Chapter 206 Adding Products
The coconut trees on the south are growing very fast, more than ten meters tall, with straight trunks slid into the sky, although there is no trace of cloud in the space.
This coconut forest forms a shade on the beach. Zhao Mengfei and others often come here to rest at noon or evening to enjoy the scenery of the beach by the sea. The scenery is indeed a bit similar, but there are no beach beauties, no rolling waves, and no boats coming and going, and even no sea breeze.
It never rains or winds in the space. A leaf falls on the ground until the scorching sun drys it and becomes very thin and light. As long as no one moves it, it will stay there forever and will never blow it away because of the wind.
The dry leaves and scattered chicken feathers on the island are always on the island and will never be blown into the water. The water surface is always very clean and there is absolutely no trace of garbage.
Ruyu was responsible for regularly disposing green feed into the water to attract small fish. Now this work has been handed over to Ruyun. The green feed will be eaten completely by the small fish and will never form garbage on the water surface.
The water quality is always so clear, otherwise I would not be able to use it as a source of water to produce mineral water.
Due to the regular release of green feed, the output of fresh fish is very stable now, and the fish basket is full every day, which also gives me the confidence to increase the canned fish production line. If the amount of fresh fish is not enough, I dare not increase it rashly.
Now Fang Gong is leading a team to build a new canned fish automatic production line. I am not on site, so he will call from time to time. The equipment has arrived at the factory and is being installed. With previous experience, the installation speed is much faster now.
In Fanggong's words, if you don't wait for the infrastructure, you can test the operation in one week. The foundation takes time to solidify, and the installation will take as fast as half a month.
In fact, I was more anxious than him. Qiongyang was doing sales and consumed a lot of canned fish, which made many customers’ supply problems now, and there was obvious insufficient supply. Not only did Bai Luoxue call me, but he asked me to get less canned fish first, wait for the new production line, and then increase efforts.
Even Mu Zhiming said the same thing, and even the sales directors of the cannery factory and the salesmen all reported it. This shows how necessary it is to get on the production line.
Half a month later, the new production line can be tested, and this time is still possible. Qiongyang's sales activities will be half a month before they will be transferred to normal wholesale operations. At that time, the required volume will be larger.
The premise is that Chu Xiangyi must find enough merchants to wholesale my products.
At this time, Chu Xiangyi and her team began to take the initiative while doing sales activities.
Later I found out that they found a shortcut. Before the cooperation between Donghai Mineral Water Plant, it had its own sales channels, and there were more than 300 sales outlets in Qiongyang City.
After we cooperated, these outlets naturally began to sell Tiansu Pai mineral water. Due to the special climatic conditions in Qiongyang City, these bottled waters sold relatively largely. Although the price I gave was relatively high, they were also very popular.
80% of the bottled water produced by the Donghai Mineral Water Plant is sold in Qiongyang. Now the sales sales staff of the Mineral Water Plant are controlled by Chu Xiangyi, and these outlets are potential customer groups.
Chu Xiangyi sent her team to take the initiative to contact each other in person to discuss cooperation matters.
Some people have never met this cooperative relationship, and it just hit it off. In just three days, more than 300 outlets signed cooperation agreements to distribute my products.
What they value is the quality of my products, and what I value is their sales ability.
Originally, I wanted to gradually expand the franchise chain store model implemented in Huangtu County. Now it seems that this form of direct wholesale to old customers is faster, and at least saves time and costs.
However, Chu Xiangyi reminded me that to a certain extent, joining a chain store is more trustworthy and operates for longer periods of time, while these sales outlets are not necessarily stable and will always be affected by reasons such or that.
The management of them is loose. Apart from sales interests, there is basically no binding force. Sales performance will fluctuate and fall, difficult to control, and will even be influenced by the emotions of the boss of the outlet. He was happy and opened the door for a day, and closed the business if he was unhappy, which would also affect our sales performance.
In the long run, it is still necessary to promote the franchise chain store model.
Another very important thing is that joining a chain store is engaged in secondary wholesale business, and each store has its own corresponding customer base. This will greatly reduce our workload. This is easy to understand. Just imagine, is it easy to manage 20 chain stores or is it easy to manage 300 sales outlets?
Although these 300 sales outlets were personally contacted by Chu Xiangyi, she dared to put forward such reform opinions. I was moved and handed over this task to her to develop franchise chain stores. These outlets can be inspected and found that they can be upgraded to franchise stores.
Of course, this business is not achieved overnight and takes time.
While Chu Xiangyi and I were planning the sales prospects of Qiongyang, Rufeng called.
"I squeezed 10 barrels of fresh goat milk today. How to deal with it? Are you still continuing to pay benefits to employees?"
Welfare can be distributed, but not every day. As the number of dairy sheep on the island increases, the fresh milk collected every day will also increase. If the welfare is distributed, the fresh milk will not be processed in time. Once it is stored for a long time, it will eventually cause waste.
I have to sell it, which means adding a new product variety. I can't hide this from Bai Luoxue, I have to discuss it with her, after all, she is also in charge of the mineral water plant.
I want to go back to her now, and in order to keep the secret of my space, I have to contact her by phone.
Bai Luoxue naturally knew about distributing fresh milk benefits for employees. When I called her, she did not ask too much questions except for doubting how much fresh milk came from. In fact, she was able to stop many things. She always supported some strange decisions I made and never asked the bottom line.
The Tianquan Mineral Water Plant has convenient conditions for canning fresh milk, so this task was handed over to Tan Chong.
Tan Chong heard that canned fresh milk will become a daily production operation, and he provided a message.
The Diquan Mineral Water Plant had plans to expand production before. There was a set of old filling equipment in the warehouse that could be used with just a repair, and now it is just in handy.
However, due to some technical reasons, they cannot debug now and need to hire foreign aid.
Automatic filling technology is not complicated, so Fang Gong and others happened to be in the canning factory construction. After a call, he sent someone to Tianquan Mineral Water Plant. When he arrived there, the technical problem was solved in just one day and installed it in another idle factory.
