Chapter 64 Linkage Effect

Since the matter of Fan Wuxi's purchase of three communication satellites was confirmed, both sides have intentionally or unintentionally spread this news, which immediately attracted the attention of many quarters.

In order to effectively manage the satellite resources that are about to enter the application level, Fan Wuxian deliberately became a new satellite service provider and named it "Skynet".

Even Fan Ting, who was far away in Yanjing, knew about this and specially called over.

"Well, I've answered more than ten calls today!" Fan Wuxian said to the elder sister Fan Ting with some complaints.

After Deputy Director Zhang contacted Fan Wuxi, he began to communicate with all relevant parties, such as the rocket launch provider, the rocket technology application party, and the PICC that provided rocket launch insurance business, which were all the objects he focused on contacting.

Three communication satellites! And it is the most advanced large-tonnage communication satellite at present! I was bought by a young man from Chinese mainland! The news caused a lot of shock both at home and abroad!

After buying the satellite, of course, it can't be left idle, so Fan Wuxian said to the elder sister Fan Ting, "Sister, haven't you been complaining that the branches in the provinces are a little independent?" Now there's a chance to solve it! ”

"What do you mean?" Fan Ting was originally going to ask about Fan Wuxi's purchase of a satellite, but when Fan Wuxian said this, her attention was immediately diverted, after all, she had a headache for the current situation of PCFANS.

Although PCFs' business is getting bigger and bigger, and its business scope has expanded to the whole country, the head office is a little unable to supervise its branches in various places.

The domestic means of communication are mainly concentrated in fixed telephone and telegraph contact, and the cost is not low, and the timeliness is relatively poor, after all, the headquarters can not fully grasp the more specific details, which leads to a lot of middle-level people in various branches to engage in some small actions in private, which is a great hidden danger for the absolute leadership of the head office.

"You know Walmart! They use their own satellite communication system, has sat in the global integrated management, I am now considering, after the establishment of the satellite system, also set up a model demonstration company, the PCFs club to make the first domestic enterprise to operate all satellite communication systems! Fan Wuxian said to his sister Fan Ting.

As early as the late 80s of the 20 th century, communication satellites were no longer a tool used exclusively by the state, and many powerful international companies began to try to use this advanced communication method.

For example, Wal-Mart in the United States spent $700 million in 1987 to build its own commercial satellite network system, and on this basis, it has established a set of highly efficient modern satellite systems and business networks.

With strong technical support, Wal-Mart has formed "four ones" and "one star in the sky" -- transmitting market information through satellites; "One network on the ground" -- a procurement, supply and marketing network that is easy to manage with computer networks; "One-stop delivery" - through the computerized connection with the supplier, the supplier can replenish the Wal-Mart shelves by himself; "Managing a Tree" - using a computer network to organically connect customers, branches, or Sam's Club and suppliers like a big tree.

Walmart has a unified product code called UPC code, which can be scanned and read. Managers select an item and scan the UPC code of the item, not only to know how many of these items are currently available in the mall and what the order quantity is, but also to know how many of these products are on their way to the store and when they will arrive. This data is transmitted to the data center through the backbone network and communication satellites. Managers can not only monitor the sales and logistics situation in real time, but also know how many stolen credit cards and information card recognition systems are working properly on the same day, and supervise the number of transactions made on that day.

Walmart's data centers are also connected to suppliers, allowing for rapid response supply chain management. Through the operation system, manufacturers can enter Wal-Mart's computer distribution system and data center, and directly obtain a supplier's commodity circulation dynamic information from POS, such as sales statistics of different stores and different products, the deployment status of Wal-Mart's warehouses, sales forecasts, e-mails and payment notices, etc., as the basis for arranging production, supply and delivery. Through this information system, managers have first-hand information and make analysis and decisions on regular operations and corporate strategy.

At Wal-Mart's headquarters, high-speed computers are connected to computers in various distribution centers and branches, and laser scanners on the store's payment counters input the barcodes of each item into the computers, which then sort and count them. When the inventory of a certain item is reduced to a certain quantity, the computer will send a signal to remind the store to request the head office to purchase the goods in time.

After the headquarters arranges the source of goods, they are sent to a distribution center closest to the store, and then the computer in the distribution center arranges the delivery time and route. In this way, it takes only 36 hours to complete the whole set of work from the time the order is placed in the store to the time when the goods are received and put on the shelves for sale. This ensures that Walmart can operate efficiently while having a huge scale.

After Wal-Mart established the satellite system, its logistics procedures have undergone a qualitative change, with the satellite console as the core, through the UPC code to grasp the sales situation in real time, and then send instructions to the distribution center, and then through the fleet to deliver the goods to the destination, the whole operation process is coordinated and orderly, reducing ineffective procedures and improving efficiency.

Thinking that Wal-Mart, a super-large-scale global supermarket chain, can do a game of chess in the world, Fan Wuxi's heart began to move, and he can do the same in China, after all, he now has resources.

After listening to her brother's words, Fan Ting simulated a beautiful prospect in her mind, thinking that she could grasp the details of the branches and even each process at any time, and the progress of each link, she suddenly felt that her brother's idea was very good.

With this thing, at least I can know the details of a branch at any time, and I don't have to worry about the people below fooling me, so Fan Ting supported, "This thing is good!" If you have this, will you even save money on phone bills? ”

"Uh-" Fan Wuxian didn't take into account that the old lady was so money-obsessed now, so he replied very cautiously, "Naturally, there is no problem with internal communication, but it is still not possible to do it externally, before we get the state's telecommunications business license, it is illegal to do so!" ”

"Then you're going to try to get the permit as soon as possible!" Fan Ting urged.

"Sister, how can this be as simple as you say?" Fan Wuxian replied with a wry smile, "The problems involved here are not only business interests, but also security issues, which cannot be solved by just talking." There is no point in talking about this kind of topic now, or later! ”

"Then when will your satellite be used?" Fan Ting asked.

Fan Wuxian thought about it and said, "It is estimated that after March next year, it will be more troublesome to launch this kind of thing, it depends on the weather conditions, but also depends on whether the preparation is sufficient, fuel, production progress, and some miscellaneous things, I don't know very much, everything has to be contacted with the launch and release to know." ”

"Oh, that's right." After hearing this, Fan Ting said to her brother, "Then you are busy, tell me as soon as you have news." In addition, the production base we have jointly established with Cisco has been almost done, and it is estimated that the ribbon will be cut in November. ”

"November, that's going to be talked about then, I don't know what the arrangements will be at that time, I guess the problem is not very big." Fan Wuxian also scratched his head a little, it seems that there are a lot of things that are very cumbersome recently, although the details do not need him to worry about them, but so many big things are piled together, and he also needs to consume a lot of brain cells, after all, only he can grasp the general direction.

After ending the call with Fan Ting, Fan Wuxian began to lie on the sofa and think about things.

Through the hotel's large floor-to-ceiling glass windows, Fan Wuxian can clearly see the sea view outside, and feel a completely different atmosphere from the north.

In the recent stage, he has indeed been busy with more things, and he has lost his sense of direction a little, until he calms down and thinks about it carefully, only to find that the things he does seem to be messy, but in fact they are all related.

Panshi's crystal glass factory and Wangtian Zhengda's new meat processing factory are both very large-scale, which can also provide more abundant tax revenue for Panshi's economic development, which is the basis for ensuring that his father Fan Heng can be handy in Panshi, and at the same time, it will also bring stable economic income to himself.

The acquisition of low-voltage electrical appliance manufacturers in Liushi has been basically determined, and the only thing to do is to set up a large-scale production enterprise to screen and integrate thousands of local low-voltage electrical appliance manufacturers in Liushi, and at the same time obtain a nationwide sales network.

The investment in the New Silk Road Entertainment Company in Shanghai seems to be burning money, but it is a very important link.

Because once your own satellite is in the sky, you need to have a company take the lead in using it to play an exemplary role! With the launch of a complete set of popular entertainment programs proposed by oneself and after achieving certain results, I believe that all local television stations will rush to cooperate with their own requirements, and satellite resources can effectively lease services and return funds, which is a long-term way to make money.

The idea of using satellite systems to build a global sales management system based on Wal-Mart's experience model can undoubtedly integrate the resources of these enterprises, and then all of Fan Wuzhi's enterprises can achieve smooth information and be one step ahead.

In the next 20 years, it will also be an imminent information age, and large group companies that have mastered information resources will naturally have a better clue than small companies that are scattered and scattered, and will be more aware of how they should make decisions, how to develop, and how to adapt to the market and dominate the market.

Except for the crystal glass factory, which now seems to be a luxury market, and the establishment of the entertainment company seems to be a bit ahead of its time, the others are all authentic industries, enough to occupy a large proportion of similar products in the domestic market.

At present, the new Silk Road Entertainment Company, which is mainly aimed at the production of crystal glass handicrafts and providing entertainment programs for foreign markets, is a soft knife slowly created by Fan Wuxi, although it seems that it is not very neat now, but in time, it will inevitably be a new profit growth point.

Entertainment companies plus satellite resources, it is easy to build a media company, once the opportunity is ripe, it is the best choice to obtain huge profits, think about News Corporation, and then think about the many listed media companies, Fan Wuxian feels that he can't face all the reborn colleagues without doing this now.

You can not only make money, but also play tickets, and by the way, you can also observe if there are suitable beautiful little cuties to discover, what a refreshing thing!

Of course, there is an important condition for all this, that is, the satellite will be launched into the sky as soon as possible, and many things will become very simple and logical.

Just as Fan Wuxian was thinking, Davis knocked on his door.

"Well, what's the matter?" Fan Wuxian shook his head and asked.

During his breaks, there were very few subordinates who bothered him, unless there was a problem that was difficult for the larger subordinates to solve, and it seemed that Davis had something important to say to him.

Sure enough, Davis said to Fan Wuxian very solemnly, "Boss, the vice president of the Great Wall Company, I am waiting for you downstairs now." ”
