Chapter 1368 1369: One Pot Equals One Liter

After reporting the company's operating status, Mondeo looked at Linda again, and then whispered the most important thing about this shareholders' meeting.

"In addition, in view of the fact that the company's briquette business has been saturated in Carterones, the management, after repeated discussions, formally proposed to the board of directors to start expanding the briquette field to other regions!"

Hearing that the briquette business was going to be expanded to other regions, the faces of the nobles present froze for a moment.

Most of their fiefdoms are not in Katrons, but in the surrounding areas. As the briquettes became popular in Katrons, these nobles did not compete with Linda for business in Katrons, but moved to other areas or their own fiefdoms.

The money they earned was all in their own pockets, and these people were naturally a little unhappy when they heard that the company was going to expand its business.

Mondeo naturally felt the malice of many people present, swallowed his saliva and shrunk his neck. While introducing himself, he distributed the completed financial presentation to each director.

Everyone flipped through the briefing while listening to the Mondeo report:

"This coal yard has been open since November this year, with a total income of 157,778 VC dollars and 166 tons of coal in that month. After deducting costs, the total profit is 45,600 VC dollars..."

"hiss……"

The directors gasped for a while, and it went into production that month, with a profit of more than 40,000 yuan that month.

No wonder Master Linda has so much funds on hand. It turns out that he has this cash cow.

"December, a total income of 198,710 U.S. dollars and a profit of 58,900 U.S. dollars."

"In January, the total income was 217,700 yuan, and the profit was 73,110 yuan."

"February, that is, this month, is still short of the last week, but the income has already exceeded 230,000 dong, and the profit this month must exceed 80,000 dong!"

"Oh my God……"

Shareholders shook their heads in disbelief. According to common sense, as the weather gets warmer, the coal business should get worse and worse. It won’t be closed until summer, and it will recover quickly when autumn cools.

"How can the briquette business continue to grow against the trend?" Viscount Jesses raised a question on behalf of the directors.

Obviously, these aristocratic lords only used briquettes for heating in winter, and did not associate them in other directions.

"It's simple, our briquettes are of good quality and delivered right to your door."

Mondeo proudly explained: "It also provides recycling services. Customers can use ten burnt briquettes to exchange for a new briquette. This will naturally increase the number of customers."

"Why do you want to recycle the burnt briquettes?" Grand Duke Titans asked puzzled.

"This is a price reduction promotion in disguise, which can greatly increase user stickiness."

Linda said lightly: "And the cinder has many uses! It will be used in many places in the future."

"oh."

The directors nodded in confusion.

"Both, just as the son said." Mondeo continued: "In the case of soaring raw coal prices, instead of raising prices, we have lowered prices in disguise. The peers have no way to compete. They have to either close down or be merged by us. "

"Why not raise the price?" Marquis Dean Luke asked.

He is in charge of the empire's finances, and he is sensitive to all aspects of prices.

"Because our cost is low enough, a piece of honeycomb briquette that cost 4 cents originally cost 2 cents, even if the price of raw coal rises to 30 cents per ton, we can still maintain a certain profit." Mondeo replied proudly.

"Haha, coal has risen to 30 cents per ton, shouldn't we wake up laughing?" Shareholders couldn't help but laugh.

After all, the daily output of the company's coal mines has reached the level of 100 tons, which means that if you don't do other business every day, you can earn 3,000 yuan just by digging coal, not to mention that there are more coal mines that have not yet been put into operation. The future will only be more terrifying.

"Master Linda, tall, really tall!"

Marquis Dean Luke was the first to understand, and he gave Linda a thumbs up and said:

"The company makes more money when the price of coal rises; when the price of coal falls, the briquette makes more money. No matter what happens, the company only makes money and doesn't lose money."

"Everyone should notice that there are more and more trucks in Catrons, coupled with the promotion of gas lamps, the monthly consumption of kerosene has reached a terrifying 10,000 barrels of oil, and this number will increase with the increase of gas lamps and trucks. , continue to grow, and more than 60% of the 10,000 barrels of kerosene is produced by the Royal Kerosene Company, and the remaining 40% is barely delivered by the company's efforts..."

Mondeo started talking about the kerosene business.

Hearing that kerosene was described as a barrel, many aristocratic lords were blinded by hearing it, and finally looked at Marquis Dean Luke.

"This is the unit of measurement created by Master Linda. A barrel of oil is equal to forty-two gallons, and a gallon is equal to 3.785 standard jugs."

The standard jug is the unit used to measure liquids in the middle countries, and a standard jug is equivalent to one liter.

"oh!"

"What! One and a half million jugs of kerosene are consumed every month."

A nobleman shouted in surprise.

The price of kerosene in Catrons is not cheap now, the price of a liter of kerosene is 40 cents, and there is a monthly turnover of more than 600,000 dong. Even if the company only accounts for 40%, it still has 250,000 dong .

"Compared to honeycomb coal, kerosene is the huge profit."

Many aristocrats' eyes lit up immediately, while Mondeo said without changing his face and heartbeat: "The turnover has indeed reached a terrifying two million yuan, but the refining cost of kerosene is even higher, and the cost of each pot of kerosene exceeds 30 Nuo In fact, the monthly profit is only about 70,000 dong.”

Although the final figure is only 70,000 dong, they are more bullish on kerosene.

The reason is simple. With the popularity of gas lamps, as long as the poor and down-and-out families are not mentioned, they will more or less buy a gas lamp. For a frugal family, a gas lamp can’t even use a pot of kerosene for a month, but it can’t stand the Catrons. According to reliable sources, the number of gas lamps in Catrons has exceeded 500,000.

Even with the most economical standard, 500,000 pots of kerosene are needed every month, not to mention that the number of gas lamps in the homes of many wealthy families has reached double digits. In fact, the kerosene consumed by trucks is now only a small amount.

This makes many shareholders more optimistic about the kerosene and gas business.

"For some time to come, the company will increase investment in refineries and increase kerosene production, which is likely to affect future year-end dividends..."

Mondeo told this part of the situation, and all the shareholders expressed their support and understanding.

As long as the production of kerosene can be increased, not to mention dividends, even if they are asked to increase funds in proportion to their shares, there is no problem at all, let alone they do not need to increase funds, which means that the funds for the new refinery they built are their dividends .

Without these investment funds, their year-end dividends will be very objective.
