Chapter 179 GAME BOY

Faced with David's possible additional conditions, Shirakawa Kaede and Ulis both looked serious.

David, who was big belly, picked up the coffee and took a sip. "Bai, do you know the service purpose of Marshall Department Store?"

Shirakawa Kaede looked moved and he had some guesses in his heart.

"The customers are always right." David didn't keep it a secret. He put down his coffee and pointed at the table with his fingers.

"Mr. David, what you mean..." Shirakawa Kaede became more and more sure, but he still wanted to hear the other party's specific requests.

"After-sales service" David said what he thought, "Bai, you understand. Sometimes these electronic products will always have problems of one kind or another.

Maybe it's a product problem, or maybe it's a customer's problem.

But for Marshall, customers are always right.

Therefore, if you want to do this, after-sales service is the top priority.

Shirakawa Electric must respond 48 hours a day at any location or at any time.”

Sure enough, Shirakawa Kaede said intimately, such requirements are harsh.

48-hour response may not be a big deal in later generations. But now it is only 1980, and there is no mobile phone or Internet.

The so-called response can only be performed manually.

The whole United States is so big, it is not easy to do this.

"Shirakawa Electric will follow Marshall's footsteps, set up service points in major cities, and deal with customer after-sales issues in a timely manner."

Although he knew that this would be costly, Shirakawa Kaede still had to take this step.

And even if you don’t do it now, Shirakawa Electric will take this step if he wants to further expand his influence in the United States in the future.

"Bai, I appreciate your decisiveness." David showed a satisfied smile on his face, and then he stood up and stretched out his hand.

"Then welcome to join Marshall and become a member of the department store."

"This is an honor for Shirakawa Electric and a pleasant cooperation, Mr. Bob."

The two sides shook hands and officially finalized the cooperation.

Of course, more detailed rules also require Ulis to come forward to communicate with the Marshall team.

The chain supermarket finally had a breakthrough here, and Shirakawa Kaede's originally anxious mood instantly relaxed.

After leaving David's office, Shirakawa Kaede immediately explained to Ulis.

"It has opened the breakthrough here for Marshall. As long as our Walkman can be placed on the shelves smoothly, more and more people will definitely like it."

Not only Shirakawa Kaede, but Ulis are also quite confident about this.

"So its market will open soon, and then we will negotiate around other department stores, and we will also remain in the same quotation range as Marshall."

As long as the market can be opened, Walmart and Target will be inevitable in the future.

"Also about after-sales service" Shirakawa Kaede stopped in the corridor, frowned slightly.

"When choosing a site, try to consider their respective radiation ranges, which can save a little more costs.

Relevant technicians will first transfer a group from Neon Headquarters, and do not miss local personnel recruitment.

At that time, we will lead the new ones with the old and the local employees will be immediately sent to after-sales points in various places after passing the training."

"I understand, Boss." Ulis nodded seriously.

He will also be responsible for the subsequent work when there is no suitable candidate for the time being.

Although there is a lot of manual investment in after-sales matters, fortunately, Marshall only has hundreds of stores in Quanmi.

Most of them are concentrated in the prosperous metropolis, and the location will not be too dispersed. In this way, the logistics pressure of Shirakawa Electric will be much smaller.

Moreover, the Walkman is on the shelves on Marshall and is not carried out simultaneously across the United States.

It is bound to gradually spread from point to surface based on sales data and customer feedback.

All of this also gave Shirakawa Electric time to react. Although he took a small step, he would not at least not pull the egg.

"Boss" was just as they were walking out in a hurry, and Ulis suddenly spoke.

"In the future, we may also consider building factories in the United States. I understand that those politicians like these the most.

And this will also reduce us a lot of trouble, this is everyone's tacit understanding."

Shirakawa Kaede nodded and expressed his understanding, "I will carefully consider your suggestions Ulis, but the premise is that our products are selling well."

He also understood some unspoken rules, but this is not the time to consider building a factory.

Ocean freighter transportation is billed based on the volume of the goods. The Walkman is very small in size, so the transportation cost is not an exaggeration.

The shipping costs of color TVs, refrigerators and washing machines are the big ones, which is another factor in why Sony and Panasonic built factories in the United States.

Because the size is too large and not cost-effective, there will be various losses during transportation.

However, Shirakawa Electric does not need to consider freight for the time being, and there is no rush to build a factory.

After leaving the Marshall Department Store building, Shirakawa Kaede found James who was still waiting here.

"James, thank you very much for your help.

I have to say that this solved a big problem for me. This is my little intention, so don’t be polite.”

For James, Shirakawa Kaede also gave him an envelope as a reward.

In capitalist countries with pure blood, dollar is the ultimate goal of all actions.

"Oh, man, you're so kind. I haven't taken you to experience the wildness of the Los Angeles girl."

James took the envelope and twisted the thickness, and immediately cracked his mouth.

"Next time" Shirakawa Kaede patted his shoulder and said goodbye to him.

"Bai, next time I will definitely take you to experience the authentic Fernando Valley scenery, authentic!"

After returning from Fernando Valley, Shirakawa Kaede and his branch members held another meeting. This time, they mainly explained the follow-up work.

He has already said what he should say, and the rest can be executed step by step.

He and Asuka Kobayashi are about to fly back to Neon tonight, and the US market is temporarily under the responsibility of Hasegawa and Ulis.

As for higher-end professional managers, the headhunter is still waving hoes.

The market development in the United States has come to an end, and Shirakawa Kaede and Kobayashi Asuka also boarded the plane to the neon in the night.

…

Shirakawa Kaede, who had just arrived in Tokyo, had not even had time to fall off the jet lag, so she rushed to the office building where HAL of Akihabara was located.

"Is this our first generation handheld machine?"

"Yes, what do you think, Shirakawa-kun?" Although Iwada Satoshi's face was haggard, his eyes were very excited.

In order to successfully move the two games to the handheld console within a limited time, Iwada Satoshi was almost skipping class to write code.

Fortunately, hard work pays off and everything goes well.

Shirakawa Kaede took Shirakawa Electric's first-generation handheld machine and Game Boy looked at it carefully.

It is about the size of a palm, and the orange shell is extremely conspicuous. In order to improve the texture, a metal-like film is also plated on the surface.

Facing the light, the orange shell shines brightly. Tsk, I have to say that Shirakawa Electric has never disappointed in its appearance design.

Turning over the front, a printing screen occupies most of the area of ​​the handheld machine. On the left is a cross key that controls the direction, and on the right is a circular function key.

A few small buttons above represent the auxiliary keys for game switching, the sound key, etc.

In order to increase the viewing, these areas are pasted with a blue printed background. They have the logo of "GAME&BOY" and Shirakawa Electric.

The most eye-catching thing is the cosmic fighter pattern on both sides of the screen, with cool-shaped shapes.

No matter what the actual content is, the promotional pictures must be amazing.

This is the rough image of Shirakawa Electric's first-generation handheld machine, which is quite simple than the handheld machine you get.

But compared to Nintendo's handheld console, it is definitely the Lamborghini among game consoles.

Not to mention the appearance, the printing screen is bigger than the other party’s.

Moreover, although Shirakawa Electric's handheld machine has no time function, it has added sound function.

There will be corresponding sound effects broadcast during the game. Considering that the students who play the game are mainly students, Shirakawa Electric's handheld console also thoughtfully increases the key to sound.

The teacher is here? The parents are checking the rounds? Press the small button gently, and the whole world instantly returns to peace, so you can have fun again.

Nintendo's handheld console does not have these functions.

It's so cold, so cold.

"Have you registered the cross key patent?" After playing for a while, Shirakawa Kaede raised his head and asked a young man beside him, Akagi.
