Return to the countryside to engage in industry

Chapter 252 Price War

Zhou Xingsheng lit a cigarette and said with a smile, "It's hard to say."

Yang Zhenyu realized that Zhou Xingsheng didn't want to talk more, so he didn't ask, "Brother Zhou, if you need my help if you encounter any difficulties, just ask."

Zhou Xingsheng patted Yang Zhenyu on the shoulder, "Your words are enough."

If he didn't say anything, Yang Zhenyu could guess that the investment in the city must have lost money, possibly a lot.

What Zhou Xingsheng said is right, the market in the city is in dire straits, and the relationship is more complicated. If you can play thoroughly in the county, you may not be able to mix well in the city.

However, Yang Zhenyu has always coveted the market in Chongqing. Whether it is the liquor or vermicelli produced in Yangjiawan Village, they will go to Chongqing sooner or later.

Yang Zhenyu was prepared. Even if Zhou Xingsheng stumbled first when he went to explore the road, it did not affect his determination to enter Yu City.

The meeting that Zhou Xingsheng held at the Qingjiang County Hot Pot Association today has another very important meaning. He wants to use the association and the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau to use hot pot catering as the starting point to do a big reshuffle. During the reshuffle, they will definitely be eliminated. A group of hot pot restaurants, and their market will become the target of Zhou Xingsheng's further devouring.

The means are a bit vicious, but there is no way around it. This is business. In the business field, especially small and medium-sized entrepreneurs, they often switch roles between being a torii and a bitch.

He wants to get back the money lost in the city from the market in the county.

The vermicelli factory in Yangjiawan Village encountered this reshuffle. If it operates well, it can be regarded as an opportunity.

Yang Zhenyu knew it well, and it was fine to keep some things in his heart. If he explained it, the relationship would become stagnant.

What's more, a businessman, who is not for that benefit?
As the general manager of Pentium Agricultural Trade Co., Ltd., to some extent, Yang Zhenyu is in the same category as them.

After leaving the Hot Pot Association, Yang Zhenyu went to meet a few old acquaintances, and got the order without any fuss.

Back in the village, let Yang Song and Yang Chuan continue to follow up with customers.

After potatoes are made into starch, the production speed of vermicelli is much faster. The two semi-automatic production lines in the factory can produce about three tons of vermicelli per day. Of course, the current market demand is not so large, and Yang Zhenyu did not let the vermicelli factory speed up production. .

……

Since the wet potato flour produced by the Vermicelli Factory in Yangjiawan Village entered the catering market in Qingjiang County, it has been out of control and the order volume has risen steadily. This is closely related to Yang Zhenyu's hard work in the catering circle of Qingjiang County for more than a year.

While the wet potato noodles produced in Yangjiawan Village are loved by the catering market, the interests of some vermicelli factories have been greatly damaged.

The famous vermicelli factory in Qingjiang County is the Jinsi vermicelli factory located in the industrial park. In addition to producing potato vermicelli, it also produces sweet potato vermicelli and corn vermicelli. Before the vermicelli from Yangjiawan Village entered the market, this Jinsi vermicelli The vermicelli factory can be regarded as the leader of Qingjiang County, monopolizing more than 45% of Qingjiang County's supply.

There are twenty or thirty other vermicelli factories, large and small.

The wet potato vermicelli from Yangjiawan Village has only entered the catering market in Qingjiang County for half a month, and the order of the gold noodle factory has dropped sharply, and Duan Kun, the owner of the vermicelli factory, can't sit still.

On the one hand, go around the relationship, and on the other hand, work with several manufacturers in the same industry to lower the price.

The price war of vermicelli in Qingjiang County is on the verge of breaking out.

Duan Kun's view of the reduction in the vermicelli market is a little simple. He thought it was just Yang Zhenyu who used his personal connections to steal the market, but he didn't know that there was another big cleanup involving the Qingjiang County Hot Pot Association and the Market Supervision Administration. Card.

The price reduction is to regain the market, but the loss of profit is unacceptable to Duan Kun. He wants to reduce the price to grab the market while maintaining profits, which can only reduce production costs. The easiest way to reduce production costs in vermicelli manufacturing is to add With chemical additives such as alum and phosphate, the vermicelli produced are the same in appearance as the vermicelli produced in Yangjiawan Village, and even look more gold and silver.

The amount of additives depends on how much the price of vermicelli drops.

Duan Kun's thinking has already touched the red line, and at the same time jumped into the deep pit of the major reshuffle of Qingjiang County's catering industry.

For the hot pot bosses headed by Zhou Xingsheng, this reshuffle is a good opportunity to share the market. For the Market Supervision Administration, it is a good opportunity to rectify the catering industry, and it is also a good opportunity for many employees in the unit to perform.

……

Yangjiawan vermicelli factory.

Yang Zhenyu is adjusting the seasoning and preparing to enter the instant vermicelli market.

Yang Chuan came back by car, took the order form and hurried to Yang Zhenyu and said, "Director Yang, a few more customers have been snatched away by the Golden Silk Vermicelli Factory."

Yang Zhenyu scooped up a spoonful of the soup that was being adjusted, and tasted it, "The taste seems to be a bit bland, which does not meet the tastes of people in our place. Yang Chuan, how about you try it?"

Yang Chuan did as he did, took a spoonful and tasted it casually, "It's a bit bland, and it's better if it's spicier."

Yang Zhenyu said: "I think so too."

Yang Chuan emphasized again: "Director Yang, our customers have been decreasing every day during this period. If this continues, the customers will run out. What should we do if we can't buy vermicelli?"

Yang Chuan was very anxious.

Yang Zhenyu asked very calmly: "Are the big orders still there?"

Yang Chuan nodded and said, "Yes."

"That's fine. We also snatched many customers from the gold thread vermicelli factory. Now it's normal for them to win them back." Yang Zhenyu smiled and continued to adjust the material package.

Yang Chuan was dumbfounded after hearing this, and stood there for a while, trying not to understand.

This wasn't the Yang Zhenyu he knew. When he was robbing pork before, he had driven Luo Biao's gang of pig dealers to a dead end. With his character, how could he tolerate others stealing business?

Yang Chuan shook his head, didn't bother Yang Zhenyu anymore, and went into the factory to organize the porters to load the goods.

In the afternoon, when Yang Song came back from the county, Yang Zhenyu asked, "How much is the price of the gold silk powder factory?"

Yang Song said: "Eight and a half yuan!"

Yang Zhenyu smiled slightly: "It seems that I was pushed into a hurry."

Even if the Jinsi Flour Factory buys potatoes at wholesale prices, 8 cents per catty of potatoes, based on the calculation of 8 catties of pure starch produced from 6.4 catties of potatoes in this area, the production cost of a catty of potato flour is [-] yuan, not including labor, Water, electricity and other costs.

If no additives are added and cassava flour is not mixed for production, the profit of the golden silk vermicelli factory is very small.

How could a shrewd businessman like Duan Kun allow his profits to be damaged?

As for those restaurants that re-sourced the goods from the Gold Silk Flour Factory, they bought the goods at a price of [-] yuan, and the profits were very rich.

Take a hot pot restaurant as an example. The price of a serving of potato flour ranges from 6 to 10 yuan. The net weight of a serving is 180g. A catty of potato flour can be divided into more than two portions, which is close to three points. It is easy to calculate the profit. Jiawan Village buys goods at a wholesale price of 12 yuan, and the profit has more than doubled.

So Yang Chuan came back in the afternoon and said that he was losing customers every day, and Yang Zhenyu was not surprised at all.

Yang Song asked: "Director Yang, what should we do next?"
