Zhengyangmen: I refuse to be a bootlicker, Su Meng panicked
Chapter 86 What I Noticed
This employee named Feng was an informant assigned by Liu Hexuan to observe the movements of Mingji Food.
At this time, he rushed over in such a hurry. Could it be that Shuo... Mingji has made some big move?
Su Meng immediately asked, "Director Feng, what's going on? Is there something going on at Mingji?"
The man surnamed Feng was originally planning to report directly to Liu Hexuan.
But seeing that Liu Hexuan was speaking on the stage, Su Meng had already guessed something, so she nodded and said directly, "Yes!"
"What?"
Su Meng's uncle's expression changed, and he asked anxiously, "Tell me quickly, what did Han Chunming do?"
"Han Chunming opened three supermarkets in Yanjing City today!"
"Supermarket?" Su Meng and his uncle looked puzzled.
"It's that kind of self-service market! Each one is several thousand square meters! You can buy anything! As soon as it opened, the customers are rushing in today!" The man surnamed Feng couldn't help but say.
"It's a large convenience store!" Su Meng's uncle immediately understood what he meant and couldn't help but sigh, "Han Chunming is really quite resourceful, thinking of opening this!"
"But...what does this have to do with us?" Su Meng's uncle asked in confusion.
"Well..." the man surnamed Feng said with a complicated expression, "I went into this supermarket myself and saw that they not only have Ming Kee instant noodles in buckets, but they also have bagged noodles. Each bag is only 20 cents, and now... they're selling like crazy!"
"What!"
Upon hearing this, Su Meng and his uncle's faces changed color.
Liu Hexuan came down from the stage with a righteous look on his face.
But unexpectedly, he saw Su Meng and her uncle standing aside with strange expressions on their faces.
Next to him was a man named Feng, whom he had arranged specifically to observe the movements of Ming Kee Foods.
Suddenly, Liu Hexuan realized that something must have happened.
He waved to a few people calmly and walked to the office on the side.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as he entered the office, Liu Hexuan asked with a serious face.
"Mr. Liu, it's like this..."
The man surnamed Feng repeated what he had just said to Liu Hexuan.
When he heard the word supermarket, Liu Hexuan just frowned slightly.
Unexpectedly, we have just launched a price war to grab terminals.
Han Chunming actually opened his own supermarket and built his own terminal!
This move was a brilliant one! But Liu Hexuan was not very afraid of it.
The reason is simple. Even supermarkets have limited coverage. As long as their price advantage remains, they can also control other sales terminals.
Even if Han Chunming's supermarket has a great influence, he can catch up immediately.
But then he was shocked when he heard that Mingji Food Factory had withdrawn its packaged instant noodles at 2 cents a bag.
2 cents!
Bags!
This is a completely new food category! The best part is, it's priced at only 2 yuan per bag! That's 5 cents lower than the factory price of their instant noodles in a bucket!
"Old Feng!"
Liu Hexuan asked solemnly, "How many packages of these instant noodles have they released?"
“I’m afraid there are quite a few!”
The man surnamed Feng said solemnly, "We've checked, and the three supermarkets have plenty of stock!"
"In addition, all major wholesale outlets have sufficient stock!"
"In addition, the number of trucks leaving Ming Kee Food Factory today is twice as much as before!"
"Over at the freight station, they say they've added three more train cars for Ming Kee!"
"What!"
Liu Hexuan's expression changed again, and he asked in surprise, "Could it be that Mingji Foods also has a production line for packaged instant noodles?"
"How can this be!"
Liu Hexuan looked horrified: "Where did they get this production line?"
Su Meng silently looked at Liu Hexuan's expression.
Although she didn't show it, her inner shock was the same as Liu Hexuan's.
I never thought that under such circumstances, Han Chunming actually had such a hidden card.
The key point is that there was no sign of this before.
During this period of time, Ming Kee Foods has not shown any abnormal movements.
But just when the Hong Kong journalists were celebrating their success, the real purpose was suddenly revealed.
At this moment, Su Meng couldn't help but see Han Chunming's half-smile and playful expression.
No wonder he hadn't made any move! It turned out that he had been quietly accumulating this move!
Liu Hexuan was silent for a moment with a dark face, then suddenly remembered something: "Can our production line be immediately converted to produce bagged instant noodles?"
"This... is possible, but..."
Su Meng looked helpless. "We asked those two Japanese experts before, and they said that if we want to produce products with different packaging, we have to upgrade the packaging line! We need to purchase the relevant upgraded equipment from their company again!"
Su Meng had also thought about producing bagged instant noodles.
But after the production line was completely purchased, the technical aspects were completely handled by the two Japanese experts.
The entire production workshop not only had to follow their regulations for the production process, but when something went wrong, they didn't even have the right to dismantle it for inspection. Only the two Japanese experts were responsible, and the process couldn't be made public!
"How much does it cost to upgrade the equipment? How long will it take?" Liu Hexuan asked.
Su Meng said, "It'll cost 50! As for the time, it depends on when they can tempt us! It could be as short as half a month or as long as half a year!"
"Just 50 for a packaging equipment modification?" "Why the hell don't you just rob them!" "These damn rubbish!"
Liu Hexuan was so angry that his face turned black.
But he could only grumble a few times in anger. After dealing with each other for so long, how could he not know that this was deliberately strangling you!
But you have no way out because all the technology is in the hands of others.
This is the price they ask for, so if you don't accept it, forget it. If you dare to hire someone else to install and modify the system without permission, they can claim compensation based on the contract and will never provide any technical services again.
In the future, if your equipment has problems, he won’t call someone to repair it!
This is a common method used by Japan to export equipment, and it is the same in Hong Kong.
For a long time, factory owners in Hong Kong have raised many objections to this, but there is nothing they can do!
They have the technology, but they will charge you a lot of money without negotiation! Unless you don’t use their equipment!
But the problem is that if you don’t use his equipment, many things cannot be produced at all.
Therefore, Liu Hexuan chose to emphasize in advance that he should treat the two Japanese experts like masters.
But the question is, how did Han Chunming achieve this with his production line?
Could it be that their technology is his own? Liu Hexuan shook his head! This is definitely impossible!
Instant noodles were born in Japan, and only two companies in Japan can produce this complete production line.
Liu Hexuan had previously conducted special inspections and found that the instant noodle factories in Hong Kong and Taiwan also imported production lines from these two companies.
So how did they do it? Liu Hexuan was puzzled! However, now is not the time to think about such questions.
The emergence of bagged instant noodles means that the existing price war strategy is completely ineffective.
Compared with the 2-cent bag instant noodles, the 4-cent bucket instant noodles have no price advantage at all!
Lower the price further? It’s impossible to reduce it to 2 yuan per bucket!
Liu Hexuan gritted his teeth and said to the man surnamed Feng, "Continue to observe the situation at Mingji. Focus on finding out how much inventory they have! Also, where their production line comes from!"
Then, he turned his head and looked at Su Meng: "Let's speed up the talks with those two Japanese experts and try to keep the price below 200,000."
"They like our antiques, don't they? We can just find some antiques to give them!"
"Boss Liu..."
After listening to Liu Hexuan's plan, Su Meng knew that Liu Hexuan meant to follow suit by launching the bagged instant noodles line and continue the price war with Ming Kee. She couldn't help but hesitate and asked, "Will it be too late for us to launch the bagged instant noodles line?"
"It won't be too late!" Liu Hexuan said confidently, "You don't understand the tricks of those Japanese devils. As long as we get the goods in place, I can guarantee that the bagged upgraded equipment will be in place within a week."
"What about the barreled products?" Su Meng couldn't help but ask.
"Let's focus on producing barreled products for the next few days!" Liu Hexuan actually wanted to purchase a new production line, but this would cost at least several million. For now, his family does not have the authority to support him, so he can only settle for the second best.
"But I still think..." Su Meng still felt that Han Chunming must have some tricks up his sleeve. Liu Hexuan was really taking a risk by doing this!
But Liu Hexuan showed an impatient expression when he heard this: "Su Meng! Believe me, it's just Han Chunming. It's easy for me, Liu Hexuan, to bring him down!"
Seeing this, Su Meng's uncle hurried out to smooth things over: "Yes! Yes!"
"Han Chunming is taking it for granted that he can achieve a surprise victory with a bagged product. Just wait a few more days and let him continue to show his worth!"
As he spoke, he winked at Su Mengkuang.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Su Meng could only sigh inwardly and fell silent.
The reception in the hall.
I saw Liu Hexuan and Su Meng enter the office and haven't come out for such a long time.
Those who attended the cocktail party also keenly noticed something.
At this moment, several people hurriedly came to the door of the hall and looked inside.
It seems like he has something important to discuss with someone.
When the heads of the supply and marketing companies saw the newcomers, their expressions changed slightly.
Hurriedly walked out.
Soon, the visitor told the heads of these supply and marketing companies about the situation.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of several responsible persons changed. They ran back to the cocktail party, picked up their things, and hurried out.
When they left, the others became even more panicked.
Soon, a news spread at the meeting that the owner of Ming Kee Food had opened a large supermarket that was popular all over the city, and had launched a new packaged instant noodles with a retail price of only 2 cents, which had been sold out.
After hearing the news, everyone finally understood why the bosses of Hong Kong Kee were like this and why the heads of the supply and marketing companies were so scared.
All of a sudden, these people's faces changed color.
You know, they have a lot of Hong Kong Kee products in their hands. And now, if Ming Kee's new product comes out...
