Master of Thermodynamics

Renault glanced at Evans calmly, and said loudly:

"Mr. Evans, compared with the value created by magic machines, they are actually not expensive at all, but rather cheap..."

The moment he heard the word "cheap", Evans felt as if there were a hundred thousand terrifying beasts whizzing past.

Your Excellency, are you kidding me?

360 Kinnars are still considered "quite cheap"?

At the same time, deep self-doubt surged in his heart. Could it be that I really have a face of being taken advantage of?

Even though Evans wanted to scold his mother very much, but "people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads", he wanted Renault, so there was no strange expression on his face.

Not only that, but he also pretended to be curious, saying that he really wanted to hear the next explanation.

Renault smiled slightly and began to talk endlessly.

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

"To transport a total of 100 tons of goods to 50 meters away, a magic forklift can only take up to 30 minutes. If you use manual labor, you need to hire 30 porters in the same time."

"What if the total weight of the cargo increases tenfold to 1,000 tons? Can 30 movers move 1,000 tons of cargo in 300 minutes?"

"Of course it's impossible, because the transport union feels tired, let alone 5 hours, 7 hours or 8 hours may not be able to handle it."

"But the magic machine is different. It will never be tired. It only takes 5 hours to transport 1,000 tons of goods with a forklift."

"To put it another way, if you work 10 hours a day, the magic forklift can transport 2,000 tons of goods, while a porter can only transport 20 tons, a difference of 100 times!"

When Renault talked about this, Evans couldn't help but nod his head.

"Let's calculate the labor cost again. The monthly income of a porter is generally 10 silver nars, so the monthly salary expenditure of 100 porters is 10 kinnals, which is 120 kinnals a year."

"A magic forklift only needs two drivers at most, and their monthly salary is slightly higher, but it will not exceed 50 silver nars, and the annual expenditure is only 12 kinnars."

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

"Compared with the salary expenditure of 100 porters, Magic Forklift can save nearly 100 Kinnars a year, and you can recover the cost within 4 years at most."

"And a forklift has a service life of more than 10 years. In the long run, you will not lose money, but you can earn at least 600 Kinnars."

The others were stunned.

The meaning in and out of Renault's words is obvious: 360 kinnals are still special at a loss, and labor and capital sales are 600 kinnals cheaper.

To give you a chance to make money, you are still too expensive, really insatiable!

There was obvious admiration on Goode's face.

Lord Lord is really awesome.

Obviously it is the sky-high price, but after the excellency's ingenious advocacy, it turned out to be "very cheap".

This... it's so black!

However, Renault's rhetoric was not impeccable. Hyde, who had been silent all the time, suddenly interrupted, and he asked straightforwardly:

"Your Excellency, I have a question. The calculation method you mentioned has an important prerequisite, that is, it is necessary to ensure that the forklift has so many goods available for transportation every day."

"The problem is that our Chamber of Commerce does not have so many goods to transport. If you buy a forklift, it will be idle for at least 20 days a month. If it is a storm season, the idle time will be longer..."

Hyde's words were quite rude and pointed out Renault's mistake directly.

Since Renault became the lord, no one has dared to speak to him in this tone, and most people look cautious in front of him.

But he was not angry.

As an engineering dog, he still has the spirit of "not only the supremacy, but only the truth" in his bones, and he usually sees too much of the face of Vivono. At this moment, Hyde's "uprightness" makes him feel very fresh.

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

After buying a forklift, can I really only use it for my own use?

My own needs are insufficient, isn’t the entire Seastar City also insufficient?

"Two, have you ever thought of setting up a freight company to provide cargo transportation services for merchant ships in ports?"

"I heard that in the busiest season, at most more than 100 commercial 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 movers charge an average of 10 copper nars for every ton of cargo. If the freight company lowers the fee, it will charge 8 copper nars per ton, and it will not be difficult to seize the market."

"If the freight company has multiple magic forklifts and magic slings that can quickly complete the handling work, I believe that the shipowners will be very happy to hire a moving company."

"Because the shorter the unloading time, the shorter the berth occupied, and the berthing fee paid by the ship owner to the port is also greatly reduced."

"If it can take up half of the share, the daily transportation volume will reach 5,000 tons, the turnover will have 4 Kinnars, and 120 Kinnars in one month. At most 3-4 months, the cost of a forklift I'm back."

When Renault said this, the only four listeners in the room all pricked their ears up, and even 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 profits are quite high.

Seeing that Evans and Hyde were very excited, Renault added another fire.

"Even if the storm season comes, it does not mean that the handling company has lost business. At this time, intra-city freight services can be provided."

"Although the chassis of the magic forklift is low, that is, the height of the body from the ground is not high, it is not suitable for driving in the wild, but the road conditions inside the city are OK, and the forklift is completely barrier-free in all corners of the city."

"I suggest that the service target be set at the major chambers of commerce in Haixing City, as well as various handicraft workshops, to provide services to them in the form of monthly or even yearly subscription."

"As long as the freight company's service is good enough, the workers are highly professional, the transportation is fast and good, and on time, there is no reason for the other party not to cooperate with such a company."

Hyde looked at Renault with admiration and admiration, stood up and saluted deeply, and said:

"His honorable chairman, your wisdom is really beyond the reach of ordinary people, and the ideas you casually say are impossible for me to think of for a mortal in a lifetime."

"Please allow me to establish a freight company. However, this wonderful idea obviously should not be used free of charge. As a reward, you will get 40% of the shares."

After a pause, Hyde added:

"I plan to personally invest 2000 Kinnars. You don't need to do anything, and you don't need to pay a penny."

Renault couldn't help but stunned.

After a moment of contemplation, he stared at Hyde deeply and smiled and said:

"I accept your shares."

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

Evans on the side looked at this scene inexplicably, and the expression on his face was a little surprised and confused. He was a little bit confused about why Hyde suddenly paid such a large sum of money to establish a freight company.

However, Evans instinctively realized that this seems to be a very promising business model.

Is the business model created by a wise man like the chairman simple?

Although I couldn't see through it for a while, it was because I was dull, but it was definitely right to follow the chairman.

Evans gritted his teeth, turned his head and said to Hyde:

"Mr. Hyde, I am willing to invest 1,000 Kinnars to join your handling company."

He smiled again at Renault in kindness, and said:

"Of course, the chairman's share ratio will not change. It will still be 40%. I only need 15% of the shares."

Hyde only considered for a second before agreeing.

"It's a great honor, Mr. Evans."

On the side, Good and Vivian were once again deeply shocked.

In a moving company with an investment of 3,000 Kinnars, 40% of its shares are worth 1200 Kinnars, and Renault just got such an amazing wealth with an idea.

This is a genuine "word of money".

By the way, he also sold a magic machine worth 3,000 Kinnars.

Because it doesn't cost much to set up a company, most of this money will be used to purchase Magic Slings and Magic Forklifts.

After 10 minutes, Renault looked at the agreement in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, and signed his name personally.

Yes, it was "personally", this time he didn't use [Nan Moment], but wrote rare handwriting.

In this agreement, in addition to the 40% of the "flaming reef transportation company" shares, Renault's obligations are also indicated. There are two in total.

The first article is to supply magic machinery at the "market price".

The second is to provide consultation to the company when necessary.

Before the official signature, Renault hesitated for a while, because it was the second article that was really valuable, or the real value of "advising the company", which was significantly greater than the value of 40% of the shares.

Is the knowledge of a traverser worth only 1,200 kinnals?

Of course it is impossible.

To put it bluntly, Renault's "insight" is actually the essence of a civilization, and it is also a fortune that cannot be measured by money.

As long as others snoop on a little bit of information from this "insight", it is enough to make a fortune.

And 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 it can get Renault's guidance, even if it is just a few words, the company can grow rapidly.

Originally, Renault thought that among the two present, Evans of the Red Reef Chamber of Commerce was more decisive and visionary, but now it seems that this somewhat silent Hyde is more visionary.

The reason is very simple. To put it bluntly, "helping the Haichao Chamber of Commerce sell things" is to rely on people to feed, and to rely on people to breathe. The future of development is ultimately limited.

If one day loses the support of the Haichao Chamber of Commerce, it will not be far from bankruptcy.

But starting a business on your own is different. It has greater potential and a higher ceiling for development. It is not impossible that a freight company will one day become an "ups" of a different world.
