Chapter 405: Deadly Airbag!
Li Jianfeng saw the smile on Yang Jie's face, and he was also extremely emotional, but a huge crisis in Zhongyuan Automobile Company turned Yang Shao into a wonderful opportunity in an instant, and he also admired this determination and wisdom.
"Then we will not only invite a lawyer group this time, but also a super luxurious lawyer team!" the uncle said with a smile.
"Since everyone agrees, let's do it!" Yang Jie said with a resolute face.
At the end of April, Yang Jie appeared at one of Douglas's estates in Georgia, which was more than 1,000 acres full of amenities, including stables and even a dart range.
At this time, Mr. Douglas was riding on a black shiny horse, Yang Jie was also riding on another horse at this time, and Natasha was riding a horse behind at this time, walking slowly behind.
At this time, she wore an equestrian outfit to show off her graceful figure.
"Mr. Douglas, thank you very much for helping us get a luxurious team of lawyers. Yang Jie said to Douglas with a smile.
Ford helped Zhongyuan Automobile Company form an ultra-luxurious team of lawyers, with dozens of members, including several well-known barristers in the United States.
This team of lawyers covers many areas of law, and all of them are experienced, but the cost of hiring such a team of lawyers is naturally very expensive, and more than $100,000 a day is paid for these legal teams.
The group formally filed defamation lawsuits in New York state courts against the New York Times, The Washington Post, and several other major media outlets.
Ford and Warner also used their strong influence in the United States to make many TV stations and newspapers begin to report on the indictment.
"Mr. Yang, winning this case is also good for us at Ford, and I'm already starting to get the Automotive Trade Policy Committee to communicate with Secretary Schleier that we will adjust Japan's auto trade policy next month. Douglas said.
"Japanese auto companies have been operating in the U.S. for so many years, and now they are a serious threat to the U.S. auto industry?" Yang Jie said, looking at Douglas.
"Yes, the three U.S. auto groups, including Ford, are in a difficult situation, and I hope that the Automotive Technology R&D Center, in which we both hold shares, can also start research and development of fuel cell vehicles immediately. ”
Douglas looked at Yang Jie and said, "The fuel cell bus you developed with Scania will be launched at the end of this year, right?"
"Haha, to be honest, I didn't expect us to make such a quick progress. Yang Jie said with a smile.
In almost a year, Huaxing Group has solved the technical problems of system control through the project of providing fuel cell power packages to the military, which makes the research and development project of fuel cell buses progress very fast, and the prototype of fuel cell buses came out at the end of last year and is undergoing various tests.
Although Ford does not know the specific technical details, there is no way to hide the progress of the fuel cell bus prototype.
"Mr. Doug, Wider Automotive Group has been developing fuel cell technology before, and your company is also cooperating with Ballard Power Systems of Canada on fuel cell technology, why do you want to cooperate with his company?"
Natasha rode to Yang Jie's side at this time and said with a smile to Douglas.
"Truth be told, Ballard Power Systems still has a long way to go to commercialize fuel cells, and their technology is still far from your boyfriend's Huaxing fuel cell technology, even though the company has been developing fuel cells for more than a decade, but their progress is too slow. ”
Yang Jie knew that Ford Group also formed a joint venture with Ballard many years later, and also got involved in the field of fuel cell technology, but it was also because of the slow progress that the joint venture was closed.
As a reborn, Yang Jie put forward the fuel cell technology solutions of later generations and solved a series of major technical problems in advance, and Ford naturally saw huge commercial benefits.
Yang Jie glanced at Natasha and said to Douglas with a smile: "Mr. Doug, I personally welcome Ford's entry into the fuel cell car market. ”
He paused and said, "One thing Natasha told me the other day made me very concerned. ”
"What is Miss Natasha talking about?" Douglas swept his eyes over Yang Jie and Natasha's faces.
"In March of this year, an 18-year-old girl in Tennessee, Parame, was driving a Honda Accord produced the year before to pick up her younger brother from school, and the car collided with another car in the school parking lot. After the Honda Accord airbag deployed, the girl was cut by a metal piece popping out of the airbag and suffered from blood loss. ”
Natasha said.
"After hearing this, I was also a little concerned, so I asked someone to find the girl's family, and I also got a report from the U.S. Highway Traffic Safety Administration, confirming that the airbags used on this Honda Accord are produced by the Japanese Takata Group Corporation. The company's airbags are fatally dangerous because they provide airbags that store propellants without moisture, which can cause the disc packs to break after many years, and some of the discs are packed together at too low pressure. This little girl in Paramee died of excessive blood loss due to the broken inflatable component of the problematic airbag, which was cut by metal shards and caused excessive blood loss in the carotid artery. ”
"Takata is now the world's second-largest manufacturer of automotive safety components, and the vast majority of Japanese automakers use their products, and I'm not sure how many of these automakers use these problematic airbags, and I don't know if Ford uses their products, but I think it's still necessary to let Mr. Douglas know about it," Yang said. In addition, for the sake of the safety of many car users, I am also ready to let more people in the world know about this, I wonder what Mr. Douglas thinks?"
"Although we at Ford only use Takata airbags in a small number of vehicles, Mr. Yang is right, we should let more people know that Takata airbags are fatally dangerous. ”
Douglas said with excitement in his eyes.
When Yang Jie saw his expression, his heart was also ecstatic, and then he exchanged glances with Natasha, and her eyes were also full of excitement.
As early as before, Yang Jie asked Natasha and the personnel of the company here to collect information about airbags from Takata Group Company, but he didn't expect that this year there was a death of Parame by Takata airbags, which is equivalent to providing Yang Jie with powerful firepower.
In May, a monstrous frenzy secretly set off by Huaxing Group and Ford Group swept over these many Japanese car dealers.
Under the many media reports, the product quality problems of Takata Airbag Company were exposed to all the people in the world, and Quantum Network Company also followed up and reported on this matter in China for the first time.
Takata Group also worked hard to carry out public relations, but how could Ford miss this good opportunity to hit the Japanese car camp hard.
Various U.S. departments have also launched various investigations into the Takata Group.
Most of the Japanese automakers use airbags made by Takata Airbag Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and almost all Japanese cars sold in Huaxia have fallen.
Jiefang Automobile Company was also indifferent to this at the beginning, where would Yang Jie let it go, and many domestic media scolded Jiefang Automobile Company, forcing Xu Jianxun to hold a press conference to recall the problematic joint venture vehicles.
At the same time, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce sent an investigation team to start spot checks on Japanese cars on the market, and at the same time stopped the sales of Japanese cars.
In the face of such a massive public opinion offensive, these Japanese cars have fallen into a crisis of confidence.
At this time, the initiator of this incident came to Song Manli's residence in Valais, Switzerland.
Yang Jie saw that his son in the crib was already asleep at this time, so he cautiously came to Song Manli's side.
