Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

After talking to Toshihiro Tajima on the phone, Shirakawa Kaede was ready to go to Subaru to have a look.

The contract has been signed and the agreement is being implemented. His status as the big boss behind the scenes can be considered solid.

Thinking like this, Bai Chuanfeng felt a lot happier unconsciously.

"Dong dong dong~" There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in~" Bai Chuanfeng, who was in a very good mood, said in a brisk tone.

Click, the person who pushed the door open was none other than Sachiko Kamaiike, who was carrying coffee.

"Shirakawa-san" put the coffee in front of him, and Kamachi Sachiko quietly stepped aside.

"Thank you~" Baichuan Feng happily picked up the coffee and took a sip.

When he raised his eyes, he saw Sachiko Kamaiike, who was dressed in OL outfit and had already walked to the desk to sort out the documents for him.

Her long hair was simply tied up, and she was wearing slim-fitting clothes. The light from the window filtered through her thin bangs, leaving a shadow on the side of her face.

Just standing there, that demure temperament is invisibly infecting others.

At this moment, Bai Chuanfeng couldn't help but imagine what she would look like wearing a shirt and regular clothes.

Is it still like in the memory, with the clear spring flowing and the gentle breeze blowing on my face?

"Sachiko, do you like music?" After thinking about it, Shirakawa Kaede couldn't help but express his inner thoughts.

"Eh?" Sachiko Kamachi, who was organizing her desk, turned her head in surprise.

Because she has been Shirakawa Kaede's assistant for almost a year, after getting to know each other, Shirakawa Kaede usually calls her Sachiko directly.

However, what surprised her was not this, but Bai Chuanfeng asking her if she liked music.

This is a somewhat personal question and may not be asked among friends.

But after being slightly surprised, Kamai Sachiko nodded slightly, "I guess I like it. Music always makes people forget their worries."

Bai Chuanfeng was not surprised by her answer. At least after work breaks, he saw Sachiko Kamaichi listening to music with headphones more than once.

Oh, by the way, the CD player she uses to listen to music is made by Shirakawa~

It seems that although the experience has changed, some things are still imprinted in my bones.

"What about your current job? Do you like it?"

Kamai Sachiko stopped what she was doing, tilted her head and thought carefully, "I guess I like it~"

Bai Chuanfeng smiled and said, "What a happy answer. It seems that being my assistant is not a bad thing."

Hearing his slightly teasing words, Kamai Sachiko also had a smile on her face, "No~".

"Ha~" Bai Chuanfeng chuckled. There was also a little naughty in her character.

"So, have you ever considered joining the music career in the future?"

"Eh?" This time, Kamachi Sachiko's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

A career in music? This was a path she had never imagined.

Although she loves listening to music, she imitated the group Pink Loday when she was very young.

I also joked with my classmates that I wanted to be a singer in the future, and even actively participated in the school's guitar club.

But since graduating from junior high school and entering the formal workforce, my childhood dream seems to be getting further and further away from me.

Now Bai Chuanfeng's words brought her back to the ignorant days of her childhood.

Seeing that she was slightly distracted, Bai Chuanfeng did not disturb her. It was not until she looked at him again that Bai Chuanfeng slowly spoke.

“As a human being, you should do something you like at least once in your life.

Maybe it was a childhood dream, maybe it was a joke from the past.

But as long as you work hard towards that goal, no matter what the result is, I believe there will be moments full of joy in the process.

If deep down it never goes away, then give it a try. "

As he spoke, Bai Chuanfeng found a business card from the drawer of his desk and handed it to her.

"Oda Tetsuro, a very talented composer, is currently serving as the producer of pop music under SAOND Records.

I've already said hello to him. If you want to give it a try, Sachiko, go find him. "

After receiving the business card handed over by Shirakawa Kaede, Kamachi Sachiko was stunned.

All this happened so suddenly, she was completely unprepared.

"Of course I'm not chasing you away, Sachiko, I just want to see you standing on the stage singing."

Shirakawa Kaede's vague voice came into her mind, making Sachiko Kamaichi's chaotic mind jump even more.

Since Shirakawa Holdings and Fuji Heavy Industries jointly issued the announcement, the already noisy business district in Neon has become even more excited.

Has Shirakawa Holdings entered heavy industry? Is the sky-high acquisition price of US$9.2 billion real?

With the support of a chaebol with astonishing financial resources like Shirakawa Holdings, will Fuji Heavy be able to get out of the shadow of continuous losses?

And President Toshihiro Tajima, who resigned in a hurry, what does he have to do with this transaction? Are you keeping the truth about embezzlement of public funds?

In addition, Fuji Heavy Industries changed its name to Subaru, which also aroused heated discussion among everyone.

Because there are too many hot topics in the news, since the two companies issued announcements.

Continuous reports in the media have almost occupied more than half of the neon front-page news recently.

And because of more media participation, more detailed transaction details have also been dug out.

For example, the US$9.2 billion is indeed real, and even the investment by Baichuan Holdings is basically paid in cash.

Also, the name of the new club "Subaru" was decided by Shirakawa-san himself, because he himself is a car fan.

According to rumors, Subaru has changed its tune and has prepared a series of innovation plans with the goal of solving Subaru's loss problem within a year.

There is no doubt that any piece of news is enough for everyone to discuss for a long time.

This is not just a matter of business circles, even ordinary people are very interested.

After all, the legendary Shirakawa Maple-mulberry has its own traffic. Subaru, as a civilian automobile company, is also closely related to everyone's lives.

But the most eye-catching one is Shirakawa Holdings’ $9.2 billion investment in Subaru.

9.2 billion US dollars~, cash!

This number, not to mention the general public, even the six major chaebols, raised eyebrows.

Everyone may have countless assets, but it is not easy to come up with so much cash at one time.

But it’s remarkable that Shirakawa Holdings can do it without seeming to have any trouble.

It can also be seen from this incident that Baichuan Holdings has strong financial resources.

And because of this sky-high acquisition fee, even Subaru's stock, which has been half-dead in the stock market, began to rise significantly.

Because the market believes that with the support of a large consortium like Shirakawa Holdings, Subaru will not have to worry about bankruptcy no matter how bad things happen.

There is also the Subaru revitalization plan of more than 200 billion yen. Everyone thinks that if so much money is spent, Subaru will have obvious improvement in the future.

Look, this is the stock market. It doesn't matter whether the company is profitable now or not. What matters is what is its future? Is there any foreign aid?

After Fuji Heavy Industries changed its name to Subaru, people are looking forward to its subsequent performance in the market.

Everyone is already familiar with the name "Subaru". After all, the previous Subaru car series is quite well-known in Neon.

However, Subaru's revitalization plan has not yet been announced to the public. Shirakawa Holdings is negotiating with Subaru on this point.

Isn't it that Shirakawa Kaede personally came to Shinjuku today just to talk about this matter?

Fuji Heavy Industries was originally located in the "Cube Building" headquarters at the entrance of Shinjuku Nishi Station. At this time, the top logo has been replaced by "SUBARU".

Not to mention that such a foreign name may seem more suitable for neon at this time. After all, foreign luxury goods are now popular, and an all-English logo is more conducive to the spread of corporate names.

Entering the interior of the Subaru Building, Takao Nakamura, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately hurried forward to greet him.

"Shirakawa-san, please make a special trip."

"Don't worry about these little things." Bai Chuanfeng waved his hand, eliminating everyone's meaningless politeness.

Behind Takao Nakamura stood a large group of Subaru's technical team and management.

Baichuan Feng also has a group of people around him. Some of them are people from Baichuan Holdings, and some are experts from various fields in the university.

They came to the Subaru Building today to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of Subaru's existing technology.

Although I spent money to buy it, the problem of losses does exist.

Therefore, regarding Subaru's subsequent business issues, both parties need to brainstorm and make targeted plans.

"Nakamura-san, Subaru, let's talk about the automobile division first. It is our core business, and we will give priority to it when necessary."

"Hai!" Nakamura Takao immediately nodded in agreement.

To be honest, Nakamura Takao can serve as the president of Subaru because Shirakawa Kaede personally gave the order.

But he himself has always been frightened, because Nakamura Takao was only the director of the planning department before, and even worked in the technical department earlier.

Takao Nakamura actually always had some doubts about his ability to become the president of Subaru.

But since the opportunity is in front of you, there is no reason not to seize it.

After sorting out his thoughts for a while, Nakamura Takao led Shirakawa Kaede and his team towards Subaru's technical department.

As a heavy industry company, especially a business department such as automobiles, of course everything you can see is in the technical department.

“Subaru first entered the automobile manufacturing industry in 1954, with the Subaru 1500, but the model that really made Subaru famous was the Subaru 360.

As of 1970, a total of 400,000 units of this model had been sold, making it a national car among light vehicles. "

Speaking of this, Takao Nakamura is also a little proud. This is the first time Subaru has made its name.

In the car museum outside the technical department, there is a Subaru 360.

Looking at the shape alone, it is very similar to the Beetle, with a round and compact appearance.

From the perspective of Shirakawa Kaede's later generations, this is also a car with online aesthetics.

And I don’t know if it’s his illusion, but he always feels that the Subaru 360 is somewhat similar to the later Chinese Euler Cat series.

Gee, such a light car should be very suitable for women to drive.

“Beginning in 1966, Subaru began mass production of four-wheel drive vehicles and boxer engine systems.

The horizontally opposed engine is different from ordinary inline and V-type engines. Because of the horizontal placement and small size.

Models using this kind of engine have a low center of gravity, stable structure, low body resistance, and greatly reduced vibration and noise.

This kind of car has good driving control and strong power.

The complementary left and right symmetrical full-time four-wheel drive system further increases the vehicle's driving stability.

Due to the cooperation of the horizontally opposed engine and the full-time four-wheel drive system, the vehicle's driving safety and stability are greatly increased on diverse and complex road conditions such as snowy roads, muddy roads, rugged mountain roads, wet roads and highways. "

These two are Subaru's real black technologies, and they are even things that other OEMs can't do even if they want to.

There is no doubt that when they are mentioned, not only Takao Nakamura, but also all the Subaru technicians behind him show proud expressions.

As a car manufacturer, how can we do without our own two brushes?

Shirakawa Kaede is also satisfied with Subaru's accumulation of technology, but there are some things he needs to understand in advance.
