693 The tea industry is on the agenda
(Thanks to my friend for the great Feixue 18k reward and encouragement, thanks to my friend Shenghui Red Star monthly ticket)
My little friend has been living a good life recently. Since Lao Liu became a part-time grandfather to take care of his children, the little guy's freedom has increased a lot.
Lao Liu also contacted Harvey and talked about his desire to cooperate with Sunshine Company. After all, the casino also has official shares, so there are some official considerations whether it can invest.
But even Harvey knows that the official will not refuse.
Liu Wenrui is very popular now and needs to do a lot of things. It is also something that everyone likes to see if he gets through other things on his territory. Otherwise, he will not be able to manage the casino well if he is in trouble.
Old Liu is working part-time to take care of his children, and Liu Gong came over from outside.
"My God, Master Liu, have you been busy these two months? Although I am very concerned about the tea, I didn't dare to join you. I'm afraid of bringing pressure to you." Old Liu said with a smile.
"Boss, I dare not join you. But today I have to ask you to cook and arrange a table of good things." Liu Gong also joked.
"Has the process been confirmed?" Old Liu asked hurriedly.
Mr. Liu nodded, "It's certain. Although it's the first time I've come into contact with the black tea here, the whole thing is actually the same. Once you get to know your temperament, this matter will be easy to handle. Anyway, it's much easier than you did when you made instant coffee."
"This is good news. At least, it can be placed in the people in Kalai Town. I don't know much about tea. What kind of quality do you think our teas can have?" Liu Wenrui asked.
"Boss, these teas can be considered to be medium or too high at present. After all, they are all new trees and their temperament has not yet been developed." Liu Gong said with a smile.
"But these tea trees are not bad either, they are very plastic. We have good care and it is hard to say in the future. This is the tea I fried yesterday, please take a look."
Old Liu smiled and waved his hand, "I can't understand it, I've invited you from all over the country, and I just need you to help me check it. After comparing the teas we purchased, what do you think of the quality?"
"Not worse than them, it will be better next year," said Liu Gong.
"What I'm talking about is comparing with their mid-range ones. Didn't I just say that we are too medium-sized. Anyway, if this tea is placed in our country, it will be a loss if it sells 3,000 yuan per pound."
"Boss, I discovered the tricks of those foreign tea bags. In fact, many of the ones you purchased are mixed with tea. What is it? A lot of tea leaves are mixed together. It's not that old people can't get it, but they are actually cheating when they look cheap."
Liu Wenrui nodded with a smile, "Actually, this is the same as coffee. Many coffee companies do this, otherwise how can they be divided into so many levels and developed so many products."
"The tea market in the international world is almost monopolized by those four companies. In other words, our country is a little better, but the prospects are not optimistic. What about here? Not to mention it."
"These four tea factories here are all frantically collecting fresh tea. It's very cheap anyway. Even if they can't handle it on the same day and make the quality worse, it doesn't matter."
"We won't play with them like that, and we won't go to auctions. We will produce and sell our own products and minimize the impact of these four companies on us."
"Old Liu, does it mean that we can produce some seriously now? If possible, what standard is better for us to pick it?"
"One bud, one leaf and one bud and two leaves. Anyway, the yield is small now. You have to find a real skilled worker. Don't pick tea trees too bitterly. They are all new trees, and picking bitterly will affect the yield and quality next year." Liu Gong thought for a while and said.
"How many people are needed?" Old Liu captured the little lion baby who wanted to escape.
"It's worth more than thirty people. I don't know how they are doing with tea picking." Liu Gong said.
"Well, then I'll let Maxica pick out fifty people first. Look at these people when working, and let's change them if they are not qualified." Liu Wenrui said with a smile.
"The labor cost here is very low, but it also has its disadvantages. These people are sometimes too foolish when working. Don't be rude and think their lives are hard, and then fool them."
"Just like the farm work in the farm, after several rounds of screening, those people were selected. If we give us high salaries, they had to do quality."
"The pickers here usually spend about 2,000 shillings per month, and at the harvest period it is about 5,000 shillings. How much does it cost to calculate one day? Not only do we pay enough for our salary, but we also care about food. If they don't know how to cherish this, it's useless to keep it."
"Boss, is it so low?" Liu Gong said in surprise.
"The main reason is that you usually stay on my farm, and then you just tinker with tea. When you have time, you will know if you go outside for a walk." Liu Wenrui said with a smile.
"Actually, at the beginning, my boss and I felt that the money we gave was too little, and we couldn't bear it. But that's not the case. Many people just mess around. When someone watches, they will do it well, and when no one watches, they will play with it."
"Instead of having trouble in the future, it is better to lay a solid foundation now. We also find some people to carefully inspect and accept it. If anyone fools it when he picks it, he will just remove it."
Liu Gong nodded. He really didn't understand these situations.
"Fortunately, the output is not high now, so our power plant can support it. Come on, the power supply will be almost solved next year." Liu Wenrui continued.
"Since, boss, I'll put the tea here, and I'll sort out the work." Liu Gong said with a smile.
"Don't worry, this is also a great event on our farm. I'll call the boss and Masica over and you can have a good time at noon." Liu Wenrui said.
If he had no money in the past, he would have been able to do it. Now he is a rich man, so even if he knows that the quality of this tea is very good, he can still be calm.
I called Maxika and Chen Cheng, and even if Liu Gong was telling jokes when he came, he really wanted to celebrate. But now he is a part-time grandfather, so he has to transfer this meal to Wang Zhonghe and ask him to help him arrange it.
"By the way, people here love to drink tea. After the leaves and buds are prepared, I will pack a small package of one kilogram and put ten of them in it. Then I will send it to Harvey." After the notification, Liu Wenrui continued.
"Yes, but you have to let me go for a few days. I still don't know how efficient these tea pickers are. You also give gifts, so you have to do it well." Liu Gong nodded.
"It can be said that there is another road for money. Even if it is still a path for intestinality, we will turn it into a highway next year." Liu Wenrui said with a smile.
"But our tea factory has to recruit people. Now we can slowly hype it up and expand the scale to make tea bags in the future. You have to keep a close eye on high-end products. Whether we can break out of a way under the blockade of the four major companies depends on whether our products are strong enough."
"Just let's talk about the black teas here in Kenya, in fact, many of them can achieve the quality of mid-range products. However, the price for sale is low-end."
"It's not that people here don't want to sell more money, but that they can't price their products. Without their own sales channels, they have to listen to others. If you don't sell them, you will be broken if you don't sell them."
"At least we have a step back and cannot sell it internationally, so we can sell it domestically first. We can also make some samples to apply for approval from the domestic market. Now Xiao Wang has begun to expand the supermarket channels, and maybe we can go on the market with instant coffee."
Liu Gong nodded, "Boss, do you think you have to slap a lot of good tea here every year?"
"That's the designated one." Liu Wenrui said with a smile.
"In the capital market, African countries are just a raw material procurement place. Otherwise, how can those companies make money so exciting? I am somewhat conscientious, and the price given when purchasing coffee beans is a little higher."
"But in this way, we are under a lot of pressure. Although there is no obvious performance yet, the competition in the terminal market will definitely be very fierce in the future."
"Actually, I am small now, and I mainly make high-end coffee beans. They are too lazy to pay attention to me. These tea leaves are probably the same. When I increase the quantity and scale, I will take me seriously as my opponent."
"Haha, this is what you are worried about as a boss. Anyway, I just want to pick and make tea." Liu Gong said with a smile.
"Can our tea be truly put into production?" Chen Cheng also rushed over.
"It's all right. Master Liu is very confident. We have to handle it." Liu Wenrui said.
"You have to support it with all your strength. In fact, it's nothing, it's just sales channels. I guess I have to count on China at the beginning, and it has to expand here slowly."
"Not necessarily." Chen Cheng said with a smile.
"Our brand is very credible now. With production, we can try it on Amazon. Anyway, our coffee bean sales are growing at a rate of about 10% every month, and I think it's the same."
"Then you can really think about it carefully. Anyway, these foreigners have a high acceptance of black tea, so our milk tea deal must be prepared at that time." Liu Wenrui said.
"Anyway, our tea industry has been opened, so we have to quickly fill in the product line and push it up when those companies are not responding."
"They are so rich. I am confident in competing with them in the high-end areas. The pressure on low-end products is too great. Anyway, this is basically the idea. You can study it carefully."
"Don't worry, the company has already had plans in this regard." Chen Cheng said confidently.
Old Liu was a little surprised. It seemed that the boss was not thinking about getting married all day long.
