Chapter 274 Industry Adjustment

There is no suspense that the screening of "Mythology" has achieved great success. The next most important thing is the market reaction of the whole film, but the box office revenue of major cities across the country for one week has made Fan Wubing and others feel the pleasure of income brought by big productions. It really is not a lifestyle film reflecting local culture. can be compared.

If we use a profound perspective to analyze the characteristics of Chinese human nature, then we can dig out four big characters deep in the hearts of many people, and that is a great achievement.

Big investment, big production, big scenes, and big flicks are the four principles of Chinese blockbuster movies. Unless it is a kind of alternative movie like the Lunar New Year movie series directed by Feng Xiaogang, it is difficult for general literary and life movies The grand prize and box office revenue are perfectly unified.

Afterwards, when many people kept asking Fan Wubing how he invited the old man to the scene, Fan Wubing smiled and did not answer, but he still felt a little pain in his heart. In exchange for his old man's presence, Fan Wubing endured the pain Bleeding heavily, it gave the military two An-124 large strategic transport planes in vain.

But Fan Wubing is not at a disadvantage. If he didn't express himself, it would be impossible for his remaining five transport planes to obtain a flight permit in China, let alone fly to Panshi Airport, which has not yet seen its appearance for the first time. Even if it stops in Urumqi, the airport will have to pay a rather high parking and maintenance fee.

Therefore, the screening of "Mythology" provided Fan Wubing with an opportunity that both parties could accept to be compatible with each other, and the matter was resolved smoothly. He made a mutually beneficial suggestion, that is, someone from the Air Force will work with the former Ukrainian pilots. Familiar with the technical performance and operating procedures of the An-124 large-scale strategic transport aircraft, so as to train the pilots of domestic large-scale strategic transport aircraft as soon as possible.

This solves Fan Wubing's most troublesome problem. At least the pilots provided by the military are much more reliable than those Ukrainian pilots. At least they are more firm in their political stance. At least they will not let the plane go away. .

Before Panshi Airport was built, it was impossible for Fan Wubing to buy many planes to operate, but the plan to train pilots had to start ahead of time, and the quality of fighter pilots was high. But the age of retiring is relatively young, and it is a pity that these people are left in place. It is more than enough for them to fly civil aviation, so Fan Wubing considered obtaining some retired pilots from the military to build his own civil aviation base, but unfortunately this also involves some other problems. Such as safety factors, confidentiality factors, and many other factors. For example, many pilots are state cadres after retiring from the military and transferred to local party leaders. They are unwilling to work hard in civil aviation, let alone private aviation. company.

If Fan Wubing wanted to train his own pilots, he had no choice but to directly recruit students from universities, and then entrust foreign flight schools for training. After all, the domestic rules are too big and there are many obstacles. Fan Wubing's face is not always unimpeded wherever he goes.

Meanwhile, Fan Wubing also had an in-depth exchange with Fan Ting on the development of pFans club.

In the business world in 1992, something happened that shocked the Chinese world. On August 18, Wang An Computer Company declared bankruptcy.

Wang An Computer Company can be said to be the most successful example of Chinese-Americans. At that time, Wang An went to the United States and sold the patent rights of his memory magnetic core. With the proceeds of US$500,000, he founded Wang An Laboratory in Boston.

1955. He formally established Wang An Computer Company. In 1964, the desktop computer was introduced. Three years later the company went public, in 1976. Wang An launched a new type of electronic word processor. Eight years later, the company's annual revenue was $2.1 billion, with a profit of $210 million.

But five years later, Wang An Company announced debt restructuring due to its inability to pay 200 million U.S. dollars in arrears, and the company lost 400 million U.S. dollars in the same year. A year later, An Wang died of cancer, and the company lost $700 million. Another year later, that is, on August 18 this year, Wang An Company declared bankruptcy.

Wang An's foresight and sagacity have enabled him to obtain extraordinary achievements and honors. The company employs more than 30,000 people at most, with an annual turnover of three billion U.S. dollars. The hall, as famous as Edison and other Ming masters, was awarded the US Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Fan Wubing shook his head and said, "It's a pity. Back then, it was a big company with the ambition to compete with IBM. It's only been a few years? What a pity."

Fan Ting flipped through various materials about the United States on the table, and asked curiously, "You are a busy person now, and you can talk to the chief designer, so you came here to tell me these things, could it be that there is nothing wrong with you?" The reason?"

"Of course it's not because of indifference." Fan Wubing nodded, "The family-style management model is no longer able to meet the requirements of the development of the times. We need to introduce a large number of talents, especially management talents. In fact, it is not advisable to do it yourself. Our purpose of making money is to live a better life, not to torture ourselves and tie ourselves to the company to suffer.”

Fan Ting also noticed the news of the bankruptcy of Wang An Company. After all, Wang An Computer Company has always been an example of the success of the Chinese in the United States. His sudden collapse is like a thunderstorm, which brings people a lot of reflection.

The first reason for the decline of Wang An Computer Company is improper employment. It is understandable for Wang An to use his son as the president of the company, but the key point is that his son is almost illiterate in the management of the company. This kind of management failed to grasp the key issues when the company was on the verge of financial crisis, which made the company lose the chance to recover from the defeat.

At the same time, because Wang An reused mediocre talents, he hurt the hearts of several generals in the company, and they left the branch one after another, which made Wang An lose his right-hand man. The company's management personnel need to have excellent skills. The classical boss-management approach can no longer meet the needs of the modern market, unless the boss is an expert who understands management and operation.

The second reason for the decline of Wang An Computer Company is that it is out of market demand. Wang An is outstanding as a scientist, but he is incompetent as an entrepreneur. Due to his erroneous prediction of the market, he did not see the huge potential of the personal computer market, and could not develop new products in time to keep up with the pace of market changes. As a result, Being eliminated by the market is also the fatal reason for the decline of Wang An Company.

"What are your plans?" Fan Ting asked Fan Wubing.

For her younger brother, Fan Ting is more confident. After all, Fan Wubing has never seemed to have made a mistake on a business issue. Every time point of the choice is just right, and he just stepped on the place with the largest profit ratio. , which made Fan Ting wonder if he was the reincarnation of the God of Wealth?

"The personal computer market has only just emerged. A general agent like pFans can probably live a good life for ten years, but after ten years, we can't continue to live in this good situation of monopolizing sales resources. Therefore, we need to transform now and plan ahead." Fan Wubing said to Fan Ting.

"Specifically, do you have any plans?" Fan Ting agreed with this. Even now, some people are jealous of the resources monopolized by the pFans Club. After all, the annual income of hundreds of millions, and the company The small number of employees will make people feel that this profit comes too easily.

Even the people in charge of the company's provincial branches were a little ready to move. If the head office hadn't been too strong after Fan Wubing's return, they would have established themselves about a year ago.

Now, although Fan Ting, with the support of Fan Wubing, has replaced the heads of some branches and taken back some of the power of the management, but no one can guarantee that there will still be people who want to engage in hilltopism and poach the head office. corner.

"The bankruptcy of Wang An Company has brought us a good opportunity to attract talents." Fan Wubing was still lamenting the bankruptcy of Wang An Company just now, but now his tone suddenly changed, as if he saw the hungry wolf of the little sheep , both eyes are green.

"You man, taking advantage of the fire to rob—" Fan Ting looked at her brother's salivating expression, and really didn't know what to say.

"Money touches people's hearts. This is inevitable. What's more, the current global economic situation is not very good. If you want to find talents, this is the season with the lowest cost. Once the economy recovers, it will not be easy to hire cheap employees. Yes." Fan Wubing replied with a smile, "I'm going to find more storage technology researchers from the United States to do research in this field. Wang An Company is a good choice, after all, they used to develop in this direction. I believe that the technical reserves must be good, otherwise IBM would not be able to regard him as a partner."

"The sales of computers are not very good. How did you think of that thing?" Fan Ting was stunned by Fan Wubing's decision. Although computers must be inseparable from memory, they are specialized in research on memory technology. , is the risk greater?

After all, Fan Ting, who sells computers every day, believes that no matter whether it is a floppy disk or a CD, these storage capacities are enough for the current personal computers, right?

A floppy disk can store hundreds of thousands of words, do we need a larger storage device? Fan Ting did not experience the era of Internet information explosion, so naturally she couldn't understand Fan Wubing's optimism about storage technology research.

You must know that the book "City" at the starting point can barely fit on a dozen five-inch floppy disks, not to mention how much hard disk space the small movies and h-games that spread everywhere need to occupy in the computer.

It is time to study our own storage technology and get out large-capacity hard drives and USB flash drives earlier.
