Revisiting Future Path

012 Brothers Ming Settles

Qi Lirui opened the box and was stunned when she saw Nokia3610. The quick key verification was not a model but a real phone. Her eyes widened in surprise: "Is this true?"

Ginkgo didn't know why: "What's really?"

Qi Lirui clutched the blue Nokia 3610 and said emotionally: "The real phone, the real Nokia 3610. "I have my opinion", the advertisements are overwhelming. After the high school entrance exam, I begged my dad to buy me the mobile phone. This, hate my dad who said I don’t need a mobile phone, so he only buys me a PHS."

Ginkgo stared suspiciously at Nokia3610: "How much is this thing?"

Qi Lixin: "The price is 2250 yuan in a mobile phone store."

Ginguo was taken aback: "So expensive!"

Wei Dongsheng's monthly living expenses are 150 yuan, and Ginguo's monthly living expenses are 120 yuan. A Nokia 3610 is enough for Ginguo and Wei Dong to live for eight months.

Ginguo turned to Wei Dongsheng: "Where did you get your cell phone?"

The game studio copied the equipment profit chain and then made money, earning half-black and gray banknotes. If you told Ginguo to listen to it, she would definitely have nightmares every day and night. Wei Dongsheng lied to her and deceived her: "Tell you, I made a lot of money by reselling flowers and greeting cards on Teacher's Day, and reselling melons, oranges and apples on Mid-Autumn Festival."

Ginguo didn't believe it: "Nonsense, this is a 2,250 yuan mobile phone. How much money can you make by reselling greeting cards? Don't forget, when I was in junior high school, I sold greeting cards for you."

Wei Dongsheng insisted on his white lie: "How many people are in our junior high school? How many people are in Wu Ping No. 1. Wu Ping No. 1 high school has 1,400 students in each grade. With the repetition class of high school, there are almost 5,000 students. The average person Earn him a dollar, which is five thousand yuan in profit."

Wei Dongsheng's explanation surprised Qi Lirui covering her mouth: "Oh my God, you made five thousand yuan by reselling greeting cards?"

Ginguo participated in the resale of greeting cards during Wei Dongsheng's junior high school, and knew that the resale business of greeting cards would never be possible for each student in the school. Bai Guo didn't believe Wei Dongsheng's explanation, but he thought that Wei Dongsheng had a reason not to say it. He did not continue to ask questions, and silently accepted the "expensive" Nokia 3610. Ginguo had never touched a mobile phone before, and could not call or check text messages. It happened that Qi Lirui was so good a teacher, she threw her MP3 to Su Yuanrong, and went to Ginguo to teach her how to use a mobile phone.

Ginguo wanted to understand Wei Dongsheng in her own way, and took the trouble to ask Qi Lirui, even asking in detail about the difference between mobile phones and PHS. However, Qi Lirui is half a bottle of water. The limited knowledge comes from TV commercials or hearsays: "The mobile phone is the mobile phone, and the PHS is the PHS. The two are not the same thing."

Wei Dongsheng examines the three girls with adult thinking. Qi Lirui, who frequently shows superiority, is rather childish and innocent. She patiently helped her to add and explain: "The official name of PHS is called wireless local phone. It first connects to the local telephone network wirelessly, and then Interact with the outside world. The disadvantage of PHS lies in its communication basis, that is, the limited range of PHS base stations, which limits the distance between the communication base station and the mobile phone terminal, resulting in extremely poor signal for PHS in the wild. Take a PHS and stand in the wind and rain , Left hand for right hand, right hand for left hand, still can't get through, it is this kind of depression."

Qi Lirui looked at Wei Dongsheng in surprise: "Do you still know this?"

Wei Dongsheng smiled back: "I know a little bit."

Although Wei Dongsheng's business was limited to the narrow range of mobile games when he started his business, as a team leader, his eyes must not be so narrow. Looking back at the development history of the mobile phone industry, it is Wei Dongsheng's basic work to guess the future development trend of mobile phones. Just like the MP3 topic mentioned by Qi Lixin before, Wei Dongsheng did forget about MP3 products, but he had the impression of music phones that eliminated MP3 in his mind. Wei Dongsheng remembered clearly that MP3 players were integrated into the music phone concept of mobile phones, which suddenly became the trend of the times in 2005. Prior to this, although the Samsung SGH-M188 launched in October 2000 has tried to integrate MP3 players, it has not really activated the market for music phones. Qi Lirui’s dream of listening to songs with PHS is probably just her hearsay.

Qi Lirui's sense of superiority comes faster and goes faster.

Qi Lirui begged for Nokia 3610, which he could not get throughout the summer, and was given to Ginguo by Wei Dongsheng. What's more terrifying is that the two mobile phones of 4,500 yuan were all made by Wei Dongsheng selling flowers and greeting cards. Qi Lirui is simply jealous of Ginkgo, such a boyfriend, I want it too. A dozen is not too much. Qi Lirui then looked at Wei Dongsheng again, her eyes oozing faint green, although it was impossible to dig the foot of the wall in front of Ginkgo, she tapped and asked if there were any male students as good as Wei Dongsheng.

With a mobile phone, the atmosphere became harmonious, and Wei Dongsheng accompanied Ginguo to play leisurely for two days and one night in Panyang City. When parting, Bai Guo reluctantly took it to the bus station, straightened Wei Dongsheng’s collar, and suddenly turned over the old account: "Friday night, if you don’t reply to my message, you are definitely not going to the toilet, but playing games, right? ?"

Wei Dongsheng knew Ginkgo's character, and explained in harmony: "I didn't play games."

Ginguo clung to it and said, "That's definitely not going to the toilet. You weren't like this before."

Wei Dongsheng was thinking about sticking to his own opinion or thinking of another strategy. Ginguo suddenly let it go: "Forget it, I believe you. It's like buying a mobile phone. There must be a reason not to say it. However, games are particularly addictive. There are a lot of male students in our class. They play crazy and skip class every day. You can’t do this. Promise me, don’t play games. If you want to play, wait until you have time for college.”

Wei Dongsheng happily agreed: "Okay."

Ginguo: "Well, get in the car, and then I will delay my late self-study."

Waved goodbye to Ginkgo through the bus glass window. On the evening of September 22, 2002, Wei Dongsheng rushed back to the Internet cafe game studio and walked towards Huo Yongshan: "Nothing, right?"

Huo Yongshan brought two business lists: "There are minor problems in bank transfers. Some places have suspended inter-provincial transfers on weekends or Sundays. Many intentional contracts cannot be converted into actual remittances. However, the amount received yesterday was 101,000. The amount received is 107,000, and the absolute number is higher than Saturday."

Wei Dongsheng was slightly surprised: "I know the shortcomings of bank transfers. I thought that the amount of money received in these two days would increase in the opposite direction. Unexpectedly, it would maintain a positive growth on Sunday. Great, terrific, what you have done in these two days is beyond me. It’s a good idea. By the way, this mobile phone is for you. Take it with you in the future and you can contact you in time whenever you go."

Huo Yongshan took the phone and praised: "This phone is pretty cool."

Wei Dongsheng: "Don't refuse."

Huo Yongshan laughed and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely accept it."

Unlike Ginguo's hesitation, Huo Yongshan is very aware of the terrifying profits of the game studio. In these years, ordinary mobile phones cost only six to seven thousand yuan, and Huo Yongshan claims that his money is worth a mobile phone. Wei Dongsheng didn't regard the mobile phone as an emotional investment, and his brothers settled the accounts on the spot: "There is nothing to worry about. This mobile phone is 2,200 yuan, and the account will be deducted from your 30% dividend."

After talking for a while, Huo Yongshan suddenly remembered something and took out a bunch of keys and handed it to Wei Dongsheng: "Lao Liu, the owner of this Internet cafe, helped negotiate the house, without water grid fees and other miscellaneous items. The monthly rent is 1,200 yuan. If you have time, go and see, and if you think it’s suitable, sign a house lease contract."

Wei Dongsheng took the key: "Okay."

Wei Dongsheng had already eaten dinner with Ginguo in Panyang City in advance, and Huo Yongshan had to go looking for Shier alone. Wei Dongsheng did not stop today's work. Instead, he entered the password to activate the third plug-in, activated the backdoor to invade the legendary server, aggregated several small equipment data, and checked the two-day operation status. It is not that Wei Dongsheng suspects that Huo Yongshan is in his pocket, but that the management of a company must not just let it go. Investing in a certain industry, hiring professional managers, and then delegating power to let them work hard, while lying in bed waiting for the money to get the money, this kind of beautiful thing cannot be said to be impossible, but it is definitely one of the few strange things. The overwhelming majority of the high degree of freedom and decentralization is not the loyalty of the employees, but the employees emptied their investment and ran away.

Trusting professional managers and fully delegating power is a revolutionary optimism mistake often made by business novices.

Business is also a battlefield, and there is no room for blind optimism.

Wei Dongsheng made such a mistake in his previous life. He lost 6 million yuan in investment because of his credulity in professional managers, which indirectly induced the first business failure crisis due to the break of the capital chain.

In fact, there are many similar cases. For example, Liu Qiangdong, the head of JD.com, raised funds from his relatives when he was in college and took down a restaurant near Zhongguancun. At that time, Liu Qiangdong was naive, ideal and kind. After taking over, each employee gave a Casio watch worth more than two hundred yuan, then raised wages, improved the accommodation environment, delegated purchasing power and cashier power to employees, and went back to school. Keep reading. As a result, the restaurant was in a mess. The audit found that the buyer and the cashier had a false partnership, and the chefs and other employees were willing to consume expensive ingredients for free. Not to mention making money, Liu Qiangdong directly owed a debt. Then, Liu Qiangdong became the familiar Liu Qiangdong.

Wei Dongsheng has learned a lesson in this world, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be so optimistic.

Although the game studio can't talk about management extravagantly, Wei Dongsheng holds the source of the equipment in his hands, so he doesn't lie to them.

Wei Dongsheng recorded the total changes in the equipment data, compared each order, verified each remittance in the account book, and found that at least there was no misunderstanding on the surface.

Of course, this does not mean that the game studio is in full control. For example, the positioning of a set of equipment in a game studio has a maximum price of 3,000 yuan and a minimum price of 2,000. The player customer promised the rebate and requested the agent to reduce it to 2,200 yuan. The agent then reported to the game studio with the reserve price of 2,000, and the other 200 yuan was transferred to his private account. In this way, the agent received a 200 yuan rebate and a 100 yuan commission, which far exceeded the normal commission income. How to supervise things like this?

Wei Dongsheng does not expect everything to be perfect.

As long as the profit margin of the game studio is within the acceptable range, such lack of supervision can be gradually reduced by improving the management system. Fortunately, regardless of whether there is fraud or not, the business list that Huo Yongshan brought has met the minimum limit in Wei Dongsheng's mind.
