Chapter 283 A gift from the deer

Many outsiders who come to Lujiao for the first time find that there is no large comprehensive shopping mall here, making life very inconvenient.

After receiving the feedback, Shirakawa Kaede also tried to contact some supermarket chains, but they were not interested in antlers.

Finally, after examining the population data of Antlers, Shirakawa Kaede simply decided to build it himself.

Anyway, in this shopping mall, Quan should be able to solve the life difficulties of employees.

Moreover, there are more than 50,000 residents in Lukaku City, which is not a small population in the first place.

Now that the Shirakawa Electrical Appliances Factory has been established, it can attract more immigrants.

In addition, the loss of local population will slow down or even return, and the total of these will almost exceed 60,000.

The active population of 60,000 in the city center is enough to support a comprehensive shopping mall.

Neon's population is sparse, but most are concentrated in cities, and the same is true here in Antlers.

This population distribution characteristic makes the population density here in the city center relatively high.

So after doing enough research, Baichuan Holdings went ahead personally and designated a large area in the best part of the city specifically for planning the construction of shopping malls.

As for Shirakawa Kaede's decision, Shikakus Mayor Arata Abe welcomed it with both hands and feet.

All approvals for the construction of the mall have been given the green light. The design drawings were provided by a design company in Tokyo, and the construction was entrusted to the local agricultural cooperative.

With the joint efforts of many parties, in less than a year, a three-story shopping mall covering an area of ​​nearly 100 acres and a construction area of ​​100,000 square meters was built.

However, it is one thing for the mall to be built. Only when enough merchants move in can it truly fulfill its functions.

But this is not a problem for Baichuan Holdings. After developing for such a long time, it has also accumulated some business network resources.

Moreover, because it is located in the Northeast, the rent in Bailu Mall is relatively cheaper than in those big cities.

The stores are ready, the rent is cheap, and there is a good active population.

Local brands such as Uniqlo, IKEA, and Shiseido have settled in. In addition, foreign brands such as Adidas, Nike, and KFC also have branches here.

With the presence of these well-known brands, Bailu Shopping Mall has finally built its presence.

The remaining stores can be handed over to many local century-old stores.

Pastries, cuisine, sake, kimonos, these old shops have a long history, so it is not too much to have a specialty store in a shopping mall.

In this way, there are about a hundred brand merchants gathered together, and Bailu Mall can be regarded as a comprehensive shopping mall.

In the two days since its opening, even people from several surrounding cities came here after hearing the news. This is why Shirakawa Kaede saw a sea of ​​people in the mall.

It seems that there is no need to worry that Bailu Mall will not be able to continue operating and will eventually close down.

After leaving the shop, Shirakawa Kaede, Torataro and the others were on their way to the Shirakawa Electric Factory when they happened to pass by a game arcade.

What made him a little strange was that there was a long queue in the game hall, and the few people waiting at the end even stood outside the door.

"Hey, the business of the game arcade is so good?" Bai Chuanfeng was surprised that Lujiao now has such a big game arcade.

In his memory, when he was studying here, the only game arcade in the city only had a few arcade machines.

But looking at the machines in front of me, the size of the rows of machines has expanded several times.

"It seems that there is a racing game that is very popular recently, but I just heard about it."

If Torataro hadn't met Shirakawa Kaede and hadn't worked at Shirakawa Electric, maybe he would be one of them now.

But now he has no time to pay attention to these small things. The director of the business department is not as good as this.

"Racing game?" Bai Chuanfeng's eyes lit up as if he thought of something.

So under the surprised gazes of Torataro and the others, he stepped forward and chatted with the young people waiting in line.

He would even look into the store occasionally, as if he were really communicating with his peers about which arcade machines were fun.

However, it only lasted two minutes. After Bai Chuanfeng got the news he wanted, he withdrew.

"Xiao Feng, do you also like to play games?" Torataro seemed to recognize him again, his thick eyebrows swaying back and forth.

"The game is not important, but that racing game is indeed a good game."

It's not a good game. The chip in it is designed by ourselves.

It seems that the sales volume at Namco should be good. This arcade machine can even be found in remote places like Antlers, and it can be considered a best-seller nationwide.

This is a good thing. Shirakawa Kaede can already foresee that SIC will receive a wave of new orders after this year.

"Let's go." Lujiao is indeed more prosperous than before, and Bai Chuanfeng left with satisfaction and headed towards the Baichuan Industrial Park not far away.

The factories were all about the same, and most of the workers went home for the holidays. Shirakawa Kaede walked around for a while and then transferred to an apartment not far away.

This was built for Xiaolu and the employees of Shirakawa Electric, so the apartments were built very conscientiously.

Needless to say, there are not many facilities and materials, it is even equipped with a gym, basketball court and library.

It is completely comparable to a community, and the living experience is much better than an apartment in Tokyo.

After all, the land here is not valuable, and the area of ​​each apartment alone is more than double that of 1DK in Tokyo.

"I receive reports on factory matters every week, and you can ask any questions you have.

For apartment property management, you can seek third-party service companies, don’t waste your energy on this.”

Although most of the people here in Lujiao are from the same hometown, Shirakawa Kaede treats everyone equally in management and will never treat them differently.

"Don't worry, Xiaofeng. Everyone abides by the rules, and they know what the factory means to everyone, and they all take good care of it."

After all, prickly people are in the minority. Under the background of lifetime employment and fellow villagers, most people regard Shirakawa Electric as their own home and cherish it.

For them, Shirakawa Electric has been closely related to their lives for the rest of their lives and will almost never be separated again.

So in general, managing "people" will be much easier.

"That's good." Bai Chuanfeng nodded, "The headphone division should also establish its own sales department as soon as possible, in addition to relying on the shipment of products such as the Walkman.

We ourselves must also learn to develop the headphone market independently, and the prospects in this field in the future cannot be underestimated."

"Hai" Speaking of this, Torataro became a lot more serious.

Previously, the production capacity of headphones was mostly based on the shipment volume of the Walkman, and its status was regarded as an accessory of the latter.

But with the increasing number of types of headphones and the development of high-end products.

Shirakawa Electric’s headphones can also try to open up the market independently, and this will be inseparable from the efforts of the sales department in the future.

Establishing your own sales department and exploring the market independently will create much greater pressure than the previous distributed production.

But the young Torataro is also eager to try. Only challenges can lead to growth.

"Anyway, if you have any questions, please ask Hasegawa-san for advice.

He has rich experience, and it only takes more than an hour to fly to and from Akita."

As Shirakawa Electric is growing, it also needs young people in every job position to grow as quickly as possible.

Those who stand still or make slow progress will be abandoned by opportunities.

Torataro naturally understood this truth, so he listened very carefully to Shirakawa Kaede's teachings.

"Oh, by the way, isn't the traffic condition here in Lujiao relatively backward?"

Bai Chuanfeng remembered another thing, the conversation with Ozawa in the mall, which gave him a lot of inspiration.

"Traffic?" Torataro didn't know much about this situation, but someone knew.

"Railways are very sparse in Antlers, but the road system is well developed."

As the director of warehousing, Kashiwagi is well aware of the entire Akita situation.

“Most of our products are shipped to Akita Port by road, and then shipped to all parts of the country by sea.

Although the road carrying capacity is limited, it is not a problem for headphones.

The existing highway system can already meet most of the freight transportation requirements."

"Where are people?" Bai Chuanfeng's focus is obviously on another aspect.

"Human?" Kashiwagi was stunned for a moment before he understood what Bai Chuanfeng meant.

"If there is a car, it is quite convenient. The bus is a little slower."

Sure enough, it's pretty much what I thought.

Bai Chuanfeng probably understood the issue of antlers, but he needed to find someone else to discuss these matters.

The group of people walked around and quickly visited Baichuan Industrial Park.

Overall, Shirakawa Kaede is still very satisfied. And with the establishment of Shirakawa Electric, the entire Antlers has a new look.

Very good, I finally did something for my hometown.

"It's almost done, let's go back to Xiaolu."
