Chapter 575 Digging a hole for a small life
“Unexpected...unexpected...”
Huai Guomo screwed up the thermos cup in his hand, the expression on his face was still a little difficult. Confidence:
“In the past, I only heard that some companies in our country would do this, laundering imported goods into domestic products to meet the localization rate indicators of superior units. But now it seems that this may be brought from outside. My experience..."
A sentence that was half sarcastic and half humorous, which broke the somewhat stiff atmosphere in the conference room.
"Considering from another level, this also shows that our country's development level in the field of bearings is probably higher than we imagined."
Zhang Dongxu also followed up with a smile, but immediately Then the topic changed:
“It’s just that, according to what Comrade Haonan just said, almost all the profits were made by foreign companies that used OEM services. Even though the company is making money, it has not reduced the cost of automobiles in our country. This is a problem that we, especially the Equipment Industry Department of Xinzhi, need to solve in the next step.”
“Of course, what to do specifically? Should we go through legal procedures or are there any other methods? We still lack experience in this area, and we need comrades from the Ministry of Machinery Industry to play their role."
After all, the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense is mainly responsible for the national defense industry. Although there were companies and products that converted military to civilian products in the past, they were not their main business after all.
Now that a new authority like the Equipment Industry Department has been snatched over, it is indeed a new challenge.
“NTN and NSK’s bearing products are very famous in the industry, and their market share is not low. Even our aerospace industry has signed supplier contracts with them for many projects.”
The speaker this time was Lian Jiexin, another deputy director who was newly appointed last month and is also the director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration:
“I see, today’s meeting is over. After that, several of our business departments went back and asked the subordinates to check to see if there were any similar situations. If so, they would immediately terminate the cooperation in the name of product fraud and transfer the procurement contract to our domestic company! "
This proposal quickly aroused a resonance.
Although neither Luozhou nor Bingxuan is an enterprise affiliated with the Science and Technology Commission, there is absolutely no reason for the Japanese to make away with OEM money, whether from the perspective of supply chain security or from an economic perspective.
Seeing that the emotions of this paragraph were already in place, Chang Haonan began to add more pressure:
“In fact, based on some clues we have found so far, it is speculated that the bearing industry may even be just a Japanese company committing fraud. The tip of the iceberg."
"Are there any experts?"
Everyone who was still racking their brains to think about how to implement the operation immediately looked up and looked at Chang Haonan again.
"We have not found any cases of products imported from our country and then re-branded."
Chang Haonan said and patted another pile of materials in front of him:
"But by testing the samples Through random tests and interviews with companies and users, we have enough reasons to suspect that many companies, including Kobe Steel, Sumitomo Metal, Mitsubishi Motors, Mitsubishi Electric, and Hitachi Chemical, have poor product quality and testing data. "The situation of fraud."
If the incident between NSK and NTN just brought more surprise and fun to everyone, then this wave of naming is almost the same as in the past. A bombshell dropped in the ripples of the lake.
Ding Gaoheng, who had not spoken much just now and whose expression had always been relatively relaxed, tensed up almost instantly and sat up straight:
"Are you... sure?"
"So many companies have problems with their products?"
Although the others did not say it, judging from their eyes and expressions, they were all similar. meaning.
Those sitting in this conference room have all done some specific business work.
In everyone's mind, Japan is, after all, a mature and even relatively old industrial country.
It is understandable that there are one or two isolated cases, but this large-scale fraud in collapse methods has completely broken through their understanding of a normal industrial operation model.
“There is basically nothing wrong.” Chang Haonan nodded:
“Because for most industrial products, the truly reliable detection method is destructive testing, so it can only be done on the sample. Conduct random inspections, and the operating space in this process is really too big.”
“Many supply contracts last for several years or even longer, and random inspections are also based on cycles. They can make normal deliveries during the inspection cycle and use inferior products at other times. In this way, even if something happens occasionally, they can use excuses such as work errors to avoid widespread suspicion. "
"This time we had an unplanned surprise attack, so we found out a lot of interesting results."
"If this is the case, I have to report the situation immediately."
Ding Gaoheng could no longer sit still:
“Japanese companies have had very frequent business dealings with us over the years, and many of them involve major projects directly led by the top.”
“Just take it. Xiao Chang just cited a few examples. Sumitomo Metal is a structural steel supplier for the water diversion equipment in the second phase of the Three Gorges Project, and it is a structure that will be poured into the dam body for permanent use. Mitsubishi Motors supplies a large number of commuter and command vehicles to the People's Liberation Army. Complete vehicles and parts, and Hitachi Chemical are one of the core suppliers of integrated circuits in our country. When I was chatting with Director Song of the Science and Technology Commission a few days ago, he also said that their technology should be introduced into the newly built semiconductor industrial park in the country..."< br>
Seeing the anxious-looking Ding Gaoheng, Chang Haonan knew that his goal today had been achieved.
The reason why he specifically named those companies just now was because he was aware of their position in China and attracted enough attention.
Not only Ding Gaoheng’s, but also those above.
After all, the scope of this matter is too wide.
Japanese companies have been working in China for more than ten years, and coupled with the long-term and subtle public opinion indoctrination, the relevant interest groups behind them are even larger than the previous aviation industry.
To say that Japanese companies are committing fraud is tantamount to a collapse of faith for some people.
Therefore, if it is just the Science and Technology Commission and the family who act on the stage, there is no guarantee that they will not encounter any resistance.
"Director Ding, if we want to achieve the best result in this matter, we must take two steps and work together."
Chang Haonan's words really changed Ding Gaoheng's mentality. Calm down:
“What are your plans?”
According to his understanding of Chang Haonan, at this time, it usually means that the other party already has an idea or even a mature plan.
“On the one hand, we should conduct investigations domestically, especially on key projects, increase the intensity and frequency of random inspections of Japanese products, collect and retain evidence, and if problems are found, do not alert the enemy for the time being, and try to delay the other party. , while looking for alternative suppliers to minimize the impact on the project progress."
"On the other hand, our Torch Group has recently taken on several business cooperation with Europe."
Chang Haonan adjusted his posture slightly and showed a smile:
“I know that NSK Group has a branch in Stonehouse, UK, that specializes in aerospace-related businesses, and is currently eager to explore the high-end market in Europe. , I think that as long as there is a little guidance in the project, it will not be difficult to get Europeans to use their products.”
"Their large-scale counterfeiting cannot only target the Chinese market. I can specifically raise the requirements for the performance of parts so that NSK cannot directly use existing products to supply, and then let the domestic bearing groups prepare in advance. The node will 'just' launch a model that meets the requirements."
"When the time comes, whether NSK directly fakes it, or purchases it from our country and then resells it under the brand name, the enemy will be open and we are covert. , the evidence is not difficult to obtain.”
“Wait until then and expose all these things together, just like the Boeing-McDonnell Douglas merger case, and catch them off guard”< br>
Having said this, he clenched one hand into a fist and knocked twice on the stacked materials on the table:
“Let these things be kept as evidence of guilt first!”
