Chapter 300 Unlimited losses
"Wen Bin, I asked you to build that container hotel before. How did it go?"
After Li Yuan drove Song Jiajia away, he continued to make phone calls.
There are many things that, given his current status, he should not be concerned about.
For example, he discussed with Hou Wenbin and his group last year to build high-end and low-end hotels.
High-end hotels will have to wait until real estate prices come down.
Low-end hotels are easy to make, similar to capsule hotels and youth hostels. They are all located in the suburbs of big cities. Whether you are driving or cycling, you can find a cheap place to stay.
Container hotels are one of these businesses, and they are a very small investment.
Li Yuan usually doesn't bother to ask about this matter.
It's like he is a super rich man who cares all day about whether the price of eggs has increased.
This project is just a supplement to high-end hotels. The supply chain system is prepared in advance, and it doesn’t cost much money at all.
Five hundred container hotels, including a central kitchen, cost less than 10 million in total.
And there are only tourists around major cities. Only 20 cities across the country meet the standards.
But now, Li Yuan had to ask, and he felt more at ease after knowing the result.
He had just put the mask machine and melt-blown cloth into use. Even though there were signs of it at the end of December, he still didn't dare to move.
Because if you move in advance, there will be conspiracy theories.
He only started to take action after the situation intensified recently. At this time, many other capitals were also taking action, so it didn't seem abrupt.
It's just that they can't quickly get mask machines and meltblown cloth.
"The overall construction has been completed, but more than half of it has not been connected to electricity. There is also a container manufacturing company we acquired that has some excess production capacity. There are currently more than 50,000 containers piled there. I would like to ask Let me know what you should do next."
Li Yuan paid for these businesses and they were responsible.
These are what they are best at, network operations and process rules. They have grown up in this environment since childhood.
They can even control the efficiency, and can do it with extremely fast efficiency or extremely slow efficiency.
"If we continue to produce and there is no room left, we will rent another place. Next, I plan to open no less than 500 container hotels across the country. This production capacity is not enough."
Li Yuan did not say that container prices will be very expensive in the future.
The current cost of a container is US$1,000. After June next year, it will be speculated to US$40,000 per container.
He continued: "The electricity must be connected as soon as possible. It must be completed within half a month. The central kitchen must also be opened. Bixin has purchased a large number of agricultural products and has begun transporting them to major kitchens. Hurry up."
"good."
Li Yuan added: "We must pay attention to the user ecology. Price is not important, what is important is service..."
He feels that he is also quite bored, spending all day promoting some service concept.
In fact, this thing will not make any money for another ten lifetimes.
Who is interested in a container hotel in a remote area? At most, people traveling by car can come and repair it. How much profit can that bring?
In terms of medical care, he purchased ventilators, ostensibly to complete the contract he signed with Mindray Pharmaceuticals.
At present, 7,000 units of the 10,000 units have been sent out, and there are still 3,000 units that have not been sent out.
People don't want it.
After all, if you want his, how can you have an excuse to purchase foreign products at a high price?
Even if the 7,000 units are sent out, there will definitely be various reselling situations, but Li Yuan can't control it.
After talking to Hou Wenbin, Li Yuan called Jiang Yiling again.
Fortunately, Jiang Yiling went back early. It was not like he could only stay in Jiangzhou. After all, those few days after the New Year were very important. Once he went back, he would not be able to come back.
Another point is that he comes into contact with a lot of people every day, and he is worried that if something goes wrong with him, he will bring trouble to the whole village when he goes back.
"Daughter-in-law, you haven't gone out these days, have you?"
Jiang Yiling: "No, it's just that Dad is a little bit dissatisfied."
"You have to endure any complaints. I'll call him later."
"Did something happen?"
"I don't know, there's nothing wrong with being careful."
"When will your husband come back?"
"It's almost time. I'll go back after the holidays in a few days."
Li Yuan quickly hung up the phone and called Li Wanhe.
He knew that many people couldn't stay at home, but he had a trump card against his father.
With just one sentence, Li Wanhe was told to stay at home.
It's very simple. Congratulations to Lao Li for having a grandson again...
Li Wanhe trembled when he heard this, because the principle in his bones told him that he could not leave his children outside.
But there was no way to take it home.
what to do? He can only ask Li Yuan for money.
If you want money, Li Yuan will do whatever he says.
Another point is that after Li Yuan said it, he would feel that the old Li family felt even more sorry for Jiang Yiling.
Finally, Li Yuan told him about the respiratory disease and asked him not to run around so as not to infect the pregnant woman.
He was already very careful. After all, Jiang Yiling also had children, and there were two younger ones in the village.
I just go for a walk at the entrance of the village every day and rarely interact with outsiders.
Now that Li Yuan said this, he no longer even thought about walking around.
Just stay at home and take care of the children, and be kinder to Jiang Yiling...
Li Yuan then called Zhou Ranran and then Shu Yanlin.
This is considered a daily task, after all, this stage is very delicate.
Not enough attention has been paid to it, and policies have not been formulated yet.
However, there has been a rush to buy masks on the market.
N95 is hyped up to 40 to 50 yuan a piece, and the cost is only 30 cents.
Yu Yue and Yao Yingsong have all been transferred back by Li Yuan.
Yu Yue is in charge of Bixin Mall, and Yao Yingsong is in charge of the production of protective clothing and masks in Qinghe County.
Because there are sufficient instruments and equipment and sufficient raw materials, production is very efficient.
N95 and medical surgery are basically produced at the same time. Most of the processes are done by machines, and there are not many processes that need to be done manually.
So we hired hundreds of people, working in two shifts, to maximize production.
The salary of employees is definitely not low. The starting salary in a small county is also 16,000, and Li Yuan will provide some subsidies in the future.
Although I have no skills, working almost non-stop for twelve hours is still very tiring.
In this way, the time came little by little to January 19th, and there were only five days left before the Chinese New Year.
Finally, the time has come, and it will be synchronized across the country on January 23.
This was also the first time that the horror of this incident was officially announced to everyone.
Suddenly, everything on the market started to be snapped up.
Bixin Mall made the official announcement immediately.
"Users who register with their real names can receive free living packs, which include 50 masks, two bottles of disinfectant, a 10KG bag of rice, and five kilograms of potatoes, radish, cabbage, and celery each."
Generally speaking, the value of this living bag is very low, a mask is only one yuan a piece, a bottle of disinfectant is only five or six yuan, rice is only forty or fifty yuan, and those vegetables are only thirty or forty yuan.
The total was less than two hundred yuan.
But it is very expensive now. Not to mention N95 masks, even ordinary ventilation masks now cost more than ten yuan each.
At this time, everyone on the entire network who receives the message will become the tap water of Bixin Mall and spread it everywhere in the group.
The first batch of certified people got the goods that afternoon.
Those who certified that night also received the goods the next morning.
Because Li Yuan had already started delivering goods to major warehouses, and all he delivered were in stock.
At the same time, the rest of the goods in Bixin Mall are also in reserve. Many people will add some oil, salt, seasonings, or other vegetables and meat when they see the goods delivered to their doorsteps so quickly.
Because of the emergence of this incident, many people have no energy to pay attention to other things.
It wasn't until Bixin started delivering supplies all over the world that everyone realized that Li Yuan, the richest man, still had a strong presence.
When they paid attention to Qingtian Capital, they found that before they knew it, the scale of Qingtian Capital had exceeded 400 billion.
Yesterday, A-shares were already on holiday...
Li Yuan did nothing else in the last ten trading days but arranged for Guo Meng to put all the money on his books into the pharmaceutical industry.
In the last ten trading days, pharmaceutical stocks have performed well, but few have closed the market, and many people have not realized how big this matter is.
I just think it is a small-scale theme hype.
Since the 19th, Jiang Yiling's phone calls to Li Yuan have not stopped.
"Husband, when will you come back? Is it serious in Jiangzhou..."
"Well, we're not allowed out now."
"Then I'll find someone to pick you up?"
"No, I still have something to do here. Just stay at home and I'll make a video call with you when I'm done these days."
After Li Yuan finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
The phone call between Yu Yue and Yao Yingsong is very important.
Yu Yue's call came.
"Boss, no one on our side dares to deliver goods now, and they are not willing to double the salary..."
"Then increase the salary, triple the salary. If triple is not enough, then quadruple it! If someone leaves, immediately find an agency and contact some part-time people to come over. Remember, the data is better connected with Bixin. Every living package There can’t be any problems!”
"Understood! However, the goods from Manager Yao are not very lucky. Recently, the transportation capacity has been greatly restricted, and the whole country is frantically squeezing transportation capacity."
"Then ask employees to drive. A van can also pull many people there. Arrange more drivers and get them there as soon as possible within a few days."
Yu Yue finally whispered: "Boss, is the price too high?"
From Yu Yue's point of view, even if Li Yuan doesn't want to make money, he can still sell at a guaranteed capital.
But everything is given away?
He knew the situation of Bixin Mall. There were more than 30 million orders on the first day, and the number increased to 180 million on the second day.
I can’t deliver it, I really can’t deliver it.
The couriers had no rest at all in the past few days. Yu Yue asked the leaders of each warehouse to directly hand out cash in order to stimulate everyone to work overtime.
Li Yuan also has costs.
The cost of 100,000 couriers and intermediate transportation links is not low.
With just over 200 million copies, Li Yuan will lose at least 10 billion.
This is still the cost price. According to the market price, it is more than 30 billion.
And it’s not just this, there will be more to come.
Li Yuan's agricultural assistance plan purchased agricultural products worth more than one billion yuan, including 80 cents for potatoes, 30 cents for radishes, 70 cents for celery, and 40 cents for cabbage, occupying half of the dozens of warehousing centers across the country.
At first he thought he was going to rot in the warehouse.
Now……
From a financial perspective, it might as well be bad.
It can only be said that Li Yuan was lucky... he happened to encounter an opportunity to give it away.
He couldn't say that Li Yuan had premeditated it, and even if he thought of it, he would never say it out of his mouth.
Li Yuan smiled and said: "What price? Do you care about the price when serving our customers?"
"In fact, according to the feedback from our couriers, many people do not need these at home... and a large part of them are certified by several members of the family at the same time, and each family is allocated several packages..."
"What does it matter? By the way, how is the tablet production situation at Honor?"
"We have almost 200,000 units in reserve now, but production capacity may be limited..."
"Let them work overtime to produce more and expand their production capacity. Then the cost will be borne by me."
The next online class will sting the self-esteem of many people, so Li Yuan decided to deliver tablets as well.
He got it at cost price, but on average, the price of each tablet is around one thousand yuan.
He can't use a configuration that's too rubbish...
"Then...should I borrow money from the bank?"
"Well, borrow it!"
Qingtian Group owes a lot of money. Counting the 200 billion borrowed from Tang Jianjun, the total debt is close to 350 billion.
The logistics and warehousing center was built with borrowed money, and the automobile production line was built with borrowed money, including the current personnel salaries.
"Okay, I'll contact the bank then."
"By the way, the supply of masks is insufficient. The delivery address belongs to the same family. Except for the first batch, only ten will be given in each subsequent pack. Priority is given to ensuring quantity."
"clear."
This kind of scene happens many times almost every day, because many decisions are particularly important at this time, and it is not easy for Yu Yue to make the decision directly.
And Li Yuan made too many enemies by doing this.
Bixin Mall gives them away for free. A family of five can definitely get enough. Will anyone in the mall buy it? Can things be sold on other platforms? Especially those who take the opportunity to stock up and prepare to resell to make a fortune, how can they hate Li Yuan to death?
In many places, I saw the couriers from Bixin Mall refusing to let me in at all.
Even their couriers were beaten up.
He will write these in the report and will not call to bother Li Yuan.
At this time, Li Yuan hung up the phone and called Song Dalong.
For Song Dalong, this period of time was both painful and happy.
The pain is that the stock price has plummeted, but the happiness is that the price of pork has skyrocketed.
The unit price of pigs for slaughter can reach 36 yuan per kilogram, and pork can now be sold for more than 30 yuan per kilogram on the market.
The performance of Song's shares will definitely skyrocket.
Especially recently, stocking up has become popular, and their pork sales here have gone crazy.
Seeing Li Yuan's phone number, he quickly answered the call.
No one can refuse to communicate with a big boss like Li Yuan, and Song Dalong still wants to continue to get close to Li Yuan. (End of chapter)
