Chapter 99: Field of Hope
Since Flashman's various problems were solved one by one, the construction of its production lines and workshops has entered the fast lane.
The first thing to do was to renovate the warehouse next door. After the funds were in place, the construction team entered the site as soon as possible.
The main structure was basically completed in less than a month.
According to the plan, the existing Shirakawa Electric will be connected to the expanded area next door.
The total area of the factory workshop is approximately three thousand to four thousand square meters, enough to accommodate three complete production lines.
The remaining area is mostly used as warehouses and office spaces. Once it is fully built, it will be enough for Shirakawa Electric to develop in the next few years.
What Asuka Kobayashi is seeing now is the part where the warehouse renovation has been completed.
Since there is no need to start construction from scratch, this is also the workshop building where the mission target can be completed the fastest.
It will also be the location of Flashman's first production line, and equipment has already been arriving there.
Yasuda and Yamazaki Teru are busy coordinating the installation and debugging of equipment.
As R&D and technical personnel, they need to personally check all of these.
As for Kazuo Yamaguchi, he was busy training new employees because the space was limited and many places were being renovated.
He simply took the new employees to the open space outside and gave them oral and written training first.
After the renovation of the original Shirakawa Electric Factory was completed, they were arranged to conduct practical exercises in an intensive manner.
Fortunately, at that time, the educational quality of Japanese workers was generally high, and high school education was universalized in the early 1970s, so the employees were able to get started very quickly.
This is also the reason why Japanese industry has gradually expanded overseas since the 1960s.
The high-quality population dividend has also played a significant fundamental role.
Because the planned production line is a semi-automatic and semi-manual assembly line, the skills do not need to be very proficient, just skilled.
"President Shirakawa, this is the acceptance form for the latest batch of equipment. Please have a look." Oda from the purchasing department hurried over with a stack of documents.
Shirakawa Feng took it and looked at it casually. After seeing the signatures of Yasuda and Yamazaki Teru, he quickly signed his name as well.
There was no need for him to review each and every one of these things himself; he believed in the professionalism of Yasuda and the others.
When it comes to equipment procurement, Shirakawa Electric has already spent more than 20 million yen.
Adding the venue construction, staff recruitment, etc., all added up might have exceeded 30 million yen.
If we had relied on previous capital reserves, we would have been in financial difficulties long ago, and there might even be a risk of a capital chain break.
But just last month, the second batch of royalties for the song "Dragonfly" that he sold had arrived.
It was not as much as the first 30 million, but it was half of the amount. This amount of royalties made a lot of money for Shirakawa Electric.
Now that Shirakawa Electric has no other investors, Shirakawa Feng can only use the money earned from the entertainment industry to invest in real industry to support its development.
Although he cannot see the return for the time being, he is very confident about the future gains.
In addition, the sales volume of Obsidian record players in the latest month has steadily increased to around 500 units.
The turnover of more than 40 million also brought in more than 30 million in book funds.
Although less than half of it can be used, it is enough for Shirakawa Electric.
Looking at the lively scene in front of him, Baichuan Feng felt that the tiredness was worth it.
These are all his own property, belonging to him alone. Looking at them, Baichuan Feng feels at ease.
This is visible and tangible. Compared with the illusory financial industry, the real industry is more attractive .
Shirakawa Kaede took Kobayashi Asuka to look around Shirakawa Electric, just like an old farmer checking his crops in the fields, full of anticipation.
"Shirakawa-kun, Shirakawa Electric has changed a lot now."
If Shirakawa Electric was like a family workshop before, it now has the prototype of a modern factory.
"We have to keep developing. If we keep standing still, it's not a good sign."
Shirakawa Feng saw Kotaro driving a forklift in the distance and waved at him with a smile .
As for Kotaro, he looked at Shirakawa Kaede and Kobayashi Asuka beside him with an ambiguous expression.
Kotaro and Asuka Kobayashi also knew him, but the look in his eyes at this moment was indescribably obscene.
Baichuan Feng waved his hand at him in disdain, telling him to get out of here. This guy usually takes a Turkish bath.
Kobayashi Asuka didn't pay attention to this. She listened to what Shirakawa Kaede said and nodded. "That's right, it's just like what dad said at the beginning."
"Hey, what dad?" Baichuan Feng turned around curiously.
"Yeah" Asuka Kobayashi immediately shook her head and looked away.
Shirakawa Feng shook his head. He thought Asuka Kobayashi was calling him dad. Ahem...
"By the way, Xiaolin, I'd like to ask you a question. What does your family do? Why do I always feel like it's something special?"
Baichuan Feng had never deliberately inquired about her family background, but just from her daily life, Baichuan Feng felt that she was not like an ordinary child.
"It's nothing big," Kobayashi Asuka muttered as she looked at the busy construction site in front of her. "It's just a small business."
A small business worth billions?
Baichuan Feng looked a little doubtful, but when he saw that Asuka Kobayashi didn't want to say more, he didn't ask any more questions.
"What about Shirakawa-kun? I only know that Shirakawa-kun is from Akita, so I'm curious about where Shirakawa-kun lives."
"Me?" Baichuan Feng smiled. "Once you've been there, you won't be curious anymore. It's completely different from Fukuoka."
One is in the south and the other is in the north. Whether it is geographical location, climate, or cultural customs, they are very different.
"As for what my family does?" Baichuan Feng turned around and looked at her with amusement, "Besides rice, what else can Akita do? Of course we are farmers."
"Eh" This answer was somewhat beyond Asuka Kobayashi's expectations.
She thought that since they could raise a Meiji University student like Shirakawa Kaede, they must be from a scholarly family.
It's not that she is prejudiced against farmers, but it is really difficult to become a college student in the countryside of Japan at that time.
Resources, knowledge, and geographical location all limit its ceiling.
Even if you come from a wealthy family, you may not be able to get into a top private university like Meiji, let alone one from a remote rural area.
Baichuan Feng smiled but said nothing. To be honest, he sometimes couldn't figure out the situation in their family.
Everything seemed normal, but the occasional words that came out of the parents' room seemed out of place in a place like Xiaolu.
But his parents didn't say anything, and he didn't ask.
All he can do is work hard to make himself stronger, and then let them spend the rest of their lives without worries.
You have done everything you can in the first half of your life, please leave the second half to me.
This is true whether in the past life or this life.
