Chapter 122: Qian Jin's suggestion

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhang San just came to the front yard and the monkey came over to say that Qian Jin had come and was waiting in the hall.

Zhang San asked the monkey to get some packaged seasoning, Zhang San entered the living room, Qian Jin got up and looked at Zhang San and asked, "Third brother, are you looking for me?" ”

Zhang San waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and said, "Business has been good recently. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Qian Jin immediately said: "It's all the blessing of the third brother, and I have really made a lot of money recently." ”

Zhang San nodded and said: "That's right, this year I have increased the trading of briquettes and briquette stoves, this thing is a daily consumable, although the profit is low, and the income after a large amount is also considerable." But it's low-tech and can be easily imitated. ”

Zhang San looked at him and said: "So instead of cheapening others, it is better to cheapen your own people, and after the sales here in the capital are stable, I will start to supply you with the production mold of the coal hammer, furnace core and iron drum, and then you will organize your own production and sales to your own area." ”

Qian Jin's eyes lit up after hearing this, and said, "Thank you, third brother, but how will we demarcate the sales area in the future?" ”

Zhang San said with a smile: "This depends on your sales, but as far as the current situation is concerned, you will have the right of first choice." ”

The monkey was holding a few spices at this time, and Zhang San motioned for the monkey to put the spices on the table where Qian Jin.

Zhang San continued: "This is the unified packaging of the seasonings sold in the future, which are sixteen incense, thirteen incense, and five-spice powder. Look what's wrong. ”

Qian Jin picked them up one by one and found that these small packages were very exquisite, Zhang San continued: "In the future, this kind of Xinghetang spice in two or two packages will be used as an important product for us to sell." Look what's wrong. ”

Qian Jin looked at the packaging and asked, "Third brother, why do you have to make this seasoning so fine, it costs a lot of money." ”

Zhang San said with a smile: "The addition of this packaging is to prevent others from counterfeiting, as for the price, you don't have to worry, not only will I not increase the price, but I will reduce the price." ”

Zhang San pointed to these three spices and said: "In the future, the purchase price of this sixteen incense is forty Wen, the price of thirteen incense is twenty Wen, and the price of this five-spice powder is Fifteen Wen." As for the unified price of the capital, the price of 16 incense is 49 Wen, 13 incense is 29 Wen, and 5 incense powder is 19 Wen, and the price in other regions is set by yourself. ”

Qian Jin thought in his heart, Zhang San continued: "The next step is to have packaging and your own brand, so you don't have to sell door-to-door one by one, but rely on spice shops and grocery stores." ”

Qian Jin's eyes lit up after hearing this, so that he could spread the goods quickly, but after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head, everyone didn't recognize this thing, and it couldn't be sold in the store.

Qian Jin asked: "Third brother, although this thing is good, everyone doesn't know and can't sell it?" ”

Zhang San nodded and said, "This requires you to work hard to publicize it." Let the restaurant use it first, and then naturally some people will come to visit. ”

Qian Jin said that he knew after turning around in his mind a few times, and then Qian Jin said: "Third brother, I have a suggestion that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

Zhang San nodded and asked, "You say." ”

Qian Jin said: "The third brother knows that this kind of thing is most afraid of moisture, once it is damp, it will become moldy and agglomerate, although your packaging is good-looking, but once it is damp, it is difficult to dry it inside, especially when it is shipped to other places, so I think the third brother can sell it to us when it is not packaged, and when we pull it back and need it, we will pack it ourselves." ”

After Zhang San listened, he turned around in the house, he seemed to have ignored this problem, he used to buy things that were packaged, but everyone was sealed and moisture-proof, and there was indeed such a problem with a simple paper bag like himself.

Now the embarrassment is that their workers have been recruited, and they can't say that they are not packaged and are driving them back, how embarrassing it is, but if it is shipped back and stored poorly, it will really mildew and deteriorate, which will affect the brand image.

However, if they are asked to pull back and pack it themselves, it is inconvenient to manage, and second, they are afraid that they will be shoddy or short of catties. So can it be sealed with moisture with the existing technology? Wine vat mud seal? You can't pull the cylinder around every time. Lime moisture absorption method, how much lime is needed in rainy weather. Suddenly, Zhang San's wit moved, and there was a wax seal in ancient times.

Zhang San thought about it, so that the interface of the package is sealed with wax, and then after packing, the lime is sealed, as long as the packaging is not damaged, then it will reduce the possibility of moisture, and this sealing can also extend its shelf life.

At that moment, Zhang San said excitedly: "Your suggestion is very good, I will deal with the sealing problem, and once mildew is found in the sales process, as long as it is our goods, we will return and replace." ”

Then Zhang San took the money in and took a look at the whole process of briquette production. Qian Jin looked at the endless stream of horse-drawn carriages coming and going, a strange brilliance flashed in his eyes, Zhang San patted Qian Jin's shoulder and said: "Qian Jin, I am optimistic about you, there are many big cities like Kaifeng in the Great Song Dynasty." You've got to work hard. ”

The money went in and left, Zhang San took a turn here and found that the manpower on the ironmaking side was still a little insufficient, although he found a few apprentices, but many parts still needed a few blacksmiths to build by themselves. Zhang San immediately asked Li Si to recruit a few more blacksmiths.

The wharf is also busier now, one is that those coal shops have begun to stock up on coal for the winter, and Zhang San is constantly buying crushed coal to transport here. Zhang San planned to let Li Si go to the Bianhe River in the south tomorrow, and occupy the market first while the followers had not yet appeared.

Zhang San is now a little worried about these coal bosses, because the sale of briquettes will inevitably affect his sales of no coal, and they will blame themselves if they can't sell too much inventory.

Zhang San took a turn here and found a charcoal seller in many coal shops, Zhang San's impression of the place where charcoal is used is only a barbecue stall, but in Dasong charcoal is indeed an important fuel, but with the application of coal, charcoal gradually decreased.

However, it is more common for high-end households to use charcoal, such as charcoal pots for heating in winter, charcoal stoves, and so on. Zhang San thought of hot pot, but it was a pity that copper was a controlled item in the Great Song Dynasty, and it had to be sold by the government, otherwise it would be a good deal to sell hot pot for money.

This bullshit Da Song is a monopoly on everything, and he is tied to whatever business he wants. But Zhang San looked at the charcoal and always felt that there was a big business waiting for him, but what it was, he really couldn't remember anything, Zhang San went into the store and bought two catties of charcoal to go back, ready to be free and thinking slowly.

After entering the yard, everyone looked at Zhang San carrying charcoal, which was a little strange, after all, he was a coal seller, so why buy charcoal. Zhang San staggered back to his house with charcoal, and he really couldn't remember what kind of business it was.
