Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

In the "Kanagawa Plan" in 1978, the planning requirements for the transformation from heavy industry to precision research and development were clearly put forward.

And the maker of this plan is the governor of Changzhou in front of him.

The "mind-centered concept" he proposed is to transform Kanagawa from an economic model that relied on resources in the past to a knowledge-intensive industrial cluster in the future.

In the 1950s and 1960s, because of its close proximity to Kawasaki Port, a large number of heavy industry companies such as steel processing and chemical companies gathered here.

However, with the development of the economy and the implementation of the Tokyo Metropolitan Capital Circle Plan.

These heavy industries have been gradually relocated, and Kanagawa has also given full play to the advantages of being close to the center of Tokyo.

Through the form of industrial parks, it will vigorously attract precision light industry and service industry, and quickly realize industrial upgrading.

The original heavy industry was gradually replaced or moved to more peripheral less developed areas.

Today's electronic processing industry such as Shirakawa Electric can be said to be very in line with the industrial transformation requirements advocated by the "Kanagawa Plan".

The field of electronic processing naturally belongs to the field of precision manufacturing at the technical level.

The landing of such an enterprise will attract a large number of relevant talents.

Even Baichuan Electric said that in the future, it will set up a special research institution locally to complement the development of the enterprise.

This is why the governor of Changzhou and the mayor of Kawasaki were dispatched together today.

The implementation of large-scale supporting facilities is a long-term plan to take root.

"Shirakawa-san, this industrial park is close to the Tama River, so it is very convenient to use water and electricity.

To the south is the core port of Keihin Industrial Belt, Kawasaki Port. Whether it is material input or product output, it is very convenient. "

Changzhou One Two took Bai Chuanfeng and the others on the open land, turning from south to north.

Introduce them in detail from every aspect, the various conditions of this land.

Bai Chuanfeng stood on this piece of land and looked around. In the distance, there were bustling high-rise buildings and industrial parks that were also factories.

However, it is a bit blurry when you are far away. It is really a big piece of land.

"Governor of Changzhou, how big is this land?"

"More than 2,000 acres" Changzhou gave the answer without even thinking about it.

Obviously, he knows all these parameters by heart, and he has done enough homework before coming.

An acre of neon is different from an acre in China, and the difference between the two is about six or seven times.

In conversion, it is about 300 mu in China, which is close to 200,000 square meters.

What is the concept of 300 acres? Calculated according to the area of ​​an international football field (105 meters long and 68 meters wide), it is about the size of 28 football fields.

Sure enough, it is a huge piece of land. This area is already about 50 times the size of Shirakawa Electric's factory in Ota District.

More than enough, even Baichuan Electric's new factory will never need such a large space.

After all, in addition to the production of products such as walkmans and earphones, this year will add at most a game console.

Even so, such a large piece of land is not needed, and this still includes future expansion plans.

But Bai Chuanfeng was still very moved by this, without it, only cheap ears.

As if knowing that Bai Chuanfeng was hesitating, Changzhou Yier immediately made an offer that no one could refuse.

"If Baichuan Electric decides to settle in this industrial land, the price can be reduced to 16,000 per square meter.

In addition, if Baichuan Electric takes all the land and guarantees that the total investment in the next five years will not be less than 6 billion yen.

Then the land price will be halved again, and in order to ease the financial pressure of Baichuan Electric.

The Kanagawa government can take the lead in providing an interest-free loan of 500 million yen to Shirakawa Electric under the leadership of local banks. "

Bai Chuanfeng took a deep breath, this frankly smells too good.

Although industrial land is relatively cheap, it is generally only about 10% of the price of residential land.

But as long as Shirakawa Electric's investment scale reaches 6 billion yen in the next few years, the price will be halved.

What's the meaning? It means half sale half free!

Bai Chuanfeng roughly calculated that the purchase of land was about 3 billion yen, and if it was cut in half, it would be 1.5 billion.

There is also an interest-free loan of 500 million yen from the bank, which means that as long as Shirakawa Electric takes out 1 billion yen, it can take this 300-mu, 200,000-square-meter land.

"Okay!" Bai Chuanfeng, who couldn't help swallowing, agreed to the condition without hesitation.

He knew that after a few years with such a favorable price, he would never encounter it again.

Hearing that Bai Chuanfeng agreed so happily, both Changzhou Izuru and Ito Saburo couldn't help but smile.

Do they care about the land? No, what they care about is the large-scale investment of Baichuan Electric in the next few years.

What I care about is how many workers can solve the employment problem of such a large-scale factory.

What I care about is whether the political capital I can increase in the next election can go further.

As for the land, it is meaningless to them personally. After all, it belongs to the public, and it will only be used by the next successor in a few years.

So Changzhou One Two and the others felt that this deal was extremely cost-effective.

Moreover, the conditions they offered were not out of line, and everything was in line with the process.

Now that both parties have reached a preliminary opinion, the remaining matters will naturally be taken over by their respective teams.

At the kind invitation of the two public officials, Bai Chuanfeng also had lunch together.

According to Changzhou Yier's intention, on the day the contract is formally signed, the two parties need to hold a press conference to announce this investment.

This is to increase their political capital, and for Baichuan Electric, it is also a time to increase the favorability of the local people, so there is nothing wrong with it.

It's not just about signing the contract. Bai Chuanfeng estimates that this process will have to be repeated on the day when Bai Chuan Electric is completed.

In this regard, he has no repulsion.

When the scale of an enterprise expands to a certain level, its influence will gradually radiate to the region.

Professor Yamada had already taught him this lesson at the beginning of the year.

I just didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

Finally, the selection of the new factory site of Baichuan Electric was finalized, and Baichuan Feng felt a little more at ease.

No wonder since ancient times, the gentry and aristocrats have valued land more than life.

After having this thing, not to mention the bottom of my heart is indeed more confident.

Moreover, 1 billion yen is really nothing to the current Shirakawa Electric, and the net profit of more than one month can be paid back.

So there is absolutely no financial pressure or anything.

Even the money on the account was not spent, and Bai Chuanfeng was a little uneasy.

Now that the new factory site has been selected, is it possible to consider the future headquarters of Shirakawa Electric?

However, the headquarters is different from the factory, and the land price difference between the two is hundreds of times.

After all, it is a commercial land, and it can't be too small. It must be in the bustling twenty-three districts of Tokyo.

Because it is the facade of Shirakawa Electric, so it must be eye-catching and generous.

When it's time to pay attention, you have to be stunned, how to show off your wealth.

But there is no need to rush for a while, there are other things that need to be resolved before that.

…

At the end of May, Bai Chuanfeng was sitting in the office, studying the two machines on the table.

A yellow one with a transparent treatment in the middle of the shell, so you can see the tape rotating inside while working.

A champagne gold, all-metal body, a triangular area in the upper right corner is engraved with the logo of Shirakawa Electric in the form of silver characters on a black background.

These are the prototypes of two models of Shirakawa Electric's next-generation Walkman, one low-end and one high-end.

The low-end model is the yellow machine on the left. Its biggest feature is its small size.

Bai Chuanfeng took a tape and put it aside, the body was almost the same size as the tape.

It is only a big circle, and this machine can be held in the palm of one hand.

Such a pocket-sized model can definitely be called the smallest Walkman in the world.

This Walkman is named FM-01, FM is the abbreviation of flashman.

Its main feature is a cheap, cheap plastic body, and a cheap motor.

Even the internal movement has been replaced with a plastic structure.

And its price has dropped to an unprecedented 18,800 yen, breaking the lowest price of Walkmans on the market in one fell swoop.

Bai Chuanfeng believes that once this product is released, it will definitely bring surprises to friends and merchants.

With such a low price, don't ask too much in terms of sound quality, just listen to it.

But after tuning, it is slightly improved compared to the first generation, but that's all.

But it itself is aimed at the youth market, that is, the student group.

In order to cater to their taste, even the color matching is yellow, orange, red and other bright and sporty colors.

Bai Chuanfeng's intention is obvious, that is to seize the low-end market, and is also preparing for the blooming of a hundred flowers next year.

He believes that such a price is absolutely very competitive, even so low that those big manufacturers are unwilling to make it.

Satisfied with putting down the low-end FM-01, Bai Chuanfeng picked up the champagne gold on the right.

Opposite to the opposite end, it is the next-generation high-end model of Walkman, SFM-01.

All-metal body, electroplating and coloring, with the black and silver logo on the upper right corner, it is almost like Graman.

Just the texture at first glance is enough to beat the yellow FM-01 on the left, and it is also much smaller.

There is a heavy sense of reliability in the hand. Not only the body is made of metal, but the internal movement structure is also made of metal parts.

The motor has also been replaced with the latest brushless motor put into commercial use, so the effect of stacking materials regardless of cost is that the bottom noise is almost inaudible.

Not only that, after being tuned by the audio engineer headed by Oki, it performed particularly well in terms of stereo sound, and the sense of sound presence was greatly increased.

In addition, this Walkman has also added radio and recording functions.

You must know that at this moment, Sony's walkman does not have such a function.

Overall performance, high tuning sensitivity, extremely low noise floor, high stereo separation, wide sound field.

There is no doubt that it is definitely the king of Walkmans now, and its competitor Sony is far behind it.

And its color scheme is relatively restrained and mature, basically silver, champagne gold, dark blue and other colors that adults like.

Another major feature in the design is the original modular buttons on the side.

Now all of them have been changed to button-type buttons arranged on the surface of the fuselage, which are small, round and space-saving.

Its price is set at 42,000 yen, which basically bid farewell to the favor of the student group.

However, this high-end model is originally aimed at white-collar office workers in the office.

The consumption ability is different, and the choices are also different.

After seeing the next-generation products of Baichuan Electric, Baichuanfeng is more confident about this trip to the United States.

Yes, he is about to fly to the other side of the ocean to explore the US market.

Hasegawa has been busy there for more than a month, and the shelf is basically set up.

However, for some things, Bai Chuanfeng, the president of the company, Sang, needs to do it himself.
