"Yes, it is said that there are about 40 million." Marsh nodded.
Li Qing smiled and said: "This is not a small amount. The other party is really a rich second generation. He can easily get 40 million in funds."
Ma Xu shook his head: "Although I don't think it is credible, the background of this Xu Xiaoming is real, and he is indeed Xu Zhiming's son."
Li Qing remembered something and asked: "Is this Liu Laoji herbal tea already on the market?"
"Not yet, but I have a sample they sent. Do you want to try it?" Marsh said with a smile.
Li Qing was really interested and asked Marsh to bring over a sample of Liu Laoji herbal tea.
The product was packaged in a green plastic bag, which was very crude, with the words Liu Laoji Herbal Tea printed on it. Li Qing took one look at it and stopped looking at it**.
Putting aside the quality of the product, the packaging alone is simply appetizing. Even with Li Qing's current worth, he would never drink something like this that seems to be of unknown origin and crudely made.
With 40 million in entrepreneurial capital, you can’t even make a packaging bag?
Li Qing was a little suspicious.
After taking the herbal tea bag, Li Qing directly opened a hole, inserted a straw into it, and tasted it for a while, and his eyes immediately opened.
Damn, this really tastes like Wong Lao Kat herbal tea.
It's just a different last name...
Ma Xu saw Li Qing's expression was different, and said with some embarrassment: "The taste is a bit sweet, and we northerners may not be used to it, but according to Xu, this herbal tea has the effects of cooling, dispelling fire, clearing away heat and detoxification. Compared with Liangbaikai, it is still better
It has certain edible value.”
Li Qing turned the plastic bag over and saw the main raw materials on it: plumeria, chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, licorice, grass jelly, prunella vulgaris...
Li Qing thought for a while and then said: "You make an appointment with the other party. I want to meet this Mr. Xu."
Ma Xu was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions. After nodding in agreement, he immediately went to talk to Xu Xiaoming.
…
Xu Xiaoming was wearing a white vest, sweating profusely and standing under the scorching sun, holding a plastic fan in his hand.
Compared to the north, weather in Guangdong gets hotter quickly, and it’s still humid and hot, heating up the heart and lungs.
After entering May, the scorching sun shines in the sky, and the locals quickly put on cool clothes. Some office workers who are running business are tired after a day and have dry mouths, so they will go to several herbal tea shops nearby.
Drink a bowl of herbal tea.
At this time, Xu Xiaoming was standing in front of several herbal tea shops, watching this scene.
His expression was a little bitter.
Not long ago, I ran back to the capital to ask for start-up funds from my family, and I did receive the funds. However, compared to the 40 million that I boasted in front of Marsh, this amount of funds was indeed ten times less.
Only four million.
And it’s still two full years of entrepreneurial capital.
Within two years, it will be basically impossible to get more funds from my family.
His father, Xu Zhiming, paid no attention to Xu Xiaoming and gave all his concern to his eldest son, Xu Daming. He was able to get four million yuan only with the help of his mother.
Xu Xiaoming's original plan was to obtain at least 20 million in funds so that the start of Liu Laoji Herbal Tea would not be too miserable.
However, plans cannot keep up with changes.
Now, with four million yuan in capital, plus the original more than one million yuan, Xu Xiaoming has a total of five million yuan in hand.
If these five million yuan were used to build a factory, it would be too tight. The subsequent series of actions such as production equipment, worker recruitment, raw material procurement, etc. would also be basically impossible to achieve.
Therefore, Xu Xiaoming finally decided to rely on the biopharmaceutical factory he had signed before to achieve production. Although the location was remote and crude, it was still capable of production.
The five million in funds in his hands were used by Xu Xiaoming to purchase production equipment, raw materials, recruit production workers, etc.
In the past half month, Xu Xiaoming has been busy working on these things.
But when the factory began to take shape and was ready for production, the problem of product packaging arose again.
Let’s not talk about the packaging specifications. The packaging design alone is not enough for microfiltration. It can be done for a few thousand yuan, but the product packaging requires Xu Xiaoming to pay a large amount of money.
In terms of packaging materials, there are a total of five materials for Xu Xiaoming to choose from.
Decibel paper aluminum-plastic composite film, plastic composite film, plastic container, metal container, glass container.
Needless to say, there is no need to mention the first two. Many drinks on the market that cost less than 50 cents are basically packaged in this way.
Including the "Shen Nong Baicao Tea" that Xu Xiaoming drank outside the Guangdong Airport before. This type of material has good sealing properties, low cost, and is very convenient to transport and carry.
The so-called plastic containers are actually plastic bottles. The common ones are PET bottles, which have high barrier properties, certain mechanical strength and air tightness. They are an excellent choice for purified water and mineral water that cost one yuan a bottle.
In fact, none of the above types of packaging materials are what Xu Xiaoming likes.
He is interested in metal containers and glass containers.
Because only these two packaging materials can make the product look high-end, and can be consumed by middle- and lower-income people. They can drink it themselves or give it as gifts.
Among them, metal containers generally have excellent barrier properties and light-shielding properties, which can give packaged beverages a long shelf life.
However, if transported improperly, the product will be extruded and deformed to a certain extent, resulting in poor chemical stability.
The characteristics of glass containers are good barrier properties, airtight, heat-resistant, pressure-resistant, cleaning-resistant, and can be sterilized at high temperatures and stored at low temperatures. The disadvantages are that they are difficult to transport, heavy in weight, easy to break, and have poor printability. They are often used to package fruit tea.
, jujube juice and other drinks.
If possible, Xu Xiaoming really wants to use two packaging materials, metal containers and glass containers.
Not only is it highly safe, it will also be easier for people to accept when promoting it in the future, and it can also reflect the value of the product.
Just imagine, if one day Xu Xiaoming introduces his products to the outside world and takes out products packaged in plastic bags or glass packages, which one is more attractive?
The answer is obvious.
But now, after going through a series of actions such as worker recruitment and machinery purchase, Xu Shi has returned to the original state of financial stress. Now, after going round and round, he only has more than 200 available funds in his hands.
Ten thousand.
What can you do with more than two million?
Moreover, part of it will be used for TV advertising and spokespersons...
Xu Xiaoming had a headache when he thought of the spokesperson.
Now he regrets very much that he was so ambitious in the past. The product may not be able to save people's lives, so why should he find a spokesperson?
In the end, Xu Xiaoming gritted his teeth and decided to start the most original design and return to the original material of paper-aluminum-plastic composite film, which is the kind of low-quality drink packaging that costs 50 cents and can be torn open with one bite.
However, when the first batch of products was produced, Xu Xiaoming was completely devastated.
Nowadays, the Sanwu product herbal tea on the market in Guangdong is only 50 cents a bag. Not only is it high quality and low price, the taste seems to be exactly the same as Liu Laoji herbal tea.
So, why do you, Xu Xiaoming, sell a bag of Liulaoji herbal tea for 1 yuan and 51?
