We should hear about the NEW MANUFACTURING SPACE
opening up and details
Both boards seemed to emphasize that Berman was planning on opening (building) manufacturing plants all over the world. But both boards are wrong. Berman is only RENTING the lines (or planning to) from the owners of the facilities. He can buy 12 hours or he can buy all 24 hours and then try to make a profit on the excess capacity.
Berman's job is to get materials to the plant, have the plant workers learn how to assemble units, QA them, package them, then ship units where ever. Using Malaysia to Los Angeles as an example...4000 units shipping by OCEAN to the US would take about 4 weeks door to door. Figure that, based on the size of these units, would be about 1-2 pallets. Cost from Malaysia would be neglible, about $250 for the freight charge itself but all the excess charges importers tack on (trucking , customs clearance, tariffs, handling, warehousing, etc. ) would bring it to $1000 door to door or 25 cents per unit. Air freight would be probably be best bet since they would get units in about a 5 days. Figure about 200 units per carton at 25 lbs per carton it would cost around $150 per carton ($3000 per 4000 unit order) by FedEx.which would 75 cents to the cost per unit. Not bad if he can sell them at $200 per unit. Then again they would to reship smaller order quantities to individual locations and incure that cost.
There is absolutely zero reason for Berman to spend any money BUYING facilities unless he makes a $100 million deal.
