Chapter 358 Nanshan Technology begins to show its power
Corrugated pipes are not a new thing. After all, they are used in many places in the industrial field.
For example, in the aerospace and measurement fields, bellows have their own uses.
Even the engines of Space Exploration Technology's starship spacecraft have bellows to buffer vibrations.
“Lao Hou, this is a new generation of corrugated pipes that I plan to have Nanshan Technology conduct trial production on.”
"Compared with the bellows currently used in the exhaust pipes of some luxury cars, its weight has dropped directly from about 1.5 kilograms to 0.5 kilograms, but the shock absorption performance has not only not declined, but has been greatly improved."
“Strength and other aspects of the requirements can also fully meet the needs of various types of passenger car exhaust systems.”
“According to my design, the inner and outer pipes of this bellows The tube is hydraulically formed from a thin stainless steel plate and corrugated. "
"A stainless steel wire mesh is placed between the inner tube and the outer tube, and a layer of stainless steel wire is also placed on the outermost layer. Weaving mesh and shrinking the ends at the same time.”
“Even if we fix this corrugated pipe into one specification, it can be applied to many types of automobile exhaust systems.”
"Because there is a certain margin for adjusting the outer diameter when welding the constrictions at both ends of the bellows to the exhaust pipe."
"According to my estimate, basically we only need to produce three to five types of Corrugated pipes of the same specifications can match more than 80% of the world's Passenger cars.”
“A product like this is really suitable for entering the after-sales market in the United States and Europe.”
Jiang Hui quickly picked up the pen and. Paper, directly gave Hou Guoming and Chen Chenxing to draw the schematic diagram of the corrugated pipe.
The structure of this part itself is not very complicated, and Jiang Hui’s design is so clever that both Hou Guoming and Chen Chenxing can understand it quickly.
"According to what I learned before, the corrugated pipes used on some foreign models are not directly made of stainless steel wire mesh, but are woven into stainless steel plates through stainless steel wires, and then these stainless steel plates with a width of several millimeters are woven into the On top of the formed stainless steel outer tube.”
“This can fully ensure the strength of the corrugated pipe, which is better than the traditional connection method.”
Hou Guoming is now the director of BMW R&D Center. Understand the condition of various parts.
The exhaust system of the engine is quite important, so he has naturally done some research on it.
“You are right. In Europe, the German parts company Weizmann is currently using this process to provide bellows for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan.”
"Their bellows are heavy, the processing technology is complicated, and the cost is very high. One is estimated to cost twenty or thirty dollars."
"If we use our new process to produce it, we can not only save a lot of The stainless steel raw materials and processing technology have been greatly simplified. Taking into account the cost advantage of domestic production, I estimate that 10 yuan is almost enough. ”
"If the production volume increases, it is estimated that it can be reduced to seven or eight yuan."
"If calculated according to the black market exchange rate, it is only about one dollar."
"We Even if they are exported for five dollars each, they can provide enough profits to foreign chain stores and allow consumers to buy cheaper Boon tubes. ”
“If this business is done well, it will be possible to export millions of bellows a year.”
“Once we become famous in the after-sales market, we will enter the supply system of the world’s automobile giants in the future. , is also very possible.”
“At that time, it was possible that our export volume of corrugated pipes could reach 20 million units a year.”
Jiang Hui said. Said, Hou Guoming and Chen Chenxing both began to shine.
With a small part, is it possible to achieve annual export earnings of over 100 million US dollars in the future?
What kind of fantasy situation is this?
But after looking at the bellows structure diagram designed by Jiang Hui and thinking about the current situation of the automobile industry, it seems that it is not impossible at all.
"Director, if the prospect of corrugated pipes is very broad in the future, then when we build production lines, it is necessary to fully consider production capacity arrangements and maximize the annual output of each production line. Got to Maximize ”
“ by BMW New Regarding the research on production line equipment, we already have certain equipment development capabilities. Will the production line be designed and produced by the factory itself to keep the processing technology confidential to the greatest extent? "
Hou Guoming is ready to keep it secret? After-sales parts export business started.
By then, there will be export parts business such as fixed calipers and bellows, which will be enough to support him to arrange people to develop more auto parts.
The automobile industry is a high-investment industry, which is basically everyone’s consensus.
In fact, the investment in many auto parts is not small at all.
In particular, Nanshan Technology pursues the advancement of parts technology and maximizes the production capacity of various parts within the factory. The investment in design is very large.
Even if BMW's current business is relatively good, Hou Guoming is worried that there will not be enough money in the future.
"The bellows production line is relatively simple. Even if it is designed to be highly automated, a length of tens of meters is enough."
"The core is the hydraulic forming machine, which we can purchase from outside. Transformation to improve the speed and efficiency of hydroforming. ”
“Time waits for no one, let’s see if it is possible to start small-scale production in three months.”
“Then we will show it at the Canton Fair next spring, and at the same time, we will actively promote it to American after-sales parts chain stores to let everyone feel how good it is.”
“After the sales volume increases, we will take the initiative to We will recommend it to various OEMs to see if we can quickly install it on mass-produced models and increase our production as much as possible.”
These days, the importance of exporting and earning foreign exchange cannot be overemphasized.
The BMW Group is now considered the largest industrial enterprise in Shenzhen. If it can become the largest export-earning enterprise, the various benefits it will receive will definitely continue to improve.
The supply of various raw materials in this era is not as simple as in later generations.
Not to mention the dual-track price system, the key point is that sometimes you can’t buy enough raw materials even if you have money.
Jiang Hui does not want the development of the BMW Group to be restricted due to the supply of raw materials.
If the BMW Group can become a well-known exporter in Shenzhen, even in Lingnan Province, or even in the country, then in order to ensure the task of earning foreign exchange from exports, all relevant departments will make every effort to ensure the BMW Group's demand for raw materials and other materials.
This cannot be measured with money.
Of course, the domestic market is relatively limited. To develop rapidly, you still need to make money internationally. This is also an objective fact.
Otherwise, BMW would not have entered into the Land Rover pickup truck project and was preparing to vigorously enter the international market.
"No problem. Looking at the design drawing of your part, in addition to the mold that needs to be prepared and formed, basically only some fixtures and inspection tools are enough. The preparation time of the tooling is estimated to not exceed Two months. "In terms of production lines, some equipment factories have on-site inventory for ordinary hydraulic forming machines, and they are expected to arrive in one month."
“If we make appropriate modifications, we can complete it within three months without any problem.”
“Even if the schedule is not feasible, the first production line will not modify the hydraulic forming machine. , start up the production line first, and then slowly transform it, or transform it on the second production line.”
Hou Guoming has also gradually accumulated a lot of management experience, not simply. Only doing research and development.
The production of a part involves all aspects. If you have not been exposed to this aspect of work, the preparation will definitely be stumbling.
After you have experience, many things become easier.
“It’s okay, you can just look at the specific arrangements. I have one request: to introduce products such as fixed calipers and bellows into the international after-sales parts market as soon as possible, and then use after-sales parts as an opportunity to develop It has entered the parts supply system of various automobile giants.”
“Our country has had a good relationship with the United States in recent years. Car manufacturers should not set artificial thresholds to embarrass us. "
"If necessary, I can ask relevant departments to help coordinate and strive to make Nanshan Technology the first to become a major exporter of the group. "
Building a car is naturally the most important, but it still takes a long time to go from research and development to mass production of a car.
Time waits for no one, Jiang Hui is now ready to let people make some breakthroughs in parts and components.
Otherwise, each factory would invest so much, but the output would take time, and he would also be under pressure.
"Well, I have had a lot of contact with people from various departments in Shenzhen during this period. If our export performance is relatively good, we can confidently ask the relevant departments to help arrange various resources."
“Even for college students who are in short supply in various places, we can also find ways to ask Shencheng to help coordinate some.”
“As for poaching people from some places, that is not a problem.”< br>
"Especially in the past few years, many factories in China have been particularly difficult to operate. However, in these factories, it is more or less certain to find a few technicians or workers with very good skills."
“A little makes a lot, and if each factory contributes just a few, even if we need thousands of high-level talents, it won’t be enough. There is no possibility at all.”
“The premise is to make everyone feel that our group deserves special support, and also to make those who come over actively join us.”
Chen. Morning Star now deals with a lot of foreign countries, and it definitely has a strong say in the potential impact of export earnings.
“The family areas we build next to each factory area are the key to attracting many technical personnel. In the future, the construction speed of family buildings must be further accelerated.”
Hou Guoming interjected from the side.
The housing problem has become increasingly serious in many big cities.
After technicians join the BMW Group, they can quickly solve their housing problems, which is definitely very attractive.
With their wages, it is no problem for one person to support a family.
If housing and education issues were no longer a worry, then it would be much easier for the BMW Group to recruit talents.
"No problem, I will personally go to the district to coordinate this matter. In the next three years, we will build at least 3,000 units and dormitories that can accommodate more than 20,000 people."
On the issue of housing, Jiang Hui has the right to speak more than anyone else, and he knows the importance of this thing very well.
The most important thing is that land in Shencheng is very cheap now, but in the future every inch of land will be valuable.
Not to mention other things, the impact of the appreciation of the land occupied by the BMW Group is enough to make Jiang Hui a celebrity on the Chinese rich list.
……
When it comes to my own career, I will naturally resolve things immediately without procrastination.
Jiang Hui sorted out the BMW Group's plans and immediately went to visit Liu Tianwu in the district.
"Leader, according to the current plan, BMW's sales will exceed 150,000 vehicles next year and challenge 200,000 vehicles."
"By then, the number of employees directly under BMW is expected to exceed 1 Ten thousand people, if you include Nanshan Technology and Nanshan Transmission It is very possible that the number of employees in neighboring group companies will exceed 20,000. "
"In the next year, our new generation models will be launched, sales will further increase, and the number of employees is expected to also increase. It will exceed the 30,000 mark.”
"In this way, in addition to building new factories, supporting family buildings, dormitories, kindergartens, primary schools, and hospitals need to be considered simultaneously."
"In order to avoid the troublesome areas that are separated from each other, we want to A one-time purchase of 3,000 acres of land from the district is expected to invest more than 1 billion yuan to build various factories and supporting facilities. "
Jiang Hui has dealt with Liu Tianwu quite a lot this year.
Everyone has noticed the development speed of the BMW Group in the past two years, and the current momentum is also very strong.
So Jiang Hui doesn’t intend to hide his demands.
He had appropriately compressed his plan for the three thousand acres of land, otherwise he could still use it in the next few years even if it was doubled.
Large-scale automobile factories are themselves large land users.
Not to mention that BMW has taken the path of producing and processing most of its parts in-house, which is equivalent to doing the work of the parts manufacturers.
There is no way, now China's auto parts manufacturers generally fail to live up to expectations. Even if Jiang Hui wants to hand over most of the parts business, he can't.
“No problem, the planning of the automobile industry industrial park has been approved by the province, and now the supporting policies are being implemented.”
"Your land demand this time can be promoted within the large-scale scope of the industrial park without much resistance."
Land in Shenzhen City will be very expensive in the future, but not now.
For Liu Tianwu, what he hopes most now is that more bosses will come to invest.
As for whether these investments are fraudulent, he is not very worried.
At least he is not worried at all about the BMW Group's investment.
