It's really interlaced like a mountain, I a barber thinks that the excavator is easy to make money, so I rushed into the industry, spent 800,000 yuan to buy a big excavator, I don't want to do it for two years, no one wants to sell the excavator, and finally 400,000 yuan was sold to relatives. Hello everyone, I am a barber who has been doing barbers for 10 years. My surname is Xiong. My brother-in-law is an excavator. He drove an excavator for 20 years and bought a house in the inner ring of Wuhan. There are also 500,000 deposits. His wife is my wife's sister. Before my wife married me, she thought I was making a lot of money as a barber. Because she heard that the barbering industry is very profitable. A dyeing paste that costs a few dollars will cost hundreds of dollars to sell to customers.
After my wife married me, I found out that the barbers were poor. I work more than ten hours a day, there are no holidays, no social security and other benefits, and the salary is low. A barbershop, on average, serves 10 to 15 customers per day. A customer's haircut is only 20 yuan. The barber lifted 8 pieces. It takes 15 barbers a day to earn 120 yuan, plus the commission for perming and dyeing hair, it is very good to earn 200 yuan a day. In general, most barbers earn $3,000 to $5,000. There are barbers with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan, but there are very few. My wife told me that his brother-in-law bought an excavator by himself, and the excavator can earn 50,000 yuan a month, and sometimes 100,000 yuan. Say that an excavator digs 280 yuan an hour. Crushed 340 yuan. The gas cost is only 70 yuan an hour. It is equivalent to earning more than 200 in an hour. You can earn more than 2,000 yuan by working 10 hours a day. You can earn 50 700,000 a year. The house in the first ring of the big brother and sister was bought by this excavator. There are also 500,000 saved. The children of their family attended aristocratic schools.
My wife said it wildly. It really tickled my heart. So I took the opportunity to ask my brother-in-law how much an hour of excavator cost. What the brother-in-law said was similar to what the wife said. I thought to myself that I was giving a haircut to a client, and I had a good haircut for 15 minutes and 30 minutes. It can take 30 to 50 minutes to meet a difficult guest, and an hour if it is a female guest. After washing, you should cut it, and you should blow it after cutting. The operation is as fierce as a tiger, and the commission is only 7 yuan 5. Working for the same hour, the excavator can earn more than 200, I am really impressed. My wife asked me if I wanted to be an excavator. I said you can try as long as you make money. My wife said you want to do it, so I'll let my brother-in-law take you to do it. I said yes. I asked my wife how much it cost to buy an excavator, and my wife said that my brother-in-law said that a big excavator would cost about 1 million.
1 million? So expensive! I can't afford it, I only have 550,000 yuan, which is still the income from the demolition of my family. It's all belongings. My wife said that I could partner with my brother-in-law and buy one for half of each person. I asked my wife, does my brother-in-law agree? The wife said that her brother-in-law had such thoughts before. As long as you agree, it's fine. So I went with my brother-in-law (my wife's sister's husband) to buy an excavator. In the end, my brother-in-law picked one, and the total price was 800,000. Ask me if I have any comments. Of course I don't have a problem anymore, because I don't understand anything. Then my brother-in-law and I paid 400,000 yuan and bought the excavator. My brother-in-law said that the money earned by the excavator deducts the cost, and we are half of us. In the first year, I hired a driver, and I followed to learn, and when I learned, I didn't hire a driver. Just drive it. I don't care about business, he has a lot of business to do.
My brother-in-law took a job and worked with the earthwork at a large construction site, hired a driver, and I followed the driver to and from work every day. Every day is the work of turning soil and loading trucks, which is very boring. I studied for 2 months, and my brother-in-law quit the driver and let me drive. I felt scared, and my brother-in-law encouraged me to say that there was nothing wrong with me. That's how I took it. When I first came into contact with the excavator, I was still very excited. It's just that I get scolded a lot. Either scolded by the construction staff or scolded by the earthwork manager, and then scolded by the muck truck driver. My brother-in-law doesn't work at this construction site, he picks up the work outside. So whoever scolds me, I can only listen. Fortunately, my brother-in-law has a hard relationship, although there are people clamoring to get me away every day, but it doesn't work out.
In this way, I worked on this big construction site for a year, and I went from a novice to a veteran. Dry for more than ten hours a day, day and night. 3,100 hours a year. In the first year, he had a herniated lumbar disc. Other excavator drivers on the construction site said I was so diligent. It's good to endure hardships. I did 840,000 yuan for the project. The oil money burned 280,000. I advanced 140,000 yuan, and my brother-in-law advanced 140,000 yuan. Maintenance and repairs cost 40 thousand. The towing fee cost 4,000 yuan. My brother-in-law and I each made half of the mat. When I wasn't in this business, I thought I was getting cash in every month. After doing it, I realized that it was the end of the year, and I usually paid all the costs by myself. After doing 840,000 jobs, deducting 280,000 oil, 40,000 maintenance, 4,000 towing fees, and 20,000 drivers have 49 months of salary60 thousand.
Brother-in-law said 4960,000 of us, one and a half. I can divide 2980 thousand. At the end of the year, we will divide the money when the construction site is paid. Thinking about making 29 a year80,000, you can return to your capital in two years, and you can earn nearly 300,000 yuan every year in the future, and I am still looking forward to it. Dreams are always beautiful, reality is skinny. In the first year of the dry excavator, I experienced for the first time the torment of waiting in line at the project company in the thirties of the Chinese New Year's Eve. For the first time, I knew that there was still work in this world that could be paid on credit. It wasn't until the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve that my brother-in-law and I waited for 50,000 yuan. 50,000 yuan? I was in a dream. As much as the expectation comes, there is the disappointment. In the end, my brother-in-law and I shared 25,000 yuan. That's just enough money to eat on the site for a year. The cost of oil money is not enough, not to mention the cost of excavators and wages. For the first time, I realized what it means to spend money to make a wedding dress for someone else.
That was the first time I didn't go back to my hometown to have a New Year's dinner with my family. At that time, I learned that my brother-in-law had been on the construction site for decades in the Chinese New Year's Eve, and he had not had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with his family for decades. My brother-in-law said that the construction site was not closed this year, and it will definitely be closed next year, and I can't run. And this project was introduced by an acquaintance. I think so. This project is very big and can be done for three years. The next year I did it again. Borrow money to refuel the excavator and do it. In 2022, I gritted my teeth and persevered for another year. This year, I have become proficient in technology, and I have also met some friends who are engaged in excavators. They say that engaging in excavators is like guessing a blind box. Advance money to work, settle the account at the end of the year, no one knows how much money can be settled at the end of the year, whether it is a loss or a gain. In the past, it was good, the checkout was good, and you could earn a little bit. Now the ** is poor, and the project companies are short of money. When you encounter a bad project, it is possible that you will not get a penny.
Listening to them, I was stunned. I didn't expect them to be my prophets. In 2022, I made 560,000. Waiting for the project payment to wait for the Chinese New Year's Eve, the earthmoving company said that Party A only allocated 3 million yuan for the project. And the earthmoving company advanced tens of millions of projects. 3 million is not enough for the earthmoving company to pay taxes. In this sentence, there is no money for us to dig machines. I didn't give a cent. Invested 800,000 yuan to buy an excavator, advanced money to work for 2 years, did 1.4 million work, and only gave 50,000 yuan to the construction site. There's no way, I can't do it anymore. It's also the first time I've seen a project do this. I've been through it before, it's all cash-settled. Engineering has turned everything I know upside down. In the excavator business, I knew that I was not capable of doing it, so I proposed to my brother-in-law to sell the excavator and quit.
My brother-in-law also agreed. In the spring of 2023, the excavator will be sold until June, and no one will buy it. In the end, the brother-in-law said that he suffered a loss, and he received 400,000 yuan. Because I only have half of the shares of the excavator. So my brother-in-law gave me 200,000 and bought half of the shares. The excavator worked for less than two years and lost 200,000 yuan. I paid more than 200,000 yuan for oil maintenance. In two years, he lost more than 400,000 yuan in cash and earned 440,000 yuan on credit. If all the two-year project funds are in place, the excavator will basically return to its original cost. But the loss of wages. Even if you make money in the future, the average will be about 100,000 a year. A large excavator has a profit of about 200,000 yuan a year. Isn't it about 100,000 for one person? This is also based on the premise that the excavator rental fee is fully settled. But in fact, this is unlikely.
But now, the construction industry has changed dramatically. Real estate is in a recession, and the construction industry is in a depression. As a leader in the construction industry, does the excavator have a future? The answer is clear: no. In the future, it will be difficult for most excavator practitioners to make money. Only a very small number of excavator bosses with good connections, resources and background can make money. Many industries seem to be profitable, but they are not profitable, and it is extremely risky to enter blindly. What do you think? Verbal: Bear.
