Chapter 229 Hot Sale (please subscribe)

After World War II, Japan and South Korea were both influenced by American culture, and Christmas was a very important holiday.

In Japan, Christmas is the biggest shopping street of the year. Stores will extend their business hours during Christmas. Many stores that are open until eight o'clock on weekdays will be open until ten o'clock, twelve o'clock, or even all night long.

In 1989, Japan was in its glorious moment before the economic bubble burst. The Japanese in this era had really strong spending power. They were buying at home and abroad.

Later generations of Japanese rulers worked hard to introduce various policies to encourage Japanese people to consume more, hoping to boost the economy.

But in 1989, there was no need to encourage consumption at all. People would go shopping consciously, and those housewives who controlled the family finances would buy a bunch of products that they could or could not use.

This is the golden age of Japanese department stores!

And Christmas is the golden moment in the golden age!

Merchants will launch various offers during the Christmas period, such as product discounts and lucky draws. Prizes such as a family trip to Okinawa are still very affordable for ordinary Japanese people.

This tradition of Christmas discounts has continued. There are many Christmas shopping guides on the Internet, all of which introduce the discounts in Japanese department stores during the Christmas period.

In 1989, Japan's retail industry did not need tourists. It could only thrive with the support of domestic consumers.

Mrs. Sato was walking in the home appliances exhibition area. She planned to take advantage of the Christmas discount to buy a new rice cooker.

The rice cooker was invented by Sony, and it quickly became the most commonly used household appliance in Japan. After all, Japan is a country where rice is the staple food, so this kind of household appliance that is convenient for cooking will definitely be a hot seller.

There are also a variety of rice cookers in Japan, with different brands, different functions, and different grades. Mrs. Sato was quickly spoiled for choice and didn't know which one to buy.

The shopping guide in the store stood next to Mrs. Sato with a smile on her face, patiently serving her and explaining the functions of various rice cookers.

From beginning to end, Mrs. Sato still didn’t choose the product she wanted. When she wanted to turn around and look at it again, a small pot came into Mrs. Sato’s sight.

"Is this also a rice cooker?" Mrs. Sato asked.

"This is a new product called an egg steamer. Is it specially used to cook eggs?" The shopping guide hurriedly picked up an egg steamer and showed it to Mrs. Sato.

"Just put water inside, then put the eggs on this shelf, press the button, and close the lid. When the time is up, the eggs will be cooked naturally. And you can choose different degrees of tenderness according to your taste.

.If you like soft-boiled eggs, you can select this button. If you want to eat more cooked eggs, press this button."

"In other words, this is as convenient as a rice cooker. You only need to press a button to eat boiled eggs?" Mrs. Sato asked thoughtfully.

Mrs. Sato makes lunch boxes for her husband and two children every day. Eggs are an indispensable ingredient, and boiling eggs every day is also a troublesome task.

More importantly, Mr. Tanaka likes to eat runny eggs, so when Mrs. Sato cooks eggs, she always has to keep an eye on the time to avoid overcooking the eggs.

If you only need to press a button to cook soft-boiled eggs, it would be too worry-free for Mrs. Sato. At least she doesn't have to stand by the stove and stare at it. She can do other things while boiling eggs.

matter.

Mrs. Sato raised her head and looked at the price. It was 5,400 yen, which was not expensive and was completely within the acceptable range.

"Madam, this product currently has a discount of 500 yen, which means that the original price is 5,400 yen, and you can buy it for only 4,900 yen." The shopping guide introduced it in a timely manner.

When she heard that it was only 4,900 yen, Mrs. Sato immediately nodded: "Okay, I want one!"

…

No Japanese housewife does not need to boil eggs. Many housewives prepare lunch boxes for their husbands or children. If there are no eggs in the lunch boxes, the husband and children will be embarrassed to take them out to eat in public.

However, Japanese people generally like soft-boiled eggs, and many Japanese even like to eat hard-boiled eggs with any type of egg white that has not completely solidified. Mixing half-cooked eggs with bento rice is a very popular way for Japanese people to eat them.

.

So boiling eggs has become a test for housewives in Japan. If a housewife cannot cook soft-boiled eggs, she will be regarded as an unqualified wife and mother.

The Chinese method of casually cooking it in a pot of boiling water will definitely not work in Japan. Many Japanese ramen restaurants use half-cooked soft-boiled eggs as their signature, and their requirements are stricter than Western steaks.

, even if it is a little more mature, it will be unqualified.

In this case, the egg steamer, a machine that can make soft-boiled eggs with one click, quickly became popular in Japan once it was launched.

As Li Weidong said, the main consumer force in Japan is housewives. Products that can provide convenience to housewives will not lack the market.

During the Christmas period, the egg steamers were quickly sold out, and Xizhi Electric had to urge Li Weidong to ship the next batch of egg steamers as soon as possible.

…

Located in the conference room of Nishiba headquarters in Tokyo, President Tanaka is listening to reports from his subordinates.

"President, our household appliances department has recently launched an egg steamer, and the market response has been very good." Minister Hase, who is in charge of household appliances, handed a data report to President Tanaka.

President Tanaka read the data report at a glance, and then said: "Since the market demand is so strong, let's expand production!"

"President, we adopt an OEM model for this egg steamer. We provide the core components, OEM and assemble them in China, and then ship them to the Japanese market for sale." Minister Hase reminded in a low voice.

"We didn't produce it ourselves?" President Tanaka was stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of realization: "I remember, this egg steamer was obtained by Mr. Takakura from Hong Kong Island, right?"

Minister Hase nodded: "Yes, when Mr. Takakura reported before, I also did research. Although we can produce this kind of egg steamer ourselves, it takes manpower and material resources to set up a production line, and China's

The OEM already has a complete production line, and the cost of production in China is indeed lower than in Japan, so the OEM production model was approved at that time."

"The company's current strategy is mainly to produce high value-added products. For products with relatively low profits, let's continue to use OEMs!" President Tanaka said.

"Okay, then I will place an OEM order for 300,000 units with the Chinese foundry." Minister Hase said.

"Wait a minute!" President Tanaka suddenly stopped Director Hase and continued: "This time, we will use our own design."

Minister Hase was stunned for a moment and asked: "President, do you mean that we design the egg steamer ourselves and then give it to the OEM to make it?"

President Tanaka nodded: "In terms of structure and appearance, let the design department come up with a new plan. It is better for us to do product design ourselves."

"I understand, we Japanese know better about Japan's market demand for products," Minister Hase said.

"Not only that." President Tanaka waved his hand and continued: "As an OEM company, we should do OEM work honestly and not do things that are too much for us. Things like product design and research and development are not

This is what the OEM companies should do. This is our job. If the OEM companies do our job, will we still have work to do?"

…

Shen Zheng and Shen Yuanchao, father and son, knocked on the door of Li Weidong's house with several bags of fruit.

"It's the second uncle, come in quickly." Li Weidong invited Shen Zheng and his son in, and asked casually: "Why don't you see the second brother?"

"Shengli left the car." Shen Zheng sighed, and then said: "Since he started running transportation, I haven't been able to see him for ten days and a half."

"This is a good thing. It means that the second brother has a lot of business and will definitely make money." Li Weidong said with a smile.

"I have made money. This transportation business is really profitable. He has now earned the money to buy a car. He has also roped in several young men from Shenfutun to run transportation with him." Shen Zheng said.

Several people entered the living room, and the guests and hosts took their seats. After a few more pleasantries, Shen Zheng expressed his intention of coming:

"Seeing that it's the end of the year, I have to give you this year's dividends from the chemical plant. The chemical plant's profits this year are pretty good. In addition to the harvest factory, the city blanket factory also has a Raschel blanket production line.

We buy goods from Shen Futun, so the net profit of the chemical factory this year has reached 500,000 yuan! You hold 50% of the shares and get a dividend of 250,000 yuan."

As Shen Zheng spoke, he gave Shen Yuanchao a look, and Shen Yuanchao immediately took out five large bundles of RMB from his bag and placed them on the table.

Li Weidong was stunned for a moment and said, "Second uncle, isn't this right? There are five bundles of money here, it should be half a million, right?"

Shen Zheng hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed and said: "Weidong, let me make it clear! Of these five hundred thousand miles, 250,000 are for your dividends, and the other 250,000 are for buying

The 50% shares in your hand!"

"Second uncle, do you want me to withdraw my shares?" Li Weidong asked with a smile.

"Weidong, I can't help you about this, but there's nothing I can do about it! I know that if it weren't for you, our Shenfutun Chemical Factory would still be producing laundry detergent! But our Shenfutun Chemical Factory is, after all, a village

Enterprises must be decided by the village collective."

Shen Zheng made a troubled expression, and the reporter said: "Many people in the village now feel that since it is a village collective enterprise, the money made should belong to all villagers and should not be distributed to others, so the people in the village

You want me to take back your 50% share."

Li Weidong nodded silently.

No matter whether Shen Zheng's embarrassed expression comes from his heart or not, it cannot be faked!
