Chapter 53
Caragua Island.

"Boss, this is the latest information from Yang Mengjiao." Feili handed him a thick document.

Li Qingye looked carefully.

At the end of February, the Qingye Group (Hongshawadi Branch) led by Ma Chi, Liu Zhifan, and Yang Mengjiao went to Yangon City in Hongshawadi through various channels.

After more than two months of hard work, a branch company was first established in Yangon City, and then went to Taninthary Province, the southernmost side of Hongshawadi, to start investment and construction.

At present, the headquarters is set up in Dawei District, the capital of Taninthary Province, and several small islands have been purchased in the area.

And Yang Mengjiao has successfully dealt with the local black and white, and this kind of small place is indeed very easy to infiltrate.

Now the task of the second branch is to continue to develop insignificantly for a period of time, build up the glass and cement industry of Aoba Group, and at the same time increase the penetration into Hongshawadi.

At this time in Dawei District.

Aoba Group, which directly acquired a large number of buildings, used one of the five-story buildings as a temporary headquarters building.

In the internal division of labor, Liu Zhifan is in charge of business and part of internal management, Ma Chi is in charge of technology and part of internal management, Yang Mengjiao is in charge of internal supervision, and at the same time cooperates with the security department's infiltration work.

Normally, Yang Mengjiao is basically in a state of seeing the head and not seeing the tail.

Now in the meeting room, there are only six cobweb managers including Liu Zhifan and Ma Chi.

"Zhifan, have the grinding equipment arrived yet?" Ma Chi asked.

Liu Zhifan nodded: "When we arrive at Dawei Port, the installation and commissioning will be completed within half a month, all of which are professional equipment customized from Huaguo."

"I have also completed three test-type breeding ponds. The current production status is good and meets the technical indicators." Ma Chi said while calling up the data of the biological computer and projecting it on the [colorful butterfly screen].

The colorful butterfly screen pasted on the wall of the meeting room shows a photo of the breeding pond.

On the other hand, the head of the crafts department took out several boxes containing recently produced glass products.

The proportional products produced by the three breeding pools are different according to the set gene sequence.

They are: glass bottles, flat glass, tempered glass products.

Ma Chi explained: "The production of flat glass is the simplest, and the incubation time is also the shortest. This glass is slightly harder than the flat glass on the market, and its other physical and chemical properties are basically the same."

From a series of photos of the cultivation tank, everyone can see the entire cultivation process of the flat glass.

The filtered seawater is introduced into the cultivation tank, and then an appropriate amount of silica powder and other auxiliary materials (such as colorants, modifiers, clarifiers, etc.) are added.

After all the raw materials are injected, the water temperature is maintained between 35.8 and 37.2 degrees Celsius, and finally a special hormone and nutrient solution is added, and the glass sponge will quickly enter a growth state.

After 45 hours, the glass at the bottom of the cultivation tank will be 5 millimeters thick, and the raw materials are almost exhausted, leaving only some waste liquid and living cells of the sponge.

Use the grabbing equipment to take out the glass, remove the sponge cells attached to the surface, and a piece of flat glass with a length of 3 meters and a thickness of 5 mm is completed.

As for the sponge cells in the cultivation tank, except for the mother matrix at the bottom, all the remaining living cells are removed and used as raw materials for methane fermentation.

As for those waste liquids, they are actually seawater with relatively low nutrients and salt content, which can be directly discharged into the sea.

In fact, it is also possible to directly use fresh water for production, but this will increase the production cost. After all, fresh water is not as cheap as sea water, and the use of fresh water needs to supplement some other elements, which will further increase the cost.

However, the advantage of low-temperature glass technology is that the production cost is sufficiently low.

Ma Chi continued: "According to the test results, the cost of low-temperature glass is mainly concentrated on nutrient solution, hormones and ground silica powder, and the cost of equipment is much lower than that of high-temperature glass."

"How much lower than high-temperature glass?" Liu Zhifan was very concerned about this issue.

"The cost is 85-96% lower, which means that in the early stage, we can hit the glass market in Southeast Asia and South Asia with low prices."

Liu Zhifan wrote down the data: "What about glass bottles and tempered glass?"

"The cost of glass bottles of a certain shape will be higher than that of flat glass, while tempered glass needs secondary processing and raw materials need to be adjusted. The cost is about 50-60% of ordinary tempered glass." Ma Chi said with a few treasures.

Others also reported on their own departments.

Because the production process of low-temperature glass and coral cement is different from the traditional technology, not only the energy consumption is reduced, but also the production equipment required for the production line is reduced a lot.

For example, the production line of low-temperature glass only needs cultivation tanks, injection machines, grabbing machines, pumps, filter tanks, water temperature regulators, post-production cell cleaning machines, conveyor belts, cutting workbenches, and equipment for mining quartz stones and grinding equipment.

The production line of coral cement is similar.

Qingye Group has enclosed a wasteland of 5 mu near Dawei Port, and obtained the mining rights of local quartzite mines and limestone mines.

Establish a cement and glass production base here, and at the same time use the transportation convenience of Dawei Port to export glass products to South Asia and Southeast Asia.

However, Liu Zhifan understands that foreign trade depends on cost-effectiveness and opportunities. Many companies have their own suppliers, and it is impossible to change suppliers all of a sudden because of the low price of Qingye Group.

However, in the local market of Hongshawadi, those small glass factories are definitely not the opponents of Aoba Group.

But he didn't want to rely solely on glass and cement. After listening to everyone's situation, Liu Zhifan came up with a plan of his own: "I plan to enter the beverage industry, and the FMCG industry is even better."

"Fast moving goods? Drinks?" Ma Chi frowned, he really didn't know much about this.

Liu Zhifan reminded with a smile: "We have an advantage that other beverage companies do not have, a huge advantage."

"Glass bottle?" Ma Chi responded.

"Yes, it is glass bottles. Do you know why glass bottles are eliminated by plastic bottles? Because of the difference in production costs, glass bottles weigh more than plastic bottles and are easy to break, but the key is still in cost."

Liu Zhifan dug out a document and put it on the screen.

"This is the cost difference between glass bottles and plastic bottles. Although glass bottles can be recycled to reduce some costs, the cost of traditional glass bottles is still high."

He called up another document: "This is the current packaging cost on the market. Whether it is a plastic bottle or a Tetra Pak, the cost is not low."

"It's really not low." Ma Chi also discovered for the first time that the packaging cost of a carton of milk actually accounts for about 20-30% of the sales price.

Liu Zhifan said confidently: "The production cost of our glass bottles is much lower than that of plastic bottles. Even selling mineral water can kill other companies."

"Selling mineral water?" The head of the technology department thought about it and found that the mineral water process is not difficult. They only need to import a set of water treatment equipment and a tinplate bottle cap production line to basically form a mineral water production line.

At that time, they will start a price war first, killing Hongshawadi's peers, and then relying on their technology and price advantages, they will enter the entire Southeast Asian market, and they will be able to dominate the beverage industry.

Soon Ma Chi and others agreed to Liu Zhifan's beverage strategy.

They will sort out these things and report to the headquarters regularly.
