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 breaking the wind outside the window rang 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.
Take 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... prepare to collect evidence and then go through legal procedures?"
Obviously, his thinking is still relatively traditional.
“There is little point in going through legal procedures.”
Chang Haonan waved his hand and vetoed:
“Unless it can be proven that they have stolen trade secrets, the technology The parameters themselves do not constitute a patent. Besides, they did not take over the technology to 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."
In this day and age, I am afraid that no one will think of avoiding it in advance when signing a contract with a foreign company. Something like OEM.
Even if origin restrictions are added, this is a gray area that is difficult to define.
Purchasing the bearings together, shipping them back to Japan, stamping them with codes, and putting them in their own packaging. From a legal perspective, it is difficult to say that they are not made 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 and sell imported products as domestic products in recent years.
This has even become one of the open conditions for many foreign companies to acquire domestic companies at bargain prices.
No one has ever seen the reverse operation before.
As the psychological shock that they first heard the news gradually passed, everyone's IQ gradually regained the high ground.
“I think Mr. Chang’s intention is to use this opportunity to reduce the domestic market share of Japanese bearing companies.”
As the person in charge of the company, Liao Xinhua, The sensitivity in this area is relatively high.
But he is 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, mechanical machinery The manufacturing industry should be very dependent on word of mouth and inertia, and it is not 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. NSK bearings are actually produced and rebranded by us in China to establish the brand image of domestic products!”
Hearing this, Liao Xinhua couldn’t sit still.
Having worked in the corporate world for more than 20 years, he knows very well the significance of word-of-mouth 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.
And 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 the 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. Just the Hangzhou Tooth Factory making accusations may not be very loud." Liao Xinhua suppressed his inner excitement. As well as fantasies about the future, he continued to analyze:
"It would be best to find more users like Hangzhou Gear Factory. We can even catch a wave of fish and find NSK to purchase a batch of bearings first, and then Collect more evidence..."
Although he looked calm on the surface, his voice was slightly different from usual
“There’s no need to go to such trouble.”
Chang Haonan naturally saw it at a glance. The other party was full of expectations but had to pretend to be calm due to his image. He replied with a smile in his tone:
"Although Ice Axis Group is not under the jurisdiction of the Equipment Industry Division now, I am personally there. Bian still has some connections, and this matter is of no harm to them, so just check their sales records.”
“NSK must use middlemen to do this kind of thing. It changes hands, but when it comes to selling OEM goods, they are usually purchased in a centralized, regular and large-volume manner. It is not difficult to find them if you are interested.”
"What else..."
At this point, he paused for a moment:
"Japanese companies have a very strong guild nature. 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 wanted to say it was great, but I felt like it was a bit gloating, which was not in line with his personality as a scholar.
But Liao Xinhua did not have this kind of psychological baggage, so he slapped his thigh directly and expressed his thoughts. :
“That’s great!”
"I never thought we would have a day when 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 industrial alliances to a certain extent, and even compete with established brands on some products. European manufacturers are fighting back and forth.
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, the news from Aviation Industry Import and Export Company is 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 class...isn't that the size of a Black Hawk? It can make ice fly over there..."
Ten-ton class helicopters are the two most important classes of general-purpose helicopters (10 tons, 13 tons), there is definitely demand.
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 speaking, he suddenly realized that this should be an opportunity.
Eurocopter’s 10-ton helicopters, after much thought, seemed to be the only NH90.
This is a dual-use model.
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, but 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, there are conflicts in the ecological niches of helicopters at the same level. 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 Eurocop directly.”
