Chapter 100 Completion Ceremony
Since entering late autumn, time has been like sand held in one's hand. The tighter one holds, the faster it goes away.
However, it is also possible that Shirakawa Electric is in the busiest period since its establishment.
Everyone was so busy that when they looked up they realized that they had already changed their thin clothes into thick winter clothes.
After two months of hard work, Shirakawa Electric has been completely transformed.
A long row of standard gray factory buildings looks heavy and solid.
The Chinese characters of Shirakawa Electric and the English logo of KITA were also remade and hung in the most conspicuous place on the outer wall.
The huge fonts took up an entire row of the wall, looking imposing and eye-catching.
From a distance, one can see the prototype of the modern factory buildings in future industrial parks.
Today is the day when Shirakawa Electric was officially completed and the first day of full production.
For this reason, under the strong suggestion of Hasegawa and others, Shirakawa Kaede also followed the wishes of everyone and held the completion ceremony of Shirakawa Electric.
All employees of the company attended the meeting, which was considered the first employee meeting of Shirakawa Electric.
It was also the first time that Shirakawa Kaede gave a speech in front of all the employees.
In the newly built workshop, the bustling employees were lined up in several rows and sitting neatly.
Including the old employees of Watanabe Electric and the new employees recruited for the Flashman production line, the total number of people has exceeded one hundred.
For Shirakawa Electric, the monthly labor expenses alone are a huge burden.
But fortunately, Flashman is about to go into production. As long as it can survive one or two months, Shirakawa Electric will be able to turn around smoothly.
In fact, it is a very dangerous thing to bet all your assets on investment. Any problem in any link will bring about a catastrophic disaster.
This is also the reason why many business founders seek investment everywhere. One reason is that they have no money, and the other is to share the risk.
As for why Baichuan Feng did not take this path, it was because he believed in his own vision and had enough start-up capital.
As for finding investors, given the current investment environment in Japan, it is better not to mention it.
Shirakawa Feng, dressed in formal attire, walked into the workshop. When he saw more than a hundred new and old employees in work clothes, he felt quite emotional.
In just less than a year, so many people have gathered here, relying on Shirakawa Electric to support their families.
Yasuda and his friends with solemn expressions, his high-spirited seniors, Kotaro who was excited, Ota who was convinced, and Kobayashi Asuka who had sparkling eyes.
All of these people focused their attention on him .
Baichuan Feng let out a sigh of relief, feeling a little heavy in his heart. He would be extremely careful in every decision he made in the future.
Something called responsibility has fallen on his shoulders, and he needs to be responsible for everyone here.
However, while feeling the heavy burden, a sense of heroism also rose in my chest.
Now that we have embarked on this path, let’s do it!
Baichuan Feng walked up to the simple podium and bowed to everyone. Then he gave a straightforward opening speech.
"Everyone! Today is the day when Shirakawa Electric transforms from a cocoon into a butterfly. I encourage you all!"
“Wow~!”
As soon as the first sentence was finished, everyone burst into applause, and the sound echoed between the walls of the workshop, deafening.
Perhaps for Yasuda and the others, no matter what Shirakawa Kaede says, they will give him sincere applause.
The difficulties we have overcome together in the past and the problems we have solved are worth more than a thousand words.
“Although Shirakawa Electric has not been established for a long time, we have the most experienced employees, a strong R&D team, the most popular new products in the market, and you who have the most serious attitude.
Therefore, I never doubt the future of Shirakawa Electric, and I never doubt the future of everyone who is a member of Shirakawa Electric.
Today is the completion day of Shirakawa Electric's new factory, and it is also the first step for Shirakawa Electric to officially enter the market.
The bright future is within reach, and it requires you to work with me.
Of course, in order for everyone to be able to devote themselves to production without distraction, Shirakawa Electric has also formulated a series of welfare security systems for everyone.
Medical care, insurance, education, etc. In addition, our five-day work week is also designed to enable everyone to more reasonably coordinate their work and family time arrangements.
All of this has only one purpose, which is to make Shirakawa Electric a synonym for innovation, technology and advancement.
Everyone, let us do it together!"
After saying this, Baichuan Feng raised his fist, and everyone below moved in unison.
"Onboard!"
"Onboard!"
"Onboard!"
After three loud shouts, everyone applauded and cheered again .
This is a fixed ceremony for major events of Japanese companies, called "Banzai Sange".
It is intended to boost morale and also to pray for smooth future operations of the enterprise.
After finishing his speech, Baichuan Feng came down from the podium and immediately hurried to his office.
"President Shirakawa, we have received quotations from several companies for the OEM production of circuit boards. Please review them."
Oda from the purchasing department hurriedly followed Shirakawa Kaede and handed him the documents he had prepared with both hands.
Baichuan Feng took the form and scanned it roughly, frowning slightly.
Because Shirakawa Electric does not have the ability to produce circuit boards on its own and the equipment investment is also very expensive, it can only choose the OEM model for the time being.
Several suppliers who have inquired about prices so far are well-known electronic parts manufacturers such as Sumitomo Electric, Hitachi, and Furukawa Electric.
Their technical strength is unquestionable, but there are various problems when large and well-known companies ask them to do OEM for them.
First of all, the quotations are generally high. Just this small circuit board costs more than 5,000 yen.
You should know that the price of Flashman is only 25,000 yen, and electronic components account for one-fifth of the selling price.
If we take into account various costs such as movement, casing, labor, and operation, Flashman's profit will be greatly reduced, and even if it makes a profit, it will be very slim.
In addition to the high quotation, the delivery date was also unacceptable to Shirakawa Feng.
The fastest delivery date among these OEM factories is three months, and the slowest is as long as half a year.
By the time they arrived, the day lilies were cold.
However, the problem is that suppliers are too well-known and too powerful, and small companies like Shirakawa Electric have almost no room for bargaining.
Because they have no shortage of orders, and their production capacity plans are all scheduled for half a year later. One more company won't make much difference, and one less company won't make much difference.
Baichuan Feng looked at Xiaotian seriously, "Besides these few, are there any other suppliers who can provide quotations?"
Xiaotian hesitated for a moment, "Yes, there are some, but they are generally smaller in scale, and their reputation in the industry is definitely not as good as the current ones. However..."
"But what?" Bai Chuanfeng looked up at him.
“However, there was an electronic parts manufacturer that claimed to be Kimura Manufacturing and came to us.
They claim to be able to provide Shirakawa Electric with a one-stop service, but we have not yet responded.”
Bai Chuanfeng frowned and thought for a while, "Let's arrange a meeting."
"Yes," Oda bowed and agreed.
