Chapter 4 Increasing Costs
Jiang Nian waved his hand to stop Wu Xuejun's idea of wanting to fight with him, and said righteously:
"Director Wu, please understand.
I invested in skincare products to learn from Ms. Jin and make products that can fill the gap in the domestic market and allow female consumers to truly reap the benefits, rather than deceiving and making people spend money in vain.
Since my product is mainly nicotinamide, the 3 percent is too insincere, so add 10 percent to me!
And you can't add colorants, you can't add flavors, oh, and the packaging is not allowed to be too delicate.
We want to put every penny of investment in functionality, and that's what consumers want us to do! ”
Wu Xuejun was dumbfounded, and was stunned for a moment.
Forget it without colorants, what skin care products don't add fragrance these days, you can talk about it?
Seeing that Wu Xuejun looked confused and wanted to justify, Jiang Nian hurriedly coughed dryly, and said:
"Director Wu, this is a test for your factory."
"Huh?"
"There are so many daily chemical plants in Pengcheng and Yangcheng, why should we choose your home?
To put it bluntly, what we value is not short-term benefits, but long-term markets.
We will face the impact of major domestic and international cosmeceutical brands, so we require our partners to study the user tonality and market trends, and make products that are in line with the market and can satisfy users.
With the progress of the times, people will pay more and more attention to the efficacy and ingredients of products, we must abandon the previous thinking, walk in front of the times, this is for the long-term development of ah. ”
"If you make a product that satisfies us this time, we will definitely increase investment and reach a strategic cooperation agreement with your factory, and we may be a family in the future!"
Jiang Nian has seen countless entrepreneurs who are good at painting cakes in his later generations, and now he is even more handy at drawing.
She knew that Wu Xuejun's small factory must be eager to find investment now, and definitely hoped to reach a long-term cooperation with her family in the future, even if the composition design was difficult this time, he would try his best.
Well, as soon as he starts the machine, the investment is in place immediately.
He was happy, his parents were happy, and I was happy to lose it in the end.
Isn't this the perfect closed loop?
Sure enough, Wu Xuejun was overjoyed when he heard this, and said excitedly:
"Okay, since Mr. Jiang said so, then I will do my best, just follow Mr. Jiang's meaning!
By the way, I don't know how much the final product Xiao Jiang is going to sell for a bottle? ”
"What about Director Wu's opinion?"
"Well, I think plus the rebate for the supermarket...... You see, a 30ml product sells for about 10 yuan, how about it? ”
"Ten bucks?" Jiang Nian was taken aback.
"Yes, if it's too expensive, we can still discuss!" Wu Xuejun was busy.
"How can you do it for ten dollars a bottle? No, the gel in Ms. Jin's store sells more than 100 bottles of gel, and our products can't be less than 100 per bottle! ”
Wu Xuejun: (꒪Д꒪)ノ
One, one hundred and one bottles!
At the beginning of this year, the wages of skilled workers in Pengcheng just broke 1,000, the wages of most skilled workers in the north were only about 300, the high-end series of shampoo SX on the market sold for 19 yuan a bottle, and most of the domestic skin care products sold for about 10 yuan.
The price of 100 has exceeded the spending power of most people, and the rich people in Pengcheng can accept it, so why don't people who pay 100 yuan to buy a small bottle of skin care products go directly to the counter of a bigger brand?
Today, since the father and daughter entered the door, Wu Xuejun felt that his understanding had been constantly refreshed.
If Xiao Jiang is not crazy, it is that I have learned from dogs in so many years of business!
Can this thing make money?
I drank it all if I could make money!
Jiang Nian also knew that this market portrait could be said to be painted to an unbounded place, and she didn't believe that anyone would buy it at this price anyway.
Well, small factory, stimulating, slow effect, expensive price, and average packaging, I basically stepped on all the pits that I could step on.
Seeing Wu Xuejun's expression of eating flies, she hooked her fingers and motioned for Wu Xuejun to take a step to speak.
"Director Wu, do you think this price is not appropriate?"
"Yes, yes. One hundred and one bottles...... It's too expensive, to be honest, ten dollars a bottle, I, I'm waiting for you to bargain a little! ”
One gram of niacinamide is only 8 cents, and the cost of niacinamide in 30 ml of essence is no more than 3 cents.
No matter how good other accessories, glass bottles, and packaging are, no matter how large the labor, electricity, and loss in the middle links, the cost of five yuan for a bottle is already very unrealistic.
To whom are one hundred and one bottles sold? How could anyone buy such a thing?
"It doesn't matter, I've got the production cost out, you can rest assured that you can increase the cost."
Jiang Nian knew that Jiang Xinsheng's budget was one million, and she had to find a way to lose as much as possible in order to make her parents feel pain.
If they lose more than 100,000 yuan, they will be depressed for a few days at most, and then they will have to be fooled by scammers.
It was the first time in his life that Wu Xuejun had encountered someone who took the initiative to ask for an increase in costs, and he didn't know what the logic of this matter was, so he could only nod silently and listen.
Jiang Nian broke his white fingers and analyzed:
"You see, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival a few days ago, many workers have not yet recovered from the joy of family gatherings, and it is about to be the National Day, and our coming at this time will definitely affect everyone's rest.
In this way, according to the standard of 100 per person, I will reissue Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day gifts to all employees in the factory.
Hey, don't give gifts, just find the golden red envelope and let everyone buy something by themselves, which is very reasonable. ”
"All, all the factory workers? We, there are 100 people in our factory! Wu Xuejun said in surprise.
"Ah, only a hundred? A hundred people is a hundred, so let's do it according to this requirement. ”
Jiang Nian calculated a little, the double festival red envelope is 200 per person, and the 100 talents are only 20,000, which is still too far from the goal of one million.
She gritted her teeth again:
"In this way, this is the first time we have worked together, and I don't know if the workers in your factory can strictly abide by the production hygiene standards.
In this way, I made two sets of work clothes with the best materials for each of the workers in your factory, and the masks used were all changed from cotton yarn to non-woven fabric, which is very reasonable, right?
In addition to this, according to international practice, we have to open up additional rest areas and entertainment areas for workers during production, so as to ensure that workers have no less than one hour of rest time each time they work, which is very reasonable, right?
Of course, the tables, chairs, benches, pastries and tea in the lounge are also provided by me, and I will provide them all at that time.
Workers must also want to watch TV to learn about national events during their meal time, and I pay for everyone to buy a TV, which is also very reasonable, right? ”
"Our father and daughter have disgusted you for a long time, and just now my dad was disrespectful to the old formulator, and we couldn't help it.
According to international practice, I will compensate you for mental damage and production line suspension loss of 10,000 yuan per person, which is very reasonable, right? ”
Wu Xuejun no longer knew if Jiang Nian was joking, so he could only nod his head and say yes constantly, and said with a wry smile:
"I'm lonely and unheard, and I don't know what Xiao Jiang always said about international practice is ......"
"Geneva Conventions!" Jiang Nian said confidently, "The standard of our workers can't be lower than the standard of prisoners of war, right?" ”
Wu Xuejun: ......
In this way, the cost is rising, and this is all spent on the employees, at least they can give themselves a good name.
Calculate that this time if you don't talk about it, you will have to pay two or three hundred thousand.
Jiang Nian was in a good mood, she grabbed Jiang Xinsheng's arm and smiled sweetly:
"If there is no problem, everything will be entrusted to the director of the martial arts."
Wu Xuejun looked dazed, but the philistine's face finally squeezed out a trace of perseverance, gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, I will definitely take this as a test given to me by Mr. Xiao Jiang, and make a sample as soon as possible, so as not to disappoint Mr. Xiao Jiang!"
Jiang Xinsheng didn't know anything about the daily chemical industry, and when he saw that his daughter was chatting with Wu Xuejun very speculatively, and he also had the upper hand, suppressing this entrepreneur who had been immersed in the daily chemical industry for a long time, he was very happy in his heart, and he began to follow the pie drawn by his daughter to prepare to build a huge beauty empire.
On the way back, he said with great interest:
"I think this factory is good, and if this cooperation results well, I will consider taking the factory down.
Please ask the master for advice, and if you invest one or two million in the future, you will definitely make a fortune. ”
Not again......
Jiang Nian was very helpless.
The reason why my parents lost all their net worth in their previous lives was that they invested money indiscriminately in industries they didn't understand, and they also believed in charlatans.
I hope that this time I can pay in time, so that they can sober up as soon as possible, and don't throw all their net worth into it again.
"Dad, why are you suddenly so interested in beauty?"
"I'm not interested, and I don't think this business is more profitable than engaging in finance, but who makes my daughter like it? Who made Jiang Xinsheng have a daughter? ”
Jiang Nian's clear eyes were suddenly dyed with a layer of splash, she remembered that in her previous life, she was addicted to enjoyment and loved luxury cars, and her parents seemed to be planted on the liar's car-making PPT in the end.
She was in a trance, so she quickly turned on the car radio, just in time to hear a new song playing in it at the beginning of this year.
The lady sang in an affectionate voice:
"You will never understand my sorrow, like a dark ...... who does not understand the day and night"
-------------------------------------
Small Theatre Hours:
Jiang Nian: The whitening effect of niacinamide is limited to 5%, and if you pursue whitening, try not to choose products with a concentration of more than 5%.
Wu Xuejun: Hey, what is Mr. Jiang's intention in developing this product? It's really terrifying!
