Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

Although 1984 passed by in a hurry, it was also an extraordinary year for Bai Chuanfeng.

This year, the net profit of Shirakawa Holdings exceeded 3 billion US dollars for the first time, and the proportion of various patent and licensing fee revenues in the total profit began to increase significantly.

SIC chip licensing, CD-ROM patent fees, optical drive patent fees, chewing gum battery patent fees, some patent fees in the LCD field, and patent fees in the earphone audio field.

There are more than 1,000 of these patents in total, and they have directly contributed more than US$800 million in licensing profits to Shirakawa Holdings.

From the beginning of relying on manufacturing profits, patent fees accounted for nearly one-third of total profits this year.

This process is also the dividend brought by Shirakawa Holdings upgrading its industrial organization, starting to participate in standard formulation, and entering higher-level competition in the technical field.

First-class companies sell buildings..., ah, first-class companies sell standards.

This year, both Shirakawa Electric and SIC have basically realized the upgrade and transition of this process.

As long as they continue to invest in research and development in the future, even if they encounter product competition problems in the future, they can live happily without worrying about business crises.

In addition to these two pillars, LCD, optical disc factories, and battery factories in the physical manufacturing industry have all achieved considerable development compared with last year.

The first two even reached the top of the neon, at the forefront of the first echelon.

They are all valuable assets of Bai Chuanfeng Holdings. Although they have not yet been widely used, they can be expected in the future.

Especially for LCD, Bai Chuanfeng has decided to set up a special subsidiary company under Bai Chuan Holdings to manage a series of operational issues of the LCD factory.

It is self-evident that the display panel will have a bright future in the future market, and its variant LED, OLED, etc. have broad prospects, and SIC is already making a forward-looking layout.

As for the media industry, after a year of restructuring. Daily News turned losses into profits. Although the profits were not much, at least they could take care of themselves.

As the mouthpiece in his own hands, even though his ability to make money is far worse than that of the manufacturing industry, the power of public opinion is worth Bai Chuanfeng's money to support it.

How about others such as Gothe and Daying? Mosquito legs can also be considered meat.

In the field of media and entertainment, the real big money maker has to look at HAL, the profit it brings to Shirakawa Holdings is second only to Shirakawa Electric.

The fat classmate Satoshi Iwata has also been officially promoted to the post of president of HAL from the deputy to the full-time.

Facts have proved that Iwata is not only skilled in technology, but also has excellent forward-looking and management capabilities in the game software industry.

I believe that in the next few years, with the growth of experience and experience, he will become more mature.

In 1984, not only these clubs grew, Beidu Bank has now become a veritable medium and large bank.

Its various financial businesses are complete, and its branches are spread all over the north and south of Neon.

Following in the footsteps of Shirakawa Holdings' manufacturing industry, it can be seen from Kyushu to larger cities in Hokkaido.

Although the user base is not comparable to that of traditional big banks such as Mitsubishi and Sumitomo, in addition to its own expansion, Beidu Bank is also actively participating in the investment and construction of various places.

There are as many as a dozen small local banks that have invested in or acquired shares. For a huge financial group, only one bank of its own is not enough.

Just look at Mitsubishi and they will know that there are banks associated with it all over the country.

Beidu Bank is actually copying this route, but with a lot of restraint. Because it is necessary to save money, it will be used later.

Also at the end of 1984, the market value of Shirakawa Electric had exceeded 4.5 trillion yen, ranking seventh among the top ten Neon Clubs.

Veteran electronics manufacturers Sharp and NEC are behind it, and its high profitability is the main reason why the market is optimistic about Shirakawa Electric.

In addition, with more and more products under its banner, the words "Shirakawa Electric" are more and more involved in people's lives.

Its only rival in Neon is Sony, and others such as Toshiba and Hitachi are no longer within the scope of internal benchmarking.

In the New Year of 1985, Shirakawa Kaede's family of four still spent time in Tokyo.

Kazuko and Hayato Shirakawa have stayed in Xiaolu since Xiaoqingkong's first birthday.

For them, although Tokyo is bustling, it is also too noisy.

The deer with beautiful natural scenery and peaceful life is the place where they can relax.

But even though they returned to Xiaolu Country, Bai Chuanfeng would bring his children to visit them every summer.

Not only Qingkong and Yasheng, but also Weixiang and Hengjiu will bring them there for their parents to enjoy the family happiness.

But, for the time being, Bai Chuanfeng's energy is still focused on his career, after all, this year is 1985.

It is destined to be an extraordinary year for Neon people, and it is also a year of great opportunities for Bai Chuanfeng.

Since January, newspapers have begun to report that the governments of the US and Japan are discussing the feasibility of adjusting the exchange rate and artificially devaluing the US dollar.

At the same time, Britain, Germany, and France also participated in the meeting. Of course, this is only a preliminary discussion, and the official meeting will not be held until the second half of the year.

This incident has just caused some waves in the financial circles, but it was quickly taken away by another incident.

In March, Neon will hold the 72nd World Expo in Tsukuba.

The theme of this World Expo is "Habitation and Environment, Human Home Technology", and the name of the conference is "International Science and Technology Expo".

This is the third time that Neon has held the World Expo, but this World Expo in 1985 has aroused unprecedented enthusiasm in Neon.

Since the 1000-day countdown, Neon has been doing related promotions.

In addition to distributing hero posts to countries all over the world, domestic companies in Neon also actively participated.

Especially since 1985, there has been almost overwhelming propaganda on TV, media, and radio.

At the same time, the Nihong government stipulates that students across the country, including primary and middle school students, high school students, universities, and short colleges, can enter the Expo without a ticket.

Enterprise clubs have also begun to organize employees to visit the upcoming World Expo on a large scale, and some simply take a day off to go to the venue freely.

It can be said that from elementary school students to working adults, almost all the people participated.

In private, everyone usually chats, and they also talk about this World Expo.

The pride and full spirit in those words really infected the whole neon.

Listening to the employees of his club, even Yuko Tanaka and Keiko Matsusaka chatted with him about the upcoming World Expo.

Bai Chuanfeng had the illusion of being in the Yanjing Olympic Games in a trance, and everyone was equally proud and proud from the bottom of their hearts.

The reason why everyone is so enthusiastic about this World Expo is that Neon now urgently needs to show its new look to the world.

After decades of development, Neon has now become the world's second largest economy in 1978.

Automobiles, electronics, and Neon's technological products are conquering the world.

The World Expo, which has always focused on technology as its core theme, is the best time for Neon to show its technology and progress to the world again.

The broad masses of the people also understand this truth, and they feel that the era of neon has arrived.

In some fields of science and technology, Neon has even surpassed the United States and ranked first in the world.

Bai Chuanfeng can understand the urgent need for the recognition of the world, after all, he had this experience in his previous life.

Therefore, when Shirakawa Electric started to serve as the work site of the World Expo Pavilion and sign up for volunteers, the company actively participated and received more than 600 self-recommendation letters.

It can be seen that everyone is enthusiastic and looking forward to this World Expo.

Yes, Shirakawa Electric also participated in the Tsukuba Expo.

And it was actively invited by the government. Like Sony and Panasonic, Shirakawa Electric will have its own exhibition hall, "Shirakawa Pavilion".

Tsk~, how is it? There is a line.

Nonsense, now Baichuan Electric is one of the representatives of Neon technology companies no matter in Neon's domestic or overseas.

The product innovation in these years is second only to Sony. Under such circumstances, shouldn’t it have its own pavilion?

A year and a half ago, after getting the confirmed quota and invitation letter, Baichuan Electric made preparations for this day.

This is the time for Neon to show its technological image to the world, and it is also the time for Shirakawa Electric to show its strength to the world.

Of course, Bai Chuanfeng would not miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

All the clubs under Shirakawa Holdings fully cooperate with Shirakawa Electric to complete the design and production of various brain hole products.

Countless costs have been invested, and the brain hole products produced have shocked even my own family.

After more than a year of hard work, it is just waiting to be a blockbuster at the World Expo.

Speaking of the quota for the World Expo, when the venue is decided, it has already been reviewed and determined.

However, Baichuan Electric's sudden emergence is too fast, and the market value of Neon is in the top ten. It is difficult not to attract attention.

In addition, Bai Chuanfeng has a very strong relationship, and finally added the name of Bai Chuan Electric Appliances alone.

Although the preparation time is not as sufficient as Sony and the others, but with Bai Chuanfeng around, there is no need to worry about their products not being amazing enough.

After the auditing agency here in the government saw things, their jaws almost dropped in shock.

Yo, this is the representative of neon technology!

Snapped! Once the seal was stamped, Baichuan Electric successfully got the entrance ticket.

Time soon came to March 17th, the opening ceremony of the Tsukuba World Expo officially opened!

On this day, Shirakawa Kaede also got up early and drove to Tsukuba City, which is 50 kilometers away from Tokyo.

Not only him, but also Yuko Tanaka, Keiko Matsusaka, and Seiko Matsuda will also go there in batches.

It is a rare event, and everyone can't help but want to see it.

Bai Chuanfeng, who arrived at the venue, just got off the car, and was amazed by the majestic and numerous halls in front of him.

More than 100 hectares of land, hundreds of various pavilions, it looks really shocking.

But now is not the time to sigh, he has other things to do.

Arriving at the main museum of science and technology, before Bai Chuanfeng entered the interior, he ran into an acquaintance.

"Bai Chuan~" Akihito who had just arrived here saw him, smiled and waved towards him.

"His Royal Highness" Bai Chuanfeng who went forward to greet him was the first to salute.

After all, he is of the same generation as his parents, and Bai Chuanfeng also treats Mingren as a junior.

"Okay~ You're welcome." Akihito waved his hand, "I heard that your Baichuan Pavilion has something very novel?"

Because he was very close to Bai Chuanfeng in private, Akihito spoke more casually.

"Your Highness the Prince will go and have a look later." Bai Chuanfeng smiled and pretended to be closed.

"Haha, good," Mingren happily agreed.

As the honorary president of the Expo, Akihito needs to speak at the opening ceremony of the Expo.

Similarly, Bai Chuanfeng also has an additional role at this World Expo.
