Magic City, SAIC Group Co., Ltd., Lingang Automobile Manufacturing Base.

In order to get the first order from Xinsheng Processing Factory, Du Mingxuan, Li Gucheng and others came from Huajin City to the Magic City and the Lingang Industrial Zone.

"SAIC Group is one of the few large automobile groups in China. The Lingang Automobile Manufacturing Base is one of their own brand manufacturing bases. This manufacturing base alone has an annual production scale of more than 200,000 vehicles. If we can become their camshaft and crankshaft supplier, we Xinsheng will be able to reach the top in one step!" Li Gucheng said with hope. This time he came here to prepare sufficient materials to prove how high the quality of his products are.

Du Mingxuan listened to him while looking at the scenery outside the window. Because they had no money, they rented a business car to use when they came to Modu City. Now Du Que is driving.

In the Lingang Industrial Zone of Magic City, there are not only SAIC Group's automobile manufacturing base, but also some other automobile, aerospace or parts factories.

In terms of area, appearance and scale, their factory is countless times taller than Xinsheng.

"Look, that's Tesla's Magic City Super Factory, the investment alone reaches 50 billion! It's so majestic!" Li Gucheng pointed to one place enviously.

Looking out, Du Mingxuan has a spacious road surface and a huge factory area. The area of ​​this super factory is as high as 860,000 square meters. The various factory buildings are neat and orderly, full of the beauty of industrial technology.

Similarly, it also represents the strength and courage of a large enterprise, which is enviable.

"Believe us, we will soon have our own super factory!" Du Mingxuan was aroused by ambitions. With so much valuable mechanical and technological knowledge, one day, he will build a more advanced super factory, not just a place, but all over the world!

"Mr. Du, I can last for twenty or thirty years, and I hope I can see that day!" Li Gucheng said with a smile.

Soon, they arrived at SAIC Group's automobile manufacturing base. It is also very grand, with a reception hall built in front of the factory area.

"Hello, we made an appointment with Manager Lei, from Xinsheng Parts Processing Factory." Li Gucheng said at the front desk.

"Okay, which Manager Lei is it? I'll take a look for you." The receptionist at the front desk said politely.

"Manager Lei Xu, from the R&D Technology Department."

The front desk checked and said, "Okay, I'll notify Manager Lei now, please go to the reception room to rest first."

The group went to the reception room. Du Mingxuan looked at the time. It was two o'clock in the afternoon.

At this moment, several managers and supervisors in an office in the power system R&D building in the factory were discussing.

"The performance of this new engine must be better. The quality of key parts such as camshafts and crankshafts must keep up. It is best to set the supplier this week. Which one do you think is better to choose?" asked a supervisor.

"I am more optimistic about ThyssenKrupp Engine Systems Co., Ltd., which is a German industrial giant. It mainly produces automobile engine camshafts and provides camshaft supply to German Volkswagen, Ford, Honda and other companies. In terms of quality, it is definitely world-class."

"The most important thing is that ThyssenKrupp has established a factory in Bincheng, my country, which is much cheaper than other foreign suppliers in terms of price and cost." Lei Xu said, who is the business manager who is mainly responsible for the suppliers.

"I think the domestic ones are good, and the price is cheaper. This can greatly reduce our engine manufacturing costs." Another manager said, "For example, Yuzhou Zhongxle Holding Co., Ltd., their camshafts and crankshaft products are also good."

However, someone soon objected, "We have worked with Yuzhou Central Axle before. Some low-end cars can use their products. However, this time we plan to make a new generation of car engines, which have stricter requirements. Domestic parts are still a bit poor in quality."

"Camshafts and crankshafts must rely on precision machining. I suggest choosing a large foreign manufacturer. We have contacted the Island Country Denso Company. They have the products and the price is still under discussion. I think it can be discussed."

"No matter which company you choose, it is best that we will decide within half a month. We can't delay any further." Lei Xu said, "The business representative of ThyssenKrupp will visit this afternoon, and we will meet together. Well, it is 2:30 in the afternoon, and it is probably about to arrive."

"No problem." Everyone agreed unanimously.

At this moment, Lei Xu suddenly received a call from the front desk, "Hello, Manager Lei, there are now several people who claim to be Xinsheng Parts Processing Factory in the reception room, saying that they are making an appointment to meet you this afternoon."

"Xinsheng Processing Factory?" Lei Xu couldn't remember for a moment, "What are you doing?"

"It seems to be a camshaft manufacturer." said the front desk.

"Oh." Lei Xu remembered and said, "Let them wait for a moment, I have something to do now."

"OK."

"What Xinsheng Parts Processing Factory? Have you never heard of this camshaft supplier?" The supervisor next to Lei Xu heard some phone calls and asked curiously.

"The domestic camshaft manufacturers can count clearly with their fingers, and I have never heard of this." Another person said.

Lei Xu shook his head and said helplessly: "A nameless factory, I heard that we were looking for a camshaft supplier, so I came over to ask."

"I just dealt with it casually, but I didn't expect them to come! I was speechless. These small factories really didn't know how much they were, and they actually wanted to become our parts supplier! I haven't heard of it before. After a little check, this factory used to supply parts to some low-end cars and even tricycles!"

"Haha! There are really all kinds of people now!" Everyone next to him laughed.

"Let's find a reason to send them away later." Lei Xu said casually, "The negotiations with ThyssenKrupp are important, we will prepare now."

Du Mingxuan and others waited in the reception room for half an hour, but there was no news. They asked the front desk, who said that Manager Lei was busy and asked them to continue waiting.

Lei Xu and others were already receiving the business representatives of ThyssenKrupp Company at this time, including a group of six people, one German, and five Chinese.

"Mr. Jonas is the general manager of our ThyssenKrupp Company's Huaxia Bincheng factory." One person introduced the business representative of ThyssenKrupp Company.

"Hello, welcome to our SAIC Group Lingang Automobile Knowledge Base. I am the factory business manager, Lei Xu." Lei Xu smiled and shook hands with the German.

"Hello, Mr. Lei." Jonas is about 1.8 meters tall, handsome, and speaks very fluent in Chinese.

"I didn't expect Mr. Jonas to be so good in Chinese." Lei Xu sighed, "It's almost as good as those of us locals."

"Fortunately, I have been in China for seven years and I am more familiar with it." Jonas said.

"That's great, so there is no obstacle to communication," said Lei Xu. "Mr. Jonas, I invite you to visit our exhibition center before the formal negotiations."
