Chapter 12: The beginning of the network layout

The appearance of Song Lao Liu made Wang Ai aware that it was becoming more and more difficult to implement his low-key and grand plan. Since an old man who is unreliable can feel his own situation, the vast number of cadres in the city who have mastered the magic have long assumed that the size and profitability of the Wang Aijia are at least the same. Then the flower shop's revenue can't be concealed. The only thing that only grows flowers is not obvious.
The world changes over time. Since the objective conditions change, people have to make changes in decision-making so that they can take advantage of the situation. This is the essence of Chinese philosophy. In the words of the people in the Northeast, which river is what to take off and which shoes, and in the words of the poet, there must be a road to the front of the mountain.
According to Wang Ai's estimation, with the accumulation of the paper mill itself in mid-1997, the production capacity can be doubled again, and it will double again by the end of 1997, reaching eight times when the plant was established, which is equivalent to 128 1024 paper machines. Output, a paper machine can produce up to one ton of toilet paper per day, then by the end of 1997 or early 1998, the daily output of "Love's Paper Mill" can reach 100 tons. By this standard, the capacity expansion has basically been reached. Limit it.
Not because of insufficient manpower or land, but because the toilet paper is fluffy and especially occupies transportation capacity. The farther the sales network is, the higher the cost, and the more it faces the cost advantage of local paper mills. The sales network can only be expanded up to the three eastern provinces and eastern Inner Mongolia. According to the total sales volume of 500,000 tons of tissue paper in the country in 1996, the annual output of "Ai's Paper Mill" alone reached 35,000 tons. One-fourth. The population of the three eastern provinces plus eastern Inner Mongolia together accounts for about one-tenth of the country. By 1998, Ai's paper mills would not only burst out of huge production capacity in advance and squeeze many competitors to death, but would also infiltrate the papermaking bases in Shandong and Hebei, which are also in the initial stage, in Hebei and Beijing-Tianjin. But even so, the high cost does not have the potential for further expansion.
By that time, the expansion of the paper mill's production capacity became a secondary task, and the main task was to increase the variety of products and enter other paper markets, such as napkins, coated paper for printing, yellow paper for burning paper, and more difficult newsprint, White paper, cardboard and other fields. Extending to a new market, the production capacity will be expanded once, and the paper mill will be upgraded to a "paper company", which will independently operate and manage all kinds of professional papers into three branches according to daily use, industrial use and printing use.
At the latest by the end of 1998, the number of people employed by Ai's paper mill will reach 2,500, and the area will reach about 300 acres. It will basically swallow up all the blank industrial land still in the papermaking street. You have to expand to surrounding villages. At that time, a giant monster fell into Tiexi, Liaoyang, let alone a well-informed government official, and it was impossible to hide among ordinary people.
So when Song Lao Liu talked with Wang Bin and Wang Xiu just now, Wang Ai was always wondering what to do next. It now appears that Wang Bin, who holds the title of general manager, is necessary to make a proper appearance, but still keep a low-key style, and only attend some internal conferences in the city. He still does not have newspapers and televisions, and he must suppress personal information. The speed of outward expansion continues to maintain the stable development of the enterprise. Until the end of next year's expansion of production capacity, extended to other markets, when the company passed the period of rapid development and began to accumulate power, it was time to officially start. Because at that time, the products of Ai's paper mills had spread throughout the three eastern provinces and had a strong social influence and economic influence in this city. In other words, the kittens and puppies could no longer bite, or did not dare to bite. This is the time for the small family such as the Wang family to show their faces.
More importantly, Wang Ai will participate in the college entrance examination in 1998! A blockbuster and nationally-known genius, his father set up the largest papermaking company in the three eastern provinces in two years is nothing, and his son must have his father.
At this stage, the scale of funds that Wang Ai can mobilize is already very large, and the net profit in all aspects of the cycle alone has reached millions. At the same time, various companies in the Wang family did not have loans. As soon as the paper mill was launched, the credit bureaus of various banks were staring at the door. Over the past six months, the number of staff has been constantly expanding. Every day, large trucks have been driving out and running around, and the desire of banks to lend has broken through the sky. This is an era when credit loans remain. As long as you dare to lend, I dare to put it, not to mention the flourishing enterprises like the Wang family. However, after all, the Wang family did not have much knowledge. They were inconsistent with the money owed. In addition, Wang Ai's strategic decision-making was accurate, and the rate of capital increase had already controlled the ability of the actual person at the helm of the company.
But it doesn't matter to Wang Ai, he has already focused on the computer and Internet industries. In the next two decades, the rapid development of the Internet has changed the economic life and daily life of the people. The global connectivity of the Internet has given the Internet economy almost unlimited scope for expansion. Wang Ai knows that he is incomparable to those real Internet companies, whether they are technical or visionary, but the difficulty of Chinese football that he wants to challenge is higher than BAT, so he has no time to become an Internet company giant. Wang Ai only wanted to be a qualified angel investor in the early stages of these companies when the funds were extremely tight, and invested funds to help them grow quickly, letting them fly by themselves in the later stages. To this end, it is just right to enter the computer and Internet industries.
And entering the Internet industry requires an entry point, but Wang Ai does not understand technology, so there is no potential to be an Internet company, so Wang Ai fancy Internet cafes. Starting in 1997, Internet cafes began to appear in Liaoning Province. It first appeared in the form of a "computer room". Only the local area network had no Internet, and it could only play games. It was only in 1999 that it gradually started to access the Internet. The profitability of computer rooms or Internet cafes at this stage is very scary, and the expansion rate is faster than that of paper mills. An Internet cafe with qualified management and no nuisances in all aspects can be returned two months before the new century, which means that it can double in place in two months. The computer room costs five dollars an hour, including 20 nights. A computer can bring about 70 yuan in income a day, which is 2,000 yuan a month, and 4,000 yuan in two months. It is enough to buy another computer and turn around. As for rent, electricity bills, wages, etc., you can pay back by selling instant noodles, drinks, and cigarettes.
Today, when I met Song Lao Liu, Wang Ai figured it all out. It happened that Song Lao Liu came to the door to be beaten, and the Internet cafe industry that he was going to invest in was still indispensable for such old bastards. Disturbing.
At the moment, Song Lao Liu was not standing or standing, and the little genius who was facing him finally spoke. "Lao Song, since you are so pitiful, I will not hold you accountable today. Instead, I will give you a An An steady and well paid job. As long as you do well, I will not only pay you, but also give you half of the profit. How? Interested? "
Song Laoli didn't turn his head, he asked tentatively, "What, what work?"
Wang Ai was about to say something in detail, and when the private room door opened, he whispered in a whisper: "After school at five in the afternoon next year, you will wait for me at the gate of No. 1 High School in the city, and I will tell you specifically at that time. Do n’t forget to go."
"No, no!" Song Laoliu shook his head. Just kidding, Grandma spoke, do n’t care if it ’s fake, you have to take it seriously!
