All 200 tons of medicinal materials were refined into Pei Yuan Dan, but about 20 tons, the production line was only completed at 13 o'clock in the afternoon. With the accumulation of experience, the success rate of the last ton of medicinal materials even exceeded 99.5%.

The production method of the production line is very different from the individual alchemy.

Personal alchemy is all about 'feeling' – experience is important. Experience is not refined.

But the production line quantifies all the metrics – no longer relying solely on experience, but more on values.

There are times when experience is important, but in mass production, more precise values are the core – this value is technology, quantitative technology.

Zhou Shuhai watched the production line slowly stop, and watched the last half of the box of pills preserved, he was still excited, and finally slowly squatted next to the frame, holding the pills in both hands, watching the pills roll in a hurry.

He played like this, as if he had received a beloved toy. There was a circle of people in Xinglintang around, and Zhang Hao couldn't squeeze in. Everyone looked at the whole 20 boxes in front of them.

When will the elixir be able to be packed in a frame! This is something they couldn't have imagined in the past, but today...... It came true right in front of you.

"Zhang Hao, thank you. Zhou Jue appeared next to Zhang Hao, his tone low and sincere.

Zhang Hao smiled: "Thank you for thanks, but business for business." Brothers settle accounts!

Remember to repay the price of medicinal herbs within a month, and if you exceed one month, you will be charged interest according to the terms of the loan.

In addition, the patented technology of the production line also needs to be paid. For every 100 pills, you need to pay the royalty of one pill!"

Zhou Jue: ......

Zhou Jue clasped his hands together and stared at Zhang Hao viciously: "I think you have recently learned badly with your senior brother Feng Zhiling! Do you want to lie down for a few days?"

"Hey, hey, I'm just telling the truth, why are you doing this?"

The two of them suddenly stared at each other.

After a while, Zhou Shuhai walked over, and he patted Zhang Hao's shoulder vigorously, "Okay, I know you are very proud." The cost of the pill is calculated, and the tax is calculated according to the price of the medicinal materials you give, and then the tax ......"

"Wait!" Zhang Hao spoke, "Uncle, you don't need to tell me the cost price, and don't tell anyone about this, this is a trade secret." In the future, Xinglin Hall is no longer a simple pill holy place.

In the future, Xinglintang will be the research base of the elixir, and the technology itself will ...... It's an alternative cost. This cannot be calculated by common sense.

In the future, Xinglintang will also be the production base of the pill, and the final price of the pill will be determined by the company.

At present, the price of ordinary Pei Yuan Dan in China is still stable at 0.9 spirit stones, that is, 90 yuan. If the cost price of Xinglintang's pill is far lower than this price, then congratulations, uncle, you have the pricing power in the market. This is a very important right and an advantage in business.

If the cost price of Xinglintang is higher than 90 yuan, then you have the responsibility to research better technology and reduce the cost price from a technical point of view. Of course, you can also negotiate with Dayang Group to lower the price of medicinal materials, patent prices, etc.

But in any case, the cost price is a trade secret and cannot be disclosed to anyone.

In business competition, sometimes even if it is a loss, everyone is smiling. ”

Zhou Shuhai nodded, "Understood." It seems that we still have a lot to learn. But now there is a problem, there are so many pills, we don't have so many jade bottles. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Zhang Hao suddenly pondered: the preservation of the pill is not easy, and some high-quality jade bottles are needed.

The jade bottle can preserve the medicinal properties and even contain the elixir. There are also porcelain vases, but they all need the assistance of formations to retain the medicinal properties - the price of such porcelain vases is not lower than that of jade vases.

If the pill is directly exposed to the air, its medicinal properties will continue to be lost, and in about a month, the ordinary Peiyuan Pill will become a waste pill.

A large amount of pills are preserved, and large formations can be relied upon. But the small, retail, obviously needs to find another way. It is impossible for every pill to be preserved in a formation, and the cost is even higher than that of a jade bottle.

In the past, there were not many pills in the country of Qixia, and the price was relatively expensive, so everyone was willing to use jade bottles to preserve them. But since the Zhang family's first voyage, problems began to arise with the blooming of the elixir.

However, at the beginning, most of the people hoarded their own pills, and they didn't use a lot of jade bottles for sale. There are a lot of ordinary jade, and cultivators polish a jade bottle, and it takes minutes - and it doesn't need to be perfect.

Moreover, most of the better pills bought from the East have already been bottled, which has also solved a lot of problems.

But it's different for the current Xinglintang. In the future, Xinglintang will mass-produce pills, but now it is just beginning, and it has already increased by 20 tons of pills per month.

Later, with the increase of the production line and the increase in the output of the pill, the holding of the pill became a problem.

With jade, I am afraid that these 20 tons of medicinal materials can consume a small jade mine. It's not realistic. The polishing process of the jade bottle is very wasteful, and the jade bottle containing 10 pills needs a perfect piece of jade polished at least the size of a fist - the jade must not have cracks.

In fact, jade is a natural stone, and it is said that there are nine cracks in ten jades, and there are very few cracks. Often, one cubic meter of jade can only chisel out a hundred and ten small jade bottles - only 1,000-1,500 pills.

There are also bottles and boxes made of spirit wood and spirit bamboo, but the cost price is still very high. Moreover, spiritual wood and spiritual bamboo have a lot of uses, and they are used to make bottles and jars, which is too wasteful.

And this time, although Zhang Hao didn't know the cost price of Pei Yuan Dan, he could guess from Zhou Shuhai's smile and the information Zhang Hao knew that the cost price should be less than 0.3 spirit stones, or even close to 0.2 spirit stones.

With such a cheap pill, the packaging cost can't be too high.

So, what materials are cheap enough and wide enough? The most important thing is that the production should be convenient enough! Zhang Hao pondered, and suddenly a name that was almost eliminated jumped out of Zhang Hao's mind:

60% purity of dark iron!

The box stamped with the black iron sheet should be enough to preserve the medicinal properties of the elixir. You must know that the Zhang family's naphtha oil drum is made of this iron sheet. And if the pill is installed, the iron sheet can be thinner and the cost price is lower!

Such a production line is available in the Zhang family, and there is one in the Xuantie factory.

Zhang Hao immediately discussed with Zhou Shuhai.

"60% of the Xuantie ......," Zhou Shuhai muttered to himself, "What's your price?"

"At present, 60% of the Zhangjia's Xuantie is about 6,000 yuan per ton, which is 60 spirit stones. If we want to stamping into boxes, we need to charge a processing fee...... Well...... A ton is a total of 9,000 yuan!

Uncle, we don't charge for opening molds for bulk orders, etc., no matter what kind of box you want, if you buy in large quantities, we calculate it according to the weight. 9,000 yuan a ton, and the box can also be stamped with the logo of Xinglintang, and even stamped with handwriting. ”

Zhou Shuhai nodded: "A ton of 90 spirit stones...... This is really the price of cabbage. A year ago, 60% of the black iron was still used as currency.

But what do you do with the logo and handwriting on the stamping of Xinglintang?"

Young Master Zhang looked at the sky at 45°: "Uncle, the transfer is a science, have you noticed the packaging on some items sold by the Zhang family or the Ocean Group?"

For example, the most common blackiron ingots, each blackiron ingot that goes out of the Dayang Group has a steel stamp.

It has the logo of the Ocean Group - a sea eagle soaring between the blue sea and blue sky, although the stamping is simple.

In addition, there are also marks on the purity, production time, and even the location of ore collection and the type of impurities.

Therefore, although Dayang Group sells these dark iron in a unified manner, the price of dark iron in different production times and different mines in the market is different.

For example, it is generally believed that the closer the production time, the better the quality; there are many people who believe that the ore from the southern part of the Ranci Mountain is of the best quality and has the fewest types of impurities; and the ore from the northern part of the Ranci Mountain is of the worst quality and contains certain harmful substances.

The ore grade in the south of the Ranci Mountain is indeed better. But the finished dark iron, after our inspection, there is no difference at all. But everybody thinks so.

Therefore, the retail price in the market, the price of Xuantie produced by the southern ore of the Ranci Mountain is slightly higher. Everyone refining an important magic weapon, and will specifically look for the dark iron smelted from the southern ore. ”

Zhou Shuhai frowned slightly: "This is a profiteer! But I don't understand what you want to illustrate with this example." ”

Zhang Hao smiled: "Uncle, the retailers below may be profiteers, but they are promoting it like this, but they have invisibly increased the influence of Dayang Group." And this influence has invisibly shaped a new kind of wealth:

Brand!

Or brand effect!

Now, with the diffusion of Xuantie smelting technology, there are many Xuaniron on the market, and the price is more or less different, but everyone's preferred Xuantie is still Dayang Group. Why?

Because of the brand!

The four words of Dayang Group represent quality and trust.

If my uncle goes to Fang Market and takes a look around, he will find that when everyone buys Xuantie, or when the merchant sells Xuantie, as long as he says, 'This is from Dayang Group', everyone will not ask too much. But if it is produced by another firm, everyone will carefully ask about the origin, impurities, production time, etc. ”

Zhou Shuhai's eyes narrowed slightly, he understood. "Then what do you think, Xinglintang's ...... Packaging, how should it be done?"

"Uncle, I'm just providing a reference. In my opinion, Xinglintang should design its own logo, and all the pills produced by Xinglintang in the future will be marked with logos.

It is best to imprint this logo directly on the elixir, so as to prevent others from copying or using Xinglintang's box to contain fake elixirs.

In addition, because it is a pill, I recommend that the box have the production date, expiration date, and ingredients of the medicinal materials, and if possible, even the origin of the medicinal materials should be stated. After all, there are always some differences in the medicinal properties of medicinal materials from different origins.

The medicinal properties and efficacy should be clearly explained, and some of the potentially toxic medicinal properties and contraindications of the pills should be marked separately. This thing is not afraid of trouble, but it is afraid that it is not meticulous enough.

As an elixir for cultivation, the effect varies depending on the time of use. This should also be listed. Also, the cultivation level suitable for different pills should also be clearly marked.

Especially in the future, there are many types of pills, and the pills within Xinglintang have to give the relationship between each other, whether they can be taken at the same time, or whether they are forbidden to be taken at the same time, or how long the interval is.

If the list on the box is not clear, use a note to make an instruction manual.

What we want to do is be transparent. We want to give users a feeling: trust!

In fact, brand is trust.

If people trust us, they will give preference to our products, even if the price is a little more expensive.

Unlike Xuantie, the elixir ...... It's going to eat your stomach, it's not sloppy!"

Zhou Shuhai's eyes gradually brightened, "I'll solve the problem of the pill." But what do you think would be a better sign for Xinglintang?"

Zhang Hao opened his mouth and said, "Uncle, I have heard of the deeds of Xinglintang. There is nothing more representative of the apricot grove than the apricot tree.

Uncle asked a Danqing master to outline the apricot tree with the most concise brushwork. However, the logo is not a picture, and the simpler and more concise the better. Uncle can refer to our logo, and it only took twelve strokes in total. Two strokes depict the sea, three sketches depict white clouds, and seven strokes depict sea eagles. ”

A smile finally bloomed on Zhou Shuhai's face, "Thank you so much." I didn't expect a small package to have so many details. By the way, there are no royalties for this, right?"

“...... Uncle...... Am I that stingy......"

"Haha......" Zhou Shuhai laughed loudly, and suddenly patted Zhang Hao's shoulder hard, and Zhang Hao's face turned blue, "You kid is good at everything, that's how he cultivates...... Hurry up and grow.

The foundation building period is really not enough. After all, this is the world of cultivation, and the Yuan Infant Period is the real entry!

I have decided, before the Yuan Infant Period, you and Xue Yao should both work hard to cultivate, don't think too much. ”

Zhang Hao's face quickly turned from blue and white to purple and black. This is the revenge of the grace~
