Chapter 54 Have you heard of Xinsheng?
Behind the reception hall, there are some showrooms displaying some of SAIC's industrial products, such as engine cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, camshaft cover assembly, direct injection rail assembly and other parts.
"These are products we manufacture, and many of them have been used in our independent car brands, thanks to their super high quality. Our SAIC Group's car sales have always been at the forefront of China!" Lei Xu introduced proudly.
He originally wanted to showcase SAIC Group's technical skills, but a few people from ThyssenKrupp were not catching a cold.
One of them said: "It's very good, but there are still some shortcomings in terms of part accuracy and strength."
Lei Xu and others were immediately embarrassed. These products were okay for laymen to see, but in front of ThyssenKrupp, the king of this field, these products could not catch their eyes.
The most important thing is that it is precisely because they can't do better on their own that they need to cooperate with companies like ThyssenKrupp.
He continued to introduce, but he no longer had the confidence in his heart. Lei Xu's original idea was to show SAIC Group's independent R&D level, but Jonas and others could always find the shortcomings, which was counterproductive.
On the other side, in the reception room, Du Mingxuan waited for more than an hour, but the front desk still said that Manager Lei was busy and had no time to receive him.
"When is Manager Lei's time?" Li Gucheng asked.
"Sorry, I don't know this. I'll notify you when he finishes his work." The front desk said.
Du Mingxuan shook his head. It seemed that the other party didn't take them seriously at all, and probably didn't bother to listen to them explaining their products.
"Then let's wait." Li Gucheng was a little unwilling to accept it. This time he brought real materials, but no one paid attention to it!
"Wait a little longer." Du Mingxuan also agreed that business is not smooth, and no matter how good the product is, he has to make his reputation. Just like his Z time and space mold manufacturing company, if it weren't for Gu Yuan, Yang Bufan and others who helped promote it, he wouldn't have received orders for props for those movies. The same is true for engine parts now, and he has to make his reputation first.
When Xinsheng has a certain strength, it is no longer them looking for partners, but the demanders come to him!
"If you are interested, you can visit our industrial products in the exhibition hall at the back." The front desk reminded kindly.
"Let's go and have a look." Du Mingxuan said.
In the exhibition hall, Lei Xu and the others had not left yet, and these people were discussing fiercely.
"According to your engine performance requirements, we can design and manufacture the corresponding camshafts and crankshafts. The quotation cannot be changed. Our price is already very favorable!" Jonas said, "As far as I know, the price of the island country Denso you mentioned is definitely not cheaper than us."
"Mr. Jonas, Huaxia Tianrui, Yuzhou Central Axle suppliers give us quotations six to eight points lower than you!" Lei Xu emphasized.
"But they can't make such a good product!" Jonas pointedly, "The new engine you want to design requires higher speeds, so the requirements for parts cannot be just camshafts and crankshafts of this level in your exhibition hall."
"Just like this crankshaft, its bending resistance, torsional fatigue strength and stiffness cannot withstand the engine power output you require. There may be no problem in a short period of time, but after the engine runs for one or two years, it will fail! The pressure-bearing surface and wear resistance of this shaft journal must also be large enough, which is strictly required for the process of the parts during casting! "
"As far as I know, none of the Chinese suppliers you mentioned just now have such technology. I can even say that no Chinese manufacturer can reach our level. Of course, the price of such products is a little cheaper. You get what you pay for."
Jonas' assistant also said: "Manager Lei, if you can find suppliers of the same level in China and the price is still so low, then we have nothing to say. The current price is indeed in the interests of both parties."
Lei Xu secretly complained in his heart that it is in your interests, right? But then again, Jonas and the others are right. If domestic manufacturers have this technology, why do you need to find them? ThyssenKrupp makes a lot of technical money.
"Who said there was no? Our Huaxia company can also make such a product." A "inappropriate" sentence came, interrupting the discussion between them.
In the exhibition hall, there were only Lei Xu, Jonas and others, so the new Du Mingxuan was naturally speaking.
Jonas frowned slightly and asked Lei Xu, "Manager Lei, who are these?"
Lei Xu was not understanding. He didn't know these people. Judging from their clothes, they were not internal employees of SAIC Group.
He asked, "Who are you?"
"I'll introduce myself. We are from Huajin Xinsheng Parts Processing Factory. My name is Du Mingxuan." Du Mingxuan generously introduced himself.
"Are you Xinsheng's people?" Lei Xu remembered that there were these people waiting. He immediately said: "I am the business manager Lei Xu. I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time, but I still have affairs to do now."
"So you are Manager Lei, lucky! I am the factory director of Xinsheng, Li Gucheng." Li Gucheng said immediately.
"Director Li, our matter has not been finished yet. You can wait a while and then talk about your affairs when we finish talking." Lei Xu finished sending Li Gucheng and said to the people from ThyssenKrupp, "Mr. Jonas, why don't we go to the conference room to talk?"
"No hurry." Jonas looked at Du Mingxuan and said, "I'm very curious. Mr. Du just said that China Company can also make such products. Do you really know what I'm talking about?"
"Of course I know." Du Mingxuan walked up and pointed to the camshaft and crankshaft in the exhibition hall and said, "Those are these two you just said!"
"It's these two, but we're not talking about these in the exhibition hall, but products with higher technical difficulties. Products with the same name have a huge difference in technology and technology!" Jonas smiled slightly, "If you understand, you wouldn't have said that just now."
Technically emphasizing one's own position is something Jonas often does. This behavior often strengthens the determination of Huaxia Automobile Industry Corporation to purchase their products, and it has been tried and tested.
"If you understand our Xinsheng's technical level, you won't say that." Du Mingxuan was not hit by his words, but showed an inexplicable confidence, so confident that others felt inexplicable.
"Xinsheng?" Jonas asked in confusion: "Sorry, I'm sorry for my ignorance. What business does your company do?"
"We also make camshafts and crankshafts," said Du Mingxuan.
Jonas said in surprise: "It's actually a fellow traveler! And I haven't heard of it before, do you know?" He looked at the left and right, and several Thyssenkrupp companies shook their heads together, saying that they had never heard of it.
Lei Xu took the initiative to introduce, "The Xinsheng Parts Processing Factory is not large in size, and it is normal that you have never heard of it. Mr. Jonas, let's go to the conference room to discuss the main business first. As for Mr. Du and Director Li, if you are willing, you can visit here for a while."
