Chapter 874 Industrial Overlord, You Can’t Disobey

The outstanding performance of Nanshan Automobile Group and Honor Technology in 2013 has undoubtedly become the focus of many people's attention.

Especially Honor Technology, the rise of this company is too fast.

It has only been established for a few years, but now it has become a super large enterprise with a turnover of more than 1 trillion.

After the official data of Honor Technology in 2013 was officially announced, the stock prices of suppliers who supplied screens and other parts to Honor Technology immediately rose sharply.

Although most of the parts of Honor Technology are produced by companies within the group, it is inevitable that some parts will be purchased from outside.

Even the overall assembly is entrusted to BYD for OEM.

"Mr. Wang, our group's turnover this year is also record-breaking."

"The automobile business has created a new high, the battery business has created a new high, and the OEM business has also created a new high."

As the assistant to the general manager of BYD and the head of the OEM business division, Zhong Qiang has a clear understanding of the development of the entire company.

In recent years, BYD has been developing at a relatively fast speed.

In particular, thanks to the rapid development of the OEM business, the scale of turnover has increased dramatically.

Although they mainly earn a little processing fee and management fee for OEM production of a mobile phone, they can't stand the large number.

The total number of Honor Technology's mobile phones, PADs and computers alone exceeds 200 million.

And Huawei's mobile phones, PADs and computers are also growing at a gratifying rate.

Foxconn can make itself a Fortune 500 company simply by relying on OEM business. BYD not only has OEM business, but also has automobile, parts, battery and other businesses.

Relying on the big tree of Honor Technology, the prospects are obviously more worth looking forward to.

"We should have a good relationship with Honor Technology, and try our best to have a good relationship with Nanshan Automobile Group in the automotive business."

"They are now completely rising, and it is no surprise that they are the industrial hegemons of China. We just need to develop behind them."

Wang Fu is very clear now.

Don't compete with Nanshan companies, you will definitely not be able to beat them in the end.

The key is that BYD Group is still relying on Nanshan Group.

BYD's stock price has doubled in the past year, and the situation is very good.

These are closely related to the excellent performance of Honor Technology and others.

"Nanshan Automobile Group and Honor Technology have officially announced their performance last year."

"But they have many other companies, and their performance is expected to be very good."

"Like Nanshan Special Steel, the mold steel and some high-end special steel we use are almost all purchased from Nanshan Special Steel."

"And Nanshan Semiconductor, although they have invested a lot, each factory has begun to get on track, and the performance is expected to be good."

"As for Nanshan Equipment, the report of the "Great Power Heavy Industry" series on Huaxia TV some time ago made them famous."

"Mr. Wang, I think as long as the company adjusts some strategies for Nanshan Group companies and can follow their pace, it is not easy to make strategic mistakes."

Zhong Qiang obviously admires the development strategy of Nanshan Group.

However, Wang Fu has a different opinion on his proposal.

"For projects with cooperation with the other party, such as OEM business, we have no problem following the pace of Nanshan Group."

"We started the automobile and battery business very early, and the other party will not say anything if we also focus on developing it."

"But if other businesses follow too closely, it is easy for people to think that we are competitors."

"For example, in the equipment business, we are now mainly producing some special equipment for our own group, but if we develop external business in an all-round way like Nanshan Equipment, the situation may be different."

"The same is true for some other fields."

Wang Fu had previously arranged people to focus on the study of engines and gearboxes, but from the current situation, the effect is not particularly ideal.

Not to mention that the gearbox has not yet been mass-produced, just in terms of engines, as long as it is equipped with BYD's own engine, the market adverse situation is obviously higher than that of Nanshan engines.

The most important thing is that consumers are obviously a little resistant to BYD's own engines.

At the beginning, everyone didn't know about this change point and didn't react.

Later, this news gradually spread on the Internet, and everyone knew that some BYD models used their own engines, and some used Nanshan engines.

When buying a car, some consumers will directly ask the 4S salesperson where the engine of the car they are going to buy is produced.

As a result, the sales of cars equipped with BYD's own engines are obviously not as good as those using Nanshan engines.

Although from a cost perspective, self-produced engines seem to be cheaper.

But that is based on the premise that the number of units can be increased.

According to the current scale that the total number of engines of multiple models is less than 200,000 units per year, the final cost is actually not much different.

The key is that because of this incident, BYD's automotive business and the relationship with Nanshan Automotive Group have obviously been affected to a certain extent.

Nanshan Auto Parts' annual price reduction for BYD Auto is less than in previous years.

Comprehensive calculation, BYD's own engine business does not seem to save money.

So Wang Fu began to reflect on some of BYD's practices.

"That's right, we have a lot of business segments now."

"It's actually very good to make the existing segments bigger and stronger."

Zhong Qiang realized that there were major problems with his proposal and immediately changed his statement.

His desire to survive is still very strong, and there is no need to be stubborn about this kind of thing.

While Zhong Qiang and Wang Fu were discussing the situation of the Nanshan Group, the companies in the Nanshan Group were also busy reporting their performance to Cao Yang.

Nanshan Automotive Group and Honor Technology performed very well, and other companies were not bad either.

"Mr. Cao, this year Nanshan Special Steel has completely completed the integration of Shaoguan Iron and Steel. At present, half of Shaoguan Iron and Steel's crude steel production capacity is used to process into high-end special steel products."

"The rest is also considered to be used directly to produce hot stamping steel plates and other high-value-added steel plates after appropriate transformation of the production line."

Xie Lingyun is now considered an important figure in China's steel industry.

Although Nanshan Special Steel's overall steel output is only more than 2 million tons, it is only a fraction of Baosteel, Shougang, Anshan Iron and Steel, and Wuhan Iron and Steel.

But you can't resist that Nanshan Special Steel's products are very high-end and have high added value. It costs tens of thousands of yuan per ton at any time, and some high-end special steels are even hundreds of thousands of yuan per ton.

Compared with some steel mills that produce rebars at a few thousand yuan per ton, this is completely different.

It can be said that most ordinary steel has no profit.

The cost of iron ore, coke, etc. is not low, but the rebar produced in the end is very cheap.

Even some cabbages are more expensive than it.

After all, if it is 3,000 to 4,000 yuan per ton, it is only 2 yuan per pound.

The price of most green vegetables in big cities is more than this number.

Fortunately, there is Nanshan Special Steel, otherwise some more strange situations will occur.

That is, China exports a large amount of crude steel at a price of several thousand yuan per ton, and then imports a large amount of special steel at a price of tens of thousands of yuan per ton.

This in and out really makes people wonder what to say.

It is different now.

Nanshan Special Steel can produce most of the special steels. Even if some models cannot be produced, foreign steel manufacturers dare not make the import price too exaggerated.

Because the exaggerated price is equivalent to forcing China to study this type of special steel by itself.

Of course, a small number of manufacturers who do not believe in evil are excluded.

Just like the Invar steel used on LNG transport ships before, it is an extremely high import price.

Because people think you will definitely not be able to make it.

There are also a small number of special steels with relatively small usage, and there are similar situations.

But overall, the situation has changed a lot.

"If we produce hot stamped steel plates, won't Baosteel have objections?"

Although Nanshan Special Steel has developed hot stamped steel plates with aluminum silicon coatings a long time ago.

However, Nanshan Special Steel did not think of the crude steel production line at that time, and could not produce hot stamped steel plates, so it chose to cooperate with Baosteel.

So far, most of the hot stamped steel plates of Yangcheng Huaqiang Plant are purchased from Baosteel.

Now Nanshan Special Steel wants to do it on its own, which will definitely affect the interests of Baosteel.

"Baosteel has been reaping the benefits of this for many years, so we should be content."

"Automobile steel plates are a type with relatively high added value among all ordinary steel plates."

"The most important thing is that our Nanshan Automobile Group consumes a large amount of automotive steel plates every year. If we purchase them completely from outside, there will be certain risks."

"It's OK that we couldn't do it ourselves before, but now that we have acquired Shaoguan Iron and Steel, we have the ability in this area. I think we can consider producing it ourselves."

"In particular, we have developed ultra-high-strength hot-stamped steel plates with a tensile strength of 2000MPA, and we are also able to produce ultra-high-strength cold-stamped steel plates."

"These products are not yet involved in Baosteel, so we can start with this part of the market."

Xie Lingyun naturally considered some reactions from Baosteel.

So some plans have been prepared in advance.

"There is no need to increase the crude steel production capacity of Nanshan Special Steel, but if the existing production capacity is not fully utilized, it is not impossible to make automotive plates."

"Most of the automotive plates from Baosteel are actually produced by the joint venture company Baosteel-Nippon Steel. Baosteel's own products are not particularly numerous, especially high-end products are relatively scarce."

Cao Yang listened to Xie Lingyun and did not insist.

He was not from Baosteel, so he just needed to pay proper attention to the situation and did not need to think too much about them.

"Yes, in fact, many domestic high-end automotive plates are imported from Japan and other places."

"Even some so-called domestic automotive plates may have motherboards imported from Japan or Korea, but they are just rolled in China."

"We can completely take over the high-end automotive plate business and allow China's automotive industry to develop more healthily."

Xie Lingyun is now very indifferent to imported materials, imported equipment, imported parts, etc.

In addition to raw materials such as crude oil and iron ore, he thinks that other things should be domestically produced.

This is what Cao Yang thought of.

"How much was Nanshan Special Steel's turnover last year?"

Cao Yang has always attached great importance to the materials industry as the foundation of industry.

Otherwise, he would not have personally participated in the research and development of many products of Nanshan Special Steel, Nanshan Carbon Fiber and Nanshan Chemical.

"Last year, it exceeded 200 billion yuan, reaching 222 billion yuan."

"This is still the case that part of the crude steel production capacity of Shaoguan Iron and Steel has not been fully utilized. If it is fully utilized, there will be no problem in exceeding 300 billion in turnover."

As a steel company, Xie Lingyun does not have the high goal of operating Nanshan Special Steel into a trillion-dollar enterprise.

After all, their situation is different from that of Nanshan Automobile Group and Honor Technology.

The overall domestic steel production capacity is definitely in excess, so large-scale expansion is not a good solution.

Just make high-end products well.

Otherwise, if you expand the scale, the money you earn may become less, which will be meaningless.

"This result is already very good, and it can be considered a top ranking in the steel industry."

"Even if Nanshan Special Steel is ranked alone, it can be included in the list of the world's top 500."

After Cao Yang said this, Xie Lingyun immediately couldn't help but say: "Mr. Cao, if the ranking is based on individual companies, then there are actually quite a few companies in our group that can enter the world's top 500."

"Xingchen Automobile, Jaguar Land Rover and Honor Technology are definitely on the list, and the ranking is not low."

"Future Automobile It is estimated that it will be included in the list of the world's top 500 next year. "

"And Nanshan Engine, Nanshan Gearbox and Nanshan Auto Parts can also make it to the list, or are close to it."

"There is also Nanshan Carbon Fiber. Their turnover last year is not much different from ours, so they are naturally one of the top 500."

"Other companies include Nanshan Equipment and Nanshan Semiconductor, which are also potential stocks. In the future, there may be more than 10 companies in our Nanshan system on the list."

When Xie Lingyun said this, he seemed very excited.

These companies in the Nanshan system are all industrial enterprises, engaged in industry.

Other non-industrial enterprises such as Autohome, Yangcheng Bank, Weibo, Nanshan Film and Television, and Nanshan Investment are also strong.

According to the current scale, the Nanshan system is definitely a mature and industrial hegemon-level economy.

"Unconsciously, our group has reached this scale."

"However, there are too many types of special steels. We have not yet involved some of the grades. You still have a lot of room for improvement."

As the most basic steel material among all materials, it is not too important to pay too much attention to it.

In all walks of life, there is no industry that does not involve raw materials such as steel.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, even the equipment for producing clothes and processing food, will use various special steels.

This field is worth the staff of Nanshan Special Steel to continue to study.

"Mr. Cao, we have comprehensively counted the weaknesses in the field of special steel in China, especially communicating with relevant departments to see which special steels are needed for military products, and the gap between domestic and foreign levels."

"When the time comes, we will do our best to tackle the problem and strive to make our Nanshan Special Steel's technical level the highest in the world."

As an academician of the Academy of Sciences, Xie Lingyun is also very ambitious now.

Nanshan Special Steel is already the most powerful in China, but from a global perspective, there are still competitors.

The situation in the field of special steel is particularly complicated. Many foreign special steel companies may not be so well-known, but their level in the sub-sectors is very high.

These companies have been living a comfortable life relying on their own proprietary technologies for decades.

However, the comfortable life of these companies is based on selling their products to Huaxia and other companies at high prices.

What Nanshan Special Steel needs to do in the future is to constantly break this situation and become a replacement for these competitors.

After listening to Xie Lingyun's report on Nanshan Special Steel, Cao Yang went to listen to the report of Nanshan Equipment.

As the cornerstone of the development of Nanshan enterprises, the importance of Nanshan Equipment cannot be overemphasized.

It can be said that the development of each factory of Nanshan has the shadow of Nanshan Equipment.

Nanshan Semiconductor can become the world's first chip company to achieve 14 nanometer process because Nanshan Equipment has mastered chip production equipment such as lithography machines.

Nanshan Carbon Fiber can catch up with Toray and Hershey, and finally surpass them in T1100 and T1200 carbon fiber, also because Nanshan Equipment has developed high-end carbon fiber processing equipment.

Nanshan Battery can become the world's most technologically advanced and largest power battery company, also because Nanshan Equipment assisted in the development of the world's most efficient battery processing production line.

Nanshan Special Steel, Nanshan Chemical, Nanshan Automobile Group...

Behind every factory is the shadow of Nanshan Equipment.

So even though Nanshan Equipment's current turnover is less than that of Honor Technology, Xingchen Automobile, Jaguar Land Rover, Nanshan Transmission, Nanshan Special Steel and other companies, its position in the group has not deteriorated at all.

Even because of the broadcast of "Great Power Heavy Industry" on Huaxia TV, Nanshan Equipment has become the core of Nanshan companies.

Huaxia can do without Xingchen Automobile, Jaguar Land Rover, Future Automobile, and even Honor Technology, which will not have much impact on China's industrial strength.

But if there is no Nanshan Equipment, then China's current industrial competitiveness will drop a level.

This impact is absolutely huge.

"Mr. Cao, we have basically entered a relatively stable state of development."

"The business of each division, such as semiconductor, machine tool division, battery division, carbon fiber division, etc., has gradually stabilized."

"In the future, the main thing is to continuously upgrade the equipment and develop some new products in combination with market demand."

"But we have basically taken all the categories into consideration."

Nanshan Equipment has been very well-known in recent times, but Pan Jinxing has become much more low-key.

Nanshan Equipment is different from other companies such as Honor Technology. It is impossible for it to develop by leaps and bounds every year.

These equipments are in demand only when there are factories built or production lines are transformed.

The construction of factories in individual fields may develop by leaps and bounds for a period of time.

Just like the battery division, it has sold a lot of battery production lines in the past two years.

But overall, industrial development cannot be rapid all the time.

Overall, it is relatively normal to move forward at a similar pace every year.

So Pan Jinxing now wants to lower everyone's expectations for Nanshan Equipment's revenue, so as not to put so much pressure on himself.

"The main areas are indeed basically laid out. We just need to stabilize the situation and make some technological breakthroughs in the sub-areas."

After more than ten years of rapid development, it is necessary to slow down and stabilize Nanshan Equipment.

Just like a bow and arrow, if the string is always pulled too tight, it may not be a good thing.

Cao Yang also understands this principle.

Therefore, it is completely acceptable to stabilize Nanshan Equipment and make appropriate adjustments to accumulate strength for the next technological breakthrough.

"Well, with the broadcast of the documentary series "Great Power Heavy Industry", our company has become completely famous in the industry."

"But everyone's expectations of us are also relatively high."

"Some military-related factories have also come to us to customize some high-precision machine tools and other equipment."

"We want to settle down in the past year, do our work more meticulously, and upgrade some existing equipment."

"In the future, we will customize and develop some special equipment in combination with the needs of relevant departments."

"And our turnover is expected to stabilize at a scale of more than 100 billion yuan, and there will not be a particularly large decline, and it is also difficult to have a particularly large increase."

Blindly expanding the scale is not a good thing.

Especially in the equipment industry, the expansion of production capacity is exaggerated, and sooner or later there will be excess.

By then, it will be a waste of money, and the money will not be earned, and the technology will not be improved.

This situation is not what Pan Jinxing wants to see, and it is certainly not what Cao Yang wants to see.

So it is necessary to stabilize, consolidate the foundation of all aspects, and then continue to move forward.

"No problem, just do it according to your idea."

Since the Nanshan equipment was handed over to Pan Jinxing, Cao Yang naturally had to give him full trust.

Anyway, the development of Nanshan Equipment has entered the right track, so it is acceptable for them to adjust for one or two years.

Then, after listening to the situation of Nanshan Equipment, Cao Yang quickly learned about the situation of Nanshan Carbon Fiber, Nanshan Chemical, Nanshan Battery and other companies.

Overall, all the companies in the Nanshan system are thriving and have promising development prospects.

After these companies reported to Cao Yang, they also released various information about 2013.

Although the companies are not listed companies, there is little financial information in the information released.

However, those dazzling sales data still brought a great impact to everyone.

The entire Nanshan system has a profound foundation and has grown into a thriving tree that can provide shade and shelter for many people.
