Chapter 219 The Essence of Machinery Costs
Li Huayong went to his office with Lu Yuquan, and after arriving at the office, Lao Lu did not talk too much nonsense, and directly handed Li Huayong a statistical table, which recorded the "subscription" of that batch of construction machinery.
Li Huayong watched with interest, and he found that only a year later, more than half of the construction machinery worth more than 10 million yuan had been subscribed, especially those ordinary excavators, loaders and dump trucks, which had almost been subscribed. Only those large dump trucks and those large long-arm excavators produced by Lao Maozi have not yet been purchased.
This situation is also expected by Li Huayong, super large dump trucks and large excavators, strictly speaking, this already belongs to the category of "mining machinery", most construction sites do not need to use this equipment, and this kind of equipment is very valuable, much more expensive than ordinary construction machinery, so it is normal that it is not subscribed.
"Hey, I really didn't see it, it turns out that this kid is quite rich, he used to see that he didn't show mountains and waters, but this time he actually bought two at once. ”
The subscription methods of this batch of construction machinery are also varied, the most common is one person to subscribe to one, such as rotten blue and scar Xiang them, there are also a few people to pool money to buy one, "Dasheng" is the maintenance team leader Zhang Sheng, among all people, only he bought two.
Lu Yuquan obviously wants to be more familiar with those Xiangjiang workers, he said to Li Huayong: "Compared with Rotten Boy and Scar Xiang, Dasheng's usual income is not higher, but Dasheng is usually more frugal, and this person is also more investment-minded, where is like Scar Xiang's guy, a little money is spent on eating, drinking and having fun, and he usually can't save money at all, this time he can buy the next one, I heard that he also found someone to make up some money." ”
Li Huayong smiled: "What about Rotten Boyblue? It stands to reason that Rotten Boy Blue should be richer, what is his situation?"
"Well, Rotten Boy Blue's personality is more calm than Scar Xiang, but he was born in a crane, compared to these things, he is more interested in cranes, by the way, he asked me last time, isn't there still a lot of cranes in the company, he asked if these equipment companies can be sold?"
The crane has nothing to do with the construction machinery company that everyone co-opened, because these are the fixed assets of the original "Kowloon Construction", and now theoretically belong to Lao Lu personally. However, Li Huayong still said to Lao Lu;
"I think it's okay, but I don't think what he wants to buy is a large-tonnage tank crane on the construction site, right?"
Lao Lu smiled: "He also has to afford this kind of big guy, in addition to the two cranes in the mainland, there are several small cranes under 25 tons at home, and the one that rotten boy blue fants." ”
Like most construction machinery, ordinary small equipment is actually more versatile. Take the kind of small crane under 25 tons as an example, in addition to its normal lifting function, it can sometimes use this equipment for pouring concrete.
"Uncle Quan, if I were you, then I would sell, as long as my subordinates are willing, even if they buy all the company's equipment, I have no opinion, the more they sell, the happier I am, and the more I buy, the more it proves that the company is prosperous." ”
Lao Lu stared at Li Huayong angrily and funny: "Xiao Li, it's not that I said you, I've never seen you as a boss like this, everyone knows that when you open a machinery company, we all only earn a little mechanical fee, but you guys are good, and you have to give up this part of the profits." Xiao Li, I know that this will help unite people and stabilize the team, which is very necessary for a company that has just been acquired, but ......"
Li Huayong said confidently: "What? Uncle Quan, you're still worried that this will affect our money, right? You can put 10,000 hearts at this and take my approach, I promise that we will only make more money in the future." ”
"Hehe, Xiao Li, are you so confident?"
Li Huayong smiled at Lao Lu, "Of course, if you don't believe it, let's just wait and see." I think so, isn't this engineering fleet already in operation for half a year last year, and we don't have to pick too long, just half a year, and after half a year of operation in this mode this year, we will calculate the account again to see if this year's profits will be lower. ”
"Okay, we'll see it then. ”
Of course, Li Huayong is very confident in his own set, which is the experience of so many years of construction practice in his previous life. In his previous life, around 05 years, Li Huayong worked as a project manager in a domestic project, and he was deeply impressed by a project example.
It was a municipal project, helping an industrial development zone to do "three links and one leveling", the main work content was a large earthwork first, and then a few factory roads were repaired on the leveled site. Of course, this kind of project is not much difficult from a technical point of view, but just as the site leveling work is about to end, there is a little trouble when preparing to build the road embankment.
The stone party encountered on the construction site, it is said that it is normal to encounter the stone work, but the stone party at the construction site is annoying: the stone there is not very hard, it belongs to the kind of "sub-hard stone", which ordinary excavators can't dig, but if you use the commonly known "hook machine" equipped with a crushing hammer, it can still deal with that kind of stone.
Originally, the most common method for doing this kind of project was to use blasting, but considering that the procedures for doing the blasting project were really a bit troublesome, not only to go to the public security bureau for the record, but also to invite the local civil explosive company, and considering that the amount of work in this item was actually not large, so Li Huayong, who was the project manager at that time, made a decision and asked his contractor to use a "hook machine" to deal with this kind of stone.
According to the market at that time, the rent of the hook machine was about 800 yuan an hour. At that time, Li Huayong had two contractors, one of whom was a local, because he was familiar with the locals, so he could rent a relatively cheap hook machine. As for the other contractor, he is a foreigner, so he can only rent equipment according to normal market conditions.
Since the unit price of that project was not high at the time of bidding, Li Huayong could not give the two contractors much more than the price. Li Huayong calculated at that time that if it was calculated at 800 yuan an hour, the two contract foremen would not be able to make money, and it would be good to ensure that they would not lose money.
However, when the project was completed, a strange thing appeared, the local contractor shouted that he had lost money, and asked Li Huayong to pull the skin several times, but the foreign contractor did not say a word, according to Li Huayong's understanding, he also made a small profit in this single project.
Li Huayong was a little strange, and afterwards he asked the field contractor how he did it?
The foreman of the out-of-town contractor told Li Huayong the truth: "What else can I do? It is nothing more than to serve the hook driver as a bodhisattva, and provide good cigarettes and wine every day." He gave two packs of cigarettes when he got on the hook and a bottle of water when he got off the hook, and that's what I did to make sure I didn't lose money here. ”
Li Huayong suddenly realized at that time. At the same time, Li Huayong was also deeply touched.
Everyone often says that making machinery costs machinery costs, and this field contractor is the one who really understands the essence of machinery costs. How much money can be made by doing construction machinery, that is really not something you can calculate sitting at home, because a large part of the profit is in the hands of the operator.
It is precisely because this foreign contractor understands this truth that he makes a profit, but what about the local contractor, because he doesn't understand this truth, he only knows how to settle dead accounts, so he loses money.
Li Huayong's current approach is actually similar to that of the out-of-town contractor. And even further. The out-of-town contractor relied on "good cigarettes and good wine", while Li Huayong directly tied the interests of Rotten Boy Blue and Scar Xiang and others to himself.
Therefore, Li Huayong is convinced: by doing so, he will give up part of his profits on the surface, but in the end, he may make more money.
