Chapter 221: Tomato Sauce
Simon frowned unhappily: "Miss Xiao, this condition is too harsh." β
Ling Mei said: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, try our tomato sauce first." β
Simon flattened his mouth. I regret my trip today: let the Chinese figure out their rush to negotiate a contract.
"Okay, let's taste it."
"Three bottles of ketchup, representing three grades." Ling Mei explained, "Premium, Advanced, Normal. The high-grade tomato sauce is made with the top tomatoes produced in Yunlai Village, Xianyun Mountain. The tomatoes of the high-grade tomato sauce are grown in five other villages in Xianyun Mountain. Ordinary tomato sauce is made from tomatoes from seeds we have cultivated in villages and towns outside Xianyun Mountain. β
Simon decided to taste the ketchup from low to high.
He calculated quickly: if you import ketchup from China, how low will the purchase price have to be to make money?
Before he could figure out a reserve price, he involuntarily stuffed two spoonfuls of tomato sauce into his mouth.
Hey. It tastes so good.
The tomato sauce is moderately sweet and sour, and it is even better than the tomato sauce in his own country.
Moreover, this is still an ordinary level - he sat up straight, and his expression became serious.
The texture of the high-quality ketchup is magically similar to the strawberry jam, making people feel as fresh and energetic as if they had swallowed fresh fruit.
Simon's eyes glowed.
The sweet and sour saturation of the premium ketchup is at its peak, and what distinguishes it from the other two tomato sauces is its fresh and sweet aftertaste. It was a wonderful, indescribably sweet return.
Simon's whole body is refreshed.
Ling Mei asked with a smile: "Do you still think this business is at a loss?" β
Simon said slyly, "I still want to hear your price." β
Ling Mei said confidently: "Ordinary tomato sauce, 2.5 yuan 500 grams." Premium tomato sauce, 5 yuan 500 grams. Premium ketchupβ"
Simon's eyes widened and his fists clenched.
"Premium tomato sauce 7.5 yuan 500 grams."
Simon wanted to laugh, but held back.
There is a villain in his heart who is laughing wildly at the crazy fork waist: there is a lot to earn, and there is a lot of money!
"Althoughβ"
"No counteroffer." Ling Mei interrupted him, "But I promise that the price of our products will not increase for three years." β
Simon couldn't sit still. And what about three years from now?
"In three years' time, our standard of living and material standards will definitely improve. Costs such as workers' wages will certainly rise. β
Ling Mei smiled sweetly and her voice was crisp, but Simon pulled her tie when she heard it: she concluded that in three years, labor costs would increase, that is, she was 100% confident that her country would get better and better.
He is also confident that even if the money rises slightly, the people of his country who have been eating Xianyun tomato sauce for three years will not be stingy with that little penny.
"Your yield?"
Yield is a real problem.
As far as the two non-professional production lines and scale of the Yutu Candy Factory are concerned, it is indeed difficult to put them into production in large quantities.
Secretary Zhao took the opportunity to say at this time: "Output is not a problem. Our candy factory cooperated with Yunlai Village to add two more production lines. We will be able to meet your needs. β
Ling Mei smiled secretly, showing a little surprise and surprise on her face, frowned again to express her displeasure, and then endured the appearance of not having a seizure in front of outsiders, without admitting or denying it. said to Simon quietly: "Based on the 100,000 bottles of 50,000 catties of strawberry jam you bought last yearβ"
"No, no, no." Simon shook his head repeatedly, "We want to increase imports this year. β
Ling Mei raised her eyebrows: "How much do you want?" β
"Two hundred thousand bottles." Simon wanted to swallow all the strawberry jam in one mouthful.
Ling Mei calculated: "200,000 bottles of strawberry jam need to be accompanied by at least 300,000 bottles of ketchup." Distribute the ranks according to the ratio of 105,000, 100,000, and 50,000β"
Simon frowned: "Wait. How is it only 300,000 bottles? Tomato sauce is a necessity for our lives. Burger hot dog pizza is available everywhere! You can give us at least 600,000 bottles. It's distributed in a ratio of three to two to one! β
Ling Mei looked at him speechlessly: Forgot the reluctance when I heard that I was going to distribute the goods just now?
The two leaders of the candy factory were stunned, and their hearts were mixed with ecstasy and regret: to know that ketchup is so easy to sell, they should have listened to Zhuo Lin's words and bought a new production line!
Suddenly, a new business flashed through Simon's mind.
Such a good ketchup, he should make good use of it!
"Miss Xiao. I want exclusive rights to Top Extreme Ketchup. β
Ling Mei's eyes flashed slightly: "Exclusive agencyββ"
What's Simon's idea?
As he said, ketchup is a must-have FMCG for European and American families. The output of the top tomato sauce is not high, the price is expensive, and the way to maximize the benefits after his monopoly is - open a restaurant?!
Simon's family business has several restaurants.
Among them is a snack chain. It's the kind of fried chicken snack bar that opens on a busy street corner. Dealing in a variety of American food. Sales have been declining in recent years, and two branches have been closed. Simon imagined that if he used Xiao Lingmei's top-of-the-line ketchup to make food instead-
The only problem was that he had to make sure that the ketchup he used in his store was not available to other competing teams.
Ling Mei took the opportunity to open his mouth: "If you insist on the exclusive agency, we need to renegotiate the price." β
Simon grinded his teeth: "You Chinese like to beg for words. 8 with the same hair, 8 yuan a catty, how about it? β
It only rose by five cents...... Mei was not very satisfied.
"It's exclusive." Ling Mei reminded him, "If it is used in restaurants instead of supermarkets, I think it can support a chain brand of fast food restaurants." β
Simon shouted in his heart: This girl is simply a little devil who can see through people's hearts!
He took a breath: "You make an offer." β
Ling Mei Zhanyan chuckled: "Chinese like to please, 8.8 yuan a catty, everyone gets rich together." β
Simon lowered his eyes and hesitated.
The taste of Amelica's best handmade tomato sauce in China is only on par with China's high-end tomato sauce. However, the price has doubled! In comparison, the price of the top ketchup is even cheaper!
β8.8!β He resolutely stretched out his hand to Ling Mei. "Deal."
Secretary Kang and the others did not dare to come out. Seeing that the business was negotiated, they applauded in unison.
Someone roughly calculated, this business has a turnover of at least 6 million!
"Ling Mei." Secretary Kang said kindly, "Don't sign the contract for the time being, let's officially close the deal at the Canton Fair." It can be regarded as adding some achievements to our city. β
Simon listened to the translation and immediately said, "Let's initialize a letter of intent first." Guarantee that both parties will not go back and raise the price. β
Everyone looked at each other and smiled: This is because they are afraid that the business will be too good at the Canton Fair, which will make Mei's price increase.
Sticking closely at the signing of the letter of intent, Simon was secretly proud: the Chinese language is good, and the first strike is strong and then the first attack suffers. This time, Eisen's kid had to go home empty-handed.
Seeing Simon away, the two leaders of the Jade Rabbit Candy Factory turned back to Yunlai Village.
Look at the rebirth of eighty, the mountains have spirits, and I have fields.
