Chapter 156 Before the test run of the water plant

Now that we have a water source, we can start work.

Before I started working, I looked at the entire production line from start to finish. When I saw the plastic water bottle, I suddenly had an idea.

"Director Tan, can you change the appearance and volume of this plastic bottle, change the 500 ml bottle to 250 ml, and change the round bottle to a square bottle."

Tan Chong didn't seem to understand what I meant.

"Mr. Chen, why do you want to change the type of packaging? The general ones on the market are round bottles, round bottles can be made relatively thin, save raw materials, 500 ml is general-purpose, 250 ml bottled water, there are not many on the market! ”

He didn't answer my question directly, but explained to me why he used the current packaging.

"Tell me first, can our existing technology be changed according to my requirements?"

"Yes."

Tan Chong is very sure.

"You only need to go to the mold factory to reprocess a few sets of molds, and it may take three to five days."

I thought for a moment, "Okay, first design the style of the bottle according to my requirements, and send the drawings to the mold factory." During this period, we carried out trial production and used up the 500ml plastic bottles that have been processed into finished products, just in the previous simple packaging form. ”

Tan Chong immediately organized people to implement it.

I'm scheduled to start testing tomorrow morning at 9 a.m.

Called Bai Luoxue, went straight to the Loess County carton factory, and told her my thoughts on the way.

"I'm going to change the outer packaging of bottled mineral water, which is to discard the original form of plastic film packaging and change it to a cardboard box, a small package of 250 milliliters, a box of 20 bottles."

"It's going to increase the cost of the product."

Bai Luoxue didn't approve, and she complained that I was a little arbitrary. Why did you change your mind just before the start of work?

I had to be patient with the explanation.

"Our Tianzhu brand mineral water is different from the Diquan brand mineral water, the quality is not at a grade at all, the positioning of the customer target is high-end customers, from the packaging to be more exquisite, increase the cost is inevitable. Not only did I have to reduce the size of the water bottles, but I also had to increase the selling price. Now the retail price of 500 ml of water on the market is one dollar, and the retail price of our water is set at two yuan. Is the proportion of the increased packaging cost more than before, or less? ”

Of course, Bai Luoxue will count, but she is still a little worried.

"Water is so expensive, will no one buy it?"

"You've drunk this water before, would you like to drink a second bottle?"

As soon as I reminded her, she remembered.

"Of course."

When you want to drink a second bottle, do you care if it's a dollar more expensive? ”

She smiled.

"You're really a business ghost, and you have calculated the psychology of customers."

Convincing her, I actually had a sense of victorious pleasure, or in a way, the support of Bai Luoxue. She would find fault with my decision, find something inappropriate, help me correct it, or figure out the reason for it, so that I would not take a detour.

I feel blessed and happy to have such a person by my side.

When I went to the carton factory, my purpose was to order the carton for packing mineral water, and supply it for a long time according to the size requirements I proposed. The name and logo of Tianquan Mineral Water Factory are printed on the carton, marking that the license will be awarded tomorrow.

Seeing the big deal, the owner of the carton factory was very welcome, much more enthusiastic than when I came to order 1,000 fruit boxes a few days ago, and complained that the 1,000 cartons did not make any money at all.

I wasn't fooled by him, he definitely wouldn't do it if he didn't make money, he just made more and earned less.

When Yin signed an agreement, it was guaranteed that the finished product would be transported to Tianquan Mineral Water Factory after 5 days, and the production could not be delayed.

The owner of the carton factory said that it could be shipped in three days. I still reminded him that the design of the outer layer of the carton was sent to my mailbox, and I agreed to start the official printing after that.

The owner reassured me that he has a professional talent here to design the carton pattern, and this simple carton pattern is not a problem. Remind me, I'm not very happy with the fruit carton pattern.

Leaving the carton factory, Bai Luoxue went to the green food wholesale station to inspect the work. I went back to the small building on the other side of the cannery.

No matter how busy I am, my stock business must not be delayed, and I can enter the space to check the stock market.

In order not to attract too much attention from the stock side, I have never purchased a large amount of each stock that I value, at most one or two million.

If I buy a single stock with 100 million dollars, I am worried that it will cause the actual trend of this stock, if it changes, the result I predicted in advance in the space will be fine if it rises, and I will lose a lot if it falls.

Because of this worry, I buy and sell each stock in small amounts, and even if it has a small impact, it will not be too big, and in the end it will not change its trend.

Even so, the experts at the exchange called me regularly. When I found out it was the same person, I even joked with them.

Said that I was just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, and I was right.

The other party saw that I had no intention of cooperating with him and gave up, and I never called again, but I felt that my ears were clean.

Now the cultivated area of the island has exceeded 4,000 acres, and the harvesting and sowing of wheat and corn is not only carried out during the day, but also at night, otherwise the limited number of machines would not be able to keep busy.

For Ruxue, it doesn't matter, it's just remote control. She looked at the computer monitor from time to time, and there was no alarm indicating that everything was normal. When leaving the monitor, she and Rufeng's clone are in charge of operation and management, which can have the same effect, and there is never a single mistake.

The 3,000-square-meter warehouse is a bit small. Wheat straw can be stacked outside the warehouse, green fodder must be put into storage, if it is exposed to the sun during the day, cattle farms and sheep farmers do not like to want.

The key is that the wheat and corn are temporarily stored in the warehouse, which is full and there is no place to store green fodder.

It had never rained in the space, heavy rain and light rain, which made me feel at ease, corn and wheat didn't have to be put in the warehouse, so why not put it in the open air? Once exposed to the sun, you can also continue to dry to prevent mold.

To this end, I asked Ruyu to lead Zhao Mengfei and others to level a large area of land, which was used to stack corn and wheat on the spot. This frees up the warehouse for the storage of green fodder.

Even so, the green fodder still can't be put in the warehouse.

Producing too much is now also an annoyance. I don't even want to continue to expand the planting area, my ability is really limited, there are too many to manage.

The so-called can't be managed, it's not the affairs in the space, I basically don't need to worry about it in the space, there are these robots like the wind, and Zhao Mengfei, the work is all done by them. I can't care about transporting it out of space.
