SMM Network News: recently, Hangang Hangang Automotive Household Appliance Board Division SAIC team sent good news: the company's car board successfully passed the 8 parts of SAIC's new model. At the same time, a certain production model of SAIC plans to re-optimize the two parts of the inner and outer plates of the engine, and the automobile steel of Handan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. has successfully passed the mold test of the two optimized parts because of its excellent quality.

After learning that SAIC had a new model to test, the SAIC customer manager of the company's automotive appliance board division came to SAIC at the first time. But the negotiation didn't go well at the beginning, but the manager was not discouraged. He came twice if he couldn't do it once, and three times if he didn't do it twice. Before getting the notice of mold test for seven parts, the manager went to SAIC almost every day and went through the tedious reception formalities once a day. Even the person in charge of SAIC procurement could not take the manager and said jokingly, "Manager Chang, if you don't grind my parts, you will never let us go, will you?"

After getting the notice of the mold test of seven parts, the manager returned to the company without stopping. With the full cooperation of the cadres and workers of various units of the company, the test mold materials of eight parts, including the top cover, the engine cover, the inner plate of the left and right front and rear doors and the inner plate of the tail door, were delivered to SAIC Zhengzhou base at the first time, and passed the mold test smoothly. The next step is to enter the stage of batch supply. At the same time, a mass-produced model of SAIC intends to re-optimize the two parts of the inner and outer plates of the engine, and with the efforts of the manager, the trial mold of steel for the optimized parts of the model has also been won for the company and passed the test successfully.
