Chapter 100 SKF Who Never Gives up (Asking for Monthly Votes)

Chapter 100 SKF Unwilling to Give Up (Seeking monthly votes~)

Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. naturally cannot keep such a big plan completely confidential.

The next day, SKF people knew the news.

"Xue, your plan has failed."

"Why did it turn out like this?"

Ovid's face was full of disappointment.

Originally, he was also very optimistic about Xue Wenqiang's plan, thinking that this time he would be able to deal with Nanshan steadily.

Who knew that such a big change would occur in just a few days.

"Ovid, this time it was an accident."

"Nanshan just happened to have such a large industrial park project to be launched, and we didn't know about this situation before."

"If it weren't for the large scale of this industrial park, which was enough to attract local people to withstand the pressure from Xifeng Group and us, Nanshan would definitely not escape our grasp."

At this time, Xue Wenqiang naturally had to desperately explain himself.

Of course, what he said was not a quibble.

If it were an ordinary private enterprise, it would really not be able to resist SKF's tricks.

"The industrial park is worth 1 billion yuan, and several factories are built at one go. I'm afraid we really can't control them this time."

Golmar also frowned, thinking about new solutions.

He is an expert on China, and that's why he knew that the original plan would definitely not work.

Even the worst acquisition would definitely not work.

After all, an industrial park has brought too much attraction to Panyu.

"Nanshan now has only one bearing production line, which has already brought us such a big threat."

"Now Shanghai Volkswagen, Shanghai GM, Chuncheng Volkswagen and Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen have begun to switch to Nanshan's wheel hub bearings."

"If this situation continues to develop, it will directly lead to problems in our entire automotive division."

Ovid is also very clear about the routines of the OEMs.

Nanshan can now supply wheel hub bearings at a low price.

At that time, the OEMs will ask SKF to reduce the price of other bearings to the level of Nanshan.

If it can't be reduced, they will threaten SKF with switching.

Even this switching work may not be realized sometimes.

In particular, the bearings on some models of Volkswagen and Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen were designed by designers from SKF headquarters, Volkswagen headquarters and Peugeot Citroen headquarters.

Even the drawings are SKF factory drawings.

It is not that simple to switch.

However, the OEM can also put pressure on SKF.

"Nanshan is a troublemaker in the bearing industry. We can't let them mess around."

"This time, in addition to us being victims, NTN, NSK, JTEKT, Timken and other bearing manufacturers are also victims."

"We can find a way to unite with other manufacturers to see how to deal with Nanshan."

Holmberg thinks that since the road of joint ventures and acquisitions is not feasible, it must pull a group of peers to deal with Nanshan.

Let it slowly disappear from everyone's sight before it grows and develops.

"They always use low prices to disgust us. If we simply pull other peers to deal with Nanshan, I'm afraid it won't be particularly ideal."

"We don't have many cards in our hands."

Ovid felt that Nanshan was like a loach, slippery and difficult to deal with.

"I think we can move forward in two directions at the same time. One is to increase the pace of investment and factory construction in China to reduce our costs."

"In this way, we can also give an explanation to the OEM."

"It can also make Nanshan's cost advantage disappear slowly."

"On the other hand, I think we can consider dealing with Nanshan from other angles?"

When Golmo said this, Ovid immediately turned his head.

"Other angles?"

"Golstock, what do you mean?"

Seeing the boss's interest, Golstock immediately added: "Through our investigation of Nanshan, their current mass production business mainly includes nut plates, wheel bolts, molds, presses and hub bearings. In addition, it is said that a gear production line has also been built."

"Now that they want to build the Nanshan Industrial Park, they must expand the production lines of these parts."

"In this case, purchasing equipment is definitely unavoidable."

"For example, the production of bearings and gears, as well as the production of molds, are inseparable from various machine tools."

"And if they want to make good products, the domestic machine tools in China basically cannot meet the requirements."

"In this case, nine out of ten will need to be from Imported machine tools from Japan or Germany."

"And machine tools need to use a large number of bearings. For example, German machine tools use a large number of our products."

"And Japanese machine tools are similar, using a large number of NTN, NSK, and KOYO bearings."

"The emergence of Nanshan bearings will affect the interests of all of us. It is in the interests of all of us to suppress Nanshan."

"Then can we unite with various bearing manufacturers to put pressure on machine tool manufacturers?"

"As long as the machine tools are sold to Nanshan Technology, our bearing prices will double, and eventually the price of machine tools will rise sharply."

In order to make Ovid understand his ideas, Holmes explained his ideas in detail.

The influence of persuading machine tool manufacturers not to sell equipment may not be that great.

They may not be willing to give up profitable business.

But if the price is raised, if everyone raises the price, the resistance will become very small.

"Don't you have regular dinners with the sales directors and sales ministers of those bearing manufacturers every quarter?"

"Since you think you can suppress Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. through equipment, then do it boldly."

"However, these alone are definitely not enough."

"We have to think of other ways."

Ovid now deeply feels the threat that Nanshan brings to SKF.

Even though Wanxiang and Renben, Chinese local bearing brands, are developing rapidly, he did not take it seriously.

Now the sudden emergence of Nanshan bearings makes him feel the crisis.

It is very difficult for SKF to expand its share in the Chinese automobile market.

"Although the several plans I proposed before all failed, I think if we want to build a factory, we can adopt a more flexible approach."

"As long as it works well, maybe the impact of Nanshan can be minimized."

Xue Wenqiang, who had been shrinking his head and looking gloomy today, showed up again at this time.

He felt that he had to find a way to save himself and let Ovid, the president of the Asia-Pacific region, recognize his value.

"Hmm?"

"What kind of flexible approach?"

Ovid did not blame Xue Wenqiang for the failure this time. At present, he still encouraged this Chinese man to give good advice to the company.
