Chapter 779: Something Went Wrong with the Expansion of Production
Thinking of the difficulties and obstacles encountered in the process of building a retail system for Xiaobawang, Shen Wei couldn't help but sigh lightly.
The local agent not only obstructed the industrial and commercial bureau from issuing business licenses to Xiaobawang's local retail stores, but even smashed the retail stores and threatened the lives of the clerks.
In the end, it was Mr. Fang who took action and sent a batch of local snakes to prison, anyway, the bottom of their butts was not clean, which can be regarded as deterring all agents, so that they completely stopped, and the retail system was successfully promoted.
Now Xiaobawang's retail department can ensure that more than 200 prefecture-level cities in the central and eastern regions have more than one Xiaobawang retail store, and the eastern region, Lingnan, and Central Plains provinces have basically covered all counties and districts.
His former subordinate, the current vice president of sales of Xiaobawang, Qin Shujun also called him a while ago, saying that Xiaobawang now has 500 retail stores, the total number of employees in the retail department also exceeds 5,000 people, and the total assets of shop land and other assets exceed 300 million, which is the largest department of Xiaobawang.
However, just when Shen Wei's thoughts were chaotic and fell into the contemplation of the past, Fang Chen suddenly spoke: "You don't have to be embarrassed about this, not to mention that both Xiaobawang and Qingtian Communications are both subsidiaries of the company, I have discussed with Mr. Duan before, and after the head office is established, the retail system of Xiaobawang will be independent and the head office will be in charge of it personally." ”
Hearing this, Shen Wei suddenly woke up like a dream, and looked at Fang Chen in disbelief, independent of the retail store, what kind of operation is this?
Looking at the shock in everyone's eyes, Fang Chen nodded lightly, what he said was naturally true.
There is no way, Xiaobawang's retail system has reached the point where it has to be independent.
The current Xiaobawang retail system is too huge, with more than 300 million assets and more than 5,000 retail employees.
And it is expected that in the next two years, the retail system will be completely completed, and the retail system will be a behemoth with 12,000 to 15,000 employees, more than 1,000 stores, and assets of 6 or 700 million.
Such an existence, no matter how much you think about it, is just a subordinate department of Xiaobawang, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate.
Moreover, the retail system that has been built so hard is too wasteful to be used by Xiaobawang alone.
Moreover, Qingtian Communication also needs to build an additional retail system, which is costly, laborious and time-consuming, and he doesn't think it's cost-effective to calculate this account.
However, there is a more important reason, now the power of the general managers of Qingtian's subordinate branches is too great, and the big ones have almost lost their checks and balances, so to speak, Duan Yongping, Shen Wei, Berezovsky, Ma Yun, Chen Mingyong and Ye Lina, they only need to report to him Fang Chen alone, and no one else can manage them, they are in their own acres and three-points of land, and they are a soil emperor at all.
And because of his time and energy, and considering that if Duan Yongping and the other general managers make decisions, the effect will be better than waiting for him to make a decision, at least it is much more efficient, and most of the power is delegated to a few of them.
This is also the reason why Duan Yongping and the others are so persistent, and they always want to catch him and report to work, it is really because he has delegated too much power, and Duan Yongping and several of them are frightened, and they are not down-to-earth if they don't have anything to report to him.
And if the company has always been in his own hands, there will be no problem with this model, with his prestige in the hearts of these people, plus the system of Wang Wu's supervision office has been rolled out in various branches, no one dares to rebel, and no one dares to have bad intentions.
But two months later, Duan Yongping took office and became the general manager of Qingtian, and Shen Wei and others changed from reporting to him to reporting most of the things to Duan Yongping, so now this situation will definitely change a little bit.
And this is not very fair to Duan Yongping, after all, with such a large number of five independent kingdoms, it may not be easy for anyone to take care of it.
In front of him, there were only two ways, one was to reduce Shen Wei's authority and hand over the original power in Shen Wei's hands to Duan Yongping.
For example, the original single investment and expenditure of less than 50 million, as well as the appointment of the company's deputy general manager-level cadres, Shen Wei and they can all make a decision, and they only need to file with him in accordance with the procedures afterwards.
Now we will cut it to 30 million or even less than 20 million, and the investment companies that exceed this number, as well as the appointment of cadres at the deputy general level, will all be decided by the head office.
But he was reluctant to do this, because if he did so, it would not only reduce the efficiency of the major branches, affect the company's revenue, but most importantly, it would hurt Shen Wei's heart.
Therefore, he can only find a way to strengthen Duan Yongping's authority from other places, so it is a good way to hand over the retail system to Duan Yongping to be directly in charge, and Xiaobawang and Qingtian Communications will only be responsible for production and marketing of large customers from now on.
It's almost equivalent to, stuck on the seven inches of Xiaobawang and Qingtian Communication.
The saying that channel is king also applies to the company.
Shen Wei seemed to understand why Fang Chen would make the retail system independent, but it seemed to be separated by a layer of fog, a veil, vague, and unreal.
After thinking about it for a while, he didn't come up with a reason, so he shook his head and gave up.
No matter what the meaning of Fang Chen makes the retail system independent, but for him, it is a good thing.
Coming out of the R&D technology inspection center, Fang Chen walked around the administrative center, or the construction site of the office building, looked at it carefully, and left towards the workshop.
Well, that's right, the R&D technology inspection center has been built, and on the side, Shen Wei, the general manager, and the office building of the company's direct department have not been built.
There is no way, there are too many things that need to be built before, workshops, warehouses, R&D technology inspection centers, etc. need to be built, so the relatively unimportant office buildings can only be delayed.
When he arrived at the workshop, looking at the workers and technicians who were busy debugging the 04 machine production line, Zheng Bao introduced to Fang Chen with his opening: "Mr. Fang, this is the double-speed chain assembly line of our 04 machine, which can be said to be the most advanced electronic equipment assembly line in China, with an automation rate of more than 30 percent, which is 23 percent higher than the efficiency of the switch assembly line of Shencheng Bell and the Ericsson switch assembly line of Yanjing Radio General Factory, saving nearly 18 percent of workers. ”
Speaking of this, Zheng Bao paused in his voice and said with some embarrassment: "Among them, the engineering and technical personnel of Xiaobawang and Foxconn have given us great help. ”
He just sold melons and boasted about himself, and praised the 04 machine assembly line, but to be honest, the 04 machine assembly line can be so good, and most of the credit is Xiaobawang and Foxconn.
Hearing this, the corners of Fang Chen's mouth couldn't help but show a trace of an inexplicable smile.
Foxconn needless to say, in the previous life, the world's most famous OEM king, it can be said that almost all the skill points are used in assembly line production, when it comes to assembly line production, the first in the world, no one can beat it.
And Xiaobawang is also the first mainland enterprise in China to start to implement assembly line production, coupled with the profit is high enough, Xiaobawang has not worked the research of assembly line production, and even sometimes because of the reason of money and willfulness, some new technologies with high cost and poor cost-effectiveness ratio, Foxconn is reluctant to implement, but Xiaobawang dares to adopt.
There are so two companies to provide technical support to Qingtian Communications, how can the 04 assembly line of Qingtian Communications be bad, Luoshencheng Bell and Yanjing Radio Factory, the two domestic communication equipment giants several streets, is really too normal, but really think that he spent on the two companies, nearly two or three billion yuan of investment is in vain?
Thinking of this, Fang Chen himself was stunned, and his flesh hurt very much.
Since the establishment of Xiaobawang, the net profit earned is almost 2 billion, after all, last year alone, Xiaobawang's profit exceeded 700 million, and the revenue was as high as 1800 million, and in the first half of this year alone, the revenue exceeded that of last year, reaching 2.3 billion, and the profit was nearly 1 billion.
But with so many profits, Xiaobawang didn't hand over a penny to him, all of them were used for his own development and scale expansion, and Xiaobawang fought the national war, advertised more than 100 million, and established a retail system to spend more than 300 million, but he earned money from Russia and subsidized it.
By the way, in order to transfer Chen Mingyong to Russia, he also gave Duan Yongping 50 million to sell his body.
As for the other bits and pieces of appropriations, he can't remember clearly, but all of them add up, and the extra money he gave to Xiaobawang is always seven or eight hundred million, otherwise he really thinks that Xiaobawang, the first high-tech enterprise in China, and the first private enterprise are so easy to build.
And you must know that in the previous life, without his participation, Xiaobawang had just advertised on CCTV and started the national war, and it was still early for the game console to dominate the country, and the revenue was barely one billion until 1995, and then it began to sell learning machines, how can there be the current scenery.
Foxconn's situation is similar to Xiaobawang, Foxconn's annual revenue last year was almost 2 billion, of which 60% of the revenue was earned for Xiaobawang's OEM game consoles and learning machines, but compared with Xiaobawang's net profit margin of about 40%, Foxconn's profit margin was only 8% of the pitiful Baba, and the annual profit was 1.5 billion.
But this is already very satisfying for Terry Gou, you must know that in Baodao, Hon Hai's OEM profit is only less than 5%, and it is declining year by year.
In addition, Foxconn has exactly the same thing in common as Xiaobawang, that is, the net profit generated by Fangchen's 15% stake in Foxconn has also been invested in the expansion of Foxconn's scale.
In other words, don't look at Foxconn and Xiaobawang combined, billions of dollars at every turn, nearly 10 billion in revenue, in fact, Fang Chen can't get a dime in his hands.
However, it doesn't matter, as far as Foxconn's more than 20 million yuan, and he has paid more than 20% of the operating income tax dividends, he can't see it.
Besides, if Foxconn wants to expand its scale, it means that there is a lack of money, even if he doesn't take this pure profit, Guo Taiming still has to find a way to raise money.
And in order to ensure that his shares in Foxconn are not diluted, he will continue to invest money in it, so the more than 20 million dividends will naturally become even more chicken.
Anyway, Fang Chen has already prepared for the next twenty years, and in Foxconn, he will only invest and not make money.
After all, he invested in Foxconn, just to find a reliable company under his name, and he could intervene and have the right to speak, not to make much money.
In this regard, Guo Taiming was still a little embarrassed, and called him specifically last year, after all, even if they didn't take last year's dividends, they would more or less take some for living expenses, or buy a house, buy a car, etc., how can they be like Fang Chen, one does not move, and then all of them are invested in the development of the company.
However, because of Fang Chen's extra money, his shares in Foxconn have grown a little longer, about a few tenths of a percentage point.
After walking around the assembly line and chatting with the workers and technicians, Fang Chen turned his head to Zheng Baoyong and said: "Can you ensure that the commissioning will be completed in August, and the first set of 04 machines will be off the assembly line?"
Zheng Baoyong nodded heavily, "The 04 machine will definitely be successfully mass-produced in August, as for the problem, that is, the expansion of production is a problem." ”
Hearing this, Fang Chen's eyes narrowed, he frowned slightly at Zheng Baoyong, and said in a deep voice, "What do you think is the problem?"
He felt a little in trouble.
He was so anxious to let the 04 machine be mass-produced, and even the experimental bureau had to wait until August to open it, wasn't it just to beat Fujitsu with a measure that was not in time, and he drove it out when Fujitsu did not react.
However, the essence of this set of blitzkrieg, in addition to being fast, the most important thing is to fill the entire Central Plains Province market with a large number of switches as soon as possible, so that Fujitsu has no place to stand.
After all, no matter how cheap the 04 machine is sold and the technology is good, it is useless if there is no production.
For the current telecommunications bureau, the price is not the focus, the focus is on the spot, as long as they want a switch, they can sell telephone lines and make money.
This was the inspiration that Fang Chen got from the German blitzkrieg in World War II, when Germany directly flooded its opponents with an overwhelming sea of tanks.
As a result, now Zheng Baoyong told him that there was a problem with the expansion of production, isn't it fatal.
"Money, people, what do you lack?as long as you can guarantee the output, I will give you what you want!" Fang Chen said sharply.
Hearing this, Zheng Bao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said urgently: "I want people, a large number of workers and technicians!"
