Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 452 Luxury Instant Noodles

  After eating at noon, Yang Chen began to inspect the food processing factory established in the inland by his own Donghua Group.

Today, the Donghua Group under Yang Chen is in charge of the three talents Han Wenguang, Liu Hua, and Qi He who were recruited from Walmart at the beginning. Since the establishment of Donghua Group, the three have invested part of the food suppliers Processing plants were moved inland to alleviate Heung Kong's rising labor costs.

In a few months, nearly half of Carrefour food suppliers have accepted Donghua Group's shareholding. Most of the suppliers who accepted the shareholding are weak, and the bigger ones are still hesitating. Foreign investors have not accepted Donghua Group's shareholding request at all .

   Many of the suppliers who accepted Donghua’s shareholding have relocated their labor-intensive factories to the special zone.

  The Shenzhen Special Economic Zone is only one river away from the Xiangjiang River. It is only a few hours away. It is very convenient to travel, and the supply of raw materials is also cheaper.

   Therefore, after these processing plants entered the SAR, with the help of Donghua Group and the SAR government, some food processing plants have already begun to make profits.

  With the expansion of Carrefour supermarkets, the sales of those suppliers who are tied to Carrefour are becoming more and more stable.

   In addition to investing in shares to help some high-quality suppliers expand production, Donghua Group also has established directly-affiliated commodity processing plants with high demand.

   For example, instant noodles and various herbal tea beverages that are very popular in Japan, Donghua Group has established a food research and development department at the request of Yang Chen.

   A series of work such as R&D, improvement, and random inspection of various foods are carried out.

  In addition to food, other commodities needed by supermarkets will be established in the special zone one after another.

  Because of the huge deployment of Donghua Group, considering that Yang Chen has Carrefour in his hands, the Special Economic Zone directly reserved some industrial land for Donghua Group in various industrial zones with a wave of his hand.

   Unlike other companies under Yang Chen, Han Wenguang and the three of them are very low-key. In just a few months, Donghua Group's tentacles have extended to all aspects, and as time goes on, it becomes more and more huge.

  Donghua Group is divided into two steps, one is a holding company directly operated by Donghua Group, and the other is a company that Donghua Group participates in.

   With the left hand and the right hand, Donghua Group firmly controls the supply side of Carrefour, so as to avoid the risk of Carrefour being out of stock in the future when it encounters peer competition.

  Although the processing enterprises under Donghua Group are all joint ventures with inland areas, in terms of management, Donghua Group and its shareholding companies are still in charge. The special zone is only responsible for recruiting workers and supervising learning.

  Management experience can be learned, food processing and manufacturing can also be learned, as long as you don’t know something, you can learn it.

   Unlike state-owned enterprises, who come to inspect and visit in various ways, Donghua Group's processing enterprises do not welcome people who come here to inspect and inspect every day.

   The SAR can send people to the factory for production, study, inspection, etc. Except for the leaders of the SAR, it is basically impossible for other people to step into the factory area.

   Regarding this point, the leadership team headed by Secretary Liang did not say anything, and they also knew that the kind of daily inspection would affect the production of the factory.

   After various processing enterprises under Donghua Group entered the special zone, the economic development of the special zone is growing at a rapid rate, especially the fastest growth in foreign exchange.

  Because the various processing enterprises under Donghua Group, the goods produced are supplied to Carrefour supermarkets, and the things sold are naturally recovered in Hong Kong dollars.

   The raw materials and labor of various processing plants are provided inland, and most of the money earned naturally flows into the pockets of the SAR government.

   There is money to be made, Donghua Group has played a role in promoting the economy of the special zone, and whoever is in charge here will not make trouble.

  Since it is a food processing factory, hygiene is naturally the most important indicator. Before entering the factory, Yang Chen, Secretary Liang and others were required to change into work clothes, hats and masks.

   The first thing Yang Chen visited was not another processing factory, but the instant noodle processing factory that had just entered production.

  The instant noodles of later generations, in the category of food, not only have a long lifespan, but also have a large output.

  According to the inland population of more than one billion, an average person consumes more than 30 packs of instant noodles a year, and an average person consumes about three packs of instant noodles a month.

   That is to say, the staple food of Chinese people one day a month is instant noodles, one-thirtieth, which does not seem like a lot, but don’t forget, instant noodles are just a commodity that people eat daily.

  It is not rice, it is not people's daily staple food, but it is such an edible commodity, but it accounts for people's staple food for one day a month.

  Why do instant noodles rarely increase in price in later generations?

   This is related to the market share it occupies. With an annual output of 40 to 50 billion packs, the country will naturally not allow the price of instant noodles to rise, because once the price rises, it will involve people’s livelihood issues.

  This is like salt, instant noodles in later generations have become an inseparable necessity in the lives of some Chinese people.

   With a population of more than one billion people, the above will not be indifferent to anything related to people's livelihood.

   Of course, at this time, instant noodles have entered the inland, Yang Chen has not thought about it for the time being, everyone has not even solved the basic food and clothing, where is there any time to eat instant noodles.

  In these days, instant noodles are not the junk food in the mouths of later generations. A pack of a few cents is also a luxury in the inland.

   Therefore, the instant noodles under the Donghua Group are still supplied by Xiangjiang.

"Boss, our instant noodle processing factory was just completed last month. We have customized ten production lines from Japan, and now two have been installed. One production line can produce 20,000 packs of instant noodles a day, and 600,000 packs a month. When the ten production lines are installed, our instant noodle processing factory will be able to fully meet the needs of Xiangjiang.”

   Yang Chen frowned after hearing this: "Does one production line only produce 20,000 packs of instant noodles a day?"

   He knew that the Master Kong instant noodle company of later generations could produce 30 million packs of instant noodles a day with 100 production lines, and an average production line could produce 300,000 packs a day.

  Although that is because Master Kong instant noodle production line has achieved fully automatic machining, but now the gap between the two is more than ten times, which is somewhat unreasonable.

  Liu Hua explained to Yang Chen seriously: "Boss, what I'm talking about is that under normal circumstances, if you work overtime and run continuously all day, our production line can produce 50,000 bales a day."

   50,000 bales a day, 300,000 bales after 30 to 40 years, that’s a six-fold difference, but it’s not too big, Yang Chen nodded, and didn’t say more.
