Chapter 469 OEM Production
Actually, Shunsuke Haneda’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 standards 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 finished products directly from Bingcheng Bearing, and then sell them under OEM.
The quality of my products 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?
In this way, 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.
Later that day, after Haneda Shunsuke expressed his thoughts to Oda Tatsuki, his direct superior at the headquarters, even he did not expect that the other party would say it almost without thinking...
Agreed.
"Boss Odamoto, 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 can Chinese people make better bearings than NSK?
Even if they lower the production standards, it should be a dimensionality reduction attack.
Oda Tatsuki 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?"
I don't know if it was Haneda's illusion, but he found Oda Tatsumi on the other side of the phone. The mood even sounded a little excited, but he nodded immediately:
"Yes, Director Odamoto."
"Because a few days ago, the marketing department at Chunakajima asked us , are they sending cheap low-end bearings to China to seize the market? Because they found that the sales data of bearing parts are abnormal, several companies have reduced or even canceled orders for the fourth quarter of this year or next year.”
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 the time , maybe the Chinese have come up with some kind of substitute.”
“But, Chief, how could the Chinese suddenly...”
In fact, even now, Haneda still feels that. incredible.
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:
br>
"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 cannot threaten these places in a short time, not to mention, there are With the method you proposed, there is nothing to worry about."
"Besides..."
Oda hesitated, but after a moment he continued:
"The timing of this incident is just right. It can be used to attack those of 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 to 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:
"Well, Minister, regarding the matter of building a factory in China... should you consider shelving it first?"
"No need."
Oda immediately vetoed the proposal:
"First of all, we can't push the people on the Inagaki 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, the problem of reduced bearing quality can be logically blamed 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 the Huaxia factory..."
"Make some differences that are not reflected in the contract, and sell them at a discount as low-end products..."
"Okay, I'll do it right away..."
...
At this time, Chang Haonan still 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 a long time finally arrived.
Although the name of the new institution established by Beijing Airlines is called "Compressor Research Center", it is just trying to sell dog meat. In fact, according to Tang Lintian's ambition, this place should be a full-field research center for aerospace engines. mechanism.
So when he first formulated the plan, he not only limited his attention to the experimental compressor.
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 combustion chamber or turbine can be simulated during engine operation. work situation.
Liu Yongquan stood not far from Chang Haonan, looking down at the operating instructions in front of him, giving out instructions one after another, while the latter was climbing up and down to debug the equipment.
Originally, considering Chang Haonan’s current status, this kind of thing can be completed by specialized equipment operators, but this aviation thermometer was customized by him from the 410 Factory based on similar equipment he had seen in later generations. Yes, I really don’t trust others to do the first debugging.
"Mr. Chang, are you going to switch to the impingement cooling method on our new engine?"
While the equipment computer was starting a self-check, 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 will inevitably be 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 traffic loss
"Of course not..."
Chang Haonan shook his head and started to set the initial test parameters on the computer:
"I have a more imaginative way!"
