“At Blue Star, no matter what technology or product it is, it is inseparable from cost control. The key to determining whether we are willing to continue to develop a technology is actually the cost issue, that is, the amount of funds invested.
The investment funds can be divided into two parts, R&D funds and production funds. R&D funds are the funds consumed to experiment with new production processes and new products, while production funds are the procurement of raw materials, production line maintenance, and production staff wages and benefits after the production line is finalized. Composed of three parts.
But now many people seem to lump all investment funds together. When pricing products, they must allocate R&D funds equally. Even if the production cost is low, the price of new products will be very high. "
Guo Xiaopeng probably understands what Chen Yi means. Now that Chen Yi has developed a series of new technologies, the research and development costs are indeed very high. However, once the production line is finalized, the production cost will be lower than that of traditional similar products, so Chen Yi has already set the price. Be mentally prepared that you won't be able to get your money back for a long time.
More than 30 billion dollars have been invested in the research and development of the organic polymer material industry chain, and the pricing is one-quarter to one-fifth lower than similar metal materials. If an outside asset appraisal investigator sees this data, It is estimated that Xijianlian's organic polymer materials industry will be directly rated as a junk asset.
But the real situation is that it only took less than two years for XJianlian to make Chen Yi's money back.
Because the average gross profit margin of various new building materials has reached 25.6%, the average net profit margin of the domestic steel industry is about 10% due to iron ore pricing, and overseas it is about 13%.
In this case, Western Construction Alliance has directly opened up a new territory in the mainland building materials market, and it is still in a state of complete monopoly.
In the same way, the same is true for hydroponic farms, carbon dioxide supercritical power generation, and hot dry rock power generation, which are rated as "technologically immature, high-cost, and high-risk" by major external evaluation agencies.
In response to this, Guo Xiaopeng just shrugged: "This is normal. After all, not everyone can print money like you. All money is blown by strong winds, so when pricing new products, you can just do it like this." Calculate production costs and ignore R&D costs.
Ordinary companies would have gone bankrupt long ago if you did what you did. "
Chen Yi could not deny this, "Yes, every time the price drops a little bit, the payback period will continue to extend for a period of time, and the probability of sudden accidents will also increase. Everyone comes out to make money. , who would do this kind of business that seems to be high risk and low return?
Those large consortiums that can afford it are not interested in this kind of behavior, and small factories with weak risk resistance are afraid to do this, so no one is moving to innovate technology. Most people only think about new products when they first appear. The market competitiveness of a product is strong or not, not whether its production cost is high or low. "
"You haven't answered my question yet. Now we have truly converted plant fiber into starch, with a conversion ratio of nearly three to one.
Moreover, Professor Wu has continued to differentiate into various types of progeny strains to produce various components of crude oil. What do you decide to do next? "Guo Xiaopeng directly ignored the topic raised by Chen Yi and returned to the original question.
"Go to the countryside to promote it. Anyway, you can make much more money selling oil than selling food, right?"
"Okay, then I'll go find the man with three barrels of oil right away."
. . .
Not long after, a group of people from Three Barrels of Oil looked at the news that could shake the foundation of the US dollar with Buddhist expressions. The thinking of this group of people was actually very simple.
After steel, that monster is going to extend his clutches to oil again. . .
So a group of people with three barrels of oil also started to save themselves with a lie-down attitude.
In February 1998, the entire three barrels of oil and major oilfields were filled with excitement, because this month many units received a lot of side jobs that had nothing to do with oil drilling, and the second party, Western Construction Union, was very generous with the money and signed the contract. The money will be deposited directly into your account after the contract is signed.
The geological exploration unit was required to continue to conduct detailed geological surveys on the strata below 3,000 meters in the nine western provinces based on previous bottom-up surveys.
The first batch of projects are carried out in the mountainous areas of Guizhou and neighboring provinces. It is planned to drill 563 positioning wells and 8,000 geothermal wells in the area within one year, with a depth of at least 3,500 meters, and a budget of 50 billion RMB.
As soon as they heard about this scale and depth, everyone became excited. This is a big business. Three Barrel Oil decided to start reducing its share of domestic oil production this year.
So batches of drilling equipment and workers moved into the western mountainous area.
For a time, the entire mountainous area turned into a rumbling construction site, and a large number of wild animals were frightened and fled in all directions. After using the high-power particle detector newly produced by Xingke Instruments last year to detect landmark outcrops and make relevant plans, the workers operated The drilling equipment begins drilling.
Therefore, after positioning wells were opened in the mountainous areas of Guizhou Province, a large number of core samples were quickly sent to various geological universities and research institutes for analysis.
At the same time, the steel companies that were excitedly dismantling the furnaces received orders for a large number of seamless steel pipes for three barrels of oil, requiring stainless steel seamless steel pipes that can work in an environment of five kilometers underground. The first batch is four million tons. And three barrels of oil means that we will order more next year.
Stimulated by this big business, major steel plants began to increase horsepower production. At the same time, Xinghuan Technology Group also began to lead major mainland metal equipment suppliers to order a batch of arc smelting equipment, because those steel plants There are not enough furnaces made of special steel, so we have to place additional orders.
There are also a large number of orders for more types of drilling equipment, supercritical carbon dioxide containers, generator sets, waste gas and liquid purification equipment, etc., which directly stimulated the rapid innovation of China's steel and machinery equipment manufacturing industry.
At this time, Xijianlian also took the opportunity to accelerate the integration of the metal materials and non-metal materials industries. A series of alloy ceramics, alloy glass, microcrystalline materials, and amorphous materials began to flow into the market.
This has also increased the integration of material production and processing companies that were already implementing the Regulations. In particular, those processing companies have begun to eliminate low-end equipment and convert all of them into high-end equipment. Once the materials are available, their processing capabilities must keep up.
According to statistics, the four major banks and Worldwide Bank have lent more than RMB 1 trillion in loans this time. However, everyone is very calm about this. Because of the yellow diamond, the electricity bill was saved by RMB 3 in 1997. Trillions are more than enough to fill this hole. Now people are not afraid of spending money and even want to take the initiative to spread money.
After all, such an astronomical amount of banknotes is equivalent to a thorn in the road, and it must be quickly circulated in the market to generate greater value.
At this time, the low-end metal market collapsed, but production capacity increased instead of falling, but it was only used as a raw material for deep processing.
In the building materials market, steel was completely replaced by organic polymer materials. All buyers felt that the prices of all building materials fell by almost one-fifth overnight, while suppliers only said that there had been a breakthrough in related technologies.
Everyone had a question mark on their foreheads, and the building materials section of the enterprise community became lively for a while. Everyone felt that something was wrong, as if steel had been completely abandoned overnight.
