Chapter 158 Xu Liang: I also want to invest in a mask factory
"Is it shipped from Chengdu to California, USA?"
Huang Yu was somewhat conflicted. Her company's cargo planes were mainly Airbus A330-200Fs, which are medium- and long-range cargo planes and could not fly directly to California. They needed to transit through Hawaii.
Each takeoff and landing will definitely increase costs significantly!
Her company mainly does business in China, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asian countries. It doesn't have a behemoth like the A380. After all, operating costs are especially important if you want to make money.
The Airbus A330-200F has a moderate cargo capacity.
Moreover, it has the lowest operating costs among medium-sized cargo planes of the same class, and its requirements for airports are not high!
Unlike the A380, which can only take off and land at 4F airports and cannot take off and land at airports in smaller cities, thus limiting its flight routes!
The Airbus A330-200F offers the following options:
With a payload of 65 tons, it can fly 7400 kilometers!
With a payload of 70 tons, it can fly 5900 kilometers!
To deliver goods to California, the payload is limited to 65 tons. It flies to Hawaii to refuel, makes a stopover, and then flies to California.
Fuel consumption: 90 tons x 2, one-way trip: 180 tons!
You can return directly to your home country via empty return flight.
Fuel consumption: 100 tons!
Aviation kerosene costs 8000 yuan per ton, and 280 tons would cost as much as 230 million yuan per trip.
Depreciation
Landing Fee
labor costs
Maintenance fee
...
In total, that's about 3.5 million, so we need 4 million in shipping costs to guarantee a 100% profit margin.
For such ultra-long-haul routes, the Airbus A380 does indeed have lower operating costs, saving a lot of fuel per takeoff and landing!
With a cargo capacity of 100 tons, its fuel consumption is not much higher than that of the A330 with a cargo capacity of 65 tons, and at most it will not exceed 50 tons!
Only 50 tons of fuel oil (15%) will be added.
However, it carried 35 tons more cargo (35%).
There's nothing we can do about it!
╮(╯_╰)╭
Takeoff and landing consume the most fuel.
Huang Yu asked somewhat nervously, "President Jiang, how much are you willing to pay for the freight? The thing is, I don't have ultra-long-range cargo planes, so the plane has to transit through Hawaii once."
"Therefore, the fuel economy is not ideal!"
"Look..."
Jiang Feng also checked the market prices through the system and offered a very generous price: "6.8 per ton, what do you think?"
It costs twice as much as air freight!
Air freight is 3 RMB per ton, or even lower.
But they'll only let you check your luggage when they have free time!
Time is money!
Each ton of masks could cost as much as 680 million yuan, with shipping costs amounting to only 1% of the sales revenue; it's all about speed.
"6.8 RMB per ton?"
Huang Yu repeatedly confirmed this in disbelief.
At 6.8 per ton, and 65 tons, with a freight cost of 440 million, the profit margin is simply too high, with a net profit of nearly one million!
(￣ Pan￣)
Actually, she had just been calculating that she would accept 5 yuan per ton. After all, losing a little on labor costs and depreciation wouldn't matter, since she still had to pay wages, right? At least she could still make a gross profit, which was better than stopping production! Stopping production would mean a complete net loss.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Feng quoted 6.8 yuan per ton, which was completely beyond her expectations. She was instantly stunned, and her mind went blank.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, no problem, no problem!"
How many tons of goods do you need to ship?
"I'll be right there to find you..."
She was overwhelmed with emotion, and her tone was very excited.
Jiang Feng replied nonchalantly, "There are a total of three thousand tons. You'll get a few hundred tons, and you're required to get it done within 30 days!"
"Mr. Huang, you don't need to come. We'll prepare to ship the goods tomorrow. Just wait at the airport, and we can discuss the details then."
Huang Yu quickly agreed:
"Okay, no problem, Mr. Jiang, I'll be waiting for you!"
The two agreed that after ending the call, Huang Yu would immediately arrange for the cargo plane's maintenance, and the pilots would prepare.
Online, the US pandemic dominates the rankings:
US Super Flu Cases Surge
The United States is facing a shortage of ventilators.
The price of N95 masks in the United States has skyrocketed.
$3 each
$5 each
$8 each
...
Xu Liang watched as the price of face masks in the United States skyrocketed, his heart aching so much he could hardly breathe, his eyes bulging with fury, and he almost vomited blood from anger.
Why the hell would I smear Jiang Feng?
"Why?! Waaaaaahhhhhh~"
"That bastard must have made a fortune this time!"
"Blanching~"
He never expected that the super flu outbreak in the United States would be so exaggerated, and the price increase of masks was outrageous, far exceeding his imagination, by more than two or three times.
Damn it, it's already increased tenfold!
Sonofabitch
Jiang Feng has stockpiled 300 million N95 masks and regular masks, with a total investment of over 1 billion yuan and profits exceeding 10 billion yuan. Even if sold wholesale, the profits would be at least several billion yuan!
Selling face masks is freaking profitable...
(T～T)
Seeing Jiang Feng making money made him feel like dying; he was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, and he also wanted to start a mask business.
But I don't have any capital at all!
ah~
The last investment in Huanda Auto resulted in a huge loss, and the family house was also lost. My parents probably still have some savings, but it's definitely not enough to invest in a mask factory; they can't even afford a single production line!
Are we just going to watch Jiang Feng make a fortune?
I'm not having it!
Why is Jiang Feng able to make so much money?
Am I just supposed to watch the show?
"No, no, no, I have to find a way, even if it means raising money, to set up a mask production line."
Xu Liang made up his mind.
They frantically contacted relatives and friends to cooperate in building a factory.
Unfortunately, no one was willing. Xu Liang tirelessly begged and pleaded with one family after another, all of whom were willing to guarantee that he would only make a profit and not lose money. If he lost money, it would be the money he had borrowed.
Finally, someone is willing to invest 30,000 to 50,000!
At this rate, it will probably take a long time to raise enough funds to build a factory, at least a year and a half.
But Xu Liang believes the pandemic will be difficult to end.
Even if it takes a year or two to raise the money, it doesn't matter. I'm sure I can make money; it's just a matter of time.
hum~
The following day, Jiang Feng personally led a team to load 5,000 boxes, or 100 tons, of masks from the mask factory's warehouse and send them to Chengdu.
It was loaded onto eight extended trucks!
As soon as they arrived at the village entrance, they saw an old acquaintance. Song Laosan also saw Jiang Feng and his group, his face as if he had lost his parents.
"Hey, Uncle Song, how are you feeling?"
Song Laosan: "…………" (Silence)
I'll fuck your grandma's legs, fuck!
"It's alright...cough cough cough...cough cough cough..." He choked on his saliva as soon as he finished speaking and coughed continuously.
Jiang Feng couldn't help but chuckle, shaking his head and sighing softly:
"Uncle Song, you must take care of yourself!"
"I can't live without you—"
(Subtle hint)
Song Laosan forced a smile, secretly gritting his teeth. That damn bastard is just too damn wicked!
He gave a perfunctory reply and turned to leave.
Jiang Feng threw down two playing cards—
"Hey, Uncle, you lost your ID card!"
"what?"
Song Laosan patted his pockets and suddenly realized, "Why would I bring my ID card when I go out to exchange information?"
He picked up two playing cards—
King
Xiao Wang
"What does this mean? Isn't this the King and Queen? Does he mean I'm too arrogant and can't tell the difference between the King and Queen?"
Song Laosan looked completely bewildered and puzzled.
The kid next to me burst out laughing:
"The Joker, he called you a clown!"
Looking at the comical clown pattern, Song Laosan inexplicably felt like he was looking in a mirror, and his blood pressure involuntarily spiked.
Blanching
