Throughout the afternoon, Han Songlin spent time at the company, learning more about the current situation of Han's Marinade. Another issue was the sales of baijiu.
Previously, Han Songlin had asked Xu Lu to use the personnel of Han's Marinade in various places to sell baijiu.
The situation was really good.
'Now, we have more than 100 employees who are dedicated to selling liquor, and sales are not bad.'
Using Han's Marinated Delicacies employees to sell liquor is not a problem in the short term.
But in the long term, it definitely won't work.
Han Songlin: 'How are the liquor sales stores doing in various places?'
'They should be almost finished renovating!'
'Then transfer the people to the liquor sales company!'
In the south, liquor sales outlets now cover most cities.
In each city, the sales outlets not only sell alcohol themselves, but are also responsible for distributing the goods to the market.
Anyway, the more they sell, the more sales commission they get.
The alcohol is delivered to the sales outlets by Fule Liquor, and the sales outlets are only responsible for selling, so they don't need to worry about anything else.
The sales outlets are contracted, and there is a person in charge. Fule Liquor deals with this person in charge, who is in charge of the people below.
Anyway, the more they sell, the more money they make.
If sales fail to meet expectations, the person in charge will definitely be replaced.
For many people, sales is not a suitable career choice.
There is a basic requirement for salespeople: they must not be ugly; they must also be eloquent.
And if you sell wine, you naturally need to be able to drink a lot.
Of course, if you have connections, and can sell wine to companies, that is even better.
In any case, the sales system that Han Songlin had set up so quickly did indeed exert the power that Han Songlin wanted.
Jinliufu Liquor from Fule Liquor Industry was selling quite well.
Zheng Lin said, 'In fact, we can transfer staff to the white spirit sales company, as we said before that the north was losing money.'
Han Songlin patted his head, wondering why he hadn't thought of this before!
'Zheng Lin is right, let's do it!'
Han's Delicacies generally recruited local people.
To sell white spirit, locals were definitely better than outsiders.
In the evening, Han Songlin called the people in the company office to go out to a restaurant for dinner together.
The next day, Han Songlin and Xu Lu went to the production plant of Hans's Marinated Delicacies together.
This production plant is specialised in the production of packaged marinated food.
'Right now, all that's left in the factory is the installation of the machinery and equipment. I estimate that it will be installed before the Spring Festival and production will officially begin then.'
Han Songlin stood in the now slightly empty factory building and laughed, 'Take your time, there's no rush!'
Han Songlin is not sure whether the packaged braised food will be a success.
Because this product is positioned as a snack.
Yes, it is a snack.
Since it is a snack, the customer base is relatively fixed.
Nowadays, adults consider eating snacks like melon seeds to be extraordinary.
The packaged braised snacks are aimed at students.
Individual packs of braised chicken feet, eggs and tofu cubes are definitely affordable for students.
Many children have a lot of pocket money in their hands.
'Can we succeed?' Han Songlin wondered. Could something that would be successful in the future work now?
The emergence of marinated snacks probably had to wait until junior high school.
It seems that a brand called Xiangbala made chicken brains.
At the time, they were delicious.
Han Songlin definitely wouldn't be able to eat it now.
Xu Lu patted the pillars of the factory building, which were made of reinforced concrete and were very sturdy.
'The boss I remember was always full of confidence.'
'Well, I still have confidence, but I also have worries!'
Xu Lu said something else: 'Boss, we need a lot of pork, chicken, ducks and other meats every day!'
'Yes, it is quite a lot! What are your plans?'
'I think we can try to control the raw materials side, which can further reduce costs and increase profits!'
Han Songlin looked at Xu Lu in astonishment: 'You mean, raise pigs?'
'Yes, raise pigs!'
Is it profitable to raise pigs now?
It's profitable to raise pigs at any time, it's just a matter of whether you make more or less money.
'Tell me about your specific plans?'
'At present, pig farming in China is still mainly done by rural households. I think that in the future, large pig farms will become the mainstream. After all, large pig farms will be more efficient.'
Han Songlin laughed and said, 'Large pig farms are indeed a direction. Have you ever thought of a pig farm that raises a million pigs at the same time!'
Xu Lu was stunned!
A pig farm raising a million pigs is not a joke!
But is it really possible?
It seems that it is possible.
'Of course, if we were to do it in the early stages, there's no way we could say we're going to build such a big pig farm. We could start with a smaller one, for example, one that raises 10,000 pigs. We could gain experience raising pigs first, and then slowly expand the scale of farming.'
When he thought about the future price of pork, which could be close to 40 yuan per catty, and Han Songlin had bought it and eaten it, he felt a deep resentment.
Of course, if the price of pork is high, Han Songlin feels that he can endure it.
After all, pork prices can't stay high forever, and there have always been periodic price fluctuations.
One thing that Han Songlin can't stand is that China actually has to rely on the continuous introduction of foreign pig breeds for breeding pigs.
Otherwise, the domestic pig population will experience population decline.
The domestic ownership rate of breeding pigs is less than 20%!
So, when Xu Lu mentioned it today, an impulse instantly came to Han Songlin's mind.
Pig farming!
And from the very beginning, research should be carried out on breeding pigs and developing China's own pig breeds.
Incidentally, a little money can also be made.
'We also need to explore ecological recycling farming. Pig manure can be made into bio-fertiliser and re-entered into the ground for agricultural planting.'
In general farms, manure is said to be fermented in the latrine, and then directly used to water the land.
In fact, this fermentation is not thorough.
In the past, biogas digesters were promoted in the countryside for a while, and farms are particularly suitable for building biogas digesters.
Because there is enough biogas digester material to use.
Xu Lu looked at Han Songlin, who had suddenly become interested, and quickly interrupted, 'Boss, right now we are just an idea, and it will take some time to implement it!'
'We can do some preliminary work first, such as going to the university to cooperate. I think the professors at the university will be interested in this topic!'
Making reasonable use of the intellectual resources in universities is something every entrepreneur should do.
