Chapter 53: The Division Sets Sail
Caragua Island.
"Boss, this is the latest information from Yang Mengjiao." Fili handed him a thick paper.
Li Qingye looked at it carefully.
At the end of February, the Aoba Group (Honsavady Branch) led by Ma Chi, Liu Zhifan, and Yang Mengjiao went to Yangon City in Honsavady through various channels.
After more than two months of hard work, a branch was set up in Yangon City, and then it went to Taninthari Province, the southernmost province of Honsavady, to start investment and construction.
It is currently headquartered in Dawei, the capital of Tanintdayi province, and has purchased several small islands in the area.
And Yang Mengjiao has successfully done the local black and white, this kind of small place is indeed very easy to penetrate.
Now the task of the second division is to continue to develop obscenely for a period of time, build up the glass and cement industry of the Aoba Group, and at the same time increase the penetration of Hongshawadi.
At this time, in the earthen tile area.
The 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 responsible for business and part of internal management, Ma Chi is responsible for technology and part of internal management, and Yang Mengjiao is responsible for internal supervision, and at the same time cooperates with the infiltration work of the Ministry of Security.
Usually, raising Mengjiao is basically a state in which the dragon sees the head but does not see the end.
Now in the conference room, there are six cobweb managers such as Liu Zhifan and Ma Chi.
"Zhifan, has the grinding equipment arrived?" Ma Chi asked.
Liu Zhifan nodded: "When I arrived at Dawei Port, the installation and commissioning were completed within half a month, and all of them were professional equipment customized from Huaguo." ”
"I have also completed three test-type cultivation pools here, and the current production is in good condition and meets the technical indicators." Ma Chi said as he called up the data from the biological computer and projected it on the [color butterfly screen].
A butterfly screen attached to the wall of the conference room shows a photo of the incubator.
The head of the craft department on the side took out a few boxes containing recently produced glass products.
The proportional products produced by the three cultivation 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 cultivation time is also the shortest, this kind of glass is slightly harder than the flat glass on the market, and the other physical and chemical properties are basically the same. ”
From a series of photos of the cultivation pool, the whole cultivation process of the flat glass can be seen.
The filtered seawater is introduced into the cultivation tank, and then an appropriate amount of silica powder and other excipients (such as colorants, modifiers, clarifiers, etc.) are added.
After all the raw materials are injected, the water temperature is maintained between 35.8~37.2 degrees Celsius, and finally a special hormone and nutrient solution are added, and the glass sponge will quickly enter the growth state.
After 45 hours, the glass at the bottom of the tank is 5 mm thick, and the raw materials are almost exhausted, leaving only some waste and sponge cells.
Using a gripping device to remove the glass and remove the sponge cells attached to the surface, a piece of flat glass with a length and width of 3 meters and a thickness of 5 mm is completed.
The sponge cells in the culture tank, except for the parent group at the bottom, are all removed from the remaining living cells and used as raw materials for fermenting methane.
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 cheaper than seawater, 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 low enough.
Ma Chi continued: "According to the test, the cost of low-temperature glass is mainly concentrated in nutrient solution, hormones and ground silica powder, and the equipment cost is much lower than that of high-temperature glass. ”
"How much lower than high-temperature glass?" Liu Zhifan is very concerned about this issue.
"The cost is 85~96% lower, which means that we can rely on low prices to impact the entire glass market in Southeast Asia and South Asia in the early stage."
Liu Zhifan wrote down these data: "What about glass bottles and tempered glass? ”
"The cost of a specific shape of glass bottle will be higher than that of flat glass, while tempered glass needs to be processed twice, and raw materials also need to be adjusted, and the cost is about 50~60% of ordinary tempered glass." Ma Chi said like a few treasures.
Others also reported on their own departments.
Because the production process of low-temperature glass and coral cement is different from traditional technology, not only does it reduce energy consumption, but also the production line requires a lot less production equipment.
For example, the production line of low-temperature glass only needs cultivation tanks, injectors, grabbing machines, pumps, filter tanks, water temperature regulators, postpartum cell cleaning machines, conveyor belts, cutting tables, as well as equipment and grinding equipment for mining quartz stone.
The production line of coral cement is similar.
The Aoba Group has enclosed a piece of wasteland with an area of 50,000 acres near Dawei Port, and at the same time obtained the mining rights of local quartz mines and limestone mines.
Establish a cement and glass production base here, and at the same time take advantage of the transportation convenience of the Dawei port to export glass products to South and Southeast Asia.
However, Liu Zhifan understands that export foreign trade depends on cost performance and opportunities, and many enterprises have their own suppliers, and it is impossible to change suppliers all at once because of the low price of Aoba Group.
However, in the local market of Honsavady, those small glass factories are definitely not the opponents of the Aoba Group.
But he didn't want to rely only on glass and cement, after listening to everyone's situation, Liu Zhifan came up with his own plan: "I plan to enter the beverage industry, and the FMCG industry will be better." ”
"FMCG? Drink? 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 bottles?" The horse gallop reacted.
"Yes, it's 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 flipped out a copy of the information and put it on the screen.
"It's the difference in cost between glass bottles and plastic bottles, and although glass bottles can be recycled and reused, the cost of traditional glass bottles is still high."
He called up another piece of information: "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 not low." It was also the first time that Ma Chi found that the packaging cost of a carton of milk accounted for about 20~30% of the sales price.
Liu Zhifan said with confidence: "The production cost of our glass bottles is much lower than that of plastic bottles, even if we sell mineral water, we can kill other enterprises." ”
"Selling mineral water?" The head of the process department calculated and found that the mineral water process is not difficult, they only need to import a set of water treatment equipment, plus a set of tinplate bottle cap production line, and basically can form a mineral water production line.
When the time comes, they will first fight a price war, roll up their counterparts in Honsavady, and enter the entire Southeast Asian market with technology and price advantages, and they can completely dominate the beverage industry.
Soon Ma Chi and others agreed to Liu Zhifan's beverage strategy.
They will sort out these things and report them to headquarters on a regular basis.
