Chapter Thirty-Six: Changing Clothes

Shirakawa Kaede, who had made a windfall, was in a particularly comfortable mood, and he came back and silently counted his small treasury.

Well, yes, it's almost to the point of being a multimillionaire.

However, this amount of money is still a drizzle for him who wants to engage in industry, and the early investment is large and the return cycle is long in the later stage, which is a common problem in the industry.

However, it is different from the financial industry, once it is completed, it is a real fixed asset, and the risk is relatively low.

In the current year, Neon is the world's manufacturing factory. A large number of low-cost light industrial products hit the Western market, thanks to the two oil crises in the past two years, Japanese cars with the advantages of light and fuel-efficient, but also gradually began to open the North American market.

Looking at the real economy as a whole, it is a situation in which the whole people strive to sell their products to the Western market. The price of similar products is only one-third to two-thirds of that of foreign countries, because of this advantage, neon manufacturing is almost everywhere in the world.

This phenomenon is not very familiar. That's right, this is similar to the situation after the Celestial Empire joined the WTO.

First squeeze the market with low price advantages, then improve manufacturing quality, and finally go out of their own technical path.

Around the 60s, neon manufacturing was synonymous with copycat and shoddy manufacturing in the eyes of Westerners.

In recent years, it has begun to pay attention to its own product design and core technology.

However, in general, the current physical manufacturing industry still has dividends to eat. The government also has a large number of preferential policies for industrial companies, which is one of the reasons why Shirakawa Kaede chooses industry.

In addition to familiarity, it is profitable.

Besides, even if he wants to engage in finance to make a wave of quick money, he will not have some memory points until after the signing of the Plaza Agreement in 85.

It's too early, and he's not familiar with the financial industry. You can only use some stupid methods, after all, the benefits are high, and the risks are also high.

After finishing his dream of making a fortune, Shirakawa Kaede got up honestly and began to fiddle with his pile of old electrical appliances.

I still have to save money, and I'm far from a small goal.

Because the school doesn't have classes every day, Kaede Shirakawa sometimes lives directly in the apartment here in Asakusa.

Anyway, there are so many rooms that Torotaro can't use so many places alone.

Now his team of picking up rags is much better than when he fought alone.

He and Daiji Yamashita are the only ones who repair electrical appliances, and occasionally Torotaro can also fight.

After such a long period of cultivation, he can still solve a small problem.

Picking up the junk will be left to Ota and his younger brothers. They come from a reckless background, and they also complement each other well when dealing with people from the bottom of society. Sometimes it is better for them to come forward than for Shirakawa Kaede to do it himself.

Once, that guy from Ota mysteriously came to Shirakawa Kaede and said that there were nearby residents who wanted to buy second-hand electrical appliances directly from him. Q: Does Shirakawa Kaede sell or not?

Sell, of course sell. This kind of transaction also directly reduces the middleman to make the difference.

Shirakawa Kaede reassured Ota to sell boldly, and for every one sold, he gave Ota a share.

As soon as he heard this condition, Ota felt like he had been beaten with chicken blood. On the one hand, he is loyal to the throne, and on the other hand, he pats his chest and promises to get things done.

Since then, some of the second-hand electrical appliances here in Shirakawa Kaede have gone to second-hand shops, and some have been dispersed directly from Ota.

Most of the second-hand shops are in good condition, and only these can be sold at a high price. And many old styles are not easy to deal with, so they are handed over to Ota.

After all, it is not a middle-class family who asks him to buy second-hand, and ordinary civilians are not very picky about new and old styles.

Although the price is not high, it is also a considerable amount of income.

Shirakawa Kaede fiddled with the vinyl record player in his hand, and a flash of thought flashed in his eyes.

It wasn't that the machine stumped him, but it was the third time he'd seen it this week.

"Torotaro, do you think this machine looks familiar?" Kaede Shirakawa turned his head to greet Torotaro, who was fiddling with the radio.

Torotaro put down the screwdriver in his hand and looked up, "Eh, it seems to be a little familiar." He leaned over and took a closer look at the vinyl record player, "B... Sā€¦ā€

"Black Stone" Shirakawa Kaede rolled his eyes helplessly and read out the logo on the vinyl record player for him.

"Yes, yes, Black Stone," Torotaro suddenly realized, "I seem to have seen this machine before, but it hasn't been sold yet?" Still not so easy to fix? As he spoke, he reached out and began to fiddle with the machine.

"One" Shirakawa Kaede shook his head, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the third time I've seen them?" ā€

"The third time?"

"Hmm," Shirakawa Kaede frowned, "Have you found a common feature between them?" ā€

"Eh," Torotaro touched the black turntable with his hand, which was smooth and delicate, reflecting the figure of a human figure, "It seems that this machine is still very new?" ā€

"That's right," Shirakawa Kaede nodded, "You can look at its production date on the chassis." ā€

Torotaro turned the vinyl record player in turn and found the production nameplate, "Date of production, Showa 53 (1978), December 20." ā€

"Huh?!" Torotaro's eyes widened, "Xiao Feng, this machine has just been produced for less than a month!" ā€

"Yes, it's a similar situation with the others." These machines were all passed by his hands, and Shirakawa Kaede remembered it very well.

"Baga, these unscrupulous profiteers!" Torotaro put down the machine angrily and scolded the manufacturer for being despicable.

The product produced broke down in less than a month. This is unimaginable in RB, which has begun to pursue quality today.

A vinyl record player, even if it is a low-end brand, costs tens of thousands of yen, and it will break down in less than a month after buying it. This consumers are not allowed to complain to the explosion?

The most important thing to make a product is word of mouth, how could this Blackstone record player not understand this truth, the key seems to have not improved at all recently.

Shirakawa Kaede pinched his chin and rolled his eyes.

"Xiao Feng, what the hell are you trying to do?" Seeing his expression, Torotaro, who knew him, immediately knew that he was bubbling up again.

"Hi~" Bai Chuanfeng waved his hand and said awe-inspiringly, "What bad intentions can I have, I just want to visit this Blackstone record player and learn advanced experience." ā€

Learn from the best practices? Learn how to make a product bad in a month? Fool it.

Seeing Torotaro looking at himself suspiciously, Shirakawa Kaede slapped his palms, "It's so decided, go to the Blackstone record player as soon as possible." Maybe I can give them suggestions to improve the quality of the product. ā€

"Huh? Really go. This time it was Torotaro's turn to be surprised. It's not that he doesn't believe in Shirakawa Kaede's character, but what he wants to do just like that.

"Go, of course." Shirakawa Kaede got up and looked around, "But we can't just go like this, but we have to change our outfits." ā€

"Walk?" Torotaro's face was full of question marks.

"Yes, what do you think about the title of president of Shirakawa Electric Co., Ltd.?" Shirakawa Kaede straightened his neckline and put on the posture of President San.

Torotaro got up and reached out and touched Shirakawa Kaede's forehead, then leaned over to him and sniffed, "Eh, I don't have a fever, and I'm drinking." ā€

"Go, go" Shirakawa Kaede waved his hand in disgust, "I'm going to buy a two-fitting suit right away today, Torotaro, you too, how can President San not wear a decent point." ā€

"Jingle bell~" At this moment, the phone in the house rang.

Well, that's right. Since renting an apartment and making a little money, Shirakawa Kaede has also installed a phone for himself.

Just this year, RB has completed telephone automation, and the national phone is dialed and answered, no need for a transferor, and no longer need additional waiting, which is very convenient.

Shirakawa Kaede picked up the phone, "Moxi Moxi?" ā€
