Chapter 270 Exploded
Lin Yuhang was looking at documents in the office. The contents of the documents were about the adjustment of the factory's production plan and the sales plan reported by the Supply and Marketing Department.
After looking at it for a while, Lin Yuhang put down the information in his hand and rubbed his eyebrows with his left hand.
Due to an eye injury, Lin Yuhang cannot overuse his eyes as he will feel tired after a long time.
After rubbing for a while, he felt a little better, and Lin Yuhang lit a cigarette and started smoking. The new product had been completed a few days ago, and the first batch of products was distributed to various hospitals and pharmacies in Yanjing through the original sales channels of the Eighth Factory.
It was not easy to do this, as the products of Factory Eight had not been easy to sell. As an ordinary and uncompetitive factory, it took a lot of effort for Factory Eight to get hospitals and pharmacies to sell their products again. Even at the suggestion of Song Yuanchao, Factory Eight made a promise to the hospitals that if the products could not be sold within a month, Factory Eight would not only take back all the products, but also give hospitals and pharmacies certain compensation.
It was this promise that reluctantly made hospitals and pharmacies accept the requirements of Factory Eight, thus allowing the products to enter hospitals and pharmacies.
There are two main products this time, one is loquat paste and the other is cough syrup. The contents are still the same, but the packaging is completely different from before.
Both products have been replaced with new packaging, which is the warm cup packaging that Song Yuanchao requested.
The warm cups they used were very similar to those currently on the market, and the quality was not bad, but the liner was different. The liner of the warm cups currently on the market all used a thermos-style glass liner, which has good heat preservation, but the production cost and price are slightly higher, and the glass is fragile, so at Song Yuanchao's request, the liner structure was changed to use a purple clay liner.
The purple clay inner liner is easy to make and inexpensive. It is not as fragile as the glass inner liner and the cost is much lower.
Of course, there is no doubt that the heat preservation of the purple clay liner is far inferior to that of the glass liner. According to tests, a cup warmer with a glass liner can keep warm for more than twelve hours, while a cup warmer with a purple clay liner can only keep warm for about five to six hours at normal room temperature, which is only half the time of a glass liner.
But this actually doesn't make much difference in actual use, because people usually don't leave the mug open for more than ten hours or several hours to drink water. Generally speaking, they will open the mug and drink water every half an hour or even an hour, and add water if it's not enough.
So from this point of view, twelve hours of insulation is not necessary at all, five or six hours of insulation is completely sufficient.
The outer shell of the warm cup is made of plastic. The price of the entire warm cup, from the outer shell to the inner liner, is not high. The price of each cup produced by the Tianjin factory and sent to the Eighth Factory is only three yuan. Adding the shipping cost and the outer packaging cost, the total is only 26 cents.
That is to say, the total cost of using this packaging is 3.26 yuan. The ex-factory price of loquat paste is 1.57 yuan, and the retail price is 1.8 yuan. The ex-factory price of cough syrup is 0.75 yuan, and the retail price is 0.16 yuan more, which is 0.91 yuan.
Now that the packaging has been changed , the ex-factory price of loquat paste has risen directly from 1.57 yuan to 6.25 yuan, and the retail price has risen to 6.85 yuan. As for cough syrup, the ex-factory price has risen from 0.75 yuan to 5.40 yuan, and the retail price has risen to 5.86 yuan.
Such an increase was astonishing. Since the establishment of the Eighth Factory, the medicine had never been sold at such an expensive price. When Song Yuanchao decided to set the price, Lin Yuhang was nervous. Even Old Lu from the Supply and Marketing Department had no idea at all.
Not to mention them, hospitals and pharmacies also thought that Factory 8 was crazy. If Factory 8 had not promised to return the money, they would never sell such expensive products to Factory 8. Now they finally put the goods in, and in a blink of an eye, nearly a week has passed, and there has been no feedback from either the hospital or the pharmacy.
After a long time, he could still keep his composure for a day or two, but it has been almost a week and there is still no news. Even Lin Yuhang is almost losing his composure.
You have to know that this time Lin Yuhang almost bet all of Factory 8's assets on it. For the packaging of these new products, Lin Yuhang invested most of the money on Factory 8's books. If there is still no change, then all this money will be wasted, and Factory 8 may not even be able to pay wages next month.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuhang couldn't sit still. In fact, he had asked Song Yuanchao two days ago, but Song Yuanchao didn't worry about this problem at all. He smiled and said something incoherent to Lin Yuhang. Lin Yuhang still didn't understand this sentence, but seeing Song Yuanchao's calm and confident look, Lin Yuhang felt relieved.
But in the blink of an eye, another two days passed and still no good news came. However, the factory stopped production of other products as requested by Song Yuanchao and invested all its production capacity into the two products, loquat paste and cough syrup.
After finishing a cigarette, Lin Yuhang felt restless. He stood up and walked around the office for a few times. He felt that this could not go on any longer. He had to find out the situation of product sales as soon as possible before he could feel at ease. Thinking of this, Lin Yuhang walked directly to the door without saying a word, intending to go to the supply and marketing department to ask about the situation in person, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable if he kept feeling so worried.
Who would have thought that before Lin Yuhang could reach the door, the office door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Fortunately, Lin Yuhang reacted quickly and dodged, otherwise he would have been hit by the opened door.
"Factory Director! Factory Director!" The person who pushed the door open was Lao Lu, the head of the supply and marketing department. Lao Lu looked flustered as he entered the room and started shouting.
Lin Yuhang's heart suddenly sank. Could something have gone wrong? The product was unsalable? Was it returned? When he thought of this result, Lin Yuhang's face turned extremely ugly.
"What happened, Lao Lu? It doesn't matter how bad the result is, the sky won't fall..." Lin Yuhang tried his best to calm himself, but he felt uncomfortable while speaking.
"The sky is falling? What sky is falling?" Old Lu asked in surprise.
"What are you so flustered about? Is there a big problem? "
"Yes, yes, something big has happened." Old Lu's words made Lin Yuhang almost despair, but his next words made him stunned again.
"Good news! Very good news!" Lao Lu rubbed his hands excitedly and said to Lin Yuhang, "Just now, more than a dozen hospitals and several pharmacies called the Supply and Marketing Department at the same time, asking us to send them loquat paste and cough syrup immediately, and the quantity they wanted was huge. They asked us to arrange it as soon as possible, immediately, and right away..."
"What! What did you say? You...say it again!" Lin Yuhang couldn't believe his ears. Could he be hallucinating?
After Lao Lu repeated it again, Lin Yuhang finally understood that he had not heard it.
"Is this true?"
"Of course it's true. The supply and marketing department's phone is about to explode with calls, one after another. I don't think something is right, so I asked my subordinates to record it. I came here to tell you about this first." Old Lu said happily.
"How much do they want? How much goods do they want to import?" Lin Yuhang grabbed Lao Lu's hand and asked.
Lao Lu was prepared and took out a piece of paper from his pocket: "Director, look, this is the record I just made. It's done! It's really done! Hahaha!"
Lin Yuhang couldn't wait to look at what was written on the paper. When he saw the names of the hospital and pharmacy as well as the quantity of goods they requested, Lin Yuhang was stunned in disbelief at first, and then a burst of ecstasy surged from his heart.
It worked! It really worked! It really worked!
Like Lao Lu, Lin Yuhang couldn't help but mutter that if the facts were not in front of him, Lin Yuhang would have thought he was dreaming.
In an instant, Lin Yuhang suddenly understood what Song Yuanchao had said to him. When Lin Yuhang found Song Yuanchao and asked him what to do next that day, Song Yuanchao said seven words in a profound way, which were "Let the bullet fly for a while."
At that time, Lin Yuhang didn't understand what this sentence meant. What did the bullet mean by "fly for a while"? How long can the bullet fly after it is fired? Are you kidding? But Song Yuanchao didn't explain it, but just smiled and told him not to worry, and he would understand it in a few days.
Now, Lin Yuhang suddenly remembered what Song Yuanchao said, and finally understood the real meaning of Song Yuanchao's words. Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing.
"Director, what are the arrangements now?" Seeing Lin Yuhang grinning from ear to ear, the happy Old Lu couldn't help but ask.
"What else can we do? Arrange the shipment as soon as possible. Ask the supply and marketing department and the warehouse to work overtime today and send the goods over quickly."
"Don't worry about that. I've already taken care of it before I came here. But Director, there are too many orders now. I'm afraid our inventory won't last long. Also, there aren't enough new packages in the warehouse. The rest of the packages need to be delivered as soon as possible. Also, you know about the funds in the factory. This money issue..."
"Yes, these problems must be solved immediately." Lin Yuhang reacted after Lao Lu's reminder. He asked Lao Lu to contact Tianjin immediately and ask them to rush to deliver the warm cups that were ordered later. In addition, the Supply and Marketing Department and the Finance Department should cooperate to negotiate with the hospital and the pharmacy about the repayment. Since the other party is now begging them to ship the goods, wouldn't they be stupid if they don't get the repayment as soon as possible and negotiate the terms?
Lin Yuhang was aware of this. Thinking of this, he looked at his watch and quickly called the director of the factory office using the internal line, asking him to notify the deputy factory director, the directors of each workshop, including the finance department, to immediately summon the deputy factory director and other departments to the conference room, and to hold a factory office meeting ten minutes later.
After Lao Lu hurriedly left to prepare, Lin Yuhang's previous worries were swept away, replaced by excitement and excitement.
There is finally hope for Factory 8, and it can finally survive!
The new product was a huge success, giving Factory Eight new hope. Although it was not known how long this sales situation could last, according to discussions between Song Yuanchao and Lin Yuhang, there would be no problem with a peak sales season of at least three or four months.
Without mentioning anything else, as long as the company can make good use of this period of time, the Eighth Factory will not only be able to clear out all its inventory, but will also be able to gain huge benefits, thus bringing the Eighth Factory, which is already on the brink of death, back to life.
