The Era of Hard Work

   Chapter 266 Direct cooperation (please subscribe)

  The chicken semi-finished products of Burger King basically come from the processing factory of Tie Rooster. The cost is relatively low and the quality is guaranteed. However, raw materials such as French fries and finished skewers of Mala Tang shops are mainly sourced from the market.

   With one more middleman, there will naturally be another layer of cost.

  Lv's Catering Company wants to further expand its scale. Fortunately, for all kinds of Mala Tang products, there is actually a considerable demand for hot pot restaurants. Further reducing the cost has naturally become a problem for Lu Dong.

   It is not shameful for a commercial company to pursue profit within a reasonable and legal bound.

   Lu Dong contacted several manufacturers again. The other party heard that he needed nearly 10,000 yuan of goods every day, and it would further increase in the future. One by one, he became extremely enthusiastic, as if the price was not a problem.

  Price is important, but in addition to price, some issues are equally important.

  So, Lu Dong plans to visit those factories in person, and then talk about cooperation.

   Lu Dong was also careful, and didn't set a specific time with anyone.

  There are no larger manufacturers in Quannan. Lu Dong has inquired about them. There are also several small workshops that produce the raw materials used in Mala Tang. The larger the scale, the lower the cost.

  Lü Dong saw a small workshop in Quannan, and he no longer had extravagant hopes for a family-style workshop. The sanitary conditions alone were enough to eliminate them all.

   He was going to visit Linzi and Kite City that he had contacted.

   may be going for a while, and there are still a lot of things to be arranged before leaving.

In terms of recruitment, let Du Xiaobing and Qian Feng be responsible for the preliminary interview; each store manager is responsible for the storefront; for those dealing with government agencies, such as support and loans, it is most suitable for Big Ivan to come forward; You can call Lu Chun directly.

"I heard that the road is quite chaotic." Song Na still remembered the village toll booth when the bombing battle last year, and told Lu Dong: "You have to bring a lot of money when you go to talk about purchasing goods. It is not safe for you to go alone, so bring a few more people with you. "

   It seems that I heard Seventh Uncle say that once he and Lu Dong went to buy goods at night, and they also encountered a robbery.

   In the past few years, there has been no break in the news of the fight against the car gangster Roadhog on TV and newspapers.

   Lu Dong said with a smile: "I'll take Xiaoshan and Wei Guo together. With the two of them, I can scare away some people's bad thoughts."

  Song Na nodded: "Alright, the three of you can take care of you together."

   Lu Dong said again: "Since the beginning of this year, the law and order has been much better, you can rest assured and go to school safely."

  Talking to Song Na, Lu Dong was actually very careful, and specially asked Su Xiaoshan to buy a few rubber rollers to put on Santana.

   If you really want to meet someone who can’t open your eyes, two bald heads can scare away a lot of people.

   How to say something? The bald head seems to be able to increase the crit.

   The next morning, Su Xiaoshan drove Lv Dong and Qiao Weiguo in a black Santana to the nearby Linzi City.

   Then go to Kite City.

   Leaving the university town, Lu Dong said directly to Su Xiaoshan who was driving: "Xiaoshan, let's take the high speed."

   "Come on!" Su Xiaoshan left the university town and headed north. From the service station on the north side, he took the expressway from Quannan to Daocheng.

  This expressway, completed five years ago, traverses many cities between Sennan and Daocheng, greatly shortening the travel time between the two places.

  When Su Xiaoshan used to transport coal, he used to run on this expressway. He passed the toll booth and said, "Going from the expressway can save half the time compared to the provincial road, but the expressway fee is a bit expensive."

   Lu Dong said, "It's not cheap to take the provincial road."

   Qiao Weiguo, who was in the co-pilot, answered, "There is still a toll booth when Qingzhao went to Quannan two years ago."

   Lu Dong nodded: "It was only revoked two years ago."

   On the provincial road, there are not only toll booths between prefectures and cities, but now there are also toll booths between different counties within the same prefecture and city.

  For example, when Qingzhao goes to Quannan, before the construction of the university town, there are toll stations on all provincial and national highways, and the toll for a car costs 10 yuan.

   To go out of town, the fee is higher.

After leaving the Qingzhao section of the expressway, Su Xiaoshan concentrated on driving. This expressway was very tricky in the early days. The maximum speed limit on this section may be 120, and it may become 60 if you don’t go far. People who are not familiar with the road conditions will run down the highway. , In addition to the high-speed fee, it is common to throw a few hundred dollars.

   Even in this era, all kinds of speed measurement and monitoring are the most advanced on the expressways in the Taidong area, so there is no need to worry about the high cost, because the income created by a star in a year can make many large enterprises shameless.

   Not too long after leaving the Qingzhao section, I encountered a traffic jam, which is very rare in this year.

  Su Xiaoshan saw someone running ahead to inquire, and when he came back, he lowered the car window and asked, "What's wrong with the front?"

  The man said: "There was a car accident. I heard that the two old men were idle and all right. They came to watch the cars on the highway together. One of them wanted to run across the highway to the other side, but a small car hit it."

   Lu Dong asked, "How's it going?"

  The man replied: "It's not bad, it is estimated that it will be released soon."

   Originally it took more than 40 minutes to arrive, but because of a car accident, it took nearly an hour and a half to arrive.

I got off the expressway at the toll station on the east side of Linzi City. There was no navigation on the car, and my mobile phone could only be counted as half a block for the time being. According to the address provided by the other party, Lu Dong asked Su Xiaoshan to get off the bus several times to ask. At that time, I finally found the Hanlin Food Processing Factory near the eastern suburbs of Linzi City.

   When he was about to arrive at the processing factory, Lu Dong called the boss he had contacted.

   This is a completely personal enterprise, not small in scale, mainly producing all kinds of small food.

In the past two years, Mala Tang, which has spread from Sichuan and Sichuan, has undergone localization changes in the north. people.

   Chang Hanlin, the owner of Hanlin Food Processing Factory, is one of them.

   The black Santana drove into the factory gate. Just as the car stopped, Chang Hanlin, who was in his forties, walked over quickly and helped Lu Dong open the door.

  According to the phone number he contacted, he was a big customer. If they can negotiate, the sales may increase by 200000000000000000000030000, so his attitude is very low.

  What is produced is not called goods, but what is sold is called goods.

  Otherwise, it will be piled up in the warehouse, just like garbage.

   The opponent has a car and a driver, so he obviously has a certain strength.

   "Boss Lu, I've been waiting for you to come over since the first phone call."

Although the person on the other side was a little too young and suddenly came to the door, Chang Hanlin was a self-employed person, with enough brains and enough knowledge, otherwise he would not have worked hard to build a huge processing factory, and said very politely: "You come here today, Peng. Pi Shenghui!"

  People are polite, and Lu Dong is also polite: "I can't afford it, I can't afford it, Boss Chang is too polite."

  Chang Hanlin said quickly, "Let's talk in the office."

Lu Dong followed him to the office and glanced at the factory. It covers an area of ​​at least 20 acres. There are two huge steel structure workshops. The floor of the factory is hardened with cement, and the cleaning is spotless. Conditions, nothing to say.

   Entering the office, Chang Hanlin gave Lu Dong to the sofa and poured tea and water himself.

  Su Xiaoshan and Qiao Weiguo were also greeted.

  Chang Hanlin stayed by Lu Dong's side. After a few greetings, he took the initiative to enter the topic and asked tentatively, "The last time I called, did Boss Lu use the goods from the factory before?"

   Lu Dong said: "I have used it many times, and the materials from the Hanlin factory are full of materials and good quality, but the price is a bit expensive."

Chang Hanlin said with a smile: "It's said that you get what you pay for, but I'm not boasting. The quality of the products made by the Hanlin factory is absolutely guaranteed. I've been in this business for more than two years, and I've never had a single food accident. "

   Lu Dong said again: "So, the first one I came to was Boss Chang's factory." He said directly: "I currently have two shops in Quannan that use semi-finished materials such as spicy skewers..."

   Hearing that there are only two stores, Chang Hanlin's high expectations were suddenly a little disappointed.

"The single-day sales of my two stores can reach about 30,000 yuan!" Lu Dong continued: "I plan to continue to open stores in the prime area of ​​Quannan city center, and may expand three or four stores within this year, so I buy from the market alone. , far from meeting my needs, terminal sales directly communicate with manufacturers, which can save intermediate links, and also help manufacturers to produce more targeted and avoid waste of resources.”

  The advantages of direct cooperation between terminal sales and manufacturers, Chang Hanlin naturally understands and sees it clearly, otherwise he would not be so humble to receive such a potential big customer.

  Chang Hanlin's face was full of smiles: "Boss Lu, I also want to cooperate directly with you." He had confidence in his own factory: "Why don't you go to the workshop first, let's talk after reading it?"

  Lu Dong thought about it and said, "Yes."

  Chang Hanlin led the way and led Lv Dong to the production workshop. Qiao Weiguo thought of Song Na's advice when he came, so he pulled Su Xiaoshan and quickly followed.

   To enter the factory, you need to wear tooling and sterilize in the air shower. Although the effect process is far less than that of the food processing factory in Lujia Village, it is definitely very rare in this era.

   Most of the small and medium-sized private processing factories do not talk about disinfection, and it is rare to be able to wash your hands in the production workshop.

   The three of Lu Dong, like Chang Hanlin, changed clothes and put on shoe covers to go through the air shower before entering the workshop.

  Lv Dong nodded slightly when he saw the factory building, the stainless steel equipment was bright, and the workers wore work clothes, hats and masks, very formal.

   "Please come this way." Chang Hanlin led the three people to visit.

  The production scale of the factory is not small. For this kind of low-priced product, the larger the production scale, the lower the cost per piece.

   The cost difference between the production of goods worth 10,000 yuan in a single day and the production of goods worth 100,000 yuan in a single day is obvious.

   The entire factory turned around, leaving a pretty good impression on Lu Dong.

   Before he came, he said that he might have time to come over next month, and the other party could not prepare for it. This was most likely a daily state.

   These days, there are many black-hearted manufacturers who are short-sighted and only care about their immediate interests, but there are also those who pay attention to the reputation of the factory and the quality of their products.

  Hanlin Food Processing Factory does this, but it also has a certain price, and the cost will inevitably increase.
