Chapter 488 Cost Reduction
If you want to change the flavor, it is relatively simple. In the beverage formula provided, there are a total of more than ten common flavors. If you want to change other flavors, you can simply replace them with other flavors.
Zhao Qingsong did not produce all the flavors at once, but chose three types with the largest audience.
Except for the different tastes of these drinks, there is no difference in the essence of strengthening the body.
Many people will ask how orange flavor and apple flavor are easier to get, and cola flavor, which is a top-secret formula belonging to the two major cola companies, how can you obtain this formula?
In fact, the recipe of Coke is not too mysterious. Now there are tutorials on the Internet to make Coke using local methods.
What really makes the two major cola companies popular in the world is the overwhelming advertising and unique taste, which leads to the popularity of the two major cola companies in the world.
Moreover, the formula contains a complete formula, so there is no pressure on this aspect at all.
Liu Mingyu opened the box, and there were 12 bottles in one box, one bottle of 500 ml, packed in exquisite glass bottles, with an exquisite human body diagram as the wrapping paper, making people know that this bottle of drink is a high-end drink at a glance.
Liu Mingyu opened a bottle. It was his favorite cola-flavored drink.
Liu Mingyu raised his head and took a small sip. The smell of cola and the faint scent of medicine instantly filled his mouth.
Zhao Qingsong looked at Liu Mingyu with hopeful eyes and asked: "Boss, how does it taste?"
He had already tasted the new drink and approved the taste, but when Liu Mingyu tasted it, he also hoped to get Liu Mingyu's approval.
Liu Mingyu didn't say anything, picked up the bottle, raised his head and took a big sip.
Close your eyes and quietly feel the feeling of the drink. The taste of cola is mixed with the aroma of medicine. This is a brand new taste. This taste is not unpleasant, and it even becomes more delicious. This is something he has never tasted before.
taste.
"It tastes very good. A severe coke patient like me can accept it. I think other people who can accept cola can also accept this taste." Liu Mingyu slowly opened his eyes.
Zhao Qingsong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Being recognized by his boss, he felt a sense of pride in his heart.
Liu Mingyu tried two other drinks, both of which tasted pretty good. He chose the one based on the one with the largest number of people.
"What's the name of this drink?" Liu Mingyu put down the drink in his hand. The name of the formula is called Junior Strengthening Formula, but it can't be called this name when selling it. It definitely needs a new name. Junior Strengthening Formula only needs
Just know it yourself.
"Boss, it's just a test product at the moment. It doesn't have an official name yet. Please give me a name from the boss." Zhao Qingsong smiled all over his face. It was better to leave the name to the boss.
Don’t have a name yet?
Liu Mingyu knew that his naming ability was very weak. Most of the time, he would just use whatever name the system provided, without thinking too much about other things.
This time it was similar. After Liu Mingyu thought for a while, he said loudly: "It's better to call it physical fitness."
"What a good name. The boss is the boss. The name he chose is very precise and appropriate." Zhao Qingsong was very supportive.
No, it's not to compliment, Zhao Qingsong really thinks this name is very wonderful.
The name "Qianshen" is taken from the name provided by the system, but it really highlights the role of this functional drink, and it is indeed a rare name.
Consumers may not understand the effects of this drink at the beginning, but after drinking a large amount, the results will be obvious.
This naming method gave Liu Mingyu an inspiration. In the future, he can use the names provided by the system to choose names, which is simple and practical.
In this way, the name of Xingchen Beverage Company's first drink was officially confirmed.
"How much does this drink cost?"
Energy drinks taste good and have good functions, but price is a problem. If the price is too high, many people will not be able to afford it. If the price is too low, the cost may not even be recovered.
"Boss, based on the current production of 100 million bottles per year, the cost per bottle is 2.5 yuan." Zhao Qingsong is very familiar with the data of energy drinks and directly recited the costs.
The cost of 2.5 yuan per bottle is a bit high. This is just the cost of raw materials. If transportation costs, sales costs, etc. are included, as well as some profits, the final selling price may not be less than 5 yuan.
Is the price of 5 yuan high?
It’s quite high, considering that most drinks cost between 3 and 5 yuan.
It’s not that there are no drinks priced at more than 5 yuan. Most of the drinks in this price range are famous brands or brands with low sales volume.
You must know that 5 yuan is the price for an output of 100 million bottles. If the output is increased, the cost can continue to decrease.
Is 100 million bottles too much?
For big brands, it’s really not much. 100 million bottles may be just their daily output.
So 100 million bottles is really not that many.
But for some small companies, this number is also an astronomical figure.
"How much cost can be reduced by continuing to increase production?" 100 million bottles is not Liu Mingyu's goal. His ideal is to surpass the two giants.
"The main reason is that time is too tight. If we continue to increase production, every additional 100 million bottles will probably be reduced by 0.2 yuan." Zhao Qingsong responded.
After hearing this, Liu Mingyu's eyes lit up, wondering if when the production reached 1.3 billion bottles, it would have dropped to free.
Of course, Liu Mingyu also knew it was a joke. The higher the limited number of products, the lower the cost. However, product costs have a limit and cannot be reduced indefinitely.
"How low can it be lowered?" Liu Mingyu asked in a deep voice.
"According to the current supplier, it is estimated to be 1.5 yuan." Zhao Qingsong was already confident about this and quickly answered Liu Mingyu's question.
"It's still a bit high. Purchase some major raw material suppliers to reduce costs as much as possible." Liu Mingyu put forward his own suggestion.
"Okay boss, what about other sporadic suppliers?" Although Zhao Qingsong was the boss of a technology company before, he still understood what Liu Mingyu said. He did not say it out, but left it to Liu Mingyu to propose.
Although the price affected by sporadic suppliers is low, when the quantity increases, the number is also very considerable.
Liu Mingyu waved his hand and said: "No, we can just control some materials that mainly affect the cost. Let's leave some other materials for others to drink soup, but there must be spares. I don't want to be killed when my company's products are popular.
Some suppliers are raising prices and holding their necks."
What Liu Mingyu said is very likely to happen. Although he doesn't want to kill everyone and do all the work himself, he must be careful of others taking advantage of it to raise prices.
