Chapter 572 Breaking the filter on Japan starts with you and me

For Chinese people in this era, it is indeed difficult to imagine that data falsification can occur in developed countries.

Especially under the high-level marketing that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been spending money on for more than ten years, there is more or less a filter on Japanese companies in China.

Just like the spirit of craftsmanship.

Including after the reform and opening up, many domestic companies learned management and business operations, and most of the study subjects were Japanese companies at the beginning.

After all, from the perspective of the time, the two countries were both East Asian countries and had many cultural connections. Even if Japan's experience could not be directly copied, it would still be easier to adapt to it than the experience of Europe and the United States.

Of course, later on, some professionals gradually began to realize that something was not right. The things they learned were strange and of little use.

But basically I feel that the national conditions are different, and few people think about it at a deeper level.

But as a person who has been reborn, Chang Haonan's thinking is much broader than that of people of this era.

Large-scale fraud by Japanese companies was no longer news at all before he was reborn——

Rather, it would be rarer if any Japanese company had never committed any fraud.

Although the situation in the late 90s cannot be generalized to that in the 21s, Chang Haonan does not remember the specific misdeeds of the NSK Group.

But in short, the existing evidence has shown that the other party is highly suspected of fraud.

After all, those fake immortals in the previous life were able to find out twenty or thirty years of fake records when they were found out.

If you do the math, this is exactly where it will start in the 90s.

"Your Hangzhou Tooth Factory should still keep those test reports, right?"

After thinking for a moment, Chang Haonan asked.

"Of course, we must keep all these documents in case anything is unclear in the future."

The other party nodded and replied:

"If Mr. Chang needs it, we can provide you with a copy, but the original...according to the factory's regulations, unless there is an express request from the superior or the police, it must be kept in the file."

He was obviously worried that Chang Haonan would ask for the original immediately, so he took the vaccination first.

"It doesn't matter. A copy is enough. Please contact us as soon as possible and ask them to send this fax."

Chang Haonan tore off a page from the notebook he carried with him and wrote the fax number of Yang Huimei's office on it.

Although I had always thought about setting up a department responsible for publicity, Professor Yang later became more and more skilled in this area, and he continued to pluck hair from a sheep.

After all, the other party is also a senior executive of a state-owned enterprise, not an ordinary worker.

There is no psychological burden when squeezing it.

"Yes, I will do it after I go back today!"

……

For most of the other people in the car, this episode was a sideshow at best.

It seemed that after Chang Haonan learned about this, he was going to get to the bottom of it and investigate the situation.

In addition, in this round of organizational adjustment, Bingzhuo Group was not included in the management of the Equipment Industry Department, but directly became an ordinary local state-owned enterprise.

Therefore, some people are speculating whether Lan Xinzhi or Ding Gaoheng is planning to borrow Mr. Chang's hand to further expand their power by taking advantage of the momentum of the die forging press project.

However, not everyone is looking in the wrong direction.

After today's entire trip, on the way back to the city, Yan Yongnian specifically found Chang Haonan.

He is more familiar with the latter, and has heard that the other party has assisted several special steel companies and bearing gear companies in developing products, so it is easier than others to see some of the tricks.

"Mr. Chang, why do I feel that something is not right?"

"Last year, a few of my friends from the Bearing Research Institute accidentally mentioned that our country's bearing industry suddenly entered a small explosion stage, and specifically mentioned Ice Axis by name, and came up with a new product in the field of automotive bearings. Several good products…”

"If Bingxian Group used special means to obtain other people's process technology, it would be unlikely to share it with such fanfare that it would drive the entire industry forward, right?"

He did not directly mention Chang Haonan's name in the question.

After all, leaders may sometimes want to maintain some mystery.

"In this case, could it be a complete coincidence? The two companies developed very similar process technologies, and then happened to be very close in the performance of a certain batch of products?"

There was doubt in Liao Xinhua's tone, and he obviously felt that this possibility was low.

Performance characteristics are a bit similar to human fingerprints. Although it is theoretically possible that they will be the same, in fact the probability is completely negligible.

"Of course it can't be a coincidence."

Chang Haonan waved his hand, straightened the seat that he had just put down, and he also sat up:

"But have you ever thought about another possibility?"

Yan Yongnian and Liao Xinhua looked at each other. After thinking for a moment, they shook their heads almost simultaneously.

People's knowledge will not exceed the era in which they live.

It's normal for two people to react like this.

"The performance difference between the products produced by the two companies is smaller than that between different batches of products from the same company under normal circumstances. It can even make the Hangzhou Gear Factory think that the string installation will not affect the working stability, even if the same gear is used. It’s simply unrealistic to create a craft.”

"If the results on the test report are really what they just said, it means that these bearings not only use the same production technology, but are even made on the same assembly line!"

At the end of his sentence, Chang Haonan tapped the small table in front of him to emphasize the point.

"You mean...OEM?"

Liao Xinhua, who has been engaged in business operations for a long time, is more familiar with these things and blurted out immediately:

"That's where the Ice Axis Group comes from..."

Halfway through the answer that subconsciously popped into his mind, he realized something was wrong.

"No... the person just said that Ice Axis' products are cheaper, and the supply volume is still large. It is impossible for OEM to achieve low cost and high shipment volume at the same time..."

"That means..."

Yan Yongnian and Liao Xinhua both took a breath of air:

“Maybe it’s the other way around, where NSK Group purchases Bingzhuo Group’s products in bulk and then sells them under its own trademark?”

Chang Haonan nodded:

"It's not a possibility, but a high probability."

"This……"

Although they may have come up with this by themselves, the two of them still had an incredible feeling when Chang Haonan nodded.

It even means that the world view has collapsed.

The image of Japanese products has been established in China through various methods since the early days of reform and opening up.

In the past ten years, there has almost never been any large-scale challenge.

It is generally believed that although there is still a gap compared with the top European products, it basically achieves a perfect balance in price, performance and service.

In the Chinese market, it is generally classified into the ranks of high-end goods.

However, just today, the naked reality told them that a well-known Japanese company in the industry directly sells domestic products under the OEM...

According to the law of thousands of cockroaches, it is absolutely impossible for them to just use OEM products in this supply agreement.

However, it has never been discovered before.

"In other words, in terms of performance, the products of our Bingcheng Bearing Group are not inferior to NSK's original products at all?"

Yan Yongnian quickly figured out the joints:

"Otherwise, people would have discovered it long ago if they were using OEM goods to top up their accounts."

"It's not bad."

Chang Haonan gently shook his finger:

"The materials and processes used in these recent products of Ice Axis are all solutions provided by our Torch Group."

"I can't vouch for the big European manufacturers with a century-old heritage. After all, they have a lot of wealth, and they might be able to find some treasures from the old papers of the past. However, it is absolutely impossible for Japanese and Korean companies to develop the same level of technology in a short period of time. "

"They choose to sell OEM products not because of simple cost issues, but because they can't make them!"
