Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

When the disputes in the neon video game industry were coming to an end, Shirakawa Electric took advantage of the trend and launched its second handheld.

A Pac-Man, an original game inspired by Arkanoid by Satoru Iwata.

However, Bai Chuanfeng didn't have time to pay attention to the specific sales situation, because at this time he had already boarded the flight to the other side of the ocean.

The first stop was still in Los Angeles. Julis, who had been waiting here for a long time just after getting off the plane, greeted him quickly.

"Boss, it's such a joy to meet you. See, Hans sees you like he's meeting his sweetheart."

Hasegawa, who was being cueed beside him, had a wonderful expression on his face.

Before he could say hello to Bai Chuanfeng, he was stuck in place.

"Okay Julius, don't say nasty things. But who is Hans? And his sweetheart?"

Bai Chuanfeng looked at the embarrassed Hasegawa with a strange expression, and he felt that he must have missed something interesting during his absence.

Hearing Bai Chuanfeng's question, Julis laughed out loud.

It turned out that the Hans in Julis's mouth was Hasegawa, because the Roman sound of his name was very close to "Hans".

So Julis gradually became familiar with him, and he simply called Hasegawa Hans.

Now colleagues in the US branch of Shirakawa Electric, everyone calls Shun Kou.

Hasegawa was honored to be given an English name by everyone, oh no, it is a German name to be precise.

As for sweetheart, the first supermarket where Shirakawa Walkman entered was located in the shopping center in San Fernando Valley.

And because of business contacts, Hasegawa often visits the Holy Land known as the "Hollywood of the adult industry".

And after going back and forth, I even met a former practitioner.

As for the two of them, one is a super sweetheart who has seen countless people, and the other is a soul that has been living overseas for a long time and is becoming increasingly empty.

Coupled with Hasegawa's generous spending, it is not surprising that anything happened.

As for racism? nonexistent.

Super sweetheart has never seen any race, let alone neon, which has a well-developed custom industry.

At this moment, the two are fighting fiercely, and their relationship continues to heat up.

Bai Chuanfeng looked at Hasegawa strangely. If he remembered correctly, this guy should already have a family in Neon.

After arriving in the United States, have you let yourself go? It's pretty fun to play.

"Okay, Hans. I will talk about the sales in the United States in detail later, oh yes, and your sweetheart."

"President..." Hasegawa looked at Bai Chuanfeng with an aggrieved face, how could his own president be so out of tune.

"Haha" Julis laughed without any scruples, and even the other colleagues who came with him from the neon land also suppressed their smiles.

After teasing Hasegawa, Shirakawa Feng and the others turned to Melrose Avenue non-stop. He was eager to know how the Walkman performed in the US market.

Shirakawa Electric's US branch, as a model worker, Bai Chuanfeng, as usual, first held a plenary meeting with everyone.

"Except for Marshall's, what's going on with the other retailers?"

Bai Chuanfeng looked at the information while asking about the expansion of the channels here.

"In addition to California, Marshall's Department Store has also fully distributed goods in Washington State, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, etc.

In addition, Best Buy and Target have also signed purchase agreements with us, and the purchase price is basically the same as that of Marshall's.

We are negotiating with Wal-Mart, and we expect to have results this month at the earliest. "

As the sales director of the US market, Julis is also well aware of the distribution of Walkmans.

Marshall was the first place where the cooperation agreement was signed, and the order of distribution basically followed the trend of spreading from the west coast to the east coast.

At present, Shirakawa Electric's Walkman has covered more than half of North America, of course, it is only in the major cities of each state.

The lower level of the market has not yet sunk, but these are not in a hurry for the time being.

Looking at the various data in his hand, Bai Chuanfeng pondered, "Ulis, choose a location to build a warehouse on the east coast as soon as possible.

Our products can be propelled on the east and west coasts at the same time, so the ocean-going freighters from Neon’s homeland can berth directly nearby.

Instead of unloading from the West Coast and transporting it inland to the East Coast.

This can save a lot of shipping costs. You must know that the expenses of waterway transportation and inland transportation are completely different things. "

"Understood, Boss, I should have thought of it earlier." Julius shrugged apologetically.

"It's not your responsibility, Julius." Bai Chuanfeng comforted him. It seems that the United States still needs to find a professional manager as soon as possible.

Uris' strength lies in sales, and he is currently acting as the general manager.

After reading the distribution of goods in the market, Bai Chuanfeng turned his attention to the specific sales data.

"Are all 70,000 orders from Marshall's?"

"Yes, Boss, but this is only the first batch of orders. Just yesterday, the other party has added a second batch of orders, 110,000 units.

Believe me, Boss, when the channels in North America are fully opened, the additional orders from department store retailers must be beyond your imagination. "

Julius has no doubts about this.

At present, Shirakawa Electric only puts the upgraded version of the first-generation Walkman on the market. As for the new-generation Walkman, the ocean-going freighter has just arrived at the port and has not had time to unload.

If this part of the market potential is also calculated, and more and more supermarkets join in.

Uris believes that at that time, what Boss needs to consider is the issue of production capacity.

"Good job, Yuris. For the market forecast for the next six months, prepare a detailed document as soon as possible.

Local companies will adjust production capacity in a timely manner based on rough expectations. "

There are 180,000 units in just over a month, which is indeed the United States with a huge market.

On average, this data is almost the same as the monthly sales of Neon China.

As far as this is still an order from the Marshall family, the market has not yet fully opened.

By analogy, just imagining the complete market in the future, Bai Chuanfeng felt a little short of breath.

Sure enough, it is still exciting to earn dollars. The exchange rate difference of about 250 times makes him feel nothing when looking at the yen now.

"How's the sales situation at Sony?" After reading his own data, Bai Chuanfeng began to care about his old rival again.

Uris immediately answered, "It's about 160% of ours, and they dominate the east coast market."

Because Sony is a listed company in Mi, a lot of data can be found from relevant channels.

As the only opponent in the current market, Uris is also very concerned about its every move.

As expected of a multinational company that has been in business for decades, the timing of the two companies developing the US market is less than two months apart, almost simultaneously.

Even Baichuan Electric's Walkman is much cheaper.

However, it still cannot compete with Sony in the market. This is the background of a multinational group.

But when Shirakawa Electric's new generation Walkman enters the market, I dare not say that it will overtake it.

But Bai Chuanfeng is still confident in narrowing the gap by half.

"The development of the Walkman can be carried out according to the original plan, Hasegawa-san... Oh no, Hans, tell me about the progress of the distributor."

Hearing Bai Chuanfeng's address, knowing laughter resounded in the meeting room.

Hasegawa glanced at Bai Chuanfeng resentfully, and then got up honestly to report the progress of the channel dealer.

Unlike chain stores, most of the local distributors introduced by the Electronics Industry Promotion Association focus on individual retailers.

They have their own sales network in small and medium-sized cities, and this is the area that chain stores have not yet touched.

Although the market size cannot be compared at all, the two have formed a perfect complementarity.

If Baichuan Electric wants to expand its influence, this part of the market cannot be given up.

The meeting lasted for more than an hour, and Bai Chuanfeng finally sorted out the affairs here in the United States.

"From next month, there will be a financial team from the Neon Headquarters to assist in the construction of the branch's structure."

"Hay (Understood)!" Hasegawa and Uris nodded in agreement with serious faces.

At present, the US branch and the Neon headquarters are independent of each other, and the finances are also calculated separately.

But this is not a long-term solution, especially for finances, Bai Chuanfeng must replace himself to be at ease.

Of course, financial personnel will continue to be recruited here in the United States. In the future, the two will integrate and restrict each other.

"Oh, by the way, Uris gave you a gift." Bai Chuanfeng almost forgot the business.

"Oh my God, Boss, you finally remembered my hard work this month?" Yuris rubbed his hands excitedly when he heard that it was a gift.

The legendary samurai sword? Or a mysterious ninjutsu prop?

Just as Uris was daydreaming, Bai Chuanfeng took out a palm-sized calculator.

This is…? Uris was full of question marks.

"Try it." Bai Chuanfeng signaled him to turn on the machine and try it out.

Uris took the weird-looking calculator and pressed the power button.

"Huh?" The logo that appeared on the screen made him raise his brows, and the game that was loaded immediately attracted his attention.

Unknowingly getting involved, he didn't realize it until the end of the game, "Is this a game console?"

"That's right." Bai Chuanfeng nodded, "How about Uris, can it do it?"

Uris now finally understood what the gift his boss was talking about was.

"It's a very interesting gadget, so this is another of our products?" Uris shrugged, "Unfortunately, I really thought it was some kind of special gift."

There was a burst of laughter in the meeting room, and Bai Chuanfeng also comforted him with a smile, "Don't worry, I will definitely prepare a special gift for you next time."

"So..." Uris raised the handheld in his hand and asked tentatively, "Do we need to promote this?"

Bai Chuanfeng nodded, "Same as last time, talk to Marshall first.

Its price is around $30, and the ex-works price is $25. We have about 10% bargaining power.

The market for this kind of electronic toy should have great potential, and I will leave this part of the work to you, Uris. "

"Got it, Boss, please leave it to me." There was already a ready-made channel, and Uris readily accepted the task.

"Then let's stop here for today's meeting. Tomorrow I will visit another important guest."

Bai Chuanfeng, who finally felt a little tired, also officially announced the end of the meeting at this moment.

Tomorrow's affairs are very important, and we need to recharge our batteries in advance.
