Chapter 174: Overcapacity?

"What does this kid want to do? Buy four ironclad cities to feed the 'Red Sugar Cube'? Who the hell came up with this name, it's so ugly! ”

Cordien looked at the details of the 'purchase list' in his hand and scolded angrily.

In fact, after investing in the 'Gubao Sugar Company' the day before yesterday, I regretted it after paying the money, 550,000 silver bull coins, enough to buy a small ironclad city, so much money, what to do is not good, to invest in the bullshit sugar company, isn't my head in water!

I don't know how to get a hot head, and I was 'fooled' by others!

It is true to say that the flesh hurts, but the money has already been handed over to the Castle, and if he wants to ask for it back, I'm afraid it will not be so easy, he understands the reason, so he endured the discomfort in his heart, and did not ask Li Yinguang to make trouble.

It's just that I haven't thought about tea and rice in the past two days, and I've lost a few pounds of hunger!

Now when I saw Li Yinguang sending it over, the so-called 'purchase list', my eyes turned red.

Five ironclad cities, with one swallowing four, upgraded a 'Red Sugar Cube'?

Isn't this a loser!

600,000 silver bull coins, what's wrong with so much money, buy and upgrade the ironclad city for the refugees, how much money is there, there is nowhere to spend it?

In addition to the Iron Armored City, hundreds of mechanical vehicles, a large number of weapons and equipment, as well as winter clothing, tent bedding, a workshop for shaving sweet grass and vine roots, and boiling sugar, used so many mechanical vehicles, weapons and equipment?

"I think this is a fake public and private, fattening their own pockets, purchasing hundreds of thousands of silver cow coins of materials at a time, Young Master Ben doesn't believe that they will not be tired in private!"

Codien angrily slapped the table and yelled at his men.

One is angry, and the other is distressed!

You must know that among these silver coins, there are 550,000 silver bull coins of your own!

The other major shareholders had mixed reactions to the 'purchase list' sent by the Castle Iron City, some expressed their happiness, others frowned, and some cursed in private like Cordion.

However, the money is on the books of the 'Gubao Sugar Company', and the sugar company is completely managed by Li Yinguang, so how the money is spent, isn't it all up to others!

How much money was spent, what was bought, and people could send someone to send an excessive 'purchase list', which is already considered benevolent and righteous!

"Have you hired any of the staff?"

Li Yinguang asked the butler Goda.

There are mechanical vehicles and weapons, but it still can't change the fact that the employees of the sugar company are a group of refugees and a rabble.

There are even some people who don't know how to drive vehicles and use the weapons and equipment they have purchased, so someone has to teach them how to do it.

From mechanical driving, to the use of weapons and equipment, to daily combat training, someone needs to be taught.

"According to your orders, I went to the 'Mercenary Association' today, and the other party promised to send a team of thirty training instructors to help the sugar company train personnel."

The butler Goda paused slightly, and said in a low voice: "However, the fees of the 'Mercenary Association' are not very cheap, thirty people, half a month, the price is fifteen thousand silver bull coins, and finally bargaining, and finally talked about nine thousand silver bull coins!" ”

Li Yinguang smiled bitterly and said: "It's really not cheap, each person needs twenty silver cow coins per day!" ”

"Isn't it!" Butler Goda nodded along with him.

"This is also a helpless thing, no one teaches this group of people to always be a rabble, even if this money hurts, we have to spend it!" Li Yinguang paused, and continued: "But try to make it worth the price!" ”

"Go back and tell Song Changsheng, Mu Yunying and them, when the mercenary instructors invited to train, whoever is disobedient will give me a whip and whip me hard, within half a month, mechanical vehicle driving, weapon and equipment use, daily training and other basic things, if anyone does not meet the standard, then there is no need to enter the escort team, I will be rushed to do coolies, dig sweet grass vines, and see who dares to be lazy!"

"Yes!" Butler Goda smiled.

Spending nearly 10,000 silver bull coins to invite 30 instructors from the mercenary association to train the employees of the sugar company, I am afraid that only Li Yinguang is willing to do it.

Li Yinguang's purpose is very simple, he does not want this rabble to become elites, but the technology that should be controlled must be mastered, and he must have a certain combat quality, and he can't prepare everything for them.

Although it may not be possible to cultivate combat quality in half a month, I believe that there will always be gains from continuous and unremitting training.

"Usually sweat more, but when it comes to actual combat training, you can shed less blood, I hope everyone can understand this truth!" Li Yinguang muttered softly.

In the evening, the old dog returned.

"How's it going today?" Li Yinguang asked.

The old dog shook his head: "There is nothing wrong, the total output of the three sweet grass vine excavation points has reached 220,000 kilograms, and the production capacity of red sugar cubes has also reached 180,000 kilograms, which is faster than expected." ”

Thirty-six thousand catties?

Li Yinguang nodded with satisfaction, if this value is spread, it is estimated that the shareholders who have invested in the 'sugar company' must be crazy.

"The total number of employees of the sugar company is more than 3,200 people, of which there are about 1,800 coolies responsible for digging and mining sweet grass vines, three mining areas, about 600 people in each mining area, and about 400 people in the transportation group, and the remaining people are responsible for deep processing of sweet grass vines, cleaning, crushing, juicing, and finally entering the boiling process, and the speed has been accelerated by more than one-third after the division of labor." The old dog briefly introduced.

"Not bad!"

Li Yinguang nodded and asked the housekeeper Goda, "How about the brown sugar shipments in the town?" ”

The housekeeper Goda shook his head: "Irma is in charge of this matter, I don't know too well!" ”

Li Yinguang said with a smile: "Your wife is about to give birth, and you still let her do this, is there no one in the Iron Armor City?" ”

"I'm not at ease when someone else is responsible!"

Irma pushed open the door and walked in, snorting coldly and said, "Today, less than four thousand catties of red sugar cubes were sold in the town, and the sales were far from as expected!" ”

Looking up at Li Yinguang: "Moreover, many of them are predetermined red cube sugars, and now Mambach Town can consume about 30,000 cups of 'sugar water' at noon and night, which is converted into a maximum of 500 catties of red cube sugar." According to this value, even if Mambach Town can sell 100,000 cups of sugar water a day, it will consume 1,500 catties of red sugar cubes a day at most. ”

The 'Red Sugar Cube' can now produce more than 36,000 catties of red sugar cubes per day, and according to Irma, the production capacity has been seriously overcapacity, and the red sugar cubes produced cannot be sold in a short period of time, and can only be piled up in the warehouse.

Li Yinguang said with a smile: "Even if you can only consume 500 catties of brown sugar a day, that month is 15,000 catties, if you say that you reach the peak of 100,000 cups, then you can consume 45,000 catties of red sugar cubes every month." Don't forget, this is the place! ”

He looked up at the butler Goda and asked, "The salesmen of those sugar companies, do you have any news back?" ”

The housekeeper Goda nodded: "The camp of the supply point in the snowy wasteland costs 5,000 catties of red sugar, the miners' camp in the iron ore field in Zhenbei costs 3,000 catties, the temporary camp of the ancient battlefield in Zhenbei costs 4,000 catties, and the camp of the ninth monitoring point costs 20,000 catties, and there is no news from other remote villages and towns!" ”

Li Yinguang asked with some surprise: "What is the situation in the camp of the ninth monitoring point, why do you want so much?" ”

The housekeeper Goda shook his head: "The specifics are not very clear, you need to ask the business personnel sent over!" ”

Lan Ling said from the side: "The ninth monitoring point belongs to the Imperial Legion sequence, even if you can't use it yourself, you can put it in the warehouse as a reserve material, so there will be more purchases!" ”

Li Yinguang touched his chin and muttered, "So that's the case!" ”

Irma frowned and said: "Even if there are orders from several major camps, all of them are added together, and the number is only tens of thousands of catties, and the production capacity of the Red Sugar Cubes can meet the needs of all places in one day!" ”

Li Yinguang smiled: "Don't worry, this will not be the case forever in the future, we have to take a long-term view, we are not afraid of large production capacity, we are afraid that sales will come up, and then the production capacity will not be able to keep up, then it will make people worry!" ”

When the business channels are rolled out, there are thousands of villages and towns in the area of Mambach Town, even if it only consumes 100 kilograms per month, which is not a small number every month.

"And in the future, the production capacity of the Red Sugar Cubes may not be able to maintain this output!" Li Yinguang said in a thoughtful whisper.

"The boss is worried that the speed of the 'sweet grass vine' excavation can't keep up?" The old dog quickly understood what the city lord was worried about.

At the current digging speed of the sugar company, more than 200,000 kilograms a day, and soon the area of sweet grass and vines outside the town will be dug up.

Without the Sweet Grass Vine, the production capacity on the Red Sugar Cubes will naturally drop.

"Sweet grass vine is not an inexhaustible material, and now only we are mining, and when someone reacts in the future and takes 'sweet grass vine' as a material and excavates it, the cost will increase. So, tell Song Changsheng that they dig as many sweet grass vines as possible before the people in the town have reacted! Li Yinguang nodded.

The process of boiling red sugar cubes is not complicated, and when someone explores and studies thoroughly, the value of 'sweet grass vine' will be highlighted, and not everyone will join the 'sugar making' industry at that time, but organizing people to go out of the city to dig sweet grass vine may not be done.

Relatively speaking, the risk factor of excavating and mining sweet grass vine rhizomes outside the town is not high, and it can be operated by employing some refugees and engaging in some excavation machinery, which can completely replicate the model of the 'Gubao Sugar Company'.

By that time, there would be more teams digging and mining sweet grass vines, and it would be difficult for sugar companies to imagine that it was as easy to dig sweet grass vines as they are now.

"Take advantage of the absence of competitors, increase the mining and excavation of sweet grass vine rhizomes, and store as much red cube sugar as possible to cope with the changing market in the future!"
