Chapter 196: Got it, so that others have no way out
From 1993 to 1997, there were many business opportunities, and it can be said that no matter what business you do, as long as you have a little business acumen and your luck is not particularly bad, you can make money.
If you are more daring, you will earn more.
Fang Bai can think of many ways to make money, but with his current level, making tens of millions of dollars a year in business can no longer satisfy his appetite.
He has 100 million free funds, and he wants to earn hundreds of millions a year, or even more.
Xinghai Machinery Co., Ltd. is the basic plate of Fang Bai, the company's personnel expansion speed is very fast, has been in the main provinces to arrange the sales points, more than 20 provinces of employees have more than 100 sales personnel, the number of orders obtained every month is very large, especially after Xinghai Group in the industrial expo to make a name, sales staff is easier to convince customers, Fang Bai is expected to be able to win 100 pumps, 20 pump trucks in September, the new target, sales target of more than 100 million yuan.
Foreign orders, or it depends on luck.
The number of employees in the headquarters of the machinery company has reached 300 people, including more than 200 workshop workers, but it is not enough to ensure production capacity, and it is still stepping up recruitment and training to continue to expand production capacity.
Fang Bai estimated that if the machinery company wants to achieve an annual production scale of 3,000 pumps and 1,000 pump trucks, it needs at least 800 workshop workers, and the number of head offices must reach more than 1,000 people, and this is based on the premise that the production equipment is relatively advanced.
If the production equipment is backward and the personnel are doubled, the production capacity cannot meet the demand.
The domestic demand for mixer trucks is very large, and the peak demand year can reach 100,000 units, and there are 50,000 units in the trough year.
The demand for concrete batching plants is also thousands every year.
If Xinghai Group can occupy one-third of the market cake, the share of mixer trucks and concrete batching plants will be about 20 billion yuan, and the number of employees will reach more than 3,000.
Therefore, Xinghai Machinery Company needs at least four thousand employees to meet the production layout of concrete machinery.
Diesel engine projects, if only self-sufficient, one or two hundred people are enough.
The next is earth-moving machinery, such as excavators, loaders, etc., and the market size is also very large.
As for other types of construction machinery, the hand has not been stretched so long, and the market of concrete machinery and earthwork machinery has been more than 50 billion yuan in annual revenue.
Now the business environment is relatively poor, Wencheng is Fang Bai's hometown, Shencheng business environment is slightly better, as for other cities, Fang Bai feels that it is not the time to enter.
Therefore, the real estate company is temporarily developing in Wencheng and Shencheng, and it is enough to have a Xinghai Square in Wencheng, focusing on the development of the Oubei plot.
On Shencheng's side, Fang Bai stared at the few pieces of land in Lu Jiaozui.
In addition, Xinghai Square can also be built in other areas, and with the density of Shencheng, it can currently accommodate four Xinghai Squares: one in Lujiazui, one in XH District, one in the middle area of HP District and JA District, and one in HK District.
After the suburbs of Shencheng are developed, several can be arranged.
With Xinghai Plaza, in the southern city, there is no future Wanda Plaza.
If Fang Bai wants to build Xinghai Plaza, he will directly do it in one step, build Xinghai Square into a commercial landmark building in the region, and squeeze out other commercial plazas.
At this time, the Wanda Group had already been established, but the first Wanda Plaza did not exist until 2000.
The largest commercial form in this era was still department stores, and after the opening of Xinghai Plaza in Wencheng, the business of those grocery stores and department stores deteriorated.
But there is no way to take Xinghai Company, the county and city leaders are staring at this piece, and the relationship between the boss and the leaders of the industrial and commercial department is very hard.
It can be said that Xinghai Square leads Wencheng to the forefront of national commercial development, and the local government has a lot of face when it comes to this.
When Xinghai Group had a few successful cases, and other companies were unsuccessful in investing, the governments of other cities naturally invited Fang Bai to invest.
The real estate water is too deep, and opening a supermarket will also face some complicated situations in society, and now, the time is not yet ripe to enter other cities to develop real estate and Xinghai Plaza.
Otherwise, why didn't the boss enter other cities when Fat West came to such a good supermarket in the future, in fact, he was still afraid that something would happen that he didn't want to face.
Life is more expensive than money!
Some real estate companies, with money but no business, can't enter some cities for development.
In an early interview with the media, Lao Wang said that he went to southern Guangdong Province for development, and shook his head and said that it was difficult, and it was not a problem of money at all.
The business environment of the university is relatively good, at least it is not as easy to encounter darkness outside the school, so it is relatively smooth for Hualian Supermarket to deploy student supermarkets in universities across the country.
But if the supermarket is built outside the school, it may not be so smooth, and the three competitors in the middle of the night will smash the door of his supermarket with bricks, and the sinister point will be directly set on fire, so Fang Bai's school style to open a student supermarket is very suitable in this era.
Now, Fang Bai wants to find a short-term and quick way to make money as a side business, and there are not many ways that meet his requirements.
The first, VCD and DVD players.
Now there is no VCD machine in China, until 1994, the first year, may be due to production capacity problems or pricing problems, sales are only a hundred thousand units, in 1997 reached its peak, annual sales of more than 10 million units, and then plummeted.
In addition to the pricing factor, sales volume also has a lot to do with people's income.
When it first went on the market, it sold for thousands of dollars, and the average family couldn't afford it.
In 1997, the average income of the people was much higher than that in 1993, so even if it was listed in 1993 and the price was only two or three hundred yuan, the sales volume did not reach the peak of 1997 in later generations.
What's more, the products that have just been launched on the market cannot be priced so low, the market is doing well, and it is still possible to sell two or three hundred thousand units in the first year, and if you monopolize the market, the annual profit should be several hundred million.
Then, soon a number of manufacturers followed suit, prices continued to fall, competition was fierce, profit margins were constantly compressed, and they made hard money.
Therefore, for this kind of product with a lifespan of only a few years to make money, Fang Bai feels that it is crazy to be able to earn billions of yuan in a few years.
From the point of view of technical difficulty, Fang Bai felt that it was very easy to implement, which was both a good thing and a bad thing, so it was easy to follow the trend.
Another bad thing is that the market life cycle is too short, and after a few years of playing, it is not good for your own technology accumulation.
But it is in line with the characteristics of short, flat and fast.
The second, household appliances, of which LCD TVs are a breakthrough point.
LCD TV appeared in the domestic market at the beginning of the 21st century,After entering the new century,The domestic color TV market surplus has led to a large area of losses,Therefore, major TV manufacturers have sought technological upgrades,Therefore, plasma color TV、New products such as LCD TVs have come out。
The scale of the domestic LCD TV market can reach more than one million units, in fact, domestic LCD TVs have only become popular since about 2005.
When it first went on the market, the 19-inch domestic Skyworth TV sold for two or three thousand yuan, and imported Toshiba, Hitachi and other brands cost five or six thousand yuan.
If it is listed in China in this era, of course, there are not many families who can afford it, but it is also good to earn foreign exchange through exports.
In the early 70s, the island countries began to produce TN-LCD and popularized its application;
In the early eighties, TN-LCD products were widely used in calculators;
In 1984, after European and American countries proposed TFT-LCD and STN-LCD display technology, from the end of the eighties, the island countries mastered the large-scale production technology of STN-LCD, so that the LCD industry has developed rapidly.
If you can make an LCD TV, the annual profit is not necessarily lower than that of VCD and DVD players.
It is characterized by high technical difficulty and long life cycle.
The third, the computer.
China officially connected to the Internet in April 1994, and the popularization of computers should have started after the emergence of the Internet bubble, which should have started around 2001.
This year, Lianxiang launched the concept of home computers, and Lianxiang 1+1 home computers were put into the domestic market.
At the same time, IBM launched the ThinkPad, the industry's first laptop.
On November 5 next year, Lianxiang entered the "Pentium" era and launched the first "586" personal computer in China.
In 1998, the millionth Lenovo computer was born.
In just five years, the development has been extremely fast, and in the Internet era, the annual sales are tens of millions of units, or even more than 100 million.
If Fang Bai enters the computer industry now, he will definitely face competition.
It's not that he's afraid of competition, but he's used to eating alone, and only by eating alone can the profit margin be large.
If later generations wanted to develop into a real high-tech enterprise, rather than an assembly company, Fang Bai would definitely not want to enter this industry.
Every time he thinks of someone's face, he is inexplicably angry.
Hualian supermarket layout of colleges and universities across the country, if you take advantage of the opportunity to engage in school Internet cafes, and then borrow Internet cafes to engage in network platforms, as well as various ways to make money in the era of e-commerce, one ring after another, there is nothing better than this.
It can be said that with a good layout of colleges and universities across the country, we will have mastered the one-stop process of making money in the next 20 years.
This is more promising than engaging in VCD, DVD players and home appliances, and the amount of money earned is more than 100 billion yuan.
Fourth, mobile phones.
From a generation of mobile phones to smartphones, and then to mobile apps, this market goes without saying.
There is an unattainable threshold in mobile phone technology, and the period from 1998 to 2000 is the exploration period of domestic mobile phone technology.
There are also some ways to make money, which Fang Bai has not thought of for the time being.
With limited energy, he can only choose one of them, and the focus is still on the machinery company.
The first and second ways to make money, especially VCD and DVD, short and fast, easy to achieve, if the layout is good, more hoarding and then selling, instead of just developing it on the market in small batches, VCD sales to make a year or two of huge profits, and wait until competitors have no profits, and then launch DVD, although there is no technical content, but the development of decoders can accumulate some technical experience.
Of course, make a quick buck.
The latter two, if you are just engaged in assembly machines, are indeed not technically difficult.
Especially for computers, there is still more than a year before the first 586 personal computer was born, as long as you rush to launch your own 586 on the market in Lianxiang 586, then you will win the title of the first 586 microcomputer in China, and maybe you can also grab the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award.
This kind of robbing others of the way and letting the people they hate have no way out, it really feels cool.
If you are engaged in the direction of computers, it is the most convenient way to lay out Internet cafes and transfer money to the network.
And mobile phones, before the popularization of smartphones in 2010, can only make money from mobile phones, and it is not the time to do it from mobile APP.
Therefore, if you analyze it chronologically, you can first make VCD to make quick money to buy land in Lujiazui, and at the same time incubate computer accessories.
You can also assemble Xinghai Company's first 586 computer first, grab a title and disgust the other party, break the myth, let the Chinese people sober up, and then talk about the future.
If you want to develop computer accessories, you will definitely not be able to do it with Fangbai's current technical capabilities and capital.
Even if he only makes an assembly machine, most of the accessories can only be imported, and if people don't sell it to him, then Fang Bai can't play.
He is too threatening, and foreigners don't him.
Fang Bai wants to toss the computer, but he doesn't want some companies to suck blood in China for 30 years.
"Hemp, impulsive, impulsive, now think about it, it doesn't matter if you make money or not, since you are reborn, you have to do something different, in the eyes of others it is a high-tech thing, but in the eyes of Lao Tzu, the assembled computer can be called high-tech." Fang Bai also felt his impulse, but his whole body was full of blood.
Of course, even if it is an OEM assembly computer, there are a lot of things to do, and if it is not compatible, it will not be able to play at all.
If he wasn't familiar with the way of computer development in later generations, if he didn't have a golden finger to help him analyze integrated circuits, even if he was assembling a computer, he wouldn't be confident that he would be able to do it within three years.
He recalled the mainstream configuration of the 586 and was slightly impressed.
Processor: Intel 586 (also known as Pentium);
Motherboard: Motherboard that supports Intel 586 processor;
Memory: 8MB of RAM;
Storage: 500MB hard drive;
Graphics card: 1MB or 2MB of video memory;
Display: 14-inch color CRT display;
Sound card: 16-bit sound card;
Optical drive: 8x CD-ROM optical drive;
Input devices: keyboard and mouse;
Operating system: MS-DOS and Windows 3.1.
Judging from the current situation, Fangbai can optimize the keyboard and mouse, Hanka, display shell, other configuration optimization workload is relatively large, and you may have to redesign your own motherboard, the main problem is that the interface may not match, and the software is incompatible.
In fact, the first computer based on the Intel 586 processor in the world was launched by Compaq in 1993, and the computer model was Compaq Contura Aero 4/25. It is equipped with an Intel 486 processor and a Windows 3.1 operating system.
The real Intel 586 processor was introduced in 1994, so the first real 586 computer probably came out after that.
It can also be said that the first 586 computer in Lianxiang, the actual CPU used is still the Intel 486 processor.
At the beginning of this year, Mr. Nan wanted to leave his job.
Some people in Lian Xiang proposed to set up a general engineering office, establish a project approval system, and set out the guiding ideology of research and development, such as focusing on one or two key projects every year, and distinguishing between "watermelon" and "sesame".
However, Mr. Nan felt that science knew what was "watermelon" and what was "sesame", and he also proposed to resign in protest. In this case, the company compromised, and the plan of the chief engineer's office was aborted, and in fact, there was already a contradiction in the relationship with someone.
In 1994, Mr. Nan wanted to set up a large-scale integrated circuit design center in Shencheng, which was the case, and the relationship between Mr. Nan and someone deteriorated rapidly, and the quarrel lasted until 1995, and finally Mr. Nan had to leave the company.
If Fang Bai is going to dig Teacher Nan now, with his temperament, he will definitely not be able to dig it, and only when he is desperate, he will jump to the side of Xinghai Group.
Therefore, Fang Bai has no plans to dig Mr. Nan now, first set up his own computer company, set up his own integrated circuit design center, and wait until Mr. Shui has no way out, and then invite him, it will be a matter of course.
Now, after Fang Bai decided to engage in VCD and computer, he had to spend two or three months to make up for the relevant knowledge, and at the same time recruit relevant talents with high salaries and find OEM factories.
He can now go to school less, and if he wants to find relevant talents, he can first find them from Jiaotong University, or spend money to let Jiaotong University be responsible for some projects, and then he uses Goldfinger to optimize.
Thinking of this, Fang Bai found a pen and paper and made a work plan first. (End of chapter)
