Abe Shin, a native of Antlers City. He graduated from Kyushu University in 1943 and began his political career at the Akita Prefectural Office in '48.

As of this year, he has spent the 37th year of his political life in Antlers.

The chairman of the agricultural department, the mayor of Hanawa Town, the head of the local economic division, and so on.

This year is also the second time he has served as the mayor of Antler City, and at the age of 61, he is kneeling respectfully in front of Shirakawa Kaede.

"Shirakawa-san, are you really planning to open a branch of Shirakawa Electric in Antlercho?"

To be honest, when Abe Shin heard the news from the Agricultural Cooperative, his first reaction was that it was a rumor.

With the size and market target of Shirakawa Electric, it should not look down on a place like Antler City.

Even if its founder was born with antlers and grew up in antlers.

After all, it is the nature of capital to pursue profits.

As the mayor, Abe Shin has seen too many such things.

And a place like Antlers..., there's really nothing attractive about it.

However, yesterday Shirakawa Kaede took the initiative to make a phone call, which made him completely uneasy.

So today, despite the heavy snow outside, he couldn't wait, and the people from the Agricultural Association came to visit together.

"Abe-san, I was born and raised here.

If he can make some contribution to the development of his hometown, then Shirakawa is naturally obliged. ”

Well, Shirakawa Kaede's generous statement made Abe Shin, who had slandered him yesterday, blush.

"The high festival of Shirakawa-san is impressive." While the older Abe Shin was ashamed, he simply bowed down again.

"Abe-san, it doesn't have to be this way." Shirakawa Kaede stretched out his hand and helped him.

Abe Shin, who got up, raised his head and stared at Shirakawa Kaede with burning eyes.

"Shirakawa-san, I don't know what your plans are for the branch, Antlers will definitely go all out."

Abe Shin has already planned it, as long as Shirakawa Electric can come. Then the antlers will give the land, and the people will give it.

As for the headphone branch, Shirakawa Kaede also has some stomach cases in his stomach.

So he added the details that he had discussed with the head of Fujiyama Village before, and explained it to Abe Shin again.

Roughly the branch factory here has five production lines.

Because the production of headphones is relatively difficult, the monthly output scale is very considerable, so it is not necessary to have more.

Including the production capacity in Tokyo, it should be able to meet the market demand.

In addition, Shirakawa Kaede's plan is to use the headphones produced in Tokyo exclusively for export to overseas markets.

It happens to be close to Kawasaki Port, so it is very convenient to exit.

As for the headphones produced here by Antlers, they are used to meet the local market demand.

The antlers are located inland in the northeast, and can be shipped to Aomori and Hokkaido to the north.

To the south, you can also use Akita Port to transport cargo to Fukuoka and Hyogo.

Inland you can reach major metropolitan areas such as Fukushima, Tochigi, and Tokyo.

All in all, it is very convenient in transportation without any problems.

Even compared to the original Tokyo factory, the Antlers factory will greatly reduce both labor and transportation costs in the future.

This is also the reason why many large companies have moved their factories out of Tokyo.

Unless necessary, sub-cities have an advantage, both in terms of labor and policy.

Reducing production costs is always the top priority to consider in the process of business operation.

Although there are only five production lines for the time being, Abe Shin listened to it and was overjoyed.

There are only workshop workers in the five production lines, and there must be hundreds of people.

Counting other departments, more than five or six hundred people should not be a big problem.

Five or six hundred people, so many jobs, it's a super gift package for Antler City.

You have to know how many people are there in the entire Antler City at this time?

In 1980, the total population of Lujiao City was about 50,000 people.

Eliminate the old people and children who have no labor, and the peasants who are tied up by the land.

Five or six hundred people can already solve the employment problem of most of the unemployed population in the center of Antlers.

Yes, although the population of Antlers City is small, there is no shortage of young people who spend their days loitering.

Most of them have little education and are reluctant to leave their hometowns and go to big cities to work hard.

As a result, they can only stay in the local area to do some temporary work, or simply stay at home to gnaw on the elderly, or wander the streets in groups.

However, if Shirakawa Electric has a branch plant, then the situation will be greatly improved.

Not only does it solve the employment problem of the unemployed, but also those young people who originally planned to leave their hometowns in Northeast China will also stay and continue to contribute to the development of antlers.

Therefore, Abe Shin's mood at the moment is not to mention how excited he is, and he will be able to provide so many jobs in the early stage.

So after a period of development, wouldn't the scale be more gratifying?

The number of people who are employed by the factories is not only directly provided with jobs.

The incidental economic effect should not be underestimated.

When workers have an income, they will naturally consume it. Then even other industries with antlers will develop.

You see, although it is only a small branch factory, for Antler City, it is to revitalize the city's economy.

"Shirakawa-san, the other contemptible people don't dare to guarantee it.

But in the future, Shirakawa Electric will be the business card enterprise of Antler City, and all the preferential policies that can be applied for, the Antler Service will do its best. ”

Abe Shin is also not ambiguous, the benefits of Shirakawa Kaede have been implemented, so he, the mayor, naturally has to express it.

"In this way, the Shirakawa Electric Antler City Branch Factory will ask Abe-san." Shirakawa Kaede also politely owed to him.

These politicians don't look like just small local mayors, but the Japanese bureaucracy is hereditary.

The family's political resources can be passed on directly to the next generation, so don't underestimate them.

On the surface, he is only a mayor, but the family power behind it may have a great influence in the local area.

Therefore, Shirakawa Kaede did not rely on others to ask for him, so he put himself on the shelf of the president of a large company.

"So do you have any requirements for the location of the branch?" Abe Shin, who can't wait, can't wait for the branch to start construction immediately.

"Regarding the location selection, I will need to trouble Sugie Sang to take care of it at that time.

In addition, Shirakawa Electric will also build staff apartments, and these things are inseparable from the support of the two. ”

In addition to the branch factory, the apartment is also one of Shirakawa Kaede's plans.

It's just that this is a special benefit for the deer, and if someone in the village goes to work at Shirakawa Electric, the apartment will be rented to them at an extremely cheap price.

After a certain number of years, it will be given away directly.

And whether it was Abe Shin or Sugie Soyu, they were all smiling when they heard that Shirakawa Kaede still had plans to build an apartment.

"Please rest assured that Nonghyup has a professional engineering design and construction team."

Lo and behold, as soon as the membership of the agricultural cooperative was granted, business came to the door.

What is this, this is the collusion between officials and businessmen ... Phew, this is to make full use of the construction resources of the hometown and give back to the hometown.

As for the location, there is actually no other choice.

The antlers are mountainous, and only the flower ring basin in the center of the city is considered a plain area.

Shirakawa Electric's future branch is also likely to be located here.

And in addition to the branch, there is also an apartment in the newly built building, and Abe Shin is so happy in his heart.

Shirakawa-san is a well-known entrepreneur in Antler City, and he has made indelible contributions to the economic development of Antler City.

"By the way, Abe-san, how is the loss of agricultural production in Akita due to the heavy snowfall this year?"

After talking about future investment in Antlers, Shirakawa Kaede also inquired about the impact of the snow disaster on Akita.

It is no exaggeration to say that the pillar industry of Akita's economy is agriculture, and the damage to agriculture caused by such extreme weather is self-evident.

And hearing Shirakawa Kaede's question, both Abe Shin and Sugie Soyu of the Agricultural Association couldn't help but sigh.

"The snow season came too early, and although the harvest was rushed in time, the harvest was at least 30% lower than last year.

Rice losses in the plains are small due to the help of agricultural machinery in harvesting.

But the terraces in the hilly terrain...," Abe Shin shook his head, "the loss is at least fifty percent or more." ”

In fact, this is already a blessing in misfortune, and large-scale agricultural cultivation is in the plains.

Overall, there were losses, but not to the point of breaking the bones.

But the mountain terraces that are harvested by artificial planting are the loss of them.

How can one hand and one sickle be able to withstand the efficiency of mechanized operations.

This is the case with fawns, where every household generally reduces production by more than half.

Hearing this news, Shirakawa Kaede couldn't help but sigh.

Peasants, watch the sky and eat. This sentence shows the helplessness of many farmers.

"Abe-san, if you can, Shirakawa Electric is willing to do what you can for the snow disaster in Akita."

Hearing this, Abe's spirit was shocked, "Shirakawa Kaede, what do you mean..."

Shirakawa Kaede nodded, "The terraces in those mountains have suffered heavy losses.

Without outside help, the coming year will be extremely difficult for them.

Shirakawa Electric will provide a free donation to help them overcome the current difficulties. ”

Abe Shin and Sugie Soyu glanced at each other, and then bowed in unison.

"Shirakawa-san, Gao Yi."

Shirakawa Kaede waved his hand, "It's just a trivial help, you don't have to be like this." ”

"Shirakawa-san doesn't have to be modest, and it's Akita's luck that you can have such thoughts.

In addition, it is best to communicate with the prefectural office about this matter. ”

Abe Shin admired Shirakawa Kaede in his heart at the moment. Not only does the business have a set, but it is also impressive.

"For specific things, I still need to trouble Abe-san later." Of course, it is most appropriate for these things to be handled by people in the government.

Shirakawa Electric pays some money, puts up a name, and then puts a dozen advertisements, almost on the line.

As for the specific things, it also needs to be docked by Shirakawa Electric in the future.

Whether it is the construction of the branch or the follow-up business matters, a special person is required to be responsible.

At present, the initial intention is only verbally decided, and there is still some time before it is implemented.

Regarding Shirakawa Kaede's so-called request for assistance, Abe Shin naturally hurriedly agreed.

He knew that this was Shirakawa Feng deliberately giving him political dividends, whether it was building a factory or donating money, this was a real political achievement.

So he was anxious, and after visiting the deer, he hurried straight to Akita City, the center of the metropolis, on the same day.

The rescue team that went to the mountains to find Yingji Village in the morning also returned to the village in the evening.

It's just that unlike when I went, there were a few more simple stretchers in the rescue team that came back.
