Facing the generousness of Kansai people, not to mention Yasuda was stunned, even Shirakawa Kaede was a little uncomfortable.

In the past, when we negotiated with other business personnel, we would have had a long greeting.

Then, he kept testing or suggesting it around the bush, and rarely expressed it directly.

This person is better, not only showing off his carriage, but also speaking so naked and natural.

But soon Shirakawa Kaede adapted to the other party's straightforward negotiation style.

"Kawaguchi San means that Panasonic wants the technical authorization of Shirakawa Electric Walkman automatic reversing function?"

"That's right" Kawaguchi Nobui nodded calmly, "Good technology also needs to be promoted to consumers on a larger scale in order to gain recognition from the public and even in the industry."

"Of course, Panasonic is a company that is willing to actively communicate with colleagues in the industry.

If you have any ideas for Panasonic, you might as well put them in, we will consider them carefully.”

Very good, it’s okay for everyone to spread the topic.

So did Shirakawa Kaede agree to authorize Panasonic the creative of automatic rewinding of Walkman?

To be honest, he doesn't reject this.

First of all, this is just a practical idea, and there is no difficulty in R&D or technical barriers.

Panasonic can talk about cooperation with a large company, so if it were some small companies, they might use it secretly.

And even if Panasonic obtains the authorization, it will probably be next year when it is truly applied to the product.

So Shirakawa Kaede didn't mind, Kawaguchi's so-called cooperation.

At this moment, he had already begun to think about what he could get from Panasonic.

If you want something, you must have nothing to do.

Of course, you can't be too imaginative. If you want a refrigerator and air conditioning technology, it is meaningless to Shirakawa Electric today.

Only those things that Shirakawa Electric may use in the future but do not have are the first choice.

In terms of audio, sound effects technology has been packaged with Aihua.

Digital technology, uh, this seems a bit difficult.

Everyone is holding on to the cutting-edge technology that has not been released.

This is one of the strategic layouts of future products, how can it be easily shown to others?

Panasonic has not involved in handheld machines at all, so this can be ignored directly.

So what else is there in Panasonic? Shirakawa Kaede is worth remembering.

He looked at Kuichi Kawaguchi who was waiting for his response, and then looked at Yasuda who was frowning.

Hey, when he saw Yasuda, he remembered something.

"Kawaguchi San" Shirakawa Kaede slightly approached his body, "Shirakawa Electric can reach an agreement with Panasonic on this authorization."

Kawaguchi Nan smiled slightly on his face. Although this Shirakawa Sang was young, he was still quite conscious of the current affairs.

"However, Shirakawa Electric also hopes to cooperate with Panasonic in the energy field."

Hum? Kawaguchi Nan was stunned.

We are clearly talking about audio, but why did you suddenly turn to an unrelated energy source?

"Energy?" The turn was too big, and Kawaguchi Nan couldn't react a little.

Not to mention him, even Yasuda who was sitting with Shirakawa Kaede was a little stunned.

"Please don't get me wrong. Shirakawa Electric wants to cooperate with Panasonic in the specific area of ​​battery."

Seeing that the other party was still wondering, Shirakawa Kaede explained in considerately.

Battery technology? Kawaguchi Nanichi finally showed a sudden look.

Panasonic has been involved in the battery field since 1923. After decades of development, it has long been spread across various tracks of battery technology.

Lead-acid batteries for automobiles, acid-alkaline batteries for households, solar cells for new energy fields, hydrogen batteries, etc. are all involved.

Some have been put into the market for commercial use, while others are still doing cutting-edge development.

However, none of them can be compared with a small automatic belt turning technology in front of you.

Kawaguchi Nan looked strange, "Shankawa said frankly that the value of battery technology is completely incomparable to tape walkman flip technology.

Is it too hard for you to make such a request?"

His impression of Shirakawa Kaede is actually quite good, but has the other party really seriously considered such a rude request?

"Kawaguchi San and Shirakawa Electric do not intend to directly exchange technology with Panasonic with this authorization.

We will have different compensation, and what Shirakawa Electric wants to try is just household battery technology."

Of course, Shirakawa Kaede knew the difference in value between the two, and he was not so arrogant that he wanted to use this and use Panasonic to exchange it in a peer-to-peer exchange.

He just wanted to solve the battery life problem for his own Walkman and try it out in the energy field.

"Home battery?" After hearing Shirakawa Kaeda's explanation, Kawaguchi Nanichi subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that this Shirakawa Sang is still self-aware and does not rely on Panasonic to come to the door and speak out loudly.

The reason why Kawaguchi Nanichi relaxed his mind is that household batteries have obvious limitations compared to other types of batteries.

The market seems to be vast, but the profit is limited.

Radio, remote control, toys, etc. are used, but the price of a No. 5 or No. 7 battery is only a few dozen yen.

The profit is very thin, and even if the total amount increases, the final income will be average.

To put it bluntly, the added value is low, and the gap is too big compared to functional electronic products.

Moreover, household batteries are not a monopoly industry, so Quan Neon has too many of them in this industry.

For example, Sanyo, which has a high overlap with Shirakawa Electrical Appliances business, also makes household batteries.

So Nan Kawaguchi was not too surprised to hear that Shirakawa Kaede wanted to enter this field.

After all, Japanese companies are famous for their complex business, and everyone is not surprised by this.

Moreover, the real profitable ones are other technical battery fields, such as lead-acid batteries used in cars. One piece is less than a few thousand yen, and more than one hundred thousand used in high-end cars are possible.

Not to mention solar and hydrogen batteries, lithium batteries, once they can be commercialized on a large scale, they will almost be a giant in the energy field.

In Panasonic, the household battery that has been mature and has severely rewinded is not the focus of the business in Panasonic's eyes.

"I already understand what Shirakawa San's meaning is, but household battery technology is not within the business scope of Technics.

All I can do is to give Shirakawa Sang’s thoughts to the headquarters.

As for the final result, I can’t make any guarantee.”

After thinking about it over and over again, Nan Kawaguchi finally gave a relatively conservative statement.

After all, he is just an employee under the audio department, and battery technology is not only cross-departmental but also cross-professional.

"Of course," Shirakawa Kaede nodded, "Shirakawa Electric's battery technology is only for our company's electronic products.

In addition, regardless of whether Panasonic agrees or not, Shirakawa Electric will actively communicate with you to cooperate with the authorization."

"Okay" Seeing Shirakawa Kaede so sincere, Kawaguchi nodded with satisfaction, "I will definitely convey the expectations of your company to the headquarters."

"In this way, I hope we will have more in-depth cooperation with each other next time we meet."

"Extremely happy."

Just as Kawaguchi was about to leave together, Shirakawa Kaede signaled him to be calm.

"Kawaguchi Sand comes to Tokyo once, how can you not appreciate the charm here?"

"Hmm?" Nanyi Kawaguchi looked slightly moved.

"After a moment, I will arrange for a guide to accompany Kawaguchi Sang to visit Liubengben, which can be considered as a slightest friendship with the landlord."

Shirakawa Kaede smiled and signaled his assistant to inform Hasegawa that he was familiar with these places.

Roppongi, Kawaguchi Nan swallowed his throat.

"Well, since that's the case, please ask Shirakawa Sang. Please rest assured, I will definitely go there in person."

"Then please come to Kawaguchi Sandang." Shirakawa Kaede warmly shook hands with the other party and said goodbye.

After watching the other party leave, Shirakawa Kaede sat down again and thought about his decision carefully.

"President, are we really going to enter the field of household batteries?"

Until now, Yasuda is still surprised by Shirakawa Kaede's proposal just now.

"Didn't our Walkman be criticized the most for battery life? Why did we retreat if we have the opportunity to completely solve this problem now?"

Shirakawa Kaede looked at him with some amusement, and his current battery life problem almost became Yasuda's heart disease.

He made a variety of design adjustments for this, but the effect was minimal.
