Siheyuan: Since 51

A group of big men were holding a meeting in the west wing of the Chen family, but Lin Zhiyuan naturally didn't know about it.

But suddenly I realized that the Special Economic Bureau was pushing forward the project exceptionally smoothly. It was not like a negotiation, but just giving orders.

December 9th, Monday.

Lin Zhiyuan sat in the office, looking at the documents in his hands, slightly surprised.

"Xiao Pan, are you sure you're not mistaken? It's been a full forty days, and you're telling me now that the preparations for the new factory are complete and construction will start tomorrow?"

"Director Lin, of course it's true."

Pan Fei nodded in response, also somewhat incredulous.

"You don't know that since the 12th of last month, our comrades have been able to advance our work with extraordinary ease. No matter which department we contacted for coordination, they all gave their full support. When Guisui needed a factory, the local government vacated it without hesitation and contacted the railway to assist in transportation. In just one day, the wagons were ready..."

After listening patiently, Lin Zhiyuan secretly complained in his heart.

Are they waiting to see me make a fool of myself and then kick me out?

After a few seconds, he came to his senses and ordered: "Notify the factory to start full production tomorrow."

After that, he reminded again, "New product development team, hurry up and prepare."

"Okay, Director Lin."

Pan Fei agreed and turned to leave.

Lin Zhiyuan called out again, "Wait a moment."

After saying that, he tapped the table with his fingertips, pondering secretly in his mind.

No matter what other departments think, giving them the green light all the way is a good thing!

Would that speed up the process?

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he opened his mouth to give orders again.

"After the samples are produced, we will send 200 sets each, half to the Friendship Store and half to the Mao Bear Museum."

At this point, he changed the subject and said, "By the way, analyze the cost as soon as possible, leaving out all the expenses, I need an accurate number. Also, contact Yuanda and ask about the prices of similar products from Jiaoben Chicken or even Da Piaoliang."

"Okay, Director Lin."

After Pan Fei left, Lin Zhiyuan leaned back, closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

After all, it’s not a medicine, nor is it an exclusive sale, so it’s hard to make a lot of money from it.

Why not first check out what other people’s prices are and then offer a price that’s a little lower than theirs, right?

Of course, if their prices are ridiculously high, I will definitely give Jiaobenji or Da Piaoliang troubles...

In the blink of an eye, it is October.

Zhong Bai sent a market price analysis, as well as finished products from the two restaurants, Foot Basin Chicken and Da Piaoliang.

The new Guisui factory also sent cost reports and its own products.

The thermal underwear has an inner lining to fit closely to the body, which is much thicker than that in the previous life and also a bit harder.

But it doesn’t matter. As long as it’s warm, everything is fine.

As for other cashmere products, including clothes, hats and so on, they all look good.

Compared with the chicken in a basin or even the beautiful finished product, the quality is even more refined.

Lin Zhiyuan was extremely satisfied and kept nodding his head.

"Okay, that's good. The imitation has met the requirements. Tell the Guisui R&D team to develop new products and improve the quality according to my suggestions."

Then he stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the market price analysis and cost price report."

Holding the document, Lin Zhiyuan first looked at the cost.

A set of thermal underwear for less than five bucks.

It’s really cheap. It would cost more than this if you just get some cloth to make a cotton coat.

All I can say is that labor costs at home are low and the price of raw materials is even lower.

Think about your previous life, exchanging tens of millions of shirts for an airplane, how ridiculous that was.

Technology is indeed the primary productive force!

Sighing secretly, Lin Zhiyuan took out the market price analysis and studied it with his head down.

Zhong Bai was very thoughtful and calculated everything in US dollars.

The price of Da Piaoliang is too high and has no reference value.

As for the chicken feet basin, the same thermal underwear exported costs more than fifteen US dollars.

Lin Zhiyuan's eyes widened and he quickly turned the page to find the other party's production cost, which was only seven US dollars, making a net profit of more than double.

The chicken in the basin is so damn evil, it's just a money grab.

I took out a piece of manuscript paper, wrote and drew, and started calculating.

Whether you agree or not, just follow the official exchange rate.

At a ratio of 2.5 to 1, seven US dollars is seventeen dollars and fifty cents, which is 3.5 times the cost. The pricing of the remaining products is obvious.

"Xiao Pan, send them separately later."

After a pause, he added: "You guys go and calculate the pricing. The ratio of cost, wholesale price, and selling price is 1:3.5:5."

Pan Fei couldn't help but frown and couldn't help but remind him.

"Director Lin, if we have unified purchase and sales, won't our prices be a little high? If they are so expensive, what if we can't sell them?"

Lin Zhiyuan looked up and knocked on the table.

"Expensive? The Friendship Store is basically closed to the public, so how can it be expensive? It's just this price, you can buy it if you want. Besides, is it for the purpose of selling it when it is sent to the Friendship Store?"

Then he waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, and tell your colleagues in the bureau to get ready to welcome guests."

Pan Fei was puzzled and asked, "Guests? Director Lin, what do you need to prepare?"

"Clean up and keep your passion high."

……

Teddy Bear Museum.

Chilvo received a total of 100 sets of cashmere products and was a little confused.

Not to mention, the Rabbit and the Elephant have been having an unhappy time lately.

The temperature was just right, but it was puzzling that warm items were delivered so early and for free.

Is the rabbit going to give in?

Or is there something wrong?

……

I don’t understand it, I don’t understand it at all.

Chilvo immediately arranged for people to conduct a detailed inspection of the items.

As a result, there was no problem at all.

The quality is excellent, better than what I ordered from Jiaobenji in previous years.

He ordered his deputy Solovikov to inquire about the news. Chervo sat on the sofa, racking his brains and thinking about all kinds of things.

It was not until the evening that Deputy Solovikov hurried back.

"Sir, I have already found out that all the items are made by the factory under the Special Economics Bureau, and they are new products that have just been launched."

As he spoke, Solovikov became a little excited and began to dance.

"It's also sold at the Friendship Store. The price is cheaper than what we ordered from Jiaobenji. I'm talking about their selling price. Did you hear me clearly? The selling price..."

Chilvo immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, "How much is the price?"

There is no need to worry. Two years ago, Da Piaoliang and Jiaobenji launched cashmere products. In order to keep warm, Mao Xiong has spent a lot of money.

Now that I hear there are high-quality and low-cost alternatives, how can I not be excited?

"Take thermal underwear, for example. The price is 9 rubles. If you buy in bulk, it will definitely be lower."

Solovikov said, and then sighed, "Even if we import it at this price, we can save a lot of money for our family."

Seeing that Chilvo had no reaction, he frowned and asked, "Sir, what are you still thinking about?"

Chilvo stroked his beard, his excitement disappeared, and he looked shrewd and confused.

"Humph, that's what I was saying. Why would they send us warm items for no reason? It turns out they are waiting for us to place an order. Don't worry, wait and see. It will be difficult to negotiate if we take the initiative to deliver them to your door."

Solovikov stared at Chervo with a look of surprise on his face.

Are you really sick?

Didn’t you hear me say it’s a new product? How much can it be produced?

Why don't you communicate and expand the scale to save money for the family? What's wrong with you?

After a long sigh, he still reminded: "Sir, this is a new product and the production is limited. What if someone else orders it first, what should we do?"
