The wide river flows quietly to the north.

Two sand digging boats stopped on the river, and a gentle breeze blew over the three people standing on the ridge.

"What should I do?" Dong Min asked.

"You go back first, Wu Yu and I will look for it again. Qin Fan thought for a while and said, after all, the child needs to be taken care of by his mother.

In the next few days, he and Wu Yu searched for "Wanqing" around Shunhe Town, but there was no result, and Wu Yu was confused in the end, only to feel that he was like a dream, and he couldn't tell whether he had seen it in a dream or in reality.

The same disappointment also shrouded Qin Fan's heart, and he and Wu Yu smoked silently in the car, speechless for a long time. After a long time, Wu Yu said affirmatively: "Fanzi, believe me, I am absolutely not mistaken. ”

Qin Fan nodded: "I believe it." ”

It's just that the two of them thought of a question at the same time: If Wanqing is indeed alive, then why has she never returned home in the past few years?

"Dong Min's child is yours?" Wu Yu asked suddenly, Qin Fan knew that he couldn't hide it, so he nodded and acquiesced.

"Are you worthy of Xuemei?" Wu Yu blurted out.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for anyone, if it's a brother, I want you to swallow the words in your stomach. Qin Fan said helplessly.

"I know, I know you've been a rascal since you were a kid. Wu Yu sneered.

"Each other, you still have to pay attention to Wanqing's matter, I have to go back to school tomorrow, Dong Min is also going back to Shanghai, and she is still counting on her to take ......care of people and things over there," Qin Fan confessed.

-------------------------------------------------

Qin Fan, who was tired, came home and didn't see the happy Ruoxin, thinking that Xiao Ruoxin and Jingshi were taken for a walk by her grandparents, and only Xuemei was reading the sales report in the store.

Xuemei was very strange that Qin Fan came back this time for a few days, every day he went out with Wu Yu before dawn, and then came back after dark.

"What's going on?" Xue Mei finally couldn't help but ask.

Qin Fan thought about it and told her: "Wu Yu said that he saw Wanqing a few days ago. ”

"Wanqing?" Xuemei was stunned, a few years have passed, the impression of Qin Fan's first girlfriend has gradually faded, and she suddenly mentioned the sensitive name "Wanqing", and she didn't think of what happened to her sister for a while.

"Well, back then, we all thought that she was no longer alive, but ......" Qin Fan paused for a moment and shook his head: "Maybe Wu Yu was wrong." ”

Although Xuemei's heart was uncomfortable, she still hugged him and comforted him, so that she would not be jealous of a person who had been missing for many years.

The two hugged each other silently, not even noticing that Ruoxin and her grandparents had returned home.

......

Xiao Ruoxin at the door looked at her father with tears in her eyes, thinking about why her father didn't play with her when he came back this time, and the Jingshi next to him looked at the little master, and then at Qin Fan, and saw that he hadn't paid attention to them, so he called out a few times.

With its cry, Qin Fan suddenly realized that he had ignored these two little ones in the past few days, and stretched out his hands to Ruoxin, Ruoxin angrily "snorted" and twisted his head, Jingshi just ran a few steps forward, felt that the little master did not move, clamped his tail, turned his head and leaned against Ruoxin's feet.

"Ruoxin baby, let Dad hug it. Qin Fan shouted guiltily, Ruoxin twisted her head for a while, and finally couldn't stand her father's earnest call, and threw herself into his arms with a smiling face, and Jingshi also ran over excitedly to hug his legs, shaking his little tail like a wind wheel.

"I didn't get this treatment when I came back. Xuemei pretended to be jealous.

Qin Fan smiled, then smelled the fragrance wafting from Jing Shi's body, and asked, "Whose shampoo did Dad use to give Jing Shi a bath this time." ”

Hearing this, Xuemei snorted and fell on him: "Mine has been put away, and it is your sister Qin Ying's." Qin Ying was angry and cried. ”

"That's not noisy. Qin Fan remembered that Qin Ying had a quarrel with Qin's father because of this before.

"Well, you said to bathe the dog and use such a good shampoo to make everyone angry. Xuemei said unnaturally.

"So you were angry the last time I used you. Qin Fan asked with a smile.

"I don't care, you buy it for me anyway. Xuemei smiled.

Ruoxin saw that her father was only concerned about talking to her mother, and hummed dissatisfiedly......

---------------------------------------------------

"Recently, some manufacturers have taken the initiative to find us and ask us to be agents for them, do you think this can be done?" Xue Mei asked after lulling Ruoxin to sleep.

"Which manufacturers are they?" Qin Fan asked with a move in his heart.

"There are TCL、Changhong、Konka......"Xuemei counted a few,Most of them are color TV manufacturers。

"I can do it. ”

"But our place is too small, that is, the samples of several manufacturers we used to represent can't be placed, and there are too many new varieties recently. Xuemei said about the situation in the store.

Qin Fan thought about it, according to the future development, Guohua Electric's place is obviously not big enough, and it is necessary to find a bigger place to develop.

"Is there a bigger façade nearby?" Qin Fan asked.

Xuemei thought for a while and shook her head and said: "There are small facades next door to the left and right, and it doesn't make much sense to take it down. ”

"If you want me to say that the business halls of the original unit are small, they should be three or four times larger than it to be enough. Qin Fan said disappreciatively. If you don't get bigger now, you will be squeezed out by Suning Electric and Five Star Electric Appliances in the future.

"What about such a big place?" Xue Mei said with some distress.

Qin Fan secretly thought:It should be the end of this year,The color TV industry will first be planned by Changhong"Price reduction war",Next year, Changhong's "price reduction storm" will set off a bloody storm in the color TV market。

When the time comes, domestic color TV brands will follow up with the wind. Konka announced a big price cut, and TCL launched a big concession activity of "embracing spring".

At the end of next year, in the national color TV market,Changhong、Konka、TCL、Panda and other domestic brands will account for 71.1% of the market share,"Foreign countries are strong and weak"The pattern has been comprehensively broken。

At the same time, the devastating price war is also a brutal industry reshuffle.

Before this war, there were still more than 60 local color TV brands in various provinces in China.

However, under the impact of Changhong's price reduction, most brands quickly withered and disappeared in the next few years.

The color television industry has entered an era in which five or six large companies divide the market.

This great commercial war was talked about by later researchers of corporate history: it was considered to be the Normandy battle of the "reconquista" of national industry.

The fiery and vigorous national enterprise revitalization movement made entrepreneurs burst with confidence for the first time. They suddenly find that the world is not as far away as they originally imagined, and those invincible multinational companies do not seem to be impossible to catch up.

--------------------------------------------------

"Do you have to expand?" Dad Qin asked Qin Fan while drinking porridge with his pickled pickles.

He is actually very satisfied with the current situation, the personal debts of acquaintances and friends in the early stage have been almost repaid, and the sales volume of the store has tended to be stable, even if there is a sales gap in a certain month, the sales of the following counties and towns will make up for the loss of the main store.

"Well, we have to expand, otherwise, in less than a year, we will be squeezed out of business by others. Qin Fan explained. Then he popularized the model of Suning, Five Star, and Gome Electric Appliances to his father and Xuemei.

"You say we don't have to spend money to rent a place?" Dad Qin thought it was incredible.

"Well, it depends on whether we do it or not, whether it's good or not, if our sales are guaranteed, I think the manufacturer will be happy to pay for it. Qin Fan said.

To put it bluntly, it is the profit model of "eating suppliers", and it is also the familiar controversial "entry fee".

The operation model of "business + real estate" of Gome and Suning and the profit model of "eating suppliers" (both to "eat" upstream suppliers and to be able to control consumers, so the core basis of the model is still channel value, that is, to obtain excess profits through the monopoly of channel resources. ）

After telling Xuemei and Qin's father about the business model, Qin Fan fell into deep thought, and at the same time, Suning took the lead in trying the chain operation model in the field of household electricity in China.

In Jiangsu Province and Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Tianjin, Chengdu, Hefei, Hangzhou, Xi'an, Shenzhen and other places in the form of direct sales and franchise to establish hundreds of chain stores.

Although Suning has only established direct stores and franchised dealerships in first- and second-tier cities, and the impact on small counties in the third- and fourth-tier cities to the eighteenth-tier is not very great, but in a few years, an electrical appliance store like Qin's father will sooner or later be swallowed up by them, or crushed by them!

Qin Fan thought of this, looked at Xuemei and Qin's father, shook his head, and didn't say whether they could do it or not, even if they could really do it, the family would not be a family.

Is it true that they want to become an e-commerce giant?

"Look for a larger façade first, but first consider the location of the façade. Qin Fan confessed.

--------------------------------------------------

"Qin Fan, you are really good, I haven't seen you for almost three months. Shi Ruolan exclaimed exaggeratedly as if he had discovered a new continent.

"There's something going on at home, has An Lao Ke asked me recently?" Qin Fan asked.

"You ask me, who do I ask?" Shi Ruolan asked with a smile, in fact, she recently talked about a boyfriend who was much older than her through a friend's introduction, the two had lived together not long ago, and they slept until they woke up naturally every day, and she didn't know how long she hadn't seen An Lao.

"Looks like we're both messing around. Qin Fan laughed at himself.

"Hey, then I'm going to mess around. As he spoke, he jumped and walked towards a slightly chubby man in the distance.

Qin Fan waved his hand at them, and was about to turn around and walk towards the store, but saw Tang Yue looking at him sadly and said, "Are you avoiding me?"

"Why am I hiding from you? I really don't understand what you say. Qin Fan asked rhetorically pretending to be confused. He didn't know what was going on, he was a little afraid of seeing Tang Yue, maybe he was subconsciously avoiding his emotions.

"You just pretend, I'm counting the days ......"

Qin Fan interrupted: "Xiaoyue, you are not young anymore, you didn't find a boyfriend at school? I see that Xin Yi in your class is good to you......

Similarly, Tang Yue didn't let him finish his words, so he shouted: "Qin Fan!"

The students who came and went at the school gate were startled by the roar, and they all looked at Tang Yue with a blushing face, Qin Fan saw that she was a little out of shape, and hurriedly pulled her towards the hotel.
