Chapter 99 I Oppose
"You object?" Wu Geng helped his glasses and picked up a chicken foot, "Reason?"
"The reason is that our beer is produced, are there cans for filling?"
Just like the domestic beer industry at this time, the raw materials are built on foreign raw materials, and beer raw materials such as barley need to be imported.
Cans are no exception. There are no can manufacturing companies in China, and the cans need to be imported. The imported cans are expensive. The offshore price in Hong Kong was as high as HK$1.35 per set (including lid).
Although this has stimulated the investment desire of many companies and has been supported by the government from policies to funds, within less than two years from 1984 to 1985, the State Economic and Trade Commission approved the import application for six canned production lines in one go.
However, due to management and technical reasons, these production lines are far from the design capabilities, and the product quality cannot be guaranteed. Although all fully automatic production lines are introduced, the production efficiency is extremely low.
For example, Qinwanmeite Factory has only 40% of its design capacity, and the same is true for other manufacturers.
Since the implementation of the beer special project, domestic breweries have also launched several canned beer production lines. However, these beer manufacturers must use cash to buy cans from the can manufacturer, and even give bonuses to the production line workers in order to arrange production earlier, especially during festivals.
"Besides, in the 1980s, my country's aluminum and cans production had not passed the test, and foreign can packaging was not the main direction of development.
Qin Dong spoke seriously, and Wu Geng listened seriously, "my country's beer packaging is mainly bottled. Judging from the current national conditions, cans are not the direction of development. As a product packaging type, it should be appropriate to develop some, but it is unrealistic to be keen on can beer production."
"Also, according to the domestic consumption level, the price cannot be accepted. If you use can packaging, it will cost 1,500 yuan to pack a ton of beer, which is much more valuable than the beer itself!"
Wu Geng cursed, "That is to say, if we adopt this production line at this stage, there are not so many cans for us to fill. The production capacity of this production line cannot be guaranteed. Lao Chen proposed that the task of double production cannot be completed at all."
Cans of beer are the future development direction, but not now. The development of the beer industry must also follow our country's national conditions, otherwise we will suffer a lot.
"Well, according to our current production level, it is really not advisable to develop too much. Can beer has no advantages except for easy portability. It has high cost and the taste of the wine is not good..."
"Then why is Qin beer packed in cans?" Wu Geng asked again.
In order to meet the packaging needs of its product exports, Qinwan Brewery has successively imported exquisitely printed all-aluminum two-piece cans from Japan, Hong Kong and other places, opening the prelude to the large-scale use of cans in China and also changing the embarrassing situation of Qinbee's beer exported to "first-class products and second-rate packaging".
"Director Wu, the sales of well-known manufacturers are not bad, but ordinary manufacturers are not good. A large brewery has a small line. As a packaging specification, it is very good, but we are not a large brewery. We point to this production line to improve our factory's equipment technology, instead of buying this production line and waiting for the rice to be put into the pot!"
"It seems that we still think it's simple. No, Qin Dong, we want to report this situation to Director Chen immediately..."
"What to report? It's not too late to report first," as he said, Du Yuan walked in with a smile. He was also familiar with Wu Geng. After the two shook hands, Du Yuan pressed Wu Geng to the stool again, "Eat, eat first..."
"Okay, then let's have a meal first," Wu Geng was also generous. "Old Chen might be happy now, so let's let him finish the meal happily. Oh, we still don't have rice in our hands. When the Japanese talk about giving us loans, my eyes lit up when I saw Lao Chen..."
"But you know, what is their loan interest rate?" Qin Dong stretched out three fingers, "Seven percent! Such a high interest rate, let's put it this way, the money we earn from working hard to produce beer will be handed over to them to repay the loan in the future!"
"Isn't this that they are landlords, are we long-term workers?" Du Yuan asked.
"Grandma, these Japanese," Wu Geng cursed and raised his beer, "One bows on the left and the other bows on the right, one gentleman after another, this is using cans as bait, and we are hooking."
However, the Japanese are very detached now, but the city and district are very anxious. Just by Wu Geng and Qin Dong's two mouths, they may not convince Liang Yongsheng, Wang Congjun and others.
Even if the interest rate is high, I may also accept it in front of the can production line. At most, the Japanese will just drop the interest rate a little further.
"There is someone we can try..." Qin Dong smiled, and he raised his eyebrows, "We can call him."
"Who?" Wu Geng asked anxiously.

The night is getting darker.
Morita and Fujino stood in front of the window, looking at the occasional stars outside, and raised the cups in their hands. When the cups met together, they made a crisp sound.
Just like the night scenery of Qinwan cannot be compared with the night scenery of Tokyo at this time, the industry information received by Qinwan people cannot be compared with the Japanese.
"This is the best hotel in the east of Qinwan." Morita looked at the furnishings in the room. They had moved from seamen to the Ocean Hotel. As a landmark building in the east of Qinwan at this time, the city and the district attached great importance to their hospitality.
Imagine that after a discussion with the Chinese tomorrow, Morita was very proud, "There is a saying among the Chinese, "Jiang Taigong fishing, the willing one takes the bait, we did not do the persuasion work, everything was voluntary by the Chinese, Fujino, remember, this is what business is done."
"Thank you for your teachings," Fujino smiled respectfully, "I have learned a lot from this trip to China, Minister, Qin Dong..."
"What's wrong with Qin Dong?" Morita's face did not change his complexion. There was no champagne here. They could only celebrate in advance with a kind of women's champagne produced in Qinwan.
"Qin Dong asked about the interest rate..."
"Oh," Morita smiled, and the grimson in the corner of his eyes shook up and down. "Chinese people will ask this question, but they will pay more attention to the can production line, and they will take advantage of our loans and exchange loans for equipment. They will also take the needs of each. Therefore, I am not going to lower the interest rate, and I don't think they will agree in the end."
"What else did he say?" Morita asked again.
Rongya Brewery was going to launch a 30,000-ton production line project. After several factory leaders went to Shanghai and Guangzhou, they received the news and immediately came from Shanghai to see if the technical transformation of the filling machine was fake and the real money from Qinwan people using loan interest rates!
All of this is carefully designed, and Morita believes that no one will not take the bait!
