In the office of the president of Shirakawa Electric, Shirakawa Kaede is checking the cost accounting done by Mako Yoshida.

Flashman's IPO plan is in full swing, and basically all the money that should have been spent has been spent.

If nothing else, Flashman won't have a bigger investment in the near future. Then it is necessary to do a cost accounting at this moment, at least Shirakawa Kaede needs to know how much money Shirakawa Electric has spent on the Walkman project.

In the past six months, he has been patronizing and spending money, but he has not calculated the financial income and expenditure well.

Now that the dust has settled, it's time to calculate the assets in your hands.

According to the financial statements made by Mako Yoshida, from the beginning of the Walkman project to the official production of Flashman. Shirakawa Electric invested about 30 million yen in the construction of production lines and labor, of which the equipment cost alone was more than 20 million.

The construction of the factory and the recruitment of personnel also cost close to 10 million yen.

In addition to labor, the remaining equipment and plants of more than 30 million yuan are considered heavy assets. Well, in other words, money becomes another way to stay with you.

However, this is far from the end of the cost investment of the Walkman project, the procurement of raw materials, the development and maintenance of operation and sales channels, the processing costs of circuit boards, etc., add up to nearly 20 million expenses.

The 20 million is not all the investment, such as the procurement of raw materials and the foundry of circuit boards, but only the initial 30% deposit is paid.

The remaining balance will not be settled until a quarter or half a year later, after all, the collection of payments in the manufacturing industry is not so fast, and these operations are also the consensus of the industry.

In this way, Shirakawa Electric has invested about 50 million yen in Flashman so far.

50 million yen, in today's era. Not to mention ordinary people, it is also a huge amount of money for some small companies.

And all that is spent is real money, cash flow.

Since so much money has been spent, how much money has Shirakawa Kaede earned in the past half a year.

First of all, the original song "Dragonfly" came down in September, and there was another wave of royalties, about 15 million yen.

The Red Romance Recycling Alliance, which picks up garbage, also earns more than 1 million yen every month, and more than 6 million yen in half a year.

The sum of these two is more than 20 million yen, and because there is no cost input, this is a net profit.

Well, cash flow too.

Another big entry on the books is the turnover of Shirakawa Electric's obsidian record player. Because obsidian record players are mainly retailed, they are very quick to collect payments compared to distribution companies.

So far, about 1,600 obsidian record players have been shipped, with a total turnover of nearly 140 million yen.

This includes 21 million yen, excluding 15% of retailers' profits. There is also a fixed labor cost, 54 million yen. There are about 65 million yen left.

However, about 30% of the advance payment for raw materials will be deducted, and the remaining book capital will be about 40 million yen, plus the operating costs.

4000 + 2000 = 60 million yen, this is all the funds that Shirakawa Electric could use before.

It's just that Flashman alone smashed 50 million yen, which means that at this moment, Shirakawa Electric has only about 10 million left on its books.

The rest is set aside for employee salaries, as well as the company's fixed operating expenses.

There is no money, there is really no money, and Shirakawa Kaede feels that he is about to be drained.

Just this 10 million, or keep it for the advertising plan that will be implemented soon.

Alas, Shirakawa Feng put down the report and sighed, looking at the string of expenditure figures gave him a headache.

It is no exaggeration to say that the hopes of the whole company are pressed on Flashman.

If there is a shortage of funds, Shirakawa Kaede plans to go to the bank for a loan.

But don't rush for the time being, let's see how Flashman performs after it goes public.

If it meets or even exceeds expectations, then Shirakawa Electric will definitely apply for a loan from the bank and then expand the scale of production.

"Knock Knock"

Just when Shirakawa Kaede was secretly pondering the management problem, Assistant Komatsu knocked on the office door.

"Is there anything wrong with Assistant Komatsu?" Shirakawa Kaede looked up from the pile of papers.

"President Shirakawa, there is a person who claims to be the president of Bic camera who has asked for a visit." Assistant Komatsu stood at the door and replied softly.

She knew that Shirakawa Kaede didn't like others to disturb him when he was working, so whenever Shirakawa Kaede was concentrating, Assistant Komatsu would work in the office outside.

“Bic camera？” Shirakawa Kaede muttered, I haven't heard of this name.

How does it sound like a camera seller, what are you doing here?

But doubts are doubts, Shirakawa Kaede thinks that it doesn't matter if you see it, let's see what kind of medicine is sold in the other party's gourd.

"Let him in."

"Hail"

Assistant Komatsu left only two minutes before he walked into the office again with a middle-aged man in his forties.

"Ryuji Arai, president of the contemptible Bic camera Co., Ltd., has come to visit Shirakawa-san today, so please give me a lot of advice."

Without waiting for Shirakawa Kaede to speak, this Ryuji Arai had already taken the lead in stepping forward, bending down and offering his business card with both hands.

"Arai-san, please take care of me." Shirakawa Kaede took the business card while returning the salute and took a closer look.

Camera wholesalers, do they really sell cameras?

"Arai-san, please sit" Shirakawa Kaede ushered Arai Ryuji to the sofa, and at this time, Komatsu's assistant's two cups of coffee were also served.

After the two sides sat down, Shirakawa Kaede first exchanged a few polite words with the other party. From this Arai-san's words, Shirakawa Kaede learned that the other party was indeed selling cameras.

Just last year, Bic camera opened its first store in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, but this is not its first store.

Pizza Ke was originally a retail store specializing in the sale of cameras in Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture, but now it has grown with the economy. Ryuji Arai is also thinking about expanding the size of the store and starting to expand its business in Tokyo.

"Arai-san, forgive me for taking the liberty of going down. I just heard Arai-san's introduction, your company seems to be a camera franchise store, I don't know if your Excellency is coming to Shirakawa Electric today..."

Shirakawa Kaede had some guesses in his heart, but he still wanted to hear the other party's plans.

Hearing this, Ryuji Arai immediately sat upright, "Shirakawa-san, the next step for our Pizza is to expand into a comprehensive electrical appliance retail business.

The opening of the first branch in Tokyo is just a preliminary plan, and we will add more electrical products in the future.

Expand the sales area and accelerate the expansion plan of the branch.

Your company's Flashman is very attractive, and we are willing to promote it vigorously.

We can even take on the role of distributor to supply electrical retail stores in Gunma Prefecture and its surrounding towns and beyond. ”

Looking at Ryuji Arai, who was talking eloquently, Shirakawa Kaede did not express his position first.

Instead, he asked rhetorically, "How does Arai-san know about our Shirakawa Electric's Flashman?" ”
