Chapter 60: A Generation of Legends
Chapter 60 A Legend of a Generation
Shirakawa Electric's first official meeting, in addition to unanimously passing the decision to upgrade the Blackstone record player.
In addition, Shirakawa Kaede also plans to reorganize the technical department into a research and development department, led by Masaaki Yasuda, who will give people money when they ask for it, and give money when they ask for money.
The previous technical department's role in Blackstone turntables was more like an after-sales maintenance department. The only thing it could do well was to have two brushes in mechanical design.
As for the electronics sector, which relies entirely on overall procurement, Yasuda can only handle partial adjustments to circuits. As for deeper circuit solutions, Shirakawa Electric has no ability to do so.
In the future, if Shirakawa Kaede plans to build Shirakawa Electric into a company with its own core competitiveness, then R&D capabilities will be the top priority. What is the difference between having no R&D capabilities and copycat workshops and OEM factories?
In addition, the financial, human resources, and purchasing frameworks must be set up as soon as possible. These Komatsu assistants are urgently recruiting. Although the company is small, it must have what it needs to avoid being in a hurry later.
The first step for Shirakawa Electric is to change suppliers and resume production of the original Blackstone record players.
Although he does not plan to use this brand again in the future, Shirakawa Kaede still needs it to maintain the operation of the factory.
Moreover, Bai Chuanfeng also discovered an embarrassing thing, that is, he had no money again.
Yamashita Daiji put down the drawings, picked up the ice-cold soda on the table and quietly approached him. He carefully lifted up Shirakawa Kaede's shirt, and then, with lightning speed, he put the can close to his belly.
"make a deal"
There are still about 15 million yen in the account now, which seems like a lot. But don't forget, he will have to pay 9 million yen in personal income tax at the end of the year.
This is undoubtedly a revolutionary product, Sony Dafa lives up to its reputation.
"I don't necessarily want to ride, I just want to try my own ideas." Yamashita Daiji said confidently.
He came here today to find Daiji Yamashita. Such a good fully automatic worker cannot waste resources.
He has a habit of thinking about bad situations first, just in case.
"Asshole", this guy's childish behavior made Shirakawa Kaede so angry that he wanted to throw him naked downstairs.
Blue body, silver sides, and the iconic orange buttons. Small and stylish, Sony’s first-generation Walkman, TPS-L2!
"Hey, don't go too far," Yamashita Oji said angrily.
"33,000 yen" has been hanging out with Shirakawa Kaede for a year. Yamashita Daiji has a small amount of savings, and he is considered a rich and handsome man among students.
Yamashita Daiharu has a wide range of hobbies, including records, comics, stamps, and recently he is obsessed with Yamaha motorcycles. He really wants to spend some money to buy one and then modify it himself.
"Hey" Yamashita Oji was stunned on the spot.
After thinking about it this way, alas, I have no money again.
July has just entered, and the summer vacation is about to begin. The slutty Kiryu Juichiro has already started his annual summer vacation with his girlfriend in advance.
He watched in fascination for five minutes. When he raised his head and saw the scene on the sofa, he was immediately furious.
"Don't cover it, it's probably an A-cup cover." Bai Chuanfeng threw the backpack on the sofa. He picked up the can on the table, bang, raised his head, ton ton ton~
Hearing this, Yamashita Daiji's first reaction was to look down. Then he reacted, "Baga~, you are really too much."
Oh, fully automatic workers know how to make demands.
The remaining millions are used to maintain Shirakawa Electric's daily operations, material procurement, employee salaries, etc. This part of the money must not be touched.
Today a great product has come out, which has changed people's habits of listening 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.
Yamashita Daharu unfolded the drawing in a daze. It showed the structural diagram of a record player, with dense dimensions marked around it.
It cost 35 million yen. It cost 28 million to buy Watanabe Electric, and there was still 7 million yen left. Including the fact that he had been collecting garbage for more than a year, he still had several million more.
In recent days, because of the Shirakawa Electric incident, he was so busy that he couldn't help but doze off as soon as he sat down.
"Hey" Yamashita Daji was startled and subconsciously covered his chest with his hands and looked towards the door in horror.
"Tell me, do you have any questions?" Bai Chuanfeng rubbed his face, but he had not forgotten his own business.
In fact, Shirakawa Kaede didn't have to rely on Yamashita Daichi. Yasuda Masaaki could do this job in one night. The reason why he came to Yamashita Kaede was that he wanted to train him more.
"This is Sony's new music player launched today. They call it Walkman. I thought it was interesting and bought one." Although Yamashita Daiharu didn't understand why Shirakawa Kaede was so nervous about this product, he still explained.
Bai Chuanfeng, who was teasing him just now, had already collapsed on the sofa and was about to fall asleep.
"etc!"
Now Shirakawa Electric is basically the old man of Watanabe Electric. Although there is no problem with execution, he still wants to train his own team, especially core positions.
Bai Chuanfeng glanced at his white body and said, "Keep working hard and reach Size C as soon as possible."
"Okay, the same old rules, a noble Prince Shotoku."
Bai Chuanfeng stepped forward quickly and took the figure in his memory.
When he casually picked up a small blue machine, a bright light flashed in Bai Chuanfeng's mind.
"Hi~ha~" A clever Shirakawa Kaede jumped up directly, while Yamashita Daiji laughed loudly.
Although Yamashita Daiji didn't know what Shirakawa Kaede was up to, he knew that Shirakawa Kaede had his own way, so he was not polite to him at all.
Bai Chuanfeng rolled his eyes, "With your body, you still want to be a racing gangster."
Bang, Bai Chuanfeng took out a document and stuffed it directly into his arms. "Change the drawing, move the motor to the edge of the singing table, and change it to a belt drive type. The only requirement is to resist earthquakes and reduce vibration interference."
Hearing the price, Bai Chuanfeng sighed. He raised his wrist and looked at the time, July 1, 1979.
"Ahem..." Yamashita Daiji coughed reservedly, "Of course there is no problem, but..." He gave Bai Chuanfeng a knowing look.
"How much?" Bai Chuanfeng turned the fuselage and stroked it obsessively.
To make money, you still have to make money. With such distress, Shirakawa Kaede returned to the dormitory in Suginami Ward.
"Vinyl record player?" Yamashita Daiji looked at the drawings and began to mutter various professional terms.
After tidying up the drawings, Yamashita Daji was ready to go back to his room for retreat. This was not a good place to work.
Shirakawa Electric currently has close to 30 employees, and the salary alone is a fixed expense of about 6 million per month.
Therefore, he must ensure that Baichuan Electric starts to make profits in the next few months, otherwise the monthly cost will drag him to death.
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.
The door of the dormitory opened with a "click", and Yamashita Daiji, wearing only underpants, was sitting on the sofa with his arms crossed, lowering his head and fiddling with something.
"Put on your clothes and follow me." Bai Chuanfeng put away the walkman, put on his backpack, and prepared to go out.
"Hey" Yamashita Daiji was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly looked for clothes, "Where are you going? Shirakawa-kun."
"Let's see if we can catch Sony's revolutionary train." Shirakawa Kaede's voice came from far outside the door.
