Chapter 5: Make money! Make money! (Ch 807576612)

March 20th.
The Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal in Macau.
Jiang Miao got off the boat with a backpack on his back.
Not far away was the Aojing Racing Center. He picked up his phone, took a few photos, and walked slowly to Friendship Avenue.
There are taxis parked on the side of the road.
Just get in one.
“Taxi, to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.”
“Hold on tight, pretty boy.”
After a while, the taxi stopped in front of the hotel.
Jiang Miao came down carrying a backpack.
After checking into the hotel, we took a taxi to the Royal Palace Casino, which is also on Friendship Avenue.
The magnificent gate.
Jiang Miao, carrying a small shoulder bag, walked into the Royal Palace Casino very calmly.
It was already evening and there were already quite a few guests in the hall.
Come directly to the front desk.
“Give me fifty thousand chips.”
The receptionist glanced at him, took the Hong Kong dollars Jiang Miao took out, and after checking the money, gave him 50,000 chips.
Jiang Miao, who had made a plan before coming, did not wander around. He looked at the sign for a while and went directly to the poker table.
I found a blackjack table and sat down.
“Do you mind adding me?”
“Welcome!” a greasy uncle with a big belly replied with a smile.
Another young man with a hedgehog head took a sip of Coke and said, “Sure, let’s play together!”
“Handsome boy, is this your first time here?” another yellow-haired man with tattoos asked in Cantonese.
“Yes!” Jiang Miao nodded with a smile.
An hour later, Jiang Miao’s chips increased from 50,000 to 370,000.
Among those gamblers, except for the greasy uncle, other new customers have been replaced.
Another two hours passed.
Jiang Miao’s chips soared again to 1.26 million.
He had dinner at the Palace Casino and continued playing for another two hours, until his stack was down to 970,000 chips.
At the front desk.
“Exchange the chips and deposit them directly into my card.”
The receptionist smiled and nodded, taking the chips and the bank card she had applied for in Hong Kong yesterday: “No problem, please wait a moment.”
Ten minutes later, Jiang Miao left calmly.
Next, for four consecutive days, he went to one casino a day and turned the amount in his bank card into 27.38 million.
On the fifth day, he returned to Hong Kong.
Arrived at the Bank of China branch in Hong Kong.
“Hello, what business do you want to handle?”
“Remittance, the amount is quite large!”
“Please come to the private room.”
Two hours later, Jiang Miao successfully turned 27.38 million Hong Kong dollars into 24.89 million red notes.
Immediately afterwards, he sent a WeChat message to his uncle, saying that he had returned to the mainland.
That afternoon, Jiang Miao entered the country through Pengcheng Port with a backpack, then took the high-speed rail. After more than an hour, he returned to the Hailufeng urban high-speed rail station.
In less than a week, he completed the initial primitive accumulation.
After returning home, I first took a look at the eels in the tank, and then put some things I bought from Hong Kong on the table.
He took a hot bath.
Then I lay in bed, thinking about what to do next.
Now we have the money. Although 20 million is not a lot, it is still enough to set up a breeding farm in the early stage.
After all, if you want to breed eels, you need a large space.
Fortunately, there is a large fish pond in the nearby Magong Town. There were also many fish ponds, shrimp ponds and oyster ponds in his hometown of Xinxiang, but unfortunately they were requisitioned in recent years.
“At least 50 mu of fish ponds are needed. The fish ponds near Magong cost about 1,500 yuan per mu per year, which is about 45,000 yuan per year.”
“The equipment and materials for the fish pond cost about one million yuan; building a fully enclosed breeding farm of about 5 mu would cost about five million yuan.”
“And if we want to get fry quickly, we have to buy semi-mature white eels instead of glass eels, which is also an expense.”
“Then there are labor costs, water and electricity costs, feed, consumables, and medicines. At least five million yuan must be reserved for these.”
“And we need to ensure the reproduction efficiency of eels. If we use wild algae, the efficiency is too low. We have to cultivate algae artificially, which is also an expense.”
Jiang Miao recalled that there are three types of algae that eels need.
They are “needle-shaped blue fiber algae”, “sheathed filamentous algae” and “lobed pseudo-nodular algae” respectively.
In addition, the content of certain minerals in the eel’s body must meet the standards. If it does not meet the standards, the eel will not change.
However, minerals are easier to handle.
Jiang Miao picked up his notebook and wrote down with a pen the things that needed to be purchased or produced by himself.
For example, as long as algae can be directly mass-produced, there is no need to use expensive hormones and drugs to induce eels to degenerate.
This is the core of reducing costs and increasing efficiency in artificial breeding of eels.
At the same time, Jiang Miao was very clear that this technology could not be hidden from the prying eyes of some people.
After all, his farm needs to hire people, and the feed and medicines he purchased are easy for others to find out what medicines and feed he used as long as they have an idea and pay some money.
Therefore, in the business of selling eel fry, you have to act quickly and ship in large quantities as soon as possible to take in the first wave of quick money. Then, after other companies imitate you, you can directly lower the price to a marginal profit, leaving other companies with no way to recover their costs in a short period of time.
To do this, the scale of the first wave of eel fry shipments must reach at least one hundred tons, swallowing up the entire Asian market.
Jiang Miao has studied the scale of eel fry in recent years, and found that it was only about 60 to 70 tons during the peak period.
As long as his company can achieve an annual output of 100 tons of eel fry, other companies must consider whether they can make a profit before entering this market.
After all, market demand is the primary guide.
If the market suddenly has sufficient goods, and the profits of goods show a downward trend, other companies will not enter the market immediately, but will choose to hold their money and wait and see.
Although Jiang Miao attaches great importance to the eel fry industry, he does not regard it as a core industry.
After all, this eel breeding technology is difficult to keep completely secret.
Although it is possible to use the law to curb some companies by applying for patents, it is too easy to circumvent this type of breeding technology patent.
Moreover, there is no way to monitor those small companies or foreign companies at all.
Jiang Miao also doesn’t want to be involved in lawsuits all day long, so using the first-mover advantage, coupled with a price war in the later stages, is the best option at the moment.
After thinking about the general idea.
He plans to ask his brother-in-law for help tomorrow to rent a suitable fish pond in Ma Gong.
Then register a sole proprietorship.
However, I have now contacted a patent agency in Pengcheng online and asked them to help me register domestic and international patents for eel breeding technology.
After agreeing on the price and other matters, Jiang Miao gave the other party a deposit.
This patent is directly registered under his personal name.
After completing this matter, I found a local company to register the agency, and both parties agreed to meet tomorrow afternoon.
The reason why Jiang Miao was in a hurry to set up a company was that he didn’t want to waste his energy on miscellaneous things.
For example, if you are looking for a patent agent today, you can completely hand it over to an assistant and there is no need to do it yourself.
As for the company’s future positioning, Jiang Miao naturally hopes that it will become a technology company.
Technological crushing is the kingly way, while business strategies, conspiracies and tricks are ultimately side paths.
Jiang Miao, who owns the identification system, has a huge advantage in technology.
Therefore, he does not need any business genius or commercial genius to join him. All he needs are honest and hardworking employees.
