Chapter 573: An opportunity to clear the name of China’s machinery industry!

When Chang Haonan finished saying this, there was a sudden silence in the minibus.

Only the hum of the engine and the sound of the car outside the window were heard in everyone's ears.

Not only Yan Yongnian and Liao Xinhua, but also other people in the car who had just been chatting without interrupting.

I almost stopped thinking for a moment.

For them in this era, the amount of information received in a short period of time is indeed a bit too much.

Takes some time to digest.

So Chang Haonan was not in a hurry to continue talking, but waited quietly for a few minutes.

By the way, let the atmosphere brew again.

Finally, Yan Yongnian, who had already seen Chang Haonan's level, was the first to react:

"Mr. Chang, what do you mean...are you going to collect evidence and then go through the legal process?"

Obviously, his thinking is still relatively traditional.

"There is little point in going through the legal process."

Chang Haonan waved his hand and said in denial:

"Unless it can be proven that they have stolen trade secrets, the process parameters themselves do not constitute a patent. Besides, they did not take the technology and produce it themselves, they just changed hands."

"Furthermore, large companies like NSK Group will not directly engage in retail sales to ordinary consumers, and consumer fraud is out of the question. At most, Party A like Hangzhou Tooth Factory can only sue the other party for contract fraud, but this kind of lawsuit is a rip-off. The time is too long and the impact is very small. Even if they win the lawsuit, the most they will do is make them lose a lot of money."

These days, I'm afraid no one will think of avoiding OEM in advance when signing a contract with a foreign company.

Even if origin restrictions are added, this is a gray area that is difficult to define.

If the bearings are purchased centrally, shipped back to Japan, stamped with codes, and put into their own packaging, from a legal perspective, it is difficult to say that they are not produced in Japan.

Everyone around was stunned.

Immediately, someone quickly realized that since Chang Haonan said this, he obviously had other purposes besides getting compensation.

In fact, this set of operations of NSK Group is not unfamiliar to people sitting in the car.

It is not uncommon for domestic companies in China to OEM imported products and sell them as domestic products over the years.

This has even become one of the public conditions for many foreign companies to acquire domestic companies at the lowest price.

It's just that the reverse operation has never been seen before.

As the psychological shock that they experienced when they first heard the news gradually passed, everyone's IQs gradually regained their high ground.

"I think Mr. Chang's intention is to use this opportunity to reduce the domestic market share of Japanese bearing companies."

As a business manager, Liao Xinhua is relatively sensitive in this regard.

But he was obviously still a little conservative.

"Broaden your horizons. There is no need to just focus on the domestic market."

Chang Haonan adjusted his sitting posture and placed one hand on the small table in front of him:

"NSK Group has a considerable market share in the field of mid-to-high-end bearings around the world. Originally, the machinery manufacturing industry should have a lot of reputation and inertia, and it is not so easy to reshuffle."

"But this time, since they have given the opportunity, we must make the big news out and let the whole world know that NSK's bearings are actually produced and re-branded by us in China, so as to establish the brand image of domestic products. !”

Hearing this, Liao Xinhua couldn't sit still.

He has been working in the corporate world for more than 20 years and knows very well the significance of reputation and brand image.

Even when many countries buy weapons and equipment, they place orders with their eyes closed based on preferences, let alone the civilian market, which is more blind.

A good brand image brings extremely obvious buffs to the product.

For example, more than 20 years later, some Japanese cars that have been reduced to the limit are still selling tens of thousands of cars in China every month.

People's concepts are sometimes difficult to change.

But now, there is a big gift package sent by the Japanese themselves in front of them.

If done properly, not to mention replacing the other party's position in the industry in one fell swoop, at least whenever the NSK Group is mentioned in the future, others will immediately think of this OEM incident.

For current Chinese enterprises, this is already a great progress.

"In this case, we still need more conclusive evidence. After all, NSK still has a certain position in the industry. If Hangzhou Tooth Factory alone comes out to accuse, I'm afraid it won't be loud enough."

Liao Xinhua suppressed his inner excitement and fantasies about the future, and continued his analysis:

"It would be best to find more users like Hangzhou Gear Factory. We can even catch a wave of fish. First, we can purchase a batch of bearings from NSK, and then collect more evidence..."

Although he looks calm and calm on the surface, his voice is slightly different from usual.

"There's no need to go to such trouble."

Chang Haonan naturally saw at a glance the nature of the other party who was full of expectations but had to pretend to be calm due to the image, and replied with a smile in his tone:

"Although Ice Axis Group is not under the jurisdiction of the Equipment Industry Department now, I personally have some connections there. Besides, this matter will be of no harm to them, so just go and check their sales records."

"When NSK does this kind of thing, it must change hands through middlemen. However, when it comes to selling OEM products, it usually purchases them in centralized, regular and large quantities. It's not difficult to find them if you're interested."

"What else..."

At this point, he paused slightly:

"Japanese companies have a very strong guild nature, and there is a lot of cooperation among them. I don't believe that only NSK is doing this kind of thing."

!!!

The whole car seemed to sway slightly because of these words.

"If that's the case, that's really..."

Yan Yongnian didn't even know what words to use to describe his current mental state.

I originally wanted to say it was great, but I felt that it seemed a bit gloating, which was not in line with his personality as a scholar.

But Liao Xinhua didn't have this kind of psychological baggage, so he slapped his thigh and expressed his thoughts. :

"that is really good!"

"I never thought we would have a day where we can be proud and proud!"

If it is true as Chang Haonan said, then this may completely become an event that triggers a major earthquake in the entire bearing and even the entire machinery industry.

You must know that Japanese companies represented by Nippon Seiko (NSK), Toyo Seiko (NTN), and Koyo Seiko (KOYO) have formed an industrial alliance to a certain extent, and even compete with established European manufacturers on some products. There is a reply.

This is a huge bonus.

Chang Haonan stretched out his hand and pressed it down in mid-air, and then stopped the commotion in the car:

"This matter really needs to be planned carefully. You can't be impatient. You must have enough influence in the first wave and kill the opponent in a short time. So don't act in private. Let me make the unified plan!"

……

It should be said that Chang Haonan is very lucky.

On the night when this incident happened, after he returned to the capital, he immediately met Lan Xinzhi who came to him to report the news.

Although the latter has now risen half a level in rank and has become the leader of an independent department, the nature of his work has not changed much.

Essentially, I am still a secretary.

Of course the future is no longer the same.

"Mr. Chang, there is news from the Aviation Industry Import and Export Company that they have received an official letter from Eurocopter asking if we are interested in cooperating to develop a 10-ton general-purpose helicopter."

"Ten-ton level... isn't that the size of the Black Hawk? You can let the ice fly over there..."

Ten-ton helicopters are one of the two most popular classes of general-purpose helicopters (10 tons and 13 tons), and there is definitely a demand for them.

However, since there has been a precedent of cooperation with Agusta Company, this kind of thing should be familiar to Bingfei. Then we will see what form the other party hopes to cooperate in.

So what Chang Haonan subconsciously wanted to say was to let Bingfei directly take charge of the docking.

But halfway through his words, he suddenly realized that this should be an opportunity.

After much deliberation, he seemed to only have the NH10 among Eurocopter's 90-ton helicopters.

This is considered a dual-use model for both military and civilian use.

Although I don’t know what kind of tricks the other party has carried out to be able to carry out technical cooperation with China on a military product, if the OEM bearing matter can be allowed to break out in this matter, the impact will obviously be greater than Just a few domestic users are much larger.

From this perspective, the helicopter project itself is not that important.

After all, helicopters of the same level also have conflicting ecological niches. It is not easy to say whether China, especially military users, prefer the Black Hawk configuration or the NH90 configuration.

"Please put the information sent over there to me, and I'll see if I can ask Manager Yang to talk to Ou Zhi directly."
