Chapter 268: A Visitor from Fukuoka
Namco placed the first batch of 50,000 chip orders with SIC, which finally allowed SIC to open successfully after two years of continuous investment.
A set of chips costs $60, and the profit is about $15.
To be honest, the profit margin is actually very low, but in order to promote their own chips, low price is the best marketing method.
Otherwise, why should others give up other mature chips and choose SIC instead?
Businessmen are realistic. If the performance is generally good, they will definitely choose low-cost components.
Now all Baichuan Feng needs to do is to bring SIC's chips to market and gain as many users as possible.
Cultivating the market and cultivating user usage habits are only the first step. The real explosive profits will come from the next two generations of chips.
However, even now, the shipment of 50,000 pieces can probably still bring SIC a profit of more than 100 million yen.
That’s great. If we get a few more orders like this, we might be able to recover all our previous investments in SIC.
Baichuan Feng was already very satisfied with being able to get the first order before the New Year. At least the goal set at the beginning of the year was successfully completed.
With this repayment, SIC also has the funds to continue the research and development of the next generation of products.
In this way, the minimum circulation can be maintained, and SIC can grow slowly.
This is crucial for a new company. After all, Baichuan Feng can't keep pouring money into it indefinitely.
SIC's business got off to a good start, and Baichuan Feng finally put his mind to it.
This is one of the core businesses of Shirakawa Holdings in the future, and he cannot help but pay attention to it.
…
The weather in November has gradually turned colder, and Asuka Kobayashi has also changed into a thick windbreaker.
She had just finished a day's work and returned to a high-end apartment building in Setagaya Ward as usual.
She habitually took out some change from her bag and prepared to go to the FamilyMart convenience store near the apartment to buy some of her favorite midnight snacks.
Asuka Kobayashi prepared her change and just looked up, she was attracted by a black Audi sedan parked on the side of the road.
Audi cars are not rare, but what really attracted her was the license plate of the Audi car.
Green letters on a white background, the first character "Fu" represents that this car is from Fukuoka.
And the familiar number at the back made Asuka Kobayashi dazed for a while.
Putting the change into her bag, she slowly walked into the Audi.
As if noticing her arrival, the car door soon opened and a middle-aged man in his fifties walked out.
"Miss," the middle-aged man stood in front of her and bowed respectfully.
"Uncle Shanshang, are you alone?"
While asking the question, Asuka Kobayashi stretched her head to look at the Audi sedan behind her.
The middle-aged man named Shan Shang couldn't help but smile indulgently when he saw her cautious look.
"Don't worry, I'm here alone this time."
Huh~, Asuka Kobayashi subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
"But the master also asked me to bring a message to the young lady."
The next sentence from the mountain made Asuka Kobayashi feel nervous again.
"Let's find a place to sit down first."
"Huh?" Asuka Kobayashi, who was holding her breath, showed a look of surprise.
"I say," Shan Shang held back his laughter, "Miss, let's find a place to sit down and talk."
Asuka Kobayashi's serious expression collapsed in an instant, replaced by a puffed-up mouth.
"Hmph~" After a light snort, Asuka Kobayashi lowered her head and sat in the Audi car.
Shan Shang followed happily behind him, got into the driver's seat, started the car and left.
Ten minutes later, one block away from Asuka Kobayashi's apartment, the two people were sitting in a cafe there.
"Miss, are you doing well in Tokyo?" Yamakami pulled out a chair for her and then sat down opposite her.
"No blessings or disasters, just so-so." Asuka Kobayashi replied perfunctorily, seeming to be still sulking.
The young lady's personality seems to have not changed yet, she is still a little bit temperamental.
But this is the lady in my memory. Shan Shang, who was retorted, was quite pleased.
He had no idea that Kobayashi Asuka had changed so much. It was just that she subconsciously became a little spoiled when she first saw the elders at home.
Shan Shang held the coffee spoon and stirred it slowly, "Since it's so-so, why don't we just go back to Fukuoka."
"Never" Asuka Kobayashi retorted without even thinking.
Sure enough, Shan Shang shook his head with a headache. It seemed that he was still angry about the last time he went home.
"How is mother?" Although Asuka Kobayashi rejected Yamagami's proposal outright, she still couldn't help but care about the situation at home.
"Madam is very nice, but she always nags at Miss."
After hearing the answer from the mountain, Asuka Kobayashi, who was already worried, became even more silent.
"Miss," Yamagami suddenly looked serious, "Are you really happy in Tokyo?"
Asuka Kobayashi raised her head, met Shan's gaze, paused slightly, and then nodded affirmatively.
"That's good," Shan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
He was most afraid that Kobayashi would not have a good time in Tokyo tomorrow, and because of the tense relationship with his family, he had to stay here alone.
At this moment, I received her affirmative response and felt relieved looking at the mountain where she grew up.
However, seeing that she looked distracted, Shan Shang approached her quietly and lowered his voice, "Are you in love?"
"Huh?" Asuka Kobayashi was so shocked that she almost threw away the coffee in her hand.
"Haha" Seeing her silly look, Shan Shang couldn't help but burst into laughter, completely ignoring the inquiring looks of other guests in the cafe.
"Uncle Yamagami~" Asuka Kobayashi knocked on her cup angrily, making a crisp "ding ding ding" sound.
"Haha, it seems that the young lady is really happy in Tokyo." A relieved smile appeared on Yamagami's face.
The young lady who had few friends when she was a child is now in love.
This is good too. How can we live without love in our youth?
It wouldn't be a bad idea to let her experience the ups and downs of life.
Isn't the reason why people grow up because they have tasted bitterness?
When Kobayashi Asuka saw Yamagami laughing so happily, she felt a little embarrassed and a little sad.
"Don't worry, miss. Please finish college with peace of mind. I will take care of the adults' affairs. At least I want you to have a complete campus youth."
The young lady has grown up now. How could she hide her thoughts from the experienced Shan Shang?
Unable to bear the sight of her worrying, Shanshang immediately made up his mind.
No matter what, we must make sure that the young lady has a good time during her stay in Tokyo.
"Thank you, Uncle Yamakami." Asuka Kobayashi certainly understood what Yamakami meant.
Although she was nominally a housekeeper, she always regarded Shanshang as an elder.
He, who had loved her since childhood, now stood in front of her without hesitation.
But college life is almost over, and running away will never solve the problem.
She raised her head and looked down the mountain with a fixed gaze. "What did your father tell you to say?"
The hand stirring the coffee at the foot of the mountain paused, and a sigh seemed to be heard.
He picked up the spoon, tapped it on the rim of the cup, and then put it in the coaster.
Asuka Kobayashi watched all this quietly, without any impatience.
"My Lord said that you, young lady, should not forget the mission of the family. The future of the Xiaolin family depends on you, young lady."
"You haven't changed at all." Asuka Kobayashi's voice was calm, without any emotion.
"Miss..." Shan Shang wanted to persuade her to say something, but when he thought of the special situation at home, he sighed deeply.
"I understand, Uncle Shanshang." Sadness locked her brows again, and the light in her eyes that had been flashing before dimmed again.
"Anyway, at least I can continue until I graduate from university, right?" Asuka Kobayashi still smiled brightly, but there was a hint of force in her smile.
Shan Shang nodded silently, then avoided her gaze. He was afraid that he would be defeated in front of her sad eyes.
"I haven't visited my brother for almost a year, and I don't know if he will blame me.
I used to love to pester him, but I haven't visited him for such a long time. I'm sure he will say I'm not sincere. "
Shanxia's head drooped even lower, and the expression on his face became more painful.
…
"Kitano-san, Takasaki-san, what do you think of this place?"
Baichuan Feng pointed to the factory building in front of him and the open space next to it, and gestured to the two people beside him.
"It's just across the river from Tokyo, close to the port, and there's a lot of open space. There's no better place than this."
Kitano Takanobu and Takasaki Hideo were very satisfied with the land in front of them. At least they couldn't find any better one.
"Please rest assured that Kawasaki will do its best to meet your needs. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can contact me at any time."
Kanagawa's governor, Nagasu Kazuji, immediately stepped forward and took the opportunity to pat his chest and assure everyone.
"With the guarantee from Governor Nagasu, I feel more at ease." Baichuan Feng also gave the compliment out of respect.
Today they came here to inspect the site for the LCD factory. When talking about this issue , the first thing that Shirakawa Kaede thought of was the Kawasaki Industrial Park.
Here is Shirakawa Electric's Walkman production line and handheld game console production line.
With the development of overseas markets, the second phase of the project is about to be completed and the third phase plan is about to be implemented.
And out of consideration for the future, Shirakawa Electric bought land of the same size in an adjacent location for future expansion.
Now that we want to build an LCD factory, this piece of land can be used.
In this regard, Changzhou Yier expressed his wholehearted support.
With another LCD factory, this industrial park will be almost equivalent to Shirakawa Electric's super factory and will begin to transform into an industrial cluster.
What is this? These are all political achievements and also political capital for the next election.
Look at the products made by Shirakawa Electric, it is definitely a high-tech industry.
Pollution-free , precise, advanced, and also the most prosperous electronics industry in the current development of Japan's economy.
I believe that no prefecture would refuse such a company to settle down.
That’s right, Shirakawa Feng wanted to turn this place into a factory complex of Shirakawa Electric to form an industrial cluster.
LCDs are directly supplied to the handheld game console production line, and other products produced can also be shipped directly from Kawasaki Port.
Putting manufacturing plants together also facilitates the coordination and management of resources.
Now that they have no objection, the Shirakawa LCD factory will officially be located in Kawasaki.
