Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

When Osone Kozo arrived at Norio Oga's office, he met an unexpected person, Heitaro Nakajima.

"What a coincidence, Nakajima-san is also here." Osone Kozo put aside the surprise in his heart, and greeted calmly.

Heitaro Nakajima, who was giving a report, also showed a bit of embarrassment on his face when he met Kozo Osone here.

But soon this uneasiness was suppressed by him again, "Come here today to report the latest development progress of the CD to Osone-san, and Osone-san will visit later."

Nakajima Heitaro's research institute is under the business department of Osone Kozo, although the two have similar ranks.

But now that he appeared in Oga Norio's office, he was already suspected of leapfrogging the report.

This is why Nakajima Heitaro was a little embarrassed just now. As for what Osone Kozo would think, it's hard to say.

"Okay, Nakajima-san came here to report on the progress of CD development at my request." Norio Oga, who knew that the situation below was not harmonious, smoothed things over in time.

With the development and growth of Sony, not only the functions of the major departments overlap, but also the personnel team has a trace of bloated signs.

Norio Ohga knew all this well, but there were too many veterans and factions in the company, and it couldn't be resolved in a day or two.

"Osone-san, are you here for Shirakawa Electric?"

Hearing Norio Oga's question, Kozo Osone nodded awkwardly, "I'm sorry to disappoint Oga-san."

Norio Oga waved his hand, he was not surprised by this result.

Since the other party dared to launch the Walkman project without any scruples, and had done so many tricks on the patent, how could he let it go so easily.

"Don't worry about Osone-san, if this is the case, let's negotiate with the other party as soon as possible.

The board of directors decided that Walkman's first batch of overseas market development will be in the United States and Britain, which is the top priority.

The implementation of overseas expansion plans must not be affected by other things, understand? "

"Hay!" Osone Kozo bowed his head respectfully and agreed.

Heitaro Nakajima, who was sitting next to him, kept watching his nose, nose, nose, nose, nose and heart secretly eating melons. Fortunately, he was smart at the beginning and threw away this hot potato in time.

Thinking about it now, it was a wise decision.

"I heard that Nakajima-san is the senior brother of Shirakawa Electric's president, Shirakawa Kaede, so why don't Nakajima-san come out during the acquisition negotiations.

Maybe the other party will readily agree to our acquisition for the sake of the friendship of the same family. "

Nakajima Heitaro, who was eating melon, was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly looked up, and saw Osone Kozo who was opposite him smiling at him.

And Norio Oga beside him also showed an inquiring look, and Heitaro Nakajima felt a chill in his heart.

"Osone-san was joking, I am not familiar with the other party, let alone have any connection."

"But I heard that Nakajima-san was handling the matter of Shirakawa Electric in the first place, and the senior management didn't receive the relevant news until after the year."

Nakajima Heitaro's face changed suddenly, "Osone-san!..."

"Okay!" Norio Oga interrupted their dispute by raising his hand, "Let's ask Osone-san to deal with this matter. As for Nakajima-san, the development of CDs must not be missed."

"Hay!" Osone Kozo and Nakajima Heitaro both bowed their heads in response.

When the topic got to this point, Norio Ohga had no interest in letting them continue talking.

After waving the two away, they began to think about Sony's follow-up digital strategy.

Outside the door, Osone Kozo and Nakajima Heitaro looked at each other coldly.

The superior-subordinate relationship that was originally maintained on the surface is now more like a window paper that has been pierced, and it completely ceases to exist.

But in the end, the two of them didn't say anything, and they passed by with cold faces without saying a word.

…

Shirakawa Electric.

Three weeks have passed since the first note with Sony.

Except for the first two weeks because of Sony's channel blockade, Shirakawa Electric's flashman distribution encountered some difficulties.

In the next week, because of the joining of Keio Department Store and Tokyu Department Store, the so-called blockade was naturally broken.

Recently, because I saw flashman on shelves in other department stores, it attracted some buyers.

Because of the lure of profits, the original electrical retail stores began to sneakily put flashman on the shelves again.

But it's just sneaky, and the billboard outside doesn't mention anything related to flashman.

Today Bai Chuanfeng was sitting in the office, looking at the report in his hand with a happy smile.

As for what's so exciting, without it, Flashman's first month sales are out.

Counting more than 9,000 units during the Christmas period, since the release of flashman, Shirakawa Electric has shipped a total of 110,000 units.

If it weren't for Sony's intervention in the middle half of the month, this number would be even higher.

But in the future, there is no need to worry about being stuck in the channel. Bai Chuanfeng believes that the sales volume next month will only be high but not low.

When the matter with Sony comes to an end this time, Bai Chuanfeng plans to give Sony a ruthless fight for sales in the market alone.

But these things will be discussed later, right now, there are more joyful things.

The payment for 110,000 units of flashman and 160,000 pairs of headphones has already arrived.

After deducting 10%-15% of the channel share and operating costs, Shirakawa Electric received a one-time payment of 2.3 billion yen.

Although management costs, materials and labor have to be removed, the net profit is only more than 700 million yuan, but the funds that Shirakawa Electric can use at this time have reached 1.8 billion yen.

A wave of fat, really a wave of fat.

Even if the final payment for the previous materials is settled at one time, the rest is still a huge sum of money.

With so much money, Bai Chuanfeng's first thought was to spend it.

Although theoretically speaking, Baichuan Electric is now his sole proprietorship.

A large part of this money can also be allocated to his pocket, but the super high personal progressive tax still made Bai Chuanfeng give up this idea.

Spend the money so that when you calculate your corporate tax next year, the corresponding investment portion will be deducted.

It would be wisest to start retaxing the remaining surplus.

As for what Baichuan Electric needs to spend money on now, that's too much.

There are currently only three production lines for Walkmans. With the gradual opening of the market, this production capacity will definitely not be able to meet the huge market demand.

Not to mention the overseas market in the future, but the current territory of Baichuan Electric has expanded to the limit.

In the existing factory area, at most one more production line will be plugged in, and the site will be fully filled.

If you want to continue to expand production capacity, you can only think of other ways.

Re-planning the factory area will be an inevitable choice, and the place must be large enough, preferably around Tokyo.

If the above conditions are to be met, there are not many places to choose from.

Bai Chuanfeng raised his head and cast his eyes on Kawasaki City across the Tama River.

But these are not urgent for the time being, but when the land planning is mentioned, Bai Chuanfeng has the idea of ​​buying land again.

Where to buy, it should be within the scope of Tokyo.

It's been a few years since the bubble, so it's not too much to buy a few houses. He doesn't know anything else, he can make a fortune no matter what he does.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't get on the line of the real estate company, he would be a little more courageous.

But buying residential land is secondary. What he really wants to buy is the land for the future headquarters of Baichuan Electric.

That will be a huge sum of money, because as the headquarters site, both the location and the area of ​​the site need to be carefully selected.

There are rows of noodles and it is big enough, you don't even need to think about it, you need to spend a lot of money.

Maybe you can't afford it now, but you can still choose the land of Baichuan Research Institute.

That's right, Bai Chuanfeng wants to separate the research institute, or simply set up a subsidiary company to be responsible for the research and development of high-tech.

It is definitely not suitable here in Ota District, firstly because there is no space, and secondly because the work of the research institute no longer uses the factory equipment.

Advanced instruments must be purchased separately to support the research and development work.

So it is the best choice to pick a new place and move the research institute directly there.

"President, here we go again, here we go again!"

Just when Bai Chuanfeng was thinking about how to spend the money, Hasegawa's familiar voice came from afar again.

After running outside for more than 20 days, the channels in major cities have basically been opened up, and the remaining details can be left to the people below.

And Hasegawa himself has returned to Baichuan Electric in these two days.

"Sony?" This time, Bai Chuanfeng didn't need to guess what was the reason.

"The President is really clever, Sony's second note is here again!"

Unlike the first time when he was uneasy, this time Hasegawa's confidence is full.

Want to get stuck in our distribution channels? Sorry, we have already cleared the country.

Seeing Hasegawa's confident look, Bai Chuanfeng was a little amused.

But this is indeed something to be proud of. It must be difficult for Sony to handle them this time.

Looking at the note in his hand, Bai Chuanfeng let out a breath.

Anyway, this matter should come to an end.
