693 The tea industry is on the agenda

(Thanks to my friend Extreme Flying Snow 18K for encouragement, thank you for my friend Shenghui Red Star Monthly Pass for encouragement)

Miao Miao's children have been living a good life recently, and since Lao Liu became a part-time grandfather with a baby, the freedom of the little guy has improved a lot.

Lao Liu also contacted Harvey and talked about his cooperation with Sunshine Company. After all, that casino also has official shares, so whether it can be invested is also part of the official considerations.

It's just that even Harvey knows that the official will not refuse.

Liu Wenrui is hot now, and there are many things that need to be done, and meddling in other things on his turf is also something that everyone is happy to see. Otherwise, he would have stirred up inside, and the casino would not have tried to run well.

Lao Liu was taking care of the baby part-time, and Liu Gong came over from outside.

"My God, Liu Gong, I've been busy for the past two months, haven't I? Although I'm very worried about those teas, I don't dare to come to you, I'm afraid of putting pressure on you. Lao Liu said with a smile.

"Boss, I don't dare to come to you. But today I have to bother you to cook it yourself, and arrange a good table. Liu Gong also joked.

"The process is confirmed?" Lao Liu hurriedly asked.

Liu Gong nodded, "You can be sure." Although it is the first time I have come into contact with the black tea here, in fact, it is almost the same. If you have the right temperament, this thing will be easy to do, and it will be much easier than when you made instant coffee. ”

"That's good news, at least we can get some of the people in Kale town. I don't know much about tea, what kind of quality do you think our teas can have?" asked Liu Wenrui.

"Boss, these teas can be considered to be above average at the moment. After all, they are all new trees, and their temperament has not yet been cultivated. Liu Gong said with a smile.

"But these tea trees are not bad, they are very plastic. Let's raise it, it's really hard to say in the future. This is the tea I stirred up yesterday, you see. ”

Lao Liu smiled and waved his hand, "I can't understand it, I invited you from all over the country, I just need you to help me check it." Compared with the teas we purchased, what do you think of the quality?"

"Not worse than them, next year will be better. Liu Gong said.

"I'm talking about comparisons to their mid-range. Didn't I just say that we're above average. Anyway, if this tea is placed in our country, it will be a loss to sell for 3,000 yuan a catty. ”

"Boss, I'm tired of finding those foreign tea bags. As far as the ones you buy are concerned, many of them are actually blended teas. It's just what, a lot of crushed tea mixed together. It's not that the old food can't come out, but it's actually quite tricky to look cheap. ”

Liu Wenrui smiled and nodded, "Actually, this is the same way as coffee." Many coffee companies do the same, otherwise how can they divide so many grades and develop so many products. ”

"Now the international tea market is almost monopolized by those four companies. That is, our country is still slightly better, but the prospects are not optimistic. And here, not to mention. ”

"These four tea factories here are crazy about collecting fresh tea, anyway, it's very cheap, even if it can't be processed on the same day, so that the quality deteriorates, it doesn't matter. ”

"We're not going to play with them like that, and we're not going to the auction. Self-produced and self-sold, as much as possible to reduce the impact of these four companies on us. ”

"Lao Liu, does it mean that we can produce some seriously now? If so, what standard should we pick better?"

"One bud and one leaf and one bud and two leaves, anyway, the yield is small now, you have to find real skilled workers, don't pick the tea trees too hard." They are all new trees, and the harvest will affect the yield and quality of next year. Liu Gong thought for a while and said.

"How many people do you need?" Lao Liu caught the little lion baby who wanted to escape.

"There must be more than 30 people, I don't know what their tea picking skills are. Liu Gong said.

"Cheng, then I'll let Masika pick out fifty people first. When these people are working, you look at the point, and if they are not qualified, we will quickly replace them. Liu Wenrui said with a smile.

"The cost of labor here is very low, but the downside is that these people are sometimes too confused. When the time comes, don't be merciful and think that their life is miserable, and then you will be fooled. ”

"It's like the work in the fields on the farm, after several rounds of screening, the people are selected. If we pay a high salary, they have to work with quality. ”

"The pickers here are usually about 2,000 shillings a month, and during the harvest time it is about 5,000 shillings. How much is it for a day? Not only do we pay a high enough salary, but we also take care of the food. If they don't know how to cherish it, it's useless to keep their hearts. ”

"Boss, is it so low?" Liu Gong said with some surprise.

"The main thing is that you usually stay on my farm, and then you just tinker with tea, when you have time, you can go outside and take a turn. Liu Wenrui said with a smile.

"In fact, at the beginning, my boss and I also felt that the money given was too small, and we couldn't bear it. But that's not the case, there are a lot of people who are just mixed up. When someone is watching, I will give you a good job, and when no one is watching, I will play around. ”

"Rather than bother in the future, it's better to lay the foundation now. I also found some people to carefully accept, and whoever was fooled when picking it was also directly removed. ”

Liu Gong nodded, he really didn't know anything about these situations.

"Fortunately, the current output is not high, and our power plant can support it. Come on, and by next year the power supply will almost be solved. Liu Wenrui continued.

"Cheng, boss, I'll put the tea here, and I'll take care of the work again. Liu Gong said with a smile.

"Don't worry, this is also a great event for our farm. I'll call both the boss and Masika, and you'll have a good touch at noon. Liu Wenrui said.

If he hadn't had much money before, he would have already opened up. Now he is a rich man, so even if he knows that the quality of this tea is very good, he can still be calm.

called Masika and Chen Cheng, even if Liu Gong was joking when he came over, he really wanted to celebrate. It's just that now he is a part-time grandfather with a baby, and he has to be transferred to Wang Zhonghe for this meal at noon, so that he can help Zhang Luo.

"By the way, people here are more fond of tea. After the leaf and bud are ready, I will be given a small package of one kilogram, ten of them, and then I will have to send them to Harvey. After the notice, Liu Wenrui continued.

"Okay, but you'll have to let me have a few days. I don't know what the efficiency of these tea pickers is, but you still give gifts, so you have to take care of it. Liu Gong nodded.

"It's also another way to make money, even if it's still a sheep's intestine trail, let's turn it into a highway next year." Liu Wenrui said with a smile.

"But our tea factory also has to recruit people, and now we can fry it slowly, and we will have to expand the scale to make that kind of tea bag in the future." You have to control high-end products, and whether we can break out of a way under the blockade of the four major companies depends on whether our products are hard enough. ”

"Let's talk about the black tea here in Kenya, in fact, many of them can reach the quality of mid-range products. However, the price at which it is sold is at the low end. ”

"It's not that people here don't want to sell more, it's that they can't price their products. If you don't have your own sales channels, you have to listen to others. If you don't sell it, if you don't sell it, it's all broken. ”

"Let's take a step back, we can't sell internationally, and we can sell it domestically first. Let's also get some samples, so that we can submit them for approval in China. Now that Xiao Wang has begun to expand the supermarket channel, he may be able to catch up with the instant coffee market. ”

Liu Gong nodded, "Boss, do you say that you have to spoil a lot of good tea here every year?"

"That's specified. Liu Wenrui said with a smile.

"From the perspective of the capital market, African countries are a source of raw materials. Otherwise, how could those companies make so much money? I still have some conscience, and I pay a little bit more than a little more when I buy coffee beans. ”

"But in this way, we are under a bit of pressure. Although there is no obvious performance yet, the competition in the end market will definitely be very fierce in the future. ”

"Actually, now it's my small scale, and I mainly make high-end coffee beans, and they don't bother to take care of me. These teas are estimated to be about the same, and when I have a large amount here, I will be regarded as an opponent at that time. ”

"Haha, that's what you guys worry about as bosses, anyway, I'm just picking and making tea. Liu Gong said with a smile.

"Can our tea be really put into production?" At this time, Chen Cheng also rushed over.

"It's almost inseparable, Liu Gong is very confident, we have to take care of it. Liu Wenrui said.

"How much money is needed, you have to give your full support. In fact, it's nothing, it's nothing more than a sales channel. I guess I had to count on China at the beginning, and I had to expand slowly. ”

"Not necessarily. Chen Cheng said with a smile.

"Our brand reputation is very high now, and with the production, we can put a round of trials on Amazon. Anyway, now our coffee bean sales are growing at a rate of about 10% every month, and I think it's almost the same. ”

"Then you can really think about it, anyway, these foreigners have a relatively high acceptance of black tea, and our milk tea business must also be prepared at that time. Liu Wenrui said.

"Anyway, when our tea industry opens, we have to quickly replenish the product line, and push it up directly when those companies don't react. ”

"They are too rich, and I have the confidence to compete with them in the high-end area, and the pressure of competition for low-end products is too great. Anyway, that's basically the way of thinking, you guys should study it. ”

"Don't worry, the company has already had a plan in this regard. Chen Cheng said confidently.

Lao Liu was a little surprised, it seems that the boss is not thinking about the object all day long.
