Chapter 342 Unexpected Returns of the Charity Industry
Although snakeskin bags are inconspicuous and have low technical content, they are an invention that is very beneficial to social transportation and save a lot of herbal plants. Packaging materials can not only reduce transportation costs, but also indirectly protect the natural environment.
Although it does not seem to be as high-end as electronic product innovation, Changxing Industrial itself is following the small product innovation route, and the raw materials are controlled by itself, so the snakeskin bag is a very suitable product.
Although snakeskin bags are not disposable products like plastic bags, they will be damaged or become old if used too much, and customers will replace them. In this way, the market will change. Very big.
Wei Zetao smiled and said: "Okay, I have placed an order for 10 production lines at one time from Japan, and also placed an order for 3 flat yarn production lines from Germany. It is mainly subject to their restrictions. production capacity, otherwise I will buy more.”
The most special thing about these products launched by Changxing Industrial is that when the idea first came out, insiders were almost 100% sure that it would be a hit.
For example, the early sticky notes, sticky hooks, trolley cases, and later plastic bags, woven bags (snake skin bags), etc., as soon as the samples came out, everyone could tell that they would definitely be popular.
Of course, these are also the boss's creativity. Although the products produced by Changxing Industrial are selling well, they are not of the same order of magnitude.
"Well, this is normal, and it needs to be done step by step." Yang Wendong nodded and said: "We must also pay attention to the training of internal personnel. Although this thing is simple, the production quantity is too much. It’s also prone to problems.”
Everyone who has worked in a manufacturing factory knows that no matter how simple a product is, when it is produced in large enough quantities, it will definitely be very difficult to produce stably.
"Okay." Wei Zetao agreed: "Currently, our current production capacity is 5,000 snakeskin bags per day. I plan to focus on the vegetable market and free rice transportation first. In this way, their exposure rate will be the highest."< br>
"Okay, you can take care of this yourself." Yang Wendong nodded and said: "Increase production capacity as soon as possible, and we can export later."
Today's Changxing Industrial has already had its own relationship network in terms of channels. Although it is not perfect yet, it has already You can have multiple distributors in multiple countries, which is enough to promote your own products.
The time has quickly arrived in May, and the sultry summer has begun to heat up.
On the 2nd, Yang Wendong came to the Watsons Beverage Factory, also located in North Point, Hong Kong.
Zhou Haoran also personally received Yang Wendong at the door and said: "Yang Sheng, judging from the data in the last half month, our can production is ready to be put on the market."
"What's the pass rate?" ?" Yang Wendong asked.
Zhou Haoran replied: "Our current statistical data shows that the probability is about 1.4 in 100,000 that the tank will rupture in the later stage and cause the drink to leak."
"1 million bottles There are 14 bottles in it, so the probability is not very high." Yang Wendong nodded and asked, "What's the failure rate of the drinks inside?"
The leakage of the drink packaging can be directly seen, but if If the drink has gone bad, it will be difficult to check, which is also a headache.
Zhou Haoran said: "We randomly checked thousands of bottles of drinks and found no substandard ones. This is mainly because our tea drinks have a heating process in the early stage, which can kill viruses. Unlike juices or other drinks, which require room temperature sterilization, the process is difficult. It’s very high, and it’s easy to fail to achieve perfection.”
“Indeed, high-temperature sterilization is the lowest-cost method.” Yang Wendong smiled.
Traditional beverages such as juice or milk must not be heated until the water boils. This problem is unsolved at the global level today, so Hong Kong has a milk company that specializes in delivering fresh milk.
This technical problem was not until the European packaging giant Tetra Pak launched a series of sterilization solutions that allowed milk and fruit drinks to be stored at low cost, allowing many people to drink cheap milk conveniently.
The reason why Yang Wendong knows about Tetra Pak is because in his previous life, after the introduction of the anti-monopoly law in the Mainland, Tetra Pak was among the first targets of investigation, because it is indeed a monopoly. In the global milk packaging market, mainland beverage giants like Yili and Mengniu have to give Tetra Pak more than half of their profits
Zhou Haoran added: "It takes a long time and a lot of manpower and material resources to measure the probability of drinks spoiling, so the data we have obtained so far has not found any big problems. Later, when the drinks are put on the market and the base is large enough, we will conduct detailed research Investigate."
"Well" Yang Wendong thought for a while and said: "Don't relax on this matter. Although in Hong Kong, even if there are problems with consumers, they may not complain, but our products will be exported in the future. Yes, problems may not be easily solved overseas, especially in the European and American markets."
Zhou Haoran promised: "Understood, we will follow up later."
"Yes. "Yang Wendong nodded: "Let's take a look at the assembly line."
"Okay, this way." Zhou Haoran pointed in the direction of the workshop.
Several people put on their safety equipment, walked around the workshop, and tasted the drinks at the end of the production line. After being chilled, they tasted really good. Then Yang Wendong said: "Lao Zhou, please communicate with Carrefour. The drinks they sell us must be placed in the refrigerator, so that they will be more attractive to buy."
"Okay. Yes, I guess it will be the same," Zhou Haoran agreed.
"Okay, let's wait and see the market feedback after our drinks are launched." Yang Wendong said.
As a manufacturer, we have done everything we can, including the most advanced packaging, appropriate taste research, and some of our own channels. The rest can only be looked at by the market itself.
However, Yang Wendong is still confident. Hong Kong people like to drink herbal tea. Many people drink some when they get up early and go out. Now that such a drink is available, it will be much more convenient for them.
Not to mention that there is still a drought, water shortage, and heat, so buying herbal tea drinks that can relieve the heat will definitely be the choice of many people. Even Watsons Ginger Ale, which does not taste very good, nowadays All sold very well.
After coming out of the other door of the can factory, Yang Wendong saw at a glance a large number of people carrying barrels of pure water onto the truck, and some were also carrying empty barrels down.
“The pure water business is really good.” Yang Wendong said with a smile.
Zhou Haoran replied: "Yes, the weather has started to get hot recently, and the water shortage is much more serious than it was during the Chinese New Year. It is said that many places can only get water once a day or two, and many people still can't get it. So far, even house speculators have begun to line up at official water points to sell their spots, or collect water and sell it at a high price.”
"It's indeed outrageous. I've also heard that some people were killed in fights." Yang Wendong said.
In his previous life in the Mainland, Yang Wendong was born in the 1980s. Although his family was poor when he was a child, there was usually only enough food to avoid starvation. As for water, he never encountered a shortage problem, only in summer at most. It’s too hot and there’s a lack of water in the fields, but we just need to go to the river to fetch water to irrigate the fields.
Now that I have traveled through time, I have encountered a serious water shortage in modern cities. This situation is really irritating to people's nerves. Whether it is the Hong Kong government or him, they have spent a lot of resources to ensure that people do not suffer from water shortages. I am dying of thirst, but there are too many places that require water in normal life.
Zhou Haoran nodded and said: "Yes Yes, there are a lot of people coming to buy water from us. Now I am fully committed to producing pure water. There is no need to worry about the channels. Many cars even start queuing up at my factory at night.”
"That's fine. Rich people can buy our water directly, and they don't have to compete with ordinary people for water." Yang Wendong said with a smile.
Zhou Haoran agreed: "Yes, personally, I would rather spend more money than queue up. If that doesn't work, I can only buy water from scalpers."
Yang Wendong asked again: "How much can we sell for water in a month now?"
Zhou Haoran whispered: "It is estimated that we can sell 2 million yuan this month, and the net profit is estimated to be around 1.5 million yuan."
< br>"So high? Your profit is higher than that of Changxing Real Estate." Yang Wendong asked in surprise, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is not outrageous.
Zhou Haoran said: "Yes, the profit margin is extremely high. This is not because I took the opportunity to increase the price, but even if I keep selling at a low profit, the merchants who buy it will definitely sell at the highest price;< br>
In addition, the supply here is now in short supply, so there is no reason to let the middlemen take advantage. I have the most expensive water resources, but I am making a small profit? This also does not meet market demand.
Besides, Yang Sheng, you are transporting water on a large scale, and you also spend your own money to buy water to help the poor people in the squatters. Now it is appropriate to make money back from the rich. "
"What you say makes sense. Yang Wendong smiled and said: "I didn't expect that I did charity work to transport water, and accidentally made more money by relying on you." ”
Even if you don’t consider the future profits of the old ships in the Middle East crisis, and just talk about water transportation, the Hong Kong government also provides money, so I can only say that water transportation will not be a big profit;< br>
However, I also need to spend money to buy water, and then provide free water to squatters and some poor places. This is a real cost.
In order to achieve this goal, he must control the water source. With the water source, he can provide water to Watsons, so that he can make a profit. This is something Yang Wendong did not expect when he was preparing to do this in the early years.
With the emergence of the term "purified water", Hong Kong's control over water companies has been bypassed, and there are no legal restrictions. In this way, when the entire society is short of water, pure water brings The profit actually exceeded his investment in squatters.
Zhou Haoran smiled and said: "Yang Sheng, you thought about doing good deeds in the early days, but now you can make a profit through the combination of many opportunities. This is God's reward for a good person like you."< br>
