Renault took a silent look at Evans and said in a loud voice:

"Mr. Evans, compared with the value created by magic power machinery, in fact, their prices are not expensive at all. On the contrary, they are quite cheap..."

Hearing the word "cheap", Evans felt as if there were 100000 mammoths whistling by.

Mr President, are you teasing me?

Is 360 jinnals "pretty cheap"?

At the same time, deep self doubt welled up in his heart. Did I really have a big face?

Although Evans wanted to curse his mother, he had to bow his head under the eaves. He asked Renault for help, so his face didn''t look different.

Not only that, he pretended to be curious and said that he wanted to hear the next explanation.

Renault smiles and starts to talk.

"Take magic forklift as an example, its maximum lifting weight is 5 tons. Under normal circumstances, due to the limitation of cargo volume, the lifting cargo weight is generally about 2 tons."

"To transport 100 tons of goods to 50 meters away, a magic forklift only takes 30 minutes at most. If you use manual labor, you need to employ 30 porters in the same time."

"What if the total weight of the goods increases 10 times to 1000 tons? Can 30 porters move 1000 tons of goods in 300 minutes? "

"Of course, it''s impossible, because the transport union feels tired. Let alone five hours, seven or eight hours may not be able to handle it."

"But magic machine is different. It will never be tired. It only takes five hours to transport 1000 tons of goods by forklift."

"Another way of comparison, if you work 10 hours a day, magic forklift can transport 2000 tons of goods, but a porter can only transport 20 tons, a whole difference of 100 times!"

When Renault said this, Evans could not help nodding his head.

"Let''s calculate the labor cost again. A porter''s monthly income is generally 10 Silver nals, so the salary of 100 porters is 10 gold nals a month, and 120 gold nals a year."

"A magic forklift only needs two drivers at most. Their monthly salary is a little higher, but it will not exceed 50 silver nals. The annual expenditure is only 12 gold nals."

"In addition, magic forklift needs to consume magic stones. It costs about 10 jinnar magic stones every year, and the total annual expenditure is 22 jinnars."

"Compared with the salary of 100 porters, magic forklift can save nearly 100 jinnals a year, and you can recover the cost in four years at most."

"The service life of a forklift is more than 10 years. In the long run, not only will you not lose money, but you can also earn at least 600 jinnals."

The others were stunned.

The implication of Renault''s words is very obvious: 360 jinnals are still a loss, and labor and capital have sold 600 jinnals cheaper.

Give you the opportunity to make money, you should be too expensive, it''s really not enough!

Goodall''s face was marked by adoration.

Lord, it''s so amazing.

Obviously, it is the sky high price among the sky high prices. However, after your eloquence, it turned into "very cheap".

This It''s so dark!

However, Renault''s words are not impeccable. Hyde, who has been silent for a long time, suddenly cut in and asked straightforwardly:

"Mr President, I have a question. There is an important premise in your calculation method, that is to ensure that forklifts have so many goods to transport every day."

"But the problem is that our chamber of commerce does not have so many goods to transport. If we buy forklifts, they will be idle for at least 20 days a month. If they are in the storm season, they will be idle for a longer time..."

Hyde''s words were rather impolite, pointing out Renault''s mistake directly.

Since Renault became Lord, no one has dared to speak to him in this tone. Most people are cautious in front of him.

But he was not angry.

As an engineering dog, he still has the spirit of "not only superior, but also realistic" in his heart. He usually sees too many submissive faces. Now Hyde''s "honesty" makes him feel very fresh.

As for Hyde''s problem, in Renault''s view, it is not a problem at all.

After buying forklift, can you really only use it by yourself?

Is the whole starfish city not enough?

"Have you ever thought of setting up a freight company to provide cargo transportation services for merchant ships in the port?"

"I heard that in the busiest season, more than 100 merchant ships arrive at the port in a day. Based on this calculation, the daily cargo throughput of the port may be as high as tens of thousands of tons."

"As far as I know, those port porters charge an average of 10 copper nals for every ton of goods they carry. If the freight companies reduce their charges and charge 8 copper nals per ton, it is not difficult to seize the market.""If the freight company has more than one magic forklift and magic sling, it can quickly complete the handling work. I believe the ship owners will be very happy to hire the handling company."

"Because the shorter the unloading time, the shorter the berthing time, and the lower the berthing fee paid by the shipowner to the port."

"If it can occupy half of the share, the daily transportation volume will reach 5000 tons, the turnover will have 4 jinnals, and 120 jinnals in a month. In 3-4 months at most, the cost of a forklift will come back."

When Renault said this, the only four listeners in the room all raised their ears and breathed lightly, for fear of missing a word.

People with a little business experience can easily judge that this is definitely a very feasible business model, and the profit is quite high.

Seeing Evans and Hyde are very excited, Renault adds another fire.

"Even if the storm season comes, it doesn''t mean that the handling company has lost business. At this time, it can provide intra city freight service."

"Although the chassis of magic forklift is low, that is, the height of the body from the ground is not high, and it is not suitable for driving in the field, the road conditions inside the city are OK, and the forklift can pass through all corners of the city without obstacles."

"I suggest that the service target should be set at the major chambers of Commerce and handicraft workshops in starfish City, providing services to them in the form of monthly or even annual package."

"As long as the service provided by the freight transport company is excellent enough, the professional quality of the workers is high, the transportation is fast and good, and the transportation is on time, there is no reason why the other party does not cooperate with such a company."

Hyde looked at Renault with respect and admiration, stood up and gave a deep salute, and said:

"Dear president, your wisdom is really beyond the reach of ordinary people, and the ideas you casually put forward can never be thought of by ordinary people."

"Please allow me to set up a freight company. However, this wonderful idea should not be used for free. In return, you will get 40% of the shares."

After a pause, Hyde added:

"I''m going to personally contribute 2000 guineas. You don''t have to do anything or pay a cent."

Renault was stunned.

After pondering for a moment, he gazed at Hyde deeply and said with a smile:

"I accept your shares."

"Mr. Hyde, you have made a very right decision, because the freight industry is a very promising industry."

Evans looked at the scene for some reason. His face was a little surprised and confused. He couldn''t understand why Hyde suddenly paid so much money to set up a freight company.

However, Evans instinctively realized that this seems to be a business model with great potential.

Can a wise man like you, President, create a simple business model?

Although I can''t see through it for a moment, it''s because I''m dull, but it''s certainly right to follow the president.

Evans gritted his teeth, turned to Hyde and said:

"Mr. Hyde, I''d like to invest 1000 guineas to join your handling company."

He gave Renault another flattering smile and said:

"of course, the share ratio of your Excellency the president will not change. It is still 40%. I only need 15% of the shares."

Hyde only thought about it for a second and agreed.

"My pleasure, Mr. Evans."

On one side, Goodall and Vivian were deeply shocked again.

A handling company with an investment of 3000 jinnals, 40% of which is worth 1200 jinnals, Renault just made an idea and got such an amazing fortune.

This is the real "one word gold".

By the way, he sold 3000 jinnals of magic machinery.

Because it doesn''t cost much to set up a company, most of the money will be used to buy magic sling and magic forklift.

Ten minutes later, Renault looked at the agreement in front of him and signed his name with satisfaction.

Yes, it''s "by hand". This time, he didn''t use [read power], but rarely used handwritten words.

In this agreement, in addition to 40% of the "flame reef transportation company" shares, but also noted that Renault''s obligations, a total of two.

First, supply magic machinery according to the "market price".

Second, to provide consultation to the company when necessary.

Before signing, Renault hesitated for a while, because the real value of Article 2, or "consulting the company", is significantly greater than the value of 40% of the shares.

Is the knowledge of a passer-by worth only 1200 jinnals?

Of course not.

not to mention it, Renault''s "insight" is actually the essence of a civilization, and also a great wealth, which can not be measured by money.As long as others get a little information from this "insight", they will be able to make a fortune.

Hyde only spent 40% of the shares to successfully tie Renault to the transportation company, and he made a lot of money.

In the future development of the company, as long as we can get Renault''s advice, even just a few words, the company can also grow rapidly.

Originally, Renault thought that Evans of the red reef chamber of Commerce was more resolute and insightful of the two people present, but now it seems that this silent Haide is more farsighted.

The reason is very simple. To put it bluntly, "helping Haichao chamber of Commerce to sell things" is to rely on people for food, just to rely on people''s nose and breath. After all, the future of development is limited.

If we lose the support of Haichao chamber of commerce one day, it will not be far from closing down.

But it''s not the same to start a business on your own. It has greater potential and higher development limit. It''s not impossible for freight transport companies to become "ups" in a foreign world one day.
