The personnel arrangements and appointments have been properly arranged, and Kaede Shirakawa continues with the next agenda item of the meeting.

"Finally, I would like to inform you of the good news, our first product of Shirakawa Electric, the Obsidian record player, sold 200 units in the first month!"

"Wow~" As soon as the words fell, Hasegawa, Yasuda, and Yamaguchi began to applaud with joy on their faces.

Although Mako Yoshida, Ken Inoue and others also raised their hands in agreement, they were a little inexplicable in their hearts.

Isn't 200 jukeboxes a remarkable number?

This is really a remarkable number, especially for Yasuda and them, and for Shirakawa Electric.

You must know that at the beginning of Watanabe Electric, at its peak, it sold about 150 units a month. After Kowatanabe took over, he almost fell below 100 units.

Now that Shirakawa Electric has just taken over, it has used a new design and a new brand, which is completely equivalent to bringing a new product to the market without a mass base.

The sales of 200 units in one fell swoop in the first month was already very remarkable, which was even higher than when Watanabe Electric was at its best. In Hasegawa's opinion, this is simply a miracle.

Shirakawa Kaede pressed down with both hands, signaling everyone to be quiet.

When the applause stopped, he continued to puff up his voice, "The price of the obsidian record player is still 83,000 yen, but the cost of materials is 20% lower than the previous black stone record player.

After deducting materials, labor, operating costs, and taxes, our profit per turntable was 7,000 yen, which is more than 8 times higher than the 830 yen for a Blackstone record player!

The profit margin relative to the selling price has also increased from the initial 1% to 8.4%!

Not only successfully completed the 5% improvement target set at the beginning of the month, but even exceeded the task! ”

200 units cost 7,000 yen, and the net profit is 1.4 million yen! Shirakawa Electric made a profit in the first month!

"Oh~!"

"Si Guoyi!"

This time, everyone's applause was not only more enthusiastic, but also accompanied by a few words of applause. Even the brothers and sisters from Meiji were a little excited.

Talking to them about 200 units sold, they don't feel anything. But with a net profit of 1.4 million yen, that's a lot more intuitive.

1.4 million yen is still quite a good purchasing power today, and the average annual consumption of RB is 1 million yen per capita.

The so-called per capita annual consumption includes all aspects of your clothing, food, housing, transportation, education, and medical care, all of which add up to just 1 million yen.

So 1.4 million is already a lot of money, and this is still the first month. In the future, you only need to operate steadily step by step, and the profits will only get higher and higher.

If the club is rich, will their benefits be less? The answer is yes.

Looking at the lively scene below, Shirakawa Kaede was also very happy in his heart. "Shirakawa Electric's ability to achieve profitability in the first month is the result of the joint efforts of all of you.

Here, Shirakawa thanked him. Saying that, Shirakawa Kaede also bowed to everyone sincerely.

Accompanied by Shirakawa Kaede's thanks, there was still applause from everyone. However, unlike the cheers just now, everyone looked at Shirakawa Kaede with affection.

Although this is the result of the team's efforts, it is really difficult to say what the final result would have been without his leadership.

"In short, the next stage of the club's Walkman project still needs your full efforts.

Be sure to complete the design verification within three months, get the first prototype within the year, and launch it on a large scale early next year at the latest! ”

"Understood!" Everyone at Shirakawa Electric agreed in unison, knowing that Shirakawa Electric's next flagship product had poured all of the president's efforts.

There were some people who doubted the future of the Walkman before, such as Kazuo Yamaguchi, who valued sound quality.

But after the profitability of the obsidian record player, he also changed his opinion.

It's not that he's optimistic about the Walkman now, it's that he trusts Shirakawa Kaede's vision.

The development route formulated by Shirakawa Maple for Shirakawa Electric is very simple, survival-development-core competitiveness.

The advent of the obsidian record player is to survive, so the development of the Walkman is for the development and growth of the future.

Today's meeting is to arrange for Meiji's foreign aid, introduce the mutual understanding, and make Shirakawa Electric more coordinated and effective in the future.

The second is also to inform you of the good news and affirm the efforts of the previous month.

Three, naturally, is the formulation of strategic goals in the next stage, and only when there is a direction can there be motivation.

The whole meeting lasted for two hours, and on the whole it was relatively smooth, and there were no big differences among everyone.

While Shirakawa Kaede was gushing, Asuka Kobayashi sat beside him and wrote non-stop.

Whenever Shirakawa Kaede's hand subconsciously reached to the side, a cup of iced coffee would always be pushed into his hand accurately.

Tsk~ Although Kobayashi is sometimes unforgiving, he is still very considerate.

At the end of the meeting, the crowd dispersed. Meiji's senior brothers and sisters, Shirakawa Kaede expressed their gratitude to them one by one.

After all, as a student of Meiji, I will definitely not worry about work or anything like that in the future.

Those large group companies take out one at random, and the working environment is not much better than that of Shirakawa Electric.

In private, Shirakawa Kaede was still very polite to them, and after contacting some feelings, he took his brothers and sisters to take a walk around Shirakawa Electric.

Although the company is not big, Yoshida and they did not underestimate Shirakawa Kaede.

After all, President Sang is President Mulberry, but not everyone can become President Mulberry.

As for the specific takeover of their respective positions in the future, these will be in charge of Asuka Kobayashi.

She was also from Meiji, and she was beautiful and cute, so she soon had a good conversation with Yoshida.

And Shirakawa Kaede is, of course, the key strategy... Phew, of course, it's about Hui Yamazaki.

The time is only three months, so Shirakawa Kaede is not nervous. In addition to internal pressure, there is also pressure from the outside.

Sony's Walkman has just been released, the market has not yet opened, and even the initial situation cannot be called good.

Many media outlets are not very optimistic about the prospects of this new machine, believing that its sound quality is a major problem.

Many stubborn RB people still think that vinyl is irreplaceable.

However, despite this, Shirakawa Kaede did not dare to take it lightly at all.

With his knowledge of Sony's deep pockets, if the first month of sales is not good.

The other party will definitely spend a lot of money on marketing, advertising, and celebrities.

Coupled with the novel shape and pioneering innovation, it will also be liked by young people.

At that time, not to mention whether there were other competitors, Sony's Walkman alone was a bestseller overseas and became famous.

At that time, it would be difficult for Shirakawa Electric to get another foreign authorization, or the cost would be too big for him to bear.

Before the Walkman became a trend, now is the best time for Shirakawa Electric to exert its strength.

"Isn't there any news from abroad?" In the president's office, Shirakawa Kaede looked up again and asked Asuka Kobayashi.

Before, these things were handed over to Komatsu's assistant, but now Kobayashi-san, who has become his personal assistant, naturally took over this matter.

"I've been checking over there for almost a month, and there is no news yet." Asuka Kobayashi knew that Shirakawa Kaede attached great importance to this matter, and rarely did not quarrel with him.

Shirakawa Kaede frowned and thought for a while, then he threw down the pen in his hand. "Give up the work on the side of the United States, turn all the resources to Europe, and focus on the patented technology related to Britain, Germany, and Gallic chickens."

Shirakawa Kaede doesn't know which country the Walkman's patent is in, and the people below also take it for granted that such an advanced idea is, of course, in the father of the United States.

However, there has been no news for more than half a month, which makes Shirakawa Kaede doubt this idea.

If there is no one in the United States, then there are only British, German or Gallic chickens with the most developed industries.

Asuka Kobayashi nodded in understanding, and then immediately got up to make arrangements.

Time is running out, Shirakawa Kaede sighed.

If Shirakawa Electric has been going according to the plan, it is a question whether it can survive the wave after the bubble bursts in the future.

The only consolation is that Shirakawa has done a lot of work before this, and now it is waiting for Yamazaki Hui to be in place.

In the office of the R&D department, Shirakawa Kaede rubbed his hands together and walked towards Yamazaki Hui with shining eyes.
