Chapter 151 Small Scene
Assistant Komatsu, who was standing at the door, looked at Shirakawa Kaede, then at Kobayashi Asuka, and was unsure whether to go in or out.
"Ahem~" Shirakawa Kaede cleared his throat, "Who sent me this Yili chocolate again? You're so polite.
Assistant Xiaosong, put it down first, I will handle it."
The clever Shirakawa Kaede defined it as "Yili Chocolate" without even opening the gift box.
Look at classmate Kobayashi, the gift he just gave was also a gift of honor.
Although the box is also heart-shaped, doesn't that mean it's the same as Kobayashi's?
"Yili Chocolate" is purely coincidental.
Assistant Komatsu, as if he had been pardoned, placed the gift box on Shirakawa Kaede's desk and left immediately without even Shirakawa Kaede's request.
The hurried footsteps seemed as if there was some great terror behind them.
As for Baichuan Feng, he quietly stuffed the gift box sent by Assistant Xiaosong under his desk without blushing or beating his heart.
"Shirakawa-kun, why don't you open it and take a look? Maybe it's your destiny chocolate."
Asuka Kobayashi asked nonchalantly, with no sign of anything unusual on her face.
What are you looking at? That must be your favorite chocolate.
With such a big "LOVE" on the box, even a fool can understand what it means.
I haven't seen her for more than a month. Has Matsuda Seiko become so bold?
Besides, Baichuan Feng would not be so stupid as to open the gift given to him by another girl in front of another girl.
"I'd better try Kobayashi's chocolate first." The shameless Shirakawa Feng didn't respond at all, but directly picked up a piece of chocolate and stuffed it into his mouth.
But this taste... huh? Baichuan Feng felt that he could not control the muscles on his face.
First it's sweet, then salty, and then an overwhelming amount of bitterness blooms on the taste buds.
"How is it?" Asuka Kobayashi looked at Shirakawa Kaede expectantly.
"Hmm~" Baichuan Feng, who had somewhat understood, asked vaguely, "Did Xiaolin make this himself?"
Although she felt a little embarrassed, Asuka Kobayashi still nodded with a blushing face.
"Hmm~ not rough"
"Eh?" The voice was so vague that Asuka Kobayashi almost didn't understand what he said.
But Baichuan Feng felt the muscles on his cheeks throbbing, and he was worried that he would burst out if he opened his mouth. So he could only grit his teeth and nod his head to show his approval.
"Really?" Asuka Kobayashi's eyes began to light up.
Baichuan Feng silently chanted the Heart Purification Mantra to hypnotize himself, and swallowed the chocolate .
"Really!" He finally took a breath and nodded seriously.
Then, without waiting for Asuka Kobayashi to ask, he closed the chocolate in front of him and put it away.
"It's such a good thing, I decided to take it home and eat it slowly." Baichuan Feng explained seriously.
Only when she saw that Shirakawa Kaede didn't seem to be faking it did Kobayashi Asuka finally breathe a sigh of relief.
I have never been in the kitchen since I was a child. This was the first time I made snacks for others. I felt nervous and excited at the same time .
It seems that the pastry lessons during this period were not in vain, Kobayashi Asuka thought to herself. Next time, should I make some for my pastry teacher to thank her for her patience in teaching me?
If Shirakawa Kaede knew what Asuka Kobayashi was thinking, he would swear to heaven and agree with it with both hands and feet.
Give it to the teacher! You must give it to the teacher! It would be best if you can give him enough food for a year.
Otherwise, I'm sorry, my stomach is churning right now.
In consideration of Shirakawa Kaede's good performance, Kobayashi Asuka didn't bother with the other portion of "Yili Chocolate".
"Since Shirakawa-kun likes it, I will definitely try it more often in the future." Asuka Kobayashi said confidently that the future matters of snacks will be left to her.
Baichuan Feng's face froze and he revealed a smile that was uglier than crying.
"With Mr. Kobayashi's talent, it's a waste of his talent to do this. Shirakawa Electric is where Mr. Kobayashi can really display his talent."
"It's okay, no need to delay." Asuka Kobayashi felt that she should practice more.
This..., I will have more breasts than good fortune in the future.
…
The busy Valentine's Day is over in a flash, and people living in Tokyo have returned to their usual pace.
Going to get off work and coming home, rising and setting, the days pass by.
However, Shirakawa Electric has become increasingly busier since the last Valentine's Day event.
Flashman's orders not only did not decrease, but increased instead.
The New Year and this Valentine's Day event have gradually made Shirakawa Electric's reputation remembered by people.
With brand awareness, an increase in sales is a natural result.
Fortunately, Shirakawa Electric already has four production lines, and Ota Ward can fully handle the current orders on its own.
In the blink of an eye, it was already March, and on this day, all the main managers of Shirakawa Electric gathered together.
Everyone was chatting and laughing while waiting patiently.
The reason we are all sitting here is because the monthly summary day has arrived again.
There is no doubt that the sales volume for February will also be announced today. Needless to say, just based on the sensation caused by Valentine's Day, we know that the sales volume will definitely not be bad.
Sure enough, seeing Baichuan Feng walking into the conference room with a smile on his face, everyone cheered and applauded before he even started to speak.
Since everyone is so excited, Baichuan Feng won't keep them in suspense.
"120,000 Flashman couple editions were sold in February!"
"Siguoyi!"
"Onboard!"
The roar of excitement was deafening.
120,000 copies, this is the number sold on Valentine's Day in one day.
The sales volume in just one day was more than the total sales volume in January.
However, this is not the end. When the atmosphere calmed down a little, Shirakawa Feng continued to announce, "The total sales of Flashman in February reached 220,000 copies."
"Oh~!" Even louder cheers broke out again.
Total sales in February were directly double that of the previous month, which is undoubtedly a huge increase.
And everyone's expressions were obviously much more excited than just now, because based on Sony's sales data from the past month.
So far, Sony's Walkman has never sold more than 150,000 units in a single month.
So it is obvious that Shirakawa Electric's sales in February must have surpassed Sony's.
Flashman surpassed Sony in sales just two months after its release. Although this achievement was achieved through marketing activities, it is still a result to be proud of.
If there is one, there will be two. More importantly, this has boosted the confidence of all employees of Shirakawa Electric.
Sony is not invincible. Shirakawa Electric has already slayed the dragon once.
A strong heart has a much higher future or ceiling than a mediocre person who only follows others to get the benefits.
This is the most valuable gain for Shirakawa Electric in this marketing battle.
Although Shirakawa Electric spent nearly 100 million yen on publicity and promotion in February alone.
But it turned out to be all worth it.
Well, the doubled turnover compared to last month is the best proof.
Baichuan Feng was not stingy with his gratitude for everyone's hard work.
The special bonuses given to them are several times their monthly salary. Not only these management, but also front-line employees are given rewards and various benefits.
Baichuan Feng knew very well that if everyone wanted to maintain a high spirit, a substantial material foundation was also an indispensable part.
The company is still in its growth stage, and only proper incentives can enable everyone to take more positive initiatives.
Compared with the profits brought by product sales, these bonuses are small money.
And with money, he can do more things.
…
Sony Building.
Ozone Kozo sat at the head of the conference room with a sullen look on his face, not saying a word.
The people below were like quails, huddled in their seats, motionless.
Everyone even subconsciously lowered their breathing, for fear of accidentally angering the big boss.
In fact, there is no need to provoke them, as Ozone Yukizo is already on the verge of going berserk.
He glanced around expressionlessly, and finally set his sights on Oda from the Planning Department.
The latter's body trembled visibly, and he raised his head timidly but did not dare to look Ozone Kozo in the eye.
Thinking about Sony's Valentine's Day bundle sale plan, Oda couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
"Mr. Oda," Ozone Kozo's voice came from far above.
As expected, he was the first one to be named, and Oda sighed inwardly.
He raised his head in fear and saw Ozone Kozo looking at him expressionlessly.
"Read it for a while," Ozone Kozo pushed the document in his hand towards him.
Oda took the document hesitantly, and after reading the information on it, he felt even more dry in the mouth.
"Nian" Ozone Kozo's voice did not reveal any emotion.
"Hai" Oda rolled his throat a few times and began to recite with gritted teeth.
"Monthly summary of Sony's Walkman Division products..."
"Just read the last sentence." Before Oda could finish his sentence, he was interrupted mercilessly by Ozone Yukizo.
Oda was stuck and was stunned for a while before he reacted. At this time, the sweat on his forehead was enough to reflect the light from above his head.
"Walkman's total sales in February were 150,000 units, while its rival Flashman is expected to sell more than 200,000 units..."
"shame!"
Ozone Kozo slammed the table violently.
"Huh!" Everyone below, including Oda who was standing, lowered their heads subconsciously.
"A despicable person who relies on imitating Sony products has surpassed Sony in sales! This is a great shame!"
The emotional Ozone Kozo's face turned red, the anger in his eyes seemed to be bursting out, and the blue veins on his neck also rose with the roar.
"Everyone, Sony is the original creator, but now it has been surpassed by imitators. This is a shame not only for Sony, but also for me and everyone here!"
"Ha!" Everyone continued to bow their heads.
"I don't care what method you use, but Sony must be number one next month! And it will always be number one! And it can only be number one!"
"Hayi" then everyone bowed their heads.
After a fit of rage, Ozone Kozo's anger was slightly relieved.
“In addition, we will increase the number of styles of cheap models targeting the low-end market next year.
I only have one request, our products must be better than Shirakawa Electric's.
Whether it is price, quality or appearance.
I don’t want to see Shirakawa Electric’s products appear on the market again next year.”
"Ha!" Everyone's heads were almost lowered to their crotches.
"Adjourn the meeting!" Ozone Yukizo didn't even take the document that Oda had just read, and walked out of the meeting room angrily.
At this moment, he really regretted that he should have insisted on acquiring Shirakawa Electric instead of granting each other patents and shaking hands to make peace.
Ohga Norio-san is still too indecisive. Not decisive enough, and not as cold-blooded as a businessman should be.
