Chapter 73 Meiji
Shirakawa Kaede's first words whetted Professor Yamada's appetite.
"Shirakawa-san, have you found a company willing to accept our field research for the seminar?"
The only thing Professor Yamada could think of was that Shirakawa Kaede had found a sponsor for the seminar.
Shirakawa Kaede did not answer, but skillfully took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Professor Yamada with both hands.
"Teacher Yamada, let me introduce myself to you again. Shirakawa Kaede, the president of Shirakawa Electric Co., Ltd."
After saying that, Shirakawa Kaede bowed thirty degrees to Yamada Naoki. This is the standard etiquette for RB business people to meet.
Professor Yamada stood up slowly with a frozen expression. He took the business card, looked at it carefully, then looked up at Shirakawa Kaede.
At this moment he still didn't speak, but took off his thick glasses and sighed with a smile.
"Among the students I've taught over the years, many have become businessmen and company presidents. But you're the first one to start a business before graduation."
Professor Yamada held his glasses in one hand and his business card in the other. He sighed, smiled, and nodded.
"Has my teaching quality improved, or is Shirakawa-san just too good?"
Hearing Professor Yamada's humorous sentiment, Shirakawa Feng couldn't help but laugh. "I think it's both."
"Haha," Professor Yamada laughed out loud, "Now I don't think it's too surprising that Shirakawa-san can become the president at such a young age."
After the unique opening, Professor Yamada motioned for Shirakawa Kaede to sit down, "Tell us about it, especially your Shirakawa Electric. Also, tell us if there is anything you need help with."
Baichuan Feng looked at Professor Yamada in surprise. It turned out that the other party had already seen through his purpose.
As if he had guessed what Shirakawa Kaede was thinking, Professor Yamada smiled indifferently, "There is an old Chinese saying, 'One does not visit a teacher for no reason.' This is the first time that Shirakawa-san has visited me, his teacher."
Baichuan Feng smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Yamada."
Professor Yamada waved his hand, "That's fine. I also want to hear how Shirakawa-san became the president-san."
Now that we have come to this point, Baichuan Feng also took the opportunity to give a brief account of what he had done in the past six months.
Of course, there is no need to elaborate on some of his methods, and I will just briefly mention them. In short, he successfully became the president of Shirakawa Electric.
The company's products have also initially opened up the market. Although the first month's report has not yet been released, there is no problem in maintaining the company's production.
After listening to Shirakawa Kaede's narration, Professor Yamada nodded repeatedly, "It's easier said than done. Mr. Shirakawa, you have already surpassed most people by making it this far.
You can even learn more from practice than from school. From a business perspective alone, you can graduate early.”
“Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Yamada.” I still have to continue studying, after all, I haven’t accumulated enough credits yet.
But since Mr. Yamada said this, I guess I will have to take his classes a little easier in the future.
"So what is the reason that Shirakawa-san came to visit me today?" Yamada Naoki also wanted to hear what had stumped the youngest president among his students.
Baichuan Feng did not directly answer the question, but took out a walkman from his backpack.
"Does Mr. Yamada know this?"
"Hmm, some kind of small music player. My daughter also has one." Professor Yamada had an impression of it after just one look. His daughter Naoko almost always took it with her whenever she went out.
Baichuan Feng nodded, "Yes, this is a new product launched by Sony this year, called Walkman. It is especially popular among young people."
Professor Yamada fiddled with the machine for a while, "So... Shirakawa-san has any ideas about this?"
Baichuan Feng did not hide it and nodded in acknowledgement.
"What's the problem?" Since you have an idea but haven't implemented it, you must have encountered a problem.
Baichuan Feng took out the parts that had been disassembled long ago from his backpack and said, "This is it," he pointed to the green circuit board full of electronic components.
Professor Yamada looked at the circuit board and was confused.
"Shirakawa Electric can handle all mechanical structures and modules. The only problem is that Shirakawa Electric has a weak foundation in the circuit part and cannot complete it independently for the time being."
If he hadn't been forced into a desperate situation, Shirakawa Kaede wouldn't have come to see Professor Yamada, who has nothing to do with science and engineering.
Without talent or connections, the fragile Shirakawa Electric can only struggle to move forward.
If Shirakawa Electric still shows no improvement within five years, then after the bubble, it will be doomed to fail.
The journey is difficult, the journey is difficult.
"I don't understand , but I roughly understand what Shirakawa-san means."
Professor Yamada tapped his fingers lightly on the table. "But if I may ask, Mr. Shirakawa, what kind of company do you imagine Shirakawa Electric to be in the future?"
Under Professor Yamada's scorching gaze, Shirakawa Kaede thought for a few seconds and then answered frankly.
“If I were to say now that Shirakawa Electric will become a giant group like Hitachi or Panasonic, Professor Yamada would certainly sneer at me.
To be honest, I have never thought about whether Shirakawa Electric will become a giant group in the future.
But I hope that Shirakawa Electric can become a symbol of technology, progress and innovation in the future.
When one day Professor Yamada hears the word Shirakawa and the first thing he thinks of is not my name but these three words, it means I have succeeded.
As for the current Shirakawa Electric , there is only one goal, and that is to survive!"
After listening to Shirakawa Kaede's answer, Professor Yamada remained silent for a long time. He looked at Shirakawa Kaede meaningfully and said, "I hope Shirakawa-san will remember what I said today, and I also hope that one day in the future, "Shirakawa" will make me recognize it again."
After saying this, Professor Yamada picked up the phone on the table without waiting for Shirakawa Kaede to answer, dialed a number at random, said a few words and then hung up.
"The day after tomorrow we will go to the Ikuta campus in Kanagawa to see Professor Kikuchi. I've just informed him and he will make the arrangements." As he spoke, Professor Yamada pulled out a piece of white paper and scribbled Professor Kikuchi's contact information on it.
"Once you get there, you can get to know more of your classmates. Maybe you will gain something extra." Professor Yamada's words were ambiguous. Shirakawa Feng did not ask further questions, but just remembered them firmly.
"Teacher Yamada, what I said before was also a sincere invitation. If you have any research plans, please feel free to ask."
Professor Yamada nodded to indicate that he understood, but didn't say anything else.
"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Yamada today," Shirakawa Feng understood and tactfully said goodbye.
"Shirakawa, remember, you are from Meiji University."
Just as he was about to leave the office, Professor Yamada's sudden reminder made Shirakawa Feng stop.
"Hayi" bowed behind him and Baichuan Feng left quietly.
A student from Meiji University? Of course I am a student from Meiji University, but why did the teacher emphasize this?
However, for Baichuan Feng at the moment, this question is destined to be unanswered in a short period of time.
