Chapter 77 Task Assignment
In the conference room on the second floor of Shirakawa Electric, Shirakawa Feng was introducing the two parties to each other.
It was too hot outside, so after exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone immediately moved to another location.
To be honest, seeing Shirakawa Kaede's enthusiasm in welcoming Meiji students, the former employees of Watanabe Electric felt very jealous.
Some people even think that Baichuan Feng is balancing them.
At the same time, they are quite disdainful of these young people who have just graduated from school. What's so great about a prestigious university? Don't they need to start from scratch? Their experience is far inferior to theirs.
Besides, although they did not come from prestigious schools, they are also authentic college students.
In this era, college students are still relatively rare, and ordinary people are naturally in awe of intellectuals.
Fortunately, Shirakawa Feng's senior brothers and sisters are all reasonable people, and they treat Yasuda and others with respect as juniors.
This also made Hasegawa and the others, who were secretly complaining in their hearts, feel a lot better.
In fact, the most fundamental reason is that the foreign players that Baichuan Feng found are all replacements for the vacant positions in Baichuan Electric.
Everyone's rights and functions are safe and sound, so everything is calm and peaceful.
After a cordial and warm meeting between the two sides, Shirakawa Feng also began the first agenda of the meeting, work appointments.
"Yoshida-san, our company's finance officer is still going through the recruitment process and is expected to start work next month. I'm sorry to bother you with the finance work for the near future."
The financial statements that Shirakawa Kaede looked at in the morning were the ones that Hasegawa had worked hard to prepare by imitating others.
Even this did not include the basic profit information. It was only after Baichuan Feng used a calculator to calculate them one by one that he had a rough idea.
He had long been looking forward to having a professional financial staff, and the arrival of Yoshida Mako solved his urgent problem.
Yoshida Mako is slightly older than Shirakawa Kaede, and she is very curious about this junior fellow apprentice.
She had also received the care of Teacher Yamada before, so she naturally would not oppose Baichuan Feng's decision at this moment.
She stood up neatly with her ponytail tied in her hair. "President Shirakawa, rest assured. Yoshida understands."
Baichuan Feng nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Inoue Ken, who nodded slightly, indicating that it was okay.
"Mr. Inoue, I'm sorry to trouble you with the human resources department's matters for the time being." The staff's attendance and salary records and so on also urgently need manpower to sort out.
"No problem," Inoue Ken stood up and nodded in agreement. Then he turned around and bowed slightly to Yasuda and the others, "Please take care of me in the future, seniors."
"You're welcome, Inoue-san."
"Welcome to Shirakawa Electric"
Hasegawa Hiroshi and others also responded politely. Just this one sentence from Inoue Ken slightly improved the impression of his seniors.
After introducing Yoshida Mako and Inoue Ken, there was only one student of Professor Yamada, his senior, left.
Shirakawa Kaede looked at the dark-skinned Sasaki Yakumo and unconsciously compared him with Kotaro.
They have the same stocky build and short hair, but if his eyebrows weren't as thick as Kotaro's, Shirakawa Kaede would even suspect that they were brothers who had been separated for many years.
It’s just that the poetic name Sasaki Yakumo, combined with his image, has a hint of humor.
"Sasaki-san, I'll leave the warehousing and logistics department to you."
"Hi!" Sasaki Yakumo lowered his head and bowed formally.
He was the only one among the Meiji students who treated Shirakawa Kaede as a subordinate.
After responding, he continued to sit down, still as silent as before.
Shirakawa Feng's eyes paused slightly, and he bowed slightly to Sasaki Yakumo as a return gesture.
This personality is exactly the opposite of Kotaro's, and Shirakawa Kaede is thinking a lot.
At this time, there was only one foreign aid left in Meiji, and he was also the person that Shirakawa Kaede valued the most, Yamazaki Teru.
Yamazaki Hui was also the oldest among the group, about 27 or 28 years old. He wore a pair of half-frame gold-rimmed glasses and looked gentle and refined.
"Senior Yamazaki, I'll leave the circuit design part to you." Unlike how he treated his seniors before, Shirakawa Feng stood up and bowed to him personally.
The seniors were considered half of his own people, and with the instructions of Mr. Yamada, Shirakawa Feng treated them as if they were half members of Shirakawa Electric.
The title is also addressed with "Sang" after the surname, with the purpose of treating everyone equally.
Although he was eager to recruit talented people, he didn't want to invite a bunch of bigwigs back.
Excessive favoritism and politeness are not the right way to manage subordinates. If these senior brothers and sisters get used to considering themselves as seniors, how should they be treated in the future?
Will it be too big to be removed? Will Yasuda and his friends have any objections? These are all questions. People's minds are complicated, so some things are better explained at the beginning.
Of course, except in public, Baichuan Feng would still affectionately call them senior brothers and sisters in private.
Keep things separate and distinguish public from private .
But Yamazaki Teru is different . On the surface, he was just borrowed by Shirakawa Kaede from Professor Kikuchi, and he has no affiliation with Shirakawa Denki.
And he happened to be the talent that Baichuan Feng desired the most and valued the most. So when dealing with him, Baichuan Feng was willing to bow his head three points and give him enough face.
"President Shirakawa, please don't be polite. Yamazaki will do his best." Look, look at this person's emotional intelligence.
No wonder he could become Professor Kikuchi's right-hand man, it takes more than just academic ability to do that.
Treat people with a warm and welcoming attitude
His answer was also telling Baichuan Feng that he didn't need to be treated specially, just like a member of the company. He would also do his best to complete the tasks assigned by Baichuan Feng.
Baichuan Feng felt even more satisfied. This was a real talent.
“Everyone, Teru Yamazaki is a doctoral student in the field of electrical and electronic engineering at Meiji University.
As a student of Professor Shinichi Kikuchi, his research and development capabilities in the field of applied electronics are unquestionable.”
Shirakawa Kaede focused on introducing Yamazaki Teru's strong academic background to everyone, and then turned to Yasuda Masaaki.
"Mr. Yasuda, Mr. Yamazaki will work with you to be responsible for the research and development of the Walkman product.
All departments of the company will cooperate with you unconditionally. Please state any needs directly.
R&D tasks are the most important thing. If you have any questions, you can contact me anytime, anywhere. "
In front of everyone in the company, Baichuan Feng directly formulated a strategy that prioritizes R&D.
He just wanted to tell everyone that Shirakawa Electric is currently implementing an engineer-oriented and technology-oriented strategy.
If electronic technology companies want to break through the siege, core technology is its cornerstone, otherwise everything is empty talk.
As for Shirakawa Electric's current vinyl record player and the Walkman it is preparing to imitate, they are all for the purpose of completing the transition.
The research and development and reserve of technology cannot be completed in a few months. It requires several years or even more than ten years of continuous investment. At this time, Baichuan Feng has already planned to start preparations.
After hearing Baichuan Feng's assurance, Yasuda felt his blood boiling. He stood up and solemnly accepted the task.
A president who focuses on technological research and development is undoubtedly good news for people in science and engineering.
As for the others, their eyes were always vaguely cast towards Yamazaki Hui.
PhD students are the ceiling of RB academic qualifications. Many of you here may never have the opportunity to interact with PhD students in your lifetime.
In the 1970s and 1980s, doctoral students who graduated from prestigious universities were almost cross-class.
Although Yamazaki Hui is still a student and has not yet left school.
But in the eyes of the crowd, awe and respect coexisted, and they didn't even dare to feel envy.
The aura of a high-level intellectual was beyond Baichuan Feng's imagination. It was no wonder that the number of Bosch students at this time was completely incomparable to that of later generations.
Scarcity also means nobility and certain privileges.
Seeing this scene, Baichuan Feng was both happy and a little worried.
The good thing is that we don’t have to worry about whether Yamazaki Teru can convince the public. What worries us is what kind of conditions can impress such a talent.
