Chapter 92: Chapter 89: It’s here! (Major Chapter)
Administrative Committee’s Ground Floor.
Xu Yun took the tablet from Yang Hongzhi’s hand, shifting his gaze onto it.
A sort of internal system displayed a row of selectable targets, each accompanied by a drone-shot aerial image as an avatar.
He casually tapped on one of the top images, a perfectly square white factory, with seven photos on its detail page.
The information column showed that its area was six thousand square meters, with a usable area of four thousand three hundred square meters.
Beside it was a map of the High-tech Zone, marked with a red dot indicating the building’s location.
"Six thousand square meters..... that’s approximately an 80x80 specification?"
Looking at this data, a similar model quickly emerged in Xu Yun’s mind.
Generally speaking.
An 11-a-side football field is 105x68 meters, roughly over seven thousand square meters.
University football fields are generally smaller, including the track, just over six thousand square meters, while high school ones are often closer to standard specs.
According to the table information.
Excluding external pathways and some scattered areas, the usable area of such a factory is four thousand three hundred square meters.
Approximately 60x70 shape.
This area might be slightly excessive for Huadun Biotech’s phase one factory. After all, the production process for Imidacloprid isn’t too complex, enough space for seven or eight production lines.
Expanding production capacity for large molecule drugs is pretty easy; the technical barrier lies more in the principle than in the process, so there’s no need to prepare for expansion in advance.
For example, the once-famous Brain Platinum, its main component is actually melatonin, which is simple to produce.
That’s how Mr. Shi could supply the entire nation within a week and a half, having only prepared the supplies for Zhejiang Province and Shanghai.
So, based on discussions with Xu Yun and Gu Qunqing, the land area for the phase one factory doesn’t need to be large.
A usable area around 2000 square meters would be about right, larger would be unnecessary.
It’s mainly to guide the company’s production management onto the right track as quickly as possible.
With products, a company really feels like a company, stabilizing the hearts of everyone involved, much like a home feels more like a home with a house.
And if the factory exceeds 2000 square meters, some rent might be wasted, which would be quite unnecessary.
Bear in mind.
Factory contracts aren’t like real estate leases where you can negotiate monthly payments.
Even with Ke Da as a backbone, contracts require at least two quarters upfront, that’s six months.
If the other party insists, it might start at a year.
The rental prices in High-tech Zones differ from those in towns; independent factory yards in towns cost about a hundred thousand a year for over a thousand square meters, which averages to roughly 10 yuan per square meter per month.
Prices in High-tech Zones are considerably higher because the factories there are generally of steel structure.
Generally speaking.
Monthly rent per square meter in a prefecture-level city’s High-tech Zone is around 25 yuan.
Prices in national-level High-tech Zones are even higher, one square meter is about 60-100 yuan, higher configuration factories can go from 150 to 300 per month.
Companies like Huadun Biotech producing bio-pesticides have high hardware demand indicators.
Xu Yun estimated that even with Ke Da’s backing, rent could be over a hundred per square meter monthly. (Referencing Bayer’s 2020 financial report, Jiaoao Rongcheng Factory, 4700 square meters annual rent 6.77 million)
100x6300, a month is 630,000, two quarters with six months is 350+.
The company’s financing cash flow is only 13 million.
Subsequent expenses, whether for product promotion, staff salaries, or production line setups, involve significant spending.
Especially product promotion, that’s indisputably a money burner, most of the financing must go into this segment.
Therefore, Xu Yun temporarily classified this factory under pending consideration and continued looking.
"Twenty thousand square meters, let’s pass on that directly...."
"Four hundred square meters, a two-level factory, this one’s a bit too small...."
"Hmm? Sixteen hundred square meters, the size is alright, but too far from the main road... let’s classify this under pending too."
Though there were only twenty-three factories, the selection process was still rather mentally taxing.
Xu Yun and Gu Qunqing analyzed while selecting, with Tang Yiqiu occasionally chiming in with comments, half an hour flew by like that.
"This one’s still a bit too small, and the owner is on a discredited list, forget it, too unlucky...."
After half an hour, Xu Yun habitually excluded an option, glancing at the next candidate.
A few seconds later, he let out a light exclamation:
"Hmm? Near the main road of Jinyong Road, with a land area of 2400 square meters and a usable area of 1777, this one seems quite promising?"
Next to him, Gu Qunqing also came over upon hearing this, nodding frequently after checking some related data:
"Vinyl ester resin cured anti-corrosion system, very high durability, ccie less than 4%, such specifications are quite rare..."
Looking further, his gaze suddenly locked onto the past rental company list at the last line:
"Goodness, no wonder the specs are so high, turns out it was Novartis’ factory?"
Upon hearing the word Novartis, Yang Hongzhi, who was observing Xu Yun’s expression, immediately understood to whom Gu Qunqing was referring:
"Dr. Xu, Mr. Gu, are you talking about the factory numbered P652?"
