Chapter 599: Visiting the Foundry(1/2)
"It's not okay to have 20 or 30 yuan, and consumers don't believe it. Consumers must upgrade their consumption and have to be expensive before consumers believe that you are a good product. At least 200 yuan, and then let them wash their hair every three days in the instruction manual."
Qin Kong nodded, "I washed their hair and styled them, and they can also keep it for a week. However, the hair will be exposed to a lot of dust, so it is ideal to wash your hair once every three days."
Liang Ange smiled and said, "Teacher Kong, you are selling shampoo!"
Qin Kong smiled, "Otherwise Qin Si would disappear."
"Hahaha……"
"Yunhua has invested so much raw materials and R&D costs. Really good products are cheaper than those that cost a few yuan, and companies cannot continue to do it.
Our bottle of cosmetics is a raw material base, flower farmers, R&D team, production plants, packaging factories, designers, dealers, advertisers, logistics, and shopping malls. It is impossible to support it if it is not as expensive as it is sold!
You have to make money in every link so that others will cooperate with you! And now when you enter the supermarket, you will get a commission of up to 30%. Every time you launch a new product, there will be a fee for listing and miscellaneous fees.
You can only increase the price layer by layer, and finally it comes to the hands of consumers. It’s so expensive. This is the consumption chain. In all these chains, you can’t control others, you can only control the production costs.”
Everyone nodded and Qin Kong sighed, "Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow to see this OEM factory."
"You can bring Ange, I won't feed you."
Qin Kong was speechless, Liang Ange said, "I can't go either. I will take the second grade tomorrow."
Qin Kong looked at her, "Will you take the second exam tomorrow? Then I can't go to Huacheng!"
"You can't help me with the exam!" Liang Ange glanced at him.
"Didn't you learn to drive for a long time?" Qingxiang looked at her, "Why are you taking the second grade now?"
"Where has it been long? I went to study in August. After finishing the first year of the subject, I went to the United States to launch the World Center in a few days."
"Oh." Qingxiang nodded.
"I came back in October, and then I went to a mess again. I didn't learn for a few days."
"The last time Mr. Jin said that he bought back the copyright of the old album..."
"Oh!" Liang Ange sighed, "Dr. Jin and Sister Qiao are helping me pay attention. It seems that there is no movement yet."
Qingxiang nodded.
"But I will get my driver's license as soon as possible during this time."
"Then if you don't go, we can ask a secretary to feed Teacher Qin." Qingxiang looked at Qin Kong, "After all, he is the deputy director! He should be appointed as a secretary!"
Qin Kong smiled, Liang Ange stared at Qingxiang, "Sister Qingxiang, are you forcing me to go with you?"
Several people burst into laughter.
"I don't even want an assistant, what secretary do you want?" Liang Ange glared at Qin Kong again.
"Where is Jiang Ruoli?" Qing Xiang said, "Why don't you follow you?"
"After going online overseas, she went back to Hangzhou and continued to work in media."
"oh."
Several people came out of the hot pot restaurant, and Qingxiang's secretary picked her up.
Just in Li's house, Qin Kong and his friends took a walk home. Qin Kong held his mother on the left and his girlfriend on the right.
Liang Ange raised his head and looked at the silent Qin Kong, "Teacher Kong, what are you thinking? No one is feeding me? Want to find a secretary?"
Qin Fangyun smiled and said, "He dare not!"
"Have I not thought about it? I'm not used to following someone at any time, except..." Qin Kong looked at Liang Ange and held her hand.
He also said: "Now, the funds come from finance to make hair salon products. Although the governor said that it is taken from the people and used for the people, he should not use it indiscriminately for the money of the people of Yunzhou to make new products for us.
Of course it is good to reduce costs. I also urgently need alternative perming and dyeing products. But I took Qinsi to the OEM factory for production..."
"What's wrong?" Liang Ange and Qin Fangyun both looked at him.
“Worry about the formula leak?”
"I'm not worried about the leak of the formula. Mr. Qing said it was very formal. But, just like surrogacy, I always feel that it's not that comfortable to have a layer of belly."
Liang Ange smiled, "I know, Qin Si is like your child!"
Qin Kong sighed, "Tomorrow... let's go and have a look first."
The next day, Yunhua's car came to pick up Qin Kong and met with General Qing, Vice President Han, and Professor Zheng at the airport.
On the plane, Qin Kong said: "When you get there, don't say that we provide the ingredients and formulas ourselves, just say that we want to make hair salon products. See what they can give? What price?"
Several people nodded.
This will also help you better understand the other party's strength and price.
I consulted with Meiqi before, and when I arrived in Huacheng, the account manager of Meiqi Company came to pick him up.
Looking at Qin Kong, he said in surprise: "I didn't expect that Teacher Qin is here too!" and then stretched out his hand.
Qin Kong stretched out his hand, "My hand is injured. I'm fine at home, come out and have fun with them."
"Oh." The account manager nodded, "My name is Cai Xuefeng." He introduced to the other people, shook hands, and took them into the car and headed straight to Maggie.
"I heard that Maggie is the largest hairdressing product OEM factory. The major brands of shampoos on the market are produced by Maggie?" Qing Xiang asked.
Cai Xuefeng nodded and smiled and said, "Well. We are both Ouliya and Fenghua. Some OEM factories only accept big brands. We are international brands and domestic brands orders.
Fenghua has been working with us for more than ten years. It turned out to be our largest customer. Now Khan Gao is our largest customer. Their silk rhyme is what we make. In addition, Ou Liya is our three major customers. And Shihuakou is also what we make.”
"Awesome!" Everyone laughed.
Manager Cai smiled, "Yunhua is so famous now. If you want to make hair washing and care products, you will surpass Fenghua and become a new generation of domestic aces! Moreover, Fenghua has no money to do marketing and can only position itself in the low-end market. Yunhua is different, you can reach the mid-to-high-end market!"
Several people laughed.
"Do you develop your own formula and purchase raw materials, or do you provide you with the formula and raw materials? " Deputy General Manager Han asked.
Manager Cai smiled and said, "Many OEM factories advertise that they have thousands of recipes! I don't tell you that it's false. Shampoo is just that. What's the recipe?
When we arrive at the factory later, every product we make has samples. You choose it yourself and we can make whatever you want."
Several people looked at each other.
I didn't talk much about it in the car, and got off at the factory. It was really a big and modern factory.
Because I only came to visit, I didn’t mobilize many people, and there was only a product manager waiting here.
I was also stunned when I saw Qin Kong, and looked at Qingxiang again. Unexpectedly, these two celebrities also came!
It felt like a big business. I introduced myself to them. After saying hello, Manager Xu picked up his cell phone and said, "I'll let our boss come over."
Manager Cai also nodded.
Qingxiang smiled and said, "No, let's visit first and learn more."
Seeing that they were unwilling to have a big fight, Manager Xu also put down his cell phone.
There are many customers who come to visit, but they are not as famous as them. However, they have cooperated with international big brands, so they take them to visit first according to regular procedures.
Just like a sales center, when you walk inside, you will see a sand table. The first thing they see is the display center.
A whole-sided hair care product is arranged on the product stand, with Ou Liya, Siyun, Shihuakuo and Fenghua all arranged among them.
Qin Kong took a bottle of Ouliya perming and dyeing repair shampoo and opened it and smelled it.
Manager Xu smiled and said, "Did you ask Teacher Qin to be a reference?"
Several people laughed.
"How is it?" Manager Xu asked after seeing Qin Kong put back the shampoo.
"How do you know what to do if you smell it?"
Manager Xu smiled and continued to accompany them to the product stand, introducing: "These are all produced by us, exactly the same as those on the market. Don't worry, they are definitely not fakes!
Those small companies produce counterfeit goods, but they are now being very strict. Companies like ours with fixed customers will not take such risks. So you can rest assured that our quality is absolutely guaranteed."
Qin Kong nodded to Qingxiang.
"Then how much does your OEM cost for these products?" asked Han Dong, deputy director of the production department.
"It depends on what level you want." Manager Xu said.
"What class do you have?"
"If you want to make high-end shampoo, we can get ten to twelve yuan per kilogram. For mid-range, six or seven yuan per kilogram. For low-range, three or four yuan. Order for one thousand kilograms. If you want a few tons, we can get a lower level."
"Do you only have the material body if you have ten, six, and three?" Qing Xiang asked.
"No, no, no." Manager Xu shook his head, "with packaging."
“With package?”
"Yes, shampoos are all plastic bottles, depending on what you want. Generally, use better ones for high-end ones, and use less-end ones. For example, Ouliya's outer packaging is obviously higher than Fenghua! Then the price difference is ten times higher."
"Is there any difference?" Han Dong asked again.
"Haha." Manager Xu smiled, "What do you think is the difference between a few pieces, including packaging? But if you sell it to the market, the difference will be big!"
Everyone laughed.
