Chapter 170 New Opponent

The next morning, Baichuan Feng was awakened by the sound of traffic outside the window and opened his hazy eyes.

Looking at the gray ceiling, it took me a while to adjust to the state before I came to my senses.

He moved his body slightly, and the figure in his arms moved restlessly. Only then did Baichuan Feng realize that he was being held tightly.

A white and tender arm was wrapped around the chest, and a white and tender thigh was placed on the belly.

Baichuan Feng sighed helplessly. Is this locked?

"The Son of God~The Son of God"

He called out softly a few times, but Seiko Matsuda still did not move.

Bai Chuanfeng had no choice but to do it himself. He gently removed the arm that was wrapped around his chest, and reached out to move the white legs on his stomach.

However, just when the action was halfway done, a whisper sounded in my ears.

"Shirakawa-kun, are you thinking about it again? But not today, it still hurts."

What kind of vicious words were these? Baichuan Feng was stunned.

But since he was already awake, he simply sat up.

"Don't you have to go to the office today?"

"Hmm~" Seiko Matsuda yawned, then rubbed her sleepy eyes.

"I already asked for leave yesterday."

Baichuan Feng paused while getting dressed, it turned out that everything was premeditated.

"Shirakawa-kun must be busy with company matters. Wait a moment. I'll go prepare breakfast."

As if realizing that she had let the cat out of the bag, Seiko Matsuda quickly changed the subject.

As she was about to get up, the thin quilt fell off her body, revealing a large area of white and tender skin.

Bai Chuanfeng stretched out his hand to stop her, "No need, just take a good rest, I'll take care of it on the way."

Well, it’s done anyway, so let’s leave it that way for now.

However, the bowl shape is not bad and it has great potential in the future.

Matsuda Seiko, who was pushed back by Shirakawa Kaede, quietly poked her head out from under the quilt, "Then Shirakawa-kun, be careful on the road~"

"Yeah," Baichuan Feng nodded, then picked up the clothes scattered around and put them on again.

After saying goodbye to Seiko Matsuda, Shirakawa Kaede calmly left the apartment.

Looking at his departing back, Seiko Matsuda, who had just been acting like a good kid, immediately jumped up excitedly.

"Ah..." However, the pain in her lower body forced her to sit down again after jumping halfway.

Frowning, Seiko Matsuda rubbed her abdomen for a while before slowly letting out a sigh of relief.

But fortunately, everything was within her calculations. Her plans were always sound and she would never go wrong.

Outside the apartment, Baichuan Feng rubbed his eyebrows in distress, he had miscalculated.

Forget it. He had no idea at the moment, so he put these things behind him for the time being.

Not taking initiative, not refusing, not taking responsibility? Isn't that a bit too bad...

Shirakawa Feng's head was in a mess, and he didn't regain his spirit until he rushed back to Shirakawa Electric.

He has a guest to meet today, or to be more precise, someone came to visit him.

As soon as I sat down in the office, Assistant Komatsu walked in with a middle-aged man in his thirties.

"My name is Takizaki Takemitsu. Please take care of me, Mr. Shirakawa."

As soon as the visitor entered the room, he quickly walked up to Baichuan Feng and handed him his business card with both hands.

From his bright eyes, you can tell that he is a very talkative person.

Shirakawa Kaede glanced at the business card in his hand: Takemitsu Takizaki, President of Lead Electric Co., Ltd.

"You're welcome, Takizaki-san. Please take a seat."

After both parties sat down in the reception area, Baichuan Feng didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.

"Takizaki-san, I wonder why I'm visiting you today?"

Mr. Takizaki has asked him out several times, but Shirakawa Kaede, who has just been free recently, only had time to talk to him today.

Takizaki Takemitsu was not surprised to see Shirakawa Kaede go straight to the point, as if he was already familiar with his negotiation style.

"I heard that your company is looking for cooperation in the field of optics?"

Hmm? Bai Chuanfeng looked up in surprise. He was well-informed.

Takizaki Takemitsu smiled and then began to explain.

"Lead Motor has also made some forays into the optical field, and we are paying close attention to every move of companies such as Canon, Nikon, and Ricoh."

So that's how it is. This makes sense.

Recently, Shirakawa Electric has indeed been seeking to cooperate with these companies in certain areas.

As a peer, it is normal for Lead Motor to hear some rumors.

The so-called optical cooperation of Shirakawa Electric is actually to make laser heads.

This is a key component used in CD players, second only to the DAC decoding chip in importance.

Because it involves optics, the precision requirements are also very high. With Shirakawa Electric's strength, it really cannot be done in a short period of time.

In order to shorten the development cycle of the CD player, Shirakawa Electric had to look for other partners.

In the field of optics, the giants such as Canon and Nikon are naturally at the top.

However, their quotations are too expensive, often costing tens of millions of yen.

This is only the R&D cost of the bald head, not the manufacturing cost. When it goes into mass production, the cost will be calculated separately.

Cooperation with large companies is sometimes not that easy to negotiate because they are too strong and there is almost no room for negotiation.

Too much money has been invested in the research and development of chips and other projects. If the laser head also has such high research and development costs.

Then the research and development budget for CD players will only get higher and higher in the future. After all, this is only the early stage technology and the finished product has not been seen yet.

Therefore, Shirakawa Electric is still in the stage of continuing to inquire about laser technology.

At this moment, this Takizaki Takemitsu came to the door, which made Shirakawa Kaede interested in him.

"Shirakawa Electric is indeed seeking some cooperation in optical technology. I believe Takizaki-san should also know which specific direction it is in, right?"

Takizaki Takemitsu nodded in affirmation, and then he took out some small spare parts from the briefcase he carried with him.

"These are laser sensors and optical positioners produced by Lead Motor. Technically speaking, we are fully capable of undertaking your R&D tasks."

Takemitsu Takizaki said this with full confidence. He himself has a technical background and is very knowledgeable about related technologies.

He estimated what Shirakawa Electric needed and believed that Lead Motor should be able to get it with its strength.

Although the company has only been established for a few years, it is still just a small and unknown company.

However, as this is his third entrepreneurial venture, he has already developed a hard-working mind.

As long as he works hard on the research, he believes there will be no problem in designing something that will satisfy Shirakawa Electric.

Moreover, he already knew the young man in front of him. He was a practical person and did not talk about empty words.

Baichuan Feng played with the sensor in his hand. He didn't understand the technical aspects, so the technical department was needed to assess its level.

"Takizaki-san, if your company accepts this commission, how much R&D cost do you estimate it will cost, and how long will it take to see the finished product?"

This person's style is as direct as ever.

Takizaki Takemitsu's expression also became serious. He thought carefully for a few seconds before extending a finger.

"10 million yen, and the finished product will be available in a year at most."

Wow, that's quite courageous.

The shortest time given by Canon and Nikon is one and a half years.

It’s not that the task is difficult, but these big manufacturers have so many orders that the commissions are naturally prioritized.

But even so, the fact that Takemitsu Takizaki was able to shorten the time to one year has already impressed Shirakawa Kaede.

After all, it is a small company, and achieving this step is already very good.

"The specific decision will be made after evaluation by our technical team, but I have one more request."

Shirakawa Feng already has an inclination towards Lead Motor, but there are some conditions that need to be made clear in advance.

"Please go ahead, Mr. Shirakawa." Takizaki Takemitsu had originally thought that it was going to work, but when he heard that there were still conditions, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"If the product is developed," Baichuan Feng looked at him straight in the eyes, "Baichuan Electric will own half of the intellectual property rights of this technology. Of course, Baichuan Electric will also assist in the research and development process."

When entrusting other companies to develop new technologies, the intellectual property rights do not necessarily belong to the entrusting party.

On the contrary, if there is no special instruction, it belongs to the trustee by default.

Especially for some independent technologies, most of the intellectual property rights belong to the developer.

Of course, if there is a contractual agreement in advance, it will be different.

As expected, when he heard Shirakawa Kaede's conditions, Takizaki Takemitsu frowned.

Such conditions are quite harsh.

However, Lead Motor has to compete with other giants without sacrificing some interests.

And at least half of the patents could be retained, and there was no request to remove all of them. Thinking of this, Takemitsu Takizaki breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, Lead Motor can agree to such conditions." Takizaki Takemitsu gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

Baichuan Feng smiled and extended his hand, "Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!" Takizaki Takemitsu did the same thing.

"Please rest assured, Takizaki-san, the technical team of Shirakawa Electric will not let you down."

The research and development team of Shirakawa Electric is now completely different from what it was a year ago, and the cooperation with Lead Motor has not really brought it much advantage.

"Takizaki will wait and see"

Shirakawa Electric is now quite famous, so it must be of some value, Takizaki Takemitsu thought secretly.

…

After finishing a task at hand, Shirakawa Kaede had not been able to rest for two days before he was hurriedly called to HAL by Satoru Iwata.

Today, HAL no longer lives in an apartment in Akihabara.

Ever since the financial team of Shirakawa Electric moved in, everything has been completely upgraded.

The office has now been moved to an office building on a busy street outside.

It is no exaggeration to say that HAL's office at that time was even more luxurious than Shirakawa Electric's office.

When Baichuan Feng arrived here, he was really envious.

But it was only for a moment, and the future Shirakawa Electric headquarters will be larger than imagined.

"Shirakawa-kun, what do you think this is?"

Satoru Iwata, who had just seen him, immediately ran over with a small machine with a red frame and silver shell in his hand.
