Chapter 280 Limitations
"Young man, you are very observant." Baichuan Feng couldn't help but look up to the young man in front of him. He is very thoughtful.
"But judging from your accent, you are from Aomori in the north?"
"Hai," Ozawa nodded, "I'm from Aomori TenHT City, and I'm currently an employee of Shirakawa Electric."
"Baichuan Electric?" Baichuan Feng raised his eyebrows. What a coincidence?
"That's right." Ozawa couldn't help but feel a little proud when he saw Baichuan Feng's surprised expression.
Shirakawa Electric is well-known not only in Akita, but also in the entire Tohoku region.
If we look at the entire Neon, Shirakawa Electric is famous for its products.
But in the Northeast, Shirakawa Electric's reputation comes more from its background.
Of course, the product is just as famous, but it’s not as eye-catching as the person behind it.
After all, a young man who came out of here built such a big enterprise from scratch, and the whole Northeast is secretly proud of it.
Look, although the Northeast is a little poor and backward, it can still produce outstanding people who are famous in Japan.
Shirakawa Electric is well-known throughout Japan, let alone Northeast China.
At the same time, the treatment at Shirakawa Electric is a bit too good. There are few companies in the entire Northeast that can compete with it, and it is unique in Akita.
Being able to work in such a company has made me the envy of my friends around me.
Ozawa has encountered such situations more than once. Even the local people in Akita became much friendlier after knowing that he worked at Shirakawa Electric.
At this point, I believe that the young man in front of me must have also heard of the famous Shirakawa Electric.
"So you work for Shirakawa Electric, what do you think of this company?"
Sure enough, it was this question again. Almost every outsider would ask the same question after knowing that he was an employee of Shirakawa Electric.
The young man in front of him was no exception, and even looked more curious than others.
"Ahem," Ozawa cleared his throat modestly, "As a well-known company, Shirakawa Electric's benefits are of course very good.
I haven’t worked at other
How about Shirakawa Electric? Need I tell you?
The salary is among the highest in the entire Northeast, and the work intensity is not high. Headphones are precision components, and there is almost no physical work.
Not to mention the newly built employee apartments. I heard from colleagues who have been to Tokyo that they are better than where they lived in Tokyo.
The key thing is that the rent is very cheap. Including the company's subsidy, such a large place only costs about 10,000 yen.
In Tokyo, it would cost tens of thousands of yen. By comparison, Shirakawa Denki is much more affordable, as you can live here for only a dozen percent of your monthly salary.
Not to mention the various benefits during festivals, the annuity paid twice a year alone is a generous income.
According to Ozawa's own calculations, as long as he saves two years of annuity, it would be more than enough for a down payment on a car or even a house.
Oh, by the way, if you apply for a loan from Kitato Bank, there are special discounts.
Buy a car or a house in two years?
This was something that Ozawa would never have dared to imagine before. He had nothing to do since graduating from high school, so how could he have ever imagined such things?
So after seeing hope, Ozawa changed his previous habit of living paycheck to paycheck and is now working hard to save money.
He hopes that one day he can own his own car and house, which is his lifelong dream.
If you can see the light and hope, who would be willing to give up and become a rootless duckweed?
So with such treatment, what could Ozawa be dissatisfied with?
"I see." Baichuan Feng nodded to show his understanding.
It seems that although he doesn't come to Akita often, Kotaro is doing a good job overall.
"But is Shirakawa Electric so good? Are there any other things you are not satisfied with?"
To be honest, Baichuan Feng himself doesn't have that much confidence. Companies, like people, always have their own shortcomings.
"Is there anything I'm not satisfied with?" Xiaoze was stunned for a moment, then he said a little embarrassedly, "I can't say there is nothing, but this can't be considered a shortcoming of Shirakawa Electric."
"Oh~" Baichuan Feng became interested, "Brother, why don't you tell me in detail."
"It's the antlers," Ozawa gave an answer that surprised Shirakawa Kaede, "The antlers here are not perfect yet."
"Young man, what aspect do you mean by imperfect?"
"Of course, transportation is the number one priority," Ozawa said when talking about this.
"Lujiao is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and only the Hanawa Basin in the city center is a plain. It is not noticeable in the city, but it is very troublesome for outsiders to come in.
Currently, the only railway in Kazuno City is the JR East Line, which runs diagonally through Kazuno City.
The places that can be connected to other prefectures on this line are Towada Station in Aomori and Oden Station in Iwate.
However, the Hanawa Line (JR) does not intersect with other cities in the prefecture.
I have a colleague from Tai Kwun. Every time he comes from Tai Kwun in the west, he can only take the bus.
It ended up taking longer than it took me to get across the prefecture from Aomori."
Fortunately, Ozawa lives in the northern city of JūHT, which is only three stops away from Hanawa Station, so an hour is enough for two round trips.
However, for colleagues from other places, or even people from other cities in Akita Prefecture, it is much more difficult to come to Shikaku.
This is also the place that workers complain about the most. The antlers are beautiful, but it is not easy to get there.
Not to mention the first point of dissatisfaction mentioned by Ozawa, it gave Baichuan Feng a headache.
It turns out that the principle of "If you want to be rich, build roads first" applies everywhere.
But this kind of project is not something that Shirakawa Electric can handle alone.
Not to mention the huge cost, just the route planning requires various qualifications and procedures, which most people don't even have to think about.
But there is still a way out, but let's put this matter aside for now.
"The guy just said that the first thing he was dissatisfied with was the traffic. Is there a second one?"
"Second? Uh..." Xiaoze smiled embarrassedly, "The second is that there are too few places to play."
"Huh?" Baichuan Feng was a little slow to react.
"There are basins and hills here in Lujiao. But despite such good geographical conditions, there is no ski resort."
This is also a situation that Ozawa can't figure out. As someone who grew up in Northeast China, who doesn't know how to ski?
But to his disappointment, there were no antlers. And the environment here was extremely suitable for opening a ski resort, which made him very upset.
As for the bars, dance halls, and game halls on the street, these places are fine for occasional entertainment, but after a long time, Ozawa always feels that there is a lack of excitement.
"Oh, by the way, they also said that Lujiao is a good place. The forest is vast, the water system is abundant, and the summer is cool.
There is snow in winter and hot springs, which makes it a great place for a vacation. It is very similar to the place called something-or-other-well. ”
"Karuizawa?" Shirakawa Feng's eyes lit up.
"Yes, that's what they said." Ozawa felt that the young man in front of him was very knowledgeable.
He had heard of this place name once, but he couldn't remember it. But since the other party could name it fluently, he must have been there.
"Thank you, brother. Your advice is very pertinent." Baichuan Feng now has a good impression of Ozawa.
Although he may not have read many books, he is meticulous and thoughtful, and even more rare, he has a sense of the overall situation.
"You're too polite. It's not really a suggestion. It's just something that people often talk about."
Ozawa said politely, and at the same time his eyes kept looking at the Bic camera behind Shirakawa Kaede.
We've been chatting here for so long, but he still hasn't bought his New Year's goods.
Noticing his gaze, Baichuan Feng smiled and said, "I don't know what to call you, little brother?"
"Oh, Junichiro Ozawa, please give me your guidance." Ozawa came back to his senses and bowed quickly.
"It's Ozawa-kun, Shirakawa Kaede, nice to meet you." Shirakawa Kaede also bowed.
Shirakawa Kaede? Ozawa always felt that the name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
"Ozawa-kun, please accept these coupons."
While Ozawa was still trying to recall, his attention was attracted by something that Shirakawa Kaede put in front of him.
“Eh, what is this…?” Ozawa hesitated.
"Please accept it with confidence. This is what I just drew from the lucky bag. And I don't have anything I want to buy, so I'll give it to Ozawa-kun."
This was indeed the prize that Shirakawa Feng had just casually drawn. There was no point in keeping it for himself, so he decided to give it to Ozawa as a benefit.
"Thank you so much." Ozawa bowed gratefully.
Wow, the total value of those vouchers is more than 20,000 yen, which is not a small amount of money for Ozawa.
However, judging from the other party's attire, he didn't seem like someone who was short of money. In addition, Shirakawa Kaede was humble and they had a good chat, so Ozawa accepted it.
"Well, let's meet again sometime in the future." Having almost finished his tour, Shirakawa Feng prepared to leave and visit other places in Lujiao.
"Goodbye, Shirakawa-kun," Ozawa bowed politely.
The two sides said goodbye to each other and quickly disappeared into the crowded crowd.
"Ah!" Ozawa, who had just stepped into the Bic Camera store , couldn't help but scream.
Then, regardless of the gazes of other customers who were selecting goods here, Ozawa ran out.
However, there was no sign of Baichuan Feng outside at this time, only a bustling crowd of people.
Shirakawa Kaede?! I couldn't even remember the famous founder of Shirakawa Electric.
At this moment, Ozawa wanted to slap himself, and he was filled with regret.
Although I feel sad, being able to have a few words with such a person is something worth bragging about for the rest of my life.
Not to mention Ozawa's slow realization, when Shirakawa Kaede heard the screams behind him in the crowd, a smile appeared on his face.
The antlers have really changed a lot, and are even bigger than those in Akita.
He just arrived at Akita Airport this morning, where Kikuji Sasaki and other senior executives from Hokuto Bank and Shirakawa Electric went to greet him.
The convoy consisted of dozens of vehicles, and the scale of the event was frightening.
Baichuan Feng was helpless about their mobilization of such a large force.
But he didn't care, but others didn't think so.
Are you kidding? As a super rich man in Akita Prefecture and having brought so much investment to his hometown, how could he not show off at all?
Sasaki's high-profile promotion was also a performance for other parties in the county.
We have financial backers behind us , and they are genuine investors in our hometown, not just some empty show.
Baichuan Feng didn't care much about his thoughts.
Because as a businessman, he is confident that he will be a guest of honor for politicians from any party wherever he goes.
This is the power of money, this is the power of capital.
He didn't mind showing his presence to the upper class in Akita.
As the future backyard of Shirakawa Electric, Akita must be his private land.
After some greetings, Shirakawa Feng first visited the audio production factory of Shirakawa Electric.
However, although the factory building has been built, it has not yet been officially put into production, so I was only able to take a quick look at it.
After having a meal with the people at Akita's level, he returned to Shikaku without stopping.
The specific official business in Akita City will be discussed after the New Year.
But Lujiao is home, and going home for the New Year is always the first mission goal.
The changes in the deer horns did not disappoint him, and even exceeded his expectations.
Compared with last year's Spring Festival, the obviously bustling flow of people is the best proof.
Shirakawa Electric, apartments, Bailu Shopping Mall, and other small shops that have sprung up spontaneously all reveal a vibrant scene.
All these things are worth the money he spent in his hometown.
As for deer antlers, after experiencing them personally, he had new ideas.
