Chapter 264: The First Experience of Beidu Bank

What is the name of Shirakawa Electric's CD player?

"Let's call it Discman," a smile appeared on Shirakawa Kaede's lips.

“Discman?” Hasegawa repeated in a low voice.

"That's right, isn't it all the right now to dance and dance music and similar styles of music?

Then our CD player is called Discman, which follows the trend and continues the family naming method of Flashman. ”

You see that Shirakawa Kaede has a very good reason, and even everyone thinks that it is really good.

In the early 80s, neon pop music slowly shifted from the new music style of the 70s to urban music.

The so-called urban music is City pop, which is also the evolution predecessor of J-pop in the 90s.

However, because of the rapid development of the neon economy, the style of urban music is becoming more and more hedonistic.

Most of them are based on big cities, such as Tokyo. Describe its busyness, alienation, and paper gold obsession.

The content of the song is full of various descriptions of sun, sand, resort, etc., and this rhythmic disco music is very popular with young people.

That's right, city pop was born out of disco. Although it has been changed on the basis of disco.

But the name City pop has not yet become popular, and the general public still thinks it is a disco style.

And around the world, apparently the name of disco is more widely known.

There was also a resurgence of this music in later generations, when its name was changed to the City Vaporwave.

But it's the 80s, and the name City pop hasn't become popular yet, and even later the fire is only neon.

All over the world, the name of disco is more widely known.

Shirakawa Electric is a truly multinational company, certainly not confined to a tiny Japan.

So the name "Discman" was happily decided.

"Register it as our trademark as soon as possible, so that the catchy name is very good for spreading."

"Understood," Hasegawa happily jotted down Shirakawa Kaede's order.

Why did Kaede Shirakawa want to register Disman's name? Of course, I was afraid that someone else would preemptively register first.

So who would use the name Disman? Of course, it's our old friend Sony.

Two years later, the brand would probably become Sony's trademark for CD players.

But now, it's mine. Shirakawa Kaede's small abacus crackled.

With the goal of making a portable CD player, Shirakawa Electric finally decided on its next strategic product.

From the portable handheld to the CD player next year, Shirakawa Electric also happened to be the third anniversary of its establishment by then.

Three main products in three years, this speed is already very fast.

During this period, there are also headphones and audio products to be launched next year, and in such a short period of time, Shirakawa Kaede thinks that he has done a good enough job to enrich the product line to such an extent.

It's too fast, it's easy to have an unstable foundation, after all, every product needs to repair itself.

Improvements, new models, and new research and development all require continuous investment in manpower and material resources to ensure their sustainable development.

Only after gaining a firm foothold will Shirakawa Kaede consider the development of the next flagship product.

He is still young and not in a hurry, and Shirakawa Electric is still young, and steady and steady is the best choice at present.

Today, the last day of October, is also the payroll day of Shirakawa Electric.

Daki held the envelope with a smile on his face, greeting his colleagues who were also smiling along the way, and preparing to leave work.

It seems that everyone is in a good mood, too, after all, everyone is happy when the salary is paid.

Shirakawa Electric's salary is paid on time at the end of the month, and it will never be paid ten days and a half a month or even a month late like other companies.

This alone makes the employees of Shirakawa Electric extremely satisfied, and there is no harm if there is no comparison.

Usually friends chat, everyone hears that their wages are on time at the end of the month, and when they encounter holidays or even pay them in advance, the envious eyes don't mention how cool their hearts are.

This invisible little benefit may seem inconspicuous, but for social animals with high pressure in life, it can sometimes be compared to timely rain.

In fact, not only Shirakawa Electric, but also Anke Electric, HAL Research Institute, SIC, etc., all companies under Shirakawa Holdings are treated the same.

Shirakawa Kaede does the same thing at this point, and if you want to retain employees, salary is one thing, and all kinds of considerate services are also one thing.

Joyful Oki whistled to the parking lot and got into his car.

He didn't immediately start the car and leave as usual, but put his personal belongings first, and then couldn't wait to open the envelope.

The seal was opened, and there was only a folded white piece of paper lying inside, and Oki knew that it was a salary statement.

With a flick of the finger, the payslip was accurately ticked.

Huh~, why is it a little hard. Da Mu pinched the list in his hand, and it felt like a hard object in the shape of a card.

He opened the pay stub curiously, and a blue and white bank card was printed in his eyes.

"Beidu Bank", in the upper left corner of the bank card, the four Chinese characters are very eye-catching.

Seeing this, Da Mu showed a sudden look, as early as a month ago, he received a notice from the Ministry of Personnel.

Starting from this month, Shirakawa Electric's salary will be paid using the Beidu bank card.

What he is holding in his hand now should be the salary card of this Beidu Bank.

Casually looking at the brand-new bank card, the image of a small animal was sketched in a stick pen on a sky blue background.

This seems to be an Akita dog, Ohki smiled dumbly.

Not to mention, it's pretty kawaii.

Damu teased himself leisurely while opening the payslip and taking a closer look.

Basic give + adjust to give + qualification hand when + time outside hand dang. He ignored this series of names, and his eyes directly caught the last number.

1,340,000 yen, tsk, Oki's mood is more beautiful.

When he first joined Shirakawa Electric last year, it was 1.2 million, and this year, due to his efforts in high-end Walkman sound, Shirakawa Electric also raised his salary.

When he was in Onkyo, he was only 600,000 yuan a month, and now he has changed to Shirakawa Electric as the chief sound engineer, and his salary has more than doubled in an instant.

Da Mu couldn't help but feel glad for his choice, and sure enough, Onkyo's little year of merit was not worth nostalgia at all.

At this time, he swept his gaze to a few lines of bold notes on the payslip, which was about the location of the branch of the Hokuto Bank in Tokyo.

Chuo-ku, Minato-ku, Chiyoda-ku, Shibuya-ku, Ota-ku, and even Kawasaki have branches of Hokuto Bank.

Hey, it's pretty wide.

The first time he got a bank card from Beidu Bank, Damu also decided to experience it for himself.

After all, it is a bank that I have never heard of before, so it is more reassuring to have the money in your hands.

So as soon as he turned the wheel, he found the nearest one to him, and went to the branch of the Hokuto Bank in Ota Ward.

Ten minutes later, a renovated three-story building on the street caught the eye of Damu.

A few big characters of Beidu Bank can be seen from a long distance.

To Damu's surprise, there seemed to be quite a few people here, probably most of them were like him, ready to withdraw money as soon as they got their salaries.

Putting down his mind and parking the car, Da Mu walked into the Beidu Bank with a hint of curiosity.

"Welcome, sir, how can I help you?"

As soon as Oki walked into the hall, a female staff member in uniform stepped forward and politely asked him what business he needed to handle.

The other party bowed again, and his tone was gentle, which made Damu feel very useful.

Well, the main thing is that the young lady's appearance is really high.

"Uh, I'm here to withdraw money." Oki replied as he looked at the setting.

At the entrance to the hall, there is an umbrella stand on your left. It should be for rainy days, so that people can store their umbrellas.

Then there are the rows of soft sofas in the lobby's waiting area, which are almost full at this point.

Above the waiting area, there are several televisions, silently broadcasting various news and current affairs.

On the other side of the sofa there are also bookshelves filled with readings and lifestyle magazines.

Sitting on the sofa waiting for the people here, some are watching TV in the sky, and some are reading quietly with magazines in their hands.

Occasionally, the words on the radio say, "It's too long to keep you waiting, customer XX please go to window X to handle your business."

The tone was soothing and soft, just like the staff who had just received Oki.

"If you want to withdraw money, there is a manual service hall and a self-service area, do you need to wait for your number?"

The young lady in uniform asked Daki in a thoughtful and whispered again.

Da Mu looked at the bustling hall, his brows furrowed slightly, there were too many people.

"I'm sorry sir, the waiting area may be full, we can arrange for you to wait in the VIP lounge. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. ”

The young lady with meticulous service noticed Damu's expression very much, so she immediately prepared another arrangement.

"No, I'll go to the self-service area." The young lady is so easy to speak, Damu naturally won't embarrass her.

After expressing to the young lady again that he didn't need help, the other party bowed and nodded and left.

Tsk, the service attitude is really good, Damu smacked his lips.

Before turning around, he glanced at the bustling counter in front of him, and the so-called window was actually not separated by glass at all.

Yes, the counter of the Northern Metropolis Bank is about the same height as a regular desk, so customers can look at each other at eye level with the bank's staff.

There is no glass-type security window between them, and everyone is in direct contact with each other as if they were communicating normally.

Kaede Shirakawa believes that the installation of glass partitions will create a sense of estrangement between customers and staff in the first place.

No matter what the business, without the trust between the customer and the bank, nothing is good.

Therefore, Beidu Bank will not distance itself from customers for the sake of so-called security.

Besides, robbery is, after all, an occasional incident caused by a very small number of people, and it is really insignificant compared to the huge customer base and their trust.

So now there is this scene that Da Mu saw in front of his eyes, although there were many people, but everyone had relaxed expressions and did not have the slightest impatience.

Although it was the first time for Damu to come to Beidu Bank, he was deeply impressed by the meticulous service alone.

He didn't have any special needs just to withdraw money, so a self-service ATM was enough.

Oki walked to the self-service hall, where there were relatively few people.

The hall is spacious and bright, and the floor is clean and washable.

He came to an ATM machine and found that there were wall panels on both sides of the machine for placing items.

Damu hung the briefcase in his hand on it, and his hands were just free to operate the ATM machine in front of him.

These wall panels are designed to facilitate self-service business for office workers, who often hold briefcases in their hands, which can be inconvenient to operate if there is no place to put them.

On the other side of the ATM, there is a small calculator on the wall panel, which is convenient for customers to perform various calculations.

It is even equipped with an envelope for money and reading glasses for the elderly.

Tsk, the service is in place, and the details are sincere.

Daki stuffed his bank card into the ATM, and when he looked up, he could look through the wide-angle rearview mirror above to see if someone was "watching" behind him.

When the card is read by the machine, the interface flashes with various financial advertisements of Beidu Bank.

Well? There is even a foreign exchange business.

Da Mu showed an interested look, he also likes to manage money, maybe he can study and study when he is empty.

Soon the interface was loaded, and to his surprise, the language of the ATM machine was actually a variety of options.

In addition to the Japanese interface, it is also equipped with a variety of voice interfaces such as English and Chinese to meet the needs of various groups of people.

This Beidu Bank can, a little-known bank, Damu actually experienced the treatment that only international banks have.

Yes, the needle does not poke ~

The next withdrawal was also very smooth.

However, Damu only tried to take a little, and most of the salary was still in it.

He decided to go to the young lady just now to talk about foreign exchange wealth management business.

cough~ He is only interested in financial management, and he is by no means interested in young sisters.
