Lei Hu was sitting in the lounge next to the warehouse, eating snacks provided by the company while waiting for his coworkers to load the goods into the truck.
Through the large glass wall in the break room, you can clearly see the workers carefully loading boxes of canned drinks onto large freight trucks.
I couldn't help but count them silently, and I couldn't help but secretly click my tongue.
In just a short time, the drinks loaded into the truck were probably worth tens of thousands. It was really an exaggeration.
Even though I have driven the truck myself several times, I can't help but feel uneasy every time.
This was also the first time he saw a canned drink that cost 20 yuan a bottle.
What's exaggerated is that every time the drinks are delivered to the store, they can be used up in less than half a month, which costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Of course, he did not deny that this drink was indeed good.
That is to say, the factory only produces on a small scale. Otherwise, the factory may not be able to make a lot of money just by selling this somewhat special drink.
"Huzi, the drinks have been served, you can drive them there!"
At this time, the squad leader who managed the warehouse typed out a list on his office computer and called Lei Hu over to sign and leave.
Lei Hu emptied the snacks in his hands in a few mouthfuls without rushing over to sign for them. After checking that the quantity and weight of the drink packages were correct, he went over to sign for them and drove away.
Speaking of which, the factory owner is really willing to spend money.
Such a small factory, with an annual output of only hundreds of thousands of bottles of drinks, actually uses computers for all its work, and even hired college students from the provincial capital to set up a local area network.
We even spent a lot of money to establish a quality management system.
Convenience is indeed convenient, but it also reduces many opportunities and gaps for people below to sneak around.
Lei Hu's driving skills were quite good. He drove the freight truck steadily out of the factory and was soon on the road to the city.
The factory is not far from the city, but within half an hour, he drove the car to the storage area of the comprehensive store.
I reviewed the list with the staff here and helped unload the goods together after the handover.
"Why do I feel like more and more people are buying this drink?"
Lei Hu became familiar with the employees in the storage area of the general store. He spoke very directly and expressed his curiosity.
"That's a drink that costs 20 yuan a bottle. Are there really that many people buying it?"
"You don't know this!"
While unloading the goods, the employees here explained with a smile: "The college team relies on this to replenish energy!"
"Right now, they are all famous figures in the college. Naturally, their teammates from the second team and the football club will imitate and learn from them. Those people who are engaged in sports are not allowed to keep up?"
"Having said that, although the price of this thing is not low, the effect is quite good. It is quite normal for the sales to increase!"
At this point, the guy who spoke showed an envious look and whispered: "Don't you know, Tiger? The guys from the college team and the second team have all signed professional contracts at this time, and one month's salary can be as much as ours for half a year."
Even for several years!”
“If you have money in hand, naturally you don’t care about the expense of buying drinks!”
"Is this how much money you can make by playing football?"
Lei Hu was surprised. Because he had joined the army early, he was not a football fan and was not interested in things in the football world.
However, as the training period ended, he often drove over to deliver goods, and naturally he heard about the college team.
As for the scenery of the college team, I will naturally remember it in my heart after hearing it for a few times.
"of course not!"
An employee who manages warehouses in a comprehensive store laughed and said: "At least I have to be kicked out so that I can get a professional contract!"
Speaking of this, he patted the box full of drinks and said leisurely: "Besides, this thing is not just a drink, it is a health product!"
"Compared with the brain gold that is so widely publicized, the effect should be much stronger, but the price is quite affordable, so it won't feel exaggerated if you think about it this way!"
Lei Hu nodded in approval. As an internal employee, he had also tasted this kind of drink that was applied as a health product.
The effect is naturally quite good, as the second boss said jokingly, just like the legendary Shiquan Dabu Decoction.
Of course, that is in a diluted and diluted state.
After drinking 500 ml, which is a pound of drink, a warm feeling appeared in my stomach soon, and then quickly spread to the whole body, which was as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring.
Lei Hu also made an even more surprising discovery. When he followed the second boss's request and strengthened his exercise shortly after drinking a drink, he was surprised to find that the hard qigong he practiced in the military showed signs of improvement.
There are many strong men in the army, and there are also many martial arts in the army.
As long as you are willing to study hard, there will be no barriers or joints.
Of course, martial arts in the military are all hard skills, and it is easy to cause irreparable damage to the body due to excessive exercise.
The same is true unless you are truly gifted.
Or there may be another inheritance that can alleviate or eliminate the side effects of practicing martial arts in the military. Otherwise, there will be very few strong men in the military who can practice hard qigong to the peak level.
Lei Hu was just starting to practice, and at that time he felt that it was too much.
Unexpectedly, drinking a few bottles of drinks that are approved as health supplements, and digesting and absorbing them through exercise, can actually make some progress in hard qigong, which has not made any progress for a long time, and is even regressing. It is really incredible.
"Nothing surprising!"
The second boss, who was already familiar with it, listened to his sigh and said disapprovingly: "The nutrition contained in a bottle of drink, according to my boss, is at least equivalent to ten sumptuous meals of meat and fish!"
"The key is that the nutrients in the drink are easy to absorb. It's not easy to absorb and digest ten large meals of fish and meat!"
Lei Hu still agrees with this point, after all, the effect is there.
Unfortunately, he has been retired for almost a year now. If he were still in the army, he would probably be able to squeeze into the special forces just by relying on this nutritious drink.
Of course, he just thought about it. With his family's financial conditions, he couldn't afford it at all. Twenty yuan a bottle was only an internal price, and it was only supplied to college team players.
What makes Leihu confused is that this drink is only sold in general stores, and there is no idea of expanding its sales scope.
But even so, the factory also made a lot of money relying on purchases from college athletes and fashionable students.
After all the goods are unloaded and handed over, there is still about an hour of free time.
Lei Hu did not continue chatting nonsense with the employee in charge of warehousing in the general store, but strolled to the front of the store.
The business of the general store is quite good, and people are coming and going in a prosperous manner.
I walked in and took a casual look, and most of them were students buying real drinks.
The factory not only has functional drinks with an ex-factory price of 21 bottles, but also normal drinks with a can of 5 yuan, which contain certain nutrients and are suitable for ordinary people to drink.
By the way, according to the second boss, a can of energy drink that costs 20 bucks is not suitable for ordinary people who do not exercise much.
Drinking too much of that stuff can easily lead to the problem of overnutrition, which can lead to more than just gaining weight.
For this reason, both the factory and the store maintain a very cautious attitude towards the sale of functional drinks.
It is understandable that if drinking too much energy drinks causes physical discomfort, the person who caused the problem will not care about the repeated instructions and reminders from the store staff when purchasing, and will only blindly hold the store or manufacturer responsible.
Human nature is like this, Lei Hu can still figure it out.
I heard that the store carries out very detailed personal information registration for buyers of functional drinks, and sometimes even needs to provide a health certificate or physical examination report, otherwise they would rather not sell it than cause trouble for themselves.
I have never seen anyone doing business like this. Isn’t it just pushing money out in vain?
However, the more solemn the store is, the more customers will want to buy functional drinks. Especially after feeling the benefits, they will not easily cut off the supply.
I heard that the scalper price of a bottle of energy drink has exceeded thirty.
It can only be said that fortunately, the production volume at the beverage factory is not large, and it has undergone strict electronic network management, so employees are not given the opportunity to engage in small tricks in private.
Otherwise, I'm afraid the losses at the factory will be so high that the boss can't bear it.
At this time, it is reflected that the factory basically only recruits veterans, and the benefits are those who have recently retired.
He has strong discipline and has not been contaminated by some bad habits in society.
If you really do not follow the rules and have a bad reputation, the armed forces departments in various places will not easily recommend you, and you will have to pay a certain guarantee liability.
Maybe, just because of a mouse poop, the boss may reduce the number of veterans in that area when he continues to recruit workers in the next few years.
That's no joke. Lei Hu knows how hard it is to find a job that pays well and is stable right here in his hometown.
Don't look at those who go to the south to work. They boast about how wonderful it is there. It seems that there is gold everywhere, and they can make a fortune directly in the past.
According to what the second boss said accidentally, the environment there is not friendly to ordinary migrant workers.
The point is, if your boss deducts your wages or even refuses to pay them directly, there is really nothing you can do for a while. You can't really not take your own life seriously, right?
Migrant worker, a title that sounds harsh to Lei Hu, carries with it the superior and condescending attitude of city people.
The saying that people are cheap when they leave their hometown is not a joke.
"Hey, it's Thunder Tiger!"
Just as Lei Hu was wandering near the general store, a familiar voice suddenly came from not far away. He turned around and saw that it was the second boss who was too young.
Seeing the second boss waving to him, Lei Hu trotted over directly, with a warm smile on his face. He was still some distance away and shouted: "Boss, is there anything you want me to do..."
It's not a matter of fawning, but of respect for the strong, which he values especially as a soldier...
