Chapter 198 The Iron Fist of Capitalism
Not to mention Taito Ward, there are various complaints from Tokujiro Takagi at Takatoku Corporation.
Here in Ota Ward, Shirakawa Electric's pace is not slow at all.
Faced with the handheld game console copycats uniting together to accuse Shirakawa Electric and Nintendo of monopoly.
Shirakawa Electric used practical actions to show them what the iron fist of capitalism is.
The first company to be punched was Guide Toys, which copied the cross key patent and game content, making it a definite target.
With sufficient physical evidence, the Tokyo District Court quickly accepted the case.
Coupled with the push of an inexplicable force in the political and legal circles, the case trial process was extremely fast.
According to Baichuan Feng's estimation, the first trial should be held within this year.
As for where this power comes from, do you really think that "Surugadai's Law" is a joke?
"President, according to reliable information, Gaode is preparing to drag it out.
The other party is seeking cooperation and consultation from a well-known lawyer. In addition, the price of those handheld game consoles has dropped again and is almost down to 4,000 yen. "
In the office, Akagi was reporting on his opponent's every move.
Since he decided to deal with these unscrupulous competitors, Akagi has been paying attention to the changes in the handheld game market almost 24 hours a day.
"Forcibly dragged?" Baichuan Feng raised his head and frowned slightly.
“Hai, not only Gaode, but also Masudaya, which is in charge of Nintendo, has the same plan.
They seem to have colluded and even acted in unison.”
To be honest, Akagi was quite surprised that these guys could unite.
They are indeed a bunch of bastards who forget their principles for the sake of profit. They infringe on others' rights so confidently. They are a disgrace to the business community.
Baichuan Feng did not show as much indignation as Akagi. Face is worthless in the face of interests.
However, forcing the case to be brought to court is indeed a hassle, and this is where infringement cases become troublesome.
It is normal for a lawsuit to last for several years with all kinds of evidence and refutations.
“I will figure out a way to deal with this matter. As for the price of the handheld, we will keep it unchanged.
Whether it is workmanship or game content, we have absolute advantages.
Lowering the price at this time will harm the future interests of Shirakawa Electric.
However, considering the market pressure, some promotional activities can be appropriately held.
Also, notify Nintendo of all this and make sure your actions are consistent."
Soon, Baichuan Feng gave the next response strategy, and the delay would be discussed separately.
But when it comes to price, Baichuan Feng does not intend to compromise.
If you lower the price now, there will be no reason to raise it again later.
Moreover, he has confidence in his own products, and shoddy and inferior products will inevitably be eliminated by the market.
"President, I'll arrange it right away." Akagi hurried out of the office to prepare for the next response.
Ever since he entered the handheld game console business, and with the encouragement and suggestion from Shirakawa Kaede last time, Akagi has been extremely focused on all current work related to handheld game consoles.
This is a rare experience, and Baichuan Feng is also intending to let him take over the training.
Shirakawa Kaede is not afraid of price wars. It is no exaggeration to say that the cost of Shirakawa Electric's handheld game consoles must be the lowest in the current market.
Because no other manufacturer has such a complete processing system as Shirakawa Electric.
Nintendo is also no match for Shirakawa Electric because almost all of its products are produced by other factories.
However, although Shirakawa Electric has low costs, it is not yet time to engage in a price war.
To put it bluntly, Baichuan Feng looks down on these idiots and believes that they won't be able to hold on for long.
As for the other party's intention to force a delay...
Baichuan Feng picked up the phone, dialed a number, and the call was quickly connected.
"Teacher Yamada, it's me, Shirakawa Kaede."
"Baichuan, what's wrong? Are you in any trouble?"
"Uh, teacher, you are really amazing. You guessed it right."
Professor Yamada's laughter came from the receiver. "If you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to flatter me."
"Teacher, I wonder if you have heard about the recent lawsuit involving Shirakawa Electric?"
"Yes." Professor Yamada motioned for Shirakawa Kaede to continue.
“The infringing companies are said to be seeking well-known lawyers to delay the trial as long as possible.
The longer the time goes by, the more damage their irrational behavior will cause to the market.
So, teacher, can you please give Xiaoxi senior and the others a call..."
"I see. Wait for my news."
"Excuse me, teacher."
After hanging up the phone, Baichuan Feng let out a long breath.
For things like this that are outside the rules, we still need the help of our alma mater.
In this action against the infringing parties, Shirakawa Electric and Nintendo are each responsible for one.
It is impossible to bring more than a dozen copycat companies to court at once.
Then picking a target and making an example of him to scare the monkeys is the best option.
As the saying goes, pick the softest persimmons.
To deal with them, of course we have to pick the one with the most sufficient evidence of infringement and the worst background.
So Shirakawa Electric chose Guide Toys and Nintendo chose Masudaya.
Needless to say, AutoNavi Corporation owns almost all the software and hardware.
Masudaya is similar, but the object of imitation is Nintendo.
However, Nintendo's handheld game consoles have few patents, and game infringements are even more complicated, so the effect is expected to be limited.
"Ding-ling-ling..."
When Baichuan Feng was thinking about his opponent, the ringing of the phone on the table interrupted his thoughts.
“Moshimoshi?… So it’s the teacher… Ok, I’m sorry to trouble you…”
After hanging up the phone, Baichuan Feng finally felt more at ease.
Gaode, are you ready to face the iron fist of capitalism?
Still want to hire a famous lawyer to delay the case? Believe it or not, I can make sure you can’t even hire a lawyer.
See how long you can hold off.
"Ding-ling-ling..."
Less than two minutes later, the phone on the table rang again.
Hmm? Bai Chuanfeng was stunned for a moment. Who is it again?
"Moshimoshi?"
"Shirakawa-kun, are you tired recently? Do you want to relax?" The sweet voice of Matsuda Seiko came from the receiver.
Huh? Bai Chuanfeng was stunned.
This is a bit too much information.
"Hmm~ Now that the Holy Son said that, it seems that I am indeed a little tired." Baichuan Feng rubbed his neck pretentiously.
"Well, hurry up, Shirakawa-kun, the Holy Son is going to take a bath first."
So anxious? Baichuan Feng always felt that she was the one who wanted to relax.
"Okay, got it." After quietly hanging up the phone, Baichuan Feng raised his head and looked out the window.
As the sky gradually darkened, there was already a hint of the hazy night.
Ten minutes later, outside the apartment in Shinjuku, Shirakawa Kaede had arrived at the battlefield.
He rang the doorbell, and two seconds later, the door opened. Before Baichuan Feng could react, a white figure flew into his arms.
"Hmm~" Feeling the softness in his arms, Baichuan Feng subconsciously hugged him tighter.
After a long while, the entangled figures separated.
"Aren't you afraid of recognizing the wrong person?" Bai Chuanfeng was once again impressed by her boldness.
"Hehe." Seiko Matsuda raised her collagen-filled face, revealing a pair of small canine teeth, "Who else could it be except Shirakawa-kun?"
After saying this, Seiko Matsuda began to drag Shirakawa Kaede into the house.
"Wait, wait, at least let me take a shower first." Baichuan Feng looked at this with a look of amusement and helplessness on his face.
"Then hurry up." Seiko Matsuda changed direction and turned the car lights from the bedroom to the bathroom.
Being pushed into the bathroom by Seiko Matsuda, Shirakawa Feng scratched his head. This girl is quite wild.
…
"Working at Shirakawa-kun Company must be very hard, with the Walkman and the game console.
There is also the construction of a new factory in Kanagawa, not to mention the recent lawsuit.
It’s amazing to think about it, to manage so many things.”
Seiko Matsuda rested her head on his chest and kept chattering.
Baichuan Feng lowered his eyes and looked at her with a strange expression.
Why do I feel like you know more about the company's affairs than I do?
"Eh" Noticing Shirakawa Kaede's gaze, Matsuda Seiko was stunned.
Then she lowered her eyes and said shyly, "Shirakawa-kun, are you thinking about it again? How annoying..."
"But if that's the case, the Holy Son is willing to let Shirakawa-kun relax a little more."
After saying that, Seiko Matsuda lowered her head and walked down.
"Hiss~" Baichuan Feng shuddered, "Where did you learn this?"
Seiko Matsuda raised her head and said, "It's in the book."
Bai Chuanfeng followed her gaze and found that there was a magazine like that on the desk in the bedroom? !
I have never read this kind of book. You, a little girl, actually know more than me.
"Hiss~" This little fang is killing me.
…
The next morning, Shirakawa Feng stretched lazily on the street, feeling refreshed.
You know what, my body does feel a lot more relaxed.
Waving towards a window of the apartment behind him, Baichuan Feng was ready to face a new day of work again.
Ota-ku, Shirakawa Electric.
"President Shirakawa, this is Ichiro Watanabe, the managing director of the business department of Dai-ichi Kangyo Bank."
In the office, Arai Yu is introducing Shirakawa Kaede to the guests from Dai-ichi Kangyo Bank.
"Watanabe-san, welcome to Shirakawa Electric, thank you for your guidance."
"I've heard of the reputation of Shirakawa Electric for a long time, and today I see that it is indeed extraordinary."
Watanabe Ichiro, who was very magnanimous, bowed and greeted Shirakawa Kaede.
"Watanabe-san, I've said it before, Shirakawa Electric will definitely surprise you."
Hiroshi Arai and Ichiro Watanabe are old colleagues, and even in terms of seniority, he is ahead of him.
The reason why people from Dai-ichi Kangyo Bank came to visit this time was also due to his help.
Of course, all this was based on the premise that Baichuan Feng hinted to him that he wanted to get in touch with people in the banking industry.
For Hiroshi Arai, who has worked at Dai-ichi Kangyo Bank for most of his life, no one is more familiar with his former employer than him.
So this meeting took place naturally as the man was in love with the woman.
In fact, this is not the first time that Shirakawa Feng has dealt with people from Dai-ichi Kangyo Bank. People from the other side have visited Shirakawa Electric before.
However, the person dispatched that time was only an ordinary employee, and Yuya Arai had not yet joined Shirakawa Holdings.
So it was just a normal business negotiation and we did get to meet each other.
As for the situation like today, it is the first time that the headquarter's executive director has personally shown up.
"I heard that Mr. Shirakawa is interested in finding a piece of real estate for Shirakawa Electric as the future headquarters site?"
After the two sides exchanged greetings, Ichiro Watanabe carefully asked about the main topic of today.
Baichuan Feng sat up straight and nodded, "Yes, that's exactly what I was planning."
Shirakawa Electric was established a year and a half ago, and Shirakawa Feng also officially planned to build a grand headquarters for it.
This is not just because of the expansion and the shortage of existing office space.
It is also because it is time to show the world the heritage of Shirakawa Electric.
Looking at the peers in Japan's electronics industry, every one of them has a building named after their own company.
This is a matter of appearance, and also about the outside world's impression and confidence in Shirakawa Electric.
Therefore, the headquarters of Shirakawa Electric must have one! And it must be eye-catching!
