493: Alarming the Emperor
Sun Haosheng belongs to the kind of thing that he sees as long as he sees it, he will immediately do it without hesitation, there is no shortage of this kind of person in history, and if this kind of person is in politics, then it may be two extremes, and if he is in business, it will also be two extremes, but no matter which extreme, as long as he has the mind to study, then it will inevitably be found that the most successful businessman will definitely be this kind of person.

Timid, at most, they can only achieve a little success, compared with those red-top businessmen, they still have a big gap in momentum.
Say just do it, but not blindly, Sun Haosheng dared to take out a loan directly, and then put a hundred trucks into the experiment at one time, and just a week later, he dared to put all the remaining money into it, as for the funds reserved in his hands, if it were not for the company's development needs funds, it is estimated that he would invest all the money left.
The popularity of the transportation industry, in fact, is also an inevitable trend, the carrying capacity of the train is indeed good, and the price is relatively cheap, but there are only so many domestic trains, and at present it is still mainly military transportation, half of the domestic trains carry basically military materials, such as food purchased from all over the country, a million soldiers on the front line, a person a day according to a pound of rice or noodles to calculate, then a day is a million pounds of consumption, that is, 500 tons.
The full load of a wagon carriage is 30 tons, so the front line needs 17 wagons to meet the food needed for a day, plus prisoners, pacifying the Russian people, etc., so the food needs of the front line for a day need at least 20 wagons to meet.
It takes half a month for the train to run from Zhongjing to the front line, which means that if the train departs from Zhongjing, then at least one grain car must be sent out every day, and there must be at least 30 trains to ensure that the front-line military food is not affected, and the Chinese Empire will never let the troops fall into the point of having no food to eat, so there are 35 trains to transport grain alone, and the excess grain is temporarily stored there.
The consumption of ammunition is greater than that of food, and the weight of ammunition is heavier than that of food, so even if it reaches the weight of a single carriage, it is difficult to fill the inside of the carriage, so there are 60 trains that provide ammunition support for the front-line troops in China, and they are transported day and night, only in this way can we ensure that the front-line troops can launch a large-scale war at any time, and will not be short of ammunition due to sudden reasons.
What about the other stuff? For example, the total number of trains currently owned in China is about 200, but the most basic ones for military purposes are also 95, and other trains are often temporarily requisitioned, so the trains that are really used for civilian freight are actually less than 50 units, and if they are distributed to the whole country, the number is even more pitiful.
So, if you want to rely on rail transportation, then you need to be more patient, and you also need to be prepared to board for a month or two.
It is precisely for these reasons that some businessmen in China are reluctant to use rail transportation, because you don't know when it will be your turn, and what businessmen lack most is time.
Although the old animal power transportation mode is convenient, but the speed is too slow, the cost is relatively high, and the cost of short-distance transportation is not much, but the cost of long-distance transportation is more obvious.
And there is an unexpected benefit of truck transportation, Boss Zhao's batch of goods, all loaded that night, and then under Liu Dali's arrangement, the convoy set off overnight, although the night road is not easy to walk, but now there is no such feeling, but the night road is better than the daytime, as long as the driver is not sleepy, on the road can basically go all the way.
Because people don't go out at night, they don't have any nightlife, driving at night is basically a special lane, and you can almost increase the speed to the fastest along the way.
The car departed at about ten o'clock that night, and at one o'clock in the morning the next day, the truck delivered the goods to the location, and the speed was beyond everyone's imagination. Although the newspaper advertisements had not yet been published at the time, the speed of the team was impressive.
So, under the contact of Boss Zhao's customer, three of the seven trucks returned on the same day, and pulled more than 20 tons of goods, and arrived at the location before dark.
In this kind of one-to-one, coupled with the overwhelming propaganda policy of the newspaper, Yuntong Transportation Company quickly opened the market, coupled with several agitation efforts, many customers also believed in their speed, so they also transferred a batch of goods to them for transportation.
And the end result is also exciting, if it is a fixed line of the transport company, then it can be reached in two days, and if it is a special designated line of other companies, it can be reached in four days within the whole province. Arrived in all parts of the province in four days, which is also the latest record.
In the next week, the company had to exert all its energy to ensure transportation, if it is a fixed line of the national highway, then rush day and night, if it is a designated line, then rush during the day, rest at night, if you are familiar with the road conditions, you can also rush at night.
At the same time, the standard two drivers on each truck were replaced by three drivers, and one or two apprentices were added, and at the same time, 90 drivers were transferred from the original fleet to Luoyang to drive back 90 of the 150 new trucks.
And this week, the net profit of Yuntong company is also crazy to break through 30,000 yuan, in addition to the hot business, there is another reason, that is, truck drivers are more and more familiar with the car conditions, plus this half a month also as much as possible to fix their line, run which line as far as possible so that they only run this line, and the purpose of this is to make them more familiar with the road conditions, so that they can also drive normally at night.
It is precisely because of this decision that other routes other than the fixed line of the national highway, after running a few times, also began to gradually drive slowly at night, and then gradually increased the speed, in a fixed time, the more times they run, the more profits.
The opening of nearly half a month, it has brought a net profit of 50,000 yuan to Yuntong Company, with an average net profit of 33.33 yuan per car per day, if you remove other costs and taxes, then the average car has earned about 50 yuan per day, this profitability is extremely terrifying, and it is absolutely unimaginable.
According to the charging standard of 2 yuan per ton of cargo 100 kilometers, if it is fully loaded, the cost of a car is 20 yuan, and if the distance is 200 kilometers, it is 40 yuan.
The combination of two drivers is to help them solve this problem, even if they have to run 400 kilometers a day, the average is less than 20 kilometers per hour, plus the speed is faster at night, so it can still be done, but the only thing to worry about is whether the driver can withstand this pressure for a long time.
It doesn't matter in the army, they have all undergone military training, this level of pressure is simply drizzle, but this is not the army, so Liu Dali has to step up the training of new drivers, led by the old driver of a hundred cars with one or two apprentices to follow, and at the same time sent five hundred people to Luoyang to learn to drive, and Sun Haosheng has also stated that if the business can continue like this, then it is not excluded to get involved in the whole country in the future.
The business of Yuntong Company is booming, and it has indirectly led to the boom of business in other industries, and this situation soon burned to the entire Henan Province.
Nakyo, inside the study of the Imperial Palace.
"I really can't imagine that this Yuntong company still has such a capable person, and in just half a month, it can make a profit of 50,000 yuan." Listening to the report, Wang Sirui couldn't help laughing, it is difficult for an ordinary private company to enter Wang Sirui's sight, but this time it is an exception, because this Yuntong company has helped Wang Sirui a lot.
"Yes, the minister didn't expect it, so he ordered someone to investigate this company, and the results were unexpected. They had five shareholders who had borrowed two million from the Imperial Bank, and one of them had injected another 300,000 yuan, and their man at the helm was also a decisive man, and immediately placed an order for another 150 trucks after the initial experimentation of the model as feasible. And the most unexpected thing for us is that they actually dug up a retired captain and company commander of the baggage unit from the Luoyang truck factory, and it was under the dispatch of this retired captain and company commander that Yuntong Company showed a strong transportation capacity, and was able to create a net profit of 50,000 yuan in just half a month, and pay nearly 7,000 taxes for the empire in half a month. Wang Shizhen didn't expect that the Yuntong company would be able to burst out of this potential in a short period of time, until the following people reported that some merchants in the province had recently fought a price war to squeeze the business of other merchants, and after some investigation, he noticed this Yuntong company.
There are two kinds of taxes on enterprises in the empire, one is business tax, which has different tax standards according to different industries, and the transportation industry is a new industry, and there is no division of business tax in this regard, but when the company is registered, it is classified into the loading and unloading industry, which is three percent of the turnover.
The other is corporate income tax, which is charged according to the net profit, the tax rate is 20 percent, and 20 percent of the net profit of 50,000 is 10,000, but because this year is the last year of the tax halving, so you can only get 5,000, but the business tax of 1.5 percent is also more than 1,000, and this month, it is estimated that you can pay nearly 20,000 taxes.
