Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

Even the director of the supplies department and Sister Xu have the same attitude.

No one supports Xu Wanning making Coke.

"As the first food factory in China to make Coke, doesn't this gimmick attract you?"

Director Zhang was moved for a moment, but quickly shook his head and refused.

"It's not that the title is bad. The ultimate goal of our factory is to make money. All the money we make is used to enrich the country. Only when we make more money can the country's capital become stronger and stronger."

Xu Wanning naturally understands this truth.

But she was not discouraged by Director Zhang's refusal. She asked, "What if I can reduce the cost?"

"Reducing the cost?" Factory Director Zhang and the Director of the Materials Department looked at each other in confusion: "The cost is already like this. If it is lowered further, wouldn't it mean using inferior brown sugar and white vinegar? In this way, wouldn't food safety be guaranteed? No, no, even if it is possible. We don’t make this money, and we can’t give the people bad food!”

This is the bottom line!

Xu Wanning naturally trusts the quality of the old factory.

"No, we must use the best raw materials for food. As Director Zhang said, food safety issues cannot be ignored. But as I said just now, the most expensive part of Coke is plastic bottles. We can start from this aspect. For example Say, replace the plastic bottles with glass bottles.”

"Glass bottles are good, the cost of glass is much cheaper than plastic!"

I think back then, the extra large glass jars for canned fruits only cost [-] cents each.

The Coke glass bottle will shrink several times, so the price will naturally be cheaper.

Plastics are expensive because raw materials are hard to find.

Using glass bottles has another advantage.

"Glass bottles can be recycled. We can set the price of Coke at [-] cents, and recycle the finished glass bottles to get [-] cents, which means you can drink a bottle of Coke for [-] cents. .”

"This... this..." Director Zhang continued to rub his hands: "This is a great idea! Glass bottles can be recycled and reused, wouldn't the cost be greatly reduced?"

"What if someone is unwilling to return the glass bottle?" asked the director of the materials department.

Xu Wanning smiled and said: "We order glass bottles on a large scale. The price of a bottle is only about [-] cents. Even if we don't return it, we won't suffer a loss."

This time, even the director of the Materials Department couldn't help but give Xu Wanning a thumbs up.

It is known that the food cost of a bottle of Coke is about [-] cents, the labor cost is [-] cents, and the transportation cost to other places is less than [-] cents. Taking into account losses, the average cost of a bottle of Coke is only about [-] cents. .

So, a bottle of Coke can make half the profit.

As for glass bottles, the cost is negligible.

"But there is a very serious and critical issue. Recycled glass bottles must be disinfected before they can be used again. Otherwise, the bacteria produced in them will cause diarrhea, which is the least serious consequence."

"So, our most difficult part is not the production line, but the need for a disinfection machine."

The director of the material department frowned: "A sterilizer easily costs thousands of dollars. And a glass bottle only costs a dime."

"Yes, a sterilization machine is worth tens of thousands of glass bottles. Moreover, the cost of the glass bottles is not on us. Even if it costs [-] cents a bottle, there are still many people buying it. . When they buy it back, the glass bottle can also be used to store soy sauce and vinegar, so it’s not a waste." Accountant Sister Xu said.

"Your worries are not unreasonable, but I believe that the sales volume of tens of thousands of bottles of Coke is only a few months. The money to buy the machine can be earned back quickly. As for the secondary use mentioned by Sister Xu, love People who drink Coca-Cola will buy Coca-Cola repeatedly, so the bottles at home will pile up without the opportunity to reuse them.”

"In this way, wouldn't it create a lot of garbage and affect the ecological environment? The most important thing is that by reusing glass bottles, we don't have to make glass bottles on a large scale. The saved glass can be used to make More important things."

"In the countryside, many people's windows are still made of paper. Glass windows can only be afforded by people with a good family background. Paper windows have no effect in resisting the wind and cold in the cold winter, even if the house is burning. There is a charcoal fire, the windows are leaking, and the room cannot be warmed.”

Xu Wanning's words, considered from all angles, also made the director of the material department and the accountant Sister Xu fall into deep thought.

"We have to convene a meeting with the leaders of the long-term office to vote on this matter."

Although he is the director of a food factory, Limin Food Factory is not his only one.

Although a few thousand yuan is not much, one disinfection machine is obviously not enough. At least two are needed, which means it will cost more than [-] yuan.

Factory director Zhang couldn't make up his mind about such a large-scale expenditure.

Fortunately, as a result of the meeting, Xu Wanning's proposal was almost unanimously approved.

"We refused to make Coke before because the profit was too low, so we thought it was not worth the risk."

"But now, the most expensive bottle problem has been solved, the cost has been greatly reduced, and the profit is considerable. You can try it. What's more, Comrade Xu is right. As the first food factory to produce Coke in China, our Limin Food Factory We are taking the lead again! This is something that other food factories cannot catch up with no matter what!"

Moreover, for foreign cola, because they are worried about the formula being leaked, the most critical part is held by their own hands, and the wages of these people are unimaginably high.

And their wages will also be calculated into the cost.

But they are not worried about this problem, because the most critical formula is in Xu Wanning's hands.

The most important thing is that China has a large population, so labor is cheap, and the labor cost is less than a penny for a bottle of Coke.

So, Coke can sell!

"In addition to Coca-Cola, there are lemon-flavored sodas, green apple-flavored, grape-flavored, and orange-flavored sodas. I can make them all. As long as the sales volume of Coke is considerable, we can gradually introduce other flavors. This is Coke The company can’t catch up!”

Xu Wanning's words made the factory leaders more confident.

"We will buy a disinfection machine at the beginning. If the sales volume is high enough and the profit is enough, we can buy more one after another."

"Then, our Coca-Cola must also have a resounding name, right?"

Xu Wanning thought for a while and asked tentatively: "How about calling it China Coke?"

Although it sounds weird and a bit convoluted, this is China's own Coke, and there will be other flavors of soda in the future, one of a kind!

Therefore, calling it China Coke is no exaggeration at all!

Xu Wanning's proposal was accepted.
