Hangzhou, April 22.

The warm spring in April is the season of revival of plants and trees, a hundred flowers are blooming, catkins are flying, the spring breeze is blowing, the climate is pleasant, it is the most comfortable day of the year.

On this morning, Zhou Ming drove to the Magic Liquid Research Institute in the high-tech park, and after staying for a while, he drove again, taking the general manager Song Wenhui, the project leader Tian Yuanhao and others, to the Sanhua Village Industrial Park in the western suburbs of the city, and entered a factory covering an area of 15 acres.

This factory is the beverage production plant under the Magic Liquid Research Institute.

The two beverage production lines of the Magic Liquid Research Institute are located in this factory.

Among them, the production line of No. 1 nutrient solution has been running for more than half a month, and the output has been stable and rising.

The amount of nutrient solution No. 1 produced is more than 300,000 liters.

The production line of No. 3 nutrient solution will be officially launched today.

Once the No. 3 nutrient solution production line is successfully launched, the Magic Liquid Research Institute will completely bid farewell to the unprofitable state and achieve self-sufficiency.

So, today is a very big moment, and everyone is looking forward to it.

At a glance through the glass wall, you can see that the high-cleanliness dust-free and aseptic production plant, the instruments and equipment, walls and floors in the plant are all smooth and shiny, and spotless.

Zhou Ming, Song Wenhui and others first put on disposable plastic bags and shoes, put on special dust-free and anti-static clothing, and completed the disinfection treatment in the disinfection room, and then entered the fully automated plant.

Responsible for the operation of the factory is a middle-aged man in his forties, named Du Ze, he was originally a senior automation engineer, the management of the production line is very set, Zhou Ming hired him with a high salary, but in half a year, the two beverage production lines were assembled and run-in, with the fastest speed, completed the task assigned to him.

"Lao Du, next month you can get a bonus of 1 million from your team from the finance, don't be too little, and the bonus at the end of the year will be more. ”

Seeing the very standardized factory inside, Zhou Ming nodded, not saying anything "hard work, good job" and other words that have no substance, as soon as he made a shot, it was a million bonus, and the way to express satisfaction was simple and rude.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou!"

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou!"

Du Ze and the seven or eight employees he brought with him, their faces were full of joy, they couldn't close their mouths with a smile, the fatigue on their bodies instantly dissipated, and they all said in their hearts: The class has not been in vain in the past few months, such a good boss is also rare, and as soon as he makes a move, it is a million bonus.

"Lao Du, how is the backlog of No. 1 nutrient solution in the warehouse? If the backlog is too much, you can consider stopping the No. 1 production line to avoid occupying the warehouse. ”

Zhou Ming said that after the mass production of No. 1 nutrient solution, the sales situation seems to be not very optimistic, there are few orders received, and the production cost of No. 1 business solution is also very high, the cost of 30 yuan/liter, the daily output of 20,000 liters, and the daily output of more than 600,000 yuan will swallow more than 600,000 working capital every day, which is really unbearable.

"Mr. Zhou, the production line does not need to be stopped, recently the military learned that our factory can produce a full nutrition high-energy drink, and placed an order for us 600,000 liters, which is enough for the No. 1 production line to run for a month, and the space agency also has a batch of orders to negotiate, and many medical institutions are also very interested in our drink...... No. 1 nutrient solution, as the world's first beverage with the most comprehensive nutrition, its market prospect is still very large. ”

At this time, a woman in a skirt about 30 years old in the crowd, with a middle-to-upper appearance, stood up and said in a crisp voice.

"Who is she?"

Zhou Ming glanced at her in surprise, he came to the beverage factory relatively rarely, except for Du Ze, many employees didn't know him.

"Mr. Zhou, her name is Ma Li, she is the sales manager of the beverage factory, and she has been in charge of beverage sales for less than a month, and she has won a lot of orders, and her business ability is very strong. Song Wenhui introduced in Zhou Ming's ear.

Zhou Ming glanced at Ma Li, turned his head to Song Wenhui and said, "The bonus is 200,000, and it will be in her salary card next month." ”

200,000?

The air around him was suffocated, and Qi Qi looked at the sales manager Ma Li with envious eyes.

Although 200,000 is not to the extent that they are jealous, it is definitely a lot, and if you add a little more, you can buy a good car.

Mr. Zhou, it's too generous.

Ma Li shook her head, her delicate makeup exuded a moving smile, and she unexpectedly refused: "Mr. Zhou, there is my bonus in the sales of the drink, so you don't need to give me an extra bonus." ”

"Take it, it's a reward for you, work hard, this company will not treat any capable employee badly. ”

Zhou Ming waved his hand, meritorious work will be rewarded, is the best way to stimulate employees to work actively, feelings and beliefs, after all, is not as good as real money.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou!" Ma Li bowed.

10 a.m.

All set.

Before the production line was launched, Zhou Ming also asked Song Wenhui a few questions.

"Old Song, after the production line is started, what will be the output of No. 3 nutrient solution?"

"The initial output will be a little lower, about 50,000 liters per day, and the later stage will be adjusted according to the market sales, if the sales are hot, the output of the production line can be increased to up to 1 million liters per day. ”

"How much can the cost be controlled?"

"Below 12 pieces, the configuration cost of No. 3 nutrient solution is not very high, and the output will rise, and the cost will be reduced to less than 10 pieces. ”

"Compared with Red Bull drinks, are we lower or higher than them?" Zhou Ming asked a question he was very concerned about.

"I don't know very well, but on the market, a 250ml bottle of Red Bull costs 7 yuan, and four bottles of Red Bull are 28 yuan, if you deduct the share of distributors at all levels and the cost of transportation and packaging, I think the factory production cost of Red Bull will not be more than 9 yuan per liter. Tahara Hiroshi thought for a moment.

"In other words, our actual cost is higher than theirs?"

Zhou Ming frowned, not competitive in terms of cost control, but still competitive in the market?

I guess I can't win the price war, right?

"Mr. Zhou, in terms of cost, after the increase in production, it will still decrease in the later stage, and our biggest competitiveness is that the charging effect of our drinks is better and the side effects are smaller...... With these two points alone, we can occupy a large market share, and the other ......"

Song Wenhui added: "Even if our cost is higher, in terms of price, it is not impossible to sell cheaper than Red Bull, the amount of 250 ml, the market price is 6 yuan per bottle, and we can earn more than 2 yuan per bottle." ”

In fact, the beverage industry is a very lucrative industry, with all the leading industries.

High-energy beverages are the most profitable, followed by fruit juices and carbonated drinks.

Even for the cheapest mineral water, the cost paid by the manufacturer is nothing more than the filling fee and transportation fee, after removing these costs, each bottle of water can earn at least 3,4 cents.

"2 pieces per bottle. ”

Zhou Ming shook his head, this sounds okay, but the consumers who buy this kind of drink, unless they are people who are overdrawn or stay up late to burst their livers, who will have nothing to drink high-energy drinks? This naturally leads to low sales and high prices, all year round, I don't know if it can achieve 1.3 billion Z people, drinking two bottles per capita?

It can be said that the amount of money earned in a year is definitely not as much as the game "Land of Glory", which has more turnover in two or three months.

During this time, according to many formulas provided by Zhou Ming, Tian Yuan Hao is leading the scientific research team to develop several health care product drinks.

The scale of the health care products market is significantly larger than that of functional drinks, and after the Magic Liquid Research Institute enters this field, once it produces results, I believe that the money will be much larger.

But whether it is drinks or health care products, it is not Zhou Ming's ultimate goal, his ultimate goal is the medical industry with the highest profiteering!

Shaking his head and throwing these thoughts aside, Zhou Ming said to Du Ze, the person in charge of the production line: "Lao Du, start the production line, our 'Manlong Beverage' can be officially offline." ”

Yes, "Brute Dragon" is the name given by Zhou Ming to the No. 3 nutrient solution, which means: After drinking the Brute Dragon, you can be like a dragon, domineering and brutal, unstoppable.

This is much more powerful than the so-called "Red Bull", whether it is momentum or pattern.

"Okay Mr. Zhou!"

"Start the production line!"

Du Ze gave the order, and the engineer heard the command and started the computer's production program.

"Boom~Boom~"

The slight roar of the machine sounded, the transmission was driven, and the intelligent robotic arm on the production line flexibly rotated and telescoped, and the blue open cans began to complete the processes of disinfection, drying, filling, sealing, printing graphic LOGO and so on...... The whole fully automatic production line is operated by only a few engineers.

Outlet.

Bottles of blue drinks, neatly lined up and rolled off the assembly line.

"Collapse~"

took out a bottle of Manlong drink, unscrewed the pull ring, Zhou Ming put it to his mouth and took a sip, only to feel that the taste was soft, sweet and refreshing.

After only a short while, I found that my whole body was full of strength and my spirit was greatly lifted.

"Cool! Brute Dragon Beverage, the market must be on fire!" Zhou Ming gave a thumbs up.

"I wish the dragon market a big fire!"

"!"

Song Wenhui, Tian Yuanhao, Du Ze and others also opened a bottle each, replaced the wine with a brute dragon, and dried a bottle.

As a result, these people spent the whole day in euphoria.
