March and April of each year are the financial closing months for most companies in Japan, and the same is true for Shirakawa Electric.

However, due to the investment in increasing production in the previous year, the amount of real profit was almost non-existent, and even a loan from the bank was made.

So apart from some necessary taxes, Shirakawa does not have much tax burden.

However, in addition to financial settlements, March and April are also graduation seasons. Now Kaede Shirakawa has also been promoted to a junior student.

Speaking of his current name, it was definitely famous in the Meiji era.

Maybe some people have never heard of Takeshi Kitano or Yamashitoro, but they have definitely heard of the name of Kaede Shirakawa.

Some time ago, there was a lot of excitement in the newspapers about the infringement incident, and the face that Shirakawa Kaede showed on the news program.

all made his name spread quickly all over the campus, after all, it was out of reach compared to the entertainment circle.

What happened around me seemed a little more real, and more importantly, Shirakawa Kaede was still reading!

A student who is studying quietly became the president of a club?

And it's an independent business, not a family business, or just a shell company gimmick.

Even many students on campus are using the Walkman produced by Shirakawa Electric, after all, the price is much cheaper and closer to the people.

Many students looked at the Walkman in their hands and felt that it was a little unreal.

The already well-known founder of Shirakawa Electric, who is in the same school as me? And maybe it's in the next building now?

As a result, many students couldn't sit still and inquired about the location and time of classes in the Department of Business Administration, just to see the legendary president.

Then one day, a certain business administration student who fished for three days and dried nets for two days was almost treated like a giant panda when he came to school.

Finally, with the assistance of the school staff, he left the scene. By the time it was quiet, Shirakawa Kaede had a thick stack of envelopes in his arms.

Looking at the covers and fonts of various kawaii, you don't have to guess what the contents are.

After meeting a real person and satisfying the curiosity in their hearts, everyone's enthusiasm for this Meiji legendary student decreased slightly.

For Shirakawa Kaede, although he was treated as a cherished animal and watched once, this also brought another benefit to him or Shirakawa Electric.

In today's graduation season, there are obviously a lot more students who choose to come to Shirakawa Electric for internship.

Especially in the clerical management category, Shirakawa Electric's job talent pool was filled up in an instant.

Moreover, because the East Institute of Technology is in the honeymoon period of cooperation with each other, Shirakawa Kaede, a science and engineering talent, has also won some.

Although these students have just graduated and have relatively little experience, as long as they practice for a few years, they will become the backbone of Shirakawa Electric.

The reason why Shirakawa Electric's recruitment this year is so smooth is inseparable from its gradually revealing reputation.

Sure enough, after the club became a little famous, it was much easier to tap talents.

Of course, the premise is that the fame is positive, not plagiarized on the back.

It is said that Senior Brother Nakajima is having a headache at the moment for Aihua's annual recruitment.

Tsk, the old man resigns, and the newcomer doesn't come, it's really a bit difficult.

Shirakawa Feng smacked his mouth, took a sip of coffee, and began to look down at Shirakawa Electric's latest financial report.

Since January this year, sales of Walkman have steadily increased.

Basically, Shirakawa Electric ships more than 100,000 units every month, and the net profit alone is as high as 8900 million yen per month.

The reason why it can maintain such a rapid growth is that the gap in the market and further excavation is a major reason.

However, the absence of other competitors is another necessary factor.

In the current Walkman market, Sony accounts for sixty percent, and the rest is basically won by Shirakawa Electric.

Such a large market share is only divided between two companies, which is almost equivalent to a semi-monopoly.

What's more important is that this cake is still being made bigger, for the profit in it.

Shirakawa Kaede can only say one word, fragrant! It's so fragrant!

In commercial competition, the patent moat is indeed a means of dimensionality reduction.

But unfortunately, there is also a limited period for such a method, and next year Shirakawa Kaede can already imagine what kind of melee situation the Walkman market will be.

But that's all for later, for now, let's lie down and earn money.

Shirakawa Feng glanced at the financial report in his hand and secretly estimated it.

The funds that can be used by Baichuan Electric on the books have reached tens of billions.

Of course, this does not mean that all the money belongs to him, and there are also the balance of raw materials and various costs that have not been excluded.

However, most of this belongs to working capital, and Shirakawa Electric can be used directly.

With money, Shirakawa Kaede began to think about spending money again.

Perhaps the new site and the headquarters of Shirakawa Electric can be considered.

When it comes to land assets, Shirakawa Kaede's idea is very simple, start as soon as you can, and never delay.

Every time it drags on for a year, the total price rises by a little more than 10%.

If it is a large land transaction, there is a difference of more than one billion yuan.

So don't hesitate, when you have money, you will solve these two just need real estate first.

"President"

Just when Shirakawa Kaede was thinking about spending money, Assistant Komatsu at the door suddenly knocked on the door and interrupted his thoughts.

"Huh?" Shirakawa Kaede looked up.

"That Kimura-san is here again..."

Brush, before Assistant Komatsu's words were finished, a figure rushed in.

Before Shirakawa Kaede could react, the figure had already arrived at the desk.

"Plop" a muffled sound, "Shirakawa-san, please save Kimura Works." ”

After speaking, Kimura Eiji lowered his upper body and touched the ground with his forehead, waiting for his hair without saying a word.

Shirakawa Kaede glanced towards the door and motioned for the stunned assistant Komatsu to step back first.

After the office door was closed, Shirakawa Kaede got up from behind his desk.

looked at this Kimura-san, who was almost in the age of sixties, kneeling straight in front of him and bowing down to the earth.

Shirakawa Kaede's heart was also touched by a little touch, but it was only for a moment, and he hardened his heart again.

"Kimura-san, why is this so."

Eiji Kimura raised his head tremblingly, "Shirakawa-san, Kimura is finished!" ”

After saying this, Eiji Kimura actually knelt on the ground and cried.

At this time, he no longer had the shrewd and generous appearance when Shirakawa Kaede first saw him.

Not only is the hair thinning, but most of it has been dyed white. On the cheeks, the red light disappeared and wrinkles appeared.

A pair of eyes are not only restricted, but now they are full of tears. The hoarse voice is like the cry of an old crow, and it is deafening to the ears.

Looking at his tearful appearance, Shirakawa Kaede sighed deeply.

After all, he was still a little soft-hearted, so he wanted to reach out and help him up.

However, Eiji Kimura knelt on the ground and didn't get up, "Shirakawa-san, please be sure to save Kimura Production, please." ”

After speaking, Eiji Kimura bowed down again and kowtowed.

It's no wonder that Eiji Kimura was so desperate at this time, and now his Kimura Works is also famous.

Just two weeks ago, the outside world made an announcement at the same time because of Aihua, Shirakawa Electric, and Sony, thinking that this turmoil was officially over.

A "declassified" article in "Weekly Bunharu" completely pushed Kimura Manufacturing and Oda Manufacturing to the forefront.

The article tells in detail how Aihua got the whole process of the circuit design drawing of Shirakawa Electric.

The narration perspective is as if the main writer was present at the scene.

It is said that this is the exact news from Aihua insiders, and the fidelity rate is 100 percent.

Through this article, people also learned how Shirakawa lost its technical drawings and how Aihua plagiarized.

The whole story has ups and downs, and it is much more interesting than the regular reports in the newspapers.

And there is no doubt in the whole incident that Oda Productions and Kimura Productions definitely helped a lot.

As a result, Kimura Works, which was already famous for newspapers, completely collapsed in this area of credibility.

The customer's top-secret technical information cannot be protected, who dares to ask you for OEM.

In less than a day after the release of "Weekly Bunchun", all orders for Kimura's production were cut.

Not only were orders cut, but complaints were made one after another.

The moment he saw the magazine report, Eiji Kimura knew that Kimura Manufacturing was finished.

Such detailed inside information, if you are not a person who has experienced it, will definitely not know it so clearly.

Even he himself read the content of the article to find out what was going on at Oda Works.

Not to mention the scolding of Jun Oda in his heart, Eiji Kimura is still dying.

I called the previous customers one by one to explain, but the results were all rejected without exception.

In just two days, Kimura Manufacturing has already been completed. The workers in the workshop had nothing to do all day, and even cleaned up several times.

A week later, the situation was still getting worse, and Eiji Kimura knew that if he didn't think about it, Kimura Manufacturing wouldn't last long.

Moreover, the daimyo of the club will definitely be thunderous in the industry circle, and there will be no more customer orders.

So who can solve Kimura's current dilemma?

Eiji Kimura once again bowed deeply to the young man in front of him.

"Shirakawa-san, as long as you can save Kimura Works, any contemptible person can consider it."

Any conditions? Shirakawa Kaede was stunned for a moment, it seemed that the situation at Kimura Manufacturing was worse than expected.

"Kimura-san, let's get up first" has already been expressed in this attitude, and there is no need to keep it like this.

Eiji Kimura didn't get Shirakawa Kaede's assurance, and he was still a little unwilling.

"Even if you talk about things, you can't be here."

Shirakawa Kaede glanced at the smooth floor under his feet and signaled that this was not a good place to discuss things.

Hearing Shirakawa Kaede talk about things, Kimura Eiji was in good spirits, is there a door?

So he stopped being coy, got up quickly and came to the sofa, and sat opposite Shirakawa Kaede after bowing and signaling.

"Shirakawa-san, as long as you can save Kimura Production, all conditions can be discussed."

Before Shirakawa Kaede could speak, Eiji Kimura had already gritted his teeth to show his attitude first.

Because Kimura Manufacturing has really reached the point of desperation, the OEM industry is different from the consumer side for the masses.

It deals with entities related to the industry, and if there is such a thing as a leak of technical data, it will almost definitely enter the blacklist.

In that case, there will be no more clubs looking for you to process on your behalf, and technical data is the lifeblood of an enterprise.

In particular, once the core technology flows out, it will be almost a fatal blow to the club.

After all, not every time you borrow it, you can copied the logo by chance.

So the moment the name of Kimura was revealed, it was almost doomed.

"Kimura-san, have you really considered what kind of conditions you will accept?" Shirakawa Kaede looked at Eiji Kimura with burning eyes.
