Chapter 631: Compromise
Duan Yongping looked at the microphone in his hand, a little distracted, and his heart was even more mixed.
The big problem of how to get out of the little overlord has now been solved so easily by Fang Chen, and the solution is still so perfect, if he doesn't respect Fang Chen, then he not only has no conscience, but also has no brain.
Besides, after so many years with Fang Chen, how could he not know what Fang Chen was like, like this, Fang Chen still likes to listen to it, as long as he has a good degree, don't talk about it often, if he talks too much, it will become vulgar.
"Okay, I won't have anything to do with you, after talking about it for a long time, you haven't told me how our game console is, can Xiaobawang bypass the patent barrier of the red and white machine and create a game console that belongs to us. Fang Chen asked in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Duan Yongping said confidently: "Yes, I didn't report to you before, the operating section and core of our learning machine are all developed by ourselves, and even the CPU is a new CPU specially designed and developed by Ricoh Company with us, which is much higher than the 6502 chip, with a main frequency of 2.1MHZ, a direct addressing capacity of 128KB, and the processing power has also been upgraded to 16 bits." ”
"I'm not asking about learning machines, I'm talking about game consoles!" Fang Chen said helplessly.
Duan Yongping instantly grasped the key point in Fang Chen's words, and said in surprise: "Aren't you going to sell a learning machine in Southeast Asia?"
According to what he thinks, it is good to sell learning machines directly, from the current comparison of domestic learning machines and game console sales, it is obvious that the competitiveness of learning machines is stronger, and it can even be said that game machines are in front of learning machines, and there is no power to fight back.
The same is true in terms of production, except for Foxconn, which also retains a production line for game consoles, and the rest of the game console production lines have all been changed to learning machine production lines.
And you must know that when the learning machine is developed, all indicators are considered for going abroad.
Fang Chen shook his head, "Ready, but I estimate that in Southeast Asia, learning machines are not the main sales force." ”
The level of education in Southeast Asian countries is generally not high, not to mention now, even around 2010, it is still implemented compulsory education at the primary school level, although some countries have free junior high school and high school, but there are no mandatory requirements, according to the people's own desire to go to school.
Without mandatory constraints, there is a problem, that is, the school attendance rate is not high.
Once the restrictions are compulsory, it shows that it is the obligation of schools, parents and society to allow school-age children and adolescents to receive compulsory education.
Parents who do not send their students to school must be held responsible, and if schools do not accept school-age children and teenagers to school, schools must be held responsible, and if the government does not provide corresponding conditions, they must also be regulated by law.
In addition, there is no computer popularization in Southeast Asia, starting from a child, learning mathematics, physics and chemistry, and not being afraid to go all over the world.
It is precisely because of the lack of attention to education that Southeast Asia will be overtaken by China, and the economy as a whole is only one-fifth of that of China.
You must know that the conditions in Southeast Asia are almost the same as those in Lingnan, rice and other crops are sown at any time, harvested in all seasons, there are many ports, English education is generally better than in China, and even whether you can speak fluent English to judge the education level of Southeast Asian countries.
As for Singapore, which attaches more importance to education, because of the high level of affluence, the average family can afford to buy a computer, so there is no need for products such as learning machines.
Fang Chen even predicts that there will be a so-called sense of authenticity in Singapore, which will lead to the rejection of his products.
But it doesn't matter, it's a big deal that he doesn't want the Singapore market, anyway, there isn't much population.
"Then you mean to start a part of the game console production line?" Duan Yongping asked uncertainly.
Fang Chen shook his head, "It can't be said to be enabled, since it is going to open the Southeast Asian market, then the company will definitely increase some more production capacity, I mean, in this part of the production capacity to be increased, increase the production of game consoles." And I'm not saying that you won't be allowed to sell game consoles, you can sell game consoles and learning machines at the same time, just that I estimate that the sales situation in Southeast Asia will not be the same as in China, and in Southeast Asia, the sales ratio of game consoles will be higher than that of Gaonei. ”
As soon as these words came out, Duan Yongping completely understood, it turned out that Fang Chen was taking precautions, and let him make preparations in advance, and the emergence of the province The sales ratio of game consoles in Southeast Asia was high, resulting in the company facing the embarrassing situation of having neither game consoles nor game console production lines.
At this point, he believes that the national conditions in Southeast Asia are different from those of China, the customs and habits are also different, and the education level is even different, so it is naturally impossible to copy the domestic sales situation.
"Okay, I'll go down and arrange these immediately, and there should be no problem with the game console bypassing the patent barriers of the red and white machine. Duan Yongping said with confidence.
Previously, because of the decline in sales of game consoles, he has not made any changes to game consoles, and all R&D efforts have focused on the improvement of learning consoles and the production of game portings.
But as long as you want to change, you can change it immediately, now Xiaobawang as a high-tech enterprise with more than 10,000 employees, monthly sales of more than 300 million, and the first high-tech enterprise in China, if you can't even do this little thing, then I'm afraid it's really funny.
"The technical problem is easy to solve, so how to establish a sales channel? Is it still a direct store? In addition, does our game console need to be compatible with FC games?" Duan Yongping asked pointedly.
Fang Chen frowned slightly, he didn't have an answer to these questions for a while, and couldn't help but bow his head and think about it.
After a long time, Fang Chen slowly raised his head, took a long breath, and made a decision in his heart.
"In the sales channels in Southeast Asia, the agent system is adopted, and the branches in Southeast Asian countries only need to open some experience stores and after-sales centers in major cities to be responsible for promoting our products and providing after-sales warranty services. Fang Chen said slowly.
"Experience store?"
Although he knew that what Fang Chen said was the best choice, Duan Yongping couldn't help but be surprised, he really didn't expect Fang Chen to allow the agency system to be implemented in Southeast Asia.
You must know that Fang Chen is in China, since the first day he proposed to implement the agent system, he has been opposed, and then so many things happened to the agent, and Fang Chen took so much effort, which made those agents completely accept the situation that Xiaobawang has no agents in the future, and they can only earn money for three years.
For this reason, the agent group who was sent to prison by Liu Yuanjun and them was no less than fifty people!
It can be said that around the agency system, both Xiaobawang and the agents have fought hard and paid a painful price.
Now that Fang Chen can allow Xiaobawang to implement the agency system in Southeast Asia, he really thinks it's incredible.
Really, this is definitely a difficult decision for Fang Chen.
"Well, it's just an experience store, and it's not responsible for sales tasks. Fang Chen said lightly.
He naturally also wants to implement direct stores in Southeast Asia, which can provide the best service to the general public while grabbing the greatest benefits, and make the corporate image will not be damaged by agents, but he just thought about it for a long time, can't, really can't, and can't implement direct stores in Southeast Asia.
In this case, the cost is high, but the most important thing is that it is too difficult to manage, so it is impossible to dispatch all employees from China.
This is simply a fantasy, and even a huge disaster, so far, Fang Chen has not seen all the personnel of any multinational company transferred from the country where the head office is located.
In reality, it is impossible to do this, the salary cost is too high, and it also requires a lot of training in customs, language, and habits.
Another important reason is that the same two stores are exactly the same, but one salesperson is a native and the other is a foreigner, and everyone must consciously go to the local store.
And he is a Chinese, Duan Yongping is a Chinese, and now Xiaobawang's employees are all Chinese, and in the face of language, culture, and customs, they are not familiar with Southeast Asia, which means that the management effect of Xiaobawang will be greatly reduced, and there are even many management, which is destined to be ineffective management.
Any multinational company inevitably has a localization process, except for a few executives who can be dispatched by the head office, the rest of the employees must be recruited locally.
In this case, he can only find a way to reduce the management links and divide the rights and interests a little bit out, then the agency system is the best choice.
It's certainly easier to manage thousands of agents than to manage thousands of stores.
The agent is responsible for sales, as well as all the work directly facing the consumer, while the branch of Xiaobawang is hidden behind the scenes, responsible for some production, advertising, and after-sales maintenance.
Moreover, the agency system is not all shortcomings, and it can even be said that since the agency system is chosen by most enterprises at this time, it must have its outstanding points.
In addition to the above-mentioned advantages, such as reducing staff costs, channel construction costs, and the need to bear all store rent and decoration, the most important point of the agency system is that it can help enterprises quickly expand across the country.
It was a compromise he had to make!
However, he is actually not as difficult to accept the agency system as Duan Yongping imagined, China is his root, and he will naturally demand higher, do it perfectly, and be impeccable.
And abroad doesn't matter, it's not that important, even if it's the worst outcome, the company can't get a foothold locally, he doesn't care.
Just like the problems faced by Huawei and other communication equipment companies, they all want to enter the United States, the world's most developed market, but the United States does not let Huawei enter.
Then, if you don't enter, you won't enter, the world is very big, it doesn't matter if you lack one or two branches, but the country is the backbone, and the conditions must be guaranteed.
Strong capital and weak branches are Fangchen's important strategy for the international development of enterprises.
