Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 731 Each takes what he needs, win-win cooperation

"If all of them are molded in one piece to form a complete and beautiful case, it will be about this size."

Carter stood up and roughly sketched the size of the case.Since the design has not yet been finalized, Carter can only roughly estimate a volume.
"For such a six-sided solid container, use one-piece injection molding to make five sides. The remaining one side is cut with a plate, and screw holes are reserved when cutting. Finally, it is not possible to connect with screws! In this way, in terms of color matching, diversity It's not enough."

Halfway through the conversation, Carter himself vetoed the processing plan.The five sides, including the screws and even the hardware in them, are places where you can do your own work.
If one-piece injection molding is used, the color variable space will be much less!
"In this way, it is better to cut with plates, reserve holes when cutting, and connect them all with screws. Let's put this matter aside. After I return to the United States, I will contact the electronic engineers to determine the processing plan. At that time, we will Calculate the cost carefully."

"For now, my personal preference is to choose PU, that is, polyurethane material. Then, as a factory that produces MDI, the core raw material of polyurethane, Director Li and Mr. Ding, can your factory produce PU particles? If so, How much is the quotation? If not, just provide MDI, how much is the quotation?"

"We don't have a PU production line now, but... with MDI, it is not difficult to prepare PU particles. But we want to know how much Mr. Black's purchase is? How long is the contract period? We need to calculate Forget it, is it worth adding equipment for PU production?"

Assuming that the shell of a chassis weighs 2 kg, then selling 2000 units per month means that [-] kg of PU boards are needed.If it is a plate cutting, then counting the loss of leftovers, this figure will be even greater
And in terms of sales, if the final price is controllable.With the lessons learned from Osborne, Carter felt that with his more advanced marketing methods, he could not sell more than a thousand units.

Don't expect to reach the sky in one step, surpassing Osborn's monthly sales of [-] units.Be conservative, [-] units per month should be fine, that is.
"Probably more than ten tons of PU are needed every month. This estimate is conservative. There may be more in the future. I don't know if this amount is enough? As for the contract period, I am also conservative. After all, this is a project for me. It is still an unfamiliar industry. I can sign a three-year contract first. If within three years, our purchase volume decreases or stops, I am willing to pay liquidated damages. But at the same time, you also need to give me a sincere s price!"

"Okay, that's for sure. Let's communicate with the factory first, and then the factory will report it to see what the department thinks."

"I estimate that the Ministry should suggest that they provide you with MDI raw materials instead of the finished product directly."

After the two people from the synthetic leather factory left, Han Xue said this sentence just after closing the door.

"Ok?"

Carter snorted softly, waiting for Han Xue's next words.

In the era before comprehensive market-oriented reforms, the autonomy of these state-owned factories was not high.For example, in the current business, it is better to say that it is negotiating with the Ministry of Light Industry than with the factory.
After the business is negotiated, the Ministry of Light Industry will allocate the corresponding raw materials to the factory. After the factory is finished producing, the Ministry of Light Industry will allocate them in a unified manner.For example, deliver to yourself.
Internally speaking, today's state-owned factories are still the same as those in the planned economy era.If the Ministry of Light Industry does not agree, no matter how good the price is, there will be no negotiation.Just based on common sense, Carter couldn't think of a reason for the Ministry of Light Industry to reject the business!
"It's a bit similar to the problem with aluminum, capacity!"

Walking to Carter and sitting down, Han Xue said softly:

"You just mentioned polyurethane, which reminded me of something. I seem to have seen relevant information. Our current polyurethane production capacity is still too low! A few years ago, the national annual output was less than [-] tons, and last year it seemed to be the same. There is less than [-] tons of output."

The annual output is less than [-] tons?that is to say
My 120 tons a month is still the lowest, and I get [-] tons a year, which takes almost [-]% of the country's annual output.
"But plastics are different from aluminum after all. The reserves of non-ferrous metal mines are limited, and large-scale mining is not easy in a short period of time, so it is not easy to expand production capacity. However, the chemical industry is different. It is artificial Synthetic products, as long as there are equipment and people, it is relatively easy to expand the production capacity. And you know, our country has never been short of working people!"

"I seem to understand what you mean. You want to use my money to buy equipment to expand the production capacity of polyurethane products. It's not impossible. I just plan to open a factory here in Wuhan, but I don't know where to start. Let’s start, it’s a coincidence for you!”

Needless to say too much, Carter immediately understood China's thinking.

It has to be said that this method really grasps the seven inches of foreign capital!

Carter, who owns two major correctional companies, TCA and GCA, may not lack cheap labor.But apart from my own special case, which businessman in a developed country in Europe and the United States does not lack cheap labor?

Especially in this meeting, a Chinese worker earns one hundred dollars a month, which is enough for the other party to go crazy walking with joy.Even at the official exchange rate, that's only $50, or $600 a year!And in America, a worker.
It doesn't count benefits, it doesn't count insurance, it's just basic salary, and you don't start with seven or eight thousand dollars a year. Can you handle it?
Just on the individual, the gap in salary expenditure is more than ten times.If you count the large and small trade unions and industry associations in the United States, whether it is the "contribution" to the trade unions, or the promise of the conditions of the trade unions, they will provide sufficient welfare guarantees.
In the cost of an individual labor, it can save nearly 20 times of funds.And a factory, especially a larger factory, needs the number of workers and the cost that can be saved in the process.
One is the marginal cost of long-term flow, and the other is the fixed cost of one-time investment.How to do this multiple-choice question, even a primary school student can figure it out!

And in this way, the equipment has entered China, and the output in this land has also increased.Similarly, over time, there will be more Chinese workers who can skillfully operate these production equipment!

These abundant materials produced and these skilled production workers are the foundation for development and resurgence!

"This is a very good thing. I need high-quality and low-cost products, and you need more production equipment and skilled workers. We have a win-win cooperation, and we each get what we need! Let's do this, and then you can help me contact Li Director and the others, there is no need for them to consult the factory about the finished PU granules. Anyway, even if they provide me with PU finished products, I still need secondary processing and injection molding. Provide me with raw materials, and I will produce them myself, which will be more efficient! This side will go off the assembly line and be processed right away, but in terms of raw materials, that is, the price of MDI, I need a preferential price!"
