Yi Qiushang did not disappoint Li Zhi. After just ten minutes, he returned with a happy and excited expression, announcing, "Boss, it's a deal!" 9.3 yuan per catty. We can secure £100,000 for 930,000 yuan. Plus, delivery is available to your doorstep within a hundred kilometers of the No. 5 Fishing Harbor!
Li Zhi was also very happy. He reached out and touched the 'Little Extreme' on its head, smiled, and encouraged, "Good job!"
Behind her back, Yi Qushang rolled her eyes. She was disgusted by people touching her head, which made her feel like she was very young.
Li Zhi cheerfully paid five hundred thousand dollars for the goods; the balance would be paid to the fish merchant after the other party's cod was delivered to the factory.
Three million two hundred thousand dollars were invested in a primary fishball processing factory. The maximum capacity can produce and manufacture thirty tons of fishballs per day, which is equivalent to 60,000 pounds. One hundred thousand pounds of raw materials were purchased, costing $930,000. Additionally, a reward of USD was given to Yi Qushang. This money can either be held until the end of the month along with the paycheck or can be withheld initially under some pretext.
The boss is correct.
It was already noon today, so with 100,000 pounds of raw materials, it would probably take until sunset tomorrow for all the processing to be completed.
After returning to the factory, Li Zhi called Yi Qushang over and asked her to handle sales. He instructed her that the net profit per unit should not be less than eight yuan. If she does well, there will be a bonus waiting for her.
As soon as you hear the word "bonus," the "little superb" eyes light up with excitement and eagerly lead the way.
Li Zhi has limited funds available. After renting land, constructing factories, purchasing raw materials, hiring employees, and buying vehicles, he has already spent around five million dollars. With only three million dollars remaining, he intends to keep this amount as a reserve fund. He is cautious not to exhaust all of his available funds, ensuring that he has some money left in case of emergencies.
If calculated based on a net profit of eight dollars per pound of cod fish balls, the "Primary Fish Ball Processing Plant" can produce 60,000 pounds per day, generating four hundred eighty thousand U.S. dollars. To earn fourteen million four hundred thousand dollars a month, in a year it would amount to 172.8 million dollars, which is not even a fraction of fifteen billion dollars.
"The speed of earning money is still too slow!" Li Zhi sat in the factory office, shaking his head and muttering. Making money too slowly would bore him to death!
Make money, invest in the factory, make money, invest in the factory again, make money again... a seamless cycle! But if you cycle like this, can you earn back 15 billion a year? Li Zhi was still unsure!
The price of the "Primary Fishball Processing Plant" is three million two hundred thousand dollars, covering an area of twenty-five acres. Therefore, theoretically, Li Zhi could rent the land and still establish a "Primary Fishball Processing Plant" there.
The "Intermediate Fishball Processing Plant" is priced at thirty-two million US dollars. It covers an area of 100 acres and has a maximum capacity of 150 tons per day, which is equivalent to 300,000 pounds. The plant requires 250 employees.
The "Advanced Fishball Processing Plant" is priced at $X. The facility covers an area of 300 acres and has a maximum daily production capacity of 500 tons or 1 million pounds, which necessitates 800 employees.
The "Super Fish Ball Processing Plant" is priced at one billion dollars and covers an area of 1,000 acres. It has a maximum daily production capacity of 10,000 tons or 20 million pounds and requires 6,000 employees.
As long as there is plenty of money on hand, Li Zhi can build four types of factories, one of which is the "Super Fishball Processing Plant."
Currently, Li Zhi does not have sufficient funds to establish an advanced and super fishball processing plant. Therefore, he plans to start with a primary and intermediate fishball processing plant to save money and accumulate funds. His goal is to establish a state-of-the-art fishball processing plant within six months.
Star of the Sea also has a network. Li Zhi searched for news about the top ten ports using his computer in the office. The top ten ports, also known as the top ten fishing ports, are each considered separate independent kingdoms.
The laws governing fishing ports and fishing harbors differ, as do the authorities overseeing them. However, fishing ports and harbors are permitted to engage in trade with each other.
In addition to the ten major fishing ports, there are also tens of thousands of islands of various sizes scattered across the Sea Star. These islands can be seen as small independent countries with their own politics, trade, and ethnicities. However, they need to rely on the ten major ports in order to survive, and they are considered subsidiaries of the ten major fishing ports.
The most developed aspect of Star of the Sea is its fishing industry, classified as a specialized production site by the Nebula I9 Intelligent Factory System.
Li Zhi's arrival, coupled with the advantages of the 'Nebula I9 Intelligent Factory System' in his hands, was like a fish in water.
In other areas, even if Li Zhi constructs the 'Super Fishball Processing Plant', it may not be able to achieve maximum kinetic energy output daily due to insufficient raw materials.
Are you inquiring about fishball processing plants, raw materials, and fishing boats? That's right, fishing boats. Given the abundant starfish fishery resources, if Li Zhi invests in his own fishing company to catch fish, produce goods, and sell them, he can significantly reduce raw material costs and increase net profits.
Like the 'Star of the Sea' fishery resources on a developed planet, fishing companies must not lose money. Li Zhi discovered that the fishery resources on the Star of the Sea were not only utilized locally but also sold to other planets in the region.
"Star of the Sea" was just a phrase, not a single word. If Li Zhi had sufficient financial resources, he could potentially explore other planets from the Sea Star 5 fishing port.
But for the time being, those destinations were still too distant. Not to mention other planets, Li Zhi had not yet established a solid presence even at the Sea Star's No. 5 Fishing Port.
Merely owning a "Primary Fishball Processing Factory" may not even register as a blip in the eyes of others, and those major companies might not even consider him seriously.
"Ding: Nebula i9 Intelligent Factory has announced a mission to acquire a medium-sized shipyard in Fishing Ground No. 5 to establish its own ocean-going fishing fleet." The company also plans to own three "Super Fishball Processing Factories" and five "Super Canning Factories." "Mission accomplished, rewarded with a copy of the new map of 'World Factory'."
Li Zhi looked at the new task in his mind and did not show much excitement. Just now, he had already checked the internet. Small shipbuilding factories generally cost around one billion dollars, medium-sized shipbuilding factories are priced at around ten billion dollars, and large shipbuilding factories typically have a scale of one hundred billion dollars in the city.
To establish an ocean fishing fleet, it is essential to have at least ten different types of fishing boats. This scale can be considered small, with costs estimated to be no less than two billion dollars. Additionally, three "super fish ball processing plants" and five "super canning factories" would cost around eight billion dollars. Therefore, the construction of a large-scale shipbuilding factory would require approximately one billion dollars, while a medium-sized shipbuilding factory would cost around ten million dollars. Large-scale shipbuilding factories, on the other hand, typically operate on a scale of around one hundred billion dollars in the city. To achieve this task, Li Zhi would need to spend around twenty billion dollars, as one billion dollars would not be sufficient.
Within a year, he had to earn fifteen billion dollars to repay the principal and interest of the "private business loan," and still have money left over.
Turning his head, he realized that his calculations were not quite accurate. The larger the scale of his factory in Fishing Harbor No. 5, the more money he would make. Building super factories, establishing an ocean fishing fleet, and acquiring shipyards did not seem to conflict with the goal of 'making money'.
Thinking about this, Li Zhi's expression improved slightly!
