Chapter 156: Flyman's recurrence

Today Hasegawa took the marketing department's people to the channel to maintain and maintain each other's relationship.

As a result, I suddenly saw it in an electrical appliance retail store, which looked very similar to my own flashman.

There are several colors, but the color styles are somewhat different, and the same earphones.

At first, at first glance, Hasegawa thought it was his own walkman, but he came closer to see "AIWA".

Hasegawa felt a little nervous. Then, he picked up two Walkmans and ran away without saying anything. Finally, he rushed back to Shirakawa Electrical Appliances, but Shirakawa Kaede was not here again.

There was no way, he could only take the Walkman to the Technical Department, wanting them to see what was going on.

As a result, the butt was not sitting on his back and happened to come back again, so Hasegawa ran upstairs without stopping, and then the current scene came about.

"Aihua's Walkman?" Shirakawa Kaede couldn't help but get up and walk forward.

How could Aihua make a walkman? Is it the local authorization given to him by Sony?

But according to reason, Sony should notify Shirakawa Electric in advance to discuss this matter.

But Shirakawa Kaede didn't hear any relevant news. This was because he was suppressed by his sales last month, and then he let the dog bite him?

Pressing all the guesses in his heart, Shirakawa Kaede picked up the walkman handed over by Hasegawa and looked carefully.

Hum?flyman?

What a fuck, seeing this name, Shirakawa Kaede almost spit out old blood.

Especially the first two letters of "fl", even the font is consistent with the first two letters of flashman.

"walkman", "flashman", "flyman".

Damn, the names are more than the other ones.

"This birdman named the Walkman flyman?" Shirakawa Kaede felt his blood pressure surging a little.

"Yes, President, they are simply outrageous." Hasegawa was also full of anger, and the hard rub was too obvious.

"This dog said"

"Eh?" Hasegawa didn't understand what his president just said.

"It's okay." Shirakawa Kaede waved his hand irritably, and when he was excited, even the dialect of his hometown popped up.

The key is that Ai Hua is shameless, and Shirakawa Kaede is really angry.

Isn’t this a complete copycat? You, Aihua Company, can do this?

What made Shirakawa Kaede even more uncomfortable was that Aihua's earbuds were authorized by him, but he nodded in agreement.

At the beginning, Yusuke Mibian also asked his subordinates to ask casually because he heard that Shirakawa Electric has always been very generous in authorizing this aspect.

Since you can easily get the authorization, there is no need to force it directly.

Unexpectedly... Shirakawa Electric actually agreed.

Then what else is there to say? Aihua also unceremoniously equipped his Walkman with the popular earbuds.

With the authorization of earphones, Shirakawa Electric will receive a patent fee of several yen for every one produced by other manufacturers.

Compared to the price of thousands of yen, the patent fee of a few yen is also a bit of a small matter.

Therefore, many audio equipment manufacturers have been authorized by Shirakawa Electric.

However, now I see that Aihua not only uses her own walkman, but also uses headphones officially authorized by Shirakawa Electric.

Shirakawa Kaede felt so uncomfortable, he didn't talk about martial ethics.

In fact, he might not have expected that when Osenone Yukizo saw Shirakawa Electric's flashman, he had similar expressions...

So the way of heaven is good for reincarnation, who will the heaven spare?

However, the reason why Aihua did this has to start with Valentine's Day last month.

The sensation caused by Shirakawa Electric's Valentine's Day promotion was overwhelmingly over Sony.

Aihua's Mibian Yusuke immediately made a decision and made several different colors like Shirakawa Electric.

The color is different from Shirakawa Electric, but I will accept the creativity of different color schemes without any politeness.

In addition, March is also White Valentine's Day, and there is another wave of activities on that day.

That happens, Aihua's Walkman was also launched on White Valentine's Day.

Do you think this is a coincidence? What’s more coincidental is that Aihua doesn’t even need to do marketing, and it’s enough to start selling directly on this day.

This ride-sharing is in vain, just like Shirakawa Electric used to sell Sony's Walkman.

False business wars, strategizing and winning thousands of miles.

In a real business war, you copy me, I copy it.

Just when Shirakawa Kaede was depressed and was about to call Oga Nobuo, Hasegawa said that he had something to say.

"President, Aihua not only imitates our Shirakawa Electric Appliances everywhere, but also overstated that their circuit designs are similar to ours."

"Hmm?" Shirakawa Feng's face turned serious.

Whether it is the name of the Walkman, the color scheme, or the marketing.

After all, it is also taking advantage of Shirakawa Electric's popularity and creativity. If you insist on plagiarism, it is really difficult to identify because this matter is hard to tell at all.

However, the circuit board design is almost the same, so it is not a plagiarism, and it even involves the leakage of company confidential documents.

"Are you sure?" Shirakawa Feng asked again with a serious look.

"Confirm" Hasegawa also nodded seriously, and said that he took out two circuit boards.

"President, look, this is a comparison between our circuit board and Aihua circuit board."

Hasegawa had someone dismantled one in the technical department downstairs.

After all, the popularity is so tight that it is hard not to doubt whether the things inside it are similar.

As a result, it really looks similar.

Shirakawa Kaede picked up two circuit boards and compared them in detail.

It is indeed very similar. Except for the differences in a few places, the layout of most components is quite different.

He didn't believe that the designers of the two companies would have a collision of ideas, and even the circuits they designed were so similar.

If it is not that one in ten thousand probability, then...

A hint of coldness flashed in Shirakawa's eyes, and core technology was related to the life and death of a company.

No matter who leaked this part of the technical information, Shirakawa Kaede didn't plan to do it afterwards.

"Can you conclude that they copied?" The most urgent thing is Aihua Walkman.

"It's hard" Hasegawa's face felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

"Although most of the circuits are similar, there are several key areas that have also been made to make it difficult to judge them to copy them."

Aihua also makes audio equipment himself, although to save time.

But you won't copy it openly, and you will be unable to tell me if you move a little.

It is also because of the reference object that Aihua can launch its own Walkman in less than two months.

With Sony's strength, it took almost half a year to develop a Walkman.

With Sony as a reference, Shirakawa Electric has made a simplified version, and it took nearly half a year to redesign the circuit.

It’s better for Aihua, just copy it and make a little more correction. In less than two months, the Walkman was launched.

The speed is like a plane, taking off directly.

"No, I can't just be so cheap."

Although he couldn't sue him, Shirakawa Kaede couldn't swallow his anger either.

He wanted to call Oga Nobuo to ask, "Aihua has not been authorized by Sony."

As a member of the Walkman Patent Alliance, Shirakawa Electric has the right to decide whether other manufacturers are authorized or not.

When Shirakawa Electric and Sony shook hands and made peace, the two companies had already formed a Walkman Patent Alliance in a tacit way.

The reason for doing this is because Shirakawa Electric has overseas patents and Sony has local patents.

In theory, Shirakawa Electric can authorize Sony or other companies.

Sony is the same, its authorization scope is local.

So in order to keep the action consistent, the two of them formed a Walkman Patent Alliance.

Any other third Walkman manufacturer will need to be approved by the two companies in the future.

And now Aihua's unrelenting production of Walkman has been authorized by Sony?
