Chapter 7 Purchasing Wine Bottles
·
Zhui Zhu Meng Xiang De Zhu
After solving the wine problem, all that's left is to find the packaging.
If you want to sell wine well, you have to sell it at a high price.
The quality of this packaging must not be bad.
But Yue Hao was really stumped as to where to find a suitable manufacturer for producing glass bottles.
This is not the future, where you can buy whatever you want by searching on Taobao.
Ping'an County is a major wine-producing county. Although there is no shortage of manufacturers specializing in the production of glass bottles in the county.
But the problem is that now the private economy has just begun to take off, and these manufacturers, without exception, all have the prefix "国" (国 prefix).
Want to purchase for your private small workshop?
Feel sorry!
No one will even look at you.
Don't look at the poor management of those factories themselves.
But the style is the same as that of the supply and marketing cooperative, which is known as the three difficulties.
The door is difficult to enter, the face is ugly, and things are difficult to do.
If you don't have a recommendation from a serious employer, the old guard at the door won't let you in.
Fortunately, Fan Aihua, a guy who had been corrupted by the sugar-coated bullets of capitalism, gave Yue Hao a letter of recommendation from Zhang Factory.
Of course, as the saying goes, the king of hell is easy to mess with, but the devil is difficult to deal with.
Before going to the factory, Yue Hao bought a few more packs of cigarettes, although they were not good ones.
But no matter what era, there is one rule that remains unchanged.
Smoke is the stepping stone, wine is the catalyst.
The glass factory that Yue Hao went to was only five miles away from the winery, and it only took ten minutes to ride there.
Seeing Yue Hao park the [-]-inch bar at the factory gate, the old guard immediately showed a vigilant expression on his face.
"Which unit do you belong to?"
The words sounded normal, but the tone was quite unkind.
The main reason is that today Yue Hao is dressed in coarse linen clothes. He doesn't look like someone who comes from a serious factory.
Yue Hao looked down at his clothes with a wry smile on his face.
It is true that people depend on their clothes.
Yue Hao took out the letter of introduction issued by Fan Aihua, and at the same time passed a pack of cigarettes respectfully and said with a smile.
"Uncle, I'm from Dahe Village. I came here this time to buy a batch of wine bottles for the factory. Can you help me give some guidance?"
Yue Hao knew very well that in this era, doormen were not the kind of labor dispatchers in the previous life, and they had no status at all.
These days, the janitors in the factory are all officially employed, and they are truly national workers.
Without any background, don’t even think about having such a leisurely job!
Moreover, the doorman knows the situation of the factory the best, no one else.
You don’t even need to ask the financial officer to know whether a factory is profitable or not, you can just ask the doorman directly.
After all, they know better than anyone how many trucks and goods the factory hauled away last month.
Therefore, Yue Hao was extremely polite to the doormen of this era.
As soon as he got the cigarette, the man at the door didn't even look at Yue Hao's certificate, and his frown suddenly relaxed.
"Young man, you are really good at doing things for your young age."
"Okay, then I'll have a talk with you. Our factory's performance hasn't been very good lately. The factory director and others are going crazy with worry, hoping someone can come over and place an order."
"However, an order has been canceled recently. The factory has a large number of goods and funds are very tight."
"The Chinese New Year is about to come, and the leaders all hope to make a big deal to celebrate the New Year, you know."
While talking, the guard winked at Yue Hao, but almost didn't say directly that your order is not big enough, so the factory director may not be willing to pay attention to you.
But Yue Hao's heart sank.
Seeing that Yue Hao was silent, the guard uncle thought it was Yue Hao who didn't believe him and was a little angry. He pointed at a wine bottle on the table in the guard room and said angrily.
"It's just this wine bottle. It's so fancy that the factory has a backlog of [-] bottles. So much money has been spent on materials. Director Wang's hair in the sales department is almost turning gray."
When Yue Hao's eyes fell on the wine bottle, his eyes moved.
In future generations, the design of this bottle will definitely be one of the bad ones.
But in this era, this design seems very novel.
It's a bit like Moutai's design, with a big belly and a small bottle mouth, but the bottle body is transparent.
Yue Hao took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. The material was very thick, and he could tell that real effort had been put into it.
"Uncle, why didn't the person who originally ordered this bottle not want it?"
Yue Hao asked seemingly unintentionally.
"I don't know. I heard that it's because the cost of making wine bottles is high. I'm afraid that no one will buy the wine because the price is too high, so I didn't even ask for a deposit."
The guard replied casually.
"Do you know the price of this kind of wine bottle?"
Yue Hao pretended to be calm on the surface, but he was happy in his heart.
He was afraid that the bottle was not good. As a reborn person, he certainly knew the futility of blindly engaging in price wars.
The design of this bottle is exactly what he wanted!
Of course, you must ask for the price first to avoid being slaughtered like a pig by the people in the factory.
"It's like eighty cents a piece, young man, why do you ask?"
When the uncle said this, he felt a little wary and asked.
"Are you here to buy something?"
Yue Hao knew at a glance that the uncle had misunderstood something, and he quickly laughed and said.
"Of course I'm here to buy things. Otherwise, why would I give you cigarettes and chat? Uncle, please give me some directions. I'll go find someone to talk to you about purchasing."
The uncle was still a little confused, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that it was indeed such a gift, and pointed to a row of brick buildings in the factory.
"The second room in the second row is the sales department. To buy wine bottles, you have to talk to Director Wang."
"Thank you, uncle!"
Yue Hao walked into the factory with a smile. Of course, now he no longer has to customize any wine bottles.
He felt that he could eat the unused wine bottles in the factory!
Although the bottle was definitely a little worse than the design he expected.
But it is much better than the [-]% wine packaging bottles on the market.
The most important thing is that now the factory has it in stock, which can save him a lot of time!
Just when I walked to the door of the sales department room, a middle-aged man in his 30s with glasses walked out.
The man was slightly startled when he saw Yue Hao.
"Boy, who are you looking for?"
"Hello, comrade, I would like to find Director Wang from the sales department."
"Oh, hello, I am Wang Hao, who are you?"
Wang Hao looked Yue Hao up and down, suspicion flashed across his face, making sure that he had never seen Yue Hao before.
Yue Hao had a peaceful smile on his face and looked very calm. This scene made Wang Hao even more curious.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that there was something different between this young man and the others, but he couldn't tell what the specific difference was.
"Hello, Director Wang, I'm from Dahe Village. The factory can customize wine bottles. I came here specially to ask how to purchase them."
Director Wang's eyes lit up when he heard that he was here to purchase goods, and a smile appeared on his lips unconsciously.
"Oh, boss, I'm going to invite you here, I'm going to invite you here, and you're even asked to make a trip in the middle of winter. The hospitality is not good, and the hospitality is not good."
Yue Hao was amazed in his heart.
Who said that big companies only look at people through their nostrils?
These people who have sales tasks on their backs must smile to welcome people in any era.
Look, Director Wang’s attitude is not much better than that of the old man at the door?
If you want to sell wine well, you have to sell it at a high price.
