Section 31 The final ending of the coconut
Speaking of coconut water, the best in China is only the coconut tree brand. However www.biquge.info the small city of Runing does not seem to attract the attention of the Coconut Tree Group, after all, it is a small city. In 1992, coconut water from coconut palm became one of the professional drinks for state banquets, and coconuts are almost not sold in many small northern cities.
There are only three large department stores in Runing today, and they are nowhere near as big as the hypermarkets a decade later. Occasionally, her adoptive father would take star fruit to the store, and she usually didn't ask for much other than to buy some biscuits. As in history, carbonated drinks are now dominated by the beverage industry, followed by fruit drinks, and dairy products are only packaged pure milk.
There are also beverage companies in Runing, of course, the main products are actually copycat Sprite and Jianlibao. Coca-Cola's carbonated drink recipe is written on the bottle, so of course the local manufacturers are copying it. The recipes are simple and inexpensive, and the drinks are a lot cheaper than the bottles that encapsulate them.
Later, when the post-80s grew up, they recalled their childhood, and in addition to popsicles, the most exposed in summer were carbonated drinks produced in local cities of various colors, which became a good memory. Star fruit remembers when she was a child, and the drink was still popular. The bottles are recycled, and the vendors only sell drinks at very low prices.
Regarding what to do with unsalable coconuts, star fruit is really difficult. Even though the coconut is full of treasures, how can it be turned into money?
As usual, Daming still went to the factory office every night to look for star fruit. The large factory building has been renovated, a brick wall has divided the conference room, the office has a reception room, the work has become formal, and the star fruit has also sat on a tailor-made chair. This chair was given by Peng Zhiyuan, who had negotiated the nail business before, and he was very satisfied with the customized nails.
On this day, as soon as Daming came to the factory, he went straight to the office. "Peach Blossom, how is the situation with that batch of coconuts?"
Star fruit seemed to be a little sluggish lying on the table, and Yang Dexin finished the night shift with parallax on the side, and was reading the newspaper. Seeing that Daming was coming, the star fruit perked up a little. "Brother Zhong is coming back soon, and he said that there are still a large pile of coconuts that have not been sold."
Daming was anxious to know the truth, and star fruit said she didn't know either. "Alas, I'm afraid that this batch of coconuts will be spoiled, and after so many days, this batch of fruits will be in trouble."
"No, you can leave the coconut for another month." The star fruit on her stomach smiled. "My brother hasn't eaten a coconut?"
"Of course, I drank coconut water, and my father brought it from Zhengzhou. We don't have to sell this place, neither Master nor you have ever eaten it, have you ever eaten real coconut? ”
Carambola immediately sat up impatiently. "Of course I eat ......it," suddenly remembering that he was only a four-year-old, "of course I haven't eaten." "Hehe, I almost turned over the buried memories again.
Under normal circumstances, Yang Dexin does not want to chat with the two children, as the top decision-makers of the machinery factory, there is no problem with the decision-making at present. The speculation of wholesale oranges was successful, and it proved that he had not stopped his daughter from making the right decision before, and invested a lot, and as a result, he made more than double his income in more than half a month. And the only thing that worries us at the moment is this batch of unsalable coconuts.
"If it's fruit, it's sure to sell, as long as it's fresh, it's up to you to use your brains."
What the adoptive father said was very general, so how should this coconut use his brain? "Why don't we open a beverage factory too?" Star fruit asked weakly.
"Probably not, we're all mechanical. Interlaced like a mountain, don't you see this upside-down fruit still please Brother Zhong. Da Ming objected.
"That's right, don't you ask our beverage company here. I see that they make carbonated drinks, and I don't know how to make a fruit drink. ”
Making drinks really inspired Daming. "Then ask the beverage company if you want to add some coconut water to the sugar water, then the drink will definitely be hot." The coconut is a sweet fruit wrapped in a layer of wood, although he has never eaten it, the specific structure is also understood. Zhong Haokai revealed that the coconut he bought was very fresh, which can only mean that it is an unprocessed coconut fruit, and it is estimated that they are also worried about giving this large pile of wood to the beverage company. "Or are we going to break up the coconuts and just sell them coconut water?"
"Great idea! If it's just coconut water, just use an electric drill or drill a hole directly with a stamping machine. After a little gratification, the star fruit turned to look at her father.
"Okay, okay, I'll talk to the beverage company." Yang Dexin fully understands his daughter's hints. Business has not gone any better, and the business has been so smooth in the past few months that he feels a very serious sense of distortion, and all the changes started when he met his daughter. She trusts her daughter immensely, and her existence has made his wealth reach a level he dare not imagine, and this is only half a year.
"This unsalable coconut is also a lesson, and when Xiao Zhong comes back, you can talk to him about it."
"Of course, I didn't say I was buying coconuts in the first place. Wait until the coconut is not sold well and call and ask us to clean up the aftermath for him, really, hum! ”
Little Lori pouted her mouth to vent her dissatisfaction, this scene is really cute. Da Mingle sighed: "Sai Weng lost his horse and knew that it was not a blessing~"
It has been decided that when the batch of coconuts comes back, first the surface layer will be removed, and then the manual press will drill the hole. This kind of stamping machine is a copycat arsenal, in the previous life this tool star fruit dismantling and decoration many times, in order to process the coconut, she deliberately asked to make a batch of extended levers.
In late November, Zhong Haokai returned, and the cart of coconuts was pulled directly to the factory's unloading yard. Carambola and others also have a family yard aunts who have been waiting for a long time, and the aunts are temporarily hired to be responsible for the pre-processing of coconuts.
When the hatch of the truck opened, a pile of coconuts involuntarily rolled on the concrete floor. "Brother Zhong, this ...... That's what you're talking about a lot? Da Ming looked at this pile of coconuts and worried, the number was too large. It's a heavy truck, and the situation isn't as rosy as it says on the phone. This coconut didn't sell much at all.
Before, in Zhengzhou, because of these excessively fresh coconuts, processing its shell became a major annoyance. After a few people buy, not many people come back, and the buyers have the mentality of trying it out. There is a kung fu to knock the coconut and go directly to buy coconut water, Zhengzhou is a big city, and the juice in the south has always been sold here. The outermost layer of wood of the coconut is fluffy, and the further you go, the harder it becomes, so much so that some people even process the coconut into rice bowls.
Zhong Haokai patted the dust on his body, and he was still the same after not seeing him for many days. The workers were already unloading, and he walked directly in front of the star fruit and Da Ming. "Kids, my brother has made a lot of money this time. If this coconut can't be sold, it's mine, don't make it difficult, 100,000 oranges earned 300,000, according to what I said before, you get 210,000, and the rest belongs to me. The excess 100,000 yuan invested will be returned untouched. ”
Da Ming nodded, this time the total investment was 200,000, and it became 310,000 back and forth. For some reason, this child has always been exposed to a huge amount of money in this short period of time, and he is not at all crazy like an upstart, this is the feeling of star fruit. Although she also loves money, she loves the era of material abundance in the 21st century.
"So, Brother Zhong, what do you want if we don't deal with this coconut for you?" Star fruit asked curiously.
"This? I haven't thought about this yet. He scratched his head and snorted, "Look at your formation, have you thought of a way?" ”
"Of course! Brother Zhong, you too, when you sell oranges, you say that coconuts are not easy to sell. You really dare to buy it, this coconut is so fresh, it's so fresh that it was picked directly from the tree. “
The little girl was unforgiving, but everyone was happy.
"Maybe it was really a mistake. At the beginning, the people in Zhanjiang said that the fresh coconuts they wanted were a bit ridiculous, but they still brought me fresh ones. They are all newly picked from Hainan Island. ”
"yes, so you have to take this failure as a lesson. But if you meet me, it won't be a failure, and all the coconuts will be sold to the beverage factory. ”
Da Ming hurriedly explained. Yes, Yang Dexin called the beverage company the day after that chat, and when he heard the call of the director of Dexin Machinery Factory, he directly alarmed the owner of the beverage factory. It's all private companies, and the beverage company thinks it's a machine factory selling some new equipment, but when they hear it, it's actually selling coconuts.
The business opportunity was fleeting, and the company that learned that it was a fresh coconut drink was immediately very interested. They don't want pure coconut, they just want coconut water, and if they can coconut meat, they want it. In this era, carbonated drinks are still relatively simple, and fruity drinks are made by adding fruit juice, and there is no coconut flavor here in the mainland. For this reason, Yang Dexin also went to the fruit company, and the star fruit was also brought over by the way. One is to be his own consultant, and the other is really a little uneasy to leave her alone in the factory. The two sides negotiated a suitable price, and the star fruit nodded and agreed, and then waited for Zhong Haokai's coconut to arrive.
The unloading yard soon turned into a "coconut processing factory", where the mothers struggled to peel off the shells of the coconuts with kitchen knives, and the core was packed into baskets and sent to the factory. The busy work of the aunts was very rewarding, they peeled 30,000 coconuts a day and took them all. Afterwards, the remuneration of thirty yuan per person, thirty yuan is a lot of money in this era. 30,000 coconuts, star fruit was very surprised, first, there are so many huge quantities, which can only show that he Zhong Haokai is very good at GD, and it is said that he is a professional in fruits. The second is the transportation volume of trucks, and heavy trucks are ruthless. He transported 30,000 coconuts for less than two kilograms, and that was not enough to reach the truck's maximum load.
The processing of small hardware has slowed down temporarily, and the sales of small hardware have declined significantly recently. Before the machinery factory closed, small hardware and so on became a hot goods, with the debut of the new machinery factory immediately ushered in a retaliatory dumping period, and now it is slowly returning to normal sales. It makes perfect sense for such workers to process this batch of coconuts temporarily.
The reinforced lever makes it easy for the nails to pierce the coconut, and the coconut water is poured into a large clean plastic bucket and sealed. The remaining coconut shells are taken away, crushed by a press, and the coconut flesh is manually peeled out. The bored workers chewed the coconut meat casually, and in the face of this scene, the star fruit changed their minds, and this batch of coconut meat was not sold.
Many workers are eating coconut for the first time, and coconut meat can be juiced to make a good protein drink. This is the first time I have eaten coconut since going back in time, and star fruit is very happy.
The coconut incident ended quickly, and the coconut water was sent to the beverage company to get a good review, which is really the real coconut water. In order to prove that this is true, Yang Dexin also gave the relevant person in charge a few fresh coconuts when it was delivered. Later, the coconut-flavored soda became a hit, and the beverage company made a lot of money, and since then the two sides have planned to ship coconuts and other southern fruits to them every year.
How to deal with coconut meat? Star fruit and Daming decided to give most of the gifts, and kept some of them as snacks. Each worker gets a packet, coconut meat is like preserved fruit, not too sweet and greasy, the more you chew, the more fragrant it is, it is really suitable for all ages. The aunt who participated in the coconut peeling in the family home also got a share of the coconut meat afterwards.
The old man chewed the coconut meat sent by his grandson and smiled. "Oh, this grandson is really powerful, he has earned hundreds of thousands of dollars now, and he will definitely make a fortune when he grows up."
