Chapter 469 OEM Production
In fact, Haneda Shunsuke's idea is also very simple.
The actions at the media level will be as Qing Jingbin said.
As for products, it is impossible to raise the bar again.
On the one hand, the original standards are not as good as these purchased bearing samples.
On the other hand, their current costs are already very high. The little cost extracted on the production line is quickly consumed by the complicated administrative processes. If the standards are adjusted back to what they were a few years ago, a bearing will be shipped after it is manufactured. It will be equivalent to about 60-70 yuan in China, which will only lead to further compression of profit margins and make it even less competitive.
So Shunsuke Haneda just came up with a bold idea.
Just find a third-party company with a relatively hidden identity, buy the finished products directly from Bingcheng Bearing, and then sell them under OEM.
The quality of my product is exactly the same as yours. I have replaced it with the noble NSK company LOGO, and coupled with the media offensive as a combination boxing, the price is only 50% higher. Is it very conscientious?
As a result, their profit margin for every bearing sold in China is much higher than in the past, and even compared to the real manufacturer Bingcheng Bearing Group.
perfect.
And later that day, after Haneda Shunsuke expressed his thoughts to his direct superior at the headquarters, Oda Tatsumi, even he did not expect that the other party would almost without thinking...
agreed.
"Boss Oda, this..."
Even as a close confidant of Oda Tatsumi, Haneda was a little confused by the other party's reaction.
He recalled that when he first saw the test report, his first reaction was that he didn't believe it at all.
How could the Chinese make better bearings than NSK?
Even if they lower the production standards, it should be a dimensionality reduction attack.
Oda Tatsumi accepted the report almost immediately...
He almost blurted out and wanted to ask the other party, have you never thought about the authenticity of the content?
Fortunately, I held it in in the end.
"Haneda-kun, do you want to ask why I believed this report so quickly?"
He didn't know if it was Haneda's illusion, but he found that Oda Tatsuki's mood on the phone sounded even a little excited, but he nodded immediately:
"Yes, Minister Odamoto."
"Because a few days ago, the marketing department on Chunzhongjima asked us if we had put cheap low-end bearings in China to seize the market. Because they found that the sales data of bearing parts were abnormal, and several companies had reduced their sales or even stopped selling them altogether. Orders for the fourth quarter of this year or next year have been cancelled.”
As a senior executive at the headquarter level, Oda may not have as direct access to information as Shunsuke Haneda in China, but he is definitely not an old stubborn who lives in an information cocoon:
"So, I speculated at that time that maybe the Chinese people had come up with some kind of substitute."
"But, Chief, how could the Chinese suddenly..."
In fact, even now, Haneda still finds it unbelievable.
There must be some truth to the development of manufacturing industry, right?
"Who knows, maybe they bought some technology from the Russians or some other country."
Oda on the other end of the phone still had a relaxed tone, and there was no sense of urgency:
"In short, it is not important to me. Our bearings are mainly supplied to domestic companies and exported to North America, South Korea and Southeast Asia. The Chinese will not be able to threaten these places in a short time. What's more, this question you proposed If there is a way, then there will be nothing to worry about.”
"in addition……"
Oda hesitated for a moment, but after a moment he continued:
"The timing of this incident is just right. It can be used to attack those in the Inagaki faction. If it is done well, it is not impossible that I can take over the task next year..."
Haneda Shunsuke suddenly understood.
Inagaki Eiichi, the leader of the Inagaki faction, is the head of the group responsible for product development and production. He has always been at odds with Oda, who is in charge of marketing. However, NSK's main business is in machinery manufacturing, especially bearings, which is an enterprise-oriented field, so later The author has always been suppressed.
This time is just the right time for a counterattack.
And if Oda can be promoted to a special position, Haneda, his confidant, will naturally have a bright future.
So he couldn't wait to ask:
"Then, Chief, regarding the matter of building a factory in China... should you consider shelving it for now?"
"no need."
Oda immediately rejected the proposal:
"First of all, we can't force the people on Inagaki's side to a dead end. If he really risked his life and perished with the entire group, it wouldn't be easy to solve. Secondly, if something happens in the future, we can also logically remove the bearing. The problem of reduced quality is put on the Chinese people.”
The internal fighting between Oda and Inagaki is a bit like the Cold War. Both sides have enough inside information to make NSK explode, but like nuclear weapons, no one is willing to use them unless they go to the last step.
Who wants to die if he can live?
"The bearings produced by Huaxia Factory..."
"Make some differences that are not reflected in the contract and sell them at a discount as low-end products..."
"Okay, then I'll do it right away..."
……
At this time, Chang Haonan didn't know that his saucy operations had begun to change the world, at least the pattern of East Asia's manufacturing industry.
The new equipment he had been waiting for for so long finally arrived.
Although the name of the new institution established by Beijing Airlines is "Compressor Research Center", it is just trying to sell dog meat. In fact, according to Tang Lintian's ambition, this should become a full-field research institution for aerospace engines.
Therefore, when he first formulated the plan, he not only limited his attention to experimental compressors.
Experimental equipment related to combustion chambers and turbines was also purchased.
Among them is a non-contact temperature measuring platform that Chang Haonan urgently needs right now.
Of course, it's not just a thermometer, it also includes a flame tube for combustion heating, and a compressor that can deliver sufficient air flow, so that the working conditions of the combustion chamber or turbine can be simulated during engine operation.
Liu Yongquan stood not far from Chang Haonan, looking down at the operating instructions in front of him, issuing instructions one after another, while the latter was climbing up and down to adjust the equipment.
Originally, given Chang Haonan's current status, this kind of thing could be completed by a specialized equipment operator, but this aerospace thermometer was customized by him from the 410 Factory based on similar equipment he had seen in later generations. It was debugged for the first time. I really don’t trust anyone else to do it.
"Mr. Chang, are you planning to switch to the impingement cooling method on our new engine?"
While the equipment computer started the self-test, Liu Yongquan raised his head and asked Chang Haonan.
Although he is mainly responsible for the design of the compressor part, because he follows Chang Haonan all day long, he is inevitably exposed to several other aspects of work.
Looking at the test data on the table next to him, Liu Yongquan really couldn't think of any other way to increase the overall cooling efficiency to 0.7 or higher.
You must know that even on the turbine blades of CFM56 or AL31F, this number is only about 0.4-0.5.
It is true that higher cooling efficiency can reduce the requirements for turbine materials, or increase the service life when the materials are the same, but impingement cooling itself is not friendly to jet engines that require stable airflow, and large-area impingement cooling requires jets seams will also cause unnecessary flow loss.
"of course not……"
Chang Haonan shook his head and began to set the initial test parameters on the computer:
"I have a more imaginative way!"
