Chapter 6 Setting Prices
Boiled fish balls!
A basin of boiled water, no ingredients, fish balls put in, gurgling and boiling.
Dong Xiaorou didn't dare to cook more, so she only put five fish meatballs in the basin, for fear that it would not taste good and it would be a waste if she cooked too much.
"How long does it take to cook?"
Li Zhi looked at the time, pondered and said, "I estimate that I can just feel the boiling water and live for five minutes!"
The small room next door is not big, about 20 square meters, it used to be an office in the factory, and now it has a bed, plus some miscellaneous things, it does not seem spacious.
The conditions are not good, the gas stove is placed on the ground, and the iron basin is taken by Dong Xiaorou from home, the two of them squatted around the iron basin, watching the water inside boil, putting the fish meatballs in, and counting the time.
"It's been five minutes!"
"Take it out and taste it!"
"Oh, don't prick with chopsticks, it's not like you don't have a bowl!"
Eating fish meatballs in the mouth, different from eating raw, without adding any ingredients, and without any additives when making, eating in the mouth bounces, very slippery, only its own umami, than any kind of meat meatballs I have eaten before, it is delicious.
"What do you think?" After Li Zhi bit the whole fish meatball in his mouth and swallowed it, he turned his head to look at Dong Xiaorou and asked.
Dong Xiaorou nodded: "It's delicious, I don't know other people's tastes, anyway, I like to eat it very much!" As she spoke, she clipped another one, or rather, inserted one with chopsticks, opened her small mouth and bit it, although the fish meatballs did not put any seasoning, they were not difficult to swallow, and the umami of the fish itself was enough.
Li Zhi didn't rob her, the fish meatballs were still being produced, how many you wanted to eat, how many you wanted, but the scene in front of her was not always there.
Ten years, or more, Li Zhi recalled that today, it is still like the next day, there is a woman squatting in front of the gas stove with him, cooking fish balls, waiting with his eyes, and his every move looks so joyful.
People, only once down, will you know who is by your side.
"I think our products should have a good market response. Dong Xiaorou turned off the gas stove, and let her eat four of the five fish meatballs, Li Zhi didn't let her, he didn't grab it.
"Do you have any ideas?" Dong Xiaorou asked as she looked at Li Zhizhengse.
"What do you mean?"
Dong Xiaorou pulled her long hair behind her ears and said: "Fish meatballs are processed, and they will only make money if they are sold, and the production line in the factory is no problem, it has been able to produce, now should we think about it, how to sell fish meatballs?"
"Sell?" Li Zhi scratched his head and said with a smile: "It's not easy, just take it to the market and sell it, the fish meatballs we make taste so good, are you still worried that no one will buy them?"
"......" Dong Xiaorou felt that the young boss was a bit of an idiot, shook her head and said: "Take it to the market and sell it, how to sell it?" wholesale or retail, how much the price is, how much can be sold in a day, do you think it tastes good, will others agree with it, have you thought about these?"
"I didn't think about it!" Li Zhi made Dong Xiaorou a little dumbfounded, selling fish and meatballs, is there so much to say?
Dong Xiaorou looked like 'the old lady has lost to you', she rolled her eyes coquettishly, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't prepare anything for you to open this factory, did you want to live at home?"
Li Zhi really wanted to reply to her, you are just playing at home, if you really play at home, the young master will let you be a foot warmer.
Dong Xiaorou didn't give Li Zhi a chance to speak, thought for a while and said: "We need to set a sales price for the fish meatballs made by the factory, before setting the sales price, I want to know the daily production volume of our factory and the cost of making fish meatballs!"
"No, of course not!" Li Zhigan smiled, if it weren't for her, Li Zhi could only do blindfolded, cross the river with his trouser legs, and wade over step by step, at least there is someone to discuss. "You know so much!" Dong Xiaorou gave Li Zhi the feeling that she didn't look like a woman in a small fishing village.
Dong Xiaorou snorted and muttered: "Nonsense, I'm a college student who graduated from the Department of Business Management." ”
didn't give Li Zhi more opportunities to talk on this topic, and then said: "Don't talk about these useless, let's talk about the processing and manufacturing capacity of our factory first, that is, how many fish meatballs can be produced in a day!"
"Theoretically, a processing plant can run 24 hours a day, but every other day, that is, 24 hours, the machine needs to be shut down for three hours for cooling and maintenance. If the raw materials are sufficient, 15 fish meatballs can be produced per minute, and the weight of each fish meatball is 0.5 taels, which is 25 grams......"
Without waiting for Li Zhi to finish speaking, Dong Xiaorou frowned, interrupted his words, and said: "The production of 15 fish meatballs in one minute, the weight of 375 grams is less than one catty, 45 catties in an hour, and if it is produced at full speed in a day, it is only 945 catties in 21 hours, only more than 470 kilograms." ”
The output of less than 500 kilograms a day is completely lower than Dong Xiaorou's budget, but it's right to think about it, this is not a factory at all, at best it is a small workshop that can produce fish and meatballs.
"The price of fish meatballs in the market is about ten yuan a catty, and the wholesale price is about five or six yuan!" Dong Xiaorou calculated and asked: "How many fish meatballs can be produced for that pound of fresh fish?"
"500 grams of fresh fish produces 280 grams of fish meatballs. ”
The formula was not calculated by Li Zhi, but directly given by the 'Nebula i9 Smart Factory System' in his head.
"Fifty percent? The price of the fish we buy today is two yuan and five pounds, and you only pay more than one pound of fish meatballs for two pounds, and the cost of raw materials is almost five yuan, plus labor, electricity, plant and mechanical loss, etc., and the fish meatballs are six yuan a catty...... Boss, it's not worth it, it's better to close this factory now, maybe you can lose some money, what do you say?" Dong Xiaorou said at the end, winking at Li Zhi.
'Demonic' is rampant!
Li Zhi is not in the mood to watch the goblin act now, so let Dong Xiaorou calculate it, his whole mood is not good.
"How can it not make money?"
Dong Xiaorou blinked, spread her hands and said, "You are the boss, I am an employee, why don't you make money, how will I know!"
"No, no, something must have gone wrong. Li Zhi shook his head, frowned and said, "The raw materials are right, the output is also right, and the pricing is ...... That's right, it's pricing!"
Li Zhi raised his head and asked excitedly: "Why do we have to set the selling price so low, you are stupid, the cost of our production of fish and meatballs is more than six yuan per catty, and it is strange if we sell it at this price." ”
Dong Xiaorou's eyes widened, and she looked at Li Zhi angrily: "You are stupid, you are stupid, you are stupid!"
"Hehe!" Li Zhigan laughed twice, and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, just talk about it, what, when you're angry, it's quite cute!"
"Don't come with me for this, this girl won't eat!" Dong Xiaorou rolled his eyes.
Li Zhi could see that Dong Xiaorou was not really angry, and said with a smile: "The ex-factory price of fish meatballs cannot refer to the current market price. ”
"And what do you refer to?"
Li Zhi shook his head and said: "Don't refer to anything, the fish meatballs we produce are the same as the fish meatballs sold on the market? It's not the same, it's not even a thing, the fish meatballs we process and manufacture are genuine, and the 'fish meatballs' made of real materials are only one kind of raw material, that is, fresh fish, so our price can only be formulated with reference to our products!"
