Since being appointed as the vice president of development, Yuwen Xing has been very energetic and has been collecting lists and information of outstanding companies in various industries. He just wants to spend money as soon as possible and take all the outstanding companies in the world as soon as possible.

Less than two months after the group meeting, he walked into Long Jianhua's office with great enthusiasm.

"Longsheng, I have two goals this time. The first is Kota Co., Ltd., the island of Japan, which produces seat belts and child safety seats. Now we are studying airbags..."

Listening to his story, Long Jianhua kept rubbing his temples.

Gaoda Co., Ltd., as a supplier of auto parts, he knows it.

The company will be the second largest airbag manufacturer in the world in the future. Since 2009, it has been frequently accused due to unqualified product quality and filed for bankruptcy protection in 2015.

Originally, Gaotian Co., Ltd., which was founded in 1933, only produced cotton textiles such as safety ropes; after the end of the North-South Rod Kingdom War, its founder Gaotian Wusan discovered a new product called a safety belt during an inspection in the United States. He brought the samples back to Japan and developed them for nearly ten years.

After successful research, he talked about cooperation with Honda Soyoro, who is also a technical maniac, and the two hit it off; then, Honda's first passenger car, the S500, became the first Japanese model to be equipped with a two-point seat belt device.

As a result, Gaoda Co., Ltd. completed a successful transformation from the textile industry to the automotive parts industry.

Their cooperation indirectly promoted the introduction of a new regulation - in 1969, the Japanese government of the island required that new cars must be equipped with seat belts before leaving the factory.

In 1974, Gotata Wusan retired and was taken over by his son Tadao Yoshiro Gota. Since 1976, Gotata began to develop child safety seats and airbags, and launched child safety seats in 1977.

However, in that era, such products were not valued.

Even so, they persisted in researching and improving the safety seats for branch materials in 1985, and have been mainstream since then.

Since 1966, Mercedes-Benz began to study airbag devices, and in December 1980, it installed airbags in the latest model, Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan.

Due to this stimulation, Honda also decided to install airbags, so he looked for Gao Tian to cooperate in this regard.

Although it is also a safety protection product, Gao Tian first refused the airbag. He said, "If there is a problem with the airbag, Gao Tian will go bankrupt. We don't want to walk on this dangerous bridge."

He failed to withstand Honda's repeated invitations. Since 1987, Gao Tian has increased research on airbags and has become a partner of Honda's driving module development unit.

After intervening, Gao Tian made ambition, "There will be one day when no one will die in a traffic accident."

By 2014, it had 58 production bases in 28 countries around the world, becoming the second largest airbag manufacturer, second only to Ultravier in the Kingdom of Swade.

In fact, Gaotian's airbags have had quality problems since around 2000, but because the media was not very developed at that time, it did not enter the public's attention.

It was not until May 2009 that an 18-year-old American girl drove to pick her brother up and had a car accident on her way from school, and she died of heavy blood loss.

What caused her death was the airbag that should have been protected - a piece of metal that appeared after the explosion cut through her carotid artery, which should not have existed.

This news immediately occupied the front pages of TV, newspapers, and websites, attracting attention from the American people and causing intervention from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The desperate Aita Co., Ltd. did not use the correct response method, exposing the company's extremely poor customer relationship management.

Tows, they even refused to disclose the details of defective airbag problems in the tests participated by the top ten global auto manufacturers, which eventually led to the US regulators asking them to recall all airbags.

There are 3,040 cars using Gaotian airbags in the United States, with an estimated 120 million cars worldwide.

In this case, they can only recall, resulting in continuous losses and eventually apply for bankruptcy protection...

This information was not recorded by him in a small notebook.

Yuwen Xing briefly introduced the situation and looked at him enthusiastically, "Longsheng, this seat belt is good. The child safety seat and airbag are also used to protect the safety of ginseng. It should be very promising. I think it can be purchased."

"Besides, we also need to produce cars, which is also a very important spare parts. The quality of our own production is ultimately more confident than others."

Things are good things, and their application scope will become wider and wider.

But this is also something that is at stake in human life.

Even if it only occurs once in a million cases, it is one in a million for a company, which is a good level; but for those who have passed away, what they bring is life, which is 100%!

This is also the reason why the plane crash is more noticeable than other vehicles crashes.

Without it, the plane crash is destroyed, and other methods are rarely like this unless it is a disaster like the Titanic hitting an iceberg.

He sighed softly, "Yusheng, are you aiming at the entire automobile industry chain? Are you not afraid of others suing us for monopoly?"

Yuwen Xing laughed, "Longsheng, you are a layman, this does not constitute a monopoly. There is also the Ultra River Company in Swade Kingdom, and they also produce the same products, and the scale is not small."

Long Jianhua looked at him steadily.

It seems that he has done a very detailed investigation.

"This product is really good. Since you have chosen Gaotian, why not choose Ultra River? The airbags have been successfully developed and installed in the car."

"Since the products are the same, we need to buy the best ones. As mentioned at the meeting at the beginning of the year, we need to be the first one to do."

“Although Ultraver’s seat belt sales are slightly worse, their airbags have been put into use, and this one is more profitable.”

"More importantly, the airbags are currently only installed on high-end cars, and Japan currently does not have world-class cars. The cars are all in Ome, and the real market is there."

He knew that Mercedes-Benz's airbags were only put into use after about 250 real car impact tests, 2,500 bench tests, and more than 7 million kilometers of vehicle road tests.

Since developing it requires so much cost, why not buy already mature products directly?

Another point is that he does not like to acquire island Japanese companies.

It’s okay to make money, unless there is no way, raising people is another matter.

Yuwen Xing rubbed his face, "Then change the direction and don't buy it, but go buy Ultraliver? The reason I focused on investigating it is because I heard that the airbag is about to be developed successfully, but its market is not very big, so there is still time."

Long Jianhua nodded, "Change the direction, come back and buy it if you can't."
