Chapter 252: How are you, Brother?
After listening to Shirakawa Kaede's offer, Ohga Norio pondered for a long time before slowly speaking.
"Mr. Shirakawa, I'm sure you also know the importance of the sound technology team to an audio equipment manufacturing company.
If Aiwa loses its sound team, then all of Aiwa’s business will suffer.”
Just look at Aiwa's products and you will know that none of them, such as speakers and microphones, can be separated from the support of sound technology.
So Ohga Norio’s meaning is very clear, this offer is very unreasonable.
"Ohga-san, Shirakawa Electric has given something to Aiwa, so it should be rewarded."
I took over for you, so I should at least give you some compensation.
Baichuan Feng has already made up his mind to get some benefits from Aihua.
Under his burning gaze, Ohga Norio also understood his plan.
“How about this, Aiwa’s sound technology team cannot be moved, but the relevant technologies can be packaged and licensed to Shirakawa Electric.
Mr. Shirakawa, this is already Aihua's biggest concession, please respect this sincerity."
This compromise is the most appropriate way of dealing with the situation that Ohga Norio can accept .
Packaging related technology licensing? That's not impossible.
Although the Shirakawa Electric team is younger , they do not have as much experience.
But if technology is introduced, we can grow rapidly.
Moreover, these sound effects technologies of Aiwa are enough for Shirakawa Electric to digest for two to three years and remain in the first tier of mainstream level.
In that case, there is nothing to hesitate about.
Baichuan Feng stood up and stretched out his right hand.
"Okay, let's do as Oga-san said. Shirakawa Electric will accept the deal."
"It's a deal!" Ohga Norio also stretched out his hand and shook hands with him.
In less than an hour, the two men finalized a huge deal of 1.6 billion yen.
However, both Shirakawa Kaede and Ohga Norio seemed to be accustomed to it.
When the company has grown to a certain size, every transaction that is worthy of President Sang's personal approval is calculated in billions at least.
After coming out of the Sony Building, Shirakawa Feng returned to the car and did not rush to ask Kojima to start the car. Instead, he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes in deep thought.
Shirakawa Kaede had expected that Ohga Norio might be looking for him because of Aihua.
But what he didn't expect was that Ohga Norio wanted Shirakawa Electric to acquire shares in Aiwa.
This was completely beyond his expectations, but within just a few minutes, Baichuan Feng decided to accept the deal.
His opinion of Aihua remained unchanged. Its future was mediocre and it would not cause any more waves.
But the reason why Baichuan Feng is still willing to spend this money is that he regards this transaction as a financial product.
That’s right, it’s a financial product.
In a few years it will be the bubble era, when stock markets all over Japan will soar.
Even if Aiwa's performance is not very good, the stock price will still be raised under the tide of the times.
That was the best time for Baichuan Feng to sell Aihua shares, so from a financial perspective alone, this transaction was definitely not a loss.
After thinking about all the details again, Baichuan Feng opened his eyes.
"Kojima-san, go to Bunkyo-ku."
"Hayi"
The car started and roared away from the street where the Sony Building was located.
…
Forty minutes later, the car stopped in front of a villa.
Bai Feng did not get out of the car, but picked up the phone in the car and started dialing.
That’s right, car phones were already in commercial use at the end of 1979.
Naturally, Shirakawa Kaede's Toyota Century is also equipped with one .
Soon the call was connected and there was a response.
"Brother, it's me, Baichuan."
"Huh?" Nakajima Heitaro, who was sitting in the study, still had a dull look in his eyes, and seemed to be unresponsive.
"I'm downstairs from your house, come down now and let's go have a drink."
"Eh?" This time, Nakajima Heitaro's dull eyes began to regain a bit of liveliness.
He turned around and drew open the curtains, only to see a black Toyota Century downstairs slowly lowering its windows.
His junior fellow student in the car waved to him while holding up the phone.
"Brother, I'll wait for you here." After saying that, Bai Chuanfeng hung up the phone and smiled at the figure upstairs.
Nakajima Heitaro put down the phone with a complicated look, feeling both conflicted and relieved.
Five minutes later, Baichuan Feng, who was sitting in the car waiting quietly, finally saw the figure appear across the road.
The car door opened and a figure lowered his head and got into the car.
"How are you, brother?"
Nakajima Heitaro gave a bitter smile. How could this be considered safe and sound?
"Junior brother, let's go first."
"Okay." Baichuan Feng smiled and said nothing, then signaled Xiaodao to drive.
From the corner of his eyes, Shirakawa Feng could see that Nakajima Heitaro's face was not very good, and he didn't seem to be interested in speaking.
So Baichuan Feng didn't disturb him and let him daydream quietly.
Before leaving for Sony headquarters, Shirakawa Kaede asked Assistant Komatsu to find out information about Sony and Aiwa.
Although there was no evidence, the rumor that Aihua's president was about to resign still caught Shirakawa Feng's attention.
As a listed company, any slight disturbance will be magnified by the stock market and cause a lot of rumors.
It is difficult to tell whether these news are true or false, but for Shirakawa Feng who knows the inside story, it is a very obvious signal.
Later at Sony, I heard that Norio Ohga was looking for a buyer for Aiwa Holdings.
Baichuan Feng was almost certain that his senior brother might really leave Aihua.
So if Sony calls him back after he leaves Aiwa, will they continue to entrust him with important tasks?
The answer is obvious, not to mention that his old rival Ozone Yukizo would interfere.
Just because of the billions he spent at Aihua, he will not be re-employed.
According to Baichuan Feng's estimation, there is a high probability that he will be assigned to an unimportant department to sit on the bench and then enjoy the retirement.
With this senior brother's seemingly open-minded but actually arrogant character, he suffered a double blow in his career.
I will definitely not stay in Aiwa or Sony and endure other people's cold eyes.
So after leaving the Sony Building, Shirakawa Kaede went straight to Bunkyo Ward where Nakajima Heitaro's home was.
Having dealt with this senior brother for so long, Baichuan Feng also knew where he lived.
After arriving here, I made a phone call and found out that he had indeed returned home as I expected.
Looking at the expression on this senior brother's face at this moment, Bai Chuanfeng was already certain that his previous guesses were roughly correct.
While Shirakawa Kaede was thinking about the whole situation and Nakajima Heitaro was lost in thought, the car stopped.
"We're here, brother." Baichuan Feng got out of the car first and opened the door for him.
Nakajima Heitaro came to his senses and got out of the car.
"Hey, aren't you going to drink?"
Nakajima Heitaro got out of the car and looked around strangely. This didn't look like a place for drinking.
"Brother, before you go drink, please let me introduce this place to you first."
Baichuan Feng came to his side and pointed at the building in front of him and introduced it.
“This is the SIC building, the heart of Shirakawa Electric.”
"Huh?" Nakajima Heitaro was a little surprised.
He had never heard of SIC, nor had he heard that there was such a department under Shirakawa Electric.
"SIC is not affiliated with Shirakawa Electric. It is an independently operated company under Shirakawa Holdings."
Baichuan Feng took him straight to the lobby on the first floor and introduced him to the background of SIC.
However, after listening to his introduction, Nakajima Heitaro was even more surprised.
He knew nothing about SIC's independent operation or Shirakawa Holdings.
Is this junior fellow apprentice of mine really not joking with me?
"Brother, let's start from the second floor."
Baichuan Feng didn't give him any time to react and took him straight upstairs.
“The second floor is where the sound effects and audio technology are developed.
They provide Shirakawa Electric with cutting-edge audio technology for application in future products such as walkmans, speakers, headphones and CD players.
Oh, and in a while, the technology here will make great progress.”
At this point, Baichuan Feng suddenly couldn't help laughing out loud. It's fate.
As for Nakajima Heitaro, he was puzzled by his laughter, but before he could ask in detail, Shirakawa Kaede had already continued to go upstairs.
“The third and fourth floors are the physics and chemistry experimental areas.
The research on precision transmission mechanisms, optics, selection of coating materials, LCD imaging, etc. in electronic products will all be carried out here.
The movements of portable players and CD players, the development of CD disc formats, and the continuous improvement of handheld game console screens are all examples of the application of the above achievements in actual products. "
Heitaro Nakajima was shocked by the busy scene before him, with researchers and brand new equipment.
This completely changed his perception of Shirakawa Kaede and Shirakawa Electric.
"Brother, please follow me," said Shirakawa Kaede as he continued to lead Nakajima Heitaro upwards.
"The fifth and sixth floors are the chip development and design areas."
"Chip?" Before Shirakawa Kaede could continue his introduction, Nakajima Heitaro interrupted him involuntarily.
"That's right," Bai Chuanfeng didn't mind his gaffe, "SIC's chips have achieved some results."
As he spoke, Shirakawa Kaede found the samples that had been taped out previously and introduced them in detail to Nakajima Heitaro.
“Currently, SIC has developed two types of chips: 16-bit and 8-bit enhanced versions.
They are currently undergoing reliability and performance testing, and if nothing goes wrong they will be officially commercialized this year.”
Nakajima Heitaro's eyes became dull again. Is everything he saw real?
This so-called SIC, everything here is really the company owned by this junior brother?
The voice of "Senior Brother" Shirakawa Kaede woke up the distracted Nakajima Heitaro.
Seeing the burning gaze of his junior fellow apprentice, his heartbeat began to quicken for no reason.
"Brother, what do you think of SIC?"
Nakajima Heitaro swallowed a few times and said, "Unbelievable and shocking."
"That's good." Baichuan Feng smiled more happily, "Then, President of SIC, are you satisfied?"
"Ah?" Even though Nakajima Heitaro had some guesses, he was still shaken by Shirakawa Kaede's invitation.
"Junior brother, are you saying...?" Nakajima Heitaro's breathing quickened. At this moment, his face no longer had the gloomy and desolate look he had had at Sony before.
Bai Chuanfeng nodded, "Except for my brother, I can't think of anyone more suitable than you.
Only someone of your talent can be competent for such an important task."
"So," Bai Chuanfeng looked at him sincerely again, "Brother, are you willing to come to SIC and lead it to continue moving forward on the road of science and technology and eventually shine brightly?"
