Coquettish Rebirth

As a businessman, we have discovered some business opportunities, so we naturally have to delve deeper. What if this business can make money?Apart from the oil industry, there is nothing in Angola that can be exchanged for foreign exchange. If Jia Hongjian develops the fruit industry for export, maybe we can become the king of fruit in Angola and help Angola develop a large What about industry?So soon, Jia Hongjian began to learn about pineapples and other related information.As a result, I don’t know or don’t know, so I was shocked to know—it’s really troublesome to transport a tropical fruit like pineapple to China!First of all, pineapple is afraid of low temperature. If the temperature is lower than 6 degrees, black hearts will easily appear, but the temperature should not be high. If the temperature exceeds 15 degrees, it will easily ripen quickly by itself, and then the inside of the fruit will become fibrous or something. It's not good anyway.Therefore, when it is to be transported, it must be placed in a container with a low-temperature refrigeration function, and the temperature should not be too low.

That adds up to the cost, right?Then the pineapples are not picked when they are green and yellow, and they can be directly sprayed with ethylene to accelerate the ripening when they are about to hit the market.Even if you pick it off at about 8 ripeness and spray it with ethylene to accelerate the ripening, the taste will be worse. It is best to pick it off at 9 ripeness and sell and eat it directly. The taste is the best at this time!If what Jia Hongjian and the others want to do is ordinary fruit business, selling ordinary-grade fruits, then it doesn’t matter if the taste is slightly imperfect, but the problem is that this is imported fruit. If we want to make high-end fruits, the taste is poor. Some are naturally not good.And on the other hand, Jia Hongjian asked someone to check the relevant information in the United States, and found that the United States has done research, saying that pineapples are best stored at 7 degrees Celsius, which can be stored for 4 weeks. longest.

But the problem is to ship from the west coast of Africa to China.The fastest company freight time along the way is 30 days!If it is slow, it will be available for 70 days!Even if your sister’s pineapple is freshly picked and shipped away on the same day, the pineapple will soon rot when it is shipped to China!Not to mention inspection and quarantine after disembarkation, and wholesale transportation.By the time it finally arrives at the retail stand, the Angolan pineapple is already rotten, right?How can this be sold?And if you use air freight.Although it is feasible, it is feasible, but the amount is too small!After all, if it is transported by air, the An-225, the world's largest transport aircraft, has a cargo capacity of only 250 tons, but what about the freighter?It's like the most [-]-ton freighter, that is, the full-load displacement is tens of thousands of tons, and the load capacity is basically close to [-] tons!And this is a small boat in the freight industry!

In later generations, China will have many giant freighters with 10 tons, 20 tons or even 30 tons!30 tons per ship!Or how to say sea freight is the cheapest shipping method?On average, how much can the shipping cost of pineapples be reduced per container?So how about we come by air?Calculated based on the 200 million fuel cost for one flight, and based on the Boeing 747 cargo plane, a plane can only be fully loaded with about 100 tons of cargo.On average, a meal costs 2 yuan for gas, and then averaged to each pineapple.How much more shipping will be added?Even without counting the weight of various outer packages, based on the calculation of a pineapple of 2 kg in Africa, a meal of pineapples is 500. 500 pineapples cost 2 yuan in aircraft fuel, and an average of 40 yuan in fuel is added for each pineapple!This is just the fuel money for the plane, and the transportation company doesn't want to make money anymore?Don't transport it when you go back to China?

Buying pineapples in the market here in Angola costs about 12 yuan a piece. If it is shipped to China by air, just counting the pure transportation cost and purchase price, will it cost 50 yuan a pineapple?If the profit of the transportation company, the profit of Huaxia Hi-Tech, the profit of the wholesaler and the retailer are added, it is possible that the pineapple is less than 80 yuan a piece?Even 100 yuan a piece is normal!Even if it is 2 kg each.The unit price of this catty is also 25 yuan, right?Hiss... 25 a catty, so it doesn't seem to be particularly expensive!You must know that in 2012, Jia Hongjian remembered that the price of plums seemed to be 18 to 20 a catty, which was still the price at the street fruit stalls in Shanghai.This imported pineapple is a bit more expensive than plums... Doesn't it seem very expensive?And after all, we are making high-end imported fruits.It's shipped by air, not domestic pineapples, so it's normal for the price to be higher!

Of course, I think so, but if I really want to do it, it is actually quite risky.After all, the fruit business is a fresh business, not to mention the fruit transported by air across the country, even if the domestic fruit encounters bad luck, it is a person who can lose money and wants to commit suicide.Jia Hongjian is so rich.Naturally, you won't want to commit suicide if you lose money in this business, but even if you are not afraid of losing money.Then you can't rush in like a green head without thinking clearly about the risks!So such a matter has to be considered in the long run, and to be honest, it is considered to be a fruit business.That's not a pineapple that can be done in three or two days. It's also a fruit that is harvested twice a year. That is to say, if you want to invest in the pineapple business, it will take at least half a year to know whether it will be sold or not. You have to study it carefully. !

Speaking of which, Angola's geographical location is really sad enough. Jia Hongjian used to do coca and grow fruits in Bolivia.No matter what people say about Bolivia, there is a passable Argentina around them as an export market, and there are a lot of various juice factories in Argentina, and there is always a place for fruit to be exported.Moreover, although the coca farmers in Bolivia had to grow coca because of poverty in the past, and although they had no culture, those people really worked hard!In order to be able to live a good life, coca farmers are also diligent in farming. I have never seen anyone fishing for two days and drying the net for three days!As for Angola, the only South Africa in the south is passable, but although this South Africa, like Argentina, used to be a developed country and was kicked back to a developing country, but Argentina’s economic crisis caused by the United States and other countries caused their country’s economy Going backwards is completely different from the chaos in South Africa.Johannesburg, South Africa is literally the crime capital of the world right now!

And to be honest, Argentina is different from South Africa. Although it seems that these two countries are one of the southernmost countries in the southern hemisphere, the climate in South Africa is actually much hotter than that in Argentina!The climate in South Africa is a savannah climate mixed with a Mediterranean climate, while Argentina has a temperate and subtropical climate. Overall, South Africa’s fruit production is much higher than that of Argentina!The result is that Bolivia, which has a better geographical location, can export fruit to Argentina, but Angola, which is in a similar location, cannot sell fruit to South Africa, because South Africa itself produces a lot of fruit!Under such circumstances, to sell Angola's fruit to South Africa is really a bit like selling coal from one coal mine to another coal mine...

At the same time, if you want to sell Angola's fruits to Europe, you will have to face competition from South Africa or even the whole of Africa!Under such a situation, it is really better to let Angola find its own way to develop the Chinese market!If the main focus is on the high-end market, coupled with the reputation and brand of Huaxia Hi-Tech in China, it is not impossible to create a high-end fruit brand!However, in addition to the factors of various freight costs and the fruit itself, the infrastructure conditions in Angola are also a factor that restricts the fruit trade-the previous three railway arteries in Angola were basically destroyed during the civil war. It's almost there. Even if it is not damaged, this railway is still enough for Jia Hongjian to catch up with. The overall speed is 40-60 kilometers per hour!Can this thing work?

This speed is much slower than the speed of the road in China!But in Angola, it is still faster than the speed of road transportation. I think the road infrastructure in Angola is a mess—that is, there are some concrete roads and asphalt roads in the city, and the outside of the city is basically Dirt road!Running on this kind of road, how fast can you go?Especially during the rainy season, this place is like a muddy pond!Needless to say, the freight cars in Angola are all purchased from Europe at some point. They look like models from the 70s and [-]s. I don’t know how many years they have been used. Even in China It is a car that will definitely be scrapped!With these cars driving on such a bad road, how much speed can they expect?

So just looking at it from this perspective, to do fruit business is really "If you want to get rich, build roads first"!Without a better infrastructure, if you want to do business in Angola, it is really anxious!However, just when Jia Hongjian finished making such a judgment and wanted to put aside such a judgment and go back to China to take a rest, President Jose heard that Jia Hongjian had come to Angola, and he was suddenly shocked. Suddenly he wanted to invite Jia Hongjian to talk to him about something.What is wrong with President Jose?This was Jia Hongjian's first reaction.After getting acquainted with President Jose, Jia Hongjian really felt that such a president is simply a troublemaker!

But who knows that after he passed by, the president asked a question that surprised Jia Hongjian as soon as he opened his mouth-"Jia, you said that you want your Chinese railway construction company to come over and help us rebuild Angola." How about the Luanda railway artery? Our artery is from the capital Luanda to the eastern agricultural province, a total of 500 kilometers long. It was blown up during the civil war in the 80s, and it was completely abandoned after 92. Now I think it should be rebuilt ? And according to your Chinese saying, if you want to be rich, you need to build the roads first?” I’m going!Does the President know China so well?At that time, Jia Hongjian was a little surprised!
