Chapter 609 Torch Quality Certification System
What has happened in the past month can be summed up as -
Japan fell and China was full.
Of course, strictly speaking, it is far more than just one country that benefits from this.
At the end of the 1990s, although Japan has entered the so-called "lost xx years" stage, people's cognition generally lags behind compared to the real world.
Therefore, Japan's overall international image is still that of a "developed country with good momentum of development."
For European and American countries, which are also developed countries, this kind of perception has inherent filters.
Coupled with a certain cost-effectiveness and product (telling) brand (story) price (thing) value,
As a result, in this year, and even in the next ten years, Japanese manufacturing industry ranks first in the world. The market should have been in a strong stage.
In the original timeline, this situation lasted until about twenty years later, when China's manufacturing industry gradually rose and began to squeeze out the living space of Japan and South Korea.
However, now, large-scale counterfeiting has been exposed in advance by Chang Haonan Design, and has caused a very concentrated impact. Many Japanese brands have not been able to completely get rid of the image of low quality in the past, and have been reverted to their prototypes.
This directly leaves a huge market that is even in the blue ocean stage.
It can be said that any country with industrial capabilities and relatively low costs can get a share of the pie.
This is also something Chang Haonan is happy to see.
On the one hand, based on China's current overall industrial level, except for some key areas, it is indeed impossible to completely fill the market vacancies left by the Japanese.
In this case, it is naturally best to mix the water.
Otherwise, no matter how big the news is, if the impact cannot be followed up continuously, people's memory will be very short.
If the Japanese really make a comeback, it will definitely be more difficult to deal with than South Korea, Brazil, Türkiye and a bunch of Eastern European countries.
On the other hand, this is also conducive to the formation of a situation where more people fight less.
Anyway, so far, almost all countries are adding insult to injury, not only intending to encroach on Europe's mid-to-low-end market, but also launching domestic investigations into several involved brands.
However, because Chang Haonan planned this incident, China must be the most prepared and benefit relatively greatly.
In short, after a round of extreme operations, although the Japanese manufacturing industry will not be completely crushed, it is certain that the latter will definitely go downhill twenty years in advance.
Considering that Japan’s financial industry was actually basically finished a few years earlier, how can a country that can’t go down both virtual and real paths develop...
Laughing to death , that is not an issue that Chang Haonan needs to consider.
……
Before leaving for Chengdu, Chang Haonan made a special trip to the Science and Technology Commission.
The main purpose is to submit a plan for subsequent related miscellaneous work.
Similar to leaving a good plan, as long as Lan Xinzhi follows it, it will not be difficult to end it smoothly.
Otherwise, after arriving in Chengdu, the work intensity will increase again, and there will be many field tasks, so it is easy to be unable to contact people.
It would be bad if it delayed the business here.
"After the dust settles on this matter, our new department of Equipment Industry Department should be completely established."
Ding Gaoheng was half-lying on his office chair, reading leisurely page by page. He said with a satisfied tone while holding the report in his hand.
Although the contents of the report are all straightforward, combined with the recent victory in the international market, I still feel very happy inside.
It’s just that, after all, it’s not convenient for people who are over sixty years old to show it openly:
“First there was the joint venture established by Torch and C.B. Ferrari, and then there was the The European market is seizing the share of Japanese companies, both internally and externally. There is nothing to criticize.”
When the Equipment Industry Department was first established, opposition voices mainly focused on two aspects.
First, the existence of such a department is obviously against marketization and is not conducive to China's integration into the international market.
The second is that excessive administrative intervention in the industry will lead to institutional rigidity and unfair competition, and ultimately damage the development of the entire industry.
It’s all the same old thing.
But in this era, this rhetoric is very effective.
It can be said that if the Economic and Trade Commission had not jumped out in advance to lift the roof and attracted a wave of firepower, the establishment of the Equipment Industry Department would not even have been able to pass smoothly.
Therefore, it seemed at the time that it definitely brought enough pressure to the Committee of Science and Industry.
If you really don’t do it well, something might happen.
Ding Gaoheng himself may be affected.
However, in just over two months, all worries disappeared.
The two things Ding Gaoheng just said can be said to be a direct slap in the face of all doubters——
You said it is not conducive to China's integration into the international market, but our Equipment Industry Department takes the lead in engaging in in-depth technology with foreign companies. Fusion.
You said there is unfair competition that may harm the development prospects of the entire industry. However, we have successfully entered Europe with a group of companies that are not part of the Science and Technology Commission system, including even private companies like Xingcheng Special Steel. market.
Is there anything else to say?
Although the rumors at the media level will certainly not disappear, they will even intensify with the defeat of Japanese companies in Europe.
But these people cannot affect the overall situation at all. The risks hanging over the Science and Technology Commission and Ding Gaoheng himself have been basically eliminated.
“Actually, when I first planned this event, I never thought it would be so successful.”
Chang Haonan was naturally in a good mood:< br>
“Originally I just thought that we could create a few brand names from the relatively well-developed industries in our country, so as to leave a hook and pave the way for future development.”
"Unexpectedly, the Japanese committed suicide and sent a big assist. Some countries even attacked more ruthlessly than us..."
The country he said was "more ruthless than us" was actually Refers to South Korea.
If China is still making a fortune in silence, then Korean companies, which are already fighting with Japanese companies in the mid-to-low-end positioning, are completely blind.
“Speaking of which, what happened to the helicopter that Bingfei cooperated with Eurocopter in the end?”
During this post-war summary, Ding Gaoheng suddenly remembered that as this The NH90 project that triggered the incident.
"Similar to our corresponding model Zhi-12, we chose Ice Axis Group as a new supplier. The new No. 03 prototype is almost ready."
Chang Haonan happened to be with me just before he came this time. Liu Hongbo had met Liu Hongbo when he returned to China, so he answered almost without thinking.
Obviously, this efficiency surprised Ding Gaoheng:
"NH90 is nominally a military model after all. If we directly use our country's suppliers, we will not encounter any resistance?"
"Of course there is resistance, but after such a round of troubles, NSK almost exited the European market, and then Ice Axis Group took advantage of the situation and bought the RHP bearing brand from them, so that on paper it is considered a British supplier."
Chang Haonan couldn't help laughing when he said this -
This RHP has actually gone bankrupt long ago and naturally has no production capacity of its own.
So all the bearings of this brand are actually shipped from Ice Axis and then OEMed...
After going round and round, NH90 still uses OEM bearings produced by Huaxia.
After chatting about some relaxed topics, Chang Haonan changed the topic:
"But having said that, the Japanese's defeat in Maicheng this time can be regarded as a wake-up call for us."
"All my strategies, in the final analysis, still rely on the quality of their own products. In order to We will do whatever it takes to reduce costs. Now it is our company's turn to gradually enter the European market. We have to guard against this problem..."
As soon as these words came out, Ding Gaoheng and Lan Xinzhi suddenly became serious. .
Chang Haonan’s concerns are obviously justified.
In this era, companies in China, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, are engaging in counterfeiting...
Not too optimistic anyway.
If the barbaric development is really allowed to continue, it is not impossible to repeat the mistakes of Japanese companies.
Especially when the other party must still be planning revenge.
After a long time, Ding Gaoheng said:
“In the next year or two, the export license approval procedures will become more complicated, and the goods themselves will also receive focus from the quality inspection department. It’s probably not a big problem.”
"But as our level of openness continues to improve, especially as we are about to join the WTO, administrative restrictions on exports must be relaxed. We really have to find other ways to restrict or regulate these enterprises. We cannot It has ruined the image we have finally achieved..."
Lan Xinzhi, who had not had his turn to speak just now, suddenly lit up:
"Is it possible to formulate a voluntary, non-voluntary membership policy? In the mandatory certification system, brands that join this system must undergo our more stringent quality inspections, which is equivalent to an approval.”
“This is convenient for us even if some companies do not do anything. Cutting off from them will not lead to a series of problems like NSK. You can consider..."
In fact, his original idea was to have the Equipment Industry Department come forward to establish this system, but he blurted out halfway. I realized that these words sounded a bit like fighting for power, so I felt a little stiff for a moment.
Fortunately, Ding Gaoheng and Chang Haonan were not unreasonable people, and they could also guess what he did not say later.
“You want to say that the Equipment Industry Department will come forward to do this?”
The former asked with a smile.
"Uh...right."
Lan Xinzhi nodded awkwardly:
"My consideration is that companies such as Xingcheng Special Steel, Luozhou Group and Baoshan Iron and Steel have already had deep interactions with our department, so communication will be easier..."
Chang Haonan, after thinking for a while, shook his head:
"This is a good idea, but it may not be appropriate for the Equipment Industry Department to come forward."
"No matter what the actual situation is, this After all, the name of the department is the Equipment Industry Department of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. Both in name and in essence, it is too close to the military and military industry system, making it inconvenient to do business with foreign countries, especially with Western countries.”
When he said this, the other two people also figured out this relationship:
"That's true..."
Military industrial units have their own advantages and disadvantages, which is inevitable.
Since you want to make other people’s money, you must try your best to dispel other people’s concerns.
"If the military industry system is not suitable..."
Ding Gaoheng sat up suddenly and looked at Chang Haonan:
"How about your Torch Group, together with the Science and Technology Commission and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, come forward to establish a non-governmental association or committee that is biased towards research and academics?"
