When will I have a long tassel?

After Yu Xiaohui introduced the overall design idea of ​​the machine tool, then Guo Daihui, the deputy chief engineer of the machine, came on stage to talk about the specific design of the machine tool, including various technical indicators of the machine tool. This technical seminar will last for two days, during which technical personnel responsible for the development of each subsystem will introduce the technical details. In order to reflect Puqi's role in this project, the meeting also specially arranged for Xu Mao, Dong Xiao and other Puqi engineers to introduce the needs of multi-station machine tools from the user's perspective and their evaluation of the machine tools.

Of course, the reporters went back to publish the article after listening to the introduction in the previous paragraph. Things like technical seminars have nothing to do with them. They themselves can’t understand it, and the media audience can’t understand it either. They are all told to potential potential reporters on the spot. Customers listen.

"You Tang Zifeng, you said it was a press conference, but it turned out to be your product promotion meeting on the spot. We at Puzhou Automobile paid for and provided the venue to promote it on the spot for you. You really made a good calculation."

At the cocktail party arranged by Puqi that night, Xia Chongjie walked up to Tang Zifeng with a glass of red wine and said with a smile.

"Oh, my little thoughts were actually seen through by Mr. Xia. I am not too subtle." Tang Zifeng smiled brightly and did not deny his plan.

Xia Chongjie smiled and said: "You have made things so obvious. If we can't see it, then it will be in vain that we have been fighting in the mall for so many years. Tang Zifeng, tell me, you have taken such a big advantage. What are you planning to do?" How can you repay us Puqi?"

"You have to give us another 20% off on the price." Mo Jingrong, the deputy general manager of Puzhou Automobile, who came forward, said.

Tang Zifeng said with a bitter face: "Mr. , are you still short of the two-fold price difference?"

"Haha, if you just sell a car for 1 million, do you think you are selling cabbage?" Xia Chongjie choked with a smile, but did not continue the topic of price, but turned to the other side: "Zifeng, you guys We can easily understand why you have invited so many car companies to this technical seminar. But you also invited so many colleagues from machine tool companies to come here. What is the purpose? You are not afraid of leaking technical secrets and others snatching yours. market?"

"Yes, Mr. Xia and I are both puzzled." Noila Mo said.

Tang Zifeng said: "This is not surprising. In our machine tool industry, everyone has always collaborated with each other. We have a mechanism called Machine 20, which still exists today. I am still the Secretary-General of Machine 20."

"I've heard of this." Xia Chongjie said, "That was ten years ago. I told many people in the industry at that time that the Machine Tool Industry was doing great things. You were Factory Director Zhou and you, Zifeng, are all great people. Everyone says that colleagues are enemies. It is not easy for you to unite colleagues to form an alliance. It requires great wisdom."

Tang Zifeng said: "Mr. "

"Haha, that's the truth. You're right." Xia Chongjie didn't care about Tang Zifeng's narration, because internal fighting in the automobile industry is an open matter. I say it often, but it's not really an offense.

Tang Zifeng continued: "Our machine tool industry is facing pressure from foreign machine tool manufacturers. At the worst time, more than 90% of the domestic high-end machine tool market was occupied by foreign countries, and almost half of the mid- to low-end market was in the hands of foreign manufacturers. . Ten years ago, there were hundreds of Korean machine tool companies seeking gold in the country. Salesmen would say "Smecta" and they could steal the market from large state-owned enterprises like us.

“Tell me, if domestic companies like us are still fighting among ourselves at this time, hiding our little bit of technology and refusing to share it with our peers, what will be the final result?

"To be honest, we don't really have any great wisdom. It's just that the situation is too severe, just like the weather is too cold, and everyone has to huddle together for warmth, otherwise China's machine tool industry will be completely wiped out."

"It's very rare to see this." Xia Chongjie praised, "Actually, now our automobile industry is gradually beginning to face this problem. In the country's commitment to joining the WTO, the protection of the automobile industry has a time limit. The country also requires us to master core technologies as soon as possible to cope with the inevitable impact of imported cars on the domestic market in the future."

"Yes, we all have to face the world eventually." Tang Zifeng replied perfunctorily.

As a time traveler, Tang Zifeng knows that it will be more than ten years before the domestic automobile industry truly feels the crisis. Now is the time when domestic automobile demand is exploding, with an annual growth rate of more than ten percentage points. Everyone is busy competing for land, and who cares about core technologies.

However, in this case, there is no need for Tang Zifeng to say it in front of Xia Chongjie and the others. These two are both senior and in charge of such a large company with annual sales of hundreds of billions. How can they be willing to listen to the nagging of a young man like him? . The two sides had a dispute not long ago, and the current harmony is still very fragile. If possible, it is best not to cause trouble.

Xia Chongjie didn't intend to say anything more about his own industry. He continued to ask: "So, Zifeng, you mean, you are also prepared to share the technology of multi-station automotive machine tools with other machine tool companies. ?Isn’t this such a pity?”

"We can't eat at this opportunity." Tang Zifeng said, "Mr. Xia and Mr. Mo also saw what happened at the meeting today. Even now, look at it, the leaders of those car companies have also entangled our people. , this will definitely be talking about the introduction of our multi-station machine tools.

"With so many companies putting forward demands at the same time, how can we, a small Linji Group, survive? Rather than letting Someno and Heimsat take over the market, it is better for us to contribute our technology and let domestic companies take over the market. , not leaving a mouthful of soup for the foreign devils and little devils."

"I understand, Zifeng is so courageous." Xia Chongjie praised with a thumbs up.

Mo Jingrong said: "Mr. Tang's approach is actually the strategy of consolidating control during the Warring States Period. Compared with foreign rivals such as Someno and Heimsat, domestic companies such as Changji and Qingji will not pose a threat to Linji. You would rather It's a very clever strategy to give the market to Changji and the others without letting Someno and the others take it away."

Tang Zifeng made no secret of it: "Sooner or later we will have a battle with Someno. If we can weaken them a little now, we can weaken them a little. When we compete with Someye for the international market in the future, its competitiveness will not be so strong."

"Look, everyone is already targeting the international market, and we are still grabbing this domestic product." Xia Chongjie said, pretending to be ashamed.

Tang Zifeng said: "Actually, Mr. Xia and Mr. Mo, allowing these domestic companies to enter the automotive machine tool market will also be beneficial to your automotive companies."

"Ha, it's hard to say." Mo Jingrong said, "Originally, we were able to purchase a full set of multi-station machine tools, but other companies did not have enough financial strength to purchase such equipment. Now you have lowered the threshold and everyone can use it. , our competitive advantage is gone. So, Mr. Tang, without saying anything, just said that we are the first to buy your equipment, and you have to give us a 20% discount, otherwise I can follow your lead."

Tang Zifeng automatically filtered out Mo Jingrong's blackmail, and said, "Mr. Mo, this is not the benefit I'm talking about. Multi-station automotive machine tools have just started to be used in our country, and all kinds of data are blank. If it is only used by Puqi, the data accumulation speed will be too slow, and it will be difficult to support us in updating and upgrading.

"Now that every car company has begun to use it, we can aggregate the data used by each company, so that we can continuously introduce new ones. Our group's technology department has given me a guarantee, saying that as long as there is enough data, They will ensure that a new generation of technology is updated every two years, and within 10 years, our country's automotive machine tool technology will reach the world's first-class level, even surpassing the technology used by major European, American and Japanese car companies."

"Seriously?" Xia Chongjie and Mo Jingrong became serious this time. The conversation they had with Tang Zifeng just now was actually just a casual chat, the purpose of which was just to get closer to each other. But what Tang Zifeng just said is directly related to their interests.

With the development of modern industry, there is an increasing reliance on user data. As an automobile company, Puzhou Automobile has actually been collecting user usage data, including their usage habits, main fault types and causes, component wear and tear, etc. Based on this data, the technical department can optimize the car design. This will lead to the introduction of more competitive models.

The same is true for machine tools. With the accumulation of user data, machine tool companies will know which aspects should be improved, so that they can continuously improve the quality and performance of machine tools.

Of course, foreign companies that produce automotive machine tools are doing the same, but the new machine tools they launch will be given priority to foreign car companies. By the time Chinese car companies can get these machine tools, the technology has already lagged behind.

If Chinese machine tool companies can produce automotive machine tools that reach the world's advanced level, then domestic car companies like them will be blessed. The competitiveness of automobile companies comes from many aspects, and manufacturing capabilities are also a very important aspect.

The reason why Puqi has been reluctant to use machine tools on the machine before is because it feels that their machine tools are not as advanced as Someno's. Now that I think about it, it would be a good thing to spend some time supporting the domestic machine tool industry. At least we won't have to be blackmailed by foreign companies in the future.
