The rise of nanometers

Just when Meng Yang and Yi Li started taking action.

As a company that monopolizes domestic food packaging, Tetra Pak also knew about the establishment of the Farm Reclamation Alliance.

Tetra Pak's Huaguo branch in Magic City.

The president of the branch, Ludden Victor, is a middle-aged Nordic man with black hair and brown eyes. Several senior executives were in the office at this time.

"Victor, I have learned about some situations of the Farm Reclamation Alliance through relationships. The development potential of the other party is very strong. If we can win their packaging market, it will have a huge consolidation effect on our business in China." Su Yan Xin said seriously.

Victor Ludden flipped through the relevant content and found many problems: "Raphael (Su Yanxin), this Fengmin Agriculture does not seem to produce room temperature milk. They only produce pasteurized milk and yogurt. Are you sure?" Will they buy our equipment?”

"Why not?" Su Yanxin smiled.

The reason why he is so confident is that Tetra Pak's development strategy is to sell equipment at low prices, basically selling half for half free, and then relying on selling packaging technology, packaging boxes, and patents to achieve profits.

Faced with a set of equipment that originally cost tens of millions, it only costs a few million, or even hundreds of thousands. For those small and medium-sized dairy companies, it is a temptation that is difficult to refuse.

It's just that these milk companies and beverage companies were not aware of Tetra Pak's intentions at the beginning. When a market monopoly was formed, it also meant that other packaging companies would retreat and lose the checks and balances of their competitors. Tetra Pak could naturally harvest milk easily. enterprises, beverage enterprises.

It is precisely with this promotion plan that Tetra Pak has monopolized most of the markets in China and the world.

After discussion with Ludun Victor, Su Yanxin and others, it was decided that Su Yanxin would personally lead the team to negotiate with Lu Province and the Agricultural Reclamation Alliance.

…

the other side.

Snail Industry was also taking action. When Huang Xiuyuan planned to launch the Agricultural Reclamation Alliance, he asked Chang Fuguo to prepare relevant work.

Chang Fuguo led a research team to inspect six packaging boxes and packaging equipment companies in the Pearl River Delta region, and initially determined to acquire two of them.

There are also several suitable small businesses in the inspection team in the Yangtze River Delta region.

The technologies of these companies all have some characteristics, that is, they can compete with Tetra Pak on a specific product, but they cannot compete with Tetra Pak because they lack scale and complete systems.

The goal of Snail Industry is to integrate these small businesses and form their own system.

In fact, Snail Industry has its own basic base in packaging technology, which is to form a new packaging technology system based on silicon nano-coating technology.

Moreover, most products with silicon nano-coating technology have one feature, that is, they can be reused.

Du Jinhua, who has just taken over as Vice President of Snail Industry, is responsible for technical R\u0026D and guidance. He is currently working at the Industrial Product Design Center in Haifeng County, Shanmei.

In the in-depth application of silicon nano-coating technology, this design center assumes a very important task. The previous gas helmet was designed here and the industrialization plan was completed.

As for the in-depth application of nano-coating technology, the design center and the scientific research department have jointly tried many applications.

Of course, the product design center in Haifeng County is biased towards light industrial products in terms of tasks.

There is also a heavy industry product design center in Weifang, Shandong Province.

"Mr. Du, these are the new packaging boxes we developed." Chen Guangming, the leader of the packaging technology team, picked up a cylindrical box.

Du Jinhua took it and found that it was very light: "Is this an ultra-thin silicon nano-aluminum film?"

"Yes, we use aluminum film as the base material, and the inner layer is compounded with silicon nano-coating, which not only ensures the strength of the packaging box, but also ensures safety." Chen Guangming explained.

Du Jinhua put down the box and flipped through the relevant test data.

Regardless of this small packaging box, it actually contains very important technology. The current mainstream packaging boxes in the market usually consist of four types, namely aluminum cans, glass bottles, plastic bottles, and composite boxes (Tetra Pak). Bag).

Among them, the ones with the best food safety are borosilicate glass bottles, followed by cans, followed closely by composite boxes, and finally plastic bottles.

This actually has something to do with the material itself. Among all materials, glass has stable properties and the least amount of harmful substances precipitated. The disadvantage is that it is too heavy. The can itself is an aluminum product, which will form an aluminum oxide film on the surface, but there is a trace amount of aluminum precipitation. Risk, the disadvantage is that the cost is relatively high.

The innermost materials of the plastic bottles and Tetra Pak packs behind them are all plastic. No matter how sophisticated the processing and packaging technology is, it is basically inevitable that trace amounts of particles remain inside the container and polyethylene monomer precipitates.

Therefore, when heating milk, do not throw it in the microwave oven together with the packaging box for convenience, or boil it in water. During the heating process, the plastic inside the container will accelerate to precipitate.

Perhaps the precipitation of this kind of plastic will not be fatal for a while, but they have many potential risks and are very likely to induce anemia, memory loss, cancer, leukemia and the like over time.

After switching to silicon nano-coating, the precipitation of trace substances is fundamentally isolated. Even if it is heated directly, there will be no risk.

"Is this thermal recovery test really the same as the report?" Du Jinhua asked, pointing to one of the items.

Chen Guangming picked three of the various packaging boxes from a row, opened the bottle caps, squeezed the packaging boxes into a ball, and then used a hair dryer to blow hot air.

The three dumplings quickly expanded and recovered, just like dehydrated vegetables do after rehydration. After kneading three times in a row, it can still recover quickly without affecting its sealing and use.

"Not bad." Du Jinhua saw this and felt that this technology was very good: "Guangming, have you evaluated the production cost?"

Chen Guangming nodded: "After preliminary calculations, the material cost is about one-third of Tetra Pak. Adding equipment depreciation and processing costs, as well as additional intellectual property rights, the cost is 60% to 70% of Tetra Pak. "

"Mr. Chang's side is also fast. We will be able to fight back soon." Du Jinhua clenched his fists.

The core technologies of domestic milk companies and beverage companies are all in the hands of Tetra Pak. Unless Tetra Pak's monopoly is broken, the profits of domestic milk will never increase. This is a key issue.

We must know that dairy companies work hard to produce a bottle of milk. If Tetra Pak is used, half of the profits will be eaten by Tetra Pak, and there will be no development.

Moreover, domestic raw milk, whether imported or domestically produced, costs an average of about 5 yuan per liter, and is showing an upward trend.

Now Fengmin Agriculture's saline-alkali land transformation will effectively reduce the cost of milk. It is expected that the cost of raw milk will drop to about 3 yuan per liter, which is the same as the cost of raw milk originating in the United States and Australia.

Coupled with the local transportation cost and tax cost advantages, as long as the last shortcoming is the packaging cost, the comprehensive cost of a 200 ml bottle of milk drops to about 0.8 yuan.

As for other domestic milk, 200 ml of room temperature milk costs about 1.4 to 1.6 yuan, which is still affordable milk with no guarantee of quality. If it is so-called premium milk, the cost will increase by 30% to 50%.

When you see the costs on both sides, you know that domestic dairy companies make very little profit and are basically working for foreigners.
