Chapter 512: Powerful Self-Heating Hot Pot
Wang Dong, Li Yi and Wei Sanpao have arrived in the production workshop. The workers in the workshop are all busy. Even when the factory director comes, they don't mean to say hello. This is Wang Dong's request.
If you stop to say hello when you see the factory manager, can you still finish the work at hand? In addition, Wang Dong comes to inspect the factory almost every day. It is impossible for this thing to not have any flaws at all. After all, the machine is far from reaching the level of accuracy, but you can't really turn a blind eye to the flaws. ?
Wang Dong himself is a hands-on character, so he is very strict about rules and so on. The workshop shown in front of Wei Sanpao and Li Yi was very orderly, and the workers were all meticulous. Li Yi nodded repeatedly when he saw it. .
The Kaoshan Village Food Processing Factory has just been established, and there are no cumbersome rules. There are only a few rules. The order of the workers is incomparable to that of other packaging factories. If you compare it, you can see where the shortcomings are.
"The flow of water here must be much more than that of my food processing factory, right? How is the business of the packaging factory now? Is it good?"
Wang Dong sighed slowly and said:
"That's it. When the business is good, you can basically earn more than 20,000 yuan a month. This is a relatively stable net profit. When the business is not good, the left and right are more than 10,000 yuan. After dividing one point for the workers below, , sometimes I have to add some more, but at the end of the year I can still earn around 100,000.”
More than 100,000 yuan a year, in fact, even thirty years later, can be considered a well-off family, but for a factory director, more than 100,000 yuan is probably far from what Wang Dong dreamed of, but after so many years , and just kept walking down.
Li Yi smiled and said to Wang Dong:
"Don't be discouraged. This situation will change sooner or later. Just the atmosphere in your workshop alone has a lot to learn from. Sooner or later, the entire southern region will know that there is such a packaging factory!"
Wang Dong twitched the corners of his lips and said with a wry smile:
"Then I'll lend you some good advice, Boss Li!"
"Let's not talk about this for now, let's take a look at the packaging box first!"
Li Yi nodded immediately, turned around and pulled Wei Sanpao, who was still visiting the factory workshop equipment, and walked towards the workshop inside.
…
In the workshop, several skilled workers were busy sweating profusely. Wang Dong said with a smile: "There is no way to ventilate the workshop here. Sorry, it's a bit hot, so Boss Li and Boss Wei, please bear with me." !”
Li Yi smiled and said:
"It's okay. By the way, the packaging box is heat-resistant..."
Wang Dong turned around and took down a box from the shelf behind him, and said with a smile: "This is the packaging box that finally passed the test. The biggest problem now is the cost. It is really difficult to find the materials we use. There is no other way, all the best plastic raw materials are used..."
Li Yi took the box and looked it up and down. The first thing he noticed was the weight!
This weight is more than a bit heavier than ordinary packaging boxes, so the first thing to pay attention to is cost control.
Wang Dong said helplessly:
“The first time I made the packaging box, it cost only 50 cents, then 1.50 yuan, and now the box you are holding in your hand costs 5 yuan, and that’s just the inner part, the waterproof coating on the outside is the most expensive. "
five yuan?
Li Yi's eyes widened immediately and he looked around at the heavy box in his hand. A box cost a full five yuan!
That box of self-heating hotpot shouldn't cost more than ten yuan?
Who will buy it? After a brief look, the quality is indeed good, but if you buy this for ten yuan, you might as well go to a roadside stall and have a comfortable meal! A bowl of noodles costs less than a dollar!
Li Yi saw the hot water bottle next to him, turned around and poured a cup of hot water into the cup. After looking carefully, he found that the box was worth ten yuan. The temperature outside had not changed much. A box full of hot water Not even hot to the touch.
Then Li Yi discovered the problem. It turned out that the biggest flaw was on the lid. After the lid deformed, it could not be closed at all.
Wang Dong said helplessly:
"This is the second generation, the most suitable generation at the moment. The problem with the lid has just been solved. At least it will not deform due to heat."
Li Yi nodded, turned around and saw the white bag, which seemed to contain quicklime.
"Let's see the effect first, how about it?"
Wang Dong nodded, turned around and took a new box, and then put the quicklime, which was the material package prepared by Li Yi, in it. Wei Sanpao suddenly felt strange and asked curiously:
"What is this for?"
Li Yi smiled and said:
"You can see the effect after waiting for about ten minutes."
In fact, a standard self-heating hot pot takes about fifteen minutes. The key lies in the heating effect. Fifteen minutes can reach the best state, allowing the food in the hot pot to appeal to people's eyes and taste. It can be no worse than the street food stalls.
But the current ten minutes are due to a problem with the quicklime ratio, and the key lies in a very important temperature control.
In a matter of ten minutes, Wei Sanpao was surprised to see hot steam slowly starting to come out of the box. When he turned around to look again, the hot steam had become more and more intense, and the water in the box gradually began to boil. Start boiling.
From now on, the effect is still good. At least Li Yi is very satisfied when he sees that the water is boiling and the inner liner of the box is not leaking. However, the cost issue is always unavoidable. Whether the cost is more or less, the problem is here. One dollar is the limit that Li Yi can accept. If it is higher, this self-heating hot pot is really meaningless.
Now the water temperature has reached the requirement, the inner liner is not leaking, and the water quality is safe for consumption. The only cost issue needs to be considered again.
Thinking of this, Li Yi said in a deep voice: "Can the box be made smaller? If it is smaller, can the cost be reduced a lot?"
Sighing slowly, Wang Dong said in a deep voice:
"The cost of the box is here. If it is smaller, the required process technology level is actually more complicated..."
Li Yi immediately raised his eyebrows and said:
"Try to make it smaller and make the whole box round? Will it make more use of space?"
A round box?
Hearing this, Wang Dong's eyes suddenly lit up and he said:
"Good idea! I'll let them try it later!"
Li Yi smiled and said:
"Don't worry, take your time. We just happened to be going back to Jiangnan City. There is a lot of room for maneuver in this matter!"
