6 Chapter VI Setting Price

Boiled fish balls in water!

A pot of boiled water, do not put any condiments, put the fish balls in, and simmer.

Dong Xiaorou didn't dare to cook more, only put five fish balls in the basin, fearing that it would not taste good and cooking too much wasted.

"How long does it take to cook?"

Li Zhi looked at the time, pondered and said: "I guess it will be enough to live in boiling water for five minutes!"

The small room next door is not too big, about 20 square meters. It used to be an office in a factory. Now, with the bed and some miscellaneous things, it doesn't look spacious.

Conditions were not good. The gas stove was placed on the ground. Dong Xiaorou took the iron basin from home. The two squatted around the iron basin, watching the water inside boil, putting the fish balls in, counting the time.

"Five minutes here!"

"Take it out and taste it!"

"Oh, don't stick with chopsticks, it's not that there is no bowl!"

Eating fish meatballs in your mouth is different from eating raw, without adding any condiments or additives when making them. It is very slippery when you eat it in your mouth. It has only its own umami flavor, which is better than any food that has been eaten before. A kind of meatballs, all delicious.

"What do you think?" After Li Zhi bit the whole fish ball in his mouth and swallowed it, he turned to look at Dong Xiaorou and asked.

Dong Xiaorou nodded: "It's delicious, I don't know the taste of others, anyway, I like it very much!" He said, I picked another one, or put another one with chopsticks, opened my mouth and bit, although the fish balls Without any seasoning, it is not difficult to swallow. The umami taste of the fish itself is enough.

Li Zhi didn't grab it from her, the fish balls were still being produced, and they wanted to eat as much as they wanted, but this scene is not always happening.

Ten years or more, Li Zhi recalled that today, it still seemed like the next day, there was a woman who squatted in front of the gas stove with him, boiled fish balls, waited eagerly, and looked so happy in every move.

People will only know who is by your side only if they fall down once.

"I think our products should have a good market response." Dong Xiaorou turned off the gas stove, and five fish balls made her eat four. Li Zhi didn't let her or grabbed it.

"Do you have any ideas?" Dong Xiaorou asked, looking at Li Zhizheng.

"Do you mean?"

Dong Xiaorou closed her long hair behind her ears and said, "If fish balls are processed, they will only make money if they are sold. There is no problem with the production line in the factory and they can already be produced. Now, should we think about how to sell fish balls? Up?"

"Sell?" Li Zhi scratched his head and said with a smile: "It's not easy. Take it directly to the market and sell it. The fish balls we make taste so good, don't you worry that no one will buy it?"

"..." Dong Xiaorou felt that her young boss was a little idiot, and she shook her head and said, "Take it to the market, how can you sell it? Wholesale or retail, how much is the price, how much can you sell in a day, do you think it tastes good? Agree, have you thought about all this?"

"I never thought about it!" Li Zhi made Dong Xiaorou say a little dumbfounded, selling a fish ball, is there so much to say?

Dong Xiaorou looked like'My old lady lost to you', and coquettish rolled her eyes, and said with a wry smile: "With you, you didn't prepare anything to start this factory. Do you want to have a family?"

Li Zhi wanted to answer her very much, you just have a family, if you really want to be a family, let you be a foot warmer.

Dong Xiaorou didn’t give Li Zhi a chance to speak, she thought about it and said, “We need to set a selling price for the fish balls manufactured in the factory. Before setting the selling price, I need to know the daily production volume of our factory and the cost of making fish balls. !" Raising his head, looking at Li Zhi and asking: "Big boss, tell me these things, is it all right?"

"No, of course not!" Li Zhiqian smiled. If it weren't for her, Li Zhi could only blindly do it blindly, cross the river with his trouser legs, step by step, and there is at least a personal discussion now."You know so much!" Dong Xiaorou felt that Li Zhi was not like a woman in a small fishing village.

Dong Xiaorou snorted and mumbled: "Nonsense, I'm a college student who graduated from the Department of Business Management."

Not on this topic, I gave Li Zhi more opportunities to chat, and then he said: "Don't talk about these useless, let's talk about the processing and manufacturing capabilities of our factory, that is, how many fish balls can be produced in a day!"

Li Zhidao: "Theoretically, the processing plant can run 24 hours a day, but every other day, that is, 24 hours, the machine needs to be shut down for three hours for cooling and maintenance. If the raw materials are sufficient, it can produce 15 fish balls per minute. The weight of a fish ball is 0.5 tael, which is 25 grams..."

Before Li Zhi finished speaking, Dong Xiaorou frowned and interrupted his words: "If you produce 15 fish balls in one minute, 375 grams weighs less than one catty, and 45 catties in one hour, if you produce it at full speed in one day. In 21 hours, it was only 945 jin, which is more than 470 kg."

The output of less than 500 kilograms a day is completely lower than Dong Xiaorou's budget, but it is right to think about it. It is not a factory at all, at best it is a small workshop that can produce fish balls.

"The price of fish balls on the market is about ten yuan a catty, and the wholesale price is about five or six yuan!" Dong Xiaorou calculated and asked, "How many fish balls can you get for a catty of fresh fish?"

"500 grams of fresh fish produces 280 grams of fish balls."

The formula was not calculated by Li Zhi, but directly given by the'Nebula i9 Smart Factory System' in his mind.

"50%? The price we buy fish today is two bucks and one jin. You only pay more than one jin of fish meatballs for two jins of fish. The raw material cost is almost five bucks, plus labor, electricity, plant, and mechanical losses. Wait, the fish meatballs cost six yuan a catty... Boss, it is not worthwhile to shut down this factory now, maybe you can lose a little less, what do you think?" Dong Xiaorou said to the end, towards Li Zhi Blinked.

The'monster spirit' is growing!

Li Zhi is not in the mood to watch a fairy acting now, so Dong Xiaorou's calculation makes him feel bad.

"How can you not make money?"

Dong Xiaorou blinked her eyes, spread her hands and said, "You are the boss and I am an employee. Why don't you make money? How would I know!"

"No, no, there must be something wrong." Li Zhi shook his head, frowning thinking and said: "The raw materials are correct, the output is correct, the pricing...yes, the pricing!"

Li Zhi raised his head and exclaimed excitedly: "Why do we have to set the selling price so low? You are stupid. The cost of producing fish meatballs is more than six yuan per catty. At this price, it can be sold out. It's strange if you don't lose money."

Dong Xiaorou widened her eyes and looked at Li Zhi angrily: "You are stupid, you are stupid, you are stupid!"

"Hey!" Li Zhiqian laughed twice, and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, just keep your mouth shut, what, when you are angry, you are pretty cute!"

"Don't come to this one with me, this girl won't eat it!" Dong Xiaorou blanked his eyes.

Li Zhi could see that Dong Xiaorou was not really angry, and said with a smile: "The ex-factory price of fish balls cannot be compared to the current market price."

"What is the reference?"

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "There is nothing to refer to. The fish balls we produce are the same as the fish balls sold in the market? They are not the same, and they are not even a kind of thing. The fish balls we process and manufacture are genuine and genuine. There is only one raw material for the'fish balls' made from real materials, and that is fresh fish. Therefore, our prices can only be determined by referring to our products!"
