Chapter 448 Are you sweating profusely, Chunakajima?
Zheng Chaoqun is very sure that the other two colleagues must have received calls and emails with the same content.
So now, everyone is on the same starting line.
Can’t fall behind!
A strong sense of urgency arose spontaneously from the bottom of Zheng Chaoqun's heart.
In the past few decades, Fushaft has been China's largest and most powerful bearing manufacturer.
But Bingcheng Bearing and Luoyi Bearing are also at the same level, not far behind.
In front of the first-class foreign bearing manufacturers, the three companies have no competitiveness anyway.
But now, an opportunity to ascend is right in front of you.
If you seize it, you will not only be able to directly join the top international level, but will even have the opportunity to reshuffle the bearing industry around the world.
But if you can't catch it, or fall behind...
I'm afraid there won't be a chance to turn around in a short time.
Thinking of this, Zheng Chaoqun directly grabbed the phone next to him and dialed the internal number of the group general manager’s office...
After chatting with him for a few words, he hung up directly. Cut off the phone, print out the data sent by email, grab a few pieces of paper and get ready to go out.
When I left the office, I almost bumped into the apprentice who had just returned.
"Master, your food..."
"Just put it on my table!"
For Zheng Chaoqun now, eating is already a secondary thing.
He needs to launch a large-scale bearing research war!
Although Chang Haonan originally called the three of them over to produce bearings for aero-engines, they did not just come up with a bearing design drawing, but a set of bearings, although it is not yet complete. But design theory has huge potential.
It is said that teaching a man how to fish is worse than teaching him how to fish, but Chang Haonan taught more than just fishing skills, he even prepared fishing nets and trawlers.
In this case, Zheng Chaoqun felt that it was time to consider expanding his business scope.
The bearings used in aerospace engines are indeed of high quality, but their scale is ultimately limited.
And the three of them compete simultaneously.
Even if it is really taken down, the business volume will only be a drop in the bucket for their Fuzhou Axis Group.
It can be used as a symbol of the group's honor, but it certainly cannot be expected to support the entire group.
If you really want to become bigger and stronger, gain a reputation, and improve user perception, you still have to go to the real market.
The same plot was also played out in two other places almost at the same time...
...
Compared to the spare parts manufacturers in the middle reaches of the industrial chain, the most It was actually the more upstream materials field that first noticed changes in the industry situation.
Japan, Nara.
"Minister Guangtian, this is the order data submitted by Huaxia Market last month."
The secretary knocked on the door gently and put a thick stack of documents on Chunzhong Island Hiroshi Hiroshi, deputy director of the group's marketing department, is on the table.
After all, it is already early September, and orders for the fourth quarter and even next year are already being submitted.
With China’s continuous opening up and economic development in recent years, its domestic demand for precision bearings has increased. Compared with directly importing finished bearings from companies such as NTN or Koyo, purchasing key semi-finished materials The form of domestic assembly and production is obviously more favored by the Chinese people.
Although the final product quality is still far behind the high-end models of the real original factory, the cost is lower, and it can be regarded as domestically produced on paper. Therefore, Chun Zhongjima’s Chinese business has been running for more than 40 consecutive months. The year-on-year growth is at a double-digit level, and the status of Guangtian, the deputy minister responsible for China's market direction, has also increased. In fact, slightly larger bearing or gear manufacturers will have their own special steel production capabilities. For example, Fuzhou Bearing Group Special Steel Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of Fuzhou Bearing Group, and M50NiL steel was even originally produced by bearings. Developed by the specialty steel division of manufacturer SKF.
However, these companies or departments are basically only responsible for the post-processing of finished or semi-finished steel, and are not responsible for the process from iron ore to steel (low added value, too much investment) , and the scale is relatively limited, so sometimes it is still necessary to purchase raw materials from specialized special steel companies such as Xingcheng or Datong.
Chunakajima Special Steel is quite special. It is also part of the Chunakajima Group, which produces bearings. However, later on, the side business accidentally developed better than the main business, and it began to gradually get involved in the production of raw materials. field, it can be regarded as a cross-border business.
About five years ago, he took a fancy to China, a market that was not very eye-catching at the time. He almost sold everything in order to smoothen the relationship, and then transferred himself to his current position.
Facts have proved that his gamble was correct.
Due to the explosive development of the Chinese market in recent years, Chunzhongdao intends to separate the Chinese business and establish a Chunzhongdao Huaxia headquarters.
The group has even sent people to reach cooperation with Huaxia and start building the first local factory in Huaxia.
And Hiroshi Hiroshi is naturally the only candidate for the head office.
As long as this step can be taken, it is tantamount to reaching the sky in one step.
It may even be possible to use this as a springboard to directly enter management in the future.
However, it was almost time to get off work, and two foreign trainees who had just been recruited asked him to go out for drinks in the evening. Naturally, Hirota didn’t have the patience to flip through page after page of such a thick document. Go down.
So after briefly reading the first two pages, he turned to the end impatiently.
The big guys above won't care about the complicated data in the middle, so you can take your time and look at it.
He is going to fill in the most critical business scale and growth status into the report at hand, and then go to enjoy the nightlife.
"Compared with the data in August last year, it increased by 11.4% year-on-year..."
"Wait..."
After Guangtian copied this number, he realized that something was wrong. He raised his head and asked the secretary who had just delivered the materials:
"Why has it dropped so much?"
The data of 11.4% is naturally not bad. In fact, if it were placed elsewhere, then Definitely a score worthy of popping the champagne.
But in the first eight months of this year, Huaxia's year-on-year business growth was around 15%. How come it dropped by almost a quarter at this critical juncture?
Hiroshi Hirota knows that his future and destiny are tied to the Chinese market, so he must not make any mistakes.
“The main reason is that several previous large customers have reduced their ordering volume in the first quarter of next year. The largest one, Fuzhou Bearing Group, has booked only half of the ordering volume in the first quarter of this year.”
< br>Hearing this heartbreaking data, Hirota's body shook violently, and the tip of the long knife pen in his hand banged on the table.
This was a gift from his father when he was promoted to Dongda University, and he has been using it for nearly twenty years.
But at this time, Guangtian couldn't care about that much anymore. He quickly turned back the report and quickly found the part that the secretary said.
"The steel balls and rollers are mainly affected..."
Hiroshi Hirota took a deep breath.
These are the two most important products of Chunakajima Special Steel. Not only China, but even Japanese high-end bearing companies such as NSK, NTN, and Fujikoshi are their customers.
Nothing can go wrong.
After hesitating for a moment, he quickly made a decision.
It’s a dove tonight.
After all, they are just two trainees, how could they be as important as his position as head of the China Headquarters?
Hirota signaled the secretary to leave, then took out his mobile phone and sent a group text message to several colleagues who were also tied up in the Huaxia Market:
"Tonight, in Miss Kana's store , see you at the same place.”
