Magic Industry Empire - 1040. Chapter 1040

Although the news of the New World has whipped the appetite of almost all countries on the continent, they also understand that it is meaningless to talk about these when the conditions for ocean navigation are not available.

In comparison, it is more important to stabilize one’s own development first, because only in this way can we hope to successfully seize the opportunity to develop a new continent before our eyes.

If you have fallen behind before this, then everything is naturally forgotten.

So as the news of the New World was made public by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce a little bit, other countries on the Sainz continent were investing more and more in the development of the magic industry industry.

The various chambers of commerce under the New Flying Chamber of Commerce receive applications for cooperation from various chambers of commerce, countries and other forces on the mainland almost every day, making almost everyone in the New Flying Chamber of Commerce very busy.

In fact, the busiest and most popular is undoubtedly the Xinfei Home Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce led by Ankato.

Now in Sainz, household magic machinery has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Everyone understands that household magic machinery can bring great convenience and comfort to life, so more and more chambers of commerce have invested in the household magic machinery industry.

In the four months at the beginning of this year alone, more than one hundred chambers of commerce have applied to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to purchase household magic machinery related technologies. The purchased technology covers all the technologies that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce officially sold and transferred.

In order to meet the huge demand from the outside world, at the beginning of this year, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce announced at the beginning of this year that it will open 37 additional household magic machinery related technologies, including the magic air conditioner that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has not announced. , Magic refrigerator and other high-end products manufacturing technology.

In this way, in fact, all the household magic machinery related technologies currently produced by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will be sold and transferred, so that some household magic machines that were previously unique to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce now have the ability to produce other chambers of commerce. The Flying Chamber of Commerce lost its exclusivity.

Of course, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still far ahead of other chambers of commerce in terms of technology and craftsmanship. Even if it is the same thing, the products of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are still significantly better than those of other chambers of commerce in terms of quality and performance.

In addition, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has become a symbol of magic machinery in the hearts of all people in Sainz. It has a very high reputation and prestige, so no matter which country it is in, Xinfei brand household magic machinery is still the most popular. The products are absolutely not sold.

After entering June, this advantage has once again manifested itself as in previous years.

According to the statistics of Xinfei Home Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce, the sales of Xinfei Home Magic Machinery this year have again increased significantly compared with last year. In May alone, the total sales amounted to 1.7 million gold coins. .

However, after accurate statistics, it was discovered that, compared with last year, the net profit of Xinfei Home Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce has also increased by a large amount, but it is significantly lower than the increase in sales.

The reason for this phenomenon is that as more and more chambers of commerce can manufacture household magic machinery, the prices of various raw materials are also rising, coupled with the increase in labor costs, the manufacturing cost of household magic machinery has increased significantly. This leads to lower profit margins.

In the few years before the establishment of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the profit margin of Xinfei brand household magic machinery could be as low as 50%, and the highest could even reach an astonishing 80%.

In recent years, with the popularity of household magic machinery, the profit margin of Xinfei brand household magic machinery has been declining.

According to statistics this year, among Xinfei brand household magic machines, the magic air conditioner with the highest profit margin only has a profit margin of less than 30%, while the lowest magic lamp has a profit margin of less than 10%.

Judging from this phenomenon, it can even be said that the era of huge profits for household magic machinery has passed.

Although Xu Yi had expected this point, he did not expect it to appear so quickly.

You know, on the earth, the home appliance industry has only developed such a situation after decades.

On Sainz mainland, it has only been more than 16 years since the appearance of home magic machinery.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Xu Yi could only helplessly admit that he had asked for this situation.

Because he has always been eager to promote the magic industry industry, he has hardly reserved the technology of household magic machinery, so that many chambers of commerce now have the ability to manufacture household magic machinery, which directly contributes to the new flying card. The sales of household magic machines have triggered competition, thereby reducing the profit of Xinfei brand household magic machines.

The increase in the cost of raw materials and labor is also inseparable from him.

Let’s talk about the artificial aspect first.

Before the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, although the Chamber of Commerce on Sainz mainland did not have a fixed value for the salary level of its employees, for ordinary employees, any chamber of commerce would not give a high salary.

Take the time when the New Flying Chamber of Commerce was just established 17 years ago as an example. At that time, the highest salary given by the Chamber of Commerce in Bangta was only ten gold coins a year.

As soon as the New Flying Chamber of Commerce was established, it actually offered its ordinary employees a high salary of five gold coins a month.

Counting it down, there are as many as sixty gold coins a year!

This salary was an extremely exaggerated amount for Bangta City and the entire Kingdom of Lampari, where most people could barely get hungry at that time, so that almost everyone in Bangta City felt like a new fly. The Chamber of Commerce and Xu Yi are simply crazy.

However, it was precisely because of this that the New Flying Business Association was able to quickly hire enough people to quickly meet the needs of mass production, so that the New Flying Business Association was not even bothered by production at the beginning.

At the same time, this also made the reputation of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce soared, and indirectly helped the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to develop rapidly.

From this point of view, for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

But for other chambers of commerce that also entered this industry after the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, the salary standard set by Xu Yi at the beginning is undoubtedly a heinous crime.

Because the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has already set the standard, if other chambers of commerce want to enter the magic industry in the future, they will not be able to offer a lower salary, otherwise it will be impossible to recruit people, and even more impossible. Skilled workers and skilled workers are recruited from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

So after so many years, because the various chambers of commerce competed with each other, the salary standard rose again and again.

Up to now, the salary of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce does not seem to be high, even among all the chambers of commerce related to the magic industry industry, it can be regarded as low, while the salary standards of other chambers of commerce are much higher.

This in turn affected the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

Before Xinfei’s home magic machinery department had not been separated, it still adhered to the salary standard set by Xu Yi, and no one had any complaints.

After the establishment of the Xinfei Home Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce, Ankato reformulated this salary standard for the purpose of enhancing the morale of the chamber’s staff and establishing its own prestige, making the salary standard of the Xinfei Home Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce in the entire magic industry. Upgraded to a higher level among industry-related chambers of commerce.

As a result, the labor cost of Xinfei Home Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce immediately rose. It was only in May alone, and the expenditure on wages and various benefits was as high as 630,000 gold coins, which is a huge increase compared to the previous one. , Thereby greatly increasing the cost of Xinfei brand home magic machinery.

Then there are raw materials.

When the New Flying Chamber of Commerce was just established, the people on Sainz Continent did not pay much attention to the various raw materials needed to produce magic machinery. Therefore, of all the raw material costs of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, the most expensive was to draw the magic array. Some magic materials needed.

As for the iron ore with the highest consumption, although it is controlled by the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, the price is not high.

And the equally vital magic crystal, because it is almost everywhere, it can be said that it is as worthless as the free gift.

Later, as the magic industry industry received more and more attention, all countries on the mainland paid more and more attention to the raw materials related to the magic industry industry in their own countries.

Naturally, the prices of these raw materials are also increasing.

Take the iron ore with the highest demand as an example. In the first few years, the price of iron ore purchased by the Falco Chamber of Commerce from the Falcao Chamber of Commerce was only about two gold coins per ton, and the smelted pig iron was only about ten gold coins. A 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, while pig iron has soared to 27 gold coins per ton.

Compared to before, it has more than doubled!

Even the magic crystals that weren’t worth a lot of money in the past, except for the very pure high-end goods, were thrown on the ground and no one looked at them. Now they have become an energy material that all magic machines must use, so their prices have skyrocketed.

Taking the New Flying Chamber of Commerce purchased from the Candela Empire as an example of magic crystals that can only meet medium standards, the price has reached ninety-three silver coins per ton.

And because of the huge demand for magic crystals, the price of magic crystals is increasing at a rapid rate.

At this time last year, it was only seventy-six silver coins per ton, but in the past year it has risen to ninety-three silver coins per ton.

At this rate, there will be no pressure to break through one gold coin per ton this year.

The demand for raw materials is accompanied by crazy price increases, which naturally causes a series of problems.

The first is that all countries on the Sainz continent have strengthened their control of various raw material resources in their own country. The two empires of the Candela Empire and the Maro Empire are led, and a large number of countries do not export raw materials at all.

Even the only object of the Candela Empire that will trade in raw materials is the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. The reason is that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is the only chamber of commerce that masters steel smelting, non-ferrous metal smelting, and magic crystal concentration and extraction technology.

In addition, the Candela Empire and the New Flying Business Association have many cooperation projects, so the New Flying Business Association can continue to purchase all kinds of raw materials from the Candela Empire without restrictions.

However, no matter how much discounts are obtained, the prices of these raw materials are still greatly increased, resulting in an increase in the cost of manufacturing magic machinery.

Even so, the situation of other chambers of commerce and other countries on the mainland is even more predictable.

For countries that have sufficient raw material resources in the country, it is better to say that countries that are not rich in resources will naturally have to find other ways to solve this problem.

Among these methods, the most common and easiest one is war.
