Chapter 177 A sudden turn of events?

The reason why this Delmonico trading company dared to place such a large order with Shirakawa Electric at one time.

A large part of the reason is that they have already been in contact with Sony's Walkman, and they are also one of Sony's underwriters.

Reviews of the Walkman have become more and more positive in the past week. If the company's internal predictions are correct, this portable music player will soon become popular.

It happened that at this time, under the leadership of the Electronics Industry Promotion Association, Delmonico came into contact with Shirakawa Electric.

When they got the prototype of Shirakawa Electric, they immediately realized that it was a competitor to the Sony Walkman.

And it will be a strong competitor, because although Shirakawa Electric is a latecomer, their models are much richer than Sony.

The most important thing is that they are cheap! And beautiful!

There is no consumer around the world who doesn't like high-quality and low-priced goods. Although the living standards of the American people are among the highest in the world, they also like bargains.

Your Sony stuff costs 199 US dollars, but I can buy it for 149 US dollars or even 109 US dollars. Why should I choose yours?

Delmonico, who was interested, immediately expressed his willingness to cooperate with Hasegawa.

However, as a pure-blooded capitalist businessman, how could Delmonico be satisfied with just playing the role of underwriter.

After learning about the information background of Shirakawa Electric, we immediately put forward the cooperation request for OEM processing.

Sony is a multinational company that has been developing for decades, and Delmonico can only act as a channel dealer.

But Shirakawa Electric is different. It is too young and too weak.

Delmonico believed that a small company like Shirakawa Electric would never be able to refuse such a huge order of 600,000 units.

And 600,000 units may seem like a lot, but it still doesn’t make a splash in the United States.

What's more, Delmonico is an international trading company, and their sales channels are all over the world.

This amount of orders is not even a drizzle. When the Walkman really becomes popular, it may be completed within a month.

600,000 units was indeed an irresistible temptation. Bai Chuanfeng looked at the purchase letter of intent in front of him and fell into a deep struggle.

Agree to Delmonico's request, win this order, and make a one-time net profit of 20 billion yen?

Or should we still visit chain stores and supermarkets one by one and wait for the outcome of negotiations whose outcome is unknown?

Bai Chuanfeng raised his head and looked at the people sitting in a circle. Some of them had excited expressions on their faces, while others had expressionless faces, unable to tell whether they agreed or disagreed.

"President..."

"Boss..."

At this time, Hasegawa and Yulis spoke at the same time, and Shirakawa Kaede turned to them.

Hasegawa moved his lips, but finally said nothing.

As for Ulis, he shrugged, "I support any decision you make, Boss."

Shirakawa Kaede smiled and nodded towards them, and then he turned his attention to Asuka Kobayashi.

He still responded with that gentle and sure look.

Baichuan Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Baichuan Electric is really lucky to have such a team.

"Turn down Delmonico's request for cooperation."

When everyone focused their attention on Bai Chuanfeng and waited for him to make the final decision, he finally gave the final answer.

As soon as Bai Chuanfeng finished speaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, whether they agreed or not.

“Do you still remember everyone’s vision for the future when Shirakawa Electric was established?

If Baichuan Electric wants to become a company that represents technology, innovation, and advancement, then we must ensure the independence of our brand.

Although it is possible to take shortcuts in OEM production for others.

But in that case, Shirakawa Electric will always be a local company.

The international stage is so rich and colorful, don’t you want to experience it?”

"President" Hasegawa stood up excitedly and wanted to say something, but in the end he just clenched his fist and waved hard, "Fuck it, Dad."

"Daddy!" Everyone encouraged each other in a tacit understanding.

Bai Chuanfeng's words completely ignited everyone's passion and ambition.

They traveled thousands of miles to the other side of the ocean, and they have done everything they have done to this day.

Isn't it all to make the name "Shirakawa Electric" take root and flourish in the United States?

A multinational company, a multinational company that represents technological innovation and is recognized by consumers around the world, is the direction in which we strive.

Sony is not only a target for Shirakawa Electric to catch up in Neon's hometown, but also an opponent who wants to compete on the world stage.

If Shirakawa Kaede agrees to Delmonico's cooperation request, he will become his OEM manufacturer.

So to a certain extent, Shirakawa Electric has lost the qualification to shine on the international stage.

If Bai Chuanfeng just wants to make money, then there is nothing wrong with this choice.

But as someone who has lived through a new life, he always has the urge to "make something famous" in his heart.

After all, coming from the future, it shouldn't be difficult for him to make money, but people have to be a little bit pursuing.

Now that it has been decided to reject Delmonico's cooperation request, the question has returned to the original point, how to open the market for Shirakawa Electric's Walkman in North America.

After some discussion, everyone decided to continue with the previous strategy.

Hasegawa is responsible for contacting distributors led by the Electronics Industry Promotion Association, and their scale may not be large.

But if it is taken down, it can also have a certain influence among several cities.

No matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat. It is always a good choice to gain some reputation for Shirakawa Electric.

As for Shirakawa Kaede, tomorrow he and Yulis are going to visit the next supermarket chain, Target.

This is the second largest retail department store in the United States after Wal-Mart. Although it has just been established for more than ten years, it is much younger than Wal-Mart.

But its supermarket chains have spread all over the United States.

If Shirakawa Electric successfully settles in, the results will not be much worse than Wal-Mart.

Just as Shirakawa Kaede and Yulis were studying Target's information, a long-distance call from Neon Hometown made him even more anxious.

After hanging up the phone, Bai Chuanfeng rubbed his brows in distress, everything came together.

"What's wrong?" Asuka Kobayashi gently placed a cup of coffee in front of him.

"Thank you." Bai Chuanfeng picked up the coffee and took a sip before letting out a long breath.

"HAL's first handheld prototype has been released and is waiting for me to go back and make final decisions."

Since handing over the task last time, the busy Bai Chuanfeng even forgot that it was time to produce results on the handheld device.

Now Iwata Satoru and Tanimura are waiting for him to go back and accept their results over the past month.

If there is no problem, it is only right to put Shirakawa Electric's handheld console on the market as soon as possible.

But at this time, Shirakawa Kaede was still on the other side of the ocean, and it was still unclear whether he could even be contacted. This made Iwata Satoru and others anxious.

So I found the contact information of the U.S. branch from Shirakawa Electric's headquarters, and after several rounds of calls, I successfully made the call here.

In fact, not only were they anxious, but Bai Chuanfeng himself was also anxious.

The controller is related to the next step of Shirakawa Electric's future layout, and he must personally check it before he can rest assured.

The development of the US market is undoubtedly equally important, and to some extent it even determines the future upper limit of Shirakawa Electric.

Bai Chuanfeng, who felt a little depressed inside, stood up and casually unbuttoned the collar of his clothes, wandering around the office.

Should we go back first to finalize the final version of the handheld console and put it on the market as soon as possible? Or should we continue to fight against those chain stores here in the United States?

If we return to China at this time, we don’t know when the next progress will be made on things here in the United States.

"Don't worry, you are the president Sang."

Taking advantage of Shirakawa Kaede's break, Asuka Kobayashi walked up to him and fastened the unbuttoned collar for him.

Seeing her slowly arranging her clothes, Bai Chuanfeng's irritable heart felt inexplicably relaxed.

"I'm sorry." Bai Chuanfeng smiled sheepishly at her.

Asuka Kobayashi shook her head, "You have done enough."

Bai Chuanfeng sighed with relief, "Anyway, let's wait until the people from Target meet tomorrow first."

It would be best if everything goes well, but if progress is still slow, then Shirakawa Kaede can only fly back to Neon first and decide on the handheld game as soon as possible.

As for the American market, we can only leave it to Hasegawa and Ulis first.

The next day, Shirakawa Kaede and Ulis regained their energy and prepared to continue to attack the second largest retailer in the United States, Target.

However, before Bai Chuanfeng went out, an unexpected call completely disrupted his schedule.
