Born in poverty, Shoichiro Honda showed a special preference for machinery from an early age. After graduating from high school, at the age of 16, despite his father's resolute opposition, he resolutely went to a garage in Tokyo as an apprentice. After six years as an apprentice, he returned to his hometown and opened an auto repair shop in Hamamatsu, which was named "Hamamatsu Branch of Technology Chamber of Commerce". However, with a far-sighted vision, Shoichiro Honda resolutely closed the garage when the business of the garage was very prosperous and prepared to engage in more creative manufacturing. 1934, Shoichiro Honda founded "Donghai Seiki Company". 1937, general manager of Donghai Seiki Industry Co., Ltd. "ァートピストンリング Institute" was established in Yamashita-CHO, Hamamatsu City to research and develop piston devices./kloc-
1944, Shoichiro Honda successfully developed the "automatic propeller cutting machine", which greatly improved the cutting efficiency and shortened the time for processing a propeller from one week to 15 minutes. His invention won 40 technical patents. However, the fate of a day is unpredictable. The following year, due to the Sanhe earthquake, the Hamamatsu factory of Donghai Seiki Heavy Industry went bankrupt. Honda transferred all the shares of Donghai Seiki Heavy Industry to Toyota Automatic Textile Machinery Co., Ltd., and announced that it would leave its job and start to recuperate 1 year. As an industrialist from a technician background, Shoichiro Honda not only has strong creative enthusiasm and ability, but also has extraordinary foresight and adventurous spirit. 1September, 1948, he personally presided over the development of "d" engines with two cylinders of 98 ml and 1.7 kW (2.3 horsepower), and based on this, he launched the "Honda-Dream D" motorcycle. 195 1 year also presided over the development of a four-stroke "e" engine and a better performance "Honda-Dream E" motorcycle. The sales of these two kinds of motorcycles are very successful, which has won profits for the company.
Because he knew that he was better at technology development than technology development and management, he took the initiative to contact Takeo Fujisawa. When Takeo Fujisawa joined Honda as the managing director in June of 1949+00, Tomichiro Fujisawa safely handed over all the real business power of the company to Takeo Fujisawa, but he only immersed himself in technology development and constantly produced advanced and marketable products. After decades of cooperation, Honda has grown and become a world-famous multinational group.
1952, Honda introduced equipment worth 450 million yen from the United States, Germany, Switzerland and other places and put it into production. Due to the comprehensive effect of advanced processing equipment and other factors, Honda products have always maintained high quality and best-selling, and stood firm in the fierce market competition. In the fierce market competition, Honda has always maintained the true color of the winner. 199 1 On August 5, 2008, Shoichiro Honda died at Shuntian Hospital in Tokyo at the age of 84 years and 8 months. Won the first class medal of the rising sun with three honors.
