Chapter 396: Nutritional Mixture Sales

Bentonville, Arkansas, USA, inside the office of Walmart Inc.

Sitting in the back of the office, Frans, who was the department manager in charge of purchasing, was looking at the secretary who walked in and asked in a deep voice.

"Are the results of the analysis out?"

The secretary nodded and placed a document on his boss's desk.

"Coming out, our researchers found several interesting plant proteins in this thing called Nutrient Mixture. Although it is not known whether it is synthesized or extracted from which plant, food safety is perfectly fine. ”

"By FDA standards?" Frans reconfirmed.

"Yes. The secretary nodded affirmatively.

Since the scandal broke out in 15 years, Walmart has become cautious in its attitude towards health supplement suppliers.

At that time, Walmart sold ginkgo biloba leaves that claimed to improve memory, but after inspection by the prosecutors, it contained only radish powder and wheat flour, and the label said that it did not contain wheat or gluten, which caused allergies in some users.

This incident set off a big wave at that time, and for a time Wal-Mart and other four large supermarket chains were pushed to the forefront of public opinion. Although after more than a year of cooling, people have almost revealed this matter, Walmart is still more than twice as strict when choosing health care products and food suppliers.

Three days ago, he had received a package signed by a future human creature. The package was accompanied by a sample and an invitation letter.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fame of the Future People Group, Frans might not even look at it, so he would have passed this product labeled as "liquid food" and "full stomach weight loss".

Frans picked up the analysis and glanced at it. However, the more he read, the more solemn his gaze became. Especially when he saw the columns of Clinical Response and Estimation of Effect. His eyes were almost glued to the paper.

"Snapping" slapped the document on the table, and he immediately ordered the secretary.

"Send a salesman to the new country immediately. We've got to sign this list, no, send that guy Jim himself. Frans immediately ordered his secretary.

"But boss, Jim has to talk to the representative of Prius Biotech in the afternoon about-"

"Let his assistant take his place," Frans waved his hand, "put this report in front of him, and he will know how important this thing is to us." I don't care what method he uses, in three days I want to see a supply contract on my desk. ”

The secretary nodded and turned to go out.

Leaning back in his office chair, Frans took a deep breath. A look of joy appeared on his face.

America's fat guy -- oh no, it's Wal-Mart's health care product sign that has been saved!

The same scene is playing out in different places, and major retailers are investigating the origin of this future human creature. No one knows why Future People International suddenly entered the health care and food markets, but who cares? When the magic of nutritional mixtures was discovered, almost all retailers threw an olive branch to this newly established company.

"A total of 13 retailers responded to our 15 invitations and expressed their intention to cooperate with this product. In the shareholders' meeting room, a man was reporting to Jiang Chen, the sole shareholder.

Tao Ming. New Zealand-Chinese, male, 31, former department manager of Prius Health Products Company. He has rich experience in product planning and marketing. He is now the general manager of Future Human Biology, which Jiang Chen recruited from Prius Health Products Company with a high salary of $20,000 per month through an international headhunting company.

If you don't have enough talent, you will use money to smash it. Anyway, Jiang Chen, whose R&D cost is basically zero, doesn't need to think about the problem of loss at all.

"In addition, our online stores on Amazon, Taobao and other e-commerce platforms have also entered the final stage of preparation. The cargo will be transported from the deep-water port on Anga Island to the port of Darwin, Australia. Use it as a springboard to supply the world. ”

Although it was said in a very general way, it was in the vernacular that Jiang Chen could understand. It seems that this Tao Ming is also quite smart. I knew that Jiang Chen didn't understand those professional terms.

"Not bad. How many goods do you need per month?" Jiang Chen nodded.

"In cooperation with retailers, the monthly supply order should be more than 100,000 cases. Online store sales are highly variable, and depending on the marketing investment, sales can fluctuate between 10,000 and 1 million cases. ”

A box of $500 profits, a million boxes of $500 million, that's a bit scary.

Seeing that Tao Ming stopped talking and looked at himself without saying anything, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile and said.

"Let's just say something. ”

"If we can push advertisements for nutritional mixtures on the platform of Future People 1.0, it will be very helpful to build the brand's reputation. Tao Ming tentatively proposed.

"No problem, I'll contact you about this. By the way, do you need to get a celebrity spokesperson or something when you advertise?" Jiang Chen asked.

Hearing Jiang Chen ask about the spokesperson, Tao Ming nodded.

"It's better to be so. Based on the results of the discussions in the marketing department, I would recommend hiring a Hollywood star such as Emma Watson or Chloe Moretz as a product ambassador to pave the way for a global market.

"Wait, how does Emma Watson's name sound so familiar. Jiang Chen frowned slightly, thinking about where he had heard this name.

Seeing the boss's expression, Tao Ming smiled.

"Have you seen Harry Potter?"

"Novel?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Movies. Emma plays Hermione. Tao Ming said.

"Oh oh oh! But how do I think it's better to let her endorse than to let the person who plays Porter endorse, what kind of fat guy has become in the next few films. Jiang Chen glanced at him and said with ill will.

"Boss, it's better to put down the plot of the movie first when discussing business. Tao Ming coughed and reminded with some embarrassment.

"Haha, sorry, I just got a fork. Hmm, your suggestion is which star is better?" Jiang Chen asked.

"The first choice is Emma. Of course, there are many more options. ”

"How much do you estimate the endorsement fee?" Jiang Chen then asked.

"It's expected to be between $1 million and $1.5 million, which will definitely vary depending on the endorsement project. Tao Ming replied.

It's not very expensive either. Speaking of which, isn't Roberts a director in Los Angeles?

"Alright, I'll leave it to you. Jiang Chen said.

Tao Ming nodded.

"I also have a meeting with Walmart representatives in the afternoon, where we will discuss the supply contract. If nothing else, I'm going to sign a contract for a monthly supply of 50,000 boxes, is there no problem with the production capacity?"

"No problem. I'll take care of the expansion of production, and you can take care of the sales. Jiang Chen waved his hand.

It's a big deal to go back to the end of the world, get more inducers to expand the planting area of DH seaweed, and get more organic conversion furnaces to come back to "juice". If it works well, the business of this nutritional mixture will bring him 1-200 million US dollars per month, considering the stability and sustainability of the real economy, the prospects of this future human biology are not inferior to that of future human technology.

At this moment, there were several soft knocks at the door.

Tao Ming looked at the door, it was his secretary.

"Walmart representatives have arrived. ”

"It's already there? so soon. Tao Ming couldn't help but show a surprised expression, "You told him to wait first, I'm in the board meeting-"

"No, you go first. Jiang Chen stood up with a smile, "I'm almost done understanding what I should know, I just have to pick up people at the airport later, so the board of directors will be here." ”

"I haven't seen the operational plan yet. After all, this is a major decision for the development of the company, and it is better to be personally reviewed by the chairman. Tao Ming said with some hesitation.

"No, I believe in your abilities. Walking to Tao Ming's side and stopping, Jiang Chen patted him on the shoulder and encouraged, "Do a good job, I will give you enough space to show your strengths." ”

Tao Ming looked at Jiang Chen gratefully.

Seriously, the reason why he jumped ship and came here was that the high salary offered by the future human creatures was one thing, but what made him even more excited was Jiang Chen's promise to give him power. When he used to work at Prius, how many excellent proposals could not be passed due to the disagreement of the board of directors and the tight capital chain, and in the end, the year-end performance appraisal had to be memorized by these part-time workers.

As the saying goes, a soldier dies for his confidant, and because of this trust, he swears that he will not disappoint Jiang Chen. (To be continued.) )
