Take action

It is also in Adachi City, and Oda Production, which is not too far away from Kimura Production, is also located here.

Many industries will automatically gather together to form industrial clusters due to their upstream and downstream relationships.

Oda Manufacturing focuses on PCB board manufacturing technology, while Kimura Manufacturing previously focused on PCB packaging technology.

The two can be said to complement each other, as the two production houses often collaborate on this level of relationship.

However, later on, Kimura Production also began to gradually dabble in more advanced board-making technology. Because of this, the cooperative relationship between the two companies has a tendency to transform into a competitor.

Today's Oda Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is still a busy scene. With the development of the economy, the sales of various electronic consumer products are also rising again and again.

So Oda Manufacturing, which focuses on processing for other manufacturers, is now prospering.

In the office, Oda Jun was receiving clients, when an assistant came in to report.

"Oda-san and Kimura Productions called and said that they will complete the follow-up processing of Shirakawa Electric themselves, and are now preparing to retrieve the technical data and request us to complete the delivery."

Oda Jun waved his hand nonchalantly, "I know, it's just a Walkman. There's no need to report such a trivial matter."

The orders Oda Manufacturing currently receives are all for household appliances, and the order volume is very large.

Because these electrical appliances are not only consumed locally, but many are exported overseas.

In the 1980s, Japanese electrical appliances began to sell well in overseas countries. Now the machines in the factory are almost non-stop day and night, and a steady stream of products is flowing to all parts of the world.

So relatively speaking, the Walkman order from Kimura Productions was completely unable to be digested by itself, so it was entrusted to Oda Productions.

In fact, the quantity is not very large. Compared with the home appliance orders received by Oda Manufacturing, the two are completely incomparable.

Therefore, Oda Jun is not very enthusiastic about working as an OEM for Kimura. He just wants to give him a hug when business comes to his door.

After receiving the order, his assistant turned to leave, but the guests he received showed an interested look.

"Did Oda-san just talk about the Walkman?"

"Why, Takagi-san is interested in this? Don't you Aihua only make recorders and microphones?"

Oda Jun and Takagi are old acquaintances, and Aihua’s orders are basically handled by Takagi.

"I'm slightly interested. After all, Aihua is also a manufacturer in the audio field."

Oda Jun nodded and thought for a few seconds, "Well, since Takagi-san is interested, it's okay to take a look, but..."

Takagi immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, Oda-san, I understand all the rules. I'm just watching, there will be no other actions."

I feel more at ease with Takagi and Oda Jun. Not only do they have business contacts, but they also travel a lot in private.

"Matsui, take Takagi-san to visit our workshop. Aihua is an important customer of ours, so we must provide good service."

"Hai"

After handing over their assistants, Oda Jun and Takagi said a few more polite words, then lowered their heads and went about their own business.

As for the Walkman made by Kimura or Shirakawa Electric, he was not interested at all.

He didn't understand what Kimura Production meant. It was estimated that this contract processing would be the last cooperation between the two companies.

They will become competitors in the future, so he doesn't need to care too much about some things.

A future competitor, a long-term stable customer, even a blind man knows how to choose.

As for the Walkman, to be honest, Oda Jun has never heard of it at all.

He only pays attention to the field of home appliances. As for the recently emerged gadgets that play music, he has not yet caught his eye.

…

In the workshop, assistant Matsui took Takagi around for half a circle, and finally arrived at the area where Shirakawa Electric is processed.

Takagi's eyes lit up when he saw green circuit boards spit out from the equipment.

Before he even glanced at it twice, his eyes were attracted by something else.

That thick stack of technical drawings was placed in plain sight not far from the equipment.

"Ahem, Assistant Matsui, thank you for your introduction. I can just take a look at the rest."

"This..." Assistant Matsui hesitated for a moment, but thinking about the president's instructions just now, he nodded again. "In that case, Takagi-san, please pay attention to your safety and come to me anytime if you need anything."

"No problem, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Watching Assistant Matsui leave, Takagi turned to look at the drawings in front of him, his eyes flashing with light.

…

Two days have passed since my first meeting with Sony.

Although everyone at Baichuan Electrical Appliances is still busy with their feet on the ground, there is always a thorn in their hearts.

When facing a behemoth like Sony, no matter how cautious you are, you can never be too cautious.

Especially when the opponent is watching eagerly but does not take action, the deterrent effect is even more powerful.

Bai Chuanfeng himself was okay, he had been mentally prepared for a long time. But the people below him were facing so much pressure, and all of them looked haggard.

But it’s not their fault. After all, as indigenous people, they are very aware of Sony’s power.

Now that I can withstand the pressure and keep Shirakawa Electrical Appliances operating normally, Shirakawa Kaede is very satisfied.

"President! President!" Hasegawa's shouts could be heard far outside the office.

"Hasegawa-san, if you have something to say slowly, don't worry." Bai Chuanfeng still sat upright behind the desk, with a calm expression on his face.

"Huh~" Seeing his president sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, Hasegawa calmed down his rapid breathing slightly.

"The order has been cut, the retailer is cutting the order." As he said this, Hasegawa handed the documents he had just compiled to Shirakawa Kaede.

When Bai Chuanfeng heard the word "cut off the order", his heart tightened.

Here it comes, Sony’s back-up plan is finally here.

After waiting for two days, Sony finally started to take action. As for the strength of the first move, we have to see what impact it has on Shirakawa Electric.

Although he was equally nervous, Bai Chuanfeng still calmly took the information and read it in detail.

After looking at it for a few times, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Most of those who have cut orders are small retailers, such as large chain stores such as Yodobashi and Yamada Denki. There is no news yet.

“How many retail stores are cutting orders now?”

"Today, we have received calls from seven or eight retail stores requesting to cancel orders. In addition, several companies have stated that they will not place additional orders in the future."

Although Hasegawa is eager to challenge Sony, his pressure is second only to Shirakawa Kaede.

Because he knows that no matter what Sony does, the final impact will be on Flashman's sales.

As the head of the marketing department, if we talk about responsibility, he is the first.

Bai Chuanfeng pondered for two seconds and was about to say something when the phone on the table suddenly rang.

"Moxi Moxi?"

"Shirakawa-san, it's me, Arai."

"It turns out to be Arai-san, why do you want to cancel the order for BIC Camera?" At this moment, Shirakawa Kaede even had the intention to joke with Arai Ryuji.

"Hearing that Shirakawa-san is still joking, Arai feels a lot more at ease."

Are you kidding me? Shirakawa Electric still has shares in Bic Camera. How can it possibly cancel the order?

Shirakawa Kaede smiled, "So, Arai-san, do you have any new information to reveal?"

"Shirakawa-san, not only did I receive a call from Sony, as far as I know, all dealers have received similar notices.

Including large chain stores such as Yodobashi and Yamada Denki, so Shirakawa-san must make early plans for the next step."

After hearing the news about Arai Ryuji, Shirakawa Kaede's face became serious.

"Arai-san, thank you for taking care of me. Don't worry, Shirakawa Electric has already been prepared."

"That's good. I don't want Bic Camera's first shareholder to fall like this. Anyway, I wish everything goes well."

"Thank you for your kind words."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Chuanfeng's face became more serious, "Hasegawa-san, maybe we should make preparations early."

——

This main plot involves a lot of plot, including the shares that everyone questioned before, as well as the protagonist's behavior towards Sony. There will be explanations later. I hope everyone will watch patiently.
