Chapter 249 How much profit is aluminum alloy?
(This chapter is in a hurry, and it is more brain-intensive. It will be revised first and then revised slowly. Please raise any questions and modify them immediately)
After receiving several guests, Mu Yang rarely had leisure in the next few days.
Speaking of leisure, the main reason is that he doesn't let others disturb him. If it's not very important, let the secretary not look for him.
Otherwise, if people from all walks of life, such as suppliers, dealers, partners, relatives and friends, superiors, etc., really have to deal with it, Mu Yang will immediately become a super busy person.
As a person's influence grows, all kinds of people will try to curry favor with him. As long as they get a little benefit from Mu Yang, it may be a big piece of cake for them, enough for them to be rich for a lifetime.
In the past few days, Mu Yang is sorting out aluminum alloy matters, such as factory investment, roughly how many sets of equipment are needed, how many tons of aluminum alloy can be produced by a set of equipment, how much investment is required, how much is the factory floor space, how many personnel are needed, and Where to build a plant, when to start building and put into production, etc., most of these things are most suitable for him.
It really won't work for another person or group.
Because, only he is most familiar with the equipment he designed.
Mu Yang made such a fuss, in addition to planning and breaking the technical barriers of foreigners, he also took a fancy to the profit of aluminum alloy.
Speaking of the profit of aluminum alloy, we have to talk about its manufacturing process first.
Its manufacturing process is not as complicated as titanium alloy, and the production environment is not so harsh. The core technology is mainly heat treatment process and advanced equipment.
Mu Yang does not plan to buy aluminum ore for smelting, nor does he plan to engage in electrolytic aluminum, but directly purchases aluminum ingots.
The annual output of aluminum in the country is several million tons, and the cost of buying aluminum ingots is not high. From aluminum ore to aluminum ingots, most factories can smelt them, and the profits of these aluminum factories are not high.
What Xinghai Group has to do is to remove slag and ash (remove impurities first), refining, alloying, casting, sawing and homogenization.
In addition, the amount he needs is not small, not the amount of titanium alloy.
The smelting of aluminum ingots will emit polluting gases and miscellaneous slag, and he does not plan to put the aluminum factory at the headquarters base. It is estimated that the environmental protection department of City H also disagrees with Xinghai Group's doing this. Mu Yang doesn't want the environmental protection department to check the water meter every day.
The positioning of the headquarters base is only a high-tech technology production park, and there will be no polluting factories, such as welding factories, which will be avoided as much as possible. Otherwise, smoke and dust removal equipment must be added to prevent them from being discharged into the atmosphere.
In addition, the foundry consumes a lot of electricity, and it will be very troublesome if it is cut off, so it cannot be placed in a city with concentrated electricity consumption.
He doesn't plan to put the aluminum factory too far away, it's better to be closer to the major automobile factories to facilitate supply.
In the past two days, he will decide on this matter and enter the state of investment and construction of the factory in advance, so that the equipment can be manufactured slowly.
So,
How much is the profit of aluminum alloy?
Let's start with the raw material aluminum ingot.
The price of aluminum ingots this year ranges from a minimum of 14,500 yuan/ton to a maximum of 18,000 yuan/ton, with an average price of 16,000 yuan/ton; it is slightly cheaper than the general price of around 20,000 yuan ten years later. After all, labor costs and aluminum ore costs are much higher.
Of course, the price of aluminum ingots is most affected by capital.
This aluminum ingot generally refers to AL99.7, that is, the purity of the aluminum content reaches more than 99.7%, and this purity is generally traded in the international market.
So, what about the cost of smelting aluminum alloys from aluminum ingots?
The cost of each type of aluminum alloy mainly depends on the cost of aluminum. Generally, the aluminum content will account for about 97.5%. The cost of alloy elements is not high. Most of them are cheaper than aluminum. The most expensive alloy is not much more expensive than aluminum. And the content is extremely low.
Therefore, the material cost of aluminum alloy can be based on the price of aluminum ingots.
In fact, the finished price of aluminum alloy plates is not much higher than that of aluminum ingots.
Aluminum alloy price = aluminum ingot price + processing price + other costs + gross profit space
The processing fee varies depending on the production process and other related factors. At this time of 10 years, it is about 2500-5000 yuan/ton, which refers to the production cost of processing aluminum ingots into aluminum alloy products.
Other costs, such as logistics costs, packaging costs, sales costs, research and development costs, management costs, etc., are shared from several hundred yuan to one thousand yuan for large quantities.
Because of fierce competition, the gross profit space of aluminum factories is very small. If the aluminum ingot is 16,000 yuan/ton, the market price of general aluminum alloy is about 23,000 yuan/ton, and if the quantity is small, it will be about 25,000 yuan/ton. Look at the model, how the product is, the difference is also big.
But in general, the market price of domestic aluminum alloys is not much different from the above.
That is to say, imported aluminum alloy automobile body panels can be sold for more than 35,000 yuan/ton. This price is the price that various automakers buy directly from aluminum factories. It must be much cheaper. The actual market price may be 40,000 to 45,000 yuan. / ton, but also the pre-tax price.
The customers of Xinghai Group are automobile manufacturers. Take 6009 aluminum alloy as an example. The ex-factory price for each automobile factory is 30,000 yuan/ton, even if it is 5,000 yuan/ton lower than that of foreigners, the profit margin of 6009 aluminum alloy per ton is about 8,000 yuan. -10,000 yuan.
This profit is already very high. After all, selling aluminum alloy plates does not require any after-sales service like selling equipment products, such as warranty money, etc., are all inspected on the spot, 100% cash transaction, you pay the money, and the aluminum factory will deliver the goods. There is rarely such a thing as a payment delay.
Unless there are a large number of quality problems, you can only return the goods, but this kind of thing is rare.
The profit situation of aluminum alloy is probably the same.
If it goes into production, Xinghai Group will have another cornucopia.
After sorting out the general direction, start to calculate the investment in a factory with an annual output of 200,000 tons of aluminum alloy.
(The planned annual output is 500,000 tons, and the first phase is to produce 200,000 tons per year.)
Excluding holidays, the daily output should reach 600 tons.
For example, there is a very important equipment for the production of aluminum alloys, which is used for melting and heat preservation and refining of aluminum alloys. Most aluminum factories use circular top-cover melting furnaces. Generally, the loading capacity of medium-sized equipment is 6 tons/furnace (melting pool) The diameter is 4 meters, the depth is 650mm), the fuel is natural gas, the melting speed is 4-6 hours, plus the heat preservation and refining time, one furnace needs 8-10 hours.
Generally, smelting will not be stopped midway, and the production will be 24 hours a day, because it takes a long time to preheat the furnace, and it is necessary to do a good job in one furnace, and then make the next furnace to reduce energy consumption.
If such medium-sized equipment is used, 34-42 such equipment are needed to produce 600 tons of aluminum alloy a day.
The aluminum alloy technology that Mu Yang bought from the Achievement Store is much better than conventional equipment, mainly in terms of energy consumption and automation.
He will use a large-scale melting furnace, with a loading capacity of 20 tons per furnace. Due to the advanced equipment, the melting speed is reduced to 2-4 hours; the refining and heat preservation process used is different, slightly longer, and one furnace The production time is 5-7 hours, can produce 68-96 tons per day, and can produce 600 tons of aluminum alloy per day, requiring up to 10 sets of equipment.
Mu Yang calculates one by one and writes it into an investment brochure.
Two days later, his aluminum alloy investment planning brochure was produced.
At the same time, he decided to build the first aluminum factory in the suburb of Yangfu District, H City, with a planned annual output of 200,000 tons of aluminum alloy, with an annual output value of about 6 billion yuan.
There are seventy or eighty large and small foundries in City H, and they are mainly concentrated in the suburbs of Yangfu District. It is not a big problem for Mu Yang to choose this area.
The second factory will be located in the Pearl River Delta. The specific city has not yet been decided. We will start with the investment in the first factory.
The total investment of the first aluminum alloy factory project is 1 billion yuan, the industrial land is 200 mu, and the annual output value is 6 billion yuan.
The factory is required to be completed in 4-5 months, and after the factory is handed over, it is required to be put into production within two months. The actual period is 7-8 months, and the time is relatively tight.
The investment has reached 1 billion yuan, and the investment per mu is very high. It is mainly spent on automation equipment investment, at least 500 million yuan, and a total of 10 production lines.
The specific number of employees may require more than 500 people. This is due to its advanced equipment, and most of them use fully automatic production. Otherwise, according to the output value of 6 billion yuan, there will be one or two thousand employees.
