Chapter 93
Testing
Flashman's production line planning meeting ended, and Shirakawa Kaede left Mako Yoshida alone.
"Sister Yoshida, thank you for taking care of me during this period." Privately, Bai Chuanfeng addressed these senior brothers and sisters as juniors in the school.
One is because they are now only staying at Shirakawa Electric in the name of research internships, and are not yet formal members in the strict sense.
Second, after all, they are brothers in the same discipline, so calling them this way shows their affection.
"President Shirakawa, you're welcome." Without the crowd in front of her, Yoshida Mako, who wore a single ponytail, also relaxed a lot.
However, she still calls Bai Chuanfeng president. This is her consistent insistence, as long as they are both in the company.
Bai Chuanfeng waved his hand, "Senior sister, just call me Bai Chuan in private, but I threw a mess to senior sister when I first came here. I'm very sorry."
Shirakawa Electric had no finances in the first month. The arrival of Mako Yoshida solved Shirakawa Kaede's urgent need.
However, because everything is still in the preliminary stage, finance is even more complicated and top priority.
It also took Mako Yoshida a month of hard work to gradually sort out the situation. This also provided Shirakawa Electric with a strong financial guarantee to get on the right track.
After all, lifetime employment is common in this era, and once chosen, most people will never change.
"About 26 million yen." Mako Yoshida reported a number skillfully. She had long been familiar with these contents. She was familiar with the various data of Shirakawa Electric than anyone else.
Not only is it difficult to recruit from outside, the price of experienced talents is also much higher than this.
“Is there a lot of pressure on suppliers to collect payment?”
"By the way, senior sister, how much funds does Baichuan Electric have on its books now?"
It seems that he bought Shirakawa Electric for about the same amount of money. But the vinyl record player and the Walkman are different.
After each vinyl record player is assembled, a dedicated master is responsible for debugging it.
This was just a trial by Bai Chuanfeng, and it turned out that it wasn't too bad...
Seeing Shirakawa Kaede pondering a little, Yoshida Mako asked tentatively, "Shirakawa-kun, have you encountered a problem?"
Therefore, in terms of automation level, the Walkman production line is much higher than that of vinyl record players.
Therefore, a vinyl record player takes a lot of time from production to shipment. This also indirectly increases its time cost and labor cost.
Mako Yoshida thought for a moment for two seconds, "Most of them are fine. The agreements we sign with each other are basically half-year settlements. There is enough turnover space."
Bai Chuanfeng nodded, indicating that he understood. Although the money is not all his own, it can be used flexibly in the short term.
Before the plan is implemented, Shirakawa Kaede must have a clear understanding of the club's available resources. The priorities of various affairs also need to be arranged one by one.
It is foreseeable that with the gradual advancement of the flashman project, everyone's work will not be too easy.
Although there are also people who resign and change jobs, when they really face the moment, they will always have many worries.
What's more, Yoshida Mako and Shirakawa Kaede were both born in Meiji. Once they made a decision, it would be even harder to shirk the blame in the future.
"26 million..." Bai Chuanfeng pondered slightly. This amount of money would probably be too much to implement the flashman production line.
Although the working principle is the same as analog signal conversion, the circuit integration of the Walkman is obviously much higher than that of vinyl records.
Although the recruiters from the society are rich in experience, they are not as reliable as those who are trained by themselves.
Although the production planning of flashman has been officially launched, there is still a huge demand for funds.
And Shirakawa Kaede also pays more attention to the brand on them, Meiji.
Bai Chuanfeng looked at her intently, waiting for her answer.
This also means that the number of electronic components used in the Walkman has increased significantly. This is exactly what Shirakawa Electric is least good at.
The reason for giving so much is not only that Baichuan Feng wants to keep these senior brothers and sisters, but also that Baichuan Electric is also in urgent need of these talents.
With the friendship between fellow apprentices and brothers, if Shirakawa Electric grows in the future, they will definitely become the mainstay of Shirakawa Electric.
Also, don’t forget, these brothers and sisters are all monks in education.
It is understandable that a master's degree student from China would be more ambitious.
"But... we still need to keep working hard." Mako Yoshida smiled and gave her answer.
Mako Yoshida chuckled, and then gave him a thoughtful look, "Yoshida also gained a lot, but..."
Not all of the 26 million belongs to Shirakawa Electric, some of it needs to be paid to raw material suppliers.
In addition, the production of vinyl record players relies heavily on labor, not to mention the processing of metal parts. The assembly of just over a hundred parts is almost entirely done manually.
Bai Chuanfeng came to his senses and shook his head, "It's nothing. I'll have to ask Senior Sister for some time to come."
In fact, it is not difficult to understand. First of all, each vinyl record player uses much more raw materials than a walkman, especially metal parts.
As the atmosphere of the conversation gradually relaxed, Yoshida Mako also chatted with him like a friend.
Although he did not receive the affirmative answer he was expecting, Shirakawa Kaede was not disappointed.
Speaking of which, the treatment Shirakawa Kaede gave to his senior brothers and sisters was definitely generous. In 1979, the average initial salary for fresh graduates from Nihon University was about 110,000 yen.
In this way, in two months, as the sales of Obsidian record players continue, he will have more and more funds at his disposal. Then the financial guarantee of the Walkman will become more and more stable.
Bai Chuanfeng nodded, "You're right, it all requires hard work."
In just two months, you really need to be cautious when trying to get others to do major things that will affect your future work.
The Walkman is different. It is basically an assembly line product. It can be shipped directly after simple functional testing, and the greater the output, the lower the cost.
Still need to work hard, whether it is him or Shirakawa Electric. If you want to attract talents, you can only strengthen yourself.
At least now it seems that Mako Yoshida has a good impression of Shirakawa Electric.
"You're welcome, Mr. Shirakawa, this is also a rare experience for me."
And Shirakawa Kaede gave them 220,000 yen in an envelope every month, which was double.
Hearing what Shirakawa Kaede said, Yoshida Mako smiled heartily, "President Shirakawa, please rest assured, I will definitely be full of energy every day."
Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that the manufacturing cost of electronic components of a Walkman must be higher than that of a vinyl record player.
It may sound contradictory. The price of a Walkman is only 20,000 to 30,000 yen. However, the cost of electronic components is higher than that of a vinyl record player that sells for 83,000 yen.
"Haha, senior sister said that, it's really reassuring." Bai Chuanfeng praised with a smile, then paused and added, "Baichuan Electrical Appliances cannot do without senior sister's hard work."
Watching Yoshida Mako's leaving figure, Shirakawa Kaede secretly wondered when she would find time to talk to Inoue Ken, Sasaki Yakumo and the others again.
Alas, Bai Chuanfeng was also worried about talents.
If Flashman performs well after being launched, Shirakawa Kaede believes that the difficulty will be greatly reduced whether it is to capture these senior brothers and sisters, or to trick people from Meiji... ahem, or to recruit people from Meiji.
Therefore, flashman must be foolproof.
