"Don't have too much hope!" Lin Mo reminded. He had just seen the information related to these exchanges. The situation of the Shanghai Securities Exchange was not optimistic. He estimated that the other party was either trying to trick him or making random promises.
.
“The current situation of the Shanghai Securities Exchange is not optimistic, because some of its trading categories overlap with other exchanges, violate relevant national laws, and are facing the risk of being shut down.
In June last year, its securities department was merged into the Shanghai Huashang Stock Exchange, and now its gold industry department is about to be merged into the Shanghai Gold Industry Exchange. These are the main categories that are more active, and there are many other categories in the remaining categories.
They overlap, such as cotton yarn, cotton cloth, grain and oil, etc., all overlap with cotton yarn, miscellaneous grains and oil cakes.
As for its unique products, such as fur, the trading volume and transaction volume are relatively limited, which is difficult to support the exchange. Coupled with the impact and impact of changes in silver prices, the Shanghai Articles Stock Exchange is estimated to have a high probability.
It is already on the verge of bankruptcy, so don’t hold out too much hope.”
After hearing this, Herbert was shocked. He had heard the other party's boast before and thought that the situation was getting better and that a great business was about to happen, but he did not expect that they themselves were about to go bankrupt.
"What should we do?" Herbert felt numb. Because the business had just started, he was not very familiar with various relationships. His previous partners were basically concentrated on the Lin family and related parties. He wanted to start a business.
Naturally, it was not easy to ask them about the new channels. As a result, he almost got himself trapped and wasted a lot of time. Now that he had not much time left to plan on this matter, he had to turn to Lin for help.
silent.
Lin Mo saw this, thought for a moment, and said: "Anyway, you can't hope to ship large quantities in places like exchanges, but you can look for a market where fur trading is relatively concentrated, which is similar to a vegetable market or a fish market.
If there is no suitable fur market of this type and you have a large volume of goods, you can still get a few places by yourself. After all, as long as the transaction volume increases, the market will naturally gradually form, and shipping channels will naturally follow.
But there is one thing. China’s fur output is not low, and its export volume is also large. The fur you sell can be resold because it is large in quantity and cheap. However, domestic fur processing capacity is limited, and a large amount of fur raw materials must be exported every year.
, so limited by processing capacity, the volume of goods that these channels can consume is also relatively limited.
My suggestion is to build your own fur-related processing factory, process the fur and then sell it. After processing the tanning, slitting, repairing, sewing and other processes yourself, process the fur into unified goods similar to cloth, standard goods, and sell them.
Later, after others cut and sew it like cloth, it can be made into clothing, fur mattresses and other products, which should be able to greatly expand the market. After all, normal fur processing is very cumbersome and has a high threshold.
Because the rabbit skins here are of lower quality and cheaper, but the production is stable and the quantity is huge, the feasibility of this operation is very high, and for low-end price products, consumers have more concerns about the color, thickness of the hair, etc.
The high tolerance greatly reduces the difficulty of producing standard goods and unifying the fur. Of course, whether it is feasible or not depends on you, a professional, to judge."
At first I thought it was a bit taken for granted, but when I thought about it more I found that it was not impossible. The main reason was that the raw materials were really abundant. Only after I went to Australia did I realize how many rabbits there are, even the walls of the factory where they process rabbit skins without meat.
, it can be pierced by rabbits, and it can even run around inside. It is weird to drive out without running over a rabbit. You can tell me whether it is outrageous or not!
The quantity is so huge that even if you only cut out a small part of the rabbit skin with the best quality, it is probably possible and you can still make a profit. Of course, this is not suitable for adoption. The feasibility of this plan is,
It lies in abundant and cheap raw materials, as well as reducing the difficulty and cost of fur processing.
In the past, the reason why Australian rabbit skins were so cheap and not easy to sell was that they were sold in large quantities and could not be sold at a high price. However, the cost of fur processing was relatively high, because in conventional fur processing, the hair quantity, hair length, hair thickness, etc.
Coat color matching, etc. are all important considerations. It requires a lot of effort and a high technical threshold. The artificial gap with other high-end furs is not very big.
Therefore, no matter how low the cost of rabbit skin is, the processing cost will drive up the selling price to a very high level. The large quantity of Australian rabbit skin will also drive down the price of the finished product. The product will not be sold at a high price and there will be no profit.
, there will be fewer stores used for natural purchasing, and sales will naturally not be booming.
Lin Mo's plan is to nakedly reduce the cost of fur processing to an extremely low level. Even if everything goes well, these unified goods and standard goods may only be the lowest grade among furs, but fur has not been a bargain since ancient times, even if it is no longer cheap.
Even if it's low, it won't be sold at cabbage price.
But the cost of their raw materials is a serious cabbage price. Of course, they certainly cannot afford to maintain the quality of this kind of fur products. They must be facing the ordinary people's market, and their profits mainly rely on volume, but
Only the huge market of ordinary people can digest the huge output potential there. After all, if the market is opened up and it becomes profitable, but the output there also soars, and the market cannot bear it, then it will be in vain.
Busy?
Moreover, the beauty of this solution is that it can be directly made into standard goods similar to cloth, which can greatly lower the entry barrier for shops and even factories that manufacture and sell related products, and can quickly spread these goods.
"...The plan is feasible..." Herbert nodded and added: "However, this processing method is expected to require a lot of manpower. The population there is really small. I am worried that I will not be able to recruit so many people for production, or that the workers will be replaced."
The price is raised higher, which in turn drives up costs.
I wonder if we can jointly build a related factory here with the Lin family? Then the fur will be transported here and then processed into related products. Technology is not a problem. The threshold for ordinary processing is not too high. Some
It’s not difficult for me to purchase processing machinery and equipment on your behalf.”
After listening to this, Lin Mo thought for a moment and asked: "How long will it take to complete the project and put it into production? What I mean is that it will have a high processing capacity."
After hearing this, Herbert estimated for a while and replied: "If there is a suitable ready-made site, it can be almost ready in two or three months. Some machines may take about half a year, but the impact of the presence or absence of machines is not too big. The impact of machines
The main thing is the efficiency, you can put it into production first and then gradually add more machines."
Lin Mo nodded, as long as it didn't need to be calculated in years, it would be better to place this kind of processing of supplied materials in a place with convenient coastal shipping. However, according to the normal historical process, it has been less than three years since the war started.
The short time it takes to put into production shows that the investment is not too high. Light industry is also a light asset. The cost should be roughly recovered in three years. Moreover, the reason for getting involved in this business is not to make a lot of money, but mainly to provide some help to Herbert. Three
Years should be enough for him to grow to a certain level. Of course, it is definitely better to make money without losing money.
"I have agreed to this matter on behalf of the Lin family, and will ask them to help as much as possible. However, the domestic situation is not stable, so we cannot put all our hopes here, so when you are on the right track, you must immediately start making other arrangements.
.
In addition, it is up to you to set up a company and operate related businesses. The processing plant you set up will only do processing business. First, after this business is launched, the business will definitely not be limited to domestic. If the company you are in charge of comes forward to contact you, it will definitely be more
convenient.
On the other hand, the company you control will have more convenience when conducting import and export business here, and it can save a lot of trouble and avoid a lot of troubles in the future."
Herbert nodded. It was great to be able to give him so much help. Even the ideas were given by others. Why was he dissatisfied?
After discussing and finalizing some details, Lin Mo thought for a while and said: "Old He! Follow me and the Lin family, you don't have to be too outspoken. If you need help, just ask, and those who can help will definitely be helped.
For matters that are beneficial to the development and growth of the company, we will definitely not stop it. Not to mention our friendship, we still have shares in the company! As you grow and develop, we will also earn from you and our interests.
They are one and the same person."
"...I understand..." Herbert was a little ashamed, but also a little touched. Being able to travel thousands of miles away to open a small leather goods shop in a foreign country, courage and courage are one thing, but if he has a choice, he also has
How many people would be willing? The word "one of one's own people" carries a lot of weight to him.
"In addition, after the company develops to a certain level, if there are suitable partners, such as alliances, those who should be recruited must also be absorbed into the company, or they may serve as upstream and downstream or traders, partners, etc., to carry out interests.
Jointly, if necessary, we can inject funds to hold shares in each other..."
Lin Mo gave Herbert some good advice on business cooperation. After all, he was just a leather goods shop owner before, so he probably didn't know much about these aspects as he did through hearing and seeing.
Originally, he was not prepared to say this to him at this time. He was planning to wait until he had grown to a certain level and then remind him and make arrangements based on the situation. However, if the business he proposed today can be promoted normally, the company will probably be established soon.
It will usher in a period of rapid development.
When the company is big and the business is good, it will surely touch the hearts of many people, and it will also cause a lot of dissension, such as dividing the cake, bundling interests, trying to suppress others, leveraging others' strength, and other means of combining vertical and horizontal methods. At this stage,
It is very practical and practical.
After all, for the Lin family who are standing behind the scenes, and even for Herbert, they are outsiders there. At this time, they must first break into the enemy! It's like Zhang Mazi pretended to take office first...
As for the fur, Lin Mo ended his talk here. Compared to the fur, Lin Mo was more concerned about the food processing industry, that is, the canning business.
And Herbert actually had a similar idea. Compared with fur, the food processing and trade industry, including canned food, has much greater potential. Even compared to canned food, fur is really just fur, or is it?
After Lin Mo proposed this plan, the prospects became slightly better.
However, the food processing industry faces more problems in various aspects and requires greater investment. When Herbert came back, he was looking for solutions, including wanting to meet with Lin Mo, mainly because he wanted to ask for advice on this aspect.
