Chapter 572: Breaking the filter on Japan, starting from you and me
For Chinese people in this era, it is indeed difficult to imagine that data falsification can occur in developed countries.
Especially because of 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.
Japanese companies committed large-scale fraud. Before his rebirth, it was no longer news at all——
Rather, it would be rarer if any Japanese company had never committed any fraud.
Although the situation in the late 1990s cannot be generalized to that in the 2020s, 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 will happen to be the beginning of the 1990s.
"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 to avoid unclear things in the future."
The other party nodded and replied:
"If Chang If necessary, we can provide you with a copy, but the original...according to the factory's regulations, it must be kept in the file unless there is an express request from the superior or the police.”
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 put it in The fax number of Yang Huimei's office is written 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 of business, 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’ll do it after I get back today!”
……
For most of the other people sitting in the car, this section is just a joke at best. Interlude.
It looked like Chang Haonan was going to investigate the situation thoroughly after learning about it.
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 speculate whether Lan Xinzhi or Ding Gaoheng is preparing 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 focusing 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, several of my friends from the Bearing Research Institute accidentally mentioned that our country's bearing industry has suddenly entered a new stage. During the small outbreak stage, Ice Axis was specifically mentioned by name, and several good products were produced in the field of automotive bearings..."
"If Ice Axis Group used special means to obtain other people's process technology, It’s unlikely that it will be shared in such a big way that it will drive the entire industry forward, right?”
He did not mention Chang Haonan’s name directly in the question, right?
After all, leaders may sometimes want to maintain some mystery.
"In this case, can 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?" Liao Xinhua's tone was full of questions, obviously I think this possibility is low.
Performance characteristics are somewhat similar to human fingerprints. Although it is theoretically possible that they may appear 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 had just been 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 each thinking for a moment, they shook their heads almost simultaneously.
People’s cognition will not exceed the era in which they live.
It is 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 Tooth Factory think that the string installation will not affect the working stability. , even if the same process is used, it is simply unrealistic.”
"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!"
Chang Haonan said Finally, he tapped lightly on the small table in front of him to emphasize the point.
“You mean... OEM goods?”
Liao Xinhua, who has been engaged in business operations for a long time, is more familiar with these things and immediately blurted out:
“That is Ice Axis Group 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…”
< br>"That means..."
Yan Yongnian and Liao Xinhua took a breath of air-conditioning together:
"It may be the other way around. NSK Group purchases Ice Axis Group in bulk. products and then sell them under your own trademark?”
Chang Haonan nodded:
"It's not possible, but it's a high probability."
"This..."
Although they may have thought of this themselves Yes, but the moment Chang Haonan nodded, the two of them still had an unbelievable feeling.
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 or so, 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 there is a Japanese company that is well-known in the industry and 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 it out. ’s joint:
“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 those large European manufacturers with a century-old heritage. After all, they have a lot of wealth, and they may be able to find some treasures from the old papers of the past. However, it is absolutely impossible for Japanese and Korean companies to do so in a short period of time. to produce the same level of technology.”
“They choose to sell products under OEM, not because of simple cost issues, but because they can’t make them.”
