"Takagi-san, let's also make our own Walkman!"

Yusuke Miribe's words made Takagi directly stunned.

Soon, though, Takagi became excited again. That's right, why listen to Sony in everything, my godson can't Lao Tzu?

"President, I support you!" Takagi has long been unhappy with Sony.

Relying on himself to be a major shareholder, the board members sent by Sony to sit in Aihua are commanding every day, and they have added to Takagi.

"By the way, President, what do you think this is?" As he spoke, Takagi took out a stack of materials from his briefcase as if offering a treasure.

"Huh?" Yusuke Mitsube took the information and looked at it twice, and his eyes immediately widened.

"This is..., Flashman's circuit design drawing?!" Yusuke Miabe turned to look at Takagi in disbelief.

A company's technical drawings are the most top-secret information, and they will never be leaked under normal circumstances.

Although it was only a design drawing for the circuit part, it was still difficult for Yusuke Mitsube to understand how Takagi could have such a thing.

Takagi smirked twice, and then told the story of what he had seen and heard in Oda.

For his own president's thoughts on the Walkman, Takagi also knows it.

When he heard Jun Oda talking about the Walkman, he immediately got his mind up.

As a result, I didn't expect that the process was simpler than I imagined.

Originally, he only planned to see what the circuit design of this Shirakawa Electric was like, after all, he also knew a little about this part of the knowledge.

But the pile of bright drawings placed not far away is too dazzling.

If God doesn't take it, you will be blamed for it.

So Takagi took advantage of the fact that no one was present and took a detailed look at the technical drawings of Shirakawa Electric. I also used the pen and paper I carried with me to copy the details of the key parts.

After listening to Takagi's description, Yusuke Miribe smiled dumbly, this is really... God help me.

"Our Aihua Walkman will soon be ready for production." Yusuke Miabe patted the drawings in his hand and laughed inexplicably.

"What do you mean, President?" Takagi's eyes began to flicker again.

"Hmph" Yusuke Miabe sneered directly, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

He doesn't even care about Sony's Walkman licensing now, and will he care about the infringement of a small company with a small name?

"Change the circuit diagram a little, change the electronic components, as long as it's not too obvious."

"Hai" Takagi seconds understood.

As a peer, it's easy to deal with this.

And he also knows how to avoid the risk of plagiarism.

"By the way, in the future, the OEM of mid-to-high-end products will exclude Oda Production and Kimura Production."

"Huh?" Takagi was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately. "Understood."

Even the customer's technical information can be leaked out so hastily, such a club can not consider the possibility of cooperation in the future.

And the reason why Yusuke Mitsube planned to use Shirakawa Electric's circuit design directly is because he doesn't want to wait.

On Sony's side, he had run out of patience, watching the Walkman make a lot of money, more uncomfortable than his own Aihua losing money.

If it's going to be redesigned, I don't know when it's going to be. It will take a few months to say less, and it is only right to enter the market as soon as possible to make money.

He doesn't believe that Sony owns more than half of Aihua's shares and will personally sue his godson?

Infringement is infringement, and it's a big deal to bow and apologize to Sony's board of directors when the time comes.

Thinking of this, Yusuke Miabe suddenly felt a sense of ease in his thoughts.

Sure enough, if you want to make money, you don't have to pay attention to your face.

…

Akihabara.

"The pink Flashman is out of stock again? Didn't you say last week that it would arrive today? ”

Two girls are holding hands, informing the clerk at a street appliance retail store.

Before the clerk could answer, the owner of the retail store had already walked out.

He waved his hand and sighed helplessly, "There will be no flashman here in the future, you can go to another house to have a look." ”

"Eh" The two girls looked at each other, not understanding what was happening.

The boss shook his head and didn't explain much, after all, the product that sold just right suddenly couldn't be sold, and no one could be happy.

The two girls looked at each other, and they had no choice but to try their luck at a large chain store.

However, the flashman there is a little more expensive than the one in the retail store outside, and it doesn't come with a storage case.

But it can't be helped, the pink flashman is really cute. Whoever owns it is the most popular girl in the class.

…

Shirakawa Electric.

A week has passed again, and this week has been as Shirakawa Kaede had guessed.

A succession of small retailers called to cancel orders, and some medium-sized channels have made similar requests in the past two days.

Flashman is still being shipped in a steady stream on the market, and young people still like its small fashion.

However, if you are careful, you will notice that the number of shops selling Flashman that used to be ubiquitous seems to be decreasing.

No, to be precise, there are fewer and fewer stores that put Flashman in a prominent position now.

What's more, some electrical retailers stop buying them after they run out. If there is an inquiry from a consumer, they will all answer that they are out of stock.

As a result, those who want to buy Flashman can only gradually concentrate on large electrical appliance chains such as Tomoto Baxi or Yamada Electric.

The undercurrent outside is turbulent, and it seems that it has not yet reached Shirakawa Electric.

The workshop is still busy, but the scene of overloading has disappeared from the previous three shifts day and night.

Occasionally, the employees can stop and rest for a while, and Kazuo Yamaguchi no longer pushes them to produce all the time.

At this moment, in the president's office, Kaede Shirakawa is checking the number of orders for the latest week.

This week, Flashman sold only 7,000 units, and compared to the popularity of the New Year, the sales drop is very obvious.

In addition to the fact that the enthusiasm for consumption after the New Year has decreased, the narrowing of sales channels is also a major reason.

And in addition to the impact of sales, the backlog of orders during the New Year has also been significantly reduced.

According to preliminary statistics, at least a third of the orders in Shirakawa's hands have disappeared.

And that's just the beginning, and the further down there it gets, the harder it gets.

Therefore, in order to reduce the risk, the capacity of the workshop is no longer full. The stock reserves in the warehouse have also been slowly reduced to a low level.

Shirakawa Kaede is not sure when the action of Hasegawa's sinking market will take effect, so he can only delay as much as possible.

In fact, many retailers outside are also waiting to see how Shirakawa Electric will respond.

After all, the popularity of Flashman during the Chinese New Year is obvious to all as channel providers.

If Shirakawa Electric can deal with it properly, who wants to put a lot of money and not make money.

Besides, Sony only gave them a deadline, and it wasn't about stopping Flashman sales immediately.

But if Shirakawa Electric collapses, then they will not hesitate to fall to Sony.

Once this trend is formed, it is conceivable that Shirakawa Electric's shipping channels will collapse completely, and the consequences will be... The consequence was the fate of being acquired by Sony.

So don't look at the workers in the workshop and don't notice it, but in the office, Shirakawa Kaede is already tired.

The pressure is all the time, and if the problem of the channel is not solved, he will not be able to sleep with peace of mind.

Seeing his haggard appearance, Asuka Kobayashi bit her lip with a tangled gaze, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Jingle Bell"

The sound of the phone lifted Shirakawa Kaede's spirits, and he quickly picked up the phone.

"Hai,..., thank you for your previous care, Shirakawa Electric will solve the problem properly, please rest assured..."

Hanging up the phone, Shirakawa Kaede's brows furrowed even deeper.

"Shirakawa-kun, are you alright?" Asuka Kobayashi looked at him with concern.

Shirakawa Kaede shook his head and said with a smile, "It's okay."

Where it's okay, it's a big deal.

It was the person who just called, and the other party signaled openly and secretly.

Because of Sony's pressure, if Shirakawa Electric can't come up with any more solutions.

Then they also have to take care of Sony's face, maybe they will have to cut the order.

Not only that, but they are also persuading Shirakawa Kaede to try their best to coordinate the relationship with Sony, and it is better to cooperate than to go bankrupt.

Shirakawa Kaede didn't know if Sony was behind his back, but he knew that if he didn't come up with a short-term feasible plan, then Shirakawa Electric would be really dangerous.

Hasegawa had already led people to open the channel from south to north, and the people from BIC Camera followed up as Shirakawa Kaede had guessed.

But in the short term, the effect is almost invisible. It will take half a month to a month at the earliest to achieve initial results, and it is estimated that the daylily will be cold by then.

Shirakawa Kaede was even thinking about whether to continue to increase the share of retail stores to win them over.

But this way of drinking water to quench thirst is not a last resort.

Once used, all the products of Shirakawa Electric will be passive in the future.

"President, someone from the Keio Group has come to visit." Assistant Komatsu panted and stood at the door to report.

"Huh?" Kaede Shirakawa stood up in surprise.

——

Ahem, let's discuss amicably, don't quarrel.

Thank you all for your support!
