Fenggu Nonferrous was a bit confused some time ago, and it always felt like it had transformed from a nonferrous metal processing company into a chemical company.
Last month’s revenue from selling ammonia, sulfuric acid and electrolyte accounted for nearly 30% of Fenggu Nonferrous Metal’s total revenue.
New documents have arrived in the past two days, which made the factory director who stayed behind shake his head.
It was very difficult to do, so I wrote letters and called a meeting of shareholders through the railway.
The individual ability and vision of Fenggu Nonferrous shareholders are not as good as Didion and Hackweap, but together they are not bad, at least they can distinguish good from evil.
"This document must be what the Phoenix King means."
"should be."
Although the document was issued by the municipal government, the directors also knew that the people in the municipal government were not good at it. They could not understand many of the technical aspects shown to them, so it was impossible for them to write this document.
Putting aside the municipal government, the only ones that can allow the municipal government to issue documents on its behalf are the Ministry of Industry, the Inner Palace, and the New Town Research Bureau.
The research bureau's contacts with friends are all in a commercial manner. I have never heard of asking the municipal government to issue documents to a single enterprise. Such documents are only occasionally used to summon technical workers from various factories to the manufacturing bureau and Xincheng Heavy Industry for exchanges and studies.
The Ministry of Industry has many procedures, so things will not be explained so clearly the first time.
So only the inner court was left, which was naturally directly instructed by the Phoenix King.
"Then what else is there to say? Just add a workshop according to the above regulations."
The resident factory director expressed dissent: "No, there are many workers who have objections to the production of ammonia now. Some people always get sick. If we add another one that will explode, I'm afraid something big will happen."
"What should we do?"
Everyone brainstormed and chatted for a while.
The Phoenix King's will must not be ignored. Even if it is not for making money, leaving a good impression on His Majesty will be beneficial in the future.
But there are indeed difficulties in the factory. We were still groping in the early days. There were some problems with the planning of the factory. After adding several chemical workshops, the management became very complicated. There will always be strange problems of one kind or another.
After much deliberation, there was only one solution - to build a new factory.
"Where will the money and people come from to build the new factory?" There is a new question.
The profits of Fenggu Nonferrous are not low. Although the profit margin of products sold domestically is less than 30%, it is different when it comes to takeout. Except for the export of tungsten, which is prohibited, and the sales of copper and chromium, which require approval, aluminum, tin, and manganese , lead, etc. can be sold casually. In particular, aluminum and manganese are produced using electrolysis, and the prices outside are very high.
But the high price does not mean how much money shareholders can put out. After all, companies like these require a very large amount of investment. They start products from scratch, then produce small batches to a certain production scale, and they constantly need to invest money. Go in and buy equipment, train personnel, and explore the technology. Even if you don't continue to add new equipment, it is expected that it will take a year to recover the cost.
Even with the little money everyone has saved from dividends, they can’t build a new chemical plant together.
Wherever the documents come from, we should go to whom to solve the problem... We certainly can't go directly to His Majesty, so we have to leave it to the municipal government.
If there is a shortage of money, the municipal government will help coordinate the banks. If there is a shortage of people, the municipal government will transfer studious people from the Refugee Management Bureau.
The official Obsidian Bank does not make loans, but they do make investments. This money cannot be applied for by private individuals and can only be recommended by the municipal government. The municipal government must also provide corporate or personal tax records and pass industrial assessment before the money can be obtained.
You don’t have to pay back the investment money after you get it, but you need to pay dividends every year.
It seems similar to borrowing, but the difference is still very big.
The rate of return on investment obtained from Obsidian Bank through official channels is limited to 50%. As long as the company's profit dividends to the bank reach this value, the company is allowed to redeem the shares at the original price. The exception is if the rate of return limit has not been reached within twelve years, the calculation will be based on a progressive calculation of 5% per year. For example, in the fifteenth year after the investment, at this time, 165% of the investment amount including principal and interest will be required to redeem the equity. No need to continue paying dividends to the bank.
It is not 175% but 165%, because there is a two-year interval between the start of investment and the calculation of dividends, which is very suitable for building a new factory.
The biggest difference from a loan is that the investment money has no time limit for repayment, and interest will not be calculated with rolling interest. Even if you think of redeeming it after n years, it will only cost [(n-2)×5+100]% of the money. .
It is difficult for private banks to charge less than 5% interest. For example, Hongxinzi Bank is relatively large among private banks. In order to attract deposits, they charge interest. The annual current interest rate is 1%, and the maximum fixed-term interest rate is 5%. Therefore, external loans are also limited. Interest rates need to be increased to cover deposit interest expenses.
Of course, private banks are easier to talk to. If you have a good personal relationship with Hongxinzi, you can get a loan with a similar interest rate. However, Hongxinzi’s principal is limited, and the low-interest loan amount cannot be too large.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
In short, through the municipal government, Fenggu Nonferrous Metal quickly completed various procedures such as fund preparation and operating license.
The two factories were owned by the same group of people, and it seemed that they would not look alike if they continued to use the name Fenggu. They simply took the opportunity to change their names, from Fenggu Nonferrous to Rainbow Metal and Rainbow Chemical.
The investment amount received by Caihong Chemical is 3 million, which seems to be a lot. In fact, the investment used to build a chemical plant can only be said to be somewhat helpful, accounting for only 30% of Caihong Chemical's shares.
Investment is to help enterprises develop, and there will be a certain amount of profit. It does not mean that the shareholders of Rainbow Group will have to spend 7 million, and they will not be able to come up with that much. However, to achieve the production safety requirements mentioned in the previous document, the total investment from shareholders will not be less than 4 million, not counting subsequent expansion of production capacity.
Chemical plants require a lot of corrosion-resistant pipes, containers, and heating devices, all of which cannot be calculated in terms of iron prices. A larger tank or pool can easily cost tens of thousands. After the welding technology became available, the guys at the pressure vessel factory 2. I dare to make jars worth 300,000 yuan.
Therefore, three million is actually only a dozen jars and ponds of different sizes. If you add up the pipelines within two kilometers, it is almost complete. Based on the area, it cannot cover even one hectare.
This is still the basic pipeline of existing products and several production preparation projects. They are all things that need to be built by other companies. The container heating equipment, factory buildings, and factory walls have not been taken into account. Labor costs, staff buildings, and office buildings can only be placed there. The statistics will come later.
In order to come up with enough money, the shareholders ran around and organized a large freight operation. They hauled more than 30 tons of aluminum and lead and delivered them directly to the orc fleet in Pangxun City. There was no middleman to make the difference. .
Aluminum is a material outside the Phoenix Kingdom that can only be prepared by five-star or above alchemists... There may be a few four-star alchemists who can make it, and the price is more expensive than gold. Previously, in order not to destroy the market price, they mainly used the provisions of the sales agreement to sell it. The amount of scrap scraps recovered from domestic factories is not large, which has a certain impact on the market, but the profit is still high enough.
This time, more than 20 tons of aluminum were delivered at one time. Although it was directly connected to the merchants of the Orc Empire, the price still plummeted, from the previous ten grams of gold coins to forty gold coins per kilogram.
Lead is much cheaper. Adding more than 30 tons of goods together, the capital returned is 1.2 million...the cost is less than 10%.
Rainbow Metal keeps the money needed for basic operations, plus a reserve fund of 30% of monthly expenses. The remaining funds are all withdrawn, and the inventory backlog will be minimized in the next few months.
Nearly three million people were squeezed out here, and the shareholders chipped in and brought in a local business owner from Fenggu to become a shareholder of the chemical plant. This was enough to barely build a chemical plant that could meet the new safety standards, and have Large enough reserved land for subsequent expansion.
Yes, that document contains the chemical safety standards to be implemented, as well as the concept and exploded view of the new factory building.
According to what this document says, for every person who dies from chemical poisoning around a chemical plant, the manufacturer will have to pay 100 months’ wages and have to suspend operations for rectification!
Although it has not yet been implemented, if someone is killed or disabled due to chemical production, the legal system will support the victim's claim for compensation according to this standard.
The current per capita monthly salary in Fenggu Industrial Zone is 60 yuan, which means a compensation of 6,000 yuan for 100 months. It does not seem to be much, but the document refers to "surroundings". If the surrounding areas are poisoned to death, then it will not be enough for 1200 people. Done.
Municipal staff also revealed new news that the minimum wage will be raised starting next year. If the average wage is calculated in the same proportion, if 500 people die, they will be compensated 4.5 million yuan, which will directly cost half of the chemical factory. Losing money and shutting down the factory will cause the whole factory to lose all the losses. Gold must be converted into tons, and if many people die, they will be sentenced. Who can withstand it?
The original shareholders of Fenggu Nonferrous Metals also made the painful decision to build a new factory because of the risk of losing a lot of money.
The amount of money in and out of business is tens of millions. Although the shareholders are a little bit pained to be cautious, they also feel that they are important people. Can ordinary lords come up with 100,000 gold coins?
