Chapter 176: Peak Loop?

The reason why this Delmonico trading company dared to place such a large order with Shirakawa Electric at one time.

A large part of the reason is that they have already been exposed to Sony's Walkman, and they are also one of Sony's underwriters.

In the past week, the reviews of the Walkman have become more and more positive, and if the company's internal predictions are correct, this portable music player will soon become popular.

It just so happened that at this time, under the leadership of the Electronics Industry Promotion Association, Dellmonico came into contact with Shirakawa Electric.

When they got their hands on the prototype of Shirakawa, they immediately realized that it was a competitor to the Sony Walkman.

And it will also be a strong competitor, because although Shirakawa Electric is a latecomer, they have a much richer model than Sony.

The most important thing is that they are cheap! And beautiful!

Consumers all over the world do not dislike high-quality and low-cost goods, and although the living standards of the people of the United States are among the highest in the world, they also like cheap goods.

You Sony $199 stuff, I can buy it for $149 or even $109, why choose yours.

So Dale Monico, who was moved, immediately expressed his willingness to cooperate with Hasegawa.

But as a capitalist businessman of pure blood, how could Delmonico be content to play the role of mere underwriter.

After learning about the background of Shirakawa Electric, he immediately put forward a cooperation request for OEM processing.

As a multinational company that has developed for decades, Dellmonico can only be an honest channel provider.

But Shirakawa Electric is different, it is too young and too weak.

Delmonico thinks that such a huge order of 600,000 units is absolutely impossible for a small company like Shirakawa Electric to refuse.

And 600,000 seems to be a lot, but it still can't make a splash in the United States.

What's more, Dellmonico is an international trading company, and their sales channels are all over the world.

This amount of orders is not even drizzle. When the Walkman really becomes popular, it may be digested in a month.

600,000 units, it is indeed a temptation that is difficult to refuse, Shirakawa Kaede looked at the letter of intent in front of him and fell into a deep struggle.

Agree to Delmonico's request, win this order, and make a one-time net profit of 20 billion yen?

Or do you still visit supermarket chains one by one and wait for the outcome of the negotiations with unknown results?

Bai Chuanfeng raised his head and looked at the people sitting in a circle, some of them had heart-warming looks on their faces, and some of them had expressionless faces and couldn't see whether they agreed or not.

"President..."

“Boss…”

At this time, Hasegawa and Ullis spoke at the same time, and Shirakawa Kaede's eyes turned to them.

Hasegawa moved his lips and finally said nothing.

As for Ullis, he shrugged, "I support any decision you make, Boss."

Kaede Shirakawa smiled and nodded at them, then he turned his gaze to Asuka Kobayashi.

He was still greeted by a gentle, affirmative gaze.

Shirakawa Kaede breathed a sigh of relief, it was really a blessing for Shirakawa Electric to have such a team.

"Push down Delmonico's request for cooperation."

When everyone was looking at Shirakawa Kaede, waiting for him to make a final decision, he finally gave the final answer.

As soon as Shirakawa Kaede's words fell, everyone breathed a sigh of relief whether they agreed with it or not.

"Do you remember when Shirakawa Electric was founded, everyone's vision for the future?

If Shirakawa Electric wants to become an enterprise that represents technology, innovation and advancement, then it is necessary to ensure the independence of our brand.

OEM production for others, although you can take shortcuts.

But if that's the case, Shirakawa Electric will always be a local club.

The international stage is so colorful, don't you want to see it? ”

"President" Hasegawa stood up excitedly and wanted to say something, but in the end he just clenched his fists and waved fiercely, "daddy".

"daddy!" Everyone tacitly encouraged each other.

Shirakawa Kaede's words completely ignited everyone's ambition.

They have traveled thousands of miles to the other side of the ocean, and what they have done until now.

Isn't it all about letting the name 'Shirakawa Electric' take root and blossom everywhere in the country?

A multinational company, a multinational company that represents scientific and technological innovation and is recognized by consumers all over the world, is the direction of everyone's efforts.

Sony is not only the target of Shirakawa Electric in neon soil, but also the opponent who wants to compete on the world stage.

If Shirakawa Kaede agrees to Delmonico's request for cooperation, he will become his OEM producer.

To some extent, Shirakawa has lost its qualification to shine on the international stage.

If Shirakawa Kaede only wants to make money, then such a choice is understandable.

But as a person who has come from the beginning of his life, he always has the urge to 'make some fame' in his heart.

After all, he comes from the future, and it shouldn't be difficult to make money, but people always have to pursue it a little.

Now that it has been decided to push off Dellmonico's request for cooperation, the question is back to square one, how to open up the market in North America for Shirakawa Electric's Walkman.

After some discussion, it was decided to continue with the previous strategy.

Hasegawa is in charge of reaching out to distributors led by the Electronics Industry Promotion Association, which may not be large.

But if it is taken down, it can also have a certain influence among several cities.

No matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, and it is a good choice to accumulate a little reputation for Shirakawa Electric first.

As for Shirakawa Kaede, tomorrow he and Ullis are going to visit the next supermarket chain, Target.

This is the second largest retail department store in the United States after Wal-Mart, although it has just been established for more than ten years, it is much younger than Wal-Mart.

But its supermarket chain has spread all over the United States.

If Shirakawa Electric successfully settles in, the effect is not necessarily worse than Wal-Mart.

While Kaede Shirakawa and Ullis were studying Target's message, a long-distance phone call from Neon Native made him feel anxious again.

Hanging up the phone, Bai Chuanfeng rubbed his eyebrows in annoyance, everything came together.

"What's wrong?" Asuka Kobayashi gently brought a cup of coffee to him.

"Thank you" Shirakawa Kaede took a sip of coffee before letting out a long breath.

"The prototype of the first handheld at HAL has come out, and we are waiting for me to go back and finalize it."

Since the last time he handed over the task, the busy Shirakawa Kaede even forgot that it was time to produce results on the handheld.

Now Satoshi Iwata and Tanimura are waiting for him to go back and accept their achievements over the past month.

If there is no problem, it is only right to put Shirakawa Electric's handheld into the market as soon as possible.

At this time, Shirakawa Kaede is still on the other side of the ocean, and it is still necessary to say whether he can be contacted, which can make Iwata Satoshi and them anxious.

So I found the contact information of the Mi Guo branch from the Shirakawa Electric headquarters, and after several rounds, I successfully made the call here.

In fact, not only they are anxious, but even Shirakawa Kaede himself is also anxious.

The next step in the future layout of Shirakawa Electric must be checked by him personally to rest assured.

The development of the rice market is undoubtedly equally important, and it even determines the upper limit of Shirakawa Electric in the future to some extent.

Shirakawa Kaede, who was a little bored in his heart, got up and unbuttoned the neckline of his clothes casually, wandering left and right in the office.

Is it to go back first to determine the final version of the handheld and put it on the market as soon as possible? Or continue to knock those chain supermarkets here in the United States?

If you return to China at this time, I don't know when the next progress will be in the affairs of the United States.

"Don't worry, you're the president."

Taking advantage of Shirakawa Kaede's pause to rest, Asuka Kobayashi walked up to him and rebuttoned the untied neckline for him.

Watching her slowly tidy up her clothes, Shirakawa Kaede's irritable heart relaxed inexplicably.

"It's rude," Shirakawa Kaede smiled embarrassedly at her.

Asuka Kobayashi shook her head, "You've done well enough. ”

Shirakawa Kaede sighed as if relieved, "Anyway, let's wait until tomorrow to meet Target first." ”

If everything goes well, it is naturally best, if the progress is still slow, then Shirakawa Kaede can only fly back to the neon first and decide the matter of the handheld as soon as possible.

As for the rice market, it can only be handed over to Hasegawa and Ullis first.

The next day, Shirakawa Kaede and Ullis regrouped their spirits and prepared to continue to attack the second largest retailer in the United States, Target.

However, before Shirakawa Kaede went out, an unexpected call completely disrupted his schedule.

"You're... James? Shirakawa Kaede listened to some familiar words on the phone, and was a little unsure.

"Of course, man, you won't have forgotten about me in such a short period of time." James' voice was still full of enthusiasm.

"Not really, it's just some... Suddenly. How's it going, James? ”

Although he was in a hurry to go out, since the calls came, Shirakawa Kaede politely asked about his current situation.

"Excellent, man. Especially the Flashman you gave me, oh my! I love it so much!

In addition to driving, I even want to take it with me to sleep. White, I said it would be the greatest invention of the 20th century. ”

On the phone, James gushed praise for how great the Walkman Shirakawa Kaede gave him was, and how he was fascinated by it.

"It's good to like it, but James, I'm honestly a bit busy right now. So..."

If he is free, Shirakawa Kaede can still chat with him. But at the moment, Yuris was outside the office door, gesturing at his wrist.

If you don't depart, you're likely to miss your appointment time in Target.

"Hey, man, wait a minute. I know you're going to be busy as the boss of a company.

But are you sure you don't want to hear what I'm going to say next? That's probably a lot of business. ”

Well? Shirakawa Feng just wanted to say something to refuse, but he swallowed it again.

"James, you're saying there's business to talk to me? Uh, sorry, you know I just arrived in Los Angeles.

I'm busy with the company, but the business..."

If he's not mistaken, James was a freight driver.

This... He really couldn't imagine what business the other party and Shirakawa Electric could do.

"Of course, I understand. But it's not me who wants to talk to you about business, it's someone else. ”

James was very honest and said that there were other people who were talking about business.

"Others?" Kaede Shirakawa had a question mark on his face.

——

Honestly, I don't think I'm writing any nonsense.

To be a man is to speak of conscience, big men ()

And it's already consciously speeding up the pace.
