Chapter 397: "Little Gluttonous Cat" is online
Knock knock.
Inside the office, there was another knock on the door.
Li Chuan and Jiang Zeyu stopped talking, and then took out their mobile phones to check the time.
9:54 a.m.
At this point in time, Feng Xu should have arrived.
"Come in!"
Li Chuan put down his phone, raised his head and shouted.
The door opened, and Zhu Chenwei walked in.
He didn't come to him, he stood at the door and said, "Mr. Sen, Mr. Feng from Jiuxiang Food Factory has arrived." β
"Where is he?"
"It's right outside."
"Let him in."
"Okay."
Zhu Chenwei turned around and walked out of the office.
More than ten seconds later, Feng Xu walked in.
"Mr. Sen, Mr. Jiang."
When Feng Xu saw Li Chuan and Jiang Zeyu, he stepped forward with enthusiasm and stretched out his hands.
"How did you get here?"
"By car."
"Alone?"
"I brought an assistant and I asked him to wait outside."
"Oh."
ββ¦β¦β
After a simple handshake and greetings, several people came to the sofa and sat down.
Li Chuan didn't want to waste time, and after sitting down, he directly raised his hand and pointed to a handbag that Feng Xu was carrying, and asked, "What is this?" β
"This is a new product we have developed for the 'Little Glutton'."
Feng Xu said, opened the handbag, grabbed a large bag of snacks from it, and put it in front of Li Chuan, and then grabbed another handful and put it in front of Jiang Zeyu.
Li Chuan picked up a small bag, held it in his hand, and observed it carefully.
The outer packaging of the pouch snack is divided into two colors on the front, orange on the top and white on the bottom.
The orange part above, with a cartoon cat drawn on the left.
The pattern has only one head, sticking out the tongue, which looks playful and cute, and the whole is outlined with a black pen, and it looks very concise.
This pattern is the brand logo of "Little Gluttonous Cat" that has been finalized.
On the right side of the logo, the words "Little Gluttonous Cat" are written, in cartoon fonts, and it looks very cute.
In the white part below, there is a poster pattern of fish tofu.
The fish tofu has a rich color and some red pepper powder on top, which looks very appetizing.
There are two lines at the bottom left of the poster pattern:
γSpicyγ
[Net contents: 65g]
The back of the package is orange as a whole, and there are many words on it, which are various information such as product name, ingredients, product standards, food production license, storage conditions, production date, shelf life, and origin.
The whole outer packaging doesn't look complicated, but it's very beautiful, and people can't find anything wrong.
Li Chuan was quite satisfied.
He put the bag down, then took another one from the table.
The outer packaging of this bag looks a little different, but it is only a difference in color, except for the color, there is almost no difference in other places.
The color of the previous bag is orange and white, and the color of this bag is blue and white...... Orange and blue, the visual effect is quite different, so it will give people a feeling of "different packaging".
As for why you choose a different color combination, it is because the two tastes are different.
For small snacks, the most common way to distinguish the taste is the color of the outer packaging.
The Kuka Food Factory has apparently adopted this approach.
Their setting of the "Little Gluttonous Cat" brand fish tofu is orange spicy, blue sweet and spicy, in addition, there are red spicy, purple slightly spicy, green original, a total of five flavors.
Li Chuan tore open the package and tasted them one by one, feeling very good.
"Yes, you can."
Li Chuan sighed while chewing: "This taste is much better than I imagined." β
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Jiang Zeyu next to him and asked, "What do you think?" β
Jiang Zeyu didn't speak, just gave a thumbs up, indicating that it was delicious.
After getting the answer, Li Chuan instructed Feng Xu again: "You give these to the employees, let them also taste and make an evaluation." β
"Okay."
Feng Xu answered, got up and was about to leave the office.
"Wait a minute."
Li Chuan got up from the sofa and said, "Let's go with you." β
ββ¦β¦β
Several people came to the office lobby to distribute snacks to the employees.
The employees of Miki Network, who are not very old, heard that there were snacks to eat, and all the samples brought by Feng Xu were wiped out after a while.
Li Chuan asked them to comment, most of them said it was delicious, and only a few said it was a little spicy or a little greasy.
Overall, the rating is already quite high.
The investigation ended, and several people returned to the chairman's office.
"The taste is okay, just follow this recipe, it's pretty good." Li Chuan clapped his head.
"Okay." Feng Xu nodded, a smile on his face.
"Is the price set?" Li Chuan asked again.
"It's settled."
"How much?"
"On the line, we set 9 9 30 bags, 19 9 70 bags, 39 9 160 bags; Offline is five cents a bag...... Our shipments are normally sold like this. β
"Is it a bulk shipment?"
"It's not shipped in bulk, it's in large packages, 30 bags, 70 bags, 160 bags."
"Where's the big package? Why didn't I see it? β
"It's not made yet, but it's already being done, and we'll get it by tomorrow afternoon at the latest."
"Do you have a picture?"
"Yes, I'll find it for you."
Feng Xu took out his mobile phone, opened the photo album, and rummaged through it.
"That's it, take a look."
Feng Xu said and handed the phone to Li Chuan.
Li Chuan took it, looked at it carefully, and finally nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's not bad." β
After speaking, he handed the phone back to Feng Xu, and then asked, "Have you accounted for the cost?" What is the approximate profit margin? β
"The materials we use are similar to before, and there is not much difference in cost...... In our previous experience, if the monthly shipment can be more than one million, the profit margin can be guaranteed to be at least 45%. β
"Does a million refer to a pouch?"
"Yes."
"That's okay."
Li Chuan nodded and said, "Okay!" Just do it, don't change it, you go back and focus on it, improve the production efficiency, make it early, and I'll arrange it for you to put on the shelves. β
"The ......"
Feng Xu's face was entangled.
"What's wrong?"
"Mr. Sen, isn't it Saturday, that ......?"
"What happened on Saturday?"
"Saturday...... Aren't you going live? Feng Xu looked at Li Chuan and said with a blank eye.
"What do you mean?"
Li Chuan raised his eyebrows: "I'm live broadcasting, what does it have to do with you?" This product has just been set and has not yet been officially put into production, do you still want me to help you sell it today? β
"It's going to be put into production very quickly."
Feng Xu hurriedly explained: "The ingredients are all available in the factory, we only need to adjust them according to the formula, and we can put them into production immediately, and we can do it in two hours at most...... Small packages, we have already entered a batch, the second batch, we can come over tomorrow, and the large packages will also come over tomorrow, which is completely in time. β
Li Chuan frowned for a while and said, "I'll sell it tonight, and you can only ship it tomorrow, do you want to produce and sell at the same time?" β
"If it's time, we can go pre-sale."
"How many days is the presale?"
"A week, oh no, five days, or three days."
"How much can you produce in three days?"
"If we work overtime, we can produce a million bags a day."
"Three million in three days?"
"Hmm."
"How many is three million?"
"Almost...... Forty thousand orders. β
"40,000 single ......"
Li Chuan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, it's too little." β
A product sells 40,000 orders, which seems like a lot, but it depends on what kind of product it is.
If it is a high-priced product with a customer unit price of more than 200, then 40,000 orders is indeed a lot, after all, the sales volume is close to or even more than 10 million...... A product sells for 10 million, which is definitely not a small amount.
However, the unit price of small snacks such as fish and tofu is too low, only 9 pieces of 9, 19 pieces of 9 and 39 pieces of 9.
This kind of product with a low customer unit price, Li Chuan can sell it casually, and he can get close to 100,000 orders.
40,000 orders, that's absolutely not enough.
Since it's not enough, there's no need to go unless it's very profitable.
Is fish tofu very profitable?
Of course not.
9 pieces of 9, 19 pieces of 9, 39 pieces of 9 things, even if they sell 100,000 orders, the sales are only a few million.
With millions of sales, no matter how high the profit margin is, it won't make much money.
In this way, there is no need to toss.
"Is 40,000 orders less?" Feng Xu was a little dazed.
"Haven't you watched my live stream?"
"I've seen it."
"Then you don't know my sales?"
"Your sales...... Isn't it just tens of thousands of orders? β
"That's a high unit value."
Li Chuan said a little helplessly: "Whether you are a low customer unit price or a consumable snack product, the volume must be much larger than that of a high customer unit price." β
"Uh, how much does it take to sell?"
"At least 100,000 orders."
"100,000 orders!"
"Hmm."
"This ......"
Feng Xu was taken aback, and it took a while to calm down.
He swallowed his saliva and said, "Or...... Pre-sale for a week? In a week, we can make 100,000 orders ......"
"What else do you do in a week?"
Li Chuan frowned and interrupted: "I'll help you sell it directly next week, isn't it okay, what are you still tossing?" β
"Ugh."
Feng Xu was dumbfounded for a while.
"Alright, don't think about it so much."
Li Chuan waved his hand and said, "Let's go back to production first, and when I save 100,000 orders, I will sell them to you." β
A hint of disappointment flashed on Feng Xu's face, and he silently lowered his head and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Jiang Zeyu raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Feng Xu, don't be so anxious. β
"Huh?"
Feng Xu raised his head in a daze and looked at Jiang Zeyu.
Jiang Zeyu patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "You just took office, I know you want to make achievements, but don't be so anxious...... The more anxious you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes, and the more mistakes you make, the less desirable the results will be.
Just take your time and don't put so much pressure on yourself...... You just need to control the quality and make sure that there are no problems, even if it is a little slower, we won't blame you, you know? β
"Uh, I understand." Feng Xu's face was stunned, and he nodded in response.
"The quality of the goods is the most important, followed by logistics and after-sales, and you can't lag behind, you must remember."
"I understand."
Feng Xu stood up from the sofa, bowed to Li Chuan and Jiang Zeyu, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, and thank you, Mr. Sen, I ...... just now I'm really in a hurry, I'm sorry, in the future, I will try to do a good job, don't worry. β
"It's fine." Jiang Zeyu smiled and waved his hand.
Li Chuan glanced at Feng Xu, then at Jiang Zeyu, pondered for a moment, turned his head to Feng Xu and said, "If you want to be fine, go back to work as soon as possible, and when all aspects of the problem are solved, you come over again, and I will ask Wang Chengyong to arrange for you to be on the shelf." β
"Oh, okay, then I'...... Gone first? β
"Hmm."
"Goodbye Mr. Sen, goodbye Mr. Jiang."
"Slow down on the road."
ββ¦β¦β
After Feng Xu left the office, Li Chuan turned his head to look at Jiang Zeyu and asked, "What's the matter with him?" β
"Maybe I'm a little anxious."
"Anxious?" Li Chuan frowned slightly.
"Well, when I was stationed at the Jiuxiang Food Factory, I found out that he was inexperienced...... Before, although he was the deputy general manager of Jiuxiang Food Factory, he didn't take care of so many things.
Now that he has become the general manager, he has to look for him for everything, and he can't take care of it...... Recently, he worked overtime every day, busy until one or two o'clock in the morning, and some things were not handled very well, which made him very stressed, and after a period of time, he was a little exhausted.
He came to you this time and wanted you to help him bring the goods tonight, probably because he wanted to get his results early...... When the results are out, he can relax, otherwise, he may not be able to sleep well at night. β
Li Chuan couldn't help frowning and said, "Can he do it?" No, just change people early. β
"Wait and see."
Jiang Zeyu said with a serious face: "He doesn't necessarily have no ability, maybe he is inexperienced...... Let him do it for a while, get familiar with the situation, maybe he will get used to it, if he can make some more achievements, his self-confidence can also be restored, and when the time comes, he may not do badly. β
Li Chuan thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "Okay, then let's take a look, but you have to keep an eye on it...... The position of general manager is very important, and if there is a problem, it must not be delayed...... You send someone over to keep an eye on the problem, and if you have a problem and report it, if you are okay, you can also go over and see how it is going. β
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
"Hmm."
Li Chuan nodded, and said, "There is one more thing, don't forget." β
"What?"
"It's the end of the month now, when will the third payment from Mr. Sen's studio arrive?"
Jiang Zeyu pursed his lips and said, "Are you thinking about this all day long?" β
"How is that possible?"
Li Chuan's face was slightly embarrassed, and he said, "I'm afraid that you are busy and forget, so I will remind you." β
"I haven't forgotten, don't worry."
Jiang Zeyu shook his head and said, "I already asked Huiji to go to the bank to make an appointment yesterday, and I can do it this afternoon, and I can call you tomorrow at the latest." β
"That's good."
A smile appeared on Li Chuan's face.
He is indeed in a bit of a hurry now.
In recent times, bitcoin has been rallying better and better, and it has now broken through $8,000.
Moreover, this wave of market is not over yet, no one knows when it will rise, and it may continue to rise.
In this case, he had to start as soon as possible.
The longer it drags on, the higher the cost of holding his position.
If the cost of holding a position is high to a certain extent, then his yield is not so ideal.
This is unacceptable to him.
He is now counting on bitcoin to make a fortune, and if he can't make a fortune, he wants to find a stone to hit and die.
