It was precisely because Zhu Qiushui put all her energy into these things that Zhu Qiushui knew less and less about the company's affairs. If it wasn't for Leng Xunxin's wife asking her how much money the Daqian had lost, she wouldn't have known that the Daqian had such a big incident in the United States.
So, Zhu Qiushui came to ask Boss Jia curiously.
However, Zhu Qiushui knew Boss Jia very well. She clearly knew that her husband could choose not to make money, but he would definitely not lose money. Moreover, he liked to plan before taking action.
Jia Yapeng had never set foot in the United States since 2001. Obviously, he was extremely vigilant against the United States. She didn't believe that Jia Yapeng would be unguarded against the United States breaking their promises. Therefore, Jia Yapeng definitely didn't lose money.
Moreover, he was still smiling when he was dreaming. This was definitely not the look of losing money.
"Yes, we didn't lose money!" In the face of his wife's inquiry, Boss Jia replied with a smile.
"Then, did we make money?" Zhu Qiushui's expression relaxed and then asked with a smile.
"We did make some money!" Boss Jia was still smiling.
"How much?"
"Guess!"
"10 billion?"
"20 billion?"
"Don't tell me that you made 50 billion!" Zhu Qiushui proposed several numbers. Boss Jia smiled and shook his head. In the end, 100 billion popped out, but Boss Jia still smiled and didn't answer.
"If you don't tell me the truth, I'll ask you for five times today!" Zhu Qiushui licked her lips and said. Boss Jia instantly shuddered.
When he was young, five times a night was considered a blessing.
But now, it was too much. Once or twice was okay, but if he really asked for five times, Boss Jia estimated that he would turn into a human being.
So, Boss Jia quickly said, "In fact, it's not much. We just made 300 billion US dollars!"
"How much!!!" Zhu Qiushui's eyes widened, and he almost fainted.
"It should be 300 billion. There are still some numbers that haven't been calculated. The specific financial report hasn't been released, but it shouldn't be lower than this number!" Boss Jia said leisurely. If these words were to spread to the world, the people of the world would explode on the spot.
The question was, did Boss Jia really make 300 billion USD?
This was also Zhu Qiushui's problem. Anyway, he had nothing to do, and he couldn't brag without an audience. Boss Jia simply gave his wife a detailed analysis of the origin of the US dollars.
Boss Jia first calculated how much money he had lost.
Outsiders said that Boss Jia had lost all of his 200 billion USD. After all, the Daqian would rather pay 1% interest every year than withdraw all of its invested companies. This meant that the 200 billion USD was indeed spent!
But in fact, if the US $200 billion was chopped off by a zero, the US $20 billion would not even be spent.
According to the estimates of all the financial magazines and media, the Daqian should have spent the most money on the purchase of various kinds of equipment.
But in reality, the most money was spent on the lease of land.
The Daqian had a total of 100,000 power stations in the United States. The average rent was around 80,000 USD per year. That was 8 billion USD per year, and 16 billion USD per two years.
This was also the reason why Da Qian insisted on signing the contract every year when he rented the land and never paid any deposit. It was because Boss Jia knew that Da Qian did not intend to let the Lace Electric Company start operating at all. Therefore, he had to sign the contract every year and did not pay any deposit. His purpose was to save money.
Look, they only spent 16 billion USD in two years. If they signed a 10-year contract, they would have to pay a year's worth of liquidated damages. That would be 24 billion USD. They lost 8 billion USD for nothing!
Some people might be confused. Didn't they say that they only lost less than 20 billion USD?
Then the rent alone was 16 billion USD. Did they only lose less than 4 billion USD for the equipment?
But according to the estimates of all the financial media in the world, the loss of the equipment reached 180 billion USD!
The media wasn't wrong. Because according to the cost of the construction of the power stations, the purchase cost of 100,000 power stations was 60 billion USD. The average cost of the equipment for a power station was around 600,000 USD. The cost of building a power station in Europe was about the same. It was clearly written on the purchase list. There was no mistake.
But the problem was that the manufacturer of the equipment was Daqian Energy Equipment Co., Ltd. It was the Daqian's own company. In other words, Lace Electric purchased the equipment from their own company.
The purchase price of the equipment was up to Da Qian to quote as he wished!
As mentioned earlier, the cost of building a power station for the Daqian in China was around 300,000 RMB, which was less than 40,000 USD. 100,000 power stations cost exactly 4 billion USD.
In other words, the Daqian made 56 billion USD just from the purchase of the equipment.
Out of the 200 billion USD investment, 100 billion USD was from other automobile companies. So, even if Lace Electric operated normally, Boss Jia's 100 billion USD investment was only 44 billion USD. Great!
But the amazing thing was that no one in the United States thought this price was outrageous.
Because in the United States, if one wanted to invest in a gas station, the equipment investment would be more than 1 million USD. So, 600,000 USD of equipment to build a power station was too much. The Daqian didn't make any money!
According to the calculations of the foreign media, the rental cost of the land was around 20 billion USD, and the production cost of the equipment was 60 billion USD. Where did the other 120 billion USD go?
The heavy burden was on the batteries and the buildings.
According to the foreign media, the cost of the buildings couldn't be estimated, but the cost of the batteries could be estimated.
According to the Daqian's own budget, each power station required an average of 500 batteries for charging and replacement. So, 100,000 power stations would require 50 million batteries.
The Daqian quoted 2000 USD for each battery, so the cost of the batteries would be 100 billion USD.
There was also the 20 billion construction cost. This price was very reasonable. After all, the local construction companies in the US were known for being expensive and difficult to deal with. 20 billion was enough to build 100,000 power stations. This company must have asked Madam Wang to bargain with them!
So, how much did the Daqian actually spend?
First of all, the batteries were worth 100 billion USD. This profit was not as exaggerated as the power station equipment. The cost of 4 billion USD, the price of 60 billion USD was 15 times higher.
After all, the main cost of the batteries, other than the research and development cost, was the cost of the various chemical materials. The cost of the chemical materials for each battery was around 500 USD. This was real, and the Daqian couldn't fake it.
But because the technology was lead-acid batteries, the Daqian's production line was very mature. The average production cost of each battery was stable at less than 20 USD. 100 billion USD worth of batteries meant 48 billion USD of profit, which was much less than the power station equipment.
So, if the battery cost 52 billion USD, why was the cost less than 20 billion USD in the end?
The answer was simple. Because the batteries weren't produced at all.
