Rebirth starts with small money

Some things, once a start is made, it is difficult to recover.

There is also a proverb to describe this kind of thing that can be described as quite vivid, that sentence is called "the arrow that shoots the bow does not turn back"!
Using this sentence to describe Chen Li at this moment is simply too accurate.

The reason for this is that he came up with the idea of ​​building a brewery.

Not only to prevent the formula from 50 mall currency exchange from being wasted, but also to help my friend Deng Weimin.

But~ Chen Li really didn't expect to start a beer brand. It's really not as easy as imagined.

In Chen Li's idea ~ the steps to start a beer brand are as follows.

Find a place to build a brewery, the equipment can be ordered from Shennong Foods, and the brewing method has been successfully exchanged.

Then ~ start brewing beer, managed by Deng Weimin!

After the beer was successfully brewed, the sale was handed over to Lucas and Deng Weimin.

Then, because of the quality, Shennong Beer was sold at a high price and sold directly to a large overseas market.

Finally, from outside to inside, when the domestic high-end beer market matures, it will focus on the domestic high-end beer market.

Reasonable~ From these steps, there is nothing wrong with it!
At least the logic is established!

However, when the first step of this matter was officially implemented, Chen Li was confused, and quite confused.

"Boss, how are you thinking about the location of the brewery?"

Deng Weimin's eyes were bloodshot, and it could be seen that this buddy hadn't had a good rest in the past two days.

"My Brother Deng, we are all brothers, why don't you make it up to one boss?"

Chen Li felt a little helpless~ Ever since Deng Weimin officially went to work, he changed his name to his boss.

Although Chen Li didn't think it was necessary, Deng Weimin still insisted on doing this, but because of his previous habits, the boss and his brother often yelled at each other.

"Don't mind~ the rules are the rules, we can call you whatever we want in private, but when I'm working, I still have to call you the boss."

Deng Weimin had a smile on his face, and it could be seen that although this buddy looked very tired recently, compared with before~ his mental head was completely different.

"Okay~ okay~ whatever you say!"

"Tell me about the address! Is an address so troublesome?"

Chen Li waved his hand and brought the topic back to business.

This business is about the choice of the location of the brewery.

Originally, in Chen Li's view, wouldn't a brewery just need land?
Find a piece of land~ set up a factory, several 12345!

But when this matter came to Deng Weimin's hands, it became extremely detailed.

The choice of land occupation should be based on the local transportation, water conservancy, and even the policy of attracting investment and so on.

Needless to say, transportation, since it is a brewery ~ naturally must be convenient for transportation.

In particular, Shennong Beer is still focusing on overseas markets. In fact, strictly speaking, it should build factories in overseas sales markets.

After all, if it is ordinary beer, with that little profit, it is estimated that even the shipping fee will not be able to earn back when it is shipped overseas.

This is why Chen Li was very excited when he thought that Shennong Food could be delivered to his door.

Once the transportation is handed over to Shennong Foods, it will be difficult for Chen Li to make money by tinkering with beer.

Especially for those low-priced beers, a large part of the cost of those beers is actually on the transportation cost.

Otherwise, why would Snow Flower plant mushrooms everywhere and fiddle with building factories?

It is because they feel that when the brewery covers more than two hundred kilometers, there is basically no profit.

Because the shipping cost is there!
If the distance is too far, a carload of beer can't even earn back the capital, so it's still selling beer.

Therefore, many beer brands are located all over the country and have their own production bases and branch factories.

After all, Huaxia is so big~ Only by doing so can the benefits be maximized.

But Shennong Beer is obviously different, because from the beginning, Shennong Beer did not set its sights on the domestic market.

So to be honest~ In fact, going abroad to build a factory is the best choice.

That's what Chen Li originally thought~ Once Lucas opened a certain market, he just went to the area where the market is located and built a brewery.

But after discussing with Manager Hu about the transportation, Chen Li had other ideas.

Since the transportation can be handed over to Shennong Food, and the transportation cost is so low that it is almost outrageous, although Manager Hu said to let Chen Li add money, the extent of the increase~ is completely within Chen Li's tolerance.

To put it bluntly, in fact, after Manager Hu told Chen Li the transportation price, Chen Li actually had another idea in his mind.

That is. To do logistics, it is also international logistics.

Chen Li dares to say that as long as Shennong Foods does logistics, 100% of the logistics companies in the world will go bankrupt, and none of them will survive!
Compared with Shennong Food, the messy rabbit that tossed the domestic logistics market in the previous life was not enough to read.

Because Manager Hu charged Chen Li a dime for a bottle of wine!

This is international logistics. A bottle of beer costs ten cents. Chen Li even dared to dump Snow Beer abroad.

And with regard to the logistics price~ Chen Li guarantees that as long as he does the logistics business, there will basically be no other logistics business.

It's just. It's a pity~ Shennong Foods is only responsible for providing logistics services to members, and will not allow members to use their logistics services for profit.

So. After a brief discussion with Manager Hu, Chen Li had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​making "big" money.

However~ Although there is no chance to dominate the logistics business, the logistics services provided by Shennong Foods are still enough for Chen Li to consider using this convenience more in his future development.

Beer ~ It only costs a dime to ship abroad, so what about other things?
You must know that many things in China are actually limited by transportation costs, and it is difficult to sell them abroad.

But if the transportation cost is solved, then none of this is a problem.

So Chen Li was a little excited at that time, and a business quickly flashed through his mind.

But when he calmed down, he felt something was wrong.

After all, it is still the same sentence~ There is no free lunch in the world, and there will be no pies falling from the sky.

So~ Shennong Foods may have hidden some hidden tricks in the dime shipping fee.

Chen Li knows Xiaomeng very well now, that little girl Pianzi is a miser.

Don't think that Chen Li may have taken advantage of the shipping fee, but maybe this little girl is waiting for him elsewhere.

So Chen Li hesitated a little later, but the fat was all on the side of his mouth, and Chen Li couldn't bear it if he didn't eat it.

So in the end~ Chen Li decided to continue making beer, and put other ideas on hold for now.

After he figured out what's tricky about this logistics, let's talk about other things.

So when he made a choice, he decided to put this brewery in China.

Not only in China, he even plans to put the brewery in his hometown.

Anyway, Shennong Foods is responsible for the transportation, and it doesn’t matter where the brewery is built.

But the facts have proved that Chen Li's thinking is still simple ~ one-sided ~ even...too unreliable.

Chen Li knew that the logistics of Shennong Food must have the attribute of black technology, but others didn't know it!
When Deng Weimin heard that Chen Li planned to put the brewery in his hometown Nancheng, he almost got anxious with Chen Li.

As the former head of the Snow Beer region, Deng Weimin doesn't have a deep understanding of beer production, but he is absolutely clear about the cost and sales of beer.

He knew that Shennong Beer was going to go overseas, but that didn't mean that Chen Li could choose any place to build a factory.

From Nancheng, Chen Li's hometown, to the nearest international airport, which is Rongcheng Airport, the distance alone is several hundred kilometers.

And the most important thing is that the road conditions from Rongcheng to Nancheng are very bad. The distance between the two places is not too far, but the car journey takes nearly four or five hours.

This alone increases the transportation cost by a large margin.

If the brewery is built near Chengdu, it will save the brewery a lot of money every year.

Chen Li felt helpless when he heard it. He couldn't tell Deng Weimin about my system. The system would solve the logistics problem. Then Deng Weimin might send him to a mental hospital.

And after careful consideration, what Deng Weimin said is indeed very reasonable.

Chen Liguang wanted to build for his hometown, and wanted to go to his hometown for any good deeds, but in fact, Nancheng these days did not have such conditions at all.

The Rongnan Expressway that will run through Rongcheng and Nancheng in the future~ Is this still under discussion or bidding?

Chen Li remembered that Rongnan told the construction was started in November this year, and it was only opened to traffic in 11.

And even after the opening of the Rongnan Expressway, it will take more than two hours from Rongcheng to Nancheng.

This is only second, the most important issue is the raw material issue pointed out by Deng Weimin.

Yes ~ a brewery doesn't conjure beer out of thin air.

You can order equipment from the system, but you can't also find the system for raw materials, right?

The raw materials needed for brewing beer in a brewery include malt ~ hops ~ yeast and even water!
It can be said that the quality of beer is also limited by the quality of these raw materials to a large extent.

At the beginning, Chen Lili's idea was quite simple, just go to the system to order directly.

But after being proposed by Deng Weimin, Chen Li found that this thing is unreliable!
Just like why Chen Li's ideal fried chicken needs to be equipped with a chicken farm, this brewery must also have high-quality raw material suppliers.

After all, these raw materials are not like equipment. Buying equipment is a one-off deal. At most, you will send a few bionics to maintain and repair it from time to time in the future.

The impact of this situation is very small and completely within the controllable range, so there is nothing.

But if the raw materials are ordered directly from the system, it is a long-term business.It's very easy to reveal your secrets if you don't do it well.

Don't talk about anything else~ If those suppliers say they want to visit the raw material supply site, what are they going to do?
Chen Li can't just conjure up a piece of land and then take people to visit, right?
So~ Chen Li has to solve the matter of raw materials by himself.

But how can he solve it?

In his previous life, Chen Li paid most attention to which brand of beer tasted good, but who the hell would care about the raw materials of this beer?

Fortunately, it is good to have a system~ After consulting Xiaomeng, I got a solution.

Shennong Foods can split a part to help Chen Li purchase the corresponding raw materials.

In fact, just like the chicken provided by Shennong Foods to Ideal Fried Chicken in the early days, Chen Li placed the order, and then the system helped Chen Li buy it from the supplier.

It's just that the quality of the purchased chicken is completely different from the chicken produced by Chen Li's own chicken farm.

So. If you want to have the best raw materials for brewing beer, the best solution is for Chen Li to exchange seeds in the system and find someone to plant them.

Before that, the system can help Chen Li purchase raw materials that meet the requirements.

It's just that the system needs to purchase a certain handling fee!
Hmm~ This is completely within Chen Li's expectations, after all, this is how the system used to make money from him when it came to purchasing goods from fried chicken shops.

Although the price is a bit expensive~ but it is indeed guaranteed!

It is because of this that Ideal Fried Chicken has not had any problems with the quality of ingredients so far.

So with lessons learned, Chen Li quickly accepted the proposal.

But here comes the problem. Raw materials solve the problem, but the transportation of raw materials should also be handed over to Shennong Food?

That's a must~ Shennong Food's logistics is so convenient, how could Chen Li not use it!

But Chen Li claimed Shennong Food's logistics level, but others didn't know about it!

In Deng Weimin's view, Chen Lixiang's idea of ​​putting the brewery in Nancheng is simply a ping pong in his head!

The profit of beer itself is not as high as imagined, and Chen Li even put the factory in Nancheng.

The raw materials come here~ the cost increases by a bit, and the transportation cost increases again after the beer is successfully brewed. Although the profit of Shennong Beer is not small, since the money can be saved, why not save it?

So ~ Deng Weimin went off in person, visited several areas within a week, and then offered three choices to Chen Li.

As the former regional director of Snow Beer, Deng Weimin must have some advantages in the industry.

These three places are all concentrated in Rongcheng. Needless to say, the reason for this is that Deng Weimin used to be a senior executive of Snow Beer in Sichuan Province.

These places that are suitable for building breweries are actually some places that the Snow Group has inspected before.

It was only later that Snowflake Group, relying on Deng Weimin's several marketing plans, quickly suppressed its competitors and finally occupied the beer market in Sichuan Province.

In just two years, Snowflake's beer market share in Sichuan exceeded 50%, and some of the original beer brands in Sichuan either went bankrupt or were acquired.

After Snowflake Group acquired these breweries, it also slowed down the original factory construction plan.

But now. This plan is considered cheap, Chen Li.

"Let me see~ let's go here!"

Chen Li took a document and pushed it to Deng Weimin.

"It's next to Airport Road, so it's convenient."

"There is probably nothing more convenient than here!"
