Baiyue Cave Master

Wang Yuanchao calculated carefully and asked:

"Engineer Zhan, that is to say, a set of equipment for producing red bricks costs about 18 yuan.

So may I ask what is the daily output of such a set of equipment? "

Zhan Jiaqin ate a piece of sweet and sour pork, which was so delicious that her eyes lit up. After hearing what Wang Yuanchao said, she thought for a moment and said:

"A set of brick-making equipment can produce about 30,000 bricks a day, based on an eight-hour operation."

"That is to say, according to the brick output rate of the 36 brick kilns,

We need three sets of brick-making equipment to meet the demand, right?"

“That’s true in theory, but in reality you can’t just produce red bricks, you also have to produce tiles, right?

In other words, if you want to build a red brick factory with 36 cave dwellings,

It requires three sets of equipment for producing bricks and one set for producing tiles, plus transportation equipment for bricks and tiles.

The estimated cost of building the factory in the early stages is about 100 million yuan. The specific amount depends on the quantity of transportation equipment you purchase.”

Wang Yuanchao frowned when he heard the price, but he didn't find it hard to accept.

Instead, he continued to ask:

“Engineer Zhan, do you know how much the production cost of red bricks and tiles will be after the factory is built?

And what is the price of red bricks and tiles now? "

Zhan Jiaqin thought for a while and said:

"The last time I went to the Municipal Building Materials Factory to repair their equipment, I heard their Director Hu say,

It seems that the production cost of red bricks, including the wages of workers, is about 4 cents per brick, and the cost of tiles is a little higher, about 6 cents.

In fact, after the red brick factory was built, the biggest production cost came from labor.

Other expenses include electricity, coal, wood chips for ignition, labor protection supplies, etc. When spread out evenly, coal costs a little more, but when taken as a whole, the production cost is very low.

The current price of red bricks is about 1.3-1.5 cents per piece.

Tiles are a bit more expensive, about 3 cents a piece.”

“Why is the price of red bricks still fluctuating?”

"Hey, brother Yuan Chao, you don't understand this. A factory or mine is not just about production. Some companies will make some concessions when purchasing from you. This is human nature."

Wang Yuanchao slapped his mouth with sudden enlightenment, thinking that he had asked a stupid question, which was really stupid.

I am really confused by the current unified purchase and marketing policy.

In the past, there were so many different marketing strategies used by various companies. There was nothing that could not be done, only things that could not be imagined.

Wang Yuanchao laughed quickly and stood up to toast everyone.

Then, he discussed the details of the red brick factory with Zhan Jiaqin in detail.

Finally, Wang Yuanchao finally filled out his form.

To build a red brick factory, you need to prepare the following things:

1. Site: Suitable land for factory construction, with enough space to build factory buildings and store raw materials, etc., this is no problem.

2. Raw materials: a large amount of clay, which is the main raw material for making red bricks, there is no problem with this.

3. Brick-making equipment: including crushers, conveyor belts, mixers, brick-making machines, kilns and other equipment. The total cost is about 92 yuan.

4. Transportation: Vehicles used to transport raw materials and finished bricks. This depends on the quantity and is estimated to be around 8 yuan.

5. Workers: Workers with relevant skills, such as equipment operators, maintenance personnel, etc., this machinery factory can send technicians to teach.

6. Funds: Sufficient funds to purchase equipment, pay workers' wages, maintain daily operations, etc. This requires the brigade to reserve half a year of operating funds.

7. Related procedures: various procedures and certificates required for factory construction, which need to be handled by the brigade.

8. Water and electricity facilities: Ensure the supply of water and electricity to meet production needs. The Hongqi Brigade already has electricity, so this is not a big problem.

Moreover, the red brick factory has a very high gross profit. Assuming a brick costs 1.3 cents and a cost of 4 cents, the gross profit of a brick is 9 cents.

9 red bricks and 1 tiles are produced per day, with a daily output value of up to 14700 yuan and a gross profit of up to 10500 yuan.

Excluding expenses on operations, transportation, employee benefits, losses, etc., the daily net profit is also very considerable.

According to the investment of the entire red brick factory, as long as the production and sales departments are disconnected and all the products can be sold, the one million yuan invested in building the factory can be recovered within a year.

After sorting out these data clearly, Wang Yuanchao was completely confident in the construction of the red brick factory.

Next, Wang Yuanchao needs to design some barriers to prevent higher-level authorities from intervening, and then he can discuss with the team leader how to implement the issue.

However, given the climate in Northeast China, no matter how anxious Wang Yuanchao is, it will take until April next year to truly push for implementation.

"Come on, come on, Engineer Zhan. If you don't get drunk, it's the same as not drinking at all. Come on, I'll toast you and thank you for your advice today.

This wine, like our feelings, is getting stronger and stronger!"

"Haha, brother Yuan Chao, you are too polite.

After all, if you really want to build a red brick factory, it will also help our machinery factory's business.

I should be the one toasting you. Come on, let's drink this glass of wine. You have one and I have one, too."

"Haha, cheers."

Wang Yuanchao felt that today's meal was very meaningful. It was like he sorted out all the machinery and production data needed to build the red brick factory at one time.

Next, we just need to sort out the data, come up with a prospect analysis and overall plan for building a red brick factory, and then wait for the result of the dispute between the old and new members of the Red Flag Brigade.

After all, Wang Yuanchao could not participate in the power struggle, communication, coordination, and interest exchange among the cadres in the brigade.

On the way back, the snow that had just stopped started to fall heavily again.

Chen Bin drove the car, struggling forward in the thick snow.

The wheels may sink into the snow from time to time, making a "crunching" sound.

Snowflakes kept hitting the windshield, blurring the vision. The jeep's wipers were turned on and scraped quickly to keep the glass clear.

The road surface also began to become slippery. Chen Bin was driving the car, controlling the speed and direction extremely carefully for fear of skidding or losing control.

Wang Yuanchao sat in the car with trepidation, seeing the branches on the roadside bent by the snow and the world covered in silver, as if he had entered an ice and snow fairy tale.

But he was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery. Fortunately, Chen Bin's driving skills were great. Although the road was not easy, he still sent Wang Yuanchao home safely.

"Brother Binzi, it's snowing so heavily today. Rest at my house for a night before going back. I'll make a big goose stew in an iron pot tonight, and we can drink together."

Chen Bin turned the car around quickly and said:

"It's not possible today. The car has been parked here overnight and it will be difficult to start tomorrow.

I'd better return the car first.

We brothers can drink together anytime, there is no need to rush."

"Well, the snow is getting heavier, so you have to be careful on the road."

"Hey, don't worry, I'm an experienced driver."
