Master of Thermodynamics

However, Renault did not go to tease Xiao Niangpi, but the restless Xiao Niangpi took the initiative to attack.

"Dear President, can Alita ask you a few questions?"

Facing this white and tender face and a pair of big eyes that flickered, Renault sighed helplessly. He wanted to say "No."

But as soon as he saw the ardent face of Evans next to him, he couldn't bear to refuse, because Alita's "problems" were mostly from Roy's instruction, even for the sake of the box of Kinnar. It's not good to refuse directly.

Take the manpower short.

Although this is a clear code transaction (clear grab), there is no question of who owes whom, and I can't help myself.

Hey, this master is kind.

"Miss Alita, I am very happy to answer your questions." Renault said with a smile.

Alita smiled sweetly and started talking.

"I heard Uncle Evans say that the idea of ​​establishing a freight company came from your genius mind, but I have done some calculations and found that even if it can monopolize the freight of the entire Seastar City port, the annual revenue will not exceed 1500 Jinna. You."

"In addition, in the storm season, if we go to open up the same-city freight market, but the number of local workshops is limited, the market capacity is not large, and the annual revenue is expected to be only 500 Kinnars at most.

"In other words, the annual income is only 2,000 Kinnars."

"But it's just turnover, and costs have to be removed."

"To monopolize the freight of Seastar City, at least 20 magic forklifts and 5 sets of magic slings are required. The cost of this piece is as high as 8,000 kinners. Based on the 10-year service life, the average annual depreciation cost is 800. Kinnar."

"Considering that each machine consumes 10 Kinnars of Magic Stones per year, the energy cost is 250 Kinnars, and the annual equipment cost alone is 1050 Kinnars."

"In addition, to maintain a freight company, in addition to more than 50 workers who operate machinery, it also needs a group of people to maintain customer relations. This part requires at least more than 20 people. Based on the average monthly salary of 40 silver nars, the amount of manpower is The expenditure is close to 400 Kinnars."

"Finally, including other miscellaneous expenditures of 100 Kinnars, the final cost is 1550 Kinnars."

The others in the carriage were dumbfounded.

She said these words hurriedly and quickly. After she finished speaking, her breathing became a little short, and her bulging chest kept undulating, but through the thick coat, others could only imagine what was under the coat in their heads. Beautiful scenery.

Even Renault somehow admired this beautiful girl. She was indeed a genius from a business family. She actually calculated the revenue and expenditure clearly, and was well-founded and convincing.

After breathing for a while, Alita began to make a final summary.

"Benefits minus costs, the freight company's net profit is 450 Kinnars, and the average annual rate of return is only 5.5%. Compared to the rate of return of other industries, this figure is not eye-catching."

"I also heard that the chairman once said,'The freight industry is a very promising industry.' Alita would like to ask you for advice. Is there a fallacy in my calculation method?"

Having said that, Alita looked at Renault with a pair of beautiful eyes.

This is really a proud girl.

Alita kept saying "pointing", but her eyes were clearly suspicious, and there was also a trace of unconvinced. Obviously, Evans's admiration for Renault inspired her to be competitive.

Evans next to him was also very concerned about this problem, because Renault saw a trace of unconcealable tension on his face.

Renault immediately thought of the reason.

It was mostly because this fellow invested in a freight company on impulse yesterday. After returning home to do an 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. Come and test it out.

What an old cunning guy.

Renault was a little bit emotional. Although most of the turtles in the alien world are fools and women, there are many elites. Evans and Alita are two of them. The general rhetoric is not enough to fool them.

However, the so-called "elites" are only relative to the local turtles. The vision of these elites is also limited by the times, and they can only see the front, not the longer-term place.

But Renault can.

So in front of him, these two people are still just soil turtles, the bigger one, isn't it a soil turtle anymore?

Renault chuckled, Shi Shiran said:

"Miss Alita, there is no problem with your calculation method, but you may have overlooked the key point. The market size of the freight industry is not static, it is constantly expanding."

"Due to the restrictions of the storm season, the current ocean shipping is only half a year, and the port's operation time is only half a year. But one day humans will completely conquer the storm season. At that time, at any moment, you will see sailing boats sailing across the ocean. Every corner."

"In other words, in the future, port freight revenue will at least double to 3,000 kinnals or even more. I personally think that within 5 years, it is likely to reach 5,000 kinnals."

"Isn't it a clear proof that our Haichao Chamber of Commerce is here?"

At this moment Evans asked a little excitedly:

"Your Excellency, are you willing to transfer the technology of sailing during the storm season?"

Everyone knows that this is an epoch-making great technology, and the benefits involved are amazing. As long as any chamber of commerce obtains this technology, the jinnar earned every year will be doubled.

Not double, double, but ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times!

No one expects the Haichao Chamber of Commerce to dispatch a transfer.

The reason is simple. They are not fools. They can clearly monopolize the shipping of half the world. Why should they 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 the Haichao Chamber of Commerce is willing to transfer technology, the Red Reef Chamber of Commerce, which is more closely connected with it, will surely get a share, and then its own Chamber of Commerce will also gain countless Kinnars.

Renault nodded and said:

"Although it is not now, I already have a general plan. In the next ten years, we will carry out limited transfers."

Evanston giggled.

The meaning of this sentence is too obvious. The so-called "limitation" is of course limited to the partners closest to the Haichao Chamber of Commerce. There is no doubt that the first batch of Red Reef Chambers of Commerce also belong to this rank.

In addition, this sentence has another meaning: within 10 years, Haichao Chamber of Commerce will develop into a behemoth, an unprecedentedly terrifying behemoth, and will gradually spread the technology after it has fully established its leading edge.

At this moment, he deeply felt that his own initiative to hold the thigh of the Haichao Chamber of Commerce was really too wise.

Your Excellency President has even given the number of years-ten years, this time is not too long, Evans can afford it.

After understanding this, Evans secretly made up his mind that he must work harder and harder to hug the thigh of the president, and try to please him more, but this is not enough. It is best to send Alita to the president. Bed.

Thinking of this, he unconsciously glanced at his niece's pretty face, and secretly began to calculate.

On the other side, after hearing Renault's words, Alita's "arrogance" instantly lowered, and a daze flashed in her eyes.

But Renault hadn't finished speaking yet.

"I predict that in the next few decades, the scale of land freight transportation will also expand dramatically, whether it is transportation speed or capacity, it will increase tenfold or a hundredfold."

"Correspondingly, the revenue of land freight will also increase by leaps and bounds. I think the freight revenue of Seastar City alone can easily exceed 1,000 Kinnars."

Alita was shocked when she heard the words, and blurted out a series of words.

"This is impossible!"

"How can the carriage speed be increased by 10 times? The road conditions outside the city are so bad that the carriage can't move 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 am afraid that one transportation will damage several wheels. The time to stop and repair the carriage will consume more than half of the transportation time."

Renault quietly listened to her rebuttal and asked with a smile:

"Miss Alita, you are right. Today's land transportation mainly relies on horse-drawn carriages, which is inefficient and costly."

"However, as the times are advancing and technology is constantly evolving, we will not rely on carriage transportation forever."

Alita opened her eyes wide and asked:

"Are you saying that in the future there will be a means of transportation faster than a carriage?"

Renault glanced at her lightly and said:

"No, it has already appeared!"

As a qualified admirer, Goode took the time to insert a few words.

"Miss Alita, you may not know, the chairman invented a transport vehicle called the'Magic Tractor', the maximum speed is 2 times faster than the carriage."

"At the Haichao Chamber of Commerce, it has been put into use to transport goods from the warehouse to the dock. The total distance of a round trip is more than 16 kilometers, and the magic tractor only takes half an hour."

"It is also very powerful. It can easily drag two heavy-duty trailers full of goods. A magic tractor can transport more than 40 tons of goods at a time. Our chamber of commerce has 4 tractors, which can transport more than 160 tons of goods in one trip. ."

At this time, Goode raised his voice, his voice full of pride.

"The Magic Tractor fleet only ran two times and transported hundreds of tons of goods from the warehouse to the dock!"

What responded to him were two completely dull faces.

After recovering, Alita lowered her head, her white face instantly turned into red cloth, and the ups and downs of her chest became more obvious.

At the same time, out of a certain strange psychology, she resisted the scorching heat on her face and quietly looked at Renault from the corner of her eye, wanting to see Renault's reaction.

However, to her disappointment, he did not look at himself, but turned his head and looked out the window.

Alita suddenly became very unhappy.

Beside her, Evans smiled because he knew he was right again.

Follow in the footsteps of your chairman, and sure enough, there will never be a mistake!
