Xiang Guangda

• ... that after a trip to Germany, Xiang Guangda decided to shift from making car doors to making stainless steel? Source: Financial Times: "In an interview with a local broadcaster in 2015, Xiang recalled a revelation he had during a business trip to Germany in 1992: BMW and Mercedes-Benz didn’t outsource their doors and windows — they made their own. The factory back home could not last. With the clock ticking, he pivoted to stainless steel, where he saw an opportunity for domestic producers to wean China off its dependence on imported metal."
