Chapter 783(1/2)
silk flower?
Xiong Ying knew: Aren't they just the kind of fake flowers made from chemical fiber cloth?
In Southeast Asia, people from many countries like to use this kind of silk flowers to decorate their homes.
At the same time, during festivals, their relatives and friends also like to buy a handful of these flowers when they visit their graves.
Southeast Asian countries are hot, so it is not difficult to plant some flowers in front of, behind, or on the windowsill, but people still like to use silk flowers.
Just because this kind of silk flowers made of chemical fiber cloth, compared to fresh flowers, does not matter the season, you can buy your favorite flower varieties at any time.
For example, if a relative or friend who has passed away likes carnations or lilies, then when she goes to buy such silk flowers, she can buy them at any time.
Moreover, this kind of artificial flower lasts longer, so you don’t have to worry about it withering overnight...
Nowadays, this new type of silk flower is very popular throughout Southeast Asia, and the price is not cheap.
It's just that Xiong Ying knew it.
But across the world, Xiong Ying is busy with the tedious tasks of recycling the company every day. How could she possibly understand the market situation of an inconspicuous fake flower?
"How much potential does this...have?"
Xiong Ying knew that it was impossible for Luo Xuan to lose everything, so he pondered and asked: "The silk flower hair style seems to have just emerged not long ago, and now it seems that the sales volume is not particularly large, and it is used by me to recycle beverage bottles, and there are
What’s the connection?”
"Plastic bottles can be drawn and then woven into chemical fiber cloth."
Luo Xuan said: "Those manufacturers that currently produce silk flowers are actually not worthy of being called factories, they are all small workshops.
What's more important is that they entrust the weaving factory to produce this kind of chemical fiber cloth, which is all made of raw materials, which is very expensive."
Nowadays, the economies of many regions around the world are developing rapidly, and they have a huge demand for various petroleum derivatives.
more importantly,
Because of Mr. Sha and his group of relatives, they have now united.
These local tycoons have unified their stance on the oil they produce, uniformly allocated production quotas, and jointly formulated a mechanism for oil export prices.
On the one hand, oil demand is soaring.
On the other hand, these major oil exporters are unwilling to sell at a cheap price.
This has caused the prices of entire petroleum products, and by extension petrochemical products, to skyrocket.
“Can plastic bottles be drawn and then used to weave chemical fiber cloth?”
Xiong Ying began to understand, "According to what you said, Luo Xuan, wouldn't the cost of the chemical fiber cloth produced by my company be much lower?"
Luo Xuan nodded.
"It's just that the plastic bottles I took back were simply sorted and cleaned.
If you want to use this kind of raw material to produce chemical fiber fabrics, the current sorting will inevitably be refined again."
Xiong Ying was thinking about how to clearly and completely classify the waste plastic bottles of various colors.
Because Xiong Ying's purpose of producing chemical fiber cloth is not to produce raincoats and rain shields like other textile factories.
and raw materials for making silk flowers.
Xiong Ying needs to specialize, simplify and specialize.
Then the chemical fiber cloth she produces is very targeted and must meet the standards that can be used to make silk flowers.
"Don't worry about cost control."
Luo Xuan enlightened Xiong Ying: "The most expensive part of your production is manual sorting of plastic bottles.
But this is only temporary.
Start sorting manually first. At the same time, you can entrust a local university to conduct research on the identification system of plastic bottles... This problem can be irradiated with light, and then use machines to accurately sort based on the different color spectra reflected back.
Even if there is a certain error rate, this can be fixed manually by improving the light recognition accuracy and arranging several workers."
Xiong Ying thought for a while, "Indeed, it is feasible to use machines to replace manual sorting. I will contact the University of Kuala Lumpur after I go back to see if this problem can be solved as soon as possible."
Other small workshops want to use expensive machines to completely replace manual sorting of plastic bottles.
One is that they simply don’t have that strength.
Second, there is not enough demand to stimulate them to invest such a huge amount of money.
Another point is that the number of bottles they take back is so small that sorting such a small amount of plastic bottles is not worth starting.
But these problems are not a problem in front of Xiong Ying, who has already achieved scale and will have enough motivation in the future.
If you follow Luo Xuan's idea: purchase a large number of plastic bottles, and then accurately sort the red, blue, purple, and yellow bottles.
Thus,
You can get plastic bottles with uniform colors, and then crush them to get plastic particles without any color.
Those plastic particles can then be sent to the drawing workshop for melting and drawing.
Thereby producing chemical fiber that meets the specifications.
As long as the fibers have sufficient toughness and stability, it is a very simple matter to weave these fibers into chemical fiber fabrics of various colors.
To put it bluntly, these fibers can be spun into cloth using those old antique spinning wheels.
What's more, in this era where textile machinery is extremely perfect?
Currently in the international market, those manufacturers that produce similar chemical fiber cloth products, the chemical fiber cloths they produce are all white.
This is called base cloth.
If customers want to use this chemical fiber cloth to produce raincoats or silk flowers, they need to send it to a printing and dyeing factory.
Perform color processing.
Because the colors of silk flowers are relatively bright, the colors used are also diverse.
In this way, the cost they spend on the printing and dyeing process alone cannot be too low.
However, the chemical fiber fabrics produced by Xiong Ying have their own colors.
If a certain color is not bright enough, just add some colorant.
If the fabric of a certain color is not enough, you can go directly to the market to purchase a little bit as a supplement.
But the most important and largest quantity of raw materials comes from Xiong Ying's own factory.
In this way, Xiong Ying's company can save a lot of time costs in printing and dyeing, transportation and waiting.
When competing with others, it naturally has a cost advantage.
"This is a good idea!"
After understanding the key points, Xiong Ying was fat and clapped his hands fiercely, "Why didn't I think of further processing these plastic particles and pulling them into chemical fibers?"
Xiong Ying used to sell plastic pellets, although he could still make considerable profits.
But after all, it only belongs to the category of selling raw materials. No matter how high the profit is, how can we get it?
It's like selling rare earths.
If a ton of molybdenum iron ore reaches the sky, how much can it be sold for?
The price of purified and processed molybdenum has increased dozens of times!
Another example is that the raw materials for making Wujiang pickled mustard are as cheap as tap water, but what happens after deep processing?
In the same way, Xiong Ying's company sells crushed plastic particles as raw materials every year.
If in-depth processing is carried out, one can imagine how much profit it can bring to Xiong Ying's company?
Now Xiong Ying really understands: only deep processing is the way to go!
Xiong Ying used to think that he had already used waste recycling to the extreme, but now it seems that he has only just scratched the surface!
"How is the sales of silk flowers? Oh, Luo Xuan, don't get me wrong. I will definitely implement the idea you just put forward to the letter.
Even if we don't make silk flowers, the market capacity of just selling chemical fiber cloth is still very large."
Xiong Ying, who knew that if he followed what Luo Xuan said, he would definitely make a profit, he still had the slightest doubt: "If my company follows the ideas you provided, Luo Xuan.
The amount of chemical fiber fabrics that can be produced every year will not be too small."
"Silk flower sales are huge."
Luo Xuan gave her an affirmative answer: "The trend of using silk flowers as home decoration and making sacrificial supplies has just begun.
You have to eat shit while it’s hot!
And don’t forget, this sleeping giant..."
Luo Xuan pointed to the sky: "Once China starts to release huge demand, what will your current production capacity mean?
Even if you take back all the used plastic bottles in Southeast Asia, it won’t be enough!
The market capacity of the Huanghuang Celestial Dynasty is not comparable to that of small countries similar to city-states...it's not in the same weight class!"
