Chapter 209 A small goal(1/2)
Author: Quiet Thought
"Governor Chuanshu, thank Kanagawa for his strong support to Shirakawa Electric."
"When Shirakawa Electric chose to settle in Kanagawa, I once said.
Kawasaki up and down, you will never refuse any need for it!"
In the industrial park, the newly completed Shirakawa Electrical Appliances Factory No. 1.
Shirakawa Kaede is walking side by side with Kanagawa's governor, Kanagawa.
Looking at the brand new workshop, with a large area of densely packed machines, both Shirakawa Kaede and Ichirō-jiu-ji have an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
"The power of industry is really shocking."
Changzhou Yi Er stopped and stared at the Walkman that was one after another from the assembly line, and kept off the line, his face full of emotion.
Shirakawa Kaede smiled and didn't say anything. But his pride was greater than anyone else.
There are ten production lines all making walkmans.
Rows of equipment, a worker. The equipment is uniform and the workers are busy.
Even Shirakawa Kaede, who had already become accustomed to that, couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Not to mention, the Governor Cheung Chau who sat in the office all day long.
"All the products here are exported to the United States?" After enjoying his eyesight, Cheung Chau Yi Er turned his head and confirmed again.
"That's right" Shirakawa Kaede nodded, "The market in the United States is very large, and Shirakawa Electric's original production capacity could not meet the demand at all.
Therefore, I had to trouble Governor Changzhou to help speed up the construction of the first phase of the project."
"Good trouble, the more troubles you have, the better."
After watching the production line, the governor of Changzhou was in a very good mood and even had the intention to make a joke with Shirakawa Kaede.
More than a thousand people in this factory are all from Kanagawa.
In other words, Shirakawa Electric only provided more than a thousand jobs to Kanagawa at the beginning.
What is this? This is political achievements.
Changzhou Yi Er was already thinking about whether to sell another piece of land to Shirakawa Electric.
After all, such a deal is too cost-effective.
Hearing Changshou Yi Er's joke, Shirakawa Kaede also smiled and continued.
"Shirakawa has the same idea as Changjo Sang. Such troubles are both distressing and hard to refuse."
"Haha, the hero Shirakawa Suo has similar views"
After laughing, the group went to the office building outside the factory again.
There are also office spaces here, but they are connected to the factory. They are only two or three floors, and the shape is square and very simple.
…
As the end of the year approaches, Cheung Chau Yi Er came to Shirakawa Electric and left with satisfaction after making a wave of political achievements.
In fact, before he came, Shirakawa Electric's new factory in Kanagawa had officially started production for almost a month.
This is much faster than originally expected, and the reason for the advancement is also inseparable from the market in the United States.
Since Shirakawa Electric's Walkman has been launched in the United States one after another.
Because of its low price, diverse styles, exquisite appearance and reliable quality, its reputation gradually fermented.
Monthly sales have steadily increased, especially in October, after Walmart's full distribution channel.
Shirakawa Electric's Walkman sales have exploded.
Adding up the two models, more than 600,000 units were shipped directly that month.
All the inventory, plus the production capacity in Datian District, was almost fully occupied.
Seeing that the signs were wrong, Shirakawa Kaede urgently contacted the Kanagawa government, hoping to speed up the construction of the factory.
The contractor of the factory here in Kanagawa is also a local construction company.
The reason why local construction companies are asked to be responsible for the construction of the new factory is that this part of the cost is also included in the total investment amount and is considered to be a reward for the local area.
Even the government played a certain role in introducing the situation, so in a hurry to rush the construction period, Shirakawa Kaede directly asked the Kanagawa government to come forward.
The result was not disappointed by Shirakawa Kaede. The construction site was constantly going day and night, and the construction period was advanced by nearly two months.
It was originally expected that new equipment would be debugged at the end of the year and produced in January.
Now, in the second half of November, ten production lines have been fully powered.
It even implemented the policy of Shirakawa Electric last year, with people shutting down and working three shifts.
The reason why I was in a hurry to overshoot production capacity so early is that it is about one month left to say Christmas.
The American people also need to buy and buy during the most important festival of the year.
So Shirakawa Electric is preparing stocks in advance, and it has been starting in November.
So almost every other day, an ocean freighter sails to the United States on the other side of the ocean.
Facts have proved that Shirakawa Electric is not early or even a little late in planning for the future.
On Thanksgiving Day at the end of November, with the launch of high-end models, Shirakawa Electric's reputation in the field of Walkman is directly comparable to Sony.
It still takes advantage of "no one has it", and Shirakawa Electric's high-end model is unique.
Sony's next-generation Walkman will not be released in the spring of the following year.
This gap is the best time to win the presence and grab the market with high-end models of Shirakawa Electric.
Due to the emergency out of stock, Shirakawa Electric even airlifted the high-end model in order to save time.
Although air freight is expensive, the profits of high-end models are also high enough.
In addition, the Walkman itself has a small body size and light weight, so there is no problem choosing air transport to deal with it temporarily.
As for the mid- and low-end models, a batch was sent by planes. Most of the others were shipped slowly by boat.
Even so in November, the US market still digested nearly 1 million walkmans of Shirakawa Electric.
A considerable part of this was from Kanagawa's new factory and arrived directly to the United States by air transport.
The whole month of November is busy, and December is even busier.
However, with such a busy schedule, the first phase of the newly built project in Kanagawa, Shirakawa Electric Appliances, currently only accounts for less than one-third of the original land.
The production line in the new factory is enough to double the construction, but considering that the current production capacity is sufficient.
The subsequent expansion plan is still under evaluation, and if possible, the handheld machine production line will be expanded first.
Because the technical difficulty of handheld machines before were not high, many of them were directly produced by Anke Electric.
However, with the explosion of Shirakawa Electric's second handheld machine "Pac Man", the production capacity of Anke Electric has also begun to be short of its reach.
This "Pac Man" is currently the best-selling one of Shirakawa Electric's four handheld machines, with a total of 2 million units currently shipped.
Its figure is still in a prominent position in the retail store.
It can be seen that excellent game design is still a key factor in determining sales before further breakthroughs in technology.
The handheld consoles abroad have just been launched due to localization reasons.
Perhaps after the New Year, it will also give Shirakawa Kaede a surprise on the other side of the ocean.
So after comprehensive consideration, Kanagawa will build another ten handheld machine production lines to fill in foreign market demand and some local vacancies.
Although the handheld machine is currently abroad, it has not yet reached a market peak.
However, the future potential should not be underestimated, so the preparations that should be made must not be missed.
After calculations like this, a period of balance will be achieved between the walkman and handheld machine business and production capacity.
Looking at the report sent by Howard from the United States in the office, Shirakawa Kaede was so satisfied.
Sure enough, rice gold is fragrant. It took less than half a year to go.
The profits brought by the US market are higher than the total profits of Neon Local throughout the year.
One hundred million US dollars is easy, Shirakawa Kaede never expected that one day a small goal would be achieved so easily.
Is it easier to make money? Or can even take off even when standing in the wind?
Or will the industry develop to a certain scale and the profits it brings will increase exponentially when the market lacks competitors?
No matter which one it is, it will not affect Shirakawa Kaede's happy mood at the moment.
When Shirakawa Kaede checked the financial statements, Shirakawa Electric welcomed another completely unexpected guest.
"You are Takagi Tokujirosan?" Shirakawa Kaede looked at the business card in his hand and looked weird.
If he read it correctly, this is the president of the company that went to court with Shirakawa Electric.
"That's right" Takagi Takagi nodded calmly, "I am the president of Takagi Co., Ltd.."
