklist.
……
In the afternoon of the same day, that is, the evening here in Huaxia.
Chang Haonan, who was summarizing and analyzing the components and test results of the turbofan 10, received a report from Bingfei Group on the follow-up development of this matter.
was so angry that he almost got up.
Chang Haonan originally prepared a set of combination punches to target the entire Japanese manufacturing industry.
As a result, he didn't expect Eurocopter Group to tend to keep a low profile in this matter.
In this way, although NSK will definitely still be hit hard, if the operation in the last few months is only for a certain company, it will be a real loss.
Thinking of this, he picked up the red telephone receiver on his desk and prepared to call Lan Xinzhi from the Equipment Industry Division.
But when I put my finger on the number button, I didn't dial it for a long time.
After a moment of hesitation, he finally put the receiver back.
"Hoo ......"
Chang Haonan exhaled a long breath of turbidity, calmed down his mood, and muttered in a low voice:
"It's better to wait and see......"
If Ocopter decides to stop there, it doesn't make much difference if he hits his combination early or late.
But if you wait a little longer, there may be a turnaround.
Gambling is a bit like gambling in a way.
You can't control all external factors.
But if you can always make the optimal choice rationally, then with a large sample size, you will definitely win in the end.
As a result, he really made him wait.
When Liu Hongbo, who had traveled all the way, landed in Marseille and finally arrived at Eurocopter's headquarters, he was faced with an investigation report that had even been written.
"We are not responsible for this matter at all, and the follow-up matters will also be handled by Eurocopter's legal department, so ...... Professor Liu, all you need to do is sign here. ”
In Pierre's office, Wang Xibo pointed to the signature column at the end of the report helplessly and said to Liu Hongbo.
Originally, all three of them should have been present at this time.
But Pierre had just been called out by a phone call.
"Did they really buy counterfeit bearings?"
After reading the content of the report, the latter's eyes were so shocked that their eyes were about to bulge.
When Bingfei reported to Chang Haonan yesterday, Liu Hongbo was already on his way to the airport, so he was almost the last person to learn the truth of the matter.
"It sounds outrageous, but ...... It's really that simple. ”
Wang Xibo replied:
"I'm also surprised that a Japanese company would be so brazen and crude......
Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud bang at the office door.
Pierre almost kicked the door open and walked in angrily, muttering something to the ground.
During this time, Wang Xibo also knew a little French, but the other party spoke too fast and still couldn't hear the specific content.
However, judging from some keywords, it should be something that is not easy to review.
"Pierre, what's going on?"
Wang Xibo tried to calm Pierre down.
"Just now, people from the public relations department and the legal department told me that NSK Group rejected our claim!"
Pierre sat on the office chair, his face was as black as Tyrell, and he was obviously angry:
"They said we didn't have enough evidence to prove that it was their group that sent us products that didn't perform up to standard."
"Huh?"
Liu Hongbo, who had already learned the truth of the matter from the report, was directly shocked:
"No, the test report has already been slapped on the face, can this still be hard-mouthed?"
"Their legal department said that the difference between the sample and the final product may also be caused by our internal people in the middle of the package, and we need to come up with stronger evidence!"
Pierre was also laughed at when he said this:
"I originally wanted to deal with this matter in a low-key manner, but now it seems that I have to teach them a profound lesson!"
