Chapter 324: Producing Wine, Stowaways
"Huh? A co-branded limited product? What do you mean?"
Olive was a little puzzled.
"It's a product that is produced in limited quantities by collaboration with different brands. For example, your company's lipstick can be made in the shape of a Dawn steam car - well, I don't know if it's good or not, but that's what it means. Then make a limited edition, say only sell 1,000 copies, and then it's gone......
Luo Yin briefly explained to Olive Live.
Olive listened, her eyes lit up.
"That's a good idea!"
Although these things that Luo Yin said had never appeared before, her vision was here, and she quickly thought of the various benefits that could be derived from these products.
The value of the product itself is secondary, because it is limited, and even if the price is high, the overall profit has an upper limit. But in this way, the reputation of the product or company will be greatly improved.
After all, after this thing comes out, there will definitely be a lot of people to discuss, and if you discuss it a lot, the reputation of the company and the product will naturally go up, so that you can drive other products of the company. That's where the real money comes in!
Of course, if the quality of these co-branded products is really good, and the profit is high, you can also make a small profit.
Olive then asked:
"Specifically, what do you think is the best co-branded product?"
Luo Yin thought for a while and replied:
"It depends on what products you have, and my advice is to use something that will last a long time. For example, lipstick, although the lipstick will run out, the shell of the lipstick will not, and the shell can be kept as a souvenir. Another example is perfume, perfume can be used up, but the bottle of perfume can be preserved......
Luo Yin said, the brighter Olive 's eyes became.
"That's it!"
Olive clenched her fists excitedly.
She had several sample templates in her head in an instant, but there were still some details......
Olive and Luo Yin discussed it for a long time, and then left satisfied.
She said that she would urge the factory to hurry up production now, and strive to make samples for Luo Yin to see before the finals began, and if Luo Yin felt that there was no problem, it could be mass-produced.
As for why it should be sold before the finals and not after the finals...... That's because Luo Yin said that the product produced now is called "Dawn Racing Team Top Ten Limited Commemorative Model". After the finals, the commemorative model for the corresponding ranking will be produced.
Since you want to harvest a wave of leeks from fans, you naturally have to make a heavy cut. And to be honest, it is estimated that no fans will think that this is a pit, they will only think that Yamei is too picky, and it is even limited?
In terms of profit sharing, Olive generously said that she gave Luo Yin half of the profits for these co-branded products.
Although the production cost is all from her Yamei company, Luo Yin's inspiration is something she didn't expect, and this inspiration alone is worth half of the profit.
Luo Yin naturally agreed, although he felt that he couldn't make much money just from these limited products, but he didn't dislike the lack of money.
After sending Olive away, Luo Yin suddenly felt that he could also make some limited products?
Otherwise, wouldn't the reputation he helped Dawn Company break out would be wasted!
Luo Yin's initial plan was to let the Dawn team show his face in the Sky Wolf Cup and make some reputation, and then he would do business in the Sky Wolf Empire as the owner of the Dawn Chen team. In this way, the starting point will be higher than the average person, which can save a lot of trouble. ….
But what Luo Yin didn't expect was that after coming to the Sky Wolf Empire, Erin's family was very good to him. He took advantage of the Eller family's fox fake tiger power to get a lot of things done.
That day, the Wolf Cup was no longer as important in Luo Yin's heart as it was at the beginning. All arrangements for Dawn Company were also canceled by Luo Yin. After all, the competitiveness of the Dawn Company is definitely not as good as the Steam Car Company of the Sirius Empire, and there is no need for him to start from this aspect.
But what he didn't expect was that the Dawn team was getting better and better, and directly entered the finals.
Since the Chenxi Chen team is so powerful, it would be a bit of a waste for him not to help the Chenxi company do something......
"It's too late now, so I have to focus on training, but after the finals, I can get some limited cars......
Luo Yin thought for a moment, then went to call Misha and told her that she could now produce some limited steam cars.
The design of the car itself does not need to be bells and whistles, as long as it is different from the usual production car, the colors are richer, and most importantly, it must be made a conspicuous number! The number of each vehicle cannot be repeated.
Since it is a limited product, it is natural to prove that you are really limited, and numbering is a very good method.
After talking to Misha, Luo Yin called Olive again, and Olive hadn't gone back yet, it was the secretary who answered it.
Luo Yin talked about the numbering and asked Olive to engrave the product with the number. Just now he forgot to mention this detail.
After the call, it was already noon, and news came from the organizers of the Sirius Cup - the remaining nine group competitions were all over, and the top ten list of the Sirius Cup was released!
As one of the top ten, the Dawn team naturally got the list as soon as possible.
Seeing the names on the list, Luo Yin was not surprised.
In the top ten, in addition to his own Dawn convoy, the convoy of the Sky Wolf Empire occupies four seats, and the convoy of other great powers occupies five seats.
In other words, except for the Dawn convoy, which came from a small place, the rest of the convoys were convoys from other big countries.
This is very much in line with Luo Yin's guess, after all, the racing car still has a certain technical content, and a small place is not comparable to a big country like the Sky Wolf Empire. And the small places are relatively poor, not to mention racing, even ordinary cars may not be available, and the atmosphere of racing is even less......
However, what made Luo Yin a little strange was that he didn't see the team about the Frost Empire in the top ten.
It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, the Frost Empire is also one of the top countries in the Holy Dome Continent, so it is possible that it will not be able to break into the top ten?
Luo Yin curiously consulted the organizer, and the result surprised Luo Yin. The staff said that this time, there was no team from the Frost Empire to sign up. So it's normal that there isn't a Frost Empire in the top ten.
Is there a contradiction between the two countries?
Luo Yin hurriedly asked Lucas, because it was related to some of his follow-up plans.
It turned out to be true.
Although the Frost Empire and the Sky Wolf Empire are far away, the distance does not mean that there will be no contradictions.
Due to some territorial contradictions, there are no teams in the Frost Empire to participate in this Sirius Cup race.
After determining that there was a contradiction between the two countries, Luo Yin suddenly felt very painful. ….
He originally planned to use the tiger skin of the Sky Wolf Empire to do business in the Frost Empire, if the two countries were not at peace, then the business would be difficult to do!
However, Lucas also told Luo Yin that the two countries have contradictions in some territories in the North Sea, and most of them cooperate economically.
If Luo Yin wants to use the reputation of the Sky Wolf Empire to do business in the Frost Empire, he doesn't have to worry too much, at most, he will be blacked out for profit, and he can still make money overall.
And if Luo Yin had acquaintances in the Frost Empire, it would be even better, and the hacked thing would not exist.
Hearing this, Luo Yin breathed a sigh of relief.
He is going to do vodka business in the Frost Empire, as long as he can do it, if he is really blackened, he will be blackened, if he is not wearing the skin of the Sky Wolf Empire, it may be blackened directly.
And speaking of acquaintances, he also happens to have an acquaintance, and it seems that he has to get in touch with him when he goes back.
Next.
The staff of the Sky Wolf Cup organizers came to the racing base, and they sent them a message about the final of the Sky Wolf Cup.
The final will take place in Yas, the capital of the Sirius Empire.
Yas City is in the central area of the Sirius Empire, and there is still some distance from Starfish City, so you have to go two days in advance.
The content of the race is a lap endurance race, in the largest racing circuit in the Sirius Empire. There are six hours of running, and after six hours, the winner is the one with the most laps. That's double the three-hour rumors that had been circulating before!
You can't change the car during the race, you can only repair it, but you can change the car
Hand.
It's not just a test of the number and quality of the team's drivers, it's also a test of the car's ability.
If the average car is driven so intensely for six hours, it is good if it is not scrapped. Not to mention that the painting style of the game has been distorted by Luo Yin, and now it is all violent racing.
After sending off the staff, Luo Yin set a training program for the team.
Since the final is an endurance race, the next training will naturally revolve around this aspect.
Luo Yin is not very worried about the endurance of his drivers, after all, he doesn't have many other things, but many drivers. Twenty riders, that's enough for six hours of racing.
Of course, don't worry about it, endurance training still can't be stopped, and the next training will be a bit tortured. But if you can get a big bonus, no amount of torture is worth it. Anyway, it wasn't Luo Yin who was tormented.
Luo Yin is more worried about the car, after all, he has to drive continuously and intensely for six hours, which is a big test for any car.
So Luo Yin called the three dwarves of Waters, and the development of the tank was not in a hurry, and the car was modified first.
Waters also frowned when he heard that he was going to drive intensely for six hours straight, and he felt that the Dawn team car would probably not last that long. Even the cars of other teams couldn't hold out for so long.
This is no longer a test of the car itself, but the ability of logistics maintenance support.
As long as the repair is good enough, it can be repaired when the car has a problem, or before it fails, and as long as it is repaired faster than it breaks, then it is fine.
Luo Yin felt that Waters had a point, and it was indeed a test for the entire racing team.
Besides, in just twenty days, it was impossible for the dwarves to design a better car. You can only work on the original car. While making the car stronger, the logistics team must keep up! Especially the maintenance team. ….
But when it comes to logistics maintenance, Luo Yin is not afraid.
Because he has watched a lot of races, but no team can pit faster than the Dawn team.
In any case, the car still needs to be rebuilt, and the drivers and logistics have to be trained urgently, and there can be no delay. There are only ten days left, so we have to hurry.
During training, Luo Yin suddenly received a call from Lai'an.
Lai'an is the general manager of the Tianhao Liquor Company that Luo Yin asked Erin to help acquire. After acquiring this liquor company, Luo Yin didn't care much. Because the company still has some unfinished lists, Luo Yin asked Lai'an to finish these lists first.
Now he called over, just to tell Luo Yin that the list was finished, and asked Luo Yin if he had any new instructions.
Naturally, the instructions were there, and after Luo Yin ended the call, he took the car to the Tianhao Liquor Factory.
"Boss!"
Lai'an respectfully handed over a document.
"Hmm."
Luo Yin took a general look, and the list worth 500,000 yuan earned a total of 50,000 yuan.
This amount of money is not enough for Luo Yin to stuff his teeth.
After Luo Yin read it, he casually threw the document to Lai'an, and then said:
"Next, your task is to expand the factory, we have only a few workers in such a large factory, it is too few, let's recruit another thousand people. Then we produce a new wine."
"Huh? Yes!"
Lai'an was slightly surprised, but quickly nodded again.
He also thought that Luo Yin would let him pull orders next, or Luo Yin would bring some orders himself, so that the company would make a profit first, and then expand when it had money.
But I didn't expect Luo Yin to directly expand his recruitment without any orders, and he was still producing a new wine!
If the new wine is not good, then the loss will be great!
Lai Andong hesitated, logically speaking, he shouldn't be able to say too much, just implement the boss's orders, but he was afraid that Luo Yin, the new boss, would not understand the industry situation.
If you really lose money, the boss must be right, who is wrong, obviously he is the general manager!
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Lai'an's frowning appearance, Luo Yin asked strangely.
"Boss, that's ......"
Lai'an carefully stated his concerns.
After Luo Yin heard this, he immediately laughed.
"Haha, you're right to be worried, it's good to dare to ask questions, well done! But our company doesn't have to speculate according to common sense. The first wine we produced is indeed a new wine in the Sky Wolf Empire, and I don't know if the sales can pass the test, because our target customers are not in the territory of the Sky Wolf Empire, but the Frost Empire! This wine is a bestseller in the Frost Empire, and I have personally tried it. So we expanded, and it wasn't a big problem to produce this wine."
After all, he is the general manager of his own company, and Luo Yin still has to explain it to him.
After listening to Luo Yin's explanation, Lai'an was surprised that this wine had been verified in the Frost Empire. But since Luo Yin is sure, then he has no problem.
And Lai'an also heard another meaning from Luo Yin's words - "the first wine"? Could there be any other wine?
If other sake is also this kind of "proven" liquor, then the company may have a good life in the future! ….
Lai'an didn't ask much sensibly, the boss couldn't inquire about things, and the boss would naturally say it when he wanted to.
Since Luo Yin has acquired this liquor company, it is naturally impossible to produce only one type of liquor.
In addition to vodka, red wine, beer, etc., can be produced.
However, Luo Yin does not plan to produce too much vodka here.
Because the artificial power of the Sky Wolf Empire is expensive, and it is far away from the Frost Empire, it is inconvenient to transport.
He didn't really want to sell the vodka produced by the Sirius Empire to the Frost Empire. Instead, he wanted to buy a company in the Sirius Empire and have this company produce vodka in cooperation with his liquor company in the United Kingdom of Stokato.
That is, he took advantage of the fame of the Sirius Empire Company, but the place of production was in the United Kingdom of Stokato, and the vodka that was sold back to the Frost Empire also departed directly from the warehouses of the United Kingdom of Stokato.
This will save a lot of money and time.
As for this Tianhao company, it just produces some red wine and beer that are more in line with the taste of the people of the Sky Wolf Empire.
Naturally, there is no need to talk to Lai'an about these things, he just knows it himself.
It's still easy to recruit people in Starfish City, which is a port city and one of the transportation hubs of the Sirius Empire, with a lot of people. This is a real big city, and many people come to Starfish City to work.
Lane secretly told Luo Yin that if you want to recruit workers, there are two people to choose from.
One is the aborigines of the Sirius Empire, or foreigners who have legally entered the Sirius Empire.
The salary of this kind of person is the market price, which is not high, but it is not low to say that it is really low. After all, Starfish City is a big city, and it is normal for labor to be more expensive than other cities.
Hiring this kind of person is generally not a problem.
The other is to recruit smugglers.
Starfish City is the water transportation hub of the Sirius Empire, and there are many foreigners smuggled into Starfish City.
There is no such thing as smuggling, and if you are caught on the spot, forget it, and if you are not caught, you will basically turn a blind eye. It belongs to the people, and the officials are not prosecuted. Moreover, there is a great deal of interest in this......
If you recruit these stowaways, the salary will be at most half of the market price, and generally one-fifth to one-third of the market price.
At this price, those smugglers are rushing to do it. After all, even giving even one-fifth of the market price is much higher than their own country's salary.
But if you recruit this kind of person, you have to have something to do with it. Because the recruitment of smugglers is a grey industry......
Luo Yin didn't expect that there were so many routines in the small recruitment.
But it is understandable, after all, when he was in the United Kingdom of Stokato, no one had ever smuggled over, and he had never experienced such a thing, because their country was one of the poorest countries there, and who would smuggle it without a long eye......
Luo Yin is not the kind of person who is greedy for small and cheap, on the contrary, he
He is a very loving person who does not see others suffering.
So Luo Yin asked Lai'an to recruit those stowaways.
The number of recruits has also increased from 1,000 to 2,000, and salaries are paid at one-fifth of the market price.
These stowaways are pitiful, they finally came all the way to the Sky Wolf Empire to earn money to feed the family, so Luo Yin can't help them. ….
As for only giving one-fifth of the market price, this is not Luo Yin's stinginess. After all, Luo Yin has really not been stingy in terms of paying wages.
The wages of these people should not be too high, at least not higher than the public perception, that is, half of the market price.
If they perform well, Luo Yin will slowly increase his salary, but at most it will rise to half of the market price. Give them one-fifth of the first one, leaving room for a wage increase later.
The reason for this is that these people are smugglers, and they are illegal immigrants.
If Luo Yinzhen gives them too high wages, not to mention other companies, even those local people are probably unwilling to know about it.
To put it simply, it is easy to be looked down upon.
What if those people are idle and report their company for hiring illegal immigrants every day?
Although Luo Yin is covered by the Eller family, the Eller family is the Eller family, he is him, and he can't always cause trouble to people.
The recruitment process was faster than Luo Yin imagined, and in just one day, Lai'an recruited 2,000 workers.
After Luo Yin got the news, he was a little worried, he recruited so many people so quickly, can the quality work?
He came to see it and was surprised to find that the quality of these workers was quite good.
Although some people don't even know a few big characters, they can do whatever you ask them to do, they listen to orders very much, and even their learning ability is not bad, as long as they are taught carefully, some simple things can be easily learned.
Seeing Luo Yin's surprised appearance, Lai An reported the situation in front of Luo Yin with a slight pride.
He told Luo Yin that he had been in Haixing City for so many years, and he may not have made any name for himself in his career, but he still had some basic connections. Being able to recruit these stowaways quickly is because his connections are working.
As for the high quality of these stowaways, Lai'an explained that Haixing City is a big city after all, with many people, and even the competition among smugglers is fierce, and it is difficult for ordinary smugglers to stay here for a long time.
Those who can stay are either new or capable.
It is impossible for those old oilers who eat and wait to die to stay in Starfish City, after all, Starfish City has high consumption, and if they can't find a job for a few days, they may face survival pressure.
Lai'an relied on his connections to explain that he didn't want newcomers to smuggle people, so he naturally found those old people with certain abilities.
In this group of people, some people don't look old, only in their twenties, but they came to Haixing City in their teens, have more than ten years of work experience, have done any job, and naturally have a strong ability to work and learn.
They are even very familiar with Starfish City, except for the fact that they have not been able to obtain legal status and have a slight difference in appearance, they are even more local than locals.
Lai'an also said that Luo Yin's recruitment of these people is actually more cost-effective than recruiting locals, not only because of money, but also about technology and attitude.
The purpose of these smugglers is very simple, that is, to make money, and as long as they give money, they will work hard. Add a little more company and they'll call you a conscientious entrepreneur!
And those locals are different, most of them are more arrogant, have a kind of honey self-confidence, and their work ability is much worse than that of stowaways, either stupid, or pure attitude problems.
"Very good!"
Luo Yin patted Lai'an's shoulder, he was very satisfied with Lai'an.
I didn't expect Lai'an, the gift of the acquisition company, to still have a certain ability.
Since Lai'an has the ability, Luo Yin will leave the follow-up alone.
Luo Yin asked Mr. Lai'an to produce a batch of vodka to see how it went, and if there was no problem, he would produce other liquor.
However, there is one point that Luo Yin has explained, and that is the secrecy of the way vodka is made.
The way vodka is made is distilled, and this method is unique to Luo Yin - at least Luo Yin has not seen other distilled spirits for the time being.
So Luo Yin asked these workers to work separately, and then make some ineffective steps and materials like making gem candy.
This will be a waste of money, but you can keep the recipe as secret as possible.
Although, as long as it is mass-produced, it is impossible to keep it completely secret, especially with such a thing that does not have much technical content. But Luo Yin's requirements are not high, as long as he keeps it secret enough that he opens the Frost Empire market.
Now that the companies on the side of the Sirius Empire are ready, and the United Kingdom of Stokato has also saved up a large amount of vodka, it's time to deliver to the Frost Empire!.
A mountain ghost who loves to laugh
