Chapter 61: Imitation
Ota-ku, Shirakawa Electric.
Daiji Yamashita stood at the door of the factory, staring blankly at the brand-new signboard.
"Shirakawa Electric Co., Ltd."
"Shirakawa-kun, is this your family business?" Yamashita Daiji's first reaction was that Shirakawa Kaede was a hidden rich second generation.
But isn't Shirakawa-kun from Akita, and I haven't heard that his family has a company in Tokyo.
Shirakawa Kaede smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go." After speaking, he took the lead and entered the company.
Since this has become its own industry, Shirakawa Kaede is also quite concerned about the environment of the factory.
The cluttered environment not only affects Shirakawa's image, but it is also not a pleasant thing for those who work here.
The first time he and Torotaro came here, the door was a mess of all kinds of garbage and materials, and now it's all cleaned up.
Don't talk about anything else, it's not too much to sort out the workshop according to the requirements of 5S.
If it weren't for the lack of money in his hand, Shirakawa Kaede would have wanted to renovate the factory.
But even so, today's Shirakawa Electric looks a little old, but at least it is in order.
When I entered the company, I happened to bump into Hasegawa head-on.
"President Shirakawa?" The other party was wondering why the president came back so quickly.
Shirakawa Kaede had already taken the lead in speaking, "Hasegawa-san, please inform Yasuda-san and them, let's go to the conference room for a meeting together." ”
"Eh" Hasegawa was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement, turned around and hurried away.
The young president, San, has always been vigorous and resolute, and although they have only been together for a few days, Hasegawa has gradually become accustomed to it.
Even he himself admires this style, at least the company's operational efficiency has been significantly improved.
Waiting for Hasegawa to leave, Shirakawa Kaede turned his head to look at Daiji Yamashita, who was staring at him with wide eyes.
"Welcome to Shirakawa Electric and re-introduce. The contemptible Shirakawa Kaede is the founder and president of Shirakawa Electric. ”
Yamashita Daiji opened his mouth wide as he looked down at his watch. Isn't it April Fool's Day?
"Is it really President San?" After holding it for a long time, Yamashita Daiji's down-and-down brain resumed working.
Are you kidding? Nineteen-year-old president, San? And a student at Meiji University's Faculty of Business Administration?
"I'm scared," Shirakawa Kaede smiled triumphantly, "It's actually just a very small company, and it's not even a good situation." Well, the drawings just given to you are the company's products. ”
Shirakawa Kaede hugged Daiji Yamashita and said as he walked, and by the way, he also gave him a general introduction to Shirakawa Electric.
Although he has accepted the fact that Shirakawa Kaede is the president, Daiji Yamashita still feels shocked and inexplicable.
Shirakawa Kaede, who usually sees the dragon without seeing the end, used this year and a half to become the president of a club.
This... Daiji Yamashita looked at his A-cover, and the gap was a bit big.
Meeting room on the second floor.
Shirakawa Kaede sat at the top, Yasuda and Hasegawa were on both sides, and Yamashita Daiji observed.
"I'm sorry to disturb you again" The meetings have been a bit frequent in the past two days, and Shirakawa Kaede first owed everyone a debt at the beginning.
Then he took Daiji Yamashita's Sony Walkman and held it up to face the crowd, "Do you know what this is?" ”
Yasuda, Hasegawa, and Yamaguchi all looked at each other, but the assistant Komatsu hesitated for a moment and said softly, "President Shirakawa, this should be Sony's new portable tape recorder, which Sony calls a Walkman." ”
Shirakawa Kaede glanced at Assistant Komatsu appreciatively, "That's right, it's Walkman." How did Komatsu-san know? ”
Assistant Komatsu saw that everyone was staring at her, and said a little embarrassed, "Because... I also bought one. ”
Shirakawa Kaede nodded at her to indicate that it was okay, and he turned to the crowd again, "Starting today, it will change the way people listen to music.
In the future, everyone can listen to their favorite music anytime and anywhere, on airplanes, subways, trams, on the street, and even in the office..."
After listening to Shirakawa Kaede's explanation, everyone no longer dared to underestimate this small machine.
To be honest, for their sluggish reaction, Bai Chuanfeng was slightly disappointed in his heart.
As a peer in the production of music products, it is very necessary to maintain a sensitive sense of smell in the market.
If it is like this in the future, then Shirakawa Electric can only follow others forever and eat ashes.
Letting go of the thoughts in his heart, Shirakawa Kaede passed the machine down, "Let's try this machine, and then analyze its advantages and disadvantages." ”
Yasuda and the others took the robot and fiddled with it carefully, and everyone auditioned for one side before they began to discuss with each other.
"How, Hasegawa-san?" Kaede Shirakawa first asked Hiroshi Hasegawa from the marketing department.
Hasegawa sat upright, "It's very small and convenient, and it looks good." As President Shirakawa said, it is a revolutionary product, especially young people, who should like it. ”
Shirakawa Kaede nodded, Hasegawa's eyes were still there.
At this time, Yamaguchi of the manufacturing department couldn't help but speak, "But it has a fatal shortcoming, that is, the sound quality is not good enough. At least compared to our black... The obsidian record player is coming, and it is far worse. ”
After all, Kazuo Yamaguchi looked quite arrogant, and he doubted that this small machine called Walkman could be liked by everyone.
At least he listened to the music himself, and he couldn't stand the obvious floor noise. Music should be pure, natural and original, and vinyl record players are the perfect medium for music.
"Where's Yasuda-san?" Shirakawa Kaede turned his head to look at Masaaki Yasuda again, he was doing technology. Kaede Shirakawa would love to hear his opinion.
Masaaki Yasuda didn't speak first, but took the machine and fiddled with it a few more times before he considered speaking.
"I don't know if it's going to be a hit, but it's not that hard to make, and it's a bit like the cassette recorders that came before it.
But in terms of design thinking, it's a genius idea. Sony, they have an admirable team of engineers. ”
Very good, the three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang.
He doesn't have Sony's advanced R&D team, but he has people who are serious about making products.
If you can't do it alone, you can brainstorm, and there is also your own "accurate" president, San.
He didn't believe that Shirakawa Electric couldn't make a splash in the tide of the times, and if he gave him a few more years, he must let the whole RB remember the name of Shirakawa Electric.
"I share everyone's opinion, it's small, lightweight, stylish, but it also has its own shortcomings.
But it will definitely shine in the future, especially young people, who are definitely its first audience.
So..."Shirakawa Kaede propped his hands on the table, "Let's study how to imitate this product!" ”
Shirakawa Kaede said the imitation blatantly, and the people below also listened to it as a matter of course.
Only Daiji Yamashita's brain is down again, and he still has the drawings of the record player in his bag, so why do you turn around and want to be a Walkman.
"The Obsidian record player was upgraded within a week, and the rest of the time was spent researching a replica of the Walkman.
The goal is to complete the design of the product by the end of this year, and carry out the first batch of trial production at the beginning of the year. Do you have any questions? Shirakawa Kaede looked at everyone with burning eyes.
Half a year, in fact, is very intense, not to mention that everyone has no similar experience before.
But they were infected by the ambitious Shirakawa Kaede, and they all stood up and bowed at the same time, "Hai! ”
