Chapter 91
Money is hard to come by
The circuit solution has been initially completed, so the next step is to proofread and then make a prototype.
Although the circuits are densely packed, and zeros and zeros always occupy dozens of drawings, what is finally shown is only a small green circuit board.
Since Toshiba introduced the technology to generate copper oxide on the surface of copper foil in 1955, multilayer printed circuit boards have been widely used in electronic products.
For example, in these drawings drawn by Hui Yamazaki, circuits can be printed in layers on the PCB board, insulated from each other, and do not interfere with each other.
This greatly improves space utilization and makes electronic products smaller and smaller.
Especially after Fairchild invented the integrated circuit, it created the field of microelectronics. Various processor chips also came into being.
However, Shirakawa Electric currently does not have the equipment to make circuit boards, so we can only think of other ways to make prototypes.
There are many electronic component manufacturing companies in Japan, including Toshiba, Hitachi, NEC, Mitsubishi, etc., all have this business.
They are both manufacturers of consumer electronics products and suppliers of electronic components.
The fragrance of wine is also afraid of the deep alleys. The response in the first month was mediocre, but in the second month, the supply exceeded the demand. It can be said that the publicity plan played a key role.
Although Shirakawa Electric started making profits in the first month, its spending far exceeded its revenue.
As for mass production orders after successful verification?
Sorry, they are not interested in a small company they have never heard of and a product they don't know if it is reliable.
Just below the Sankei Shimbun, there is a promotional poster of Hideki Saijo half-naked with a Walkman strapped to his waist.
After sending away Yamazaki Hui, another stone fell from Bai Chuanfeng's heart.
Look, isn't it the Kikuchi Laboratory of Meiji Ikuta Campus that is Yamazaki Hui's natal family?
Sales have increased tenfold, but electrical appliance stores in various places are still in short supply, with a large number of items out of stock.
This terrifying ability to print money is simply unreasonable.
Shirakawa Electric does not have its own research institute, but Shirakawa Kaede knows him well in the laboratory.
Yamazaki Hui said it was okay. He had often done these things in the laboratory before and was familiar with it.
In the past, Asuka Kobayashi organized all these tasks and put them in a convenient position for him. Now that school is about to start, the assistant work has returned to Assistant Komatsu again.
"Not yet, Hasegawa-san, is there anything important?" He had just sent Yamazaki Hui away, and he hadn't had time to look through the newspapers compiled every day.
However, they will definitely not take on the task of proofing. After all, they only produce one or two pieces of products at a time for functional verification.
Not to mention the performance of the prototype, the subsequent production plan will also have to be upgraded.
This is only the second month, and when the word-of-mouth fertilizes and a phenomenal cultural effect is formed, the sales volume will grow exponentially.
Just let him do the research and development, and then let him go back to his parents' house to prototype the equipment. Isn't this a free prostitute going too far?
Even though Bai Chuanfeng was thick-skinned, he felt a little embarrassed at this moment.
Watching Hasegawa's leaving figure, Shirakawa Kaede fell into deep thought.
What's more, Sony deliberately found someone to act as a supporter and took the Walkman around on the streets. With a two-pronged approach, the Walkman completely opened up the market.
No, Shirakawa Electric's Walkman needs to be accelerated. If you enter the market one day earlier, you can get a bigger share of the pie.
After hearing Yamazaki Hui's answer, Shirakawa Kaede felt happy.
It's just a waste of manpower and material resources, and it's not even worth the startup fee.
In this way, reputation, technology, and talents are all there. Wonderful~
However, before he could continue to fantasize, Hasegawa hurriedly knocked on his door with a newspaper.
It is now September, and there are still three or four months before the end of the year. Yamazaki Hui has returned to the Ikuta campus for proofing. If everything goes well, the prototype can be assembled within a week.
"Hai" Hasegawa leaned forward and agreed. He had long been accustomed to Shirakawa Kaede's vigorous and resolute actions.
Walkman sales jumped from 3,000 units in the first month to 30,000 units in the following month.
Looking at the number of 30,000 units, Shirakawa Kaede was really envious.
Therefore, the most suitable place for proofing and making prototypes is the internal research institute or laboratory of each company.
"President Shirakawa, please take a look." Hasegawa placed the compiled newspaper in front of him.
Thinking of this, Bai Chuanfeng started to feel overwhelmed again. Each of these items is inseparable from money.
Thirty thousand units, even if each unit only has a 10% profit, the total net profit is nearly 100 million yen.
"Walkman is a great success! The new favorite gift for students~"
The first batch of trial production was originally expected to be carried out at the end of the year, but now it seems that it needs to be brought forward.
Bai Chuanfeng was thinking about setting up an industry-university-research institute or something like that when he got rich in the future, and then setting up some scholarships to help underprivileged children.
A series of processes ranging from site, equipment, employees to raw material procurement, etc. need to be evaluated and arranged in advance.
The concert, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, was a full house. Yumi Wago was ranked as one of the "Three New Artists" and was hailed as a legend of a generation.
"Senior Yamazaki, I've caused you trouble again."
Just look at the Oricon Charts to see how popular Hideki Saijo is right now.
Once Sony's Walkman is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it will be even more difficult to seize the opportunity.
Even if the verification is passed, the scale of subsequent orders will be pitifully small. If the production capacity cannot be scaled up, there will be no profit at all.
A line of eye-catching thick black fonts stands out in front of your eyes.
It can be said that Meiji has been very kind to me. From the first pot of gold, my career has been more or less supported by Meiji.
"In that case, please leave it to Yamazaki-senpai." What else is there to say? Of course, bow.
Sony has its own manufacturing plant, so there is no doubt that the cost will be kept within a very low range.
No clothes on the upper body, wearing headphones on the head, and a Walkman on the waist. How about it, it is eye-catching enough.
The reason why sales have increased so much is not only the excellent design of Walkman itself, but also the massive promotional resources invested by Sony.
That's great. Professor Kikuchi's strength is undoubted. He has checked it after just one look.
With such a super idol taking off his clothes and carrying goods, there is no reason why teenagers should not pay attention and imitate him.
"President Shirakawa, have you read today's Sankei news?" Hasegawa couldn't wait to ask Shirakawa Kaede as soon as he entered the door.
"Don't worry, Shirakawa-kun. It just so happens that I haven't visited Kikuchi-sensei for a long time. If I have some design questions, maybe the teacher can give some suggestions."
And it's not just a small amount of money, it's at least millions.
"Hasegawa-san, inform Yasuda-san and the others to hold a meeting together in half an hour." Shirakawa Kaede put down the newspaper and quickly set the agenda for the meeting.
Shirakawa Kaede watched carefully. The report was about Sony's newly launched portable music player Walkman, which has caused a stir in the past month.
To make money, you still have to make money.
Bai Chuanfeng felt that he was either making money or on the road to making money.
Money is hard, money is hard~
There are many prostitutes' roads, where are they now?——
PS: There will be more at noon
