971. Interpretation
"A lot of people think you're an entrepreneurial wizard because someone has summed up your journey and feels like you're on the right track every step of the way. One more point is excessive, and one point less is a little insufficient, is there anything you would like to say about that?"
Teacher He continued to ask.
"Actually, I've heard some of these statements, but seriously, a wizard or something, it's too exaggerated, and my level is far from being a genius. ”
Of course, Zhou Fangyuan can't admit it in a big way, in fact, he is not a genius, he just has the prophetic ability that others do not have, so he keeps investing or starting a business, and can always do the most suitable thing at the most appropriate time.
But this kind of thing must not be declared, say it or not, others believe it and don't say it, if someone really believes it, will it be a slice study waiting for them at that time? As a member of the crossing army, hiding one's true identity is still the ultimate bottom line, and this must be observed.
"But if you can't be a genius, then what are the others going to do?
Teacher He subconsciously asked.
However, his household made Zhou Fangyuan beat a clever one.
Good guy, I can't admit this, and if I admit it, I'm asking for trouble.
"Don't you dare to say that, Lao He, you want to stuff me in the crowd!"
"Hehe," Mr. He laughed twice, "Then you should talk about it, you have invested in hundreds of investments, and people say that you are a genius and you still don't recognize it, so you can explain it yourself." ”
Teacher He said aggressively.
But Zhou Fangyuan didn't get angry, because he knew that Teacher He seemed to bite and didn't let go, but he was actually excusing him.
Because with more and more news about him on the Internet, the reputation of "investment genius" and "entrepreneurial prodigy" began to be placed on his head. In fact, there is nothing bad about this, for ordinary people, what is bad about being able to improve their fame? But for Zhou Fangyuan, this is actually no good, because he can't get any direct benefits from these fame, on the contrary, the more famous he is, the more likely it is to cause dissatisfaction among some peers. In fact, there are many people who are good at investing, there are many people who have a high investment success rate, and there are many people who are good at running businesses.
Why are you Zhou Fangyuan all kinds of geniuses and prodigies? What are we? Idiots?
Zhou Fangyuan is not afraid of offending people, but there is no need, if it is profitable, then offending is offended, there is nothing remarkable. But now the question is, obviously he doesn't get any benefit from these fame, and in turn he will offend people, who wants to see this kind of result? But then again, this kind of thing is something he can't stop himself, netizens are joking and having fun, what can he do to shut everyone up?
So Mr. He is actually an opportunity to follow today's show and give Zhou Fangyuan a chance to speak.
Anyway, the explanation is given, and when the time comes, others will pull it down if they want to listen, and if they don't want to listen, there is no way, after all, things in the world do not always change according to someone's thoughts.
……
Zhou Fangyuan silently organized the language in his heart.
"Actually, how do you say it? The development of the Yuanfang Group so far, it is almost a step by step, maybe I can indeed look at a distant place, but in fact, a simple analysis, this is not a skill.
Let's start with Kimbolo, now speaking, the development of Kimbo is a good choice to seize the market in front of international giants such as Kentucky Chicken, and to spread rapidly in the way of franchisees. But at the time, we didn't really think about it that much. What was the situation at that time? The development speed of Kimpolo was quite fast, and everyone saw it, but at the time of development, we also encountered a little trouble, that is, the supply channel of chicken was not stable.
At that time, our choice was to purchase chicken from the market, let's not talk about health and quarantine issues, let's just say that this price is unaffordable. After all, enterprises want to make money, and we bear the cost of storefront, labor, and equipment...... If the price of raw materials can't be suppressed, there really won't be much to be gained. So at that time, Kinbolo needed a stable source of meat products. It also happened to be at that time, because the Beitong Meat Factory could not adapt to the changes in the market, it was ready to contract with foreign parties. We felt that this was a good opportunity, because the meat factory has its own breeding base, its own processing workshop, and the reason why it is difficult to continue is because of other reasons, not because of the product problems of the meat factory itself.
In this process, relatives are helpful, at least the news is passed on by the family.
After getting the news, our family was very excited, but at that time, Jin Polo was just booming, and the liquidity in his hand really didn't have much money left after meeting the daily operation. At that time, we could choose to take out a loan, which was the way to go, but after discussion, we decided to use this method as a backup solution and switch to an open franchise market to quickly recoup the funds. This can be regarded as an attempt to see how well the market and investors recognize Goldball.
The results were certainly encouraging, and in just one quarter, we recovered millions of dollars, which we used directly to contract the meat factory, as well as its poultry farms and beef cattle farms.
This ensures that Kinbolo has cheap enough and safe enough chicken and beef to use, after all, it is a product produced by our own factory, and of course we can do it as strictly as possible. The follow-up development is also a matter of course, because the development direction of Jinbolo is determined, we continue to develop new fast food meals, and later even the sheep farm and pig farm are contracted.
When Kim Polo became famous and the city helped us, we began to contract farms and produce both vegetables and meat from our own industry as much as possible.
Cheap, safe, convenient, these are the points that we unanimously focus on.
As for the food processing plant, it was an accident, because of the production of farms and pastures, we can't guarantee that the ingredients will be transported over too far away, and the local sales will be limited, and the market capacity is limited. A large amount of material could not be left there and spoiled, so a food processing plant was set up to produce all raw materials into semi-finished products. Later, we found out that if we directly produced it in a food processing plant, it was cheaper than producing it ourselves. We simply pre-processed all the products that Gold-Polo needed to be able to be produced in advance.
On the one hand, it is used by Jinpolo and all franchise stores, and on the other hand, it is put into the market, because of the vacuum packaging of semi-finished products, it can be stored for some more time.
So, gradually, it became what it is today, farms and ranches are responsible for the output of raw materials, food processing plants are responsible for preliminary processing, and Jinpolo is responsible for post-processing and sales terminals. Nowadays, it is not surprising that factories and farms are being built all over the country. ”
Zhou Fangyuan said it in one breath, and his mouth was a little dry.
In fact, at the beginning of development, he had some expected plans, but now he can't say that, it's too late for him to take off his hat, how can he take the initiative to put it on himself again?
Teacher He, Teacher Huang and others listened to it on the side, their eyes straightened.
When Zhou Fangyuan picked up the drink, it was Teacher He who was the first to react.
"I see, at first I thought it was all planned by you, but your luck was really good, and you actually let you do it. ”
"Yes, it is also fortunate that the Western-style fast food in the market was basically in a blank period at that time, if it is put to the present, this routine is not so easy to succeed, especially now those international brands have also opened up the franchise market, and selected large partners in China, the local advantages of Jinbolo are becoming less and less. Fortunately, now the size of Jin Polo has also risen, otherwise, the consequences will be really dangerous. ”
Zhou Fangyuan said with "palpitations".
"Okay, I agree with this explanation, so let's talk about your development in terms of the Internet. In fact, when it comes to Yuanfang Group, the focus of netizens is more on the Internet, and everyone's various admiration for you is mainly from the Internet, do you have anything to say about this?
Teacher He continued to ask.
"Well, I'll admit, maybe I'm really a bit forward-looking when it comes to the Internet. ”
"Oh?
Teacher He is energetic.
"Anyway, it's a bit of a boast to say that it's forward-looking, but I like the new thing of the Internet, so I like to figure it out on my own.
I remember it was around the year 2000, and I was a child, and we got an Internet café. At that time, the family was doing its best to develop Kimboro, and my parents didn't have time to take care of me, so I indulged a little bit and played a little more on the computer. It just so happens that my hair is small, and he also likes to play games, so we discussed that it would be better to open an Internet café. You can usually make money, and you can play as much as you want when you want. ”
"And then? The Internet café lost money and made money?"
Teacher He asked.
"Of course it's earned, Lao He, you don't know how popular Internet cafes were in those years, as long as you dare to open them, there are few that can't make money.
But then I felt that the hidden dangers of Internet cafes were a bit big, you see, so many people gathered together, first of all, the air was not very good. When playing the game, the player is easy to engage, and once the battle is lost or some are not played well, the temper will inevitably be a little big, and it is easy to cause various conflicts. There is also the fire problem, which is also a big problem that must be paid attention to, it is okay if you don't have an accident, but if something happens, it is not a trivial matter. So after two years of opening, the two of us discussed, forget it, let's stop playing, it's too unsafe.
So I turned the Internet café out, but at that time, in fact, many people had already seen it. At that time, Internet cafes were far from their peak. And in the future, personal computers will be further popularized, so the Internet has a lot to offer.
Thinking about it this way, my little one and I first contacted a friend who has strong skills in programming, and developed a remote network steward together, because I think the country can't always let the Internet café develop excessively, and the relevant regulations will be introduced sooner or later, especially the situation of minors entering and leaving the Internet café, and the government will definitely manage it. This should be thought of by many people, even if it can't be imagined, this is also a matter of course, so we got a remote network manager, just hoping to develop it one step ahead of time, and when the country really needs it, we can win this part of the market.
Maybe if I say that, some people will doubt my expectations of the Internet. In fact, I am really optimistic about the Internet industry, including the existing Internet companies at that time, and I have carefully analyzed them. Analyze their products, analyze their operating model, analyze how far they can achieve in the future. In the end, I chose two companies to invest in, which are probably familiar to everyone now. It was Tencent and Alibaba. ”
"Tencent and Alibaba? These two companies are not simple! Lao Zhou, do you still have shares in these two companies?"
Teacher He stared at him with wide eyes.
Nowadays, Tencent is unique in the instant messaging market, and Ali is also a rare rival in the field of e-commerce, plus distant games in the game field, and Weibo in the community field...... These are all big guys, as long as you are a person who often surfs the Internet, you rarely don't know about it.
Faced with Teacher He's question, Zhou Fangyuan smiled.
"I have always had a good relationship with the two Ma brothers, in fact, I originally went to find Xiao Ma Ge, at that time Teng Xun was very difficult, almost sold directly to Telecom, and at that time it was said that the asking price was only a few hundred thousand, and this was rejected by Telecom, at that time Xiao Ma felt that he didn't know what to do. I also took advantage of it and took a part of Tencent's shares. Brother Ma was similar, but Brother Ma's situation was much stronger than Brother Xiao Ma at that time. In fact, you can see the advantages of remote network stewards here, we don't do communication, we don't do community, we do platform.
With the management platform that won most of the Internet cafes in China at that time, it could provide a reliable platform with a wide enough coverage for Tencent and Dibao. It is also because of the existence of this platform that I was impressed by the two presidents of Ma, so that I got the shares of the two companies and became their shareholders. As for computer games, this is purely my own passion, I am a person who likes to play games very much, I have played all the games of Far Away Games, including Blizzard's games, as well as games from other companies in China, as long as I have time, I will play them. Because I like games, I got a game company.
I am actually quite surprised that it has developed to this point, but this is the Internet, a brand new industry, there are too many opportunities in it, maybe when it will succeed, maybe when it will fail, no one can really say this. All I can say is that I'm really lucky enough to be able to get to where I am today, to meet a lot of friends, and to get help from my friends. ”
The last sentence was said by Zhou Fangyuan to Teacher He.
Teacher He understood, also raised the drink, and touched Zhou Fangyuan gently.
