Chapter 1665 Coup
The weather in China in January is very bad, but in the neighboring country-Japan's Ryukyu Island, apart from the year-round strong winds, the climate is very mild.
In the past few days at the end of January, there is a world-wide bicycle exhibition here. In addition to various finished bicycles, there are also various bicycle parts. Everyone hopes to get orders from merchants, whether it is a complete bicycle or a bicycle.
Yes, both parts and components can increase profits for your company.
But to be honest, in the field of high-end bicycles, Chinese manufacturers such as Phoenix, Forever and other brands, although the quality is not bad, the overall shape, use of color, and exquisite materials are far behind.
In this era, the most popular bicycles in the world are still Japanese, European and American bicycles.
Therefore, inside the venue, the Huaguo booth area was not large, and the five or six exhibitors who came were all crowded into an area of less than 200 square meters. Even when they displayed their products, it seemed a bit crowded.
It's not as high-end as other companies' high-end atmosphere.
Everyone comes here with the idea of trying their luck, but there is no hope of signing a contract. For example, several parts manufacturers that produce aluminum alloy frames want to rely on their advantages of high quality and low price to get some
Order.
Because even if they sell at cost price, according to the preferential export tax rebates provided by the country, their profits are still considerable.
Every country has certain subsidies for the export of its domestic products. This is why every time there is a trade war, others have to conduct anti-dumping and anti-dumping investigations on our products. Isn’t anti-dumping the same as anti-dumping?
And "countervailing"?
But if you look at it from a broad perspective, don’t European countries have it? The United States doesn’t have it? Japan doesn’t have it?
It’s all there!
It just depends on which country is strong and which country has the strongest consumption. Then it has the right to formulate rules. You try it. When China becomes strong and our market develops, and Yankee cars and Coca-Cola come in, we dare
Don’t you dare investigate them? You certainly do!
Coming back to the topic, these China's best vehicle and parts manufacturers have been busy all morning, but they can only go to eat lunch one after another sadly.
As a joint representative of the three best aluminum alloy manufacturers in Chengdu, Juling, Gibbon, and Longteng. Tu Jiaju of Juling Aluminum was the last one to get a lunch box because he was waiting for someone.
Seeing a young man running over panting, Tu Jiaju quickly asked: "How is it?"
"Fuck!" The young man took the mineral water handed over by Tu Jiaju and took a few sips before saying: "Singapore's perseverance Seiko snatched this order. After hearing their boast, the Belgian manufacturer thought
The technical indicators of manufacturers in mainland China cannot meet the requirements. So I would rather pay a higher price and give it to them!"
"Damn! Isn't this bullying?" Tu Jiaju scratched his head and said angrily: "They have robbed the bicycle frame business of 6061. Now we just want to make the aluminum alloy parts of the faucet assembly 7005. How can we also rob this business?
ah?"
"That's how we fight against competitors in the industry!" The young man also looked unhappy. "That fake foreign devil from Singapore also said in a weird way that in today's society, garbage is not given away to people for free, everyone will want it.
Only good products have a market. Outdated and inferior products should be thrown into the garbage!"
"Pooh!"
Tu Jiaju, who was in his fifties, immediately spat, "When I was making aluminum alloys, that bastard was still eating shit and said such evil words!?"
"But there is nothing we can do!" The young man smiled bitterly, "General Manager, the order from Belgium is already relatively easy. In the afternoon, the order from Japan, the United Kingdom and Canada will be placed. Their requirements are more stringent and there is more discrimination.
! Besides, in the morning, parts manufacturers in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea had not moved much yet. If they did, even those in Singapore would have to kneel down, let alone us?"
"Huh, that's not necessarily true!"
Tu Jiaju sneered, clenched his fists, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that this is the only way!"
"How about what? General manager, do you have any idea?" The young man expressed some doubts.
Tu Jiaju did not answer the question, but said slowly, "Actually, whether it is the 6061 industrial aluminum used for bicycle frames or the 7005 aerospace aluminum used for faucet components, the technical difficulty is not very high, and there is no design aesthetics.
Wait, it can be said that as long as it is a medium-sized aluminum alloy factory, it can be done if it is serious."
"Then why can't we get orders? Even Fairy Company recognizes the craftsmanship of our three factories!" Young man Xiaoma said doubtfully, "As for technical strength, what I want to say to them is,
They didn’t even listen.”
"Of course they didn't listen! This is a trade barrier!" Tu Jiaju sneered, "Just because it's not difficult, they want to prevent new manufacturers from coming in to share the cake! Look at those people, how they treat us, the first
Aren’t the parts manufacturers participating in the exhibition for the first time ostracizing and ignoring us? The manufacturers in Kazakhstan and India are also no better than us!"
"You said that... I think that's what happened!" After Xiao Ma suddenly realized it, the doubts in his heart were still unsolved, "What you just said was... do you have any good ideas?"
"Of course there is a way!" Tu Jiaju said: "Come here with your ears!"
Xiao Ma stretched his head over, and Tu Jiaju's voice also became softer. Xiao Ma's face looked like surprise, then worry, and finally turned into a look of risk-taking.
"Okay! General manager, I listen to you!" Xiao Ma stamped his foot, "I'll go outside and take care of the matter right now!"
With that said, he ran out quickly.
"Why are you running so fast? Eat first!"
However, Xiaoma didn't hear Tu Jiaju's instructions and kept running away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
…
Lunch time passed by in a flash. Tu Jiaju came back and waited for half an hour, but the pony was still missing.
Seeing that the exhibition was about to begin in the afternoon, he even saw Richard Cotton, the most famous CEO of Specialized in the United States, Picantini, the president of TIME, and Feng Anqi of Solomo, already at the exhibition.
Wandering around inside.
Cycling enthusiasts all know the three famous brands above. Specialized, nicknamed "Lightning", is called the "BMW of bicycles". It is definitely the benchmark in the industry for road bicycles and mountain bikes, and is the most famous.
The Tour de France, one of the world's largest bicycle races, has designated Specialized's bikes.
In addition, France's TIME's design of the frame system and self-locking system of the road car even surpasses all other opponents, it is absolutely sophisticated!
Germany's Solomo company continues the rigor and seriousness of the Germans. Their bicycles have a very fashionable European style. Whether they are mountain bikes, road bikes or folding bikes, the quality is incredibly stable and solid!
The above three companies basically occupy 35% of the mid-to-high-end bicycle market. In an environment with thousands of bicycle brands around the world, this is already a very good share.
Once a company gets their parts order, it will immediately become famous in the industry, become the first choice of parts supplier for many bicycle manufacturers, and make a lot of money.
Unfortunately, their requirements are very strict. So far, 80% of parts suppliers have cooperated with them for more than 30 years, and only 20% of parts are subject to change.
The Singapore booth was right next to the Huaguo booth. Seeing Tu Jiaju looking at several industry giants in the distance, Peter Zhou, the general manager of Jianyi Seiko, sneered.
Tu Jiaju just turned his head and frowned when he saw this: "Why are you laughing?"
Peter Chow replied in his half-baked Chinese: "I'm laughing at some people who overestimate their abilities. Isn't it enough to lose face this morning? The difficulty will be even greater in the afternoon than in the morning. Do you have any other wishful thinking?"
Next to Tu Jiaju stood Lin Weidong, the deputy director of Phoenix Bicycle Factory. He himself had a hot temper. Upon seeing this, he immediately retorted: "You guys are awesome. Let's try to grab a few more orders this afternoon? Don't go out for a few days, even yourself."
Even your ancestors don’t know, if you were my son, I would beat you until you wouldn’t even be able to recognize your mother!”
Peter Chow's ancestors went to Singapore. It was pure nonsense to say that he went there "for a few days", but this made Peter Chou furious.
Just when he was about to ridicule these Chinese people again, he suddenly saw Xiao Ma running over in a hurry holding a pile of red cloth.
Tu Jiaju also saw it. He was overjoyed when he saw it and hurriedly greeted him: "Is it done?"
"It's done! I finally found a suitable advertising company and rushed to get it done." Xiao Ma was sweating profusely and started busy in cooperation with Tu Jiaju.
The two men opened the curtain, but it was a banner five meters long and 80 centimeters wide. When they used nails to nail the banner to the top of the entrance to the exhibition area, Zhou Peter's eyes widened.
There are two rows of huge characters written on it in English and Japanese.
"Coming from an aluminum alloy factory in Chengdu, we have taken orders for the back cases of Fairy Company's DreamPad and DreamStars, so we are confident that we are the best aluminum alloy company in the world!"
Isn’t it!?
Peter Zhou's heart skipped a beat, and his face quickly turned ugly.
They are actually the suppliers of Fairy Company?
How could a consortium of small companies in one place be chosen by the Fairy Company, which is known for its harshness?
Chapter completed!
