Chapter 549: Mr. Fan's Real Intention

Fan Wubing thought about it for a while. Kodak's color enlargement and printing equipment was expensive. A set probably cost nearly one million yuan, but if purchased in large quantities, it could cost six or seven hundred thousand yuan.

If he wanted to build a large number of printing and printing stores in the country, he would have to open at least 2,000 stores, which means that for this alone, he would need to provide Kodak with more than 200 million US dollars in funds to purchase equipment.

In addition to the expenses of purchasing land and building stores in various places, it is estimated that about 400 million US dollars will be invested. Most people are unwilling to make such a large investment. A key problem here is that the investment in printing specialty stores is too high. , ordinary investors cannot afford to invest, and the recovery of investment is relatively slow. People with strong financial strength generally disdain to do this business. After all, there are many businesses that make money quickly.

But Fan Wubing's idea is naturally not that superficial. There are stores all over the country in large, medium and small cities, and they are located in prime locations. He can also find legitimate reasons to acquire stores on a large scale. This in itself is a huge accumulation of wealth. Living a good life After the digital printing era arrives in a few years, these stores can continue to be used, or they can be sold, transferred, or rented out. The income will be very high. Within ten years, it is not an exaggeration to say that the value of the real estate will increase tenfold.

There is no easier way to make money than this simple investment with a high rate of return, not even investing in gold!

When it comes to digital printing, Fan Wubing is still very interested. With the gradual popularization of digital cameras, there will also be an upgrading of printing equipment in China. When the time comes, product upgrades nationwide will inevitably happen. At this time, he We should pay attention to the technology of digital cameras, and we should also pay attention to the technological development of digital printing equipment.

Digital printing technology is a cutting-edge technology in the photosensitive industry. It is the entire process of digital input, image processing, and image output. It uses the color expansion method to expose digital images on color photographic paper and output color photos. It is a highly efficient, low-cost, and high-quality method for producing digital photos.

Digital input is traditional negative film, reversal film, and finished photos. They are scanned into digital images through the scanning system of the digital printing machine and input into the computer connected to the printing machine. Digital cameras use storage media such as **, CF cards, and floppy disks. , md, and CDs can be read directly into the computer.

It can be seen that digital printing is not only printing images taken by digital cameras, but also printing traditional film and digital images in various other storage media.

Traditional printing cannot be transferred to a computer, so the service is more affected by the client.

Compared with traditional printing, because digital photos all exist in the form of computer graphics files, the photos can be modified to improve defects that traditional printing cannot solve, such as film fading, underexposure, red-eye reduction, etc. In addition, you can also tailor or perform special processing according to your own preferences.

Such as adding a nostalgic effect.

Therefore, in the process of digital development and printing, a series of picture processing and production services can be derived, such as photo modification, photo design, production of personalized business cards, desk calendars, commemorative photo albums and other value-added services. These are all profitable projects.

With the popularization of digital cameras and the rapid development of IT digital wave, traditional cameras are gradually being replaced by digital cameras, and people's photography consumption patterns will also change accordingly, from simple photography to printing to digital photography and computer appreciation. , reasonable arrangement, and effective printing, which will create a wide range of digital printing needs.

It is inevitable that traditional printing will be replaced by digital printing. Since digital printing has better quality, it can be predicted that in large and medium-sized cities, traditional printing will be completely replaced within ten years.

The digital printing market can be divided into three different levels: high, medium and low. Generally speaking, the middle and low levels are the civilian personal market, and the high level refers to the professional level and high-level enthusiasts who have special needs for photographic photos.

The consumption of ordinary digital cameras is much higher than the consumption of professional digital cameras, and individual users do not have high requirements for accepting digital photo effects. They do not need to use advanced professional output equipment to achieve recognized output effects and achieve the recognition of the general public. awareness, so digital cameras have the highest penetration rate in this field.

Therefore, the individual user market is the most mature market in the digital printing market. Moreover, in this market, digital printing can provide individuals, families and other users with a wider range of services than traditional printing, such as photo modification, enlargement of large-size photos, enlargement and enlargement of reversal films, direct enlargement of photos, non-photographic photo printing, etc. Enlargement of paper media, personalized calendars, personalized interior decoration paintings, etc.

The market space for personal market services is very broad, and the profit points are also diverse. Compared with the single provision of traditional printing, the market opportunity for adding civilian digital printing services is greater, because customers have more personalized needs, and the simple printing of traditional printing Compared with the complexity and diversification of services, there are many business opportunities contained therein.

Now Fan Wubing wants to arrange employees from various photosensitive equipment companies. In fact, he hopes to use their familiarity with the industry to build a printing specialty store as soon as possible to lay a solid foundation for the coming of the digital imaging era. , but the traditional printing market is currently the mainstream in China, so this market cannot be given up.

Since the idea of ​​​​getting it right in one step cannot be realized, then it can only be developed step by step.

Thinking that it will take three years to recover the cost and five years to make a profit, but in eight years the era of popularization of domestic digital cameras may come, Fan Wubing still felt a little distressed. It can still be used, and it's a pity to throw them all away, but there is nothing we can do about it. The only thing to be thankful for is that the benefits brought by the real estate are far greater than this loss.

Fan Wubing rambled for a while and finally fooled this annoying old woman away.

When Ye Ying left, she didn't have a clue as to what kind of attitude Fan Wubing had expressed after talking to her for a long time.

One of his subordinates asked, "Mr. Ye, did you ask anything?"

Ye Ying frowned and replied, "This guy is very slick. His words have no purpose or focus, and his thinking is jumpy. After chatting with him for so long, I still haven't figured out what he wants to express."

"Is it just an illusion? I heard that his father is a member of the Politburo. Is this -" another subordinate said.

Ye Ying immediately shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter. When Fan was sick, his father was nothing. It can only be said that he was a child prodigy, and his ideas and thinking patterns were different from most people. Otherwise , do you think a superficial kid can start such a large enterprise group from scratch? You know, within Fan Investment Group, Fan Wubing has always been the boss who controls the majority of the equity, and other executives only get a small amount. It’s just a partial equity incentive.”

What's more important is that none of Fan Wubing's companies have ever considered going public, so it's not easy to find out just how strong Fan Wubing's financial strength is.

When Fan Wubing returned to Boss Zhu, Boss Zhu asked him, "What did we talk about? I see that you guys had a very good conversation."

Fan Wubing smiled and replied, "Just rambling. This old woman is not simple. I suspect that she was asked to come here to collect various political and economic intelligence on China. What is the American policy towards China?" You should know the situation better than I do.”

Boss Zhu nodded and said nothing more. In the past, the Chinese talked about using foreign countries to control foreign countries. Americans are not fools. Naturally, they also know how to use the policy of using foreign countries to control foreign countries. This can be regarded as treating others in their own way. body.

"The reason why the Japanese used traitors when they invaded China is because they knew the situation in China very well and were easy to accept in appearance. It is the same now. There are not a few banana people who speak for foreigners, but they fight "Chinese brands with the same culture and species." Fan Wubing said unceremoniously, "Of course, we can't rule out that many experts and scholars in the country are also one of the driving forces. The bones of the Chinese people have been softened by these people. Now, even my thoughts have become confused.”

The two chatted for a while, and Fan Wubing's cell phone rang again. When he picked it up, he found that the news from Indonesia had arrived. After hearing this, Fan Wubing's expression suddenly changed a little. .

"So what? I find you are busier than me." Boss Zhu said with a smile.

Fan Wubing said to Boss Zhu very seriously, "Habibie is very obedient now. He has already started to take action against the middle and lower-level military officers who participated in the anti-Chinese riots in May."

The Habibie government was forced to require Fan Wubing to provide timely aid funds. It had no choice but to suddenly deal with a number of mid-level and senior generals who participated in the anti-Chinese riots in May. According to Fan Wubing's instructions, it launched a series of attacks on the army and internal security police in Indonesia. Relevant personnel in the army who participated in the anti-Chinese riots in May were secretly arrested.

By the time Fan Wubing received the news, more than 230 military and police officers and police officers had been secretly arrested, and thousands of soldiers and police officers involved in the incident had been executed. .

Boss Zhu was a little surprised after hearing this. He didn't expect Fan Wubing's influence to be so great that he could already influence the political direction of a relatively large country.

You must know that although the domestic government has long condemned and protested against the Indonesian government, it is unable to interfere in the other party's domestic politics, but Fan Wubing actually did it, and it seemed very relaxed.

"This is all the function of the U.S. dollar. If you change it to RMB, it won't work so well." Fan Wubing said to Boss Zhu, "So the burden on your shoulders is very heavy!"
