Mr. Hikawa expressed his confusion as to why Wu Changfeng wanted to visit the Hitachi workshop.
What's there to see here?
They're all just production lines, all the same old thing.
What else can you see?
No, even if I could see something, I doubt you'd be kind enough to come and offer guidance, would you?
This made Hikawa-kun even more puzzled.
But he still followed him; to him, Wu Changfeng was like a mystery.
They always manage to do things that are truly eye-opening.
But this time, Hikawa was disappointed.
The three entered the workshop, and Wu Changfeng was genuinely "looking" around.
Look at it without any falsehoods.
It mainly depends on the manufacturers of the excavator's supporting parts.
Although Mr. Hikawa did not enter the heavy industrial equipment industry, the production equipment was almost all very similar.
Take home appliances as an example; not every component is manufactured by the manufacturer itself.
This requires a complete industrial chain to supply the components.
For example, electronic components need to be produced by specialized factories, and plastic casings also need to be purchased as finished products.
It's impossible for a factory to produce every single part.
For specialized components, you have to outsource their production to upstream manufacturers.
Otherwise, too much distraction will negatively impact product quality.
The same goes for excavators. Hitachi can produce the chassis, but try producing the tracks.
We still need to purchase from the supporting manufacturers.
You can manufacture your own oil pipes, but what about the oil pumps?
Therefore, the production of a product is inseparable from the industrial chain of various industries.
You don't even need to manufacture a single screw yourself; you can simply purchase it.
At that time, the island nation still had a very complete supply chain.
The mainland is relatively lacking in this area.
However, in about twenty years, mainland China will become the world's most complete industrial chain.
For any spare parts, as long as you shout it out, someone will definitely take your order.
This convenient and fast purchasing method is not available anywhere else.
There's no other reason than that China is the factory of the world, and that's no joke.
At this point, Hikawa-kun was even more confused.
He initially thought that Wu Changfeng would secretly learn Hitachi's installation techniques.
Unexpectedly, Wu Changfeng showed no interest whatsoever and instead wandered around the warehouse.
Ono was so annoyed that he had no choice but to send Wu Changfeng away, though he couldn't be nice to him.
After leaving Hitachi, Wu Changfeng smacked his lips, as if he hadn't had enough of looking at it yet!
Of course, there was a purpose to visiting the warehouse.
Fortunately, my mind was still clear, and I remembered quite a lot of things.
But that's far from enough.
After finishing his day's activities, Wu Changfeng immediately returned to the hotel and wrote down everything he remembered.
the next day.
Hikawa-kun picked up Takeshi Nagafusa, and the two went to Komatsu excavators.
This time, they were received by a man named Zhuxi.
Zhu Xi is the head of the sales department.
Upon seeing Wu Changfeng arrive, they assumed that Richuan-kun had successfully persuaded him.
Komatsu urgently needs a mainland agent to facilitate government relations.
Once a stable relationship is established, Komatsu can kick Wu Changfeng out and take a smaller share of the profits.
Zhu Xi's plan was well-thought-out, but he wasn't as shrewd as Wu Changfeng.
How could Wu Changfeng not know this?
These foreign companies have done plenty of things like crossing the river and then dismantling the bridge, or discarding the donkey after it has served its purpose.
The most typical examples are Coca-Cola and Pepsi.
I get angry just thinking about Wu Changfeng.
In terms of planning objectives, Wu Changfeng would inevitably have to clash with the two Coca-Cola companies sooner or later.
After arriving in Komatsu.
Zhu Xi was very enthusiastic: "Mr. Wu, have you thought it through? Becoming our Xiaosong's agent will definitely bring you your share of the rewards. Our company is very generous to those who have made contributions, and we will certainly give you a satisfactory reward."
Wu Changfeng directly refused: "Actually, I came here to buy excavator technology."
Takeshi turned to look at Hikawa-kun, so the work didn't go well?
Didn't we clearly state that we don't sell technology?
Why are you here again?
Hikawa shrugged, indicating that he knew nothing and was just a guide.
Zhu Xi smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, excavator technology cannot be sold. We can find another way to cooperate, such as what I just mentioned."
Wu Changfeng thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll offer another way of cooperation."
"Please speak."
Wu Changfeng said seriously, "I presume that Komatsu has already started doing business in mainland China and has some orders, right?"
"It may be a little short of your goal, but I believe that infrastructure construction in mainland China will soon be booming and will require a large amount of engineering equipment."
"Actually, although the government is the main procuring entity in mainland China now, things will definitely improve in the future, and the possibility of private individuals purchasing excavators is very high."
"Hitachi is very optimistic about this."
Zhu Xi smiled wryly: "We can talk about the future later. Right now, we need to establish a firm foothold."
“I understand,” Wu Changfeng continued, “To gain a foothold, you need not only sales and market share, but also after-sales service!”
Zhu Xi was stunned for a moment. Wu Changfeng had actually thought about after-sales service?
That's right, any device can have problems, big or small.
This demonstrates the value of after-sales service.
Komatsu currently does not have an after-sales service center in mainland China.
Some equipment breaks down and can't be repaired on the mainland, so we have to send people by plane to the mainland to fix it.
This round trip takes a long time and costs a lot.
Komatsu has also put after-sales service points on its agenda.
But the location for construction has not yet been chosen.
After all, land, location, and people all need to be considered.
But what does Wu Changfeng want to do by bringing this up?
