Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

Yamaguchi Momoe's sensational wedding of the century has never been mentioned again. Most of the wedding banquets are people from the entertainment industry, and Bai Chuanfeng has no intention of dealing with them.

After finishing the meal, he greeted Norio Oga and left the restaurant.

Feixue, who had glimpsed out of the window before, no longer concealed herself.

Instead, it floats under the street lamp like cotton wool, and then penetrates into the earth.

In the next few days, the heavy snow continued for about a week.

In Tokyo this year, the snow came earlier. How about Akita in my hometown in the Northeast?

Tokyo is like this, presumably there is more snow there.

Can the crops in the fields survive this catastrophe, and can the wooden houses in the village withstand the backlog of heavy snow?

"Tiger Taro" Bai Chuanfeng looked away from the window.

"What's the matter, Xiaofeng?" Kotaro, who was carefully checking the warehouse list in the room, raised his head and asked suspiciously.

"It's snowing outside." Bai Chuanfeng gestured to the window.

"Hey" Kotaro put down his work and raised his head, "Xiaofeng, it's been almost a week."

Tiger Taro didn't understand what Bai Chuanfeng meant, didn't he get off a few days ago.

Besides, what's so strange about the snow, there is so much snow in my hometown that I can't count it.

"The snow in Tokyo comes too early, according to the usual pattern, it usually comes after December.

But now it is November, so the snow in my hometown must come earlier. "

The snow season in Akita generally starts in late November and ends in February and March of the next year.

But judging from the current situation, it is likely that it will start snowing in early November or even October in my hometown.

"Hey" Kotaro, who was belatedly in the office, pushed away the chair and quickly ran to the window sill to look outside.

"Xiaofeng, with such heavy snow, the rice in my hometown will suffer!" Kotaro retracted his head and looked anxiously at Bai Chuanfeng.

Because of the climate, Akita grows late-maturing rice, which is usually harvested in mid-to-late October.

But winter came too early, and it is very likely that the crops in the field were buried under the heavy snow before they could be harvested.

"Korataro, don't worry, I'll call back to my hometown first to ask. At the end of this year, let's go back to Akita earlier."

It's been almost two years since I went back. The affairs of Baichuan Electric this year should not be like last year's, day and night without people.

As for their hometown in the Northeast, Bai Chuanfeng and Tiger Taro's family is fine, and they don't make a living from farming.

But the uncles and uncles in the same village are hard to say.

I hope the situation is not too bad, Bai Chuanfeng sighed.

At first I thought it was auspicious snow heralding a good year, but the heavy snow came too early and went too late, so it was not Ruixue.

Putting aside his worries about his hometown, Bai Chuanfeng devoted his energy to Bai Chuan Electric.

As the year approached, the affairs of the club did not decrease at all, and even many things were concentrated together.

At the end of November, Baichuan Electric and First Quanyin formally signed a loan contract.

First Quanyin loaned 6 billion yen to Shirakawa Electric for the real estate purchase and construction of the headquarters.

This sum of money will not be transferred directly to the account of Baichuan Electric, but a new account will be established separately, which will be jointly supervised by First Quanyin, Baichuan Electric, and Shimizu Construction.

It is specially used for the development and construction of the headquarters, which is equivalent to special funds for special use.

In addition, according to the project budget, as the follow-up progress is carried out, Shirakawa Electric will provide an additional 2 billion yen to fill the budget gap.

So far, the planning of Shirakawa Electric's headquarters has come to an end.

The land area is 3,200 square meters, and the total land price is 4.5 billion yen. The headquarters building is expected to have more than 20 floors, and the cost is about 3.5 billion.

In charge of the design of the building is the famous architect Kenzo Tange, who designed the Yoyogi Arena for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.

When Bai Chuanfeng visited each other, Tange Kenzo asked him about the design requirements of the future headquarters building.

Regarding this point, Bai Chuanfeng's request was very simple. One of the landmarks of modern, striking, futuristic Shibuya, nothing more.

What electronic technology companies need to show the world is nothing more than the concept of innovation, technology, and modernization.

Therefore, there is no need for other bells and whistles, after all, Baichuan Electric is not engaged in art.

The construction period of the headquarters building is estimated to be about one and a half years, including the final decoration, it can be completed in about two years.

The construction period of two to three years for this kind of large project is very normal. After all, the design of the earthquake-proof structure requires a lot of thought.

Although this business was first persuaded to pay the bulk of the money, the money basically flowed back in the end.

The land is the first to persuade the bank, and 4.5 billion of the 6 billion loan is equivalent to a lot of money in his own hands.

The construction company Shimizu Construction is an affiliated company within the consortium, and the remaining 1.5 billion out of the 6 billion is prepared for it.

Not only that, Shirakawa Electric will pay another 2 billion to make up for the gap.

Then, the so-called loan of 6 billion by the First Bank of China was finally repaid by Shirakawa Electric within 10 years, with an annual interest rate of 2.7%.

So all in all, the cash that the bank really paid out was only 1.5 billion, accounting for a quarter of the loan amount.

The land, building materials, and labor were exchanged for Baichuan Electric's 8 billion cash plus interest.

Based on the current market price of this business, is the bank losing money? of course not.

So is Baichuan Electric losing money? Estimated based on the land price a few years later, not only did not lose money, but also made a lot of money.

What's this? It's a win-win.

Daiichi Kogyo Bank, represented by Ichiro Watanabe, happily signed the contract.

Earned interest and engineering fees, and also obtained the promise of the listed trader of Baichuan Electric.

If there is no accident, the future shares of Baichuan Electric Appliances will inevitably have the share of the first persuader.

Bai Chuanfeng also cheerfully signed the contract. Although this piece of land is just needed, it also saves money for future price increases.

Besides, such a low annual interest rate is itself a kind of welfare. There are also certain discounts on construction costs, which are real benefits.

At the same time, with the start of a good cooperation with the First Quanyin, presumably other chaebols will not come to harass Baichuan Electric again.

A talisman is worth it. As for the shares after listing, they are all publicly traded, so who cares who holds the shares?

Besides, even if you don't ask the first bank to trade, you will always ask other financial institutions for help. That being the case, why not choose an acquaintance.

Therefore, both parties signed the contract in a friendly and smiling manner with the intention of making a lot of money.

So far, the two pieces of land that Baichuan Electric urgently needs to solve have all been settled.

The relaxed Bai Chuanfeng also participated in the second major event of the club at the beginning of December, the SIC building was officially completed!

Shibuya, Daikanyama.

Bai Chuanfeng looked at the majestic glass-curtain building in front of him, and he couldn't help feeling a sense of pride in his heart.

Looking at the brand-new and magnificent building in front of him, he was as excited as when the first factory building of Baichuan Electric was completed.

Construction started in the third and fourth months of the new year, and it took eight or nine months. The research institute that Bai Chuanfeng placed high hopes on was finally put into use.

In addition, this is also the first substantive real estate under the name of Bai Chuan Holdings. Bai Chuanfeng is so at ease in his heart.

Sure enough, there are land and buildings, so I don't panic.

From the outside, the building is not too tall, with twelve floors on the ground and two floors underground. In the upper right corner of the roof, the three white letters of "SIC" are very eye-catching.

Although there are only twelve floors, the nearby buildings are not too tall. The SIC building is still very conspicuous in this area.

And don't look at the area of ​​only 800 square meters, but after the building is completed, it will give people a much larger visual sense.

You should know that Sony's exhibition building in Ginza covers an area of ​​only 707 square meters, but it is built higher than SIC.

In a bunch of high-rise buildings, it is still very eye-catching.

Therefore, don't underestimate the 800 square meters, the visual experience is far more intuitive than the cold numbers.

Counting the two basement floors, there are a total of fourteen floors, with a construction area of ​​more than 10,000 square meters, which is enough for the research institute.

"Shimasan, how are you? SIC didn't disappoint you, right?" Bai Chuanfeng turned his head and greeted Shimasato who had been looking at the building with his head up.

"Unexpectedly spectacular." Shimasato came back to his senses with a contented smile on his face.

Not long after he came back from the United States, the SIC headquarters was officially opened today. As its top general, of course he couldn't be absent.

"Honestly looks more posh than most companies out there in Silicon Valley."

Shimasatoshi and Shirakawa Kaede chatted while walking, Masaki Matsumura and Akira Yamazaki were beside them, and the group walked towards the building together.

"It's such a luxurious configuration that Shima-san is needed to host."

Masaki Matsumura beside him couldn't help but joked.

"With Matsumura-san around, I don't dare to be." Shimasa Tori waved his hands again and again, considering Matsumura as his senior in terms of age.

"The two seniors stop arguing." Bai Chuanfeng interrupted them with a smile, "Matsumura-san and Shima-san are the crouching dragon and phoenix chicks of SIC, and the combination of the two will be extremely powerful."

"Haha" Masaki Matsumura and Masatoshi Shima laughed loudly. Of course they had heard the story of the Three Kingdoms.

"Seniors, please!" At the entrance of the SIC hall, Bai Chuanfeng stretched out his hand to signal for them to invite first.

"Okay" The two did not delay, and entered the newly completed building hand in hand.

All the renovations here have been completed, including office facilities.

The biggest thing on the first floor is naturally the spacious and bright front desk, connected to it is the product exhibition area of ​​the future enterprise.

However, this part is temporarily blank, and now a few sofas and coffee tables are placed as a resting reception area.

The remaining part was opened up into several conference rooms, and the planning was neat and tidy.

The second to sixth floors are the research area, where various instruments and equipment have been installed and debugged.

Most of them are domestic top brands, or foreign cutting-edge equipment.

Shimasatoshi and Matsumura Masaki have stayed here the longest. After all, this is something they will develop in the future, so how can they do it without taking advantage of it.

But after seeing it, their expressions became more and more satisfied, and they even started to feel itchy.

This condition is so good, it is much better than the laboratory of Dongdong University of Technology, and it is not worse than Silicon Valley abroad.

I have to say that the perfect hardware configuration is also a great temptation for technicians.

Leaving aside other technical equipment, the current chip design does not have professional software assistance.

Most of the time, it is still rubbed by hand, so hardware assistance is also indispensable.

In addition to here, there are actually laboratories on the two basement floors.

There is an experimental area specially designed for anti-signal interference, sunk six or seven meters underground.

Thick copper sheets are pasted on the walls and ground to shield signals and reduce interference from external signals.

The thick screen door weighed a thousand kilograms, and the few floors for research, plus the underground laboratory, cost Bai Chuanfeng hundreds of millions of yen.

Shimasatoshi and the others are not satisfied with the laboratory that was built with money?

After viewing the R\u0026D floor, the group continued to go up.

Starting from the seventh floor is the office area.

The decoration here is also completed, and various configurations such as desks and chairs, computers, telephones, fax machines, and printers are in place.

In addition to these, there are sofa areas for relaxation, light-colored wooden seats, clean white walls, and open glass curtain walls.

The winter sun shines in, inexplicably giving people a sense of warmth.

"That's good." Shimasa Toshi nodded in satisfaction.

A comfortable environment will also make you feel relaxed while working.

"Then, Bai Chuan-san, let's find a place to talk about the development progress of the chip."

After seeing the place where he will work in the future, Shimasa Toshi, who is satisfied, is also unambiguous, and goes straight to the topic of work.

"Okay." Bai Chuanfeng nodded, and led them upstairs.
