National Beer

"Are you opposed?" Wu Geng held up his glasses and picked up a chicken foot, "Reason?"

"The reason is that our beer is produced. Is there a can for filling?"

Just like the domestic beer industry at this time, the raw materials are based on foreign raw materials, and beer raw materials such as barley need to be imported.

Cans are no exception. There are no cans manufacturers in China, and all the cans need to be imported. Imported cans are expensive. The FOB price in Hong Kong has been as high as 1.35 Hong Kong dollars per set (including lid).

Although this has stimulated the desire of many companies to invest, it has also been supported by the government from policy to funding. In less than two years from 1984 to 1985, the State Economic and Trade Commission approved the import application of six cans production lines in one go.

However, due to management and technical reasons, these production lines are far from being designed and the product quality cannot be guaranteed. Although the imported production lines are all fully automatic, the production efficiency is extremely low.

For example, Qinwan Meite Factory's production capacity is only 40% of its design capacity, and this is also the case with other factories.

Since the implementation of the special beer project, domestic breweries have also launched a number of can beer production lines.However, these beer manufacturers must take cash to the tank factory to buy cans, and even give bonuses to the production line workers to arrange production earlier, especially during the holidays.

"Furthermore, in the 1980s, the production of aluminum and can mouths in my country had not passed the customs, and the packaging of cans in foreign countries was not the main direction of development.

Qin Dong spoke earnestly, and Wu Geng listened earnestly, “my country’s beer packaging is mainly bottled. Judging from the current national conditions, cans are not the direction of development. As a product packaging type, we should develop some of them appropriately, but we are keen to engage in can beer production. , Unrealistic."

"Also, according to the domestic consumption level, the price is unacceptable. If the can packaging is used, it costs 1,500 yuan to pack a ton of beer, which is far more valuable than the beer itself!"

Wu Geng cursed, "In other words, if we use this production line at this stage, there are not so many cans for us to fill. The production capacity of this production line cannot be guaranteed. The task of doubling the output proposed by Lao Chen is fundamental. It can't be done."

Can beer is the future development direction, but not now.The development of the beer industry must also comply with my country's national conditions, otherwise it will suffer.

"Well, according to our current production level, it is really not suitable for further development. Can beer has no advantages other than convenient carrying, high cost, and the taste of the wine is not good..."

"Then why is Qin Beer packaged in cans?" Wu Geng asked again.

In order to meet the packaging needs of its products for export, Qinwan Brewery has successively imported beautifully printed all-aluminum two-piece cans from Japan, Hong Kong and other places, which opened the prelude to the large-scale use of cans in China and changed the export of Qin Beer. The embarrassing situation of beer "first-class product, second-rate packaging".

"Mr. Wu, well-known manufacturers have a good market, but ordinary manufacturers can’t. A small line on a large brewery is good as a packaging specification, but we are not a large brewery. We point to this production line to improve our factory’s Equipment technology, instead of buying back this production line, you have to wait for the rice to be cooked!"

"It seems that we still want to be simple, no, Qin Dong, we have to report this situation to Director Chen immediately..."

"What to report? It’s not too late to report after dinner." Du Yuan walked in with a smile as he was talking. He and Wu Geng were also familiar with each other. After the two shook hands, Du Yuan pushed Wu Geng on the stool again. "Eat, eat first..."

"Okay, let's eat first," Wu Geng was also arrogant. "Old Chen may be happy now, so we will let him finish the meal happily. Alas, we still don't have rice in our hands. Speaking of giving us loans, I see Old Chen’s eyes are bright..."

"But you know, what's their loan interest rate?" Qin Dong stretched out three fingers, "7 percent! Such a high interest rate, let's put it this way, is the money we made from hard beer production. Give them the loan!"

"It's not that they are landlords, are we long-term workers?" Du Yuan asked.

"Grandma's, these Japanese people," Wu Geng cursed, holding up the beer, "the left bowed and the right bowed, the man on the left and the husband. This is using a can as bait to catch us."

However, now the Japanese are very detached, but the city and district are very anxious. With the two mouths of Wu Geng and Qin Dong, I am afraid that Liang Yongsheng, Wang Congjun and others cannot be convinced.

Even if the interest rate is high, I am afraid that it will be accepted in front of the can production line. At most, the Japanese will lower the interest rate.

"There is someone we can try..." Qin Dong smiled and raised his eyebrows. "We can call him."

"Who?" Wu Geng asked anxiously.

The night is getting darker.

Morita and Fujino stood in front of the window, looking at the occasional stars outside, they both raised the cups in their hands, and the cups touched together and made a crisp sound.

Just as the night view of Qinwan cannot be compared with the night view of Tokyo at this time, the industry information received by Qinwan people at this time cannot be compared with the Japanese.

"This is the best hotel in the eastern part of Qinwan." Morita looked at the furnishings in the room. They had moved from the seaman to the Ocean Hotel. As a landmark building in the eastern part of Qinwan at this time, the city and district gave them exceptional hospitality. Pay attention.

Imagining that a contract will be signed after a meeting with the Chinese tomorrow. Morita is very proud, "The Chinese have a saying, called Jiang Taigong fishing. Those who wish to take the bait, we did not do the work of persuasion, everything is voluntary by the Chinese, Mr. Fujino. , Remember, this is what business is going to do."

"Thank you for the teaching," Fujino said with a humbly smile, "I have learned a lot from this trip to China, the director, Qin Dong..."

"What's wrong with Qin Dong?" Morita didn't change his face. There was no champagne here. They could only celebrate in advance with a kind of ladies champagne produced by Qinwan.

"Qin Dong asked about the interest rate..."

"Oh," Morita smiled, and the corner of his eyes shook up and down, "Chinese people will ask this question, but they will pay more attention to the production line of cans. They will take our loans and exchange loans for equipment. It is necessary, so I am not going to lower interest rates, not at all. I think they will eventually agree."

"What else did he say?" Morita asked again.

Rongya Brewery was going to launch a 30,000-ton production line project. Just after several factory leaders went to Shanghai and Guangzhou, they got the news. They immediately came from Shanghai to see if the technical transformation of the filling machine was fake. It is true that the loan interest rate makes money from Qinwan people!

All this is well-designed, Morita believes that no one will not be hooked!

"I didn't say anything else..." Fujino tried to remember, Qin Dong's smile appeared on his head, his heart suddenly felt a little uneasy, this young man, from the moment he walked into Zhongjiawa, let him Vigilance and surprise have occurred, and now this feeling is even stronger.
