Star Tycoon

Chapter 164 Ten Billions
After researchers around the world learned about Yi Xianong's life principles and dedication, many industry professionals wanted to do something about it.

The United States, in conjunction with European countries, conducted tests and found problems with many of the more than 20 types of milk powder tested both domestically and internationally. Milk powder professors from seven countries jointly acknowledged the quality of Tiantian milk powder.

Because of EasyNong's open-source nature, milk powder companies from various countries have chosen to use EasyNong's technology and processes.

Entrepreneurs and celebrities from all over the world have started buying Tiantian milk powder online, as have distributors and scalpers in various regions.

The scalpers can't beat Tian Ersan. Tian Ersan doesn't tolerate them. Without someone acting as a scalper within the organization, the scalpers can't get anywhere.

Tian Ersan has all the consumer data, and Shandong and Zhongzhou provinces are his core markets, so he naturally knows who is the right market to sell to.

Prioritizing his own people, whether they are distributors or members of Chengbang Shopping, as long as they have a birth certificate or pregnancy certificate, Tian Ersan doesn't mind making some money from these people who are on his side.

The infant formula market is constantly changing; those who don't embrace the latest technology will be eliminated!
Normally, improvements would be made gradually, or even if one simply focuses on market share without making any further improvements.

The fatal flaw is that all the technology has been cracked, and now anyone with money, connections, and talent can easily enter this industry.

If we don't quickly embrace new technologies by leveraging our equipment and asset advantages, we'll be crushed by the influx of new capital.

Chengbang Trading Company Conference Room.

"By noon, we had shipped 500,000 cans of Tiantian milk powder, but pre-orders for the 200-yuan milk powder had already exceeded 10 million cans, and production could not keep up."

Zhang Shuya described the current situation: production is far from keeping up with sales, just like canned goods used to be.

Even a 200 yuan milk powder is cheaper than many milk powders on the market, especially trustworthy milk powders.

Upon hearing this terrifying number, Qian Sisi stammered, "Ten million cans of milk powder is... a billion?"

Fu Weihou said calmly, "It's two billion."

This woman, who had little ability and presence, always exuded a faint arrogance when facing ordinary people.

Because she was one of the women working for President Tian, ​​Fu Wei looked down on the other women who only knew how to stick their butts out.

Zhang Shuya dared not offend anyone casually, especially those who frequently entered and exited Tian Ersan's bedroom.

"Mr. Tian, ​​our current production capacity is insufficient, and we don't have enough stock. Should we temporarily stop selling?"

Tian Ersan casually said, "That's Professor Yi's business. He's in charge of production control, and we're in charge of sales."

Li Chuhong stood up and smiled, saying, "It's alright. I've already contacted several well-known domestic manufacturers for Professor Yi. Both of the top milk powder companies are willing to assist us with production, but we hope the price won't be too low."

“Tianli Group has the capacity to produce 160 million cans per year and is willing to give us a commission of 100 yuan per can, demanding that the price of milk powder be raised to 250 yuan. They were previously selling milk powder for 400 yuan.”

"Baihe Group has the capacity to produce 140 million cans of milk powder per year. They are willing to give us a commission of 110 yuan per can, but they also require us to raise the price to 250 yuan and require that our monthly sales of self-produced milk powder not exceed 500,000 cans. They previously sold milk powder at 450 yuan."

Tian Ersan didn't care about this matter, so he really didn't know that these milk powders were so expensive.

I always thought domestic products were cheap, but I didn't expect them to be ridiculously expensive.

It's expensive, but it's not safe either?
Li Cuihua nodded seriously, "No wonder they've been biting us like mad dogs lately, these people are so evil!"

Tian Ersan was considering two options.

We can't raise too many cattle here. If we want to supply the national market, even if an entire county raises cattle, it won't be enough.

The most important issue isn't that, but rather that scaling up production would be very troublesome.

It's mainly about time and business; Tian Ersan never intended to get involved in so many trivial matters.

"As long as we have enough money, we can continue selling our milk powder, and they can sell theirs."

Li Chuhong said, "I think we can agree to the two groups' proposals. That way, we can relax and just sit back and collect commissions." Zhang Shuya didn't want to let go of such a lucrative business. "Are we just going to let it go like this? Not sell our own milk powder?"

Li Chuhong said with a smile, "With tens of millions of newborns every year, and each child needing at least forty cans of formula annually, that's a market of at least 600 million cans. How could we possibly possibly handle it?"

"Moreover, there is the overseas market. Many foreign companies have already placed orders for milk powder with us. Our production capacity cannot keep up. Professor Yi does not want to settle down on the grassland, nor does he want to raise so many cattle without even a moment to rest."

Qian Sisi asked, "So, from now on, Tianli and Baihe, two big groups, will produce milk powder for us, and then we'll buy it and resell it, taking a commission of over a hundred yuan per can?"

Fu Weihou said arrogantly, "How do you work? Here, others have always made the products and stored them in the warehouse. When someone buys a can from our website, they pack it up and ship it out themselves, and then give us the remaining money after the commission."

"How come you don't even know this? You've been with the company for a year already."

Qian Sisi stared blankly at Tian Ersan, her mouth agape, "Ah... then... what if we sell a hundred million cans..."

Tian Ersan smiled and said, "If we sell 100 million cans, we'll get 10 billion."

Hua Linyan swallowed hard. "This money is too easy to make. You can earn billions just by lying down!"

Tian Ersan didn't see it that way. "Is it easy to make money? Professor Yi is guaranteeing with his life that it's absolutely safe, and he's even bringing along a young entrepreneur with billions in assets."

"Do you think that since others have the formula and technology, and others have the milk, why don't they sell their own milk powder themselves, and instead give me half the profit to sell?"

"It's just that the domestic market only recognizes my brand now!"

“Once a child gets used to a particular flavor of baby formula, they will continue to drink it. If they buy a can from us and gain our trust, they will then buy the same formula offline. If they don’t take advantage of this period to gain some traffic, they will only be eliminated by other big companies in the future!”

Because of past safety issues, the domestic market generally trusts foreign brands.

In reality, others can also achieve such impressive sales figures. If any of the top three richest people in China, along with a powerful professor or official, were to jointly endorse the product and be willing to guarantee it with their lives, trust could be restored even without open-source manufacturing processes.

Even the CEOs of the two major milk powder groups don't dare, let alone anyone else.

This time, Yi Xiannong was willing to risk his life to guarantee it, and Tian Ersan also staked his company and his promising future. It was another combination of a young genius and an old genius, which quickly ignited public opinion.

Back in her office, Hua Linyan was still shocked by the number.

Hua Linyan asked the others, "How many years do you think we'd have to work to earn 10 billion?"

Qian Sisi said with a smile, "Why don't you just use a calculator and see?"

Hua Linyan may have decided against it, but she didn't reveal the result.

She no longer felt that a monthly salary of seven or eight thousand was a lot; all she could think about was how to spend over a hundred billion.

Tian Ersan didn't want to meddle in other people's business affairs, so he left them all to Li Chuhong, a female entrepreneur who loved to show off.

Yi Xian Nong quickly announced that production was limited and could not keep up with sales, and for safety reasons, it would only produce 400,000 cans of milk powder per month.

Our original aspiration remains unchanged; we'll still strive for 100!

The chairmen of the top five milk powder groups in the country, as well as presidents of milk powder companies from Europe and the United States, personally came to Tao County and signed contracts with Li Chuhong, the female vice president of Tian Er San, at the county government office.

Neither of the two key figures who drove the price of infant formula down from 400-500 to 250 have come forward.

Nineteen-year-old illiterate female vice president Li Chuhong quickly became the most influential woman of the year, leading a group of vocational school girls to a high-profile interview with reporters.

Tian Ersan has not made any public appearances since August. He has stopped doing live streams, attending any meetings, and accepting any titles.

He bestowed all sorts of entrepreneurial titles upon the company's female managers, refusing to accept any for himself.
