Although I understand, it still hurts in my heart!

If you invest in a cement plant with an annual output of 10 million tons, you can eventually achieve an annual output of more than 800 tons.

You know, I originally planned to pay a little more overtime and let them work hard for me according to the 11 million tons or 12 million tons!

Calculated in this way, there will be a loss of 3 to 4 million tons of production inside and outside a year, and a loss of revenue of 2 to 3 billion yuan a year, which is equivalent to nearly 400 million U.S. dollars.

"Monroe, if there is no margin and the operation is at full capacity, but only regular ceasefires for maintenance, how long can these production lines run without failure?"

"If it can be inspected regularly, it can run without problems for five years without any problems!" Monroe thought for a while and said.

“How long will the downtime be for each maintenance?”

"Boss, when we shut down for maintenance, not all machinery stops running, so it basically won't affect normal production!"

"Dear Monroe, then I don't understand. Since it is running at full capacity, as long as regular maintenance is ensured, it can be used without failure for five years!

Why do you still leave a margin of 15%?

Do you know how much money I will lose in a year by the 15% margin you set aside?

A loss of US$150 million in one year will be US$750 million in five years!”

"But, boss, if that's the case, it will reduce the service life of the machine!

It's okay in the early stage, but in the middle stage, failures will occur frequently..."

“Damn it for frequent malfunctions, damn it for reducing its service life!

Monroe, I didn't even spend $750 million to build this cement plant!

You actually cost me 1.5 billion a year just to prolong the life of this piece of shit!

Monroe, I want to stick a stick in your ass right now!

Do you know that the money lost in five years is enough for me to build two new cement plants!" Yu Qingyang slapped the table and cursed.

Monroe Bentham scratched his scalp, looking confused and puzzled.

I was obviously helping my boss save money, which could extend the life of the machine by at least half, but why did my boss say it turned into a loss?

Americans are sometimes very rigid, and their mathematics is very poor. Many people know that two plus two equals four, but they don't know how to calculate what two plus five minus three equals.

Monroe Bentham is still thinking about how he lost more than 100 million US dollars a year when his boss told him that he strictly followed operating procedures to maximize work efficiency, increase the service life of machinery, and save money for his boss.

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and stars began to appear in Monroe's eyes!

"Okay, don't think about it, just do as I say!

All machinery is at full capacity and regular maintenance is guaranteed.

In addition, I think the production capacity designed by Company L is relatively conservative, that is to say, it is completely possible to increase the production above the annual production of 10 million tons.

If you can achieve an annual output of more than 11 million tons of cement!

At the end of the year, I will give you 10 million US dollars and give you red envelopes!" Yu Qingyang no longer reasoned with Monroe Bentham, but directly issued an order!

"Eleven million tons? Boss...Is it true that you will give out 10 million US dollars in red envelopes at the end of the year?"

"Of course it's true, everyone here is a witness!

If you can reach 12 million tons, I will give you 20 million US dollars in red envelopes!" Yu Qingyang said proudly.

At this time, no big principles worked, but Franklin was the best. A bunch of Franklins directly knocked Monroe Bentham unconscious.

We no longer consider the damage to machinery caused by full load or overload operation.

"Boss, what about us? Does our brick factory also have red envelopes?"

"Thorndike, the same goes for your brick factory! According to the designed annual output, for the part that exceeds the designed annual output, I will use 10% to give you red envelopes!

The distribution of red envelopes is all decided by you and Munro!"

“Boss, don’t worry! I will definitely complete the mission!

No!

Mission exceeded!

I'll get a stick with thorns later, and if anyone doesn't work hard, I'll poke him in the butt with the stick!" Thorndike said viciously.

As soon as Yu Qingyang finished speaking, Monroe Bentham and Neil Thorndike could no longer hold back and were gearing up to return to the factory immediately to supervise production.

"You two do well!

The production tasks are just set! According to the designed production capacity, 10% of the excess will be used as a bonus!

The recruitment matter has been decided like this!

Next, let’s talk about the marble mine!”

"Boss, the security of the Tutuo tribe is simply terrible!

Located near the borders of the three countries, rebels in Sudan and Chad often cross the border!

We lost a dozen workers because of this!

We can only leave the mining to the Tutu tribe, and you already know the result!" Angela reported the situation of the mine in detail.

At this time, southern Ajigeria was indeed unsettled.

In other words, the countries surrounding Ajigeria are not stable.

There has just been a coup in Egypt.

Sudan, Chad, and Niger are all fighting back and forth with the anti-government armed forces, which is very lively.

There is no big war, but you and I are going back and forth from time to time, firing a few shots, firing a couple of artillery pieces, or detonating a bomb or something.

Since it is so dangerous, is mining marble profitable?

Of course it is profitable, and the profits are very considerable.

The cost of quarrying marble in Africa is only a dozen yuan per ton, and including security, the cost is no more than thirty yuan per ton.

But when shipped to China, a ton of rough materials can be sold for 1,000 yuan.

Excluding freight, which costs 100 yuan per ton, and tariffs, the profit can be dozens of times higher for every ton shipped domestically.

This is just raw material. If it is processed into plates, the profit will be higher.

"Are all the machinery and equipment for marble mining ready?"

"Ready! It can be transported to the mining area at any time!"

"Okay, after the opening ceremony of the cement plant, we will set off for the mining area!" Yu Qingyang nodded.

"Mr. Xu, there are two squadrons left here at the building materials factory, and everyone else is going to the mining area!

Establish a defense line around the mining area to protect the safety of the mining area!

If you still need any equipment, please make an order and I'll ask Manager Zhang to purchase it!" Yu Qingyang said decisively.

"yes!

…

At this moment, Angela's secretary came in to report that Ronald, the mayor of Butitanic City, was visiting.

"Haha, just in time, I originally wanted to talk to him, but on his territory, he actually left the mining area abandoned for several months!" Yu Qingyang sneered.

Get up and go to the reception room.

"Haha, Mayor Ronald, my dear friend, it's so great to see you again!" Yu Qingyang laughed and opened his hands to Ronald and gave him a tight hug.

"Yu, dear Chinese friend! I am also very happy to see you!

When I heard that you were coming, I rushed over to say hello to my dear Chinese friend!"

"Mayor Ronald, if you don't come, I will visit you later!

I brought you a gift from China!

A gift from the great China!" Yu Qingyang smiled enthusiastically.

"Thank you! Yu, you are so generous!" Ronald thanked.

The gift Yu Qingyang brought was tea!

It's not very good tea.

They are all Pu'er that sell for about 100 yuan in China.

The wholesale price of such tea is only thirty or forty yuan.

Yu Qingyang brought a lot of this tea, not only to drink it for himself, but also to give it to others!

The upper class society in Africa still has a huge demand for tea, especially in the African countries, where alcohol is prohibited and guests are treated to tea instead of wine.

It’s not that Yu Qingyang is stingy and reluctant to give away good tea.

The main thing is to give them good tea, but they can't tell whether it's good or bad.

They drink tea and like to put sugar and mint in the tea.
