1489 International branch starts in Australia(1/2)
Cheng Feng's change made Yun Fei begin to doubt whether his employing policy for the company was wrong. Not everyone's talent was the same as he showed.
Perhaps, so are Wu Zhongda.
Yun Fei even wondered whether he would transfer Wu Zhongda to a sales position to see if this guy has talent in this area.
However, this is impossible.
It has entered the end of the year again. Although the company's development momentum this year is very good, Yunfei no longer has any expectations for such a result.
At the beginning, when the company's annual sales exceeded one billion, he was very excited; because when he had not come to this world, not to mention one billion, one hundred thousand would have to eat or drink for three years!
When the company's turnover exceeded 10 billion, he was still excited, but compared to the crazy thing he had when he first broke through 1 billion, he had already calmed down a lot when he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, but he was very happy
, just a little excited.
Now that the company's sales have exceeded 100 billion, he has no feeling. For him, this 100 billion is not as good as 100,000 yuan in cash in front of him to make him feel. This has become a bunch of data
, more or less, is actually not important. What matters is whether its company can operate well.
So, this year, when everyone in the company was celebrating, Yun Fei just silently accompanied his women who silently supported him behind his back, and the naughty children who ran around were just naughty children.
Spend the New Year in his villa on the South China Sea island.
Everything about the company seemed to have nothing to do with him.
Cheng Feng lived on a plane this year.
After he picked up the mobile phone bed business department, he began to prepare for his trip abroad. The technical performance, price, and uses of various important equipment of the company. Potential targets and major customers are all the main directions of his focus.
Unlike other companies' presidents, they bring a large group of assistant secretary or other things to discuss business with customers. When they ask their own secretary, assistant or professionals to negotiate with each other.
Cheng Feng was ready to do all this by himself.
In the first journey, I directly chose Australia.
Australia's iron ore is the largest mining place in the world. Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton and Vale, the world's three largest ore companies, all have large-scale mines here. With the growth of the economy in China
, The rapid development of commercial real estate and the accelerated progress of various basic projects, the demand for steel is becoming increasingly greater. Although these companies control the international iron ore prices, Chinese people must buy ore from them.
We have to follow their prices. The annual price negotiation is mainly aimed at China.
The higher the demand in China, the higher their prices will be.
However, that was in Yun Fei's original world.
Now, African countries are mining iron ore on a large scale. Although the transportation cost of these ores is high, the mining cost is negligible. Countless Zhongnuo people followed Yunshi Holdings to pour into Africa.
In China, countless small mines have been created. Although these mines are small in scale, they have achieved large quantities. Every year, more and more iron ore is transported to China. China's shipyards are desperately producing super large-scale production
iron ore sand transport ship.
Therefore, the three major ore companies are not so nervous about China's persecution.
They are seeking money. Since they cannot force China to meet their requirements politically and cannot control China with supply, they can only cooperate well.
The Chinese currently import more than 200 million tons of iron ore a year. Originally all imports were from the three major mining companies, and now forty percent of the shares are supplied by Chinese mining companies in Africa...
The three major companies hope to expand their share of exports to China.
Australia is even more eager to do so.
Therefore, this gave the Chinese company Hongqi Machinery a huge opportunity.
For Australian mining companies with a load capacity of hundreds of tons, the larger the mine truck, the better the cost, the more it can save.
Before leaving, Cheng Feng contacted the heads of the procurement department of the three major mining companies. In addition to Vale, Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton have great interest in the 500-ton dump trucks they own.
.
Two of this thing have been transported to the Cadier Iron Mine in Mauritania, West Africa. The working efficiency of four dump mine trucks is more than their fifteen units and two hundred tons! Purchase cost. Four units
Dump mine trucks are cheaper than fifteen.
"Sir, this is all the technical information of our 500-ton dump truck. It is the most practical for customers who have a huge mine like your company and need a larger transportation force. We are currently in Cardier, Africa.
You have seen the progress of the construction of the iron ore. For the Cadier Iron Mine with a reserve of 2 billion tons, our boss asked us to dig at least this iron ore in a total of twenty years from the start of construction to the last.
Half of it. Our confidence comes from this world's largest super mine truck with the largest capacity of transportation..." Cheng Feng's introduction was very inciting.
The construction speed of Cardier Iron Mine is the most amazing thing in the world.
At the beginning, the Chinese only signed the mining rights with the Mauritanian government for 20 years, which also included the construction period!
No one thinks that Chinese people can take advantage of it.
However, now the Chinese have not fully completed the construction, and they mine more than 20 million tons of iron ore from this iron mine every year. Once the railway is completed, iron ore transport ships transported from Africa to mainland China from mainland China will be carried out.
The team will cover the entire West African coast to China route. Moreover, after the railway is completed and opened to traffic, the mine will be upgraded to a super-large world-class mine with an annual output of 50 million tons in a very short time.
The Chinese people's plundering mining is more than any country!
All of this is because the Chinese suddenly have the production technology of dump trucks far exceeding the entire world.
This surprised the world.
"According to the problems we found in the actual operation of the Cardier Mine, we have made some simple auxiliary operation design modifications to this bulky and difficult-to-operate big guy. Intelligent performance monitoring of core components, hydraulic auxiliary operation device
It can make the operation more labor-saving and more flexible... At the same time, self-repairable tires are used..." These things are some of the more intimidating.
When I knew it might be sold to Australia, Yunfei said to Wu Guangliang, who was responsible for the development and design of this super heavy self-dumping cloud mine car, that he asked to install some of them to look tall and high-end. It is more timid, but it is actually
There are some useless garbage and small technical things.
In this way, the high-tech content of their products will be even higher.
These all come from Yun Fei's original world.
Those who can only perform some simple Internet access functions, like mobile phones with computer terminals, dare to call them smart phones or something, but make it impossible for people in the whole world to have more. What is intelligence?
The robots and unmanned projects in their 91st Research Institute are the real intelligence!
Obviously, Cheng Feng's introduction made these technicians at BHP Billiton very interested.
"Mr. Cheng Feng. We are really interested in your company's 500-ton mine truck. However, after accounting by our cost accounting department, even if we purchase your company's mining truck, our production costs will not decrease.
How many!" Audley, deputy director of BHP Procurement Department, said with a frown.
If the Chinese had not seen the physical objects in Africa, they would not believe that the Chinese could produce such mining cars.
This can reduce their ore production costs by at least three percent!
This is a huge temptation.
However, the Chinese people's quotations are really too high.
"Mr. Audley, our company also owns mines in Africa. There is no need to discuss how much the mining cost of this kind of mine truck has reduced ore. What do you think?" Cheng Feng smiled slightly. He thought about BHP Billiton.
He knew very clearly about the behavior of reducing the price.
But when he saw that the other party didn't think he knew how much the operating costs would drop after BHP Billiton purchased four units. "We don't know how much the cost of your company can reduce. But we use this kind of mine truck in Africa to replace the world's mainstream 200 tons.
The production cost per ton of ore is reduced by three percent…”
"It's true, Mr. Cheng, but this cannot be a reason for you to ask for prices all over the world. It is true that only your company can produce such a mine truck, but this is just now and does not mean the future. You offer two per unit.
A half million USD, compared to this price, is not much cheaper than two and a half 200-ton mining trucks…”
"The price is not much cheaper. However, we are talking about transportation costs and labor costs, which affect the cost of ore mining. Our two units have a transportation efficiency of 500 tons, which is much more than five units with 200 tons!" Cheng Feng
Emphasize this.
"But your price is still very high. It is not easy to find a driver who can drive such a large mine truck..." Audley almost had nothing to say.
"We can train drivers. Moreover, this kind of mining car does not even need a road. It is the most suitable in the Australian inland. Just like a road train..." Cheng Feng did not mock the other party. "If your party is really
If we have sincerity, we can sit down and negotiate. To show our sincerity, I can make it myself and reduce the price to 2.45 million US dollars..."
If the other party hadn't been too cunning, Cheng Feng wouldn't have been like this at all, only 50,000 yuan was missing at once.
"Two million!" Audley no longer made other excuses.
The other party understood that they were eager to promote this cooperation.
"Mr. Audley, this thing is not a cabbage. If you do not have sincerity, we don't need to continue to negotiate. This price is basically the cost price. We can't sell it at a loss for this production.
In this way, the more we sell, the more serious we lose. One unit loses more than 300,000 US dollars... Can this business be done?" Cheng Feng was very angry.
Not many people know the cost of things produced by Chinese people.
Only they know it.
The R&D funding for this 500-ton dump truck was not much, because the technology obtained from the former Soviet Union was the price of cabbage, and the cost of taking over Hongqi Machinery in Jiuyi Holdings was also very low. This technology cost was reduced again.
A lot.
The only cost they paid was the more than 5 million they invested when they produced the prototype.
This profit is actually more than three times.
"That two million and three million?"
"The lowest price is 2.4 million! Mr. Audley, if you think this price is appropriate, we can make a deal at this price. In addition, we will give you five years of after-sales service such as self-defense and maintenance..."
Cheng Feng spoke very cautiously.
To be continued...
