Chapter 211: Shrewd Islanders

Akkuk Food Company is a first-class instant noodle manufacturer in the island country, and it is the second in Osaka, the first is Nisan Food, which invented instant noodles, and it is also the company that developed well in the mainland of China in the previous life.

Noodles are one of the staple foods of the island nation, second only to rice. Because the pace of the big cities of the island country is relatively fast, the development of instant noodles is also extremely rapid, and now there are dozens of brands and more than a dozen enterprises.

At present, the market of the island countries is close to saturation, and these companies are trying to develop overseas markets, some of which are sold to Europe and the United States, and some are sold to Southeast Asia, but the development in Europe and the United States is very general.

Especially in the United States, the most important market for the island nation, although people there often eat fast food, they are more accustomed to eating hamburgers, hot dogs and other bread food, because many of their families are not used to drinking hot water, and naturally they do not like to eat noodle soup.

In the future, ramen companies in island countries will more occupy the Southeast Asian market, from the supply of raw materials, to the licensing of recipes, to brand mergers, they have done well in Southeast Asia and made a lot of profits.

Among them, Akkuk basically has no market in China, but it has developed very well in Taiguo and Miandian, which also proves that their product taste research and development is good, but it may not be suitable for the Chinese market.

When they arrived at this company, Wang Haoan and his group of nine people sat on one side, and on the other side of the conference table, there were seven people led by Fujiwara San, the vice president of Akkuk.

"President Fujiwara, we talked by phone before, and this time we came here to buy the instant noodle production line that your company has eliminated. Xiao Wu said in Japanese.

"I'll interrupt that this elimination is due to insufficient capacity, not aging equipment, in fact, our production line, the service life is 30 years, and we have only used it for less than 10 years. A person next to Akkuk interrupted Xiao Wu's words in blunt Chinese.

"Of course, we understand the longevity of your equipment, so we plan to buy it, but it's hard for us to accept the price. ”

"Our production line includes the production of dough cakes, the production of seasoning packets, and also includes automatic packaging equipment, with this set of equipment, you only need a factory and a dozen workers, you can easily produce 300,000 barrels of ramen every day, there is no company in your country that can produce equipment with this efficiency, we also spent a lot of money when purchasing, and the price will naturally be relatively high. ”

"But after you ship it back, think about the daily production capacity, how much profit in a month, and how much profit in a year? In less than two years, you may earn back the cost of the equipment, and this set of equipment can be used for more than 20 years, how can this price be expensive?"

Spending a lot of money on procurement? Let's not talk about the previous industrial technology, let's just say how much is that huge amount of money?

Wang Siheng and they didn't know how to answer, and looked at Wang Haoan. Wang Haoan asked with a smile: "Can we visit your production workshop? After all, we have to see how good this production line is." ”

"You can visit our production workshop and learn about the capacity and automation of our equipment, you will be amazed!" said Fujiwara with a proud look on his face.

"Thank you. Wang Haoan thinks that it is no harm to visit, to see how other people's workshops are laid out, how efficient the production is, and maybe to see their raw materials, so as to deduce their product formulas.

It's a pity that when they arrived at the production workshop, they just let them take a look at it from a distance, and the main thing they saw was that the dough was spit out, boxed and automatically packaged, and nothing else was seen.

There are a lot of commercial sword butterflies in island countries, the more developed countries are, the more "talents" there seem to be in this area, and a commercial sword butterfly sometimes does not need a high position, but a message can create great value.

Therefore, they also attach great importance to the protection of trade secrets, which is much better than that of Huaxia enterprises. In the past, many enterprises in China have made some achievements, and when others say that they come to visit and study, they always feel that it is a good opportunity to promote their strength, but they do not know how to conceal secrets, so they are learned by others, and then compete with you and defeat you.

Wang Siheng and the others were dumbfounded, and felt that the equipment of the island country was really too advanced, and the flour over there was pushed in, and the instant noodles came out here, in comparison, the gap in the industrial level of Huaxia was really very large.

It's just that Wang Haoan has been expressionless, and they are a little unsure of what Wang Haoan's attitude is.

"Mr. Wang, are you dissatisfied with their equipment capacity?"

"Let's get around. It's just that I suddenly thought of a problem, the instant noodles I produce are not exactly the same as theirs, so their production line, it seems that there are some equipment that I don't need. ”

Is the most popular thing in the mainland in the next few years is Kang Shuaifu's braised beef noodles? No, it's the same little raccoon crispy noodles, which is the product with the best sales, the best profits, and the most suitable for Manchu and Han food.

What is the positioning of Manhan Food at this time, snack manufacturer, so is instant noodles considered snacks?

The noodles are much simpler, no need for dehydrated vegetables, no need for dehydrated jerky or seafood, and no need for any ingredients in it, all the seasoning products can be added directly to the flour, and the boxing equipment is not needed.

This kind of crisp noodles can be popular for at least ten years. Of course, the golden sales period of instant noodles is longer, and it is more cost-effective to produce this, but if the equipment is too expensive, his return on investment will not be very high, and advertising is not cost-effective.

This time, he borrowed 250 million yuan, of which 20 million was invested in Li Twist's company, and at least two branch factories were opened across the country, which cost another 20 or 30 million, and the rest still needed to purchase raw materials, advertise and promote, have risk reserves on the books, and prepare at least three months' wages for workers, at least tens of millions.

The funds for his purchase of a production line must not be too expensive, not to mention that those factories have to produce other products, and the equipment of other products also needs money.

"A few of us have a clear understanding of the production process, if there is still something you don't understand, we can help you install and debug the equipment, by the way. ”

"We know that China's industry is a little backward, but it doesn't matter, as a country with diplomatic relations, we are willing to help the development of your country's enterprises. ”

"Of course, if your company really can't come up with that much money, there is another way. We use this production line to take a stake, and your company has invested 6 million dollars, and we each have a 50% stake. ”

"Your equipment is discounted to 5 million US dollars, why do we have to pay 6 million US dollars to account for 50 percent of the shares?" Wang Siheng couldn't help it, seeing that we wanted to buy it, the price would increase?

"We will also produce technology, formulas, including brand promotion, etc., we are more experienced in this area, which is also an asset. Together, we will be able to grow and grow over time, generating a lot of tax revenue for the political axe. ”

"I'm sorry, we suddenly feel that your company's second-hand production line doesn't seem to be suitable, so we plan to go directly to purchase new ones, and we don't have any intention of cooperating, and I'm not interested in your company's formula. Wang Haoan interrupted the other party's words.

Fujiwara San looked at Wang Haoan suddenly, why aren't these people the middle-aged man in charge, and why is it this young man who finally makes the decision?

Oops, this old production line can't be sold, right?
