WPG's Reasonable Scale, Temporarily Lowering Dividend Rights, Unscrupulous Senior Brother Cheating Junior Siblings, Right?

Yan Bingyue meant that An Wuyang's proposed hundredfold expansion was unreasonable!

This kind of unchecked expansion could easily destroy the existing supply-and-demand balance for pearl groupers.

Although the gross profit margin for farming pearl groupers currently appeared to be around fifty percent, making it quite profitable, that margin was dynamically adjusted according to market supply and demand.

Suppose they really followed An Wuyang's suggestion and rashly invested in a pearl grouper farm spanning ten thousand mu. The purchase price of pearl groupers would inevitably plummet.

That raised a problem: with greater costs invested and gross profit margins collapsing, how long would it take to recoup the investment?

Yan Bingyue had already roughly calculated the answer in his mind!

Based on a stocking density of one thousand pearl groupers per mu, a farm spanning ten thousand mu, plus cost reductions from building their own fry breeding plant, fish feed factory, and so on, the cost per pearl grouper could possibly be reduced to around ten yuan.

Then, considering the sudden one-third increase in pearl grouper supply, the estimated purchase price would fall from thirty yuan to around twenty yuan.

Of course, this was only a rough projection and assessment, not the actual situation.

After incorporating Yan Bingyue's new technology, a massive farm spanning ten thousand mu would produce twenty million pearl groupers every year.

With a rough gross profit of around ten yuan per fish, the annual gross profit could reach two hundred million.

That sounded like quite a lot, didn't it?

But in reality, the total investment for a ten-thousand-mu mega-farm would be between 1.6 and 2 billion!

It would take eight years, perhaps even ten years, to recover the investment.

Some people might think that was not such a big deal.

But that was merely a mathematical calculation. It
