After participating in the school's graduation ceremony, Shirakawa Holdings' financial accounts have basically come to an end.

Unlike last year's negligible tax amount, the total amount of tax paid by all the clubs under Shirakawa Holdings today is close to 10 billion yen.

The local market of Baichuan Electric alone contributed about 6 billion taxes, and this part of the money Baichuan Electric also paid in full.

It's not that Shirakawa Feng willingly took out this money, but if he doesn't pay it, he can't do it.

As the backbone of neon taxation, corporate tax is the top priority of the tax agency.

In particular, the civil servants of the Tax Agency have a perverted style.

It is said that in order to find out the business of an izakaya, civil servants from the Tax Agency changed into civilian clothes and took turns squatting in front of the izakaya for a month.

Do? Pick up trash!

That's right, those civil servants stand in front of the izakaya trash cans every day and count how many bottles the izakaya consumed that day.

Then, based on the number of bottles, the reason is to determine whether the izakaya's business is in line with its reported revenue data.

With such a perverted civil servant here, Shirakawa Kaede doesn't dare to deceive.

Who knows if they will go to the major electrical appliance stores to count the shipments of Shirakawa Electric, if they are caught because of this, it will be a lot of fun.

If nothing else, the plan to go public this year alone is likely to hit Waterloo.

A pre-IPO tax scandal is an absolute fatal blow to a business.

Therefore, in order to avoid extraneous complications, all the clubs under Shirakawa Holdings are honest and honest, and they have not paid a penny less in taxes.

Because of the huge tax payment in FY81, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry also issued the "Showa 56 Export Contribution Company Certification" to Shirakawa Electric.

The gold content of this certificate is similar to the gold content of 500 yuan and a pennant after picking up a piece of dog's head gold and handing it over to the state.

It's better than nothing, at least it's officially certified. Put it on the corporate display wall in the hall on the first floor, which can be regarded as a card.

Shirakawa Kaede was even thinking about whether to print the certificate page on the outer packaging of the product and take the opportunity to publicize it.

But after thinking about it, he still gave up on this idea, it was too low.

It doesn't seem to be popular to do this on a small day, so forget it.

Throwing the certificate on the table, Shirakawa Kaede began to care about another major matter of the club.

"This is our own LCD display?"

"Hai" Akagi, who was standing in front of the desk, hurriedly handed him the handheld in his hand.

Shirakawa Kaede took it and looked at it carefully, it seemed to be the same as before. I turned on the power of the handheld and tried it, and it was okay, it was really no different from before.

After all, it is the first batch of products off the assembly line, and compared with the previous LCD screen of Suwa Seiko, there is no difference to be considered a success.

"What is the yield of our products?"

"With the help of Stanley and Ildong Electric, it is now roughly more than 80%."

80%? Not bad, Shirakawa Kaede nodded with satisfaction.

As far as he knows, the yield rate of Suwa Seiko and Sharp is basically maintained between 85%~94%.

The first batch of products rolled off the production line at the Shirakawa LCD plant, and it was good to be able to achieve a yield rate of 80%.

Now the production process of TN-LCD is very mature, and there are no additional difficult steps in the production process.

Therefore, with the help of two expert companies, Shirakawa, a beginner, can also achieve a yield rate of more than 80%.

Of course, this is because the LCD screens that are cut now are generally small-sized products, and if they are replaced with a large screen of more than ten inches, it would be good to be able to exceed half.

And this is only the first batch of products off the production line, and with the running-in proficiency of each production link in the future, there is still room for improvement in the yield rate.

Fiddling with the handheld in his hand for a while, and confirming that there were no obvious shortcomings, Shirakawa Kaede put his mind at ease.

"So with today's yield rate, how much does it cost for us to have an LCD screen?"

In addition to the yield rate, another issue that Shirakawa Kaede is concerned about is cost.

These two factors are related to whether the LCD factory can survive independently in the future.

And the reason why Shirakawa Kaede chose to make his own LCD in the first place was because of the cost of the handheld.

At the mention of this question, Akagi's face became a little excited, "President, now the cost of our own LCD is not even 100 yen per piece. ”

"So cheap?" Shirakawa Kaede looked at him in surprise.

"Hai" Akagi nodded affirmatively, "Stanley and Nitto Electric have given some discounts to the raw materials, and the yield rate is good, so there is such a low cost." ”

"Is the cost of Suwa Seiko and Sharp also in this range?" Shirakawa Kaede changed his words and began to care about another issue.

"Pretty much," Akagi replied in the affirmative.

Damn, with such a low cost, I dared to charge Lao Tzu 500 yen a piece before.

Black, fucking black!

Now that I have my own production line, don't try to make a penny from Lao Tzu.

"How much of our current production capacity can meet the number of handheld shipments?"

"Because there is only one production line, it can meet about 25%~30% now."

"With the addition of four more production lines, the factory on the Kawasaki side is also focusing on the point and stepping up the expansion.

The sooner we complete the construction of the LCD factory, the only way to ensure our handheld profits. ”

"Hay!" Akagi nodded in agreement.

The expansion of the LCD factory is the first goal to meet the needs of handhelds, and the remaining part of the production capacity is reserved for the Walkman and the CD player behind it.

This small size screen is ideal for use in portable electronics.

Electronic watches, handhelds, walkmans, CD players, LCD screens are all useful in these products.

For example, this year, Shirakawa Electric's new generation of walkman products is ready to add a display screen.

The size does not need to be too big, the size of the thumb is sufficient.

This screen can be used to display simple track information and simple song timing.

Of course, this information is displayed digitally, for example, the tracks are in the order of 01, 02, 03.

The timing of the song is similar to that of an electronic watch, beating by the seconds in a flash.

It's very simple, but it's also very practical.

It's not that Kaede Shirakawa doesn't want to add more complicated features, such as displaying characters to present the song title, or directly displaying the lyrics.

But that requires the separate support of the chip, and the cost outweighs the cost.

And the Walkman tape doesn't support this feature either, the CD player's disc does, but that's for another story.

But after adding a screen, the grade of the Walkman is different.

A proper high-end product, isn't this more than a tightly covered chassis?

To make consumer electronics products is to highlight a "new" word.

To be more specific, there is no one else.

Look, the Walkman has a display screen, and Shirakawa Electric is the only one.

As long as you are always one step ahead of others, you don't have to worry about the market share of your own products.

Of course, at present, most of the production capacity of LCD factories is supplied to handheld computers.

After all, the screen of the handheld computer is much larger, which is worth the size of several electronic watches.

The LCD factory screen is quoted at around 180 yen for the handheld.

It does not mean that the cost of an LCD is less than 100 yen, and it can be given to the handheld division at such a cost price.

Because the LCD factory also needs to be profitable, otherwise what would it do to keep itself running?

Workers' salaries, factory operating costs, all need money.

And don't forget, the LCD plant also has shares in Stanley and Ildong Electric.

It's okay to reduce costs at home, but you can't sacrifice the interests of others, that's not how business works.

In addition, 180 yen is a bit cheaper than the earliest 200 yen purchased from Suwa Seiko.

With this offer, Shirakawa Electric's handheld profit will immediately rise by 320 yen.

It's a good deal, it's a great deal.

When the yield rate increases, the production cost of LCD factories will continue to decline.

At that time, Shirakawa Kaede will not be satisfied with the self-sufficiency of LCD.

He also wanted to grab orders from Suwa Seiko and Sharp.

Let you raise the price for me, not only will I not make you a penny now, but I will also rob you of your job!

Anyway, its own LCD factory also has a handheld business department to support it, and basically don't worry about orders, and you can't starve to death.

The external quotation can be ruthlessly rolled, Suyu Seiko and Sharp, and the one that is dead is counted as one.

Shirakawa Kaede is so vindictive, as long as it is profitable, he doesn't mind letting the LCD offer take a big dive.

Anyway, the core business of Baichuan Holdings is not here, so it should be a price war to practice it.

In the DRAM chip business, Xiaori can kill peers all over the world.

The LCD factory in Shirakawa is not too much to roll up neon peers.

This fine tradition, Shirakawa Kaede said to study hard.

There is also the STN-LCD that SIC is working on, and it seems to be making good progress.

It is very likely that we will be able to see the finished product this year, and then we can send a little surprise to the two colleagues in the LCD industry.

Kaede Shirakawa likes to make friends, whether old or new, he is happy to communicate with them a lot.

There is Sony and Aihua in the front, and Nintendo in the back, and he doesn't mind adding Sharp, Suwa Seiko or something.

Solved the screen problem of the handheld, and it was also a big problem in my heart.

After all, the handheld business is the second largest core profit growth point of Shirakawa Electric, and he can't afford not to pay attention to it.

After these transactions are completed, the time has officially entered April.

And there is also an extremely important thing in this month, which requires Shirakawa Kaede to personally go out.

This matter is related to his major layout in the future, and it is closely related to the foundation of the future.

In mid-April, Kaede Shirakawa reappeared at Akita Airport.

This time, in addition to the people from their own club, there were also Keio Group and Tokyu Group, two major office teams.

"Shirakawa-san, Nagata-san, Ogawa-san, welcome!"

Under the airport gangway, a long red carpet reached Shirakawa Kaede's feet.

And Kikuji Sasaki also took a group of managers from Akita and waited here from afar.

Seeing them come down, the Akita governor immediately stepped forward and shook the hands of several guests with both hands and shook them vigorously.

At this time, the local media in Akita, who were gathered outside, also raised their cameras one after another to take pictures.

Click, even in broad daylight, can't block the light of the flash.

Obviously, for this welcoming ceremony, the Akita Prefectural Office has also made a lot of arrangements here.

Everyone met, and after greeting for a while, Kikuji Sasaki also stretched out his hand.

"Ladies and gentlemen, everything is ready at the Akita Office, and we are waiting for you to visit."

Nagata and Shirakawa Kaede nodded, and then the group got into the car and went straight to the Akita Prefectural Office.
