Urban Sims

Went to a high-end restaurant nearby for lunch. In the afternoon, Zhou Ming drove to the high-tech park.

Demon Liquid Research Institute.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou."

As soon as we entered the company, the two girls at the front desk smiled and bowed in greeting.

"Mr. Zhou."

"Mr. Zhou."

In the corridor, the staff members who were coming in and out were all wearing uniforms and had work badges on their chests. When they saw the boss arriving, they all greeted him politely.

Zhou Ming nodded slightly and nodded to them.

Zhou Ming is quite satisfied with the atmosphere in the research institute. The company has become more popular and all work is on track. Any visitor who comes to this research institute will not believe that this company has more than 300 employees. It is a formal company with very complete rules and regulations and well-organized research work. It has been established for less than 3 months.

Of course, improving the system is one thing. The most important thing is that the boss of this company is willing to spend money and spend money vigorously.

In less than three months, 150 million yuan was spent.

The average salary of employees reaches 20,000, which is 30% higher than the industry average... This company is not stingy with outstanding talents.

Coupled with the few recipes Zhou Ming came up with, the results came out very quickly.

In the laboratory.

On the experimental table in front of Zhou Ming, there were three liquids in beakers.

The leader of the project team, Tian Yuanhao, a young doctor in his thirties, adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, pointed at a cup of golden samples, and explained to Zhou Ming: "Boss, this is High Energy No. 1 The sample of nutrient solution contains 68 kinds of vitamins, amino acids, enzymes, hormones, fats and sugars, with a concentration of 9.3% and an energy density of 114 kcal per 100 grams, which is three times that of cola of the same volume."

Then he pointed to the dark yellow sample in the middle cup and said: "This is Gaoneng No. 2, which contains 75 chemical components with a concentration of 8.5%. Its energy density is smaller than Gaoneng No. 1, only 87 kcal per 100 grams, but There are 8 kinds of hormones in it, four more than No. 1, and the hormone content is also higher. After drinking it, people will be more excited and last longer!"

Finally, he pointed to the light yellow sample on the far right and said: "This is Gaoneng No. 3. It contains 44 chemical components with a concentration of 11.4%. Because of the increased sugar content, the energy density is the highest among the three nutrient solutions. , close to 130 calories per 100 grams, the sustained effect of Gao Neng No. 3 is weak, but the short-term energy supplement effect is the best, and the preparation cost is the lowest among the three nutrient solutions.”

Three types of high-energy nutrient solutions, each with its own advantages, disadvantages and characteristics.

High Energy No. 1 has a balanced effect, high energy density, comprehensive nutrition, long duration and few side effects.

High-energy No. 2 has the best effect, the most complete nutrients, and lower energy density, but it has a better effect of stimulating human body potential and has the longest duration, but it also has the greatest side effects.

High-energy No. 3 is less effective, has the fewest types of chemical substances, but has the highest energy density, better short-term effects, and the lowest preparation cost.

General manager Gao Wenhui on the side also said to Zhou Ming:

“Boss, Gaoneng No. 1 focuses on balance, safety, and few side effects, so its promotion value is high; Gaoneng No. 2 is the most effective, but has the highest cost and serious side effects, and may not be approved by the Food and Drug Administration; Gaoneng No. 3 The cost is the lowest and the effect is good. We can set up a production line and bring it to the market on a large scale.”

Therefore, facing these three high-energy nutrient solutions that have been successfully developed, the question before Zhou Ming is: which one should be mass-produced first?

Everything has a sequence, and the process of preparing nutrient solution is complicated. It doesn't mean just throwing a bunch of messy seasonings into the water like making soup in the kitchen. There are hundreds of preparation processes for each type of nutrient solution. And in order to reduce chemical reactions between each other, each process must be operated in strict accordance with the regulations, and no wrong step can be made.

Therefore, the production lines cannot be shared. The mass production of each nutrient solution requires a production line.

If we consider it from a pure market perspective, the market prospect of High Energy No. 3 is much greater than that of No. 1. Coupled with the cost advantage, it is conceivable that once the market is opened, it will definitely make huge profits.

That money is earned in hundreds of millions or billions.

Therefore, Gao Wenhui also suggested: "Boss, let's mass-produce High-energy No. 3 first. Our researchers have done comparative tests. Even High-energy No. 3, which is the least effective, has a higher energy density than the Red Bull drink on the market. times, the effective time is 50% longer, the side effects are smaller, and the preparation cost is similar to theirs. I think if our company launches a similar functional drink, it will gain a large market share."

but……

Zhou Ming fell into deep thought.

Gao Neng No. 3 can make money, but it is not what he wants most.

What he needs most is a high-energy No. 1.

Only High Energy No. 1 can allow him to enter the "Sims" game and replenish all the necessary elements needed by his body so that he will not lose weight while in a dormant state.

"Lao Gao, how much does it cost to introduce a beverage production line?" Zhou Ming asked Gao Wenhui.

"It depends on the level of technological advancement. A beverage production line with manual stations is relatively cheap, priced between 5 million and 50 million. If it is an unmanned, fully automatic production line, it costs at least 100 million, and more. It’s 500 million.”

"The high-energy nutrient solution developed by our company has complicated preparation processes and precise operation requirements, so we must buy a highly intelligent and fully automatic production line. The introduction price is at least 300 million or more."

Gao Wenhui said.

"300 million?"

Zhou Ming was slightly stunned. The price was really a bit expensive.

What's more, in order for the Demonic Liquid Research Institute to be put into use as soon as possible, the money he spent has far exceeded his previous estimate. The 30 to 50 million yuan was just a rough investment, and he used the money he earned from that trip to the Omen Casino. It's just that I invested everything in, and then I saw the more obvious results.

There are fewer places to spend money now, but there are more than 300 people in the company, and their monthly salary is more than 6 million.

The money left in Zhou Ming's hand was only enough for two months' salary.

This does not include other expenses.

"It's only been a few days, why have I become a pauper again?"

Gao Wenhui also said that it would cost more than 300 million to build a beverage production line...

Zhou Ming felt that his head was a little big. Now he had gold fingers all over his body. Logically speaking, he didn't have to worry about having no money to spend. He casually took out some high-tech information and wanted to make some money. It must be a few hundred or so. Hundreds of billions of dollars were desperately sent to him, but this way of making money was too ostentatious and would be targeted by various forces, causing endless trouble.

After all, famous celebrities and wealthy celebrities are completely different concepts.

Unless he can figure out some way to make a lot of money while attracting less attention.

And until he has enough ability to protect himself, he will not be targeted by all forces.

Recently, Zhou Ming also had a solution model in his mind that could solve the problem of lack of money in the long term.

After thinking about it, he said to Gao Wenhui: "Lao Gao, you go to the market first, find out the price of a fully automated beverage production line, and put forward our needs. If the price is right, we will first buy a production line for mass production of high-energy No. 1 nutrient solution. , don’t worry about money, I will find a way to raise it.”

this……

Gao Wenhui was slightly stunned and said in confusion: "Boss, the market audience of Gaoneng No. 1 is still relatively small, and the price is also very expensive. If you want to make a quick profit, I suggest you go to Gaoneng No. 3 first, and wait until you have money. Go to the high-energy No. 1 production line again!”

He knew that this young boss was not a second-generation rich man and did not have a lot of money on hand. Spending more than RMB 100 million to start a business was already a bit beyond his expectation. Now, to build a production line, he would need to spend several hundred million more. , even most of the rich second generation have to worry about how they can get so much money.

So, regardless of whether the boss liked to hear it or not, he still put forward his suggestion.

Zhou Ming smiled faintly and said: "Don't worry, it's only a few hundred million. It's not a big problem. Just follow my instructions. Go to Gaoneng 1 first, and Gaoneng 3 won't have to wait too long. There are two production lines." I will have all the money.”

He understood what Gao Wenhui meant, but what he urgently needed now was the high-energy No. 1 nutrient solution, not the high-energy No. 3 that ordinary people drink.

And he is the most important customer, the Demonic Liquid Research Institute, and his needs must be met first.

Upon hearing that the boss said there would be no shortage of money, Gao Wenhui nodded and said nothing more.

It's a bit late. I'm in a bad state recently. I'm in an adjustment period. Updates will be slower. Sorry...
