After receiving several guests, Mu Yang rarely had any leisure time in the next few days.

Speaking of leisure, the main reason is that he does not let others disturb him. If it is not a very important matter, he tells the secretary not to come to him.

Otherwise, if all kinds of people, such as suppliers, dealers, partners, relatives and friends, superiors, etc., really have to deal with it, Mu Yang will immediately become a super busy man.

As a person's influence increases, various people will try to please him. As long as they get a little benefit from Mu Yang, for them, it may be a big cake, enough to make them rich for a lifetime.

In the past few days, Mu Yang has been sorting out aluminum alloy matters, such as factory investment, how many sets of equipment are needed, how many tons of aluminum alloy a set of equipment can produce per year, how much investment is needed, how much area the factory covers, and how many personnel are needed.

Where is the best place to build a factory, when should it be built and put into production, etc. Most of these things are best done by him.

It really wouldn't work if it were another person or group.

Because he is the only one who is most familiar with the equipment he designed.

Mu Yang is so troubled, in addition to layout and breaking the technical barriers of foreigners, he is also interested in the profits 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 of the technology is mainly the heat treatment process and the advanced equipment.

Muyang does not plan to buy aluminum ore for smelting, nor does he plan to engage in electrolytic aluminum, etc., but directly purchases aluminum ingots.

The annual output of aluminum in the country is several million tons. The cost of buying aluminum ingots is not high. From aluminum ores to aluminum ingots, most factories can smelt them. The profits of these aluminum factories are not high.

What Xinghai Group has to do is to remove slag and dust (remove impurities first), refining, alloying, casting, sawing and homogenization.

In addition, the amount he needs is not small, but not the amount of titanium alloy.

The smelting of aluminum ingots would emit polluting gases and impurities, so he did not plan to place the aluminum factory at the headquarters base. It is estimated that the environmental protection department in H City did not agree with Xinghai Group's move. Mu Yang did not want the environmental protection department to come to check the water meter every day.

The headquarters base is positioned as a high-tech industrial park and will not have any polluting factories. For example, welding factories will be avoided as much as possible. Otherwise, smoke and dust removal equipment must be installed to prevent them from being discharged into the atmosphere.

In addition, the foundry consumes a lot of electricity, so it would be very troublesome if power is cut off. It cannot be placed in a city with concentrated electricity consumption.

He does not intend to place the aluminum factory too far away. It is best to be closer to major automobile factories to facilitate supply.

In the next two days, he will decide on this matter and enter the state of investment and factory construction in advance, so that the equipment can be slowly produced.

So,

How much is the profit from aluminum alloy?

Let’s start with the raw material aluminum ingots.

The price of aluminum ingots this year has been as low as 14,500 yuan/ton and as high as 18,000 yuan/ton, with an average price of 16,000 yuan/ton; it is slightly cheaper than ten years later, which was generally around 20,000 yuan. After all, labor costs and aluminum ore costs are much higher.

Of course, aluminum ingot prices are most affected by capital.

This aluminum ingot generally refers to AL99.7, which means the aluminum purity reaches more than 99.7%. This purity is generally traded in the international market.

So, what is the cost of smelting aluminum ingots into aluminum alloys?

The cost of each model of aluminum alloy mainly depends on the cost of aluminum. Generally, the aluminum content accounts 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 very low.

Therefore, the material cost of aluminum alloy can be calculated based on the price of aluminum ingots.

In fact, the price of finished aluminum alloy plates is not much higher than that of aluminum ingots.

Aluminum alloy price = aluminum ingot price + processing price + other costs + gross profit margin

The processing fee varies depending on the production process and other related factors. At this time in 2010, it was about 2,500-5,000 yuan/ton, which refers to the production cost of processing aluminum ingots into finished aluminum alloy products.

Other costs, such as logistics costs, packaging costs, sales costs, R&D costs, management costs, etc., can range from a few hundred yuan to a thousand yuan if the quantity is large.

Due to fierce competition, the gross profit margin of aluminum plants is very small. If the aluminum ingot is 16,000 yuan/ton, the general market price of aluminum alloy is about 23,000 yuan/ton. If the quantity is small, it will be about 25,000 yuan/ton. Of course,

There are big differences depending on the model and product.

But generally speaking, 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 automobile manufacturers buy directly from aluminum factories. It is definitely much cheaper. The actual market price may be 40,000-45,000 yuan.

/ton, and the price is before tax.

Xinghai Group’s customer target is automobile manufacturers. Take 6009 aluminum alloy as an example. The ex-factory price given to automobile manufacturers is 30,000 yuan/ton. Even if it is 5,000 yuan/ton lower than 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 post-service services like selling equipment products. Warranty deposits and the like are all inspected on the spot. It is a 100% cash transaction. You pay the money and the aluminum factory will provide the goods.

There is rarely such a thing as a payment delay.

Unless there is a large number of quality problems, the only option is to return the product, but this is very rare.

The profit situation of aluminum alloy is roughly the same.

If it is put into production, Xinghai Group will have another cornucopia.

After sorting out the general direction, we began to calculate the investment in a factory with an annual output of 200,000 tons of aluminum alloy.

(The annual output is planned to be 500,000 tons, and the first phase is to produce 200,000 tons per year.)

Excluding holidays, the daily output will reach 600 tons.

For example, there is a very important equipment for the production of aluminum alloys, which is used for melting, heat preservation and refining of molten aluminum alloys. Most aluminum plants use round-top uncovered melting furnaces. Generally, the loading capacity of medium-sized equipment is 6 tons/furnace (melting pool).

Diameter 4 meters, depth 650mm), using natural gas as fuel, melting speed 4-6 hours, plus the heat preservation and refining time, one furnace takes 8-10 hours.

Smelting generally does not stop in the middle, and is produced 24 hours a day. Because the preheating furnace takes a long time, one furnace is completed and then the next furnace is completed to reduce energy consumption.

If such medium-sized equipment is used to produce 600 tons of aluminum alloy per day, 34-42 such equipment are needed.

Mu Yang's newly purchased aluminum alloy technology from Chengdian Store has designed equipment that is much better than conventional ones, mainly in terms of energy consumption and automation.

He will use a large smelting 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 insulation process used is different, slightly longer, and one furnace

The production time is 5-7 hours, and it can produce 68-96 tons per day. The daily production of 600 tons of aluminum alloy requires up to 10 pieces of equipment.

Muyang calculated each piece of equipment and wrote an investment prospectus.

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 suburbs of Yangfu District, H City, with an annual output of 200,000 tons of aluminum alloy and an annual output value of about 6 billion yuan.

There are about 70 or 80 foundries of various sizes in H City, mainly concentrated in the suburbs of Yangfu District. Muyang had no problem choosing this area.

The second factory is scheduled to be located in the Pearl River Delta. The specific city has not yet been determined. We will first implement the investment in the first factory.

The total investment of the first aluminum alloy factory project is 1 billion yuan, with an industrial land area of ​​200 acres and an annual output value of 6 billion yuan.

The factory is required to be completed in 4-5 months. After delivery, it is required to be put into production within two months. The actual cycle is 7-8 months, and the time is relatively tight.

The investment has reached 1 billion yuan, and the investment intensity per mu is very high. It is mainly spent on investment in automation equipment, at least 500 million yuan, and a total of 10 production lines.
