"It's too extravagant!" Zhang Mei looked at the dishes and cups on the table, and said with some distress.

Fan Heng had followed Fan Wuzhi several times to eat Donglaishun, and he was already more immune at this time. Fan Kang did come here for the first time, although when he was at home, the living conditions were also very good, but he did not have such extravagant pomp, at this time saw the tender mutton slices, tempting seasonings and side dishes, Fan Kang's mood suddenly improved.

Fan Ting said casually, "Let's hurry up, the mutton here is still quite good." We recently had a banquet for customers, one is to come here to shabu mutton, the other is to go to Quanjude to eat roast duck, although other places also go, but not as popular here. Especially those foreign customers, they want to eat the last meal, our Chinese food culture of 5,000 years, is indeed not what their guys who only know how to drink blood can understand. ”

"You come here every day to entertain guests, is the income in the store enough?" Zhang Mei doesn't know what this pcfans club does, although people come and go, but there are no shelves or anything, everyone sits down to drink drinks and chat, and then shoots and scatters, I have never seen anyone come to pick up the goods or something, so I feel very suspicious, I suspect that this place is so big, so many people are employed, what about the expenses of these people?

Fan Ting understood the doubts in her mother Zhang Mei's heart, so she slowly explained to her.

PCFs Club is actually just a large agency company, the main thing is to coordinate the buying and selling relationship, first understand the domestic demand, do a good job of orders, and then according to the demand from several large foreign manufacturers to receive the goods, to the port after paying taxes, notify the party to pick up the goods.

To put it bluntly, the PCFs Club is actually a relatively large-scale second-class dealer, but it has legal procedures, pays taxes according to regulations, and meets the requirements of laws and regulations, so it is called an agency company.

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

Fan Wuxian laughed, "Don't worry, Mom!" You can come and eat three meals a day without a problem! ”

It should be said that there are private rooms in Donglaishun, but not often, this comes back in a hurry, can only make do in the lobby, but each table is separated by a screen, although you can't see people, but you can hear the people around you.

Everyone was eating in full swing, and Fan Wuxian heard a relatively young voice talking at a table next to him, talking about some recent international events.

"In today's world, the market rules everything." The voice said, "In the global business world, like China in a state of great change, it is entering a year of reshuffling. Some large companies in the traditional sense are either being spun off or in trouble, while new industries are sprouting and new corporate heroes are about to emerge. The world's most sensational corporate news this year was the break-up of AT&T. ”

Bell was spun off?! Fan Wuxi was stunned for a moment, he was very busy this year, and he hadn't noticed this problem.

This house was founded by the inventor of the telephone, Alexander. In the early 80s of the 20 th century, the company's total assets reached $150 billion, and its annual sales revenue reached $70 billion, accounting for about 2 percent of the US gross national product.

The long-term monopoly operation has turned this great company into a giant with feet of clay. For example, at that time, the Panasonic telephone produced by the company cost only $20, while the AT&T telephone mechanism cost more than $20 and the maintenance cost was as high as $60.

Beginning on New Year's Day 1984, 22 subsidiaries of Bell Corporation throughout the United States were spun off and reorganized into seven operating companies. It was a landmark event that broke the long-standing monopoly of the U.S. telecommunications industry and loosened the shackles on the giant AT&T.

In the long run, the spin-off of Bell has completely activated the growth of the electronics business and provided a broad market space for the breakthrough of Internet technology.

Fan Wuxian was still pondering, and the people over there were saying, "The situation in China is still not suitable for our development, and I plan to go to the United States to have a look." ”

The others immediately chimed in, "Hehe, your brother is a highly educated talent, and only by going to the United States can he realize the value of life. ”

After Zhang Mei heard the words from the other side, she said with some disdain, "A group of guys who have forgotten their ancestors, thinking about running abroad all day long, what is good abroad, is it true that the moon in a foreign country is rounder than China?" ”

Fan Wuxian said with a smile, "The moon in foreign countries may not be rounder than China, but the investment environment in foreign countries, especially in the United States, is definitely much more formal than in China. ”

"Why, you want to go abroad too?" Zhang Mei's eyes widened.

"Hehe-" Fan Wuxian smiled and said, "I can't catch up this year, and I will definitely have to go to the United States next year to go around with Yueben." ”

Seeing that Zhang Mei was still ridiculing Fan Wuxi, Fan Ting hurriedly said, "Mom, don't underestimate your third child." You have to know that this guy who is disease-free is now making money, and he has to make hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, which is not counting the profits of Jianlibao. What people are doing now is international investment, and in the United States, 10 million US dollars are smashed into it with a big stroke of the pen! ”

"What you say is true or false? Why do I think you've only been in Yanjing for a year, and your words are getting more and more outrageous? In your small place, if you earn 180 yuan a day, you can only go up to the sky, and you dare to say hundreds of thousands? Zhang Mei doesn't believe it, you have to know how much income does a factory as big as Pingyuan Factory have a year?

Fan Heng waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about these useless words. After a pause, he said, "But your son's ability to make money is indeed extraordinary, and hundreds of thousands of dollars a day is not nonsense." ”

Fan Kang was there to pick and brush the mutton, and said while eating, "Anyway, 1,000 yuan and 10 million yuan are the same for me, and it is none of my business." ”

When Fan Wuxian heard the elder brother say this, he immediately accosted, "What is this, if there is mine, you will have yours, as much as you want, just open your mouth, isn't it just a few dollars, if you don't spend it, will you keep it for others to pay inheritance tax?" ”

"Bah, bah, - Tong Yan Wuji - the wind blows - " Several people suddenly took chopsticks to knock Fan Wuxi's head.

However, what I heard during the banquet was still a big hint for Fan Wuxi.

This year is a very important year for domestic and foreign companies, and the nineteen-year-old Dale should have started the entrepreneurial process with his $1,000 at this time. Different from the channel business model that Fan Wuzhi engaged in in China, Dell's most successful thing is that he subverted the previous business model and no longer directly delivered goods to consumers through dealers and agents at all levels.

However, as Fan Wuzhi said, the direct selling model can be done in the United States, but it is a dead end in China.

The basic industry in the United States is very developed, express companies can easily deliver any kind of thing to the hands of consumers, and consumers can also use various means of payment to consume their orders, which are very comfortable as a common thing.

However, it is not possible in the country, in today's country, there is only a logistics channel such as the post office, and it is very inconvenient, the way and time experienced by the mail on the road are uncertain, not to mention the high cost of mailing, which makes the direct sales model in the country can only have one end, that is, failure.

The deeper requirement is that there are too many people in the country to feed, and you can't implement the most efficient method at once, which will lead to many people losing their jobs, so direct selling, which will obviously bypass many intermediate links, will definitely encounter huge resistance, or simply not popular.

For Fan Wuxi, these are not problems, because whether the cost paid by consumers is high or low has nothing to do with him, and basically the various industries in a monopoly position make him not need to worry about these things at all.

What Fan Wuxian is most concerned about at present is the opportunity brought by Bell's split, and the Internet era is coming.

In China, because the telecommunications industry is a sensitive political axe monopoly industry, Fan Wuxian cannot expect to be able to get a piece of the pie, but the big cake of the network communication market in the United States is too tempting.

Meanwhile, in San Francisco, a husband and wife named Sandy and Leonard signed up for Cisco Systems for five dollars, working on a new product called the router, a small white box that would allow multiple computers to communicate and share information with each other, and it was the revolutionary product that made the Internet wave possible.

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

Fan Wuxian felt that he was full of fighting spirit again, not for anything else, it was too challenging in this era, a large number of American companies were waiting to be acquired, countless business giants, and the leaders of the electronics industry were waiting to be accepted as their younger brothers, which was indeed an incomparably glorious thing.

"Our business can't always stop at low-tech things like raising pigs and making soda! We can't just sell computers for foreigners! Our eyes should be more strategic and forward-looking! After Fan Wuxian had dinner, he said to his sister Fan Ting.

"My son is a freak!" In the end, Zhang Mei asserted this, looking back at Fan Kang's somewhat unhappy look, so she added, "Little son! ”
