Chapter 2372 Blocking the Road
Because he has been dealing with data for many years, Chen Mo habitually does some calculations in his mind.
The air ticket costs a little over 300 yuan. Assuming various fees such as airport construction fees and fuel surcharges are added, the cost of flying to Yin Yang Country is about 500 yuan.
Based on this price, calculate the profit of carrying rice to Yin Yang Country.
Those who carry food with them make a lot of trips, and they are almost all VIP "high-quality customers". They can get at least 20% off on air tickets, and some can even get 10% off, so naturally they earn more.
Moreover, those who carry luggage with them are usually gold or platinum card members who fly for a long time and can carry more luggage.
Chen Mo has not calculated these two conditions for the time being, and just calculated them based on the most ordinary passengers.
The airline's rules are that economy class passengers can check in two pieces of luggage, each not exceeding 23 kg, and one piece of hand luggage, not exceeding 10 kg.
Checked luggage needs to be weighed. If we calculate it based on 23 kilograms per piece and you can bring two pieces, that means you can transport 46 kilograms of rice.
Theoretically, the hand luggage limit is 10 kg, but in reality, most of the time, no one weighs the passengers' hand luggage. Therefore, many times, people who carry a lot of food will go crazy and stuff rice into their hand luggage.
Often, the rice-carrying people can stuff 30-50 kg of rice into their hand luggage!!!
Chen Mo's plane was delayed in landing today because the people carrying food on the plane in front of him were carrying too much rice, and the luggage rack of the plane had a weight limit of 38 kilograms, which directly crushed the luggage rack.
Of course, Chen Mo did not take this condition into consideration.
Because he planned to call Feng Hongyang in a while and ask Feng Hongyang to weigh the carry-on luggage flying to Yinyang Country Airport as soon as possible. Any luggage weighing more than 10 kilograms would be charged extra, so that there would be no more such crazy behavior of stuffing rice into carry-on luggage.
So, leaving aside all external factors, the average passenger can carry a maximum of 56 kilograms of rice at a time.
The book profit of each kilogram of rice is 36 yuan, so the profit for an ordinary passenger carrying rice once is 2016 yuan!
After deducting the 1000 yuan round-trip flight fee, the food-carrying group made a net profit of 1016 yuan for each trip carrying rice!
Because Daxia and Yinyang Kingdom are very close, they can travel back and forth twice a day, and the more extreme food-carrying tribes can even travel back and forth three times.
Chen Mo still calculated based on the minimum, so the professional food carriers could earn up to 2032 yuan a day! ! !
Even if 50% of this money is given to the intermediary, the people who carry the money can still earn 3 yuan a month.
What’s even more outrageous is that the people who carry food on their backs transport it in both directions!
They will not return empty-handed from the Yin-Yang Kingdom.
The intermediary will prepare some cosmetics and other purchasing products at the Yin Yang Country Airport.
You can also make a lot of money by going from Yin Yang Kingdom to Da Xia.
Then it is possible to earn 40,000 or 50,000 yuan a month.
What’s even more interesting is that the customs of Yin Yang Country does not check rice!
Even if the Yin-Yang Kingdom investigates, with such a small amount of goods, there would be no risk at all.
The value of the goods shipped in a single batch is too low!!!
With this calculation, the minimum monthly income for those who carry food is more than 4 yuan, if discounted air tickets are taken into account, VIP users can have double luggage, and there is a limit of three round trips a day.
Chen Mo estimated that the maximum monthly income of the food-carrying group should be up to 10.
In other words, the actual monthly income of the grain-carrying group should be 4 to 10 yuan!
Not to mention 2008, even in 2028, this monthly income would be considered high-income in Yin Yang Country or even Hegemony Country!!!
Such huge profits will naturally give birth to a related industrial chain quickly.
As long as the price of a round-trip ticket is less than 1000 yuan, it cannot offset the price difference of rice between the two countries.
There will definitely be a group of people who carry rice back to Yin Yang Kingdom on their backs, taking planes continuously.
After Chen Mo made this calculation, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Well, the Rice version of the Age of Exploration has begun in Yin Yang Country!"
"But why don't these people ship some watermelons or expensive fruits? Wouldn't the price per kilogram be higher?"
The captain smiled and replied: "The reason why there are 'food-carrying tribes' but no 'melon-carrying tribes' or 'apple-carrying tribes' is because of safety issues.
The rice is vacuum-compressed, and the packaging is very small and inconspicuous, making it easy to bring on the plane.
Moreover, rice is a hard currency in Yin Yang Country. It is easy to store, sell, and circulate. It is the most convenient."
“The rice in Yin Yang Country is expensive, but it’s actually the Yin Yang Country Agricultural Cooperative’s fault.
This association took to the streets every day to cause trouble, using the excuse of protecting farmers' interests, and even cut off their own fingers in the streets, and often held nationwide parades.
In the Yin Yang Country, which is ruled by ballots, this group of people is simply unrivaled, and even the emperor has to give in to them."
“The Yinyang National Agricultural Cooperative does not consider the country’s food security at all, and only demands that farmers have high incomes no matter how low their production efficiency is!
Do you think they are protecting the interests of farmers?
no~~no~~no~~~~They are actually protecting the interests of the landlords. After all, how many acres of land can an ordinary farmer have? "
Chen Mo scratched his head and said, "Why are they the same as the farmers' association in Sakura Country?"
There is also an agricultural cooperative in Sakura Country, and its operation is exactly the same as that in Yin Yang Country!
The prices of vegetables and fruits are also outrageously high in the Land of Cherry Blossoms.
The captain sighed, “In fact, the approach that best serves the interests of all the people of Yin Yang Country is to only allow the majority of arable land to grow staple food, with state finances providing subsidies, and a small portion of arable land to grow vegetables, with other agricultural products imported from foreign countries.
In this way, the interests of all people at all levels can be taken into account, and this is also the practice of our Great Xia country.
"But the Yin Yang Country doesn't do that!
The Yin Yang State government does not provide any subsidies, nor does it force people to grow crops on farmland. Instead, it implements a comprehensive agricultural product ban policy. Because the original purpose of the policy was to make the landlords of Yin Yang State rich, not for national food security, nor for the jobs of the people of Yin Yang State. "
Chen Mo nodded: "The Sansang Group is one of the largest landlords in Yin Yang Country. It started out by selling grain. Now Sansang also sells rice, and its share in Yin Yang Country is quite high.
Tsk tsk tsk, the hermaphrodite is really interesting, creating a chaebol to erode the interests of its own people, while the people regard this vampire as a national treasure and national pride! "
The captain also laughed: "Yes, Yin Yang Country is a developed country. Although the people have high incomes, all of it is taken away by agricultural products.
This year, the average monthly income of the people in Yinyang has almost reached 1 yuan.
But people still can’t eat meat, vegetables and fruits freely. In fact, eating meat and fruits is considered a luxury in the families of Yin Yang Country.”
"In the 90s, the average annual rice consumption of Yinyangguo residents reached 112.9 kilograms, but this year the figure has dropped to 60 kilograms."
"After nearly 30 years of development, the amount of food that ordinary people in Yinyang Country can eat has been declining year by year. In the end, even eating kimchi and instant noodles can be regarded as a "luxury life."
What do you mean by this? "
Chen Mo said with emotion: "In order to transport rice to the hermaphrodites, our plane was overloaded, and our cabin luggage racks were crushed by the rice, which has endangered aviation safety. But in order to let the hermaphrodites have enough food and avoid starvation, it's all worth it!"
"Who told us that the Daxia nation is a nation of love?"
After saying that, Chen Mo took out his phone and called Feng Hongyang:
"Master Feng, I have a question for you. It's like this..."
“Well, from now on, the problem of luggage rack overloading on planes flying to Yin Yang Country must be strictly checked!
Before going on camera, agricultural products must be strictly inspected and it is not allowed to take excessive amounts of agricultural products out of the country!
Don't let these rubbish earn a dime!!!"
