Chapter 130: One after another
After returning to his alma mater, Shirakawa Kaede not only found a backer for himself, but also laid out the future industrial development in advance.
He knew very well in his heart that in an environment like neon, the future prospects of relying on himself alone could be said to be very limited.
As Professor Yamada said, the development process of a company affects its employees first, then the local community, and then society.
In such a step-by-step process, enterprises are bound to integrate themselves more thoroughly, and the fetters on their bodies will be woven more and more finely.
In such a situation, it is impossible to influence all aspects of society without the help of group interests.
In the final analysis, it is still to blame on "people" and "interests".
However, whether it is the current Shirakawa Feng or Shirakawa Electric, they have not yet come to this point, and the first thing to do now is to strengthen themselves.
As for the future, let's wait for the future.
Patents and industry-university-research, these things have settled one by one, and Shirakawa Kaede has also returned to Shirakawa Electric again.
Although he is still a student at Meiji University, he has been on Shirakawa Electric for far more time than Meiji.
Especially after this meeting with Professor Yamada, other course teachers in the school now almost avoid his name in class roll calls.
Shirakawa Kaede didn't know if this was what Professor Yamada meant, or if it was the school's meaning.
But now that the door of convenience has been opened, he won't be stupid and pretend to be reserved.
After all, for him now, knowledge is secondary, and connections are the first.
The context of interpersonal relationships has become clearer, so it doesn't matter if the business administration curriculum is put on the back burner.
In the production hall of Shirakawa Electric, the scene of people coming and going is even busier than it was a year ago.
At this time, the second production line of the Walkman has been completed, and the third production line is also in full swing.
Because of the increase in manpower, the total number of employees of Shirakawa Electric has exceeded 300, which has tripled compared with the previous year.
As long as Flashman's production capacity can't keep up with the demand for a day, the pace of expansion will not stop.
The Bank of Japan's first 100 million yen loan is almost spent, and Flashman's sales proceeds will not be received until at least next month.
If the funds are tight again, Shirakawa Kaede can only urge the review of the second loan.
So sometimes calculated, the upfront investment of the industry is really a gold-swallowing beast.
Tens of millions of dollars of funds are thrown in, and it is not certain whether there will be a return. Even if there are payoffs, the cycle is long.
It may be that many companies have not waited for that day to fall into the darkness before dawn.
But fortunately, the future of Shirakawa Electric is bright, not only Shirakawa Kaede thinks so, but everyone at Shirakawa Electric thinks so.
"President Shirakawa, it seems that the pass rate of circuit boards provided by Kimura Manufacturing has dropped significantly recently."
Just as Shirakawa Kaede was looking at his crops, Kazuo Yamaguchi came over with a circuit board.
"Huh?" Shirakawa Kaede stopped, "Tell me more." ”
"If you look at the printed circuits on the circuit board, there are places where the green paint layer is noticeably thinner.
When the employee paints and cleans the assembly process, he can even directly brush out the copper wire circuit under the paint. ”
Kazuo Yamaguchi held the circuit board and pointed to a piece of exposed yellow metal for Shirakawa Kaede.
Sure enough, Shirakawa Kaede scraped it with his fingers, and the scratches were clearly left on the exposed part of the circuit board.
His face turned serious, "Immediately notify the people of Kimura Productions and ask them to give an explanation."
In addition, the quality inspection of circuit boards is no longer sampling, but is replaced by a full batch of piece-by-piece inspection.
We must not allow any problematic product to flow to the market. ”
"Hay!" Kazuo Yamaguchi also knew the seriousness of the matter once flashman had quality problems.
Then the future of Shirakawa Electric may be over, because at this time Flashman is its only fist product.
It can be said that it is both a glory and a loss.
"How long has this been going on?" Shirakawa Kaede continued to understand the situation as he walked towards the conference room.
"I've had similar issues reported by employees since yesterday, and two more employees have found the same problem today."
As the head of the manufacturing department for decades, Kazuo Yamaguchi is old-fashioned.
But his meticulousness is also an indispensable quality in the production process of the product.
For any piece of bad, he will not let go easily.
Hearing that it was the first time that the problem occurred yesterday, Shirakawa Kaede was also relieved.
"Yesterday's finished products were all reworked and inspected, and I will ask Hasegawa-san to explain the sales channel.
The examination must be careful, but it is only one day, is there a problem? ”
Kazuo Yamaguchi gritted his teeth, "Please rest assured, no problem, president!" ”
Kazuo Yamaguchi made up his mind that he really couldn't pull the person who made the headphones over to replace him temporarily.
After all, the production of headphones is high, and the current inventory can still cope with it.
In addition, compared to Flashman, the value of headphones is also much lower, which is more important at a glance.
"Okay" Shirakawa Kaede nodded, "Thirty minutes later, I'm going to have a meeting to discuss it together." ”
"Understood," Kazuo Yamaguchi nodded in agreement.
"President, President! It's coming, it's coming! ”
At this moment, Hasegawa suddenly took a document and trotted all the way.
"What's the matter?" Shirakawa Kaede, who had just encountered a product quality problem, had a serious face, and he didn't have the heart to joke with him anymore.
"Uh" Hasegawa put away the excitement on his face, and handed the document in his hand to Shirakawa Kaede with a worried expression, "It's Sony's note." ”
Sure enough, Shirakawa Kaede was stunned.
He took the document and looked at it in detail, and it was roughly Sony asked Shirakawa Electric to hold a note to negotiate the infringement.
"Got it, according to the other party's time, we will go to the appointment on time." Shirakawa Kaede quietly returned the document to Hasegawa.
"Hai" Hasegawa took the document, with a rejuvenated look on his face, he had long thought that he would meet the legendary Sony.
Looking at Hasegawa's back as he left in a hurry, Shirakawa Kaede sighed in his heart.
It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and Shirakawa Electric just got on the right track, and things came one after another.
However, Sony's official note was also expected by him. After all, calculating the time, both sides are almost ready.
And Sony did not directly sue at the first time, which is also in line with Professor Muto's prediction.
After all, Sony is a multinational company, and it is impossible for it to ignore overseas markets.
If the identities are reversed, don't think about it, at this time, there will already be lawsuits flying all over the sky.
Since it is a means of negotiation as an initial attempt, Shirakawa Kaede has a rough idea of Sony's attitude towards this matter.
In this case, his next plan can also be planned.
Of course, Shirakawa Electric is also reluctant to go to Sony's negotiation invitation, although Shirakawa Kaede is not afraid of Sony's difficulties, but he is not reckless enough to take the initiative to jump face with Sony.
He still has the tacit understanding that should be there. Since he wanted to limit the issue to the negotiating table, it was more in line with his wishes.
After thinking about it carefully, Shirakawa Kaede felt that Professor Muto Kiyoshi might have been notified as well.
The battle flag has been erected and is ready to go.
——
Slowly, I'm a little too tired, and I need to leave some time to check the information
Looking back, a lot of details were forgotten to write. The notes left by the previous checks were not used
Catch up with everyone's support!
