Chapter 248
However, Renault does not tease the little girl''s skin, but the restless little girl''s skin takes the initiative to attack.
"Dear president, may I ask you a few questions
Facing this white face and a pair of big eyes, Renault sighed helplessly. He wanted to say "no".
But as soon as he saw Evans beside him, he couldn''t bear to refuse, because Rita''s "problems" mostly came from Roy''s instructions. Even for the sake of the box of ginnals, he couldn''t refuse directly.
Short hands.
Although this is a clear deal, there is no question of who owes whom, and I can''t help it.
Ah, my Lord is kind.
"Miss Alita, I''d be very happy to answer your question." Renault said with a smile.
Rita smiles and starts talking.
"I heard from Uncle Evans that the idea of establishing a freight company comes from your genius. But I have done some calculations and found that even if you can monopolize the freight transportation of the whole starfish city port, the annual revenue will not exceed 1500 guineas."
"In addition, in the storm season, if we go to explore the local freight market, the number of local workshops is limited, and the market capacity is not large. It is estimated that the annual revenue is only 500 jinnals at most."
"That is to say, the annual income is only 2000 guineas."
"But it''s just turnover, and costs have to be removed."
"To monopolize the transportation of starfish City, we need at least 20 magic forklifts and 5 magic slings. The cost of this piece is as high as 8000 jinnals. According to the service life of 10 years, the average annual depreciation cost is 800 jinnals."
"Considering that each machine consumes 10 pieces of magic stone each year, the energy cost is 250 pieces of magic stone, and the annual equipment cost alone is 1050 pieces of magic stone."
"In addition, in order to maintain a freight company, in addition to more than 50 workers operating machinery, it also needs a group of people to maintain customer relations. This part needs at least more than 20 people. According to the average monthly salary of 40 silver nals, the expenditure on human resources is close to 400 gold nals."
"The final cost is 1550 guineas, including 100 other miscellaneous expenses."
The rest of the carriage was stunned.
Her words were quick and quick. After that, her breath became a little short. Her bulging chest kept undulating. But through the thick coat, others could only imagine the beautiful scenery under the coat in their minds.
Even Renault admires this beautiful girl. She is really a genius from a business family. She actually calculates the revenue and expenditure clearly, and has good reasons and is convincing.
After breathing for a while, Alita began to make her final summary.
"The net profit of freight transport companies is 450 jinnals, with an average annual rate of return of only 5.5%. Compared with the rate of return of other industries, this figure is insignificant."
"I also heard that the president once said," the freight industry is a very promising industry. "Alita would like to ask you to point out whether my calculation method is wrong?"
At this point, Alita''s eyes were fixed on Renault.
This is a proud girl.
Alita keeps saying "guidance", but her eyes are clearly suspicious, and there is a trace of obvious unconventional. It is obvious that Evans''s praise for Renault in her words has inspired her to be competitive.
Evans is also very concerned about this issue, because Renault can see a little nervous from his face.
Renault immediately thought of the reason.
Most of it was because this guy invested in the freight company on impulse yesterday. After he went home and finished the investigation, he found that the profit margin was not high, so he regretted it. But he didn''t dare to quit. In a hurry, he asked Alita to try it out.
What a cunning old man.
Reynolds is somewhat impressed. Even though most of them are stupid and plain citizens, there are many elites in the woodlouse. Evans and Eli are two of them. The general statements are not enough to flicker them.
, however, the so-called "elite", compared to woodlouse, the eyes of these elites are also limited by the times. They can only see the longer term.
But Renault can.
so the two people in front of him are still woodlouse, the bigger woodlouse. Is it not woodlouse?
Renault chuckled and Shi Shiran said:
"miss Alita, there is no problem with your calculation method, but you may have overlooked the key point. The market scale of the freight industry is not invariable, it is constantly expanding."
"Due to the limitation of storm season, the current ocean shipping only lasts half a year, and the operation time of the port is only half a year, but mankind will conquer the storm season one day. At any moment, you will see sailing ships passing through all corners of the ocean.""In other words, in the future, the port freight revenue will at least double to 3000 jinnals, or even more. In my personal opinion, it is likely to reach 5000 jinnals within five years."
"The presence of Haichao chamber of Commerce here is a clear proof of that, isn''t it?"
Then Evans asked excitedly:
"Sir, are you willing to transfer the technology of sailing in storm season?"
Everyone knows that this is a great epoch-making technology, and the benefits involved behind it are amazing. As long as any chamber of commerce obtains this technology, its annual earnings will be doubled.
It''s not one time, two times, but ten times, a hundred times, even a thousand times!
No one expects the Haichao chamber of Commerce to sell.
The reason is very simple. They are not fools. They can monopolize half of the world''s shipping. Why share it with others?
Do you think you have too much money?
But from Renault''s words, Evans saw a glimmer of hope.
If one day Haichao chamber of commerce is willing to transfer its technology, the red reef chamber of Commerce, which has a closer relationship with Haichao chamber of Commerce, will surely get a share, and at that time, our chamber of Commerce will also reap countless kinnards.
Renault nodded and said:
"although it''s not now, I have a general plan. In the next ten years, we will make a limited transfer."
Evans giggled.
The meaning of this sentence is too obvious. Of course, the so-called "limitation" is only limited to the partners closest to Haichao chamber of Commerce. There is no doubt that the red reef chamber of Commerce, which was the first group to join, also belongs to this group.
In addition, this sentence has another meaning: within 10 years, Haichao chamber of Commerce will develop into a giant, an unprecedentedly terrible beast, and will gradually spread its technology only after it has fully established its leading edge.
At this moment, he deeply felt that he was too wise to take the initiative to hold the tide.
Mr. President, you''ve even given me ten years. It''s not a long time. Evans can afford to wait.
After understanding this, Evans secretly determined to work harder and harder to hold the president''s thigh, and try to please him more attentively. But this is not enough. It''s better to send Rita to the president''s bed.
Thinking of this, he unconsciously glanced at his niece''s pretty face and began to calculate in his heart.
On the other side, after hearing Renault''s words, Alita''s "arrogance" instantly lowered a bit, and there was a daze in her eyes.
But Renault has not finished.
"I expect that in the next few decades, the scale of land freight transportation will also expand dramatically, and both the transportation speed and the carrying capacity will be increased by 10 times or 100 times."
"Correspondingly, the revenue of land freight will also increase by leaps and bounds. I think the revenue of starfish City alone can easily exceed 1000 jinnals."
After hearing this, Alita was surprised and blurted out a series of words.
"It''s impossible!"
"How can the carriage speed be increased 10 times? The road conditions outside the city are so bad that the carriage can''t go faster at all. "
"If the carrying capacity is increased by 10 times, the load of the carriage will definitely exceed the limit, which will cause the wheels to be easily damaged. I''m afraid that several wheels will be damaged in a single transport. Stopping to repair the carriage will consume more than half of the transport time."
Renault quietly listened to her retort and asked with a smile:
"miss Alita, you are right. Nowadays, land transportation mainly relies on carriage, which is inefficient and costly."
"However, with the progress of the times and the continuous development of technology, we will not rely on carriage transportation forever."
With her eyes wide open, Alita asked:
"do you mean there will be vehicles faster than carriages in the future?"
Renault gave her a faint look and said:
"no, it has already appeared!"
As a qualified supporter, Goodall took the time to put in two words.
"Miss Alita, you may not know that your Excellency the president has invented a transport vehicle called magic tractor. Its maximum speed is two times faster than that of a carriage."
"In Haichao chamber of Commerce, it has been put into use. It takes more than 16 kilometers to transport goods from the warehouse to the wharf. Magic tractor only takes half an hour."
"It also has great power. It can easily drag two heavy-duty trailers full of goods. One magic tractor can transport more than 40 tons of goods at a time. Our chamber of Commerce has four tractors, which can transport more than 160 tons of goods at a time."
Then Goodall raised his voice, full of pride.
"Magic tractor fleet only ran 2 times, and transported hundreds of tons of goods from the warehouse to the wharf!"
In response to him were two completely dull faces.
After regaining herself, Alita lowered her head, her white face turned into a red cloth, and the ups and downs of her chest became more obvious.At the same time, out of some strange psychology, she forbeared the heat on her face and quietly looked at Renault with the corner of her eyes, hoping to see Renault''s reaction.
However, to her disappointment, instead of looking at himself, he turned to look out of the window.
Rita suddenly became very unhappy.
Next to her, Evans laughed because he knew he was right again.
Follow the steps of the president, you will never be wrong!
