Chapter 276, Processing Plant
There are also some agents such as Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, Pepsi and other large American companies, who do not care about the threat of Jardine Matheson.
Because the brand is too loud, it is impossible for Dalilian and Parknshop not to sell their goods, and although Lei's supermarket has just opened, it has developed rapidly, and now the shipment volume has reached half of the sales of Dalilian and Parknshop, and it is believed that it will surpass Dalilian and Parknshop to become the largest customers of these companies in Hong Kong.
In the eyes of these large enterprises, normal business competition is okay, and they will not care about buying a bottle and giving a bottle or anything in the supermarket, but it is a bit inferior to demand the cessation of supply by threatening to stop supply.
In addition, Lei Weidong is not a role to bully, not to mention Lei Weidong's own status, just the shipment volume of Lei's supermarket, these companies will not give up a big customer like Lei Weidong.
Of course, there are still many commodities, such as instant noodles, ham sausages and other snack foods, small household appliances, hardware supplies, these things are not available in the mainland now, and even if they are rarely exported, they are all produced in local factories in Taiwan or Hong Kong, and the intermediate suppliers of these commodities are all forced to invest in Dalilian and Parknshop, so that Lei Weidong has nothing to sell.
So Lei Weidong sent people to negotiate with those middlemen, and if it didn't work, he sent people to contact the manufacturer directly. If those manufacturers still can't do it, if they are stuck by the owner, Lei Weidong will be ruthless and simply produce it himself.
The mainland is rich in agricultural products, such as wheat, rice, sugar beets, sugar cane, radish, chili peppers, pigs, cattle, and so on.
It can be said that supporting processing can maximize benefits, and flour mills are naturally the first choice; followed by sugar mills; Radish can also be used as pickles and peppers! The old godmother of later generations is popular in the world, so there must be a seasoning factory; The slaughterhouse must also have this, in the future meat will consume a lot of meat! And it doesn't require much investment;
The more I think about it, the more it is realized, Lei Weidong can proudly say that Lei's supermarket is self-sufficient in food, clothing, housing and transportation, except for housing and transportation, and it is absolutely inexpensive.
Of course, it is not so simple to open a factory, there are too many things such as buying machines, renting land, building factories and looking for workers, or how simple it is to directly acquire a few foremen in one step, as for what to do if the product cannot be sold, it doesn't matter!
Now the mainland market is blank, in 20 years is a seller's market, when the time comes to move the factory to the mainland, where as long as you can produce, things will not worry about selling, such a good opportunity if not seize the identity of the traverser.
"Adong, now there are fifteen large and small flour mills in Hong Kong, of which only two are large-scale, and they have achieved profitability, seven have basically guaranteed their capital, and the other six have entered a state of loss, and the competition is very fierce!" Because there was no secretary, Zhong Chuhong made a cameo appearance in this position.
For Lei Weidong's idea of acquiring a flour mill, Zhong Chuhong does not occupy or oppose it, because in Zhong Chuhong's view, Hong Kong's flour milling industry market has long been saturated, and the competitive pressure is too great, and it is difficult to make money now when he joins in.
As for not objecting, it is very simple, Lei Weidong became a billionaire at a young age, and his vision is not comparable to himself, and he must see the future of this industry.
"Ah Hong, how much do you think it will cost me to buy a flour mill?" Lei Weidong asked.
Zhong Chuhong was silent for a moment, as if he was valuing the factory, and then said: "Adong, if it is a small bankrupt factory, it may be purchased for less than one million if it is very cheap, and the two flour mills that are making a profit may need millions, and if it is even the land, it may need tens of millions!" ”
A small factory that goes bankrupt definitely can't! Lei Weidong originally wanted to buy a small flour mill to do it first, but when he thought about the loss of the factory, there must be such and such problems, the equipment is old or the management is not good, or the scale is too small, not competitive, now in this case, it would be good if someone is willing to take over, and he will definitely not be picky, but it is useless for Lei Weidong to buy the production capacity.
"Well, then contact the factory owners first to see if they have any plans to sell, and I'll decide after evaluating them!" Lei Weidong instructed: "The focus is on those companies that basically guarantee the capital!" ”
Capitalists are profit-seeking! - Capital
After some investigation, the results were very gratifying, and the owners of seven flour mills were willing to sell.
No one wants to do a business that is not profitable, and a small Hong Kong has so many people and so many flour mills, and the cruel competition makes people see the future of this industry.
Lei Weidong still handed over the negotiation to Liu Yueqin, after all, Zhong Chuhong's talent in this industry is not very good, she is still good at managing finances, and she is the best candidate for the housekeeper's wife.
As for Lei Weidong, he still won't say it, if he comes forward, a business of one million can make him negotiate two million.
In the end, Lei Weidong bought a flour mill called "Xiangzhihai" for 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars.
The machinery and equipment are good, it has only been used for less than two years, with more than 200 workers, full firepower, can produce 3,000 tons of flour per day, it can be said that only this flour mill can meet the needs of the whole Hong Kong people, after all, this is the south, flour is not the main food of Hong Kong people.
It can be said that after these machines were bought, the flour mill was not running at full capacity, and the number of employees has been reduced from more than 500 people in its heyday to the present.
Even so, the flour mill is struggling to hold on, teetering on the edge of losses and profits.
Lei Weidong was very satisfied with the acquisition, the new owner had to have a new atmosphere, and then changed the name of the flour mill.
"Master Kong Food Development Co., Ltd.", this lofty name, is the new name of the flour mill, indicating a new beginning. Well, in fact, it is completely a spoof of Lei Weidong, he plans to pirate all familiar brands in the future, and it also indicates that the products of the flour mill will be based on instant noodles in the future.
Lei Weidong retained the original director of the flour mill, after all, Lei Weidong did not have such a talent in his hands, and in the fiercely competitive Hong Kong, the flour mill was able to protect its capital, which was enough to prove the ability of the factory director.
The original flour mill is still running very well, it is well managed inside and out, and the cost is compressed to a minimum.
However, in terms of sales, it can be said that it is a mess, and in a small place like Hong Kong, it is definitely not big to do without opening up overseas markets.
But now with Lei Weidong, everything is not a problem, of course, in the short term, the sales of supermarkets are limited, and the overseas market cannot be opened, so the products must be deeply processed to make instant noodles.
Lei Weidong, as the big boss, personally went to the factory to appease the employees, made a promise in public, never owed wages, and guaranteed that the factory would get better and better, and everyone's treatment would be higher and higher.
