Chapter 112: Main Board Crisis

In 2000, there was no Meituan takeaway, and at 12 o'clock at noon, people from the entire Auto City poured into the only few restaurants around.

After waiting for the meal, Zhang Yunliang asked, "Brother Yuan, how is the Citroen you sell?"

Cheng Yuan said, "A small seller like me, I still have to get goods from those 4S stores, people have already made a profit, you said how much can be left here when you talk to my brother, and the value of this Citroen brand is not high, the rich look down on it, and the rich people can't afford it, it's embarrassing."

"Then you haven't thought about setting up a 4S store by yourself?" Zhang Yunliang is a person who doesn't know the price of firewood and rice.

Cheng Yuan probably also knew that Zhang Yunliang was an open-mouthed person, and said without care, "Open a 4S store, do you really think it's as simple as your upper lip touching your lower lip, the investment in a single store is almost 6 million yuan, and if it is a good brand, it is more than that."

"You can get your dad to make some money, and then some investment or something."

"I have this idea, but the funds are still not enough, and we have to think about it in the long run," Cheng Yuan said with a sigh.

After hearing this, Fang Yi asked, "What brand is Brother Yuan going to do?"

Cheng Yuan sighed and said, "It would be good if it could be a brand such as Volkswagen and Buick, but these brands are not easy to apply."

Fang Yi originally wanted to follow the investment in the automobile sales industry, because the 10 years from 2005 are the golden 10 years of China's automobile industry, the number of cars in the country has doubled to rise, the country in order to stimulate domestic demand, revitalize the automobile industry, different times and different batches of exemption or partial reduction and exemption of 1.6L and below the purchase tax of small displacement cars, this era even CD urban area is rare to see Mercedes-Benz and BMW will be rotten after 2015, purely from the point of view of making money, will be a good industry. However, the auto industry is not quite in line with its own big development strategy. However, it is still possible to remind you that "Brother Yuan, if you want to do your own car 4S shop, I suggest that you can do Infiniti, Lexus, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, these brands, sales and profits are very good." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Yunliang said, "Brother Fang, if you have money, can you invest a little, Brother Yuan's 4S store dream has been done for a long time"

After all, it's only the first time we met, so do you invest rashly, but I thought of the idea that I wanted to do angel investment two days ago and asked, "How much money are you missing now?"

Cheng Yuan said with anticipation, "If you want to apply for the first-line brands you just mentioned, you still need an investment of at least 3 million, and if you make some brands like Chevrolet and Citroen, it will be enough to have another 1 million."

Fang Yi thought about the automobile market around 2000 and said, "Brother Yuan, now there are still a few years before the automobile market is hot, you will also do accumulation, by 2003, you come to me, I will invest you to make a first-line brand of 4S store, if you have the ability at that time, we can also be a cross-brand car sales company"

On Friday, June 2, Fang Yi received a call from Sun Tao, "Mr. Fang, you are really a god, since you entered a long order, the Hang Seng Index has been rising, and it has reached 15,200 points so far, you have earned 1,500 points, and you have earned 15 million in 200 positions, Mr. Fang, I called today to ask you what to do with your contracts, do you want to close them now"

Fang Yi asked without thinking, "Manager Sun, you are also a professional in the securities industry, whether from the news or the technical side, is there any sign of weakness in the Hang Seng Index now?"

Sun Tao thought about it and was right, now every day is closed with a big white line, and it seems that there is still momentum for upward attack." Now from a technical point of view, there is no sign of weakness, but Mr. Fang, I want to remind you that from the general trend, the Hang Seng Index has risen sharply for 1 and a half years, directly from 6500 points to 18400, an increase of 2.8 times, after the rise of the appropriate adjustment period is inevitable, you can look at the K-line chart, the entire adjustment period is only 3 months, and the point is only 5000 points, so I say that this adjustment is far from enough. If you're going to hold it, we'll wait until you call to do it for you."

Hanging up the phone, Fang Yi called Zheng Rongjun and said, "Rongjun, help us book a ticket to Guangzhou tomorrow on Monday."

Zheng Rongjun nodded, recorded this matter in his notebook and said, "Mr. Fang, just now Mr. Huang Hua and Mr. Huang called and said that Li Hui, who you made his attention pay attention to, has been a little abnormal recently."

Fang Yi heard that Li Hui hadn't reacted to who he was, so he immediately asked, "What's his situation?"

Zheng Rongjun looked at the keywords recorded in the book and said, "Mr. Huang said that their Keno Technology frequently mobilized funds and hoarded a large number of motherboards in the Guangzhou electronics market."

Fang Yi thought for a moment and said, "What does it matter to us that they hoard the motherboard?"

Zheng Rongjun said, "It's strange here, he is hoarding the MSI motherboard in our "Century" computer system, and this motherboard is used in our high-end and mid-range products, and it is our most used motherboard"

"Then how much inventory do we have for this product?" Fang Yi asked

Zheng Rongjun looked at the notebook and said, "As of just now, we still have 612 motherboards of this model in stock, which can be used for 12 days according to the recent sales situation."

Fang Yi thought for a while and said, "Then according to the current situation, Keno Technology is coming for us, you asked Huang Yong to come to me."

Half an hour later, Huang Yong came to Fang Yi's office, Fang Yi motioned for him to sit down and said, "Brother Yong, do you know that someone is hoarding the MSI motherboards we use?"

Huang Yong said, "I don't know about this yet, but we haven't ordered from agents and factories since yesterday."

"If we don't have this motherboard, do you have any solutions?" Fang Yi asked

Huang Yong thought for a while and said, "The reason why we chose this motherboard and used it in our two models of products is mainly because this motherboard is the most cost-effective, and we can maximize profits by using these two motherboards. There will be a mismatch problem on the memory module, and another is that now the market share of our two products is very high, many customers are using our machines to feel good, friends introduce friends, customers introduce customers over, we dare not carry out large-scale product replacement in a short period of time"

Fang Yi listened for a long time and didn't hear Huang Yong's solution, "What should I do next?"

Huang Yong said, "Even if Keno Technology hoarded a large number of our motherboards, it is impossible for him to contract the factory, I am ready to find their regional general manager and ask them to help us solve the problem of shortage of stock, if not, then we will not use MSI products in the future"

Fang Yi shook his head and said, "Brother Yong, we can't put all the expectations of solving the problem on others, since the other party wants to take such an action, then they must have thought that we will deal with it like this, so I think we should start from three aspects, first, we need to launch a new "century" Brand models, expand our product line, attract more consumers to buy our products, you calculate how much time it takes for a new product to be tested to the official launch, second, with time, then we can calculate the number of products needed during this time, find someone to go to Zhongguancun in Yanjing to find a way to purchase this model of motherboard, for us to launch a new generation of products to reserve enough time and space, third, we communicate with MSI people, let them help us coordinate a certain amount of products"

Huang Tong pondered for a while and said, "Mr. Fang, it takes us a minimum of 30 days from R&D to listing a product, and according to the current inventory, we only need to make up for 18 days, about 1,000 pieces." If we had purchased from other sources, it would have increased our costs a lot."

"For these 1000 motherboards, we don't care about the cost, we must find ways to make up enough, and in the future, we will try to use mainstream accessories under the same conditions to avoid similar situations" After Fang Yi and Huang Yong discussed the corresponding measures, his right hand slapped heavily on the armrest of the chair, since you want to fight, then let's fight, Li Hui's action specifically for Fang Yi this time provoked Fang Yi's fierce fighting intent. Fortunately, he is now starting with the computer, if in a few months, when Fang Yi is promoting Xiao C, all kinds of electronic components are produced according to specifications, if there is a problem in these products, then Fang Yi's loss is not just 1000 motherboards can be compared. The other party took the initiative to stretch out his claws, so he must cut them off.

Just as Fang Yi was thinking about how to deal with Li Hui, there was a knock on the office door, Fang Yi looked up and saw that it was Zhao Li, stretched out his hand and beckoned, "Zhao Li, why do you have time to come here today?"

Zhao Li said, "I came over today to conduct a routine inspection of the work of the second software department, and I heard that they were in the office, so I came to have a look."

Fang Yi nodded and said, "How is the work of the software company progressing now?"

Zhao Li sorted out his thoughts and said, "Overall, it is still very good, our team has become more and more mature, the software is now constantly improving the supply chain and member payment software, and now we are waiting for the data docking with the bank, the shopping website development of the second software department is also relatively smooth, all parts have been completed, and we can test it in 10 days, if everything goes well, we can go online in mid-July."

Fang Yi nodded and expressed satisfaction: "There is no problem with our server, right?"

Zhao Li said very confidently, "There is no problem at all in terms of servers, as far as China is concerned, except for banks, there is no company that can spend such a large amount of money on server investment"
