Chapter 405 Snow banana milk, transnational trade

2019 5 Month 23 Day.

Yangcheng, Haiyue District.

Yijia chain department store.

The middle-aged proprietress, dressed casually and without makeup, was scrolling through her phone boredly when an old customer walked in.

The proprietress gave him a look, the old customer nodded, and then walked straight to the freezer.

Yangcheng in May is already extremely hot, and the demand for frozen drinks has always been great.

The regular customer skillfully opened the door of his freezer, his eyes fell on the [Tao Hua Yuan] drink he often drank, and he suddenly noticed the drink in the yellow package next to him.

"Huh?" The old customer was a little surprised, he vaguely saw the logo of [Shen Nong Special Drink] on the yellow packaging of the drink.

Old customers who often drink [Taohuayuan] know that [Taohuayuan] is a product developed by a company called [Shennong Special Drink], and behind the company [Shennong Special Drink] is [Shennong Special Drink], which has recently become popular. orchard】.

The regular customer thought about it, and instead of taking the planned [Peach Blossom Yuan], he took out this yellow packaged drink and put it in his hand for a look. It really said [Shen Nong Special Drink], and after another look, [ Snow Banana Milk】The four big characters came into his eyes.

He looked back at the proprietress, and asked, "Madam proprietress, has the [Taohuayuan] company launched a new product?"

The proprietress moved her eyes away from the phone, and saw the yellow packaged drink in the hands of the old customers, she nodded, and said, "Yes, it is the new product of [Taohuayuan] company, [Snow Banana Milk]."

The proprietress didn't want this drink at first, but the business of [Shen Nong Special Drink] forcibly stuffed it in, and even stuffed a few boxes, saying that this is a must-sell item, otherwise, there would be no display fee.

[Shennong Special Drink] The company pays 200 yuan for the display fee a month, and [Taohuayuan] also has a group of loyal customers. Although the first-line brands such as Coca-Cola and iced black tea are not moving fast, But there are always a few people looking for it every now and then, so it doesn't matter if you don't want to sell [Peach Blossom Dollar].

After comprehensive consideration, the proprietress reluctantly took a few boxes.

"How much?" The old customer asked with interest.

【Peach Blossom Yuan】Although it is good, but a little tired, there is a new product, you can try it.

"This one is a bit more expensive. The canned ones are 10 yuan, and the sticks are even more expensive, 12 yuan." The proprietress said.

This price is almost 4 times that of the same size, like a can of Pepsi only 2.5 yuan, a bottle of Coke is only 3 yuan.

Regular customers are hesitant.

The proprietress met and reminded him, "By the way, this [Snow Banana Milk] is made of [Snow Banana], and [Snow Banana] is a [Genetically Modified Food]. Do you know that? Look on the package, there is a small mark , it says [genetically modified]."

The regular customer heard the words, carefully looked at the drink in his hand, and really found this logo.

"It's just one bottle, there's nothing to worry about, it's not too bad, it's not too bad!" The old customer said indifferently. Food] is not as fearful as those [reverse factions] on the Internet!
The old customer pondered for a while, then made up his mind, took a bottle of [Snow Banana Milk] to the cashier, and scanned the code to pay.

The proprietress said admiringly, "You are the first one to buy it."

"Really?" The old customer grinned, opened the lid and took a big gulp.

I just feel that my whole body is covered by a freezing cold, which is a pleasure in the hot summer, and then there is an endless aftertaste of glutinous sweetness, and the different flavors of banana and milk are perfectly integrated.

The taste is too unique.

The regular customer couldn't help but drank a few more gulps, and the 500ml [Snow Banana Milk] was about to run out.

He burped loudly.

"How does it taste?" The proprietress couldn't help asking curiously as she looked at the [feat] of the old customers.

"Not bad." The old customer said, "Give me another bottle, forget it, two bottles."

"This is [genetically modified food], aren't you afraid? Is it really so delicious?" The proprietress became even more curious.

"Afraid of an adventure! Taste, you will know after drinking it." The old customer smiled, paid the bill, took a few bottles of [Snow Banana Milk] and left, leaving the proprietress to look at [Snow Banana Milk] for a long time. , especially the [Genetically Modified] logo on the package of [Snow Banana Cow], but in the end it still didn’t bite.

This is the status quo of [Snow Banana Milk] being introduced to the market.

Because of the label [genetically modified] and the high price, sales are slow.

[Chaoqun Group] had already expected this situation.

That is, because it is made into a packaged drink, the shelf life at room temperature can be extended to 9 months.

In addition, [Shennong Special Drink] has stable dealers and distributors across the country, and the goods are laminated layer by layer, a large part of the inventory is removed, and a large part of the cold storage area is saved.

But [Chaoqun Group] still has more than 300 million tons of [Snow Banana] in cold storage across the country.

Fortunately, there is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and there is another village with dark willows and flowers.

[Snow Banana] was blocked in the domestic listing, but it passed the certification of the United States, and [Chaoqun Group] and [Amazon] successfully reached a cooperation agreement.

The United States is a major country in the research and development of [genetically modified] technology, and it is also the largest producer and consumer of [genetically modified crops] in the world. At present, the United States has approved the industrialization of 22 kinds of [genetically modified crops]. More than 11.3% of the area, of which corn, soybean, cotton, sugar beet and other [genetically modified] varieties are planted more than 40%.

According to the Grocers Association (GMA), 75%-80% of food in the United States contains genetically modified ingredients.

[GMO food] in the United States mainly comes from [GMO] soybeans, corn, rapeseed, sugar beets, papaya, apples, potatoes, etc., common edible oils, pastries, potato chips, soybean protein powder, lecithin, corn beet syrup, artificial Butter, corn starch, beverages, cereals and other related processed products are basically [GMO] products.

For [GMO food], Americans are much more tolerant.

However, [Snow Banana] has too high requirements for cold chain conditions.

Not only storage, but also transportation needs to use cold chain, even if it is retailed, it needs to be refrigerated.

If it is in a large supermarket such as Wal-Mart, it is not a big problem.

However, e-commerce platforms such as [Amazon] cannot use cold chain delivery for every [Snow Banana] order.

This cost will be so high that neither consumers nor e-commerce platforms can accept it.

You know, [Snow Banana] is priced at 100 yuan/catties in China, which is almost 18 US dollars/lb, not counting the transportation cost, and it needs to be sold at 20 US dollars/lb to get the same income as in China.

But if you include transportation costs, the price will soar.

Americans suck the blood of the whole world, so they are rich, but they can't afford [Snow Banana] at this price.

Therefore, we can only work around it, ripening [Snow Banana], grinding, reheating and sterilizing a series of processing, and finally centrifuged to obtain transparent banana juice, and then adding the proportion of milk, and finally we can get pure [Snow Banana] milk]!

However, the [Snow Banana Milk] drink processed by this method is no worse than the original [Snow Banana] in taste, and the nutrition is also well preserved, but the most important [Vitality Content] has been reduced a lot , and with the passage of time, the [Vitamin Qi Content] in the [Banana Milk] drink will be lost to almost nothing.

Of course, there are also advantages, that is, there is great convenience in storage and transportation, and cold chain transportation is no longer needed.

This is a big plus for sales!
