The company where Nobuyuki Asada works, Hengbida Co., Ltd., produces small-displacement cars.
After seeing the pickup truck made by Wan Feng, Asada Nobuyuki became interested and asked to visit the factory.
Of course, Asada Nobuyuki came to visit, so Wan Feng immediately took Asada Nobuyuki into the workshop.
However, when Asada Nobuyuki walked into Yimen's car workshop, he unexpectedly found that there was nothing else in the workshop except machine tools.
The workshop is very clean and tidy, which is very similar to the front-line workshops of Japanese companies.
"You build cars one by one using machine tools, don't you have a production line?"
Wan Feng was a little depressed. Such a question shouldn't come out of Asada Nobuyuki's mouth.
"Mr. Asada, our car is still in the testing phase, so we don't need a production line right now. We can only install an assembly line after we finalize the design and obtain production approval."
"Which country is your product line customized from?"
“Make it yourself.”
"Can you build a production line yourself?"
Asada Nobuyuki was a little skeptical. An automobile production line was very complicated from stamping to welding, painting to assembly, and he didn't think Chinese state-owned enterprises could solve it on their own.
The countries with the best production lines in the world are Italy and Switzerland, and they make many strange and bizarre production lines.
Italy, in particular, has dozens of famous product production line factories in the world. Even Japanese car companies have many parts production lines imported from these two countries.
"We can design our own production lines, but our level is somewhat lower than the international advanced level. We have only solved the problem of whether or not we have it." Wan Feng did not hide anything in this regard and told the truth.
Nanwan Group is not planning to make any high-end automobile products now, and its self-designed production line can handle some low-end products without any problems.
As they were talking, Asada Nobuyuki and Wan Feng walked to a machining center where a component was being processed.
"Where did you buy this five-axis machine tool?" Asada Nobuyuki asked casually.
He has worked in the mechanical department for many years and is very familiar with machine tools. He can tell at a glance that this is a five-axis five-axis machine tool.
He thought it was stupid.
“We built it ourselves.”
Asada Nobuyuki paused and asked in surprise, "You made it yourself?"
I have never heard of any Chinese company that manufactures such high-end machine tools! It seems that China can't even manufacture three-axis machine tools, let alone five-axis ones.
"We actually made it ourselves, not just copied it. We have our own independent patents and property rights. We were able to make it two years ago."
Asada Nobuyuki took a deep breath.
"Your company is very interesting. What else have you manufactured?"
"There are many, including motorcycles, learning machines, pagers, electronic chips, computers, batteries, etc."
"A motorcycle is okay, at least it's connected to the car. What the hell is this learning machine pager?"
"Haha! You use other people's dissatisfaction to do it yourself."
A strange Japanese company suddenly came to Asada Nobuyuki's mind: Yamaha.
The Nanwan Group is somewhat similar to the Yamaha Group.
Unlike most Japanese companies that focus on one project, Yamaha is very different in Japan. It has made many different products.
Even if other companies expand into other fields, they are all closely related to the main business of the group.
But not Yamaha.
It has done many projects, most of which are unrelated to the industry. The strange thing is that most of these whimsical things it has created can become popular.
Yamaha originally made organs, and the invention of a device called a tuning fork helped his Fengqin gain popularity.
After the success of the Fengqin, the founder of Yamaha had a second-year syndrome and used its tuning fork to make all musical instruments.
Trumpet, guitar, drums...
It has reached the pinnacle in the traditional wooden musical instrument industry.
After the emergence of electronic musical instruments, Yamaha became the leader in this field after diligent research.
Perhaps Yamaha was unhappy that electronic instruments had replaced wooden instruments, or they felt that they would be ashamed of their ancestors if they lost their wooden instruments.
The most common use of wood at that time was to make furniture.
So, Yamaha started making furniture, and it sold quite well.
There has to be a place to put the furniture after it’s made, right?
Let it be, and Yamaha will build a building.
Because Yamaha was so good at working with wood, it was noticed by the Japanese government when airplanes still used wooden propellers, and they started making propellers for airplanes.
Once there was a problem with the propeller, someone wanted to make Yamaha take the blame and insisted that there was something wrong with their wood pulp.
Yamaha was not happy with this and took the faulty engine back for research, only to find out that the problem was with the Toyota engine.
Yamaha got angry and started making engines.
That was in the fifties.
At that time, Japan's domestic automobile industry was not yet developed, but motorcycles were becoming popular.
But Honda and Suzuki have their own engines, so your engine can just sit there and cool down.
What a tragedy.
Yamaha, which has the characteristics of a weirdo, simply built motorcycles again, and competed with Honda and Suzuki in various international competitions, and it even won in many fields.
Honda and Suzuki were very angry.
Now that I’ve mastered motorcycles, the next step is naturally to build cars.
Yamaha's car engines are also quite powerful, even Toyota has started to use its engines.
If the stupid Japanese government had not forced Yamaha to lose its qualification to manufacture cars by allocating development priorities after losing it for 30 years, Yamaha might be among the giants in the automotive industry today.
But Yamaha is not doing this for nothing. If I am not allowed to make cars, can I make ships?
Yamaha started to build motorboats, and in later generations, Yamaha became unique in the motorboat field and became very successful.
The motorboat is running on the sea with strong wind and rough waves, which requires a good windshield.
Yamaha had a brain short circuit and started making glass again. After making glass, it used fiberglass to make bathtubs and fiberglass slides.
Slides seem to have no other use except to entertain children. In order to maximize the use of slides, Yamaha built several amusement parks using fiberglass slides.
It is said that even Disney feels threatened.
It seems a waste of fiberglass to make only so many things.
So, golf clubs, tennis rackets, bows and arrows, skis...
Yamaha also makes pure water purification equipment, which is quite famous in Africa.
Since I feel uncomfortable using others' methods, I just do it myself, and I can do it successfully.
Asada Nobuyuki saw the shadow of Yamaha in Wan Feng.
After listening to Asada Nobuyuki's description, Wan Feng was stunned for a moment.
Huh? Is there really such a company in this world?
He only knows about Yamaha's motorcycles, and he doesn't really know anything else.
Having said that, I feel like I should have a drink with the founder of Yamaha if he were still alive.
