The semi-finished chicken products of Burger King basically come from the iron rooster processing factory, with relatively low cost and guaranteed quality, but raw materials such as French fries and finished skewers in Malatang stores mainly come from market procurement.

If one more middleman will naturally have one more layer of cost.

Lu's catering company wants to further expand its scale, and it's okay to say that French fries, etc. are all kinds of products from Malatang. In fact, there is a considerable demand for hot pot restaurants. Further reducing costs will naturally become a problem facing Lu Dong.

It is not shameful for commercial companies to pursue profits within a reasonable and legal scope.

Lu Dong contacted several manufacturers again. The other party heard that he demanded nearly 10,000 yuan a day and would further increase later, and each one became extremely enthusiastic, as if the price was not a problem.

Price is important, but apart from price, some issues are equally important.

So, Lu Dong was going to visit those factories in person and then talk about cooperation.

Lu Dong was also careful and did not make any appointments with anyone for a specific time.

There is no slightly larger manufacturer in Quannan. Lu Dong has specifically inquired about it. There are several small workshops that produce. The larger the raw materials used in Malatang, the lower the cost.

After seeing a small workshop in Quannan, Lu Dong no longer had extravagant expectations for family-style workshops. The sanitary conditions alone were enough to eliminate them all.

He was going to visit Linzi and Kite City that he had contacted.

It may take some time to go there, and there is still a big deal to arrange before you go there.

In terms of recruitment, Du Xiaobing and Qian Feng are responsible for the preliminary interview; the store is responsible for each store manager; the support and loans are the most suitable part of dealing with government agencies; if you encounter people or things in the store, you can call Lu Chun directly.

"I heard that the road is very messy." Song Na still remembered the village toll station when she entered the firecracker last year and told Lu Dong: "If you go to talk about purchasing goods, you have to bring a lot of money. It is not safe for one person to take a few more people."

It seems that he and Lu Dong went to purchase goods at night and encountered someone who had robbed the goods.

In recent years, news on TV and newspapers that crack down on car gangsters and road bullies have not stopped.

Lu Dong smiled and said, "I will take Xiaoshan and Weiguo with you. With both of them, it will scare away some people's bad thoughts."

Song Na nodded: "Okay, you three can take care of you together."

Lu Dong said again: "The security has improved a lot this year. Just don't worry and teach in school safely."

Speaking of Song Na, Lu Dong was actually very careful and asked Su Xiaoshan to buy a few rubber rollers and put them on Santana.

If you really want to meet someone who is not open, two bald heads can scare away many people.

What does it mean? The bald head seems to be able to increase critical strikes.

The next morning, Su Xiaoshan drove a black Santana, carrying Lu Dong and Qiao Weiguo to the nearby Linzi City.

Then go to the Kite Market.

After leaving the university town, Lu Dong said directly to Su Xiaoshan who was driving: "Xiaoshan, let's go on the highway."

"Good it!" Su Xiaoshan left the university town and headed north, and from the service station in the north, he boarded the expressway from Quannan to Island City.

This highway, which was completed five years ago, crosses many cities and cities between Quannan and the island city, greatly shortens the time between the two places.

When Su Xiaoshan used to transport coal, he often ran on this highway. After passing the toll station, he said: "Walking on the highway can shorten half of the time than walking on the provincial highway, but the highway fee is a bit expensive."

But Lu Dong said: "It's not cheap to walk the provincial road."

Qiao Weiguo, who was on the co-pilot, responded: "There are toll stations in Quannan two years ago."

Lu Dong nodded: "It has been cancelled in the past two years."

When walking on the provincial road, there are not only toll stations between prefectures and cities, but now there are also toll stations between different counties in the same city.

For example, when Qingzhao went to Quannan, before the university town was built, there were toll stations on provincial and national highways, and the toll carts cost 10 yuan.

Going to another place, the fee is higher.

After leaving the Qingzhao section expressway, Su Xiaoshan was fully focused on driving. This expressway was very deceptive in the early days. The maximum speed limit of this section may be 120, and if you can't go far, you may become 60. People who are not familiar with the road conditions will run off the highway. In addition to the highway fee, it is common to throw hundreds of dollars into it.

Even in this era, various speed measurements and monitoring are the most advanced on the highways in Taidong. There is no need to worry about spending too much, because a star-creating income section can make many large enterprises look down on the face of seeing people in a year.

Not long after leaving Qingzhao section, I actually encountered traffic jams. This year is very rare.

Su Xiaoshan saw someone running to ask in front, and when he came back, he lowered the car window and asked, "What's wrong with the front?"

The man said, "I've had a car accident. I heard that the two old people were idle and had nothing to do. They came to watch the cars on the highway. One of them wanted to cross the road and run to the other side, but they called a small car and hit it."

Lu Dong asked, "How is the handling?"

The man replied: "It's not bad, I guess it will be released soon."

It was originally possible to arrive in more than 40 minutes, but it took nearly an hour and a half to arrive because of a car accident.

Get off the expressway at the toll station east of Linzi City. There was no navigation on the bus, and the mobile phone could only be considered half a turn. According to the address provided by the other party, Lu Dong asked Su Xiaoshan to get off the bus several times to ask. At around 10:30, he finally found the Hanlin Food Processing Factory near the eastern suburbs of Linzi City.

When they were about to arrive at the processing factory, Lu Dong called the boss he had contacted.

This is a complete personal enterprise, with a large scale, mainly producing various small foods.

In the past two years, after localization changes in the north, the spicy hot pot has been circulated in the streets and alleys of the city, attracting many young diners and creating many people who have become rich first.

Chang Hanlin, the owner of Hanlin Food Processing Factory, is one of them.

Black Santana drove into the factory gate. As soon as the car stopped, Chang Hanlin, who was in his forties, walked over quickly and helped Lu Dong open the door.

According to the contact number, he came to a big customer. If he could negotiate, he might increase sales by 200,000 to 300,000 yuan per month, so his attitude was very low.

Things produced are not called goods, but those sold are called goods.

Otherwise, it will be piled up in the warehouse, which is no different from garbage.

The other party has a car and a driver, and he obviously has certain strength.

"Boss Lu, since the first time I talked on the phone, I have been waiting for you to come."

Although the person on the other side was a little too young and still came to the door suddenly, Chang Hanlin was a self-employed person with enough brains and broad knowledge. Otherwise, he would not have worked hard to create a large processing factory and spoke very politely: "Come here today, and you will shine!"

People are polite, and Lu Dong is also polite: "I can't afford to be it, I can't afford to be it. Boss Chang is too polite."

Chang Hanlin hurriedly said, "Let's chat in the office."

Lu Dong followed him to the office and looked at the factory. It covers an area of ​​at least twenty acres and has two huge steel structure factories. The floors in the factory are hardened with cement and are cleaned spotlessly. Just looking at the sanitary conditions on the surface, there is nothing to say.

When he entered the office, Chang Hanlin gave Lu Dong to the sofa and poured tea and water himself.

Someone also greeted Su Xiaoshan and Qiao Weiguo.

Chang Hanlin accompanied Lu Dong, exchanged a few greetings, took the initiative to get to the point, and asked tentatively: "Is Boss Lu used the factory goods the previous time?"

Lu Dong said: "I have used it many times. The Hanlin Factory's things are made of materials and have good quality, but the price is a bit expensive."

Chang Hanlin smiled and said, "Everyone says you get what you pay for. I'm not bragging. The quality of the things made by Hanlin Factory is absolutely guaranteed. I have been in this industry for more than two years and have never had a food accident."

Lu Dong said again: "So, my first shop is Boss Chang's factory." He said directly: "I currently have two stores in Quannan area that use semi-finished materials for spicy skewers..."

I heard that there were only two stores, Chang Hanlin suddenly felt a little disappointed with his expectations.

"The daily sales of these two stores can reach about 30,000!" Lu Dong continued: "I am planning to continue opening stores in the prime location in the center of Quannan City. It may expand three to four stores within the year, so purchasing goods from the market alone is far from meeting my needs. Terminal sales directly talk to the manufacturer, which can save the intermediate links and is also conducive to the manufacturer's more targeted production and avoid waste of resources."

Chang Hanlin naturally understands the benefits of direct cooperation between terminal sales and manufacturers, and can see clearly, otherwise he would not have lowered his figure so much to receive such a potential customer.

Chang Hanlin's face was full of smiles: "Boss Lu, I also want to cooperate directly with you." He has confidence in his factory: "Why not do this? You go to the workshop first, and let's talk after reading it?"

Lu Dong thought for a while and said, "Yes."

Chang Hanlin led the way and led Lu Dong to the production workshop. Qiao Weiguo thought of Song Na's advice when he came, and pulled Su Xiaoshan and followed him quickly.

When entering the factory, you need to wear work clothes and disinfect it in the air shower. Although the effect is far less than that of the food processing factory in Lujia Village, it is definitely a very rare time in this era.

Most small and medium-sized private processing plants can wash their hands when they enter the production workshop.

Like Chang Hanlin, Lu Dong and the other two changed their clothes and shoes to pass through the shower room, and then entered the workshop.

Seeing the factory, Lu Dong nodded slightly. The stainless steel equipment was bright, and the workers were wearing work clothes, hats and masks, which were very formal.

"Please go here." Chang Hanlin led the three people to visit.

The production scale of the factory is not small. The larger the production scale, the lower the cost of a single piece.

The cost difference between producing goods worth 10,000 yuan per day and producing goods worth 100,000 yuan per day is very obvious.

After walking around the entire factory, the impression left on Lu Dong was quite good.

Before he came, he said that he might have time to come next month, and the other party could not prepare specifically for this. This is very likely to be a daily state.

These days, there are many unscrupulous manufacturers who are short-sighted and only care about immediate interests, but there are also those who focus on the reputation of the factory and product quality.
