Chapter 135: A Visitor from the King of Beijing
"Keio Group?" Shirakawa Kaede stood up and looked at Assistant Komatsu in surprise.
"Hai," Assistant Komatsu replied breathlessly.
The president has been frowning every day recently, and as an assistant, she also knows that the company is in trouble.
So when someone from Keio Group came to visit her today, she instinctively felt that this might be very important to the president.
So he hurried over and told the president the news.
"I'll be there right away. Please wait a moment." Although he was confused, Baichuan Feng immediately cheered up and prepared to go to the reception room.
Just as he was about to leave, Asuka Kobayashi called him again.
"You are the president-san, you must always pay attention to your image."
As she spoke, Asuka Kobayashi had already fastened his collar and smoothed out the wrinkles with her slender hands.
Under the light, her fair face was close at hand.
The first time he was so close to her, Baichuan Feng's breathing paused, as if he was afraid of disturbing her with the sound of breathing.
"Okay." Asuka Kobayashi took a step back and looked around. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, she felt relieved.
"It turns out that Kobayashi is a Yamato Nadeshiko type," Shirakawa Kaede praised with a smile.
Asuka Kobayashi's pretty face turned slightly red, but she did not argue with him as usual.
"Keep doing your best. Shirakawa Electric with Shirakawa-kun here is the real Shirakawa Electric."
"Okay," Baichuan Feng nodded with a smile.
Perhaps because of the pressure they have been under recently, the two of them no longer quarrel with each other as often as before.
Although it seems that there is less voice communication, the cooperation between them is becoming more tacit.
After calming down, Baichuan Feng no longer hesitated. He walked out of the office and went straight to the reception room on the second floor.
…
Toshio Yamamoto sat in the conference room, casually looking around this newly established company.
The most direct feeling that Shirakawa Electric gave him was its youthfulness, not only because it was established only a short time ago, but also because most of the employees here are young people.
Like other clubs, middle-aged people in their fifties and sixties account for at least one-third of the scene, but here they seem to be completely non-existent.
Judging from the employees he has come into contact with, they are generally around 20 or 30 years old.
As expected, the young president leads a surprisingly young team.
Toshio Yamada thought back to the notice he had received from the group headquarters, and he couldn't help but become more interested in the young man he was about to meet.
Just as he raised his wrist to check the time, a tall figure appeared at the door.
"I am Baichuan Feng. I am sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Please forgive me."
"Yamamoto Toshio, your sudden visit has caused trouble for Shirakawa-san."
The two greeted each other and exchanged business cards. Shirakawa Kaede took a closer look . Hmm? Keio Department Store?
"Mr. Yamamoto, I didn't know you were coming today..."
To be honest, Shirakawa Kaede was also confused about Yamamoto's visit.
After all, Keio Group and Shirakawa Electric have no business dealings, not to mention that the other party took the initiative to come to the door.
However, when he saw the business card just now, he felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart.
"I am the president of Keio Department Store. I came to visit you today in the hope of reaching a channel cooperation with your company."
Toshio Yamamoto, who is in his thirties, is also a straightforward person. Since everyone is relatively young, he might as well get rid of those unnecessary courtesies.
Baichuan Feng's eyes lit up, "Could the channel cooperation that Yamamoto mentioned be..."
Yamamoto Toshio nodded and said, "All of your company's products can be included in Keio Department Store's product catalog and will be available in all of its retail stores.
As for the channel share, it can be based on the market price.”
As soon as Yamamoto Toshio opened his mouth, Shirakawa Feng was shocked. He had discussed channel cooperation before.
However, this was the first time he had seen someone come up and take the initiative to support the enemy without waiting for his strategy.
However, the more this happened, the more cautious Baichuan Feng became.
There is no free lunch in the world, especially in the eyes of capitalists, especially when Shirakawa Electric is in trouble.
"Excuse me, Mr. Yamamoto, but Shirakawa Electric is honored to be able to cooperate with you.
However, if you have other conditions, please state them clearly, and Baichuan will consider them carefully. "
Now that the matter has come to this, Baichuan Feng will not hesitate. He wants to cooperate with the channel, but please also state the conditions.
Hearing Shirakawa Kaede's straightforward response, Yamamoto Toshio was impressed by his clarity and prudence.
If it were any other company in trouble, they would have immediately agreed to such good conditions.
It turns out that young people who deserve special care always have outstanding qualities.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Shirakawa, Keio Department Store is very optimistic about the development of Shirakawa Electric and sincerely hopes to reach cooperation with your company."
"But……"
Seeing that Shirakawa Kaede was still a little hesitant, Yamamoto Toshio smiled and added, "Of course, if Shirakawa Electric plans to raise funds in the future, please consider Keio Group."
So that's how it is. After hearing the other party's answer, Baichuan Feng finally had some idea in his mind.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Yamamoto, Shirakawa Electric will never forget your help today."
But just because of these reasons, it still seems a bit unreasonable.
After all, he was full of confidence in the future of Shirakawa Electric, but outsiders would not think that a small company that was being troubled by Sony had any future.
As if he had guessed what Shirakawa Kaede was thinking, Yamamoto Toshio finished his coffee, stood up, looked at him meaningfully, and said, "Power and freedom."
"Independent autonomy," Baichuan Feng said naturally .
Wait, this is..., Shirakawa Feng's body shook, he stood up and looked at Yamamoto Toshio in astonishment.
"Shirakawa-kun, this is a large train station that has hosted countless students over the decades.
But there are only a few who can truly shine in the long river of history.
I hope that one day , I can see Shirakawa-kun shining brightly. "
Toshio Yamamoto no longer called him "Shirakawa-san", but addressed him as a friend or senior.
After saying this, Toshio Yamamoto nodded to Shirakawa Kaede, then stood up and left.
"Power, freedom, independence" is the school motto of Meiji University. Meimae Station is the Keio Line subway station in front of the Meiji University gate.
The founder of Keio Electric Railway, Atsutaro Inoue, graduated from the Faculty of Law of Meiji University.
Putting all of this together, the answer is obvious.
At this moment, Baichuan Feng once again deeply felt the shock brought by the Meiji heritage.
Even now, thinking about it again, why the subway line around Meiji University was handed over to Keio Electric Railway for development is a question worth pondering.
Meiji, how many strings of ties have been tied around it for hundreds of years?
How much is exposed to the sun and how much is hidden in the shadows.
Now there is one more thread connecting my body.
Just like now, when Shirakawa Electric is about to get into trouble, a timely visit comes at the right time, neither too early nor too late.
This group of interests, which is linked by schools, also has a name that fits it very well: academic cliques.
Baichuan Feng let out a long sigh. He knew that from today on he would become one of those countless threads.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce you. Toshio Yamamoto, graduate of the 70th class of Meiji Commercial College. Nice to meet you."
The figure at the door suddenly turned around, and his powerful voice echoed in Baichuan Feng's ears for a long time.
