Chapter 158 The Benefits of Not Needing a Refrigerated Truck
Most people migrate with their families because they are unemployed and in order to survive.A small number of people, it should be said, only a very small number of people migrate with their families in pursuit of a better life.

For Carter, or the city government of Pearson, as long as there is not a large number of out-migration, if a few people want to go out, let them go!

And Montgomery's words also awakened Carter.As long as there is money to flow back and the city of Pearson can seize the opportunity, use the money to build Pearson. Even if some people leave, it can also attract new people to Pearson at the same time!
As long as the in and out volumes match, Pearson City won't have much of an opinion.If things are going well and the inflow of people is greater than the outflow of people, then Pearson City is too late to be happy, and the relationship is stalemate, which basically does not exist.
As for the city of Pilsen, after getting the money, there is no place to build. That is the gods are beyond salvation!As a businessman, Carter felt that he had thought enough, and that he had thought enough for the city of Pearson.

After figuring this out, Carter stopped worrying too much about this issue and continued to look at the specific cost calculations of the two plans.Just looking at this, Carter was immediately dumbfounded
"This first plan, doesn't it need cold chain vehicles at all?!"

"To be precise, there is no need for a refrigerated car, but an insulated car is still needed!"

Closer to home, this is my field of expertise.Montgomery immediately showed his professional and capable style, compared the map, and said while calculating the accounts:
"The first is the transportation of live cattle and live chickens. The most common trucks can be used for this, and no modification is required at all. I plan to do this part myself, and add a second party and a third party. We will use vehicles from three sources. composition of capacity."

"The self-operated fleet is naturally the owner's Dongfeng Express fleet. The second-party logistics is composed of agricultural and livestock logistics company fleets in various regions. We can sign long-term contracts to ensure stable supply. The last third party, I will summarize it as scattered logistics. As well as special allocation of logistics needs, this part I plan to give truck drivers the freedom to receive orders and settle the freight according to the order. This part is more flexible, and we can expand or shrink our capacity scale at any time by a small amount. In terms of flexibility and cost performance, we compare There is an advantage."

"Then there is the output from the processing plant. Memphis has a large and mature airport. We only need to build a medium-to-large cold storage next to the Memphis airport to store meat products in a centralized manner. FedEx's Boeing 727 will help us deliver them to distribution centers everywhere."

"In terms of the distribution center, there are three first-level distribution sites. The Southwest Station will be built in California, near McCarran Las Vegas Airport, and a medium-to-large cold storage will be built here. The insulated car will be in charge Transportation, about 360 kilometers to Los Angeles, about 400 kilometers to Phoenix, Arizona, can be delivered in half a day. Using an insulated car is completely enough!"

"The second Texas distribution station can be built near the state capital of Austin. Still the same, the use of insulated vehicles can supply the four cities of Dallas, Houston, Paso, and Austin in the Texas area. Similarly, It’s also convenient for air transport.”

Montgomery's words lingered in Carter's ears like the temptation of a devil.In the cold chain transportation link, there are nothing more than two items that burn the most money, one is the cold storage, and the other is the refrigerated truck!

The price of a mechanical refrigerated truck for long-distance transportation that can control the temperature between -10 and -18 degrees will remain high in the future, let alone now.If you remove the budget for the refrigerated truck, at least you can save yourself at least three million in capital investment.

其次是冷库，对肉制品来说，中小型冷库应该保证将温度控制在-3到0度之间，湿度40%-60%。牛肉能够存放28到35天；鸡肉和猪肉会短上许多，大概7天到14天左右。

This part of the investment must not be saved, but the construction of only three medium and large cold storages is much more affordable than the establishment of small cold storages everywhere.

If you follow this set of plans, then you don't need to invest 1600 million start-up funds at all.Generally, the price of a new American truck in the future is generally only between 12 and 14 US dollars.And in these years, more than [-] US dollars is enough!
Even if you get a hundred brand new cars yourself, you only need 300 million US dollars.It's even lower. After all, if you take a hundred trucks at a time, it's unreasonable for this special truck company not to give you a discount!

That is to say, for the money that could only buy about [-] refrigerated trucks, now you can buy [-] trucks, and directly build the core framework of the land transportation part.Among them, a batch of trucks will be taken out, heat-insulated and modified, and some consumable refrigerators will be added. The cost will not exceed [-].

In addition to three large-scale ten-thousand-level cold storages, the land price, construction labor costs, equipment costs, material costs, electronic control equipment costs, etc. are all added together, and then all good materials and equipment are used to build high-standard cold storages. A cold storage It also cost less than $200 million.

On the basic investment in the early stage, you can directly save yourself nearly half of the budget.It reminds me of the problem over there in Pilsen.
"That's the plan, I thought about it, let's go steadily! First complete the two areas in the southwest and northeast, and then expand horizontally!"

"Well! Then I will contact the relevant personnel according to this plan."

Montgomery, who was suddenly interrupted by Carter, felt a little regretful, but he didn't say much.

"Okay, I will transfer the money to HT's account later. Don't worry, there will be bread. The current environment is not good, and people need cheap food! In this environment, we do not lack opportunities for expansion !"

Carter, noticing the regret in Montgomery's eyes, smiled and stepped forward to hold the other's hands, drew a big pie with some affection, and smashed it head-on.

"Let you see it, haha"

After being pierced by Carter's words, Montgomery smiled awkwardly, and quickly adjusted his mentality:
"Don't worry, Mr. Black. I know this, and our starting scale is already very strong! Whether it's Wal-Mart where I used to work, or McDonald's, which is now the fast food leader, when they first made a fortune, there was no one that compares Beat us!"

"By the way, Mr. Black, I plan to move the company's office to Memphis. What do you think? It's close to the factory and can be dispatched in the middle. With Memphis, it's easier to recruit talents. After all, Pearson is here."

"Hahaha, you are the general manager of HT now. You can make up your own mind about these matters! And the construction of the factory and cold storage are all left to you to worry about. How many employees are needed to help? You look at the recruitment. Turn back When the company is set up, send me a list of employees."

The location of the company's office in Memphis does not affect its tax payment in Pearson, where it is registered. As long as it does not affect the perception of Pearson, Carter will naturally not stop it.

Just as I often look down on Douglas, such a small place does not have the soil for a company to grow and prosper.Even if Montgomery didn't mention it, Carter would have to open his mouth to persuade the other party to change the office location
"Oh, that's right! One more thing, before you leave, hold a job fair in Douglas and Pearson. If there are any available people, just bring a few from here first."
