Chapter 22 The Business of Herbal Tea in Bags

In this world, there is no Wanglaojiliang Tea.

However, Hong Kong people’s habit of drinking herbal tea is no different from the real world, and there are also various types of herbal tea.

The "medical herbal tea" is more medicinal, and the ordinary herbal tea is more medicinal. The common characteristics are to relieve fire and remove dampness, quench thirst and promote salivation.

In places like Hong Kong Island where the temperature is relatively high all year round, the market demand is huge.

Even after Zhou Wenqiang came to this world, he drank a lot of herbal teas, which were basically the "secret recipes" of each family, and their tastes have their own advantages. However, when it comes to being able to take it and meet the tastes of more people, no one can compare to Wanglaoji Liang Tea. (Add to add points is because they are afraid of being recognized as advertising, so Qidian sometimes appears on the screen.)

After all, Wanglaojiliang Tea has been verified by the taste of more than one billion people and is also the most widely circulated type of tea drinks.

The herbal tea has been cooked for a while. When the dishes were served, Zhou Wenqiang turned off the fire. It was just warm and suitable for the entrance of this weather.

If it is a hot summer, of course you should drink well water or iced herbal tea. If it is a winter, you can drink warm, which will also have nourishing and healthy effects.

Zhou Wenqiang poured two bowls, one bowl for himself and one bowl for Li Jiacheng, so that this greedy guy could digest it.

"Uh, A Qiang, you are so sharp. The dishes are well cooked and you can even cook herbal tea."

Li Jiacheng rubbed his stomach with one hand, picked up the tea bowl with the other hand and drank it gently, nodded and said, "It's not bad, the taste is relatively neutral, not much bitterness of Chinese medicine, and the mellow soup that herbal tea should have. It's sweet, sweeter than many herbal teas I've ever drunk."

Zhou Wenqiang smiled and said, "It's good that it's sweet, even children love to drink it."

Li Jiacheng nodded, drank all herbal tea in a few sips, touched his stomach and took out a briefcase from the sideboard, and took out an account book: "A Qiang, the plastic factory has started operations, and the plastic flowers have also started to be put on the market half a month ago..."

"I said that management is your business. I just need to pay dividends. Don't mess with me with such troubles."

Zhou Wenqiang waved his hand and said, "You don't have to look at the accounts."

If I guess correctly, Plastic Flowers has not really opened up the market in Hong Kong, and it will take time to make money, but with your ability, you should be able to balance income and expenditure at present.

You don’t have to worry about homework. Plastic spending can definitely make money, but it will take at least three to five years to cultivate the market in the early stage, so I’m not in a hurry.”

Li Jiacheng made his first pot of gold by relying on plastic flowers, that's right.

But it will be a matter of a few years later. Zhou Wenqiang invested in Huanghe Industrial Company not for the profit of plastic, so how could he have the heart to look at Li Jiacheng's small account?

"Jiacheng, put down the account book first.

I have something else to talk to you. If the operation is done well, the plastic factory should be profitable soon.”

"It's profitable soon, Aqiang, are you sure you're not joking?"

Li Jiacheng was surprised. Zhou Wenqiang's judgment was the same as him. He saw that it would take at least three to five years to make money by spending plastic.

He didn't know how to tell Zhou Wenqiang about this, but now it seems that he doesn't have to worry at all. Zhou Wenqiang can see it clearly than him!

"When did I laugh with you?"

Zhou Wenqiang smiled and said, "Jiacheng, you run a plastic factory. Have you ever heard of plastic bags?"

He was a chef in his past life, but he was not a chemist. He really couldn't figure out the chemical technology of this world. First, I would like to ask Li Jiacheng, a professional.

"Of course I have heard of it. In 1902, Austrian Max Shuschni invented a plastic bag, but Aqiang, what do you want to do with this?"

"That's good. It's been over 40 years since then. I guess I want a plastic bag that is slightly thicker and has a higher transparency than ordinary goods. You should be able to get it, right?

Also, I need to add some Chinese fonts to the outside of the plastic bag, so there should be no problem with the current technology?"

"Of course it's OK, and the cost is not too high.

According to Aqiang, if you customize in large quantities, the unit price of plastic bags can be reduced to about 0.1 cents per piece, which is about 0.7 cents for Hong Kong dollars."

Li Jiachengqi said: "But Aqiang, what do you want these plastic bags to do?

Nowadays, Hong Kong people do not like Europeans to use plastic bags to pack things. They prefer their own baskets and horse manure paper..."

"I plan to use plastic bags of herbal tea to make herbal tea the first bagged drink in Hong Kong, and I want to build my own brand."

Zhou Wenqiang smiled and pointed to the empty tea bowl on the table: "Jiacheng, didn't you say that this herbal tea tastes good?

I have thought about it. Herbal tea factory is built near your plastic factory. It only boils and produces herbal tea, and the plastic factory is responsible for filling and sealing. This should not be difficult for you, right?"

"The price of sealing machines is not expensive, and the working capital of the plastic factory can still cope with it.

Moreover, the wages of workers are not high now. There are even many workers who only need to take care of their meals and just get a red envelope at the end of the month. The labor is very cheap..."

Li Jiacheng quickly calculated for a while, and suddenly frowned and said, "A Qiang, these are not difficult problems, but the problem is the market!

There are many herbal tea shops in Hong Kong now, and people can drink herbal tea in herbal tea shops. Why do you still buy our bags of herbal tea?

Do you think about it again? People’s habits are sometimes difficult to change.”

"Jiacheng, you just thought about the habit of Hong Kong people drinking herbal tea, but you ignored the portability of bagged herbal tea.

For example, if a child at home is going to school, is it convenient to bring two packs of herbal tea, or is it convenient to run out of the school gate to go to the herbal tea shop during breaks?

Couples are watching movies and Cantonese operas in the theater. If they are thirsty in the middle, should they go out of the theater and go to the herbal tea shop?

besides......"

As Zhou Wenqiang slowly explained, Li Jiacheng's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"And you can't see that large-scale production can significantly reduce costs, right?

What is the biggest cost problem for those herbal tea shops?

I'll tell you.

Now a newspaper only costs one cent, but the cheapest herbal tea costs 5 cents a bowl. If it is in a place like Yau Tsim Mong, it may even cost about 8 cents a bowl!

This is because there are as many or even dozens of Chinese herbal medicines that need to be used in herbal tea. If you cook too much, you can’t sell it. If you cook less, the cost will naturally be high.

With the business of herbal tea shops, no matter how prosperous the business is, the scale is always limited.

At the same time, due to the scale issue, it is impossible to build a brand that can be recognized by the general public!”

Zhou Wenqiang tapped the table gently: "And my bags of herbal tea can completely solve the problem of large-scale production,

As long as the production scale increases, the price of a bag of herbal tea can be as high as 5 cents, and it is easy to carry, allowing customers to drink it at any time!”

"A Qiang, you really shocked me this time.

I have calculated that if we can produce 30,000 bags of herbal tea a day, our cost should be enough to be 20,500 cents per bag. Not to mention selling 5 cents per bag, it is even a four cents a day.

Moreover, this kind of business has little investment in the early stage. Plastic bag packaging can be solved by plastic factories. You only need to rent a factory and hire about twenty workers.

It is best to hire mainlanders who have just escaped to Hong Kong Island. Just pay for food and a small amount of wages, and the labor cost is so low that it is almost negligible!

Without further ado, make money as soon as possible!

After the Spring Festival, we can start preparing. If the speed is fast enough, your herbal tea will be available in March!”

What a character Li Jiacheng is? If Zhou Wenqiang explains this level, he still doesn't understand it, so he will not be the richest Chinese in the future.

Although this is Zhou Wenqiang's own business, the plastic-sealed bagged herbal tea business can ensure that his plastic factory has a steady stream of orders!

And this is also an important step for him to deepen his relationship with Zhou Wenqiang, a business genius, and it is of great strategic significance.

"Well, when the herbal tea factory was first built, I can consider your employment method.

But I still have to persuade you to be a little better to the workers and you won’t suffer any losses!

Don’t always think that they are cheap labor, as this will be of great benefit to the future development of Yellow River Industry.

Jiacheng, you are a smart person, I won’t say anything extra.”

Zhou Wenqiang noticed that Li Jiacheng, who was still in the early stages of his business, had gradually revealed the fangs of capitalists, so he naturally wanted to hit him a few words.

"I understand, I understand."

Li Jiacheng showed a hint of shame on his face, but soon returned to normal. He looked at the tea bowl on the table and suddenly frowned: "A Qiang, there is a problem.

To produce bagged herbal tea on a large scale, it requires a very large sales volume, which means that this business model will rely heavily on sales channels.

If we sell tens of thousands of bags a day, or even tens of thousands of bags, we will have to distribute goods to Hong Kong, Kowloon and all over the New Territories!

But this is almost impossible!

If you establish such a sales channel, you and my current financial resources will not be able to do it at all!"
