The president of [Chaoqun Group] looked very excited.
In fact, he was also very excited.
Presidents of other group companies worry about how to improve the company's performance, how to boost the company's stock price, and how to develop new business every day!
However, in [Chaoqun Group], the potential of many old businesses has not been fully explored, and new businesses and new gold mines have been developed.
Take the [Multiple Structure Graphene Film Technology] developed by the group this time. Experts within the group have evaluated that this technology can not only reduce [Chaoqun Group]’s environmental treatment process costs by more than 35%
, the processing efficiency increased by 50%, and more importantly, it opened up a new broad business market for the group.
Desalination market!
At the end of the 20th century, the water shortage in cities across the country reached 6 billion cubic meters.
Now, the annual water shortage in rural and urban areas across the country is close to 50 billion cubic meters.
The water shortage of 50 billion cubic meters alone leaves a lot of room for imagination.
You see, taking a city in the south as an example, the water for domestic use is 2.8 yuan per ton for residents, 3.9 yuan per ton for administrative purposes, 4.1 yuan per ton for industrial and commercial water, and 4.6 yuan per ton for hotels and restaurants.
When electricity prices are stable, the cost of [Chaoqun Group]'s seawater desalination technology is only 0.5 yuan/ton - if combined with the solar power generation technology Wu Siyuan obtained in the [Mars Rescue] world, the cost of this seawater desalination technology
The cost may not be 0.3 yuan/ton.
In the face of absolute orders of magnitude, not to mention that the cost of one ton of desalinated water has been reduced by 0.2 yuan. Even if the cost of one ton is reduced by 0.02 yuan, the final total cost reduction is very exaggerated.
The factory cost of desalinated water of 0.5 yuan/ton, including transportation, losses and other costs, all added up, the cost of a ton of water reaching the final consumer will not exceed 1 yuan/ton.
For a water shortage of 50 billion cubic meters, even if [Chaoqun Group] calculates it based on the domestic water price of 2.8 yuan, then [Chaoqun Group] can still make a profit of 1.8 yuan per cubic meter. 50 billion cubic meters is 90 billion yuan.
.
This is still the most conservative estimate.
In fact, residents are not the majority of water users.
The largest water consumers are industrial water and agricultural water.
In agriculture, it takes 10 liters of water to produce 1 kilogram of wheat, 70 liters of water to produce 1 apple, and 15,415 liters of water to produce 1 kilogram of beef.
Industrial water consumption is even more exaggerated. A thin piece of A4 paper requires 10 liters of water. 1 kilogram of cowhide can only make 2 pairs of leather shoes, but the water consumption reaches 17,093 liters.
Of the nearly 50 billion cubic meters of water shortages in my country each year, many are caused by industrial water shortages and agricultural water shortages.
Although the price of agricultural water is low, farmland irrigation water charges are 0.088 yuan/cubic meter for channel raw water, 0.234 yuan/cubic meter for backbone channels, 0.036 yuan/cubic meter for final canals, and there is no charge for artesian irrigation in national reservoirs.
However, the price of industrial water is high, starting at 4.1 yuan per ton. After comprehensive calculation, the 50 billion cubic meters of water shortage alone can bring profits to Chaoqun Group of more than 100 billion yuan.
As the president of [Chaoqun Group], Huang Yuping sometimes feels sorry for Wu Siyuan's investment behavior that often involves throwing away money, and many investment behaviors do not pay attention to returns at all. For example, Wu Siyuan invested hundreds of billions of dollars in financing across the country.
In the eyes of outsiders, the scientific research industry is completely a public welfare activity and will only go in vain!
But [Chaoqun Group] just makes more and more money, and more and more money.
In 2020, [Chaoqun Group] earned more than 300 billion yuan in profits, and now only 7 months have passed in 2021, the profits earned have already exceeded 500 billion yuan. With the further popularity of [Monkey King Mobile], it is expected to
By the end of the year, [Chaoqun Group]'s profits will definitely exceed one trillion yuan.
This number is already comparable to Huaguo Tobacco's annual profits.
According to data, Huaguo Tobacco's profits in 2020 have reached 196.26 billion U.S. dollars, which is 1.27 trillion yuan when converted into RMB, and the average daily profit is about 3.5 billion yuan.
Many smokers say that they have contributed bullets to the country, but they may not be so specific about the true profits of tobacco.
There are currently 320 million smokers in China, who smoke more than 45.5 million boxes of cigarettes every year.
It's a box, not a strip, not a pack.
One box is equal to five pieces, one piece is equal to 50 pieces, which is equivalent to 250 pieces, and there are 2,500 packages.
45 million boxes equals 112.5 billion packages.
Seeing this, smokers should give themselves a round of applause!
112.5 billion packs of cigarettes. On average, 351 packs of cigarettes are smoked in a year, an average of one pack a day. A pack of cigarettes costs an average of 15 yuan, and 5 billion yuan is sold in a day.
Cigarettes are highly profitable, with a gross profit of 70%. Calculated, a profit of 1.27 trillion yuan a year is normal.
But the profits of other tobacco companies are based on national monopoly, and are contributed by so many tobacco companies across the country.
As for Chaoqun Group, it is a private enterprise.
With such high profits, not only people abroad are drooling over it, but many people in China are also keen on it.
It's just that due to some reasons, we can't attack [Super Group] directly.
After all, [Super Group] has always been very [duty] and very [patriotic]!
It is not like some companies that use technological innovation as a sign, but are actually engaged in the business of loan sharking, and the founder is low-key and does not look like a young man in his early thirties. Things like bombarding the financial system are not something that others would do.
do it.
So there is no excuse for [supervising] it.
As for the name of "monopoly", in fact, "Chaoqun Group" hardly requires its customers to choose one of the two, and it is completely consumers who choose its products spontaneously.
The only Internet product that is actually a monopoly - [Audition], people mainly make money from abroad. If no foreign country accuses it of being a monopoly, how can China have the nerve to say so?
[Chaoqun Group] does not want the money earned overseas to be placed in overseas subsidiaries to avoid taxes like [Apple Inc.], but all the money is brought to China.
The amount of taxes that should be paid has never been less, and it has even taken the initiative to assume many social responsibilities that do not belong to it.
In such an enterprise, it is difficult for some moths to attack!
But such a plate of delicious food is placed in front of them, but they can't eat it. For them, it is simply a great torture.
Especially in 2021, when [Chaoqun Group]'s major business lines have exploded and profits are rising like sesame seeds, this kind of torture will be even worse.
Wu Siyuan was widely criticized for the flood warning incident before. In fact, it was because these people secretly fueled the fire.
They want to step up to the plate and take some meat from [Super Group]. At the worst, they want to force Wu Siyuan to give up some of his interests.
But I didn't expect Wu Siyuan to know these people's thoughts very well.
Conspiracy cannot defeat technology.
Amidst the apologies, public opinion reversed, and instead the [Super Group] became immortal.
For a long time, even if they had any ideas, they could not implement them.
And Wu Siyuan can also get some quiet time, and [Chaoqun Group] will usher in a better development period.
