Chapter 124
Since the beginning of the new year, the scrap market has been ups and downs. The prices of various scraps have been ups and downs, and they have become the same as the domestic stock market. Most of the time they rely on gambling.
Although the prices of various waste products fluctuated, the impact on Luo Jiu's family was not that great.
Because Luo Jiu's waste yard is almost at the front line of the waste acquisition industry, no matter what kind of waste there is, there is enough profit margin.
The disadvantage is that the amount is not large enough, and it is in an embarrassing position where it can neither make a fortune nor starve.
Scrap yards like Luo Jiu's generally don't store a lot of scrap, and most of the time they stock a certain amount and then sell it to upstream scrap buyers.
Price fluctuations have far less impact on the first-line waste collection stations than the large upstream waste purchasers.
The impact of price fluctuations on a small waste collection station like Luo Jiu's is at best a matter of earning more or less, and it is difficult to make no money.
However, for those large buyers in the upstream, the impact of price fluctuations is relatively large.
If the price fluctuates greatly, one carelessness will cause huge losses.
Originally, those big purchasers made money from the price difference between the upstream and downstream, and the profit was not very large, mainly relying on the large quantity to make money.
For waste like waste paper, those big waste collectors take it back from small waste stations like Luo Jiu's, and then sell it to paper mills. The profits in this are not very big.
A ton of waste paper usually earns a price difference of tens of dollars, but when the price fluctuates sharply, if you are unlucky, you will collect it when the price is high. As long as the price of waste paper is lowered by 20 or 30 yuan, it will be a waste of time for a while, and losing money is something that can't be escaped.
Because these large scrap buyers usually buy a certain amount of scrap, and only sell it to the upstream paper mill when the amount is large, and there must be a period of time in between.
During this period of time, if the price is stable, it will be easy to say, and the money will be steadily earned.
If there is a price change, it is really frightening. I am afraid that when I wake up, a ton of waste paper will drop by dozens of dollars.
You must know that those larger waste buyers often stock up on hundreds of tons of waste, and the unit price can change by one or twenty yuan at will, which is a profit difference of tens of thousands.
Waste products such as waste paper are okay, because the unit price is low, and the price fluctuations are generally not very severe, so even if you lose money, it will generally not hurt your muscles.
But if you encounter those high-priced waste products, the price fluctuations will be severe.
The ups and downs of the price are even more exciting than when stocks are traded.
For example, the price of copper scrap this year is hard to describe. In many cases, the difference between today's price and tomorrow's price is one to two thousand yuan per ton.
If you have around 10 tons of copper at random in your hand, you will either make tens of thousands or lose tens of thousands overnight.
The price of scrap copper this year has generally risen, but there was a period of time when the price fell.
Those who hoarded a large amount of scrap copper before the price fell, if they did not insist on selling it later when the price rose, they would definitely lose money.
Because the cost of hoarding copper is relatively high, one ton of scrap copper costs 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, and if you hoard 100 tons, you need 50,000 to 60,000 yuan.
And a large waste collector will never accept only one kind of waste, almost all the waste will be collected according to the order.
And the largest scrap buyer in the county fell into the copper hoarding hole some time ago, and was drowned almost to death.
After persisting for more than half a month, I finally sold all the goods I had hoarded at a loss, and finally saved my life in time.
This was his true thought at the time, but after two days, he wished he could strangle himself to death.
Because just after he sold the goods he had hoarded for a month,
The price of scrap products, which has been falling endlessly, has risen accordingly, and it is getting higher every day.
But at this time, he no longer has the guts, nor does he have enough funds to enter this market.
Once when he was drinking with Luo Jiu, he had the idea of selling the waste recycling company.
However, he seemed to have changed his mind later, and never mentioned this matter to Luo Jiu.
Things changed again after the opening ceremony of Lantian Smart. He called Luo Jiu again, asking Luo Jiu to have a drink together, and once brought up the idea of selling the company.
Luo Jiu was obviously more interested in taking over the largest waste recycling company in the county than in opening a smart trash can factory, so he immediately agreed.
Monopolizing the scrap purchase market in one place has always been something Luo Jiu has always dreamed about.
Because of such a condition, the value of the robots that collect waste in their hands will be greatly improved.
At this stage, Luo Jiu can only exchange the waste products collected by the robots that collect recyclable garbage for gold coins, and does not dare to sell them in large quantities.
But if he has a large waste collection station monopolizing a place in his hand, Luo Jiu can directly sell the recyclable garbage collected by robots.
A robot can collect almost 100 cubic meters of waste products in a month. Calculated according to the relatively cheap waste paper, 100 cubic meters of waste paper is more than 200,000 yuan in cash, and 10 robots are 2 million yuan a month.
It is impossible for the waste collected by the robot to be all waste paper, plus other high-priced waste products, it is not a problem for a robot to earn Luo Jiu 500,000 yuan a month.
After Luo Jiu has enough gold coins, he buys 100 robots, Luo Jiu does nothing every month, and has half the income of a small goal.
At that time, Luo Jiu will still be worried that there will be no money to build a new factory, and will he still be unable to afford an injection molding machine?
Those things are nothing at all, with a monthly income of 70 to 80 million in cash, Luo Jiu immediately bought the old plastic factory, and then bought dozens of injection molding machines for it, and the smart trash can directly cost 100,000 to 100,000 Make, don't worry about making money at all.
In fact, for the smart trash can, among the current Lantian Smart, there is one counted as one, and they all have full confidence in it. The only problem that limits its rapid growth now is that Luo Jiu's funds are not enough to allow it to grow rapidly.
But as long as Luo Jiu can buy the largest waste company in the county this time, all problems will be solved.
