Chapter 197 Senteng Research Institute
Senten Automobile Research Institute is located in Fukuoka, Japan. It has been founded for more than ten years. The boss is a car fan. His love for cars has basically reached the point of obsessing with it. He always believes that Japanese cars have various shortcomings, so he invested a lot of money to create this automobile research institute and wanted to design his ideal car.
After Wuzhi arrived in Tokyo, he basically did not stop for a moment and drove directly to Fukuoka.
In advance, he had contacted Morito Ichiro Morito, the boss of the Senteng Automobile Research Institute, and expressed his intention to take over the Automobile Research Institute. Morito Ichiro was overjoyed and agreed to consult with Wuzhi Xiaoji as soon as possible.
Fukuoka is one of the five largest cities in Japan. It is located in the transportation hub of Kyushu. It has a very developed information and entertainment industry. It is surrounded by Hakata Port. Fukuoka is famous for its "food capital". It contains countless restaurants and restaurants, providing various delicacies from Japan to the world. For guests who are rare to come to Fukuoka, the famous products of Fukuoka are always the ones that you should try.
Morito Ichiro chose to meet with Wuzhi Xiaoji in a ramen restaurant. There are many types of ramen in Japan, while Fukuoka is famous for its pork bone ramen. The ramen here is made of pork bone soup, which has a white soup flavor and a unique aroma. When you want to add ramen again after a bowl, you can order "Subi Yu" (cooked ramen) and add the noodles to the remaining soup. This is also Fukuoka's unique way to eat it.
Mori Teng Ichiro and Wu Zhi Xiaoji felt a little like it at first sight. It was not that there was a utilitarian color, it was just a personal sense. As the largest supplier of inflatable dolls, Wu Zhi Xiaoji is still very famous. Mori Teng Ichiro was also a consumer of Wu Zhi Xiaoji, so when they talked about this, the two of them had some topics.
With the hot ramen, there is also chicken hotpot, which is also the original hotpot in Fukuoka. The way to eat it is to add seasonings to the chicken bone soup first, and then add citrus vinegar when eating the chicken. After eating the chicken and vegetables in the hotpot, you can also add rice to the remaining soup and cook it into chowder. The characteristic of this dish is that it tastes light and has a good taste, and you can enjoy the essence of the whole chicken.
"I haven't eaten such delicious chicken hotpot and ramen for a long time--" Wu Zhixiaoji took a sip of locally brewed rice wine, toasted with Mori Teng Ichiro, smashed his mouth and said with some emotion.
Mori Teng Ichiro asked curiously, "Mr. Wu Zhijun, aren't you doing well in China? The delicious food there is very enviable!"
Wu Zhi Xiaoji shook his head and said, "Although there are many kinds of food in China and delicious, the wanderers wander around and always miss the scenery of their hometown. In the more than a year since I left Japan, I really miss my hometown very much and often can't sleep at night."
This is not Wu Zhi's little kid deliberately sang high-profile, but his true feelings. Because of the Yasuda family, he was forced to flee to China. Although Fan Wubing had helped him solve the Yasuda family's problems and his enemies had already died, the impact on him at that time had not been completely eliminated. Therefore, he could not return to Tokyo in a high-profile manner and promote his career with great fanfare, but could only come to these remote places and make some small moves in private.
Mori Teng Ichiro said with some envy, "Actually, I still admire Wu Zhijun very much. Not only did you achieve the ultimate in your own industry, but you also emerged in different industries. Your new crystal doll is very popular among domestic consumers!"
When Wu Zhixiao Ji heard Mori Teng Ichiro mention this, he said with a little reserve, "Although I am not talented, I also know that once I choose a certain industry, I must do my best. We Japanese should have the ability to do this."
Mori Teng Ichiro agrees with Wu Zhi Xiaoji's words. If he was not a persistent person, he would not have set up this private research institute. After all, such things are very expensive and may not have a very equal economic return.
Currently, in Japan, various automobile manufacturing companies have their own R&D centers, and various research institutes are emerging one after another. Everyone is highly vigilant and strictly keeping the core technologies such as engines and transmissions. In the past, no one wanted to borrow Japanese automobile engines to study them, but basically they didn't get much, because once disassembled, the structure inside would become unrecognizable because of the self-destructing device.
It is really difficult to transform and research by dismantling the finished product without comprehensive engine technical information. At that time, Morito Ichiro was very dissatisfied with Japanese automobile technology. When he started this automotive research institute, he spent a lot of effort to dismantle and analyze the engines and transmissions of various companies, and suffered a lot. Although he had complete core engine technical information, he faced great difficulties in technology transformation.
For major companies, they do not think that a private research institute can do much, or their technology can affect the entire automobile manufacturing industry. Although Senten Automobile Research Institute has successfully developed vehicle manufacturing technology and may have achieved relatively successful results in some fields, this is not enough to affect the production and sales of major companies. Therefore, although everyone has maintained a certain degree of attention to Senten Research Institute, they are only paying attention.
After drinking two more cups, Mori Teng Ichiro's face flushed, he waved his hand to Wu Zhixiaoji and said, "Mr. Wu Zhi, I'm not to mention it. I have had preliminary contact with major companies before. They are a little interested in the researchers in my research institute, but I am simply disdainful of my research achievements over the years. My Mori Teng Ichiro has spent billions of yen to invest, and it seems that they are disdainful of these technologies he has developed, which makes me feel very disappointed!"
"So, if you acquire your research institute in Seontengjun, can you support me in producing a new family car with independent intellectual property rights?" Wu Zhi Xiaoji remembered Fan Wubing's instructions to him, so he asked.
Mori Teng Ichiro nodded vigorously and replied, "Mr. Wu Zhi, please rest assured! Even if I build a new factory, I am confident that I can produce my own family car within half a year, and it is a very advanced car!"
Wu Zhi Xiaoji felt a little relieved when he heard this promise from Teng Ichiro, so the two of them had a conversation while eating and agreed to the general intention at the banquet. Wu Zhi Xiaoji hoped that Teng Ichiro could come down to continue to preside over the leadership of the institute and prepare for the automobile manufacturing factory. He injected 100 million US dollars into the Teng Ichiro in exchange for a 95% share ratio.
Morito Ichiro was very happy. Unexpectedly, he solved the problem of insufficient funds in a short time. Although he changed from a boss to a small shareholder, the billion US dollars he introduced were enough to support the operation of the institute for several years. Some experiments that he did not dare to do easily due to funding bottlenecks in the past can also be done with confidence and boldness at this time.
After dinner, Mori Teng Ichiro invited Wu Zhixiaoji to visit his research institute. Wu Zhixiaoji was of course very willing.
Senten's research institute includes various departments such as power department, transmission department, appearance department and testing department. Among the many researchers he recruited, many of them have retired from technical research positions in major companies. Although these people are older, the experience accumulated over the years is beyond the ordinary people. Therefore, there are indeed many technologies in Senten's research institute that surpass the existing automobile manufacturing technology.
For most Japanese automobile manufacturing companies, their research direction is no longer traditional gasoline and diesel-powered cars, but is more about energy conservation and the utilization of new energy, such as electric vehicles, hydrogen-powered cars, and solar-powered cars. These projects are crucial for a small country like Japan that is scarce in energy.
The research direction of the Senten Research Institute is purely a relatively wealthy car enthusiast. The result of playing with many veterans engaged in automobile manufacturing and research will naturally not be valued by them.
But when Wu Zhi came to Senteng's research institute, he was moved by the scene here.
Senteng's research institute does not occupy a large area. It is a five-story building. The only larger one is a vehicle collision test site, which occupies most of the land on the first floor of the research institute. On this collision test site, the upper structure of the research institute is the upper floor. Most of the research rooms are on the second and third floors. As for the fourth floor, it is a rest place for the company's employees. The fifth floor is open to the outside world, operating some beverages and other food.
In fact, in Japan, there is a research institute dedicated to automobile collision testing experiments, which was jointly invested by major companies. This purpose is based on the Japanese's idea of carefully calculating and saving resources. Of course, there are also benefits to doing this. This test is relatively fair, and the safety performance of various models can be clearly presented to everyone, so that each company has a relatively open display of the safety performance of its new models.
However, Senten Research Institute is obviously not accepted by major companies, so they, like small-scale players, have developed a collision performance testing system to test their own company's prototype cars and other companies' cars for horizontal comparison.
