Chapter 208: Let's Make a Gamble (Part 1)
Xu Luo and Gao Zhengtao walked into the finished product storage warehouse as they spoke.
A group of workers are using a cart to carry a full box of instant noodles.
Xuluo looked at the empty warehouse, and was stunned: "What about the instant noodles produced?"
You must know that the maximum daily output of the two instant noodle production lines is 10 tons, which adds up to 20 tons and 200,000 packs a day.
It has been a month since the instant noodle factory started trial production in late October and officially started production in November, so how could the warehouse be so empty?
Gao Zhengtao pointed outside and explained: "It's all put on the temporary board house warehouse outside, fortunately, we have more than 200 acres, and there is still a lot of vacant land, otherwise it won't fit at all." But even then, we need to go back to the warehouse, or we won't be able to pile up next month."
"Where is there a warehouse nearby?" Xuluo asked.
"Isn't that just right?" Gao Zhengtao said with a smile: "Eying Studio and Southwest University of Finance and Economics both have X-defense projects, and we can store things by packing them up, we just need to apply for it and give some money."
The X defense project is a place where ordinary people take refuge from aircraft bombing and artillery shells during war.
The Eying Factory built a place that could accommodate 3,000 people, and Xu Luo and a group of friends often went there to play when they were children.
It's just that in the era of peace, these X-defense projects have not been used for many years, and now it's good to reuse them in an idle place.
"But it's not a long-term solution." Xuluo said, "Where is the land nearby? We'll officially lease it down to repair the warehouse, and we'll see if we can expand the factory!"
Gao Zhengtao didn't answer, but muttered, "Mr. Xu, in fact, if you don't talk about it, I also want to talk to you...... Why don't we go to the office and say?"
"Please!"
Xuluo raised his hand.
The two went to the next office.
The office of the factory here is very simple, that is, there are more than a dozen rooms built close to the warehouse, there are security rest rooms, office staff, financial studios, and Gao Zhengtao's factory director's room is about 20 square meters.
Xu Luo also heard from his aunt that when they had a meeting on weekdays, it was either on the empty dam or in the warehouse, which was quite hard and simple.
Gao Zhengtao made a cup of tea for Xuluo, sat on a wooden chair with him, and then said, "Mr. Xu, how much do you think our instant noodles can sell? Or what are the prospects for the future?"
The young man didn't think about it and said, "Uncle Gao, it's hard to talk about it now, but as everyone gets richer and richer, the sales of instant noodles will get higher and higher. I guess the market will expand to at least 10 packs per person a year!"
"Ten packs?"
Gao Zhengtao smiled bitterly in surprise: "I chatted with these Japanese benzene experts, and I also heard that the average Japanese benzene person is about 50 packs per year. But you can't calculate according to the consumption level of the Japanese people, our economy and income are more than ten times worse than theirs, right?"
Xuluo nodded, "So I'm talking about later."
Gao Zhengtao said: "I haven't been to foreign countries to investigate, but I have done a survey on our domestic instant noodle market, and the best-selling Huafeng noodles are 40 million packs a year, and the second Yimin No. 4 Factory is 20 million packs, but the price is cheap, only 6 cents or 8 cents.
According to the ex-factory price of 9 cents and the terminal price of more than 1.2 yuan, even if our taste is very good and much better than Huafeng noodles, it will definitely not sell more than them, right?
Now we are producing 200,000 bales a day, and more than 70 million bales a year, which is very, very saturated, and I don't think there is any need for saturated production, as long as it reaches six percent."
Xuluo shook his hand and smiled, "Uncle Gao, didn't my aunt tell you that we have a TV series similar to "The Story of the Editorial Department" to be broadcast on Huaxia TV? How effective is that advertisement, you should know from the tourist congestion in Ansan this summer, right?
Besides, we were still spending money on advertisements on Huaxia TV at that time, which is equivalent to 1.2 billion people watching it once a day
The footage of Master Xu's braised beef noodles, even if only one-tenth of people buy one pack a year, that's 120 million packs, do you say so?"
Gao Zhengtao disagreed: "Mr. Xu, your estimate is not supported by any data, we can't put the fate of the entire factory on your speculation, this is irresponsible to the factory.
Now we have more than 5 million packs of instant noodles in stock, and if we continue to produce them at full capacity, we will have nearly 10 million packs by the Spring Festival, which is already the third largest sales volume in the country.
If we don't reduce the number of production, I suggest that we can carry out skills training and line maintenance during the Spring Festival, and if the sales are good by then, it is not too late for us to increase sales immediately."
Xuluo frowned.
Gao Zhengtao only talked to him about the production volume now, and did not answer the question of expanding the plant and production line that he just said.
In fact, the meaning is very clear.
Gao Zhengtao has already persuaded Xuluo to produce less, where will he agree to Xuluo's further expansion?
But Xuluo can't tell Gao Zhengtao that as long as it appears in my future memory, it will be Wang Bang!
If Chef Braised Beef Noodles only sells tens of millions of packs a year, I am not qualified to be deeply remembered by me, and I will not even forget the advertisement.
At least it's at the level of a billion packs a year!
I'm convinced!
"So be it!"
Unable to convince the front-line supervisor, Xuluo could only take a step back: "From now on, until the 28th of the Lunar New Year, we will go all out to produce ...... Uncle Gao, listen to me, let's accumulate 10 million packs!
If I make a mistake in judgment and the advertising effect is not good, then the 10 million packs will be sold slowly, and the operating rate of the production line will be done according to what you say, how about it?"
Gao Zhengtao thought about it and nodded helplessly: "Mr. Xu, you are ...... It's too risky!"
"Not at all." Xuluo spread his hands and smiled, "Of course, your caution is also very important. I respect your judgment and opinion, but I don't want you to be right."
Gao Zhengtao smiled dumbly, "I don't want me to be right either! But the facts and the market tell me that you are too optimistic! I've seen too many people who are blindly optimistic and end up in a complete defeat!"
Xuluo suddenly remembered his contract, "Uncle Gao, why don't we make a bet!"
"I don't like to gamble." Gao Zhengtao shook his hand and resolutely refused.
"I would say, in terms of sales. If we can't sell 10 million packs of instant noodles during the Spring Festival in February, I'll give you the latest Santana 2000." Xuluo said, "If I win, how about you sign an extra three-year contract?"
Gao Zhengtao laughed and said, "Don't say it's 10 million packs, even if 5 million packs are sold, I'm willing to continue working in the instant noodle factory!" …… But if I win, forget it Santana, I'll let you renew your contract with a Japanese benzene technical expert for 3 months, and it will cost a lot of money, so let's offset this!"
Xuluo smiled and nodded, "Then let's talk about it first!"
"Good!"
Gao Zhengtao looked at Xuluo's young face and said with emotion: "Mr. Xu, I will rely on the old man to say a few words. I know you're a genius, but genius isn't omnipotent, so you'll have to be vigilant in the future! In this day and age, it's easy to succeed and even easier to fail."
"I remember, thank you, Uncle Gao!"
Xuluo said it very politely.
Gao Zhengtao's slightly old-fashioned tone did not arouse the disgust of the teenager.
The current older generation likes to preach young people, and it is not malicious.
But Gao Zhengtao didn't know that Xuluo was much more cautious than he imagined.
It's not something in the memory of the future, and Xuluo won't touch it at all!
……
I had lunch with Gao Zhengtao and a group of middle-level people, and everyone talked about their suggestions and opinions on the factory, and Xuluo also silently remembered it in his heart.
Now there are still few people in the instant noodle factory, which is relatively simple, and everyone is generally full of expectations and hopes for convenience
The noodle factory is an instant hit, so that they can have a better harvest.
returned to the Eying Factory, and Xu Luo went to her aunt's house first, wanting to tell her about the changes in the factory.
As a result, Shen Qing took a nap, and she now has to sleep three or four times a day, basically with a little irregular work and rest.
So Xuluo can only go home.
At this time, my parents were still at work, and Xu Luo, who had nothing to do, began to pick up the books that he didn't have time to open yesterday.
These books are the best-selling martial arts books in Xiangjiang that Wang Jing helped buy.
Because of the number of episodes, there are more than 100 copies scattered around.
In the process of sorting out, Xuluo made a difference, and the most popular rising star in these years - Wen Rui'an's.
For example, there are "Blood River Car", "Shenzhou Wonder Man", "Who is the Hero" and so on.
This Wen Rui An Xuluo has long heard that he is the most popular martial artist today, because the books are so popular, so some people added him to Jin Gu Liang and called him "Jin Gu Liang Wen".
Obviously, this is a bit of a promotion of Wen Rui'an, because the first three are all a generation of grandmasters, and he joined in forcefully, so he is a grade higher than other martial artists for no reason.
Especially when Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng have been closed, and Gu Long Daxia has already driven to the west, he is the first person in martial arts!
Of course, many people are not convinced by Wen Rui'an, thinking that he has only learned the weirdness of Gu Long, but he has not learned Gu Long's pride, and he is not even as good as half of Gu Long.
Especially Gu Long's friend Ni Frame, who criticized Xuluo some time ago, wrote more than a dozen articles in the newspaper, denouncing Wen Rui'an's shamelessness and lack of proportion.
From this, it can be concluded that Ni Frame is really a troll, and he is very persistent.
In addition to Wen Rui'an, a writer named Huang Ying in Xiangjiang wrote the "Hero Shen Shengyi" series specifically modeled Gu Long, but won praise from many people.
Here we have to talk about Ni Box again.
Ni Frame praised Huang Ying, thinking that he wrote very similarly, the only deficiency is that there is no sky-high arrogance in Gu Long, if it is honed over time, he may be able to get Gu Long's style and bones of seven or eight points.
However, Huang Ying is also a person who is not doing his job, after he became famous, he followed to do TV series, and in the past two years, he has been making movies in the Xiangjiang environment, and he is very busy, and there are no new excellent works to launch.
There are also a lot of martial artists on the treasure island, and the most popular one in recent years should be Liu Yanyang, who is known for his iron and blood, which is very different from the martial arts of the treasure island with some rouge atmosphere.
As for the martial arts with rouge breath, it mainly refers to the rise of Wo Longsheng.
This writer's writing is soft, and you may find it beautiful, but it also has a bit of an ordinary narrative vernacular.
I can't find the martial arts atmosphere of Baodao created by Gu Long back then, and even made many readers of Baodao give up watching martial arts and start chasing Japanese comics.
Huang Ying, Liu Zhanyang and Wo Longsheng, there are also all of them.
Wang Fatzi is not a random purchase, he also has to listen to the real boutique martial arts.
Now Xuluo hopes to find fragments from these martial arts that can inspire his future memories.
Anyway, you give me an original martial arts drama by the future author, and then I'll push it back and write it!
Even if it's not so good, it's a good deal for Jin Yong, and by the way, it can train readers to support this adapted martial arts drama in the future!
