The second month passed quickly.
Liu Ru has been at the Lakeside Factory these days, rarely participating in the college's courses, and mostly studying on his own in his spare time.
Accordingly, she was forced to put her work at the Snow Burial Society on hold. Liu Ru hoped to train Qiu Rui quickly so that Qiu Rui could become the real director of the factory, so that she could get out again.
But this is undoubtedly a very long process.
Of course, Liu Ru's results this month alone are also very gratifying.
Strictly speaking, it’s only half a month.
In the past half month, Su Ziye has moved in two more sets of production equipment. These machines are almost like miracles to ordinary people, and they cannot understand their inner principles at all.
Fortunately, they don't need to understand, as long as they learn to use it and don't get killed by these machines, it's enough.
In half a month, the daily output of this instant noodle factory alone has reached 20 tons.
Each portion of instant noodles weighs about 120 grams. Two hundred tons means 20,000 kilograms or 20 million grams.
That’s 160,000 servings of instant noodles.
The price of each serving of instant noodles is one copper sigram, and the profit is almost half of the price. From the most ideal perspective, the daily net income is 80,000 copper sigrams.
That is forty golden leaf clovers.
The ideal profit for a month is one thousand two hundred golden leaves.
One year is 14,400 gold-leaf grasses.
It is also undoubtedly a huge sum of money.
However, unlike Happy Water, Happy Water's direct transactions are Ye Ye Academy and Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, both of which are wealthy owners who are not short of money. However, now only half of the instant noodles are distributed by Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, and the other half You are trying to find a buyer yourself.
Of course, because its price is really low, even nearby villages can afford it. Many businessmen even drove outside the factory to buy large quantities of instant noodles directly at the ex-factory price and sell them to further places. , its price can even increase ten times.
After all, for some adventurers and travelers, the portability and convenience of these instant noodles are almost unmatched by any competing products. Even if you set up a separate pot to cook some soup, adding a little of this instant noodles can make the soup even better. The taste is improved by several levels.
Someone once told Liu Ru about this situation, and Liu Ru relayed it to Su Ziye. The core point is that the current price of instant noodles is too low. Even if it is increased five times, there will be good sales in short supply.
After all, to put it bluntly, the current total output is only 6,000 tons per month. This is of course a very scary number, but the problem is that this is all for eating, food, and it can be seen by the naked eye that it is very storable, and according to the increasingly With many businessmen crowding in to buy, I'm afraid it will soon be necessary to expand production.
The core of the expansion lies in the progress of Lathe Immortal's manual lathes, which is a bit unsolvable at this point.
Coming out of the car with three identical sets of machinery is already a bit of creative fatigue for the lathe wizards. Although the final result is interesting, they are really not lathe workers, but almost the top masters of metal smelting and manufacturing in this era.
Su Ziye is already considering making his own lathe. After all, only if he can produce industrial mother machines can he consider further expanding the production capacity of the machinery.
As for the request for a price increase, Su Ziye flatly refused.
Of course, he still needs profits, and the current estimated total profit of 10,000 Golden Leaf Grasses in a year is actually a little lower, compared to the estimate of 1 million a year.
It's not that Su Ziye doesn't want to make more money, but the production capacity and market size are there.
The most important thing is that what Su Ziye ultimately wanted in establishing this instant noodle factory was not just profit, it can even be said that it was not mainly profit.
What he wants is the influence of this instant noodle factory.
According to the current trend, as long as instant noodles can be sold, people will soon learn that such a magical new thing was born on the shore of Broken Star Lake. This new thing is not the instant noodles themselves, but the ability to sell them on a large scale. A factory that makes instant noodles incredibly cheaply and incredibly efficiently.
This is the best advertising effect, and it is what Su Ziye dreams of.
Therefore, after ensuring a minimum profit, he did not want to increase the factory price of instant noodles at all.
As for those merchants who rely on hoarding and reselling, Su Ziye has no objection now, and with the further expansion of instant noodle factories in the future, they will be advertised in advance. As long as the logistics network can be finally laid, they can easily Crush these individual businessmen.
Now, Su Ziye is thinking more about the supporting facilities for the instant noodle factory.
The first ones to bear the brunt of this are flour and packaging.
Currently, most of what is purchased is wheat, which needs to be sent in batches to nearby mills for further grinding into flour before it can be used. But the problem is that the working efficiency of the mills cannot handle too much flour at all, and there is usually not enough flour. Such an excessive demand, not to mention the fact that the flour milled out by the mill does not meet the requirements of perilla leaves, can only be used by pinching the nose.
The gap still depends on the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce.
On the other hand, the problem of packaging also troubles Su Ziye.
At present, the packaging of instant noodles is basically no packaging.
The most suitable plastic products come from the products of petrochemical industry. Su Ziye simply does not have the time and energy to mine oil. This technological line can basically be passed by him. So without plastic, the best substitute is paper. .
Papermaking is not a secret in this world, and there are many various production workshops.
But the problem is that paper products specifically used for food packaging almost do not exist. Even if they do exist, they are not produced in such large quantities.
And instant noodles are all good, but the disadvantage is that they are not resistant to pressure or bumps, and they break easily.
Although many people like to eat broken instant noodles and feel that it has a unique flavor, but in terms of the appearance and main use of the noodles, it is difficult for people to accept this as long as they do not specifically want to sell dry noodles—— However, Su Ziye does have the idea of making crispy noodles, so that he can further enter the children's market, but this requires a special production line, which is too violent for the Lathe Immortal, so he can only give up for the time being.
So for now, Su Ziye wants to continue building factories.
The goals of building the factory are these two.
They are flour mills that solve raw material problems and paper mills that solve packaging problems.
In addition, the corrugated packaging boxes that can be produced by paper mills are also in great demand at present. Otherwise, the loss of instant noodles during long-distance transportation will be almost unacceptable.
So soon, Su Ziye came to Carotes' desk again.
