Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

In the first official meeting of Shirakawa Electric, the decision to upgrade the Blackstone phonograph was unanimously passed.

In addition, Bai Chuanfeng also plans to reorganize the technical department into a research and development department, led by Yasuda Masaaki, who will give people and money.

The role of the technical department in the past in the Blackstone record player was more like an after-sales maintenance department. The only thing that can be done is that it has two brushes in the mechanical design.

As for electronics, it is completely dependent on the overall procurement, and Yasuda can only deal with partial adjustments of the circuit. As for the deeper level of circuit solutions, Baichuan Electric has no such ability at all.

In the future, if Baichuanfeng intends to build Baichuan Electric into an enterprise with its own core competitiveness, then R\u0026D capabilities will be the top priority. What is the difference between no research and development capabilities and copycat workshops and OEM factories.

In addition, the framework of finance, personnel, and procurement must be set up as soon as possible, and this part of Komatsu assistants is urgently recruited. Although the company is small, it must have what it should have, so as not to be in a hurry in the future.

The first step for Shirakawa Electric is to change suppliers and restore the production of the original Blackstone record players.

Although it is not planned to use this brand again in the future, Bai Chuanfeng still needs it to maintain the operation of the factory.

And Bai Chuanfeng also discovered an embarrassing thing, that is, he has no money again.

35 million yen, it took 28 million to buy Watanabe Electric, and there are 7 million yen left. In addition, he has been picking up trash for more than a year and has several million dollars.

Now there are about 15 million yen in the account, which seems a lot.

However, the money will be used to maintain the daily operation of Baichuan Electric, material procurement, employee salaries, etc., and it must not be touched.

In 1979, the average annual salary of RB workers was about 2 million yen, and the average monthly salary was close to 200,000 yen.

Baichuan Electric currently employs nearly 30 people, and the salary alone is a fixed expenditure of about 6 million per month.

Therefore, he must ensure that Baichuan Electric will start to make a profit in the next few months, otherwise the monthly cost will drag him down.

In this way, alas, there is no money again.

To make money is still to make money, Bai Chuanfeng returned to the dormitory in Suginami District with such distress.

Just entered July, the summer vacation is about to begin. Saobao's Kiryu Shishiro has already started the annual summer vacation with his girlfriend ahead of schedule.

He came here today to find Dazhi Yamashita. Such a good automatic worker cannot waste resources.

The door of the dormitory was pushed open with a "click", and Yamashita Daiji, who was wearing only his underpants, was sitting cross-legged on the sofa with his arms lowered, lowering his head and fiddling with something.

"Hey..." Startled, Yamashita Daiji subconsciously covered his chest with his hands, and looked at the door in horror.

"Don't cover it, it's probably a cover." Bai Chuanfeng threw the backpack on the sofa. Pick up the cans on the table casually, bang, look up, tons, tons, tons~

Hearing this, Yamashita Daji's first reaction was to look down. Then he reacted again, "Baga~, you guys are really too much."

Bai Chuanfeng glanced at his white body, "Keep working hard and reach Size C as soon as possible."

"Hey, don't go too far," Yamashita Daji was furious.

Pa, Bai Chuanfeng took out a document and stuffed it directly into his arms. "Change the drawing, move the motor to the side of the table, and change it to a belt drive type. There is only one requirement, shock resistance, and reduce vibration interference."

Daiji Yamashita developed the blueprint in a daze. On it was a structural diagram of a record player, with densely packed dimensions marked around it.

"Vinyl record player?" Yamashita Daiji began to mutter various professional terms while looking at the drawings.

After watching it fascinated for five minutes, when he raised his head and saw the scene on the sofa, he was immediately outraged.

Bai Chuanfeng, who was still teasing him just now, has already collapsed on the sofa and is about to fall asleep.

Dazhi Yamashita put down the drawings, picked up the iced soda on the table and quietly moved to his side. He carefully lifted off Bai Chuanfeng's t-shirt, and then moved the can close to his belly with lightning speed.

"Hiss~ha~" A clever Bai Chuanfeng immediately jumped up, while Yamashita Dazhi beside him laughed.

"Bastard..." This guy's childish behavior made Bai Chuanfeng want to throw him downstairs naked.

In the past few days, because of Baichuan Electric's affairs, he was so busy that his feet didn't touch the floor, and he couldn't help dozing off when he sat down.

"Tell me, is there any problem?" Bai Chuanfeng rubbed his face, but he still didn't forget his business.

"Cough..." Yamashita Dazhi coughed reservedly, "Of course there is no problem, but..." He gave Bai Chuanfeng a look that you understand.

Yo, the fully automatic workers know how to ask.

Bai Chuanfeng rolled his eyes, "With your figure, you still want to be a racing gangster."

Daji Yamashita has a wide range of hobbies, including records, comics, stamps, and recently he is obsessed with Yamaha motorcycles. I really want to pay a lot of money to buy one, and then modify it myself.

"It's not necessarily about riding, I just want to try my own ideas." Yamashita Daiji said confidently.

"Okay, old rules, a noble Prince Shotoku."

"make a deal"

Although Yamashita Dazhi didn't know what Bai Chuanfeng was tossing about, he knew that Bai Chuanfeng had his own way, so he was not polite to him at all.

In fact, Bai Chuanfeng didn't have to deal with Yamashita, Masaaki Yasuda could handle this job in one night. The reason why he came to find Yamashita was that he hoped to train him more.

The current Shirakawa Electric is basically the old man of Watanabe Denki, although there is no problem in execution. But he still wants to train his team, especially the core positions.

He has a habit of thinking about bad situations first, just in case.

After tidying up the blueprints, Dazhi Yamashita was about to go back to his room for retreat. This is not a good place to work.

When he casually picked up a small blue machine, a light flashed in Bai Chuanfeng's mind.

"etc!"

"Hey" Yamashita Dazhi froze in place.

Bai Chuanfeng stepped forward quickly, and grabbed the figure in his memory.

Blue body, silver sides, and that iconic orange button. Small and stylish, Sony's first generation Walkman, TPS-L2!

"This is Sony's newly launched music player today. They call it the Walkman. I bought one because I thought it was interesting." Daiji Yamashita didn't understand why Bai Chuanfeng was so nervous about this product, but he still explained.

"How much?" Bai Chuanfeng turned the fuselage and caressed it obsessively.

"33,000 yen" has been with Bai Chuanfeng for a year, and Yamashita Daiji is considered to have a small savings, and he is a proper tall, rich and handsome among the students.

Hearing the price, Bai Chuanfeng sighed lightly. He raised his wrist and glanced at the time, July 1, 1979.

A great product came out today that changed the way people listen to music. In the past, I could only stay at home and listen to vinyl, but after today, I can go out of the house and go outdoors.

This is undoubtedly a revolutionary product, Sony Dafa, well-deserved reputation.

"Put on your clothes and follow me." Bai Chuanfeng put away the walkman, put on his backpack, and prepared to go out.

"Hey..." Yamashita Dazhi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly looked for clothes, "Where are you going? Shirakawa-kun."

"Go see if you can catch this revolutionary train from Sony," Bai Chuanfeng's voice came from far outside the door.
