Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

I looked at the prices and found that the luxury suite cost less than 10,000 yen.

At that time, the monthly salary of Japanese workers was roughly 150,000 yen, which was equivalent to about 1,000 yuan. The currency had strong purchasing power, and this money was enough for a family of four to live a comfortable life.

His room is 80 square meters in size and consists of a bedroom and a spacious living room.

He did not tell Sun Baihong his exact room number. He only asked the waiter to bring him a bottle of red wine. He then leaned against the window and drank alone, gazing at the night view of Tokyo.

It must be said that the night view of Tokyo today is comparable to that of the past.

After nightfall, neon signs light up the streets, tall buildings shine brightly, and street lamps on the roads make the roads as bright as day.

There is a constant stream of people getting off work, and they are not in a hurry to go home. Many people choose to have a glass of wine in a nearby restaurant to relieve the fatigue of the day.

Ye Chuan felt depressed when he thought that it would take another 30 years for China to have such a night view.

Looking back thirty years later, I am afraid that he has missed the good time to freely enjoy the prosperous times. He can only hope that his descendants will catch up with the prosperity of China.

He sat by the window for four or five hours without realizing it. His bottle of red wine was empty. He looked at his watch and realized that it was already past eleven in the morning.

After taking a shower, when Ye Chuan was about to go to bed to rest, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the air-conditioning equipment installed on the wall, and he immediately had an idea.

If I could buy a few more machines in my hometown, I would no longer have to suffer from the stuffiness at night.

It's just a temporary pain. In this era, air conditioners consume a lot of energy and the electricity bill is quite shocking.

But compared to the monthly income, this is very small, it's a pity that parents may feel distressed about it.

Ye Chuan didn't know much about the global world of that era. It was not until he visited Japan that he realized that air conditioning had become a common thing here and that the living standards of the Japanese had obviously improved greatly.

The next morning, after breakfast, Ye Chuan arrived at the hotel lobby early and waited. It was just past 7:30.

After waiting for a long time, he saw people from the Industrial Alliance coming down from upstairs one after another, and Sun Baihong was the last member to come down.

Seeing Ye Chuan arrive early, Sun Baihong said apologetically: "Mr. Ye, I'm sorry that I was delayed by a meeting just now."

Ye Chuan smiled and replied, "Manager Sun, you're welcome. I came a little too early."

Not all people in the Industrial Alliance know each other, and Ye Chuan's arrival did not bring any extra attention.

While riding the bus, I learned that the tour itinerary had been changed from Sony to Songxia Electronics.

Sun Baihong sat next to him and talked about the recent progress of the industrial alliance.

In addition to Panasonic, other major companies including Toshiba and Mitsubishi Electric are also within the scope of investigation, and Ye Chuan is extremely happy.

After driving for about twenty minutes, the bus arrived at Songxia Electronics Park.

In the more than ten years after the war, Songxia Electronic Products grew rapidly and became a well-known Japanese company. In addition, with the support of policies, its products gradually became popular among ordinary people.

The delegation was greeted by a director of Songxia Electronics Company, who stood arrogantly in front of the car and ignored the hand extended by Sun Baihong.

Sun Baihong raised his hands in front of him awkwardly, not wanting to put them back, but also not knowing how to put them down.

The director ignored his embarrassment and said to the people getting off the bus, "This is Songxia Electronics, a well-known company in the Big Island Country. Once you enter the factory, please keep quiet and follow our employees closely! Don't walk around casually, and try to ask fewer questions in the factory. We will answer everyone's questions later."

His attitude made everyone feel very unhappy, but they had to compromise on someone else's territory and could only nod their heads helplessly to show their agreement.

Ye Chuan looked at this person coldly. From his attitude, it can be seen that he has a clear prejudice against China. If he were someone from another country, he might have already kowtowed.

Since Sun Baihong didn't say anything, Ye Chuan naturally wouldn't step forward easily. He just quietly mingled among the crowd and observed the situation in Songxia Electronics Park.

Fortunately, there are currently no cameras in the park. Although it is surrounded by high walls, this does not pose an obstacle for Ye Chuan.

As he walked, he kept an eye on the surrounding terrain and secretly calculated the chances of success if he were to force his way in.

The group was quickly taken into the factory area and the first place they visited was the assembly workshop. As soon as they got off the car, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.

Where have they seen such an efficient production model? Countless rice cookers flow on one production line after another, and the workers move skillfully and smoothly.

The inspection team's field of vision was filled with rows of completed rice cookers, and the shocking scene left them dumbfounded.

The accompanying staff introduced: "This is a rice cooker from Songxia Group. We have the most advanced production line and can produce more than 5,000 units a day."

Everyone was shocked to hear this.

You should know that Songxia Electronics' products are far more than just rice cookers. There are 5,000 units of this item alone. Add to that the output of other production lines, and the production capacity of the entire factory is staggering.

Songxia Electronics was even more shocked because he knew that rice cookers were not the company's main business.

Songxia Electronics' main products include electrical appliances such as televisions, refrigerators and air conditioners. Rice cookers are only manufactured as an additional product on idle production lines, but thousands of them can be produced every day.

Looking at the surprised expressions of the members of the inspection team, the staff of the island nation seemed quite proud.

They then moved on to the vacuum cleaner production line, which was equally as stunning.

After lunch, the TV production line was the focus of the afternoon. After enjoying lunch at Songxia Industrial Park, the group began their visit to the TV manufacturing process.

The assembly of televisions is mainly carried out in a large factory building, and the visiting group went directly to the finished product testing stage.

The televisions that have been debugged are neatly arranged on the conveyor belt. Each TV with a walnut wood shell needs to be opened one by one for fine-tuning and inspection. If the quality does not meet the standards, it cannot enter the next packaging stage.

Although Hong Kong's economy has developed rapidly, it is still some distance away from the industrial level of island countries.

The members of the inspection team looked at the fully automatic production line with envy, thinking that if such a set of equipment was introduced, the production level in the factory would surely increase by leaps and bounds.

The tour guide then announced: "Next, we will go to Songxia's product user center and then answer all your questions."

The team members had a lot of questions in their minds, so they had to temporarily follow the staff to the experience center.

At this time, there were already many people in the Songxia User Experience Center, displaying a variety of Songxia Electronics products.

Since Sony produced the first radio in 50, Japanese companies have also begun to invest in the production of such equipment.

The tape recorders here are already the latest products, and their appearance is similar to that of the products of the era.

Ye Chuan couldn't let go of this machine, but bringing it back to China was like a pile of discarded copper and iron, because a tape recorder needs to be used with magnetic tapes, which Japan is best at making, and it will take more than ten years for magnetic tapes to become popular in the Chinese market, so simply buying machines could not meet the demand.

In the experience center, Songxia also has its own televisions, electric fans, and hand-crank washing machines, and people can personally experience the comfort brought by air conditioning.

All this made Ye Chuan feel deeply: "Technology can indeed transform life."

Compared with mainland China, Japanese home appliances have become standard in local people's daily lives, improving convenience.

After the visiting group had been immersed in the center for more than an hour, the staff led them into the conference room.

The Japanese company invited the Hong Kong Industrial Alliance delegation to visit in part to sell its obsolete production equipment.

Although these production lines are considered outdated technology by Songxia Electronics, they are considered high-tech achievements in many other countries and regions.

After visiting the production workshop, everyone devoted themselves to the discussion in the conference room.

The staff member said: “Friends from Hong Kong Island, you have seen the progress of Songxia.

All these achievements are inseparable from the company's R&D strength! Since last year, we have started using new technology and the original production line has been discontinued! Even if it is idle, we can easily meet your needs! "

No one questioned his words, and the obsolete production line was like a treasure to the inspection team.

He also suggested: “If you are interested in the idle production line, please contact me after the meeting.”

There is a pricing list in front of each person's seat - this is the price list for Songxia's eliminated production links.

Ye Chuan took a glance and immediately frowned.

Originally, he planned to entrust Liu Bohong to purchase one or two production lines, first ship them to Hong Kong Island by sea and then return to the mainland.

But after seeing the price, I realized that I had no authority to make the decision and that I had to apply for approval from higher-ups to use the funds.

Especially for the TV production line, even Mr. Xu took a deep breath when he saw the budget, as the foreign exchange required was enormous.

If a second electronics factory is equipped with such a production line, it may not be impossible for it to become the country's leading state-owned manufacturer.

To the people in the industrial alliance, these production lines were priced high, but they knew that considering the development prospects of Hong Kong Island, even if they were purchased at a high cost, they would soon be able to make a profit.

Many people, including Liu Bohong, were interested, and the production lines on the list were soon divided up privately.

Everyone bought their favorite items as they wished, and there was no need to worry if they failed to get them, because if Songxia Electronics did not have them, other electronic product companies would always have them.

Afterwards, the staff answered their questions one by one.

Although the Japanese seemed proud, they were friendly and answered all questions, considering that all the obsolete production lines had been sold out. "Mr. Furujima, can you tell me how Songxia Electronics achieves fully automated production?" Ye Chuan asked in Cantonese and asked the translator next to him to relay the question to Jiro Furujima.

Jiro Furushima looked troubled and seemed hesitant about whether to answer the question.

But I thought to myself that this advanced technology is no secret in the island country or even in the world. "Two years ago, our beautiful country developed advanced CNC machine tools that can be perfectly integrated with other production lines to form a processing center, and it is easy to operate! We have a close relationship and imported dozens of them.

Songxia Electronics was fortunate enough to acquire three of them, and now two are running on the production line." Gudao proudly recounted the story, as if his father was the inventor of the technology.
