Wealth

"Too extravagant!" Zhang Mei said distressedly, looking at the dishes and cups on the table.

Fan Heng had eaten Donglaishun several times with Fan Wubing, and he was already relatively immune. It is indeed the first time for Fan Kang to come here. Although his living conditions were very good when he was at home, he was not so extravagant. At this time, seeing the tender lamb slices, attractive seasonings and side dishes, Fan Kang was in a mood. It's getting better all at once.

Fan Ting said casually, "Let’s do it now, the lamb brushing here is quite good. We recently hosted customers, one is to cook the lamb here, and the other is to eat roast duck in Quanjude. Although we also go to other places, But it’s not popular here. Especially those foreign customers who want to stop after having a meal. Our Chinese food culture for five thousand years is indeed not something that those who only know how to drink blood can understand."

"You come here every day to entertain guests, do you have enough income in the store?" Zhang Mei is not sure what this s club does. Although there are people coming and going, there are no shelves or anything. Everyone sits down and drinks drinks and chats. We chatted, and then shot and split. I have never seen anyone come to pick up the goods, so I feel very suspicious. I suspect that the place is so big and so many people are employed. What about the expenses of these people?

Fan Ting understood the question in her mother Zhang Mei's heart, and then slowly explained it to her.

The s club is actually just a large agency company, mainly to coordinate sales and purchase relations. First, understand the domestic demand, make an order, and then receive the goods from several large foreign manufacturers according to the demand. After arriving at the port, pay the tax and notify the party requesting the goods to pick up the goods.

To be clear, s club is actually a relatively large-scale second-door dealer, but it has legal procedures, pays taxes according to regulations, and meets the requirements of laws and regulations. So it's called an agency.

"Is there such a big profit?" Zhang Mei asked, pointing to the food on the table.

Fan Wubing laughed, "Don't worry, mom! You can come and eat three meals a day without any problems!"

It should be said that there are private rooms in Donglaishundi, but not very often, so I have to come back in a hurry. You can only make do in the lobby, but each table is separated by a screen. Although you can't see people, you can hear the people around you. There are all kinds of things, and the talk is more complicated.

Everyone was eating enthusiastically, and Fan Wubing heard a relatively young voice talking at the next table, talking about some recent international affairs. I read a book*

"In today's world, the market rules everything." The voice said, "In the global business world. It is also the same as China in drastic changes. It is entering a year of reshuffle. Some large companies in the traditional sense may be divided. The new real estate industry is budding, and new corporate heroes are ready to be released. The most sensational corporate news in the world this year is the spin-off of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (aT&T)."

Bell was split? ! Fan Wubing was taken aback for a moment. This year's affairs are very busy, and he has not noticed this problem.

This company, founded by Alexander Bell, a famous telephone operator, was once a symbol of the United States. It was once the largest company in the world. In the early 1980s, the company’s total assets reached 150 billion U.S. dollars, with annual sales. The income is 70 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for about 2% of the US gross national product. By this year, the company has a total of one million employees and over three million shareholders.

The long-term monopoly has turned this great company into a giant with mud feet. According to an example, the Panasonic phone produced in Japan at that time was only priced at US$20, while the manufacturing cost of aT&T’s phone was more than US$20, and the maintenance cost was as high as US$60.

Beginning on New Year's Day in 1984, Bell's 22 subsidiaries across the United States were split and reorganized into seven independently operated companies. This is a landmark event. It broke the long-term monopoly of the US telecommunications industry in one fell swoop, and also loosened the tie for the giant aT&T.

In the long run, Bell's spin-off has completely activated the growth of the electronic business and provided a broad market space for breakthroughs in Internet technology.

Fan Wubing was still thinking, and the people over there said, "The domestic situation is still not suitable for our exhibition. I plan to go to the United States to take a look." The others immediately agreed, "Haha, you My brother is a highly educated talent, and he can only realize the value of life when he goes to the United States. When the time comes, don’t forget the brothers

After hearing the words from the other side, Zhang Mei said contemptuously, "A group of guys who have forgotten their ancestors are thinking about running abroad. What is good about foreign countries? Is it true that foreign moons are rounder than China?"

Fan Wubing smiled and said, “Foreign moons may not be rounder than China’s, but the investment environment of foreign countries, especially the United States, is definitely much more formal than domestic. If it is purely economically speaking, China is really not a good place. ."

"Why, do you want to go abroad too?" Zhang Mei stared.

"Haha—" Fan Wubing smiled, "I won't be able to catch up this year, and I will definitely have to visit the United States and Japan next year."

Seeing Zhang Mei still ridiculing Fan Wuyi, Fan Ting said hurriedly, "Mom, don't underestimate your third child. You have to know that this guy who is disease-free is now earning money every day. Hundreds of thousands of dollars, this is not even Jianlibao’s profit. People are doing international investment now. In the US, a big pen is worth 10 million U.S. dollars!"

"What you said is true? How do I feel that you have only been in Beijing for a year, and your words are getting more and more outrageous? In your small place, you can earn a hundred and eighty yuan a day. Dare to say a few hundred thousand?" Zhang Mei didn't believe it. If you know how big a factory as Pingyuan is, how much revenue does it make a year?

Fan Heng waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about these useless words." After a while, he said, "But your son's ability to make money is really extraordinary. It's not just talking about hundreds of thousands a day."

Fan Kang smashed the lamb there, and said as he ate, "Anyway, one thousand yuan and ten million are the same to me, and there is nothing to do with me."

When Fan Wubing heard this, he immediately said, "What is this? Whoever has mine will have yours. Just ask for as much as you want. Isn't it just a few dollars? Are you paying inheritance tax to others?"

"Bah baah baah-Tong Yan Wuji-the wind blows away -" Several people took their chopsticks and knocked Fan Wuyi's head.

However, what I heard during the dinner was still a great reminder to Fan Wuyi.

This year is a very important year for domestic and foreign companies. The 19-year-old Dell should also start his entrepreneurial process with his $1,000. Different from Fan Wubing’s domestic channel business model, Dell’s most successful thing is that he overturned the previous business model and no longer delivers goods directly to consumers through distributors and agents at all levels.

But as Fan Wubing said, the direct sales model can be used in the United States, but it is a dead end in China.

The basic industries in the United States are very advanced. Express companies can easily deliver any kind of things to consumers, and consumers can also use various payment methods to consume for their orders. These are very comfortable. Homely life.

However, this is not possible in China. In today's China, there is only the post office as a logistics route, and it is very inconvenient. The route and time of the mail on the road are uncertain, not to mention the cost of mailing is also high. , This makes the direct sales model in China can only have one end, that is, failure.

The deeper requirement is that there are too many people in the country to feed. You cannot implement the most efficient method all at once. This will cause many people to lose their jobs. Therefore, direct selling obviously bypasses many intermediate links. New things will definitely encounter huge resistance, or they won't be popular at all.

For Fan Wubing, these are not problems, because the cost of consumers is high or low, and it has nothing to do with him. The various industries that are basically in a monopolistic position, so that he does not need to worry about these things at all.

Fan Wubing is most concerned about the opportunities brought about by the separation of Bell, and the Internet era is approaching.

In China, because the telecommunications industry is a sensitive government monopoly industry, Fan Wuyao cannot expect to get a share of it. However, the big cake of the US network communication market is too tempting.

At the same time ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ in San Francisco, a couple named Sandy and Leonard registered Cisco Systems for five dollars. They are working on a new product called a router, this small white box. It is this revolutionary product that allows multiple computers to communicate with each other and share information. It is this revolutionary product that makes the Internet wave in the future possible.

In fact, the emergence of Dell and Cisco basically represents two growth paths for new technology companies in the future, namely, a unique business channel model or a highly monopolistic core technology advantage. It can be seen from this that the distance between Chinese companies and American companies does not lie in the size of the founding capital, but in their respective vision and understanding of industrial growth.

Fan Wubing feels that he is full of fighting spirit, nothing else. It is really too challenging in this era. A lot of American companies are waiting for them to acquire, and countless business giants and leaders in the electronics industry are waiting for them to collect. For the little brother, this is indeed an extremely glorious thing.

"Our business cannot always stop at low-tech things like raising pigs and making soda! Nor can it be limited to selling computers for foreigners! Our vision should be more strategic and forward-looking. !" Fan Wuyi said to his sister Fan Ting after dinner.

"My son is a freak!" Finally, Zhang Mei asserted this way, looking back at Fan Kang looking a little unhappy, so he added, "Little son!"
