You are worth tens of billions before you come to the system?

Chapter 29 The King of Hell is easy to offend, but the devil is difficult to deal with

"Hello, Secretary Tang, I am Lin Zitai."

"You have time at noon, can we have a quick lunch?"

"Okay, see you at Jinmao Hotel at 11:30."

At noon, the leaders of various administrative departments in the SJ District of Shanghai gathered together, each one showing off and showing off his official style.

Until Tang Xiaolong came in, they suddenly turned into quails, put away their previous arrogance, and showed flattering smiles on their faces.

The corner of Lin Zitai's mouth raised slightly, and he introduced Tang Xiaolong to everyone: "You leaders have worked really hard. You still stick to your posts during the holidays. I'd like to toast you."

He had basically never dealt with administrative departments before, and the one he was most familiar with was probably the Shanghai Securities Regulatory Commission in Shanghai.

When opening a food processing factory today, you will inevitably have to deal with various departments of environmental protection, urban construction, and quality supervision.

Therefore, the city secretary Tang Xiaolong was invited to come to the town. His arrival can reduce some unnecessary troubles.

Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. Without Tang Xiaolong's intervention, even after a few meals, we would not be able to figure out the reason.

“It’s all about serving the people.”

"Boss Lin, you are too polite."

Just now, the leaders were talking about Xiao Lin, but Tang Xiaolong later changed their words and became Mr. Lin.

It is clear at a glance whether Tang Xiaolong's position is relevant or not, but he is the confidant of the second-in-command in the Magic City.

It is self-evident who is standing behind Lin Zitai.

Starting from scratch is just talk. If it had nothing to do with it, the Prince Group would have been divided long ago.

Several leaders looked at each other and felt lucky. Fortunately, they were still wary of Lin Zitai's social status and had not acted too presumptuously just now, otherwise there would be no room for maneuver now.

Tang Xiaolong had already known his intention and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin is an outstanding young entrepreneur in our country. The Prince Group is also a pioneer taxpayer company in our capital. Now we have decided to enter the food industry and the factory will be located in Songjiang. In the future, we will also invite various companies to Department leaders should take more care of them."

"Tang Mi's words are serious, this is what we should do."

“Settling in Songjiang is also our luck in Songjiang.”

The atmosphere at the wine table was very good, but Lin Zitai did not make the request. His idea seemed to be very simple. Today was just for eating and chatting, for everyone to get to know each other, that's all.

Because making demands now is to use force to pressure others. Although they will comply and get things done, they will inevitably have some small emotions in their hearts.

The best way is to let them know that there is someone behind Lin Zitai.It’s not impossible to get food and get cards if you want in the future, but you have to pay attention to propriety, and things must be done well.

Although Lin Zitai is young, he has been working in the mall for several years. If he doesn't understand this principle, then his work will be in vain.

The king of hell is easy to offend, but the devil is difficult to deal with.

In the future, we will have to deal with each other for a long time. It is not a one-time deal, but it is better to maintain the relationship with the leaders of various departments.

The meal lasted for two hours, and finally Lin Zitai stood at the door of the hotel and personally watched the leaders leave.

Lin Zitai cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Secretary Tang."

"Boss Lin, you are too polite."

Tang Xiaolong smiled slightly and added: "Mayor Li is very happy. He said that he knew you would not be defeated by setbacks."

"Say hello to Mayor Li for me."

"sure."

"Secretary Tang, walk slowly."

Tang Xiaolong left in the car, and Lin Zitai took a long breath.

Now the relationship between various departments is open, and as soon as the holiday is over, the procedures required by the factory will be completed immediately.

They came to the factory. Compared with yesterday, there were more than a dozen engineers in the factory, all of whom were employees of PepsiCo.

Some are responsible for debugging equipment, while others are responsible for product design. They are almost equipped with various positions required for a complete production line.Food production is not like electronic manufacturing. It does not require too many personnel positions and is basically fully automated production.

He Guangjian is also upright and has agreed in advance that as long as he can complete the production tasks, the 500 million bonus will be divided equally.

The fewer people there are, the more money each person gets, so most people take the initiative to wear multiple hats.

Lin Zitai felt amazing: "Wouldn't this cause chaos?"

"No, when they were at Pepsi, their workload was greater than it is now."

He Guangjian sighed inexplicably: "After all, it has been almost 40 years since PepsiCo entered the Chinese market."

It has been assimilated by the locals for a long time, and there are many useless formalisms. There are many people writing reports and few doing work.

In fact, they are all very talented and capable, but they just don't know how to flatter others, so they have never been taken seriously.

Lin Zitai smiled and said, "Old He, how about letting them stay and help you in the future?"

He Guangjian's eyes widened: "Is it okay?"

"Of course, but after I finish my work."

While the two were talking, Mo Wenzhi also purchased some raw materials and returned to the factory.

Because time is urgent, they purchase some raw materials from other factories at a 40% premium.

"It's okay. It's understandable that we are in a hurry."

Lin Zitai thought for a while and asked: "If we follow the normal purchase price, how much can the cost be controlled?"

"Excluding packaging and transportation, the cost per ton is about 910 yuan. Taking a 300ml bottle as an example, the cost is about 0.38 yuan."

No matter what kind of beverage is on the market, the cheapest ones are always raw materials, while the most expensive ones are packaging cans, followed by warehousing and logistics.

以250ml的红牛为例，成本约2.1元，原材料的成本约0.3元、瓶子1.1元、仓储和物流成本约0.7元。

Although customers spend 5 yuan or 6 yuan to purchase, it does not mean that Red Bull can earn that much. According to market analysis, Red Bull earns about 2 yuan per bottle, and the remaining money is divided by distributors.

Despite this, only Red Bull can earn 2 yuan per bottle of drink in China. Their market-beating pricing and reputation as a functional drink have allowed their net profit to reach an astonishing 45%, second only to Nongfu Spring.

For example, 500ml of Pepsi-Cola retails for 3 yuan, but the cost is only 1.1 yuan, and the actual profit per bottle is only 0.4 yuan.

After understanding the cost price of raw materials, Lin Zitai came to the office to take a look at the design of the beverage cans.

Tinplate cans are very expensive, but Red Bull’s Tencel Group can reduce the cost of the cans to 1.1 yuan or even lower.

But they can't do it. Firstly, the quantity is not enough. Secondly, they are new faces in the industry and cannot get the lowest price.

Therefore, Lin Zitai made a very big concession in terms of the cost of the tank, as long as it does not exceed 1.5 yuan.

The tank costs 1.5 yuan, the materials cost 0.4 yuan, and the warehousing and logistics costs are about 0.8 yuan, and the total cost reaches 2.7 yuan.

Lin Zitai plans to sell the drink at a retail price of 6 yuan. Since it is a new product with little reputation, he will have to give at least 2 yuan in profit to the distributors. The final profit is estimated to be only 1.3 yuan.

However, he knows that this is only a short-term profit. As long as the reputation is established and sales increase, the cost will decrease.

"Mr. Lin, please see which one is more suitable. If it feels right, we will confirm it as soon as possible."

Liu Xiaojun took out the product picture, and he contacted several well-known domestic tank designers overnight, offering a reward of 500 million to take out all their previous inventory.

These tanks have unique designs and are patented. Once confirmed, the patent can be transferred.

"only these?"

Lin Zitai frowned, not even satisfied. The yellow tank of Red Bull was too deeply rooted in people's hearts.

If they also use yellow as the main color, there will always be an inexplicable copycat feeling, which is indescribably weird.
