Vol 7 Chapter 54: Cost increase

The news of the New World has certainly whipped up the appetite of almost all countries on the mainland, but they also understand that talking about these is a meaningless move when there is no ocean sailing conditions. ≤ ≤,
In comparison, it is more important to stabilize your own development first, because only in this way can there be hope that the opportunity to develop the New World will be successfully captured.
If you have been left behind before, it is naturally a matter of rest.
As the news of the New World was published a little by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, other countries on the mainland of Sainz were increasingly investing in the development of the magic industry.
The Chambers of Commerce of the New Flyers Association will receive applications for cooperation from various chambers of commerce, the state and other forces on the mainland almost every day, so that almost everyone in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be busy.
In fact, the busiest and most popular is undoubtedly the new flying home magic machinery chamber led by Ankato.
On the current Sainz mainland, home magic machinery has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Everyone understands that home magic machinery can bring great convenience and comfort to life, so more and more chambers of commerce are invested in the home magic machinery industry.
Just in the first four months of this year, the Chamber of Commerce for applying for the purchase of home magic machinery related technology to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is more than one hundred. The technology purchased covers all the technologies that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce officially sells and transfers.
In order to meet the huge demand of the outside world, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, at the request of countless people, announced at the beginning of this year that it would open an additional 37 home magic machinery related technologies, including the Magic Air Conditioning that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has not announced. , Magic refrigerator and other high-end products manufacturing technology.
In this way, in fact, all the home magic machinery related technologies that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can produce at present will be sold and transferred. Some of the home magic machines that were unique to the new Feifei Chamber of Commerce are now also capable of production at other chambers of commerce. The new Feishang Chamber of Commerce lost its exclusivity.
of course. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still far ahead of other chambers of commerce in terms of technology and technology. Even if it is the same thing, the products of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are still significantly stronger in quality and performance than those of other chambers of commerce.
In addition, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has become a symbol of magical machinery in the minds of all the people of Sainz. It has a high reputation and prestige, so no matter which country, the new flying home magic machine is still the most popular. The product is definitely not for the road.
After entering June, this advantage is reflected again as in previous years.
According to the statistics of the Xinfei Household Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce. This year's sales of the new flying brand home magic machinery has once again increased significantly compared to last year, just a total sales in May of one month is as high as 1.7 million gold coins.
However, after accurate statistics, it was found that compared with last year, the net profit of the Xinfei Household Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce, although it has a small increase, is significantly lower than the increase in sales.
The reason for this phenomenon is that with the increasing number of chambers of commerce that can make home magic machinery, and the rising prices of various raw materials, coupled with the increase in labor costs, the manufacturing cost of household magic machinery has increased significantly. This leads to a lower profit margin.
In the years before the establishment of the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce, the new Fly Card Home Magic Machinery had a profit margin of at least 50%. The highest can even reach an astonishing 80%.
With the popularity of home magic machinery over the years, the profit margin of the new flying home magic machinery has been declining.
According to statistics this year, in the new flying home magic machine, the magic air conditioner with the highest profit rate only has a profit margin of less than 30%, while the lowest magic light has only a profit margin of less than 10%.
From this point of view, it can even be said that the era of profiteering of household magic machinery has passed.
Although this was as expected in Xu, he did not expect it to appear so fast.
You know, on the earth, the home appliance industry has only developed after decades of development.
On the mainland of Sainz, it has been more than 16 years since the appearance of home magic machinery.
However, after careful thought, Xu also could only helplessly admit that this situation was actually what he asked for.
Because he has been vigorously promoting the magic industry industry, so there is almost no reservation in the technical aspects of home magic machinery, so that many chambers of commerce now have the ability to make home magic machinery, which directly shares the new flying card. The sales of household magic machinery triggered competition, which reduced the profit of the new flying home magic machinery.
The cost increase in raw materials and labor is also inseparable from him.
Let me talk about the artificial aspect first.
Prior to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce on the Cairns mainland did not have a fixed salary for the salary level of the employees it hired, but for ordinary employees, no one would give any high salary.
For example, the time when the New Flying Chamber of Commerce was just established 17 years ago, the highest salary given by the Chamber of Commerce in Bangta City was only ten gold coins per year.
As soon as the new Feishang Association was established, it gave its ordinary employees a high salary of five gold coins per month.
If you count it, there are as many as sixty gold coins a year!
This salary is an extremely exaggerated amount for the state of Bangta, where most people can barely be hungry, and even the entire Lampari kingdom, so that almost everyone in the entire Bangta city feels new flying. The Chamber of Commerce and Xu are simply crazy.
However, it is precisely because of this that the new Feishang Association was able to quickly hire enough people to quickly meet the needs of mass production, so that at the beginning, the new Feishang Chamber was not even plagued by production.
At the same time, this has also made the reputation of the new Feishang Association soar, which indirectly helped the new Feishang Association to develop rapidly.
From this point of view, for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, this is more beneficial than harm.
However, for other chambers of commerce that also entered the industry after the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, the salary standard set by Xu also initially was undoubtedly a crime.
Because the new Feishang Association has already been in the jade, the standard has been set. This will make other chambers of commerce want to enter the magic industry. It is impossible to offer a lower salary. Otherwise, it is impossible to recruit people, and it is even more impossible to dig up skilled workers and skilled workers from the new Feishang Association.
So over the years, because of the competition between the various chambers of commerce, the salary standards have risen and risen.
Up to now, the salary of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is not high, even in all the chambers related to the magic industry, it can be considered low, and the salary standards of other chambers of commerce are much higher.
This in turn affects the new Flyer Chamber of Commerce.
Before the new flying home magic machinery department had not been separated, it was still stuck according to the salary standards set by Xu. No one has any complaints.
After the establishment of the Xinfei Household Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce, Ankato redefined the salary standard in order to enhance the morale of the Chamber of Commerce and establish its own prestige, so that the salary standard of the Xinfei Household Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce is in the entire magic industry. The industry-related chambers of commerce have risen to a higher level.
So the labor cost of the Xinfei Household Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce immediately climbed, just in May this month, just as wages and various welfare treatments amounted to as much as 6.3 million gold coins, compared with the previous great improvement. , which greatly increased the cost of the new flying home magic machine.
Then there is the raw material aspect.
When the New Flying Chamber of Commerce was just established, people on the mainland of Sainz did not pay much attention to the various raw materials needed to produce magical machinery. Therefore, the most expensive of all the raw materials costs of the new Feishang Association is to draw some of the magic materials needed by the magic array.
As for the iron ore with the highest dosage, it is controlled by the Falcon Chamber of Commerce. But the price is not high.
The magic crystals that are equally vital, because they are almost everywhere, can be said to be worthless as white.
Later, as the magic industry industry became more and more important, all countries on the mainland paid more and more attention to the raw materials related to the domestic magic industry.
Naturally, the prices of these raw materials are also increasing.
For example, in the case of the iron ore with the highest demand, the price of the iron ore purchased by the New Flyer in the first few years from the Falcon Chamber of Commerce is only about two gold coins per ton. The pig iron that has been smelted is only about ten gold coins. One ton.
And this year, according to the latest price announced by the Falcao Chamber of Commerce in June.
Iron ore has risen to six gold coins per ton, and pig iron has soared to twenty-seven gold coins per ton.
Compared to the past, it has more than doubled!
Even before it was completely worthless, in addition to the special high-quality goods, the magic crystal that was thrown on the ground without anyone to look at it, now is also the energy material that all magic machinery must use, so the price skyrocketed.
For example, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce purchased the magic crystal that can only meet the medium standard from the Candela Empire. The price has reached 93 silver coins per ton.
And because of the huge demand, Magic Crystal has a very fast price increase.
At this time last year, it was only seventy-six silver coins per ton. As a result, it has risen to 93 silver coins per ton in the past year.
At this rate, there is no pressure to break through one gold coin per ton this year.
The demand for raw materials has risen madly with prices, which naturally led to a series of problems.
First of all, various countries on the mainland of Sainz have strengthened their control over various domestic raw material resources. The two empire of the Candela Empire and the Marlow Empire are headed by a large number of countries, and now they do not export raw materials.
Even the only material in the Candela empire that trades in raw materials is only the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. The reason is that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is the only chamber that has mastered steel smelting, non-ferrous metal smelting and magic crystal concentrating and refining technology.
In addition, the Candela Empire and the New Flyer will have a number of cooperation projects, so the new Flyer will continue to purchase all kinds of raw materials from the Candela Empire without restriction.
However, even if the benefits are obtained, the prices of these raw materials are still greatly increased, resulting in an increase in the cost of manufacturing magic machinery.
The new Feishang Chamber of Commerce is still the case, and the situation of other chambers of commerce and other countries on the mainland is even more imaginable.
Countries with sufficient raw material resources in China say that countries with insufficient resources are naturally trying to solve this problem.
Among these methods, the most common and most prone one is war. (To be continued...)
