Chapter 39 The opponent surrendered before I even made a move

Ota Ward is the westernmost ward among Tokyo's 23 wards and the only one among the 23 wards that has a large number of industrial clusters.

Ota City, Kawasaki City, and Yokohama City, surrounding Tokyo Bay, form the core of the Keihin Industrial Belt.

After the war, RB's economy developed rapidly, and the manufacturing industry based on the Keihin Industrial Belt industrial cluster made an indelible contribution to this.

Therefore, there are a large number of manufacturing companies in Ota City. However, with the continuous expansion of the Tokyo metropolitan area in recent years, the government is organizing intensive industries to gradually evacuate to the periphery.

On the one hand, it optimizes the industrial structure of Tokyo, and on the other hand, it promotes the urbanization of central cities and reduces the population siphon of Tokyo metropolitan area.

Nowadays, those remaining in Ota District are basically small and medium-sized precision enterprises, focusing on design and R&D.

Of course, there are also those family-style workshops that have been here for generations and have been operating for several generations.

Today, it is also the first time for Shirakawa Kaede and Torataro to come to Ota District. They are in suits and leather shoes, holding briefcases in hand, and they look like businessmen.

In order to appear more mature, Shirakawa Kaede even had a sleek hairdo.

"Xiao Feng..." Torataro was wearing a suit for the first time, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

In his simple mind, record players can be regarded as electronic products. Shouldn't the place where they are produced be lined with rows of machines and workers? The entire factory is spacious, clean and bright.

Bai Chuanfeng exchanged business cards with him and exchanged pleasantries.

The whole place is not big, about two to three hundred square meters. It is divided into different areas. Except for the base shell of the record player, which is processed by the machine tools at the door, some other parts should be purchased directly.

Hearing that there was something going on, Issei Watanabe became even more excited, "Don't worry, Shirakawa-san. Although our Blackstone is not as good as Hitachi and Panasonic, we have been making record players for many years. There is absolutely no problem with our reputation among old customers."

"Don't worry about it. If you are unemployed, you will be unemployed. You can't find a job now. Just work for one day."

The other workers in the factory looked at Shirakawa Kaede and the others with their eyes. Some people lowered their heads and whispered, "It's not the bank that's asking for debt, right? I heard that President Watanabe just got a loan some time ago?"

The place is too small, there are too few people, and the efficiency is too low. It is indeed a family-style workshop, and most of the processes are manual. It would be damned if it can be done quickly.

Bai Chuanfeng nodded with satisfaction, and then began to move towards the destination. "It doesn't matter what the name is, what matters is how you say it."

Under his enthusiastic leadership, Shirakawa Kaede and the others were introduced to the conference room upstairs.

"Oh, President Shirakawa. Are we going to come directly to your door? In what name?" Torataro asked seriously, resisting the discomfort in his neck caused by his tie.

The middle-aged man went to inform the president that Shirakawa Kaede and the others were left without anyone to care about them again.

Although he was full of doubts, he nodded to show that he understood. Forget it, let the young President Watanabe decide the specific matters, and he was too lazy to take care of it.

After a while, the two of them found the destination of their trip, "Watanabe Electric Manufacturing Co., Ltd." near the Tama River.

Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Shirakawa Kaede asked without changing his expression, "President Watanabe, you might as well explain it in detail."

Issei Watanabe checked that no one was outside and closed the door. He turned around and immediately greeted him warmly, "Shirakawa-san, you want to come to discuss cooperation, right? Be it a shareholding or an acquisition? Don't worry, the price is negotiable. How about 20 million?"

He raised two fingers and looked at Bai Chuanfeng expectantly.

With a perm, a big gold watch, and an open white suit, he looks like a proper fashionable man.

Ah? Bai Chuanfeng was stunned. He hadn't even made a move yet. Why did the other party surrender?

Bai Chuanfeng complained in his heart, but his face showed a look of listening attentively.

"Cooperation?" The middle-aged man with a somewhat old-fashioned look almost thought he heard wrongly. In this situation, would anyone still want to talk about cooperation?

He glanced at Shirakawa Kaede and Torataro suspiciously. One had a warm smile, the other had an expressionless face.

Although she had expected it, Shirakawa Kaede almost turned around and left. This place was such a shabby place, even those who said it was a garbage collector would probably believe it.

"Very good..." After holding it in for a long time, Bai Chuanfeng could only say this. But he felt more confident.

As for Torataro, he looked at Shirakawa Kaede with admiring eyes, "It's amazing. This business is almost done without opening a word."

At this moment, a young man dressed very fashionably came over with a smile on his face.

He didn't hear any complaints from the workers, nor was he annoyed that no one was there to receive him. Instead, Shirakawa Kaede visited the production here with great interest.

At this time, someone finally noticed this pair of uninvited guests. A middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader came over and looked at Bai Chuanfeng and the others with wary eyes. "What do you two do for a living?"

The name sounds deceptive, but the place is actually very shabby.

It is said that it is a company factory. The low factory shed looks rusty, and there are all kinds of materials and garbage piled near the entrance.

This is more like an assembly factory, where parts from different manufacturers are assembled into vinyl record players.

The two of them looked outside for a long time, but there was no one to greet them.

Shirakawa Kaede took a quick look and realized that this process should be the base of the record player.

"President Watanabe, you're welcome."

It's just that the scale is much smaller. According to this efficiency, it would be good to produce dozens of units a day.

"Who knows, maybe we will be unemployed soon. I heard that there have been a lot more complaints about our Blackstone record player recently."

"Had it not been for the recent plan to transform into other industries, I would never have considered selling Blackstone record players." After saying this, Watanabe Issei looked like he had gotten a big deal.

"Ahem~" Shirakawa Kaede carried a black briefcase, straightened his tie, and then glanced sideways at Torataro.

"Shirakawa-san, right? I am the president of Watanabe Electric, Issei Watanabe. Please take care of me."

This is a complete family-style workshop. Bai Chuanfeng even suspected that this factory was older than his grandfather, if he had one.

"Oh" Shirakawa Kaede took out the business card he had prepared from his arms and handed it over with both hands, "We are Shirakawa Electric Co., Ltd., and we are here today to discuss cooperation with your company."

Are you the only one who has good reputation? There is absolutely no problem? Believe it or not, if you were to be brought in front of someone who recently bought your record player, they would cut you off.

Ah, Torataro finally rubbed his uncomfortable neck. He made up his mind not to say a word for a while, and just watched Xiaofeng pretend to... perform.

This young president, Sang, doesn't dress like a president at all, but more like a recreational young man who just came out of the dance floor.

"Oh no."

Even the handwriting on the sign hanging on the wall is almost blurred.

"Xiao Feng, did we really find the right place?" Even Torataro was so surprised that he forgot to call President Shirakawa.

As soon as you enter, the first thing that hits your ears is the sound of several machine tools working. Because they are cutting acrylic sheets, there is no harsh sound like cutting metal, and the whole environment is relatively quiet.

There was no way, you couldn't give up halfway when you came. Bite the bullet, Shirakawa Kaede could only take Torataro into the factory door.

Shirakawa Kaede considered it carefully for a while, and then he said cautiously, "President Watanabe, is your company really planning to sell Blackstone record players?"

"Of course, I can decide everything here." Issei Watanabe assured, patting his chest.

"He can't make the decision, and the Blackstone record player won't be sold!"

A sudden sound came from outside the door, accompanied by two coughs.
