Chapter 130
Following
After returning to his alma mater, Shirakawa Kaede not only found a backer for himself, but also planned future industrial development in advance.
He knew very well that in an environment like Neon, if you rely on yourself to fight alone, your future prospects can be said to be very limited.
As Professor Yamada said, the development process of a company first affects employees, then the region, and then the society.
In such a gradual process, the company will inevitably integrate itself more thoroughly, and the bond threads on its body will become more detailed.
In this case, without the help of group interests, it is impossible to affect all aspects of society.
After all, it is still attributed to "people" and "interest".
However, neither Shirakawa Kaede nor Shirakawa Electrical Appliances have reached this point yet. The first thing to do now is to strengthen yourself.
As for the future, let’s wait for the day ahead.
Patents, industry, education and research, these matters have been settled one by one, and Shirakawa Kaede also returned to Shirakawa Electric.
Although he is still a student at Meiji University, his time spent on Shirakawa Electric has far exceeded that of Meiji.
Especially after meeting with Professor Yamada this time, other course teachers in the school will almost avoid his name when calling in class.
Shirakawa Kaede didn't know whether this was Professor Yamada's meaning or the school's meaning.
However, since the door of convenience has been opened, he will not pretend to be reserved stupidly.
After all, for him now, knowledge is secondary, and connections rank first.
The context of interpersonal relationships has become clearer, so it doesn’t matter if the management courses are put into place later.
In the production workshop of Shirakawa Electric, the scene of people coming and going is busier than before the New Year.
At this time, the second production line of Walkman has been completed, and the third production line is also being arranged in full swing.
Due to the increase in staff, the total number of Shirakawa Electric's employees has exceeded 300, which is three times more than before the New Year.
Even this new employee is still recruiting continuously. As long as flashman's production capacity cannot catch up with demand in one day, the expansion will not stop.
The first 100 million yen loan from Bank of Japan has been almost spent, and flashman's sales collection will not be received at least next month.
If funds are tight again, Shirakawa Kaede can only urge the review of the second loan.
So sometimes, the early investment of the industry is really a gold-swalking beast.
If tens of millions or hundreds of millions of funds are thrown into it, it is not certain whether there will be a return. Even if there is a return, the cycle will be very long.
Many companies may have fallen into the darkness before dawn before that day.
Fortunately, Shirakawa Electric's future is bright. Not only Shirakawa Kaede thinks so, but everyone in Shirakawa Electric thinks so.
"President Shirakawa, the pass rate of circuit boards provided by Kimura production seems to have dropped significantly recently."
Just as Shirakawa Kaede was looking at his crops, Yamaguchi Kazuo came over with a circuit board.
"Hmm?" Shirakawa Kaede stopped, "Tell me in detail."
"If you look at the printed circuit board, the green paint layer is obviously thin in some places.
If employees paint and clean the assembly process, they can even directly paint the copper wire circuit under the paint surface.”
Yamaguchi Kazuo held the circuit board and pointed to a place with yellow metal exposed to Shirakawa Kaede.
Sure enough, Shirakawa Kaede scratched it with his fingers, leaving a very clear scratch on the exposed area of the circuit board.
His face turned serious, "Immediately notify the Kimura-made people and ask them to give an explanation.
In addition, the quality inspection of circuit boards will no longer be carried out, but will be subject to inspections in batches.
We must never let any problematic product flow to the market.”
"Hay!" Yamaguchi Kazuo also knew the seriousness of the matter, once the flashman had quality problems.
Then Shirakawa Electric's future may be over, because flashman is its only flagship product at this time.
It can be said that one prospers and one loses.
"How long has this situation lasted?" Shirakawa Kaede walked to the conference room while continuing to understand the situation.
"Since yesterday, employees have reported similar problems, and today two more employees have discovered the same problem."
As a decades-old experience as the head of the manufacturing department, Yamaguchi Kazuo is conservative and scheming.
But his meticulousness is also an indispensable quality in the production process.
He will not let go of any bad things easily.
Shirakawa Kaede was relieved when he heard that it was the first time that something went wrong yesterday.
"The finished products were all reworked yesterday. I will ask Hasegawa Sang to explain the sales channel.
The inspection must be careful, but it only takes one day. Is there any problem?"
Yamaguchi Kazuo gritted his teeth, "President, please rest assured, no problem!"
Yamaguchi Kazuo made up his mind and couldn't help but pull the headphones to replace him.
After all, the production of headphones is high, and the current inventory can still be handled.
In addition, compared to flashman, the value of headphones is much lower, and it is clear at a glance which one is more important.
"Okay," Shirakawa Kaede nodded, "In thirty minutes, I'll prepare to hold a meeting to discuss it together."
"Understand" Yamaguchi Kazuo nodded and agreed.
"President, President! Here comes, here!"
At this moment, Hasegawa suddenly trotted over with a document.
"What's the matter?" Shirakawa Kaede, who had just encountered product quality problems, was full of serious face and had no intention of making any jokes with him again.
"Uh" Hasegawa put away the excitement on his face and handed the document in his hand to Shirakawa Kaede with a nervous look on his face. "It's Sony's note."
Sure enough, Shirakawa Kaede was upset.
He took the document and looked at it in detail. It was roughly because Sony asked Shirakawa Electric to conduct a notice on the infringement.
"I understand, we will go to the appointment on time according to the other party's time." Shirakawa Kaede returned the documents to Hasegawa without hesitation.
"Hai" Hasegawa took the document and looked excited again on his face. He had long wanted to meet the legendary Sony.
Looking at Hasegawa's hurriedly leaving, Shirakawa Kaede sighed in his heart.
It was really like the house was leaking and it was raining all night. As soon as Shirakawa Electric was on the right track, things came one by one.
However, Sony's official note was also within his expectations. After all, calculating the time, both sides were almost ready.
Sony did not file a lawsuit directly as soon as possible, which was in line with Professor Kiyoshi Muto and others' predictions.
After all, Sony is a multinational company and it cannot ignore overseas markets.
If the identity was changed, there was no need to think about it, there would have been lawsuits all over the world at this time.
Since negotiations are used as an initial attempt, Shirakawa Kaede is basically aware of Sony's attitude towards handling this matter.
In this case, his next plan can also be planned.
Of course, Shirakawa Electric also expressed his gratitude to Sony for the negotiation invitation. Although Shirakawa Kaede was not afraid of Sony's attack, he was not so reckless that he wanted to take the initiative to jump to Sony's face.
He still has the tacit understanding he should have. Since he wants to limit the issues to the negotiating table, it is more in line with his wishes.
After careful consideration, Shirakawa Kaede felt that Professor Muto Kiyoshi might have been notified.
The battle flag is erected and ready to set off.

Slowly, a little too tired, need to leave some time to check the information
Looking back, I forgot to write many details. The notes I left behind in the previous search for information were useless.
Get rid of everyone’s support!
