Chapter 80: The Bad Days Are Yet to Come
The cost of 60,000 bricks is 600 yuan, and according to the calculation of 40,000 finished bricks, each piece can be sold for 1,200 quick money.
"So we have 600 yuan left over in a month, and then by the end of the year we will have more than 3,000 yuan in profit. Zhang Hai's voice was full of surprise.
This is still the case of large losses in the early stage, when as their technology becomes more and more purely experienced, the loss will drop significantly, and the profit will increase.
There are also those defective products commonly known as Wang Ba bricks bricks are not not not able to sell money, although they are strange shapes and not specifications, but it is guaranteed to buy it cheaply, and it should not be a big problem to sell a cost.
A kiln of 20,000 pieces of defective quality can also recover 1,200 bricks.
And that's just the red bricks, they also have cement bricks and cement tiles.
"So, by the end of the year, it's almost time to repay the loan. ”
You see, this is stupid again, isn't it?
At that time, people were timid and simple, and the loans owed to the bank would be restless and unable to sleep at night, and they would do everything possible to repay the loan quickly in order to feel at ease, Zhang Hai also thought the same.
At that time, the loan was like being lent to you for nothing, the interest was completely negligible, and the person who was in a hurry to repay the loan was stupid.
"Why are you in a hurry to repay the loan?"
"Of course, the money owed to others has to be repaid, and if you don't pay it back, can you still live a solid life? Besides, if you don't pay back, the loan officer won't grow to my house every day." ”
"You're stupid, you can repay the interest, you pay the interest back to the loan officer and promise not to spend the New Year at your house. ”
"But won't we have money then? Why don't we pay it back?"
Wan Feng wanted to slap Zhang Hai into the rice ditch on the side of the road, but considering that he might not be able to beat him as a soldier and because he still had seniority, this idea did not dare to put into action.
"The members have worked hard for a year, shouldn't they see dividends during the New Year? Why did you pay off the loans, what do you give to the members? And let them not even afford a new dress for the New Year? They are not even willing to buy a pound of meat? Not even willing to put a firecracker?"
Zhang Hai scratched his head: "You mean that we will only repay the interest on the loan, and then distribute the money to the members of the club, so that they can have a happy New Year?"
"That's right, when the members have money in their hands, they will naturally be motivated, and the days when they have everything to do will be sweet! Your prestige will also be greatly enhanced, and your orders will be carried out to the greatest extent after the depression. ”
"It turns out that there is such an operation, why can't I think of it?"
"Besides, if you use other people's money to make money, a fool will not do it, and the interest is only a few dollars, do you know how much profit you can create by keeping it in your hands? ”
Lao Tzu has accumulated experience after living for decades, and you now know that I haven't been a fool all these years.
Zhang Haimao paused: "Yes! You're right, using other people's money to make your own money is high! It's really high! It's just the height of Gaojiazhuang!"
I didn't watch this movie in vain, I remember the lines.
Wan Feng quickly felt that Zhang Hai's footsteps seemed to become sonorous and powerful, and he stomped the ground into a mountain.
But all this is now on paper, and it still needs to be worked on whether it can be realized.
The next morning, Xiao Dexiang took two masters to the Wahou team, and after visiting the site, a group of people designed tile molds in the newly built houses in the site.
After discussion and argumentation, two tile samples were finally selected among the four tile samples painted by Wan Feng, and then a ridge tile pattern was finalized.
Xiao Dexiang said that there is definitely a market for these two tiles in rural areas.
When the mold of the tile is set, the mold of the cement brick is also determined.
Most of the cement tile molds in later generations are Shuo products, but in 80 years, Shuo material is still a rare thing, that is, Taizhou, the national Shuo material kingdom, has not yet formed much scale in 80 years.
Therefore, it can only be replaced by iron products or wood products, and wood products are easy to deform after being soaked in cement, so Wan Feng still chose iron molds.
The tile mold is actually a small box, the bottom and the lid have a special shape, when the prepared cement is poured into the box after a short period of vibration, and then even the mold is taken to a cool and dark place for drying.
The shade drying time is usually twenty-four hours in the summer and about two days in the winter.
After the concrete in the mold is completely solidified, it is separated from the mold to complete the production of a tile.
The same is true for the principle of making cement bricks.
Considering that the early sales volume is unlikely to be too large and the cost is reasonable, only 100 sets of each mold were ordered, including the cement brick mold, a total of 400 sets of molds, and each set was priced at one yuan and six dimes.
That's a very good price.
Although the price of scrap iron is only three cents, a set of molds also needs more than a dozen catties of pig iron, plus manual sand processing and other messy processes, the cost price of a set is estimated to exceed one yuan.
Factory processing is naturally to make money, and the extra surplus is the profit of others.
Whether Xiao Dexiang and these people process and manufacture it privately or get it to the factory for processing is not something that Wan Feng has to worry about, no matter how they process it, they can make it.
Xiao Dexiang went back with the drawings and promised to make them for a week.
Zhang Hai also went straight to Dongdan City to buy machines without stopping.
His busy days are still ahead, buying coal, buying cement, applying for business permits, and running before and after is enough to make him anxious.
These things can't be solved by him alone without the support from above, because many things are supplied by ticket.
The price of coal in the 80s was as cheap as dirt on the side of the road, ten yuan a ton, but you couldn't buy anything without a ticket.
Tickets lasted almost throughout the eighties, and in Wan Feng's memory, almost everything in the city required tickets or coupons.
Whether it is food, cloth, drinks, kerosene, vegetables, meat, eggs, all need tickets, and even dung tickets and urine tickets in some places, it can be said that if the people in the city at that time did not have messy tickets in their hands, they would not be able to move an inch.
In the countryside, there are not so many coupons, at least there are no egg stamps, sugar stamps, or anything, but food stamps and cloth stamps are necessities, and some industrial products cannot be bought without supply stamps.
Coal belongs to it, and as for whether the cement wants a ticket or not, Wan Feng really can't remember.
As a large industrial province, there is no shortage of cement factories in Beiliao Province, and there were several cement factories with high output in Beiliao Province when it was first liberated.
In seven or eight years, Hongya County also built a Portland cement plant, mainly to supply local needs, and there are two types of cement, namely No. 225 and No. 325 cement.
Yes, you read that right, it's No. 225, that is, many people who are engaged in construction today don't necessarily know that there was once No. 225 cement.
No. 225 cement withdrew from the stage of history, probably in 98 or 99 years, Wan Feng can't remember, anyway, since those two years, there is no shadow of No. 225 cement on the market.
