Chapter 225: A New Friend Entering the Game

Regarding Yuko Tanaka being an actor, in fact, Shirakawa Kaede doesn't mind and won't interfere.

Everyone is an individual, with their own joys, sorrows, and sorrows, as well as their own things they want to do.

As long as we can find the most comfortable space for each other when we get along, that's fine.

But most of the time, she's accommodating herself.

Whether it's diet or habits, everything is according to me, and I have never complained.

I have to say that it feels really good to have an obedient and considerate woman by your side.

After getting along for so long, Shirakawa Kaede suddenly thought that he didn't seem to have done anything specifically for her.

Buying the office is not worth mentioning for the current Shirakawa Kaede.

I have learned a little before that there are no big-name artists under the name of the small office she signed.

To put it bluntly, Yuko Tanaka basically relies on Yuko Tanaka to support the operation of the entire club.

Therefore, if Shirakawa Kaede wants to buy it, it should not be difficult.

To be an artist with absolute autonomy, she must be able to be more comfortable.

And this is also a kind of protection, a proper signal of one's existence to the entertainment circle.

Those eight-sided artists should not have any uninteresting offenses.

After saying his intention to buy the office, Shirakawa Kaede lay on the bed with his bare shoulders, but he never waited for her response.

Just as he was about to turn his head to confirm again, he suddenly felt a warm face on his back.

"Shirakawa-kun"

"Huh?"

Yuko Tanaka pressed her face against his back, staring blankly at the bedroom floor.

"It's nothing," she smiled, her white hand rubbing lightly on his back.

Well, Shirakawa Kaede continued to close his eyes and recharge.

Women are complex and sensual creatures.

"By the way, yesterday a person claiming to be Kobayashi Asuka-san called."

Well?!

Shirakawa Kaede's heart jumped, but his face still didn't change.

"yes, maybe it's some official business." He snorted, and his tone was very casual.

"Hmm~" Yuko Tanaka rolled her eyes, the one who claimed to be the Minister of Personnel, so it should be for official business.

However, because of the intimate contact with each other's bare skin, she always felt that the muscles of Shirakawa Kaede under her just now were slightly tense.

Thinking of this, she reached out and pinched his back, hey, it's always been hard.

was tickled by her, Shirakawa Kaede made a move, turned over and sang as a serf.

"Huh?"

In the exclamation of Yuko Tanaka, they transposed each other.

I have to find something for her to do, so that she doesn't have to think about it all day.

Kaede Shirakawa, who had just returned to Tokyo for a day off, began to devote himself to his busy work again.

I haven't dealt with Tokyo for almost a month, so I guess the papers on the table are already piling up.

Before going to Ota-ku, Shirakawa Kaede made a special trip to Chuo Ward, which is home to the only branch of Hokuto Bank in Tokyo.

The so-called branch is just a few storefronts rented on the first floor of the Nihonbashi Muromachi building, and after renovating it, it's over.

At this moment, the signboard hanging at the door is still preserved with the words "Yugo Bank".

Shabby, really shabby, Shirakawa Kaede shook his head in disappointment.

It's not a bank at all, it's a pitiful small scale.

It seems that when Arai Yu returns from Akita, he will have to talk to him about the development of Hokuto Bank.

It's too late to build a building, so at least rent one first.

It doesn't matter if you only have one branch, but the ATM machine must cover as many areas as possible.

In addition, it is best to open inter-bank withdrawal services with other banks, such as the first persuasion bank, you can talk about it.

It doesn't matter if you make money or not, at least you have to beat the reputation of Beidu Bank.

Convenient deposit and withdrawal business is also one of the advantages of attracting people to open accounts.

After everything is sorted out at the bank and everything is arranged in Tokyo.

As long as the contract with other banks expires, all payroll services under Shirakawa Holdings will be changed to Beidu Bank in the future.

The bank to which he belongs is this small seedling, and of course Shirakawa Kaede wants to give it a mouthful.

Counting Shirakawa Electric, Anke Electric, AutoNavi, and HAL Research Institute, adding up to four or five thousand new active users, how can Hokuto Bank be able to conduct business smoothly in Tokyo?

There are also friendly associations with you, such as bic cameras, lead motors that cooperate with laser heads, and so on.

To do business, of course, it is necessary to make full use of all the resources at hand and open up all these joints.

It should not be a problem for Beidu Bank to survive, and the rest can only rely on it to develop its own business.

As for greater leapfrog development, we have to wait for future opportunities.

The signboard in front of him, which had not yet had time to be changed, made Shirakawa Kaede dispel the idea of going in to find out.

"Let's go to Ota City." Sitting in the back seat of the car, he withdrew his gaze and instructed.

Kojima, the driver in the front row of "Hai", responded respectfully.

This Kojima-san is also a driver recommended by a high-end housekeeping service company, and will serve Shirakawa Kaede full-time in the future.

In addition to him, the nutritionist and nanny in the house are also in place.

In the future, they will be responsible for what they eat and do for three meals a day.

To be honest, it was the first time for him to enjoy this kind of service, and the dietitian did a comprehensive medical examination for him on the first day of employment.

If there are hidden dangers in the body, then there will be strict control requirements for the diet.

Fortunately, Shirakawa Kaede is young, so there is nothing to taboo.

However, they still check his body regularly so that they can adjust their diet plan in time.

Do you have to arrange it for your parents in your hometown? But now the fawn must already be a construction site.

I don't know if I'll be able to recognize it as it once again when I go back again.

After wandering in the car, the car has arrived at the door of Shirakawa Electric in Ota Ward.

Along the way, in addition to responding to the greetings of the employees, Shirakawa Kaede went straight to his office.

Sure enough, as soon as I entered the door, there were several stacks of thick documents on the desk.

"President, you're back." The crisp sound is comforting to listen to.

"Thanks to Komatsu-san's blessing, everything is finally going well." Shirakawa Kaede greeted her with a smile.

The latter immediately smiled happily when he heard this, and then helped him brew coffee non-stop.

And Shirakawa Kaede also sat down and began to deal with the things at hand one by one.

Urgent matters have basically been communicated by phone, and now these can be handled normally.

The first is the market in North America, where sales have soared for several months.

By the end of the 80s, in less than half a year, more than three million Walkman models had been shipped.

As for the whole year of the whole year, it has not even exceeded two million.

Sure enough, the size of the market cannot be compared at all, and it is conservatively estimated that there will be a gap of about three times.

However, the handheld market is temporarily leading in China, with a total of more than 4 million units shipped last year.

Overseas has just been developed, and it has only been sold for more than two months, and more than two million units have been shipped.

This kind of fresh small game console is cheap and interesting for Lao Mei, and its future potential should not be underestimated.

And 90% of Shirakawa Electric's profits last year were created by these two products.

The net profit for the whole year was about 55 billion yen, and now all of this money has been invested in Hokuto Bank.

That's a difference of more than 10 billion, and some of it was embezzled from other places to fill the hole of this big gold swallower.

Now Bai Chuanfeng spread his hands and looked left and right, and there was no money again, and his family was wiped out.

Alas, the more money is earned, the more it is spent.

It would be good when I could sit back and wait for the money to make money.

Now, let's honestly continue to run around for a little money.

Fortunately, January of the new year has passed, and the payment from some channels will soon arrive.

With this money, Shirakawa Electric has finally recovered its vitality and can continue to circulate healthily.

Sure enough, 60 billion yen is still too painful for the current Shirakawa Electric.

And will this year's profits be as good as last year's? Kaede Shirakawa wasn't so optimistic.

At least in the field of Walkmans, why?

This year, the local patent for the Walkman has been opened, and now there are not only Sony and Shirakawa Electric players entering the market.

No, the New Year has just passed. February is coming, and there are already other Walkman brands on the market.

Dealing with the matter at hand a little, Shirakawa Kaede immediately summoned Yasuda and them to a meeting.

"This is the product of our new adversary?"

Now Shirakawa Kaede is holding a black Walkman in his hand, the shape is the same as Shirakawa Electric's, very small and about the size of the palm.

"That's right," Yasuda nodded solemnly, this is a heavyweight opponent.

Shirakawa Kaede flipped over the front of the Walkman, and the word "National" was unusually eye-catching.

This is one of Panasonic's brand logos, and it has not yet been unified into the "Panasonic" of later generations.

Panasonic, in the current era, is a behemoth even bigger than Sony.

Facing it, all the people at Shirakawa Electric had serious expressions.

"How much do they price?" Shirakawa Kaede looked as serious.

"17,800 yen" Hasegawa, who frowned, quoted a tighter figure that made people frown.

It is 1,000 yen lower than Shirakawa Electric's low-end model, the FM-01.

This price is really accurate.

Such an oppressive price, to be honest, is not too surprising to Shirakawa Kaede.

If there is anyone in Japan who can lower the price of the Walkman, it must be Panasonic.

Panasonic, unlike Sony, does not have the image burden of a high-end product.

Even Panasonic is particularly good at the low-end market, which has to do with its corporate culture.

So what is Panasonic's corporate culture?

"Water Supply Management Philosophy"

This is a metaphor for his founder, Konosuke Matsushita, on the company's business mission.

One day, Konosuke Matsushita was walking on the road and saw someone unscrewing the water faucet on the side of the road and drinking water with a headache.

Although some people blamed passers-by for their rudeness in drinking water, no one blamed him for drinking water.

So Konosuke Matsushita wondered, can his club produce products as cheap as tap water?

Tap water is a good product that everyone needs, and the price is acceptable to the public.

No matter what kind of product, as long as the quantity is large enough, the price is low enough, and the quality is reliable enough, then it will definitely be welcomed by everyone.

This point of view is Konosuke Matsushita's interpretation of his own business philosophy.

This is also known as the "Philosophy of Tap Water".

To put it bluntly, it is to take the low-end market route and use low prices to occupy the market.

As for what it means to eradicate poverty and provide good products for the poor, just listen to it.

So this is the low-end model of Shirakawa Walkman, and now it is facing the opponent.

A behemoth who has been immersed in this way for many years.
