Chapter 261 Magical Herbal Tea
Liu Ran picked up the dark, unbranded drink from the table and, after a glance, turned to Chen Yang speechlessly, "Chen Yang, what is this? A product with no certification?"
Su Ya, standing nearby, also came over, picked up the drink, and shook her head, "Could this thing be poisonous?"
Chen Yang immediately opened a bottle and handed it to Liu Ran, "Wife, have a taste. Tell me how this drink is. We can talk about other matters after you've tried it."
Liu Ran pursed her lips. She sniffed the air and said, "The drink smells like traditional Chinese medicine, like Wong Lo Kat herbal tea."
Then, Liu Ran raised the bottle and drank two large gulps. The taste wasn't particularly good.
Liu Ran put the bottle down after finishing.
Soon, her eyes lit up, and she immediately nodded, "Hey! This drink actually tastes quite good."
"Although the taste isn't very appealing, after drinking it, my thirst is clearly quenched, my fatigue is reduced, and even my mood seems to have improved."
Chen Yang chuckled, "Exactly. This drink is that miraculous."
"So the owner of this drink wants to discuss with our Yang Yang Yang company about selling this product online."
"Wife, Manager Su, please consider it!"
Hearing this, Liu Ran replied with some surprise, "Ah? This is the drink they want to collaborate with us on?"
"If it's this kind of drink, it seems quite viable."
Su Ya, standing next to Liu Ran, also opened a bottle and took a few sips.
She smacked her lips and said, "This drink isn't very sweet, nor is it very fragrant. It's not particularly tasty! It's not much better than plain mineral water."
"Wait, no. After drinking it, I really don't feel tired anymore, and my mood has improved. It is indeed a bit magical."
Chen Yang explained, "The formula for this drink wasn't developed using modern industrial methods. It originates from the Spring and Autumn period, from a very famous, now lost prescription called the Immortal's Freedom Soup."
"This prescription was even more famous than the original formula for the Palace Jade Skin Powder!"
"Anyway, the owner of the beverage factory said that the biggest selling points of this drink are health."
"Another point is that it brings joy and lasts for most of the day. Even the most bothersome issues can be instantly resolved with a drink, and one's mood will improve."
Su Ya's eyes lit up. She raised the drink bottle and took several more gulps. After finishing, Su Ya slowly felt its effects.
Then she suddenly clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Holy crap, this drink is truly amazing! If our Yang Yang Yang Group can truly collaborate on this drink, it will definitely sell like hotcakes!"
Liu Ran nodded and said to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, we misunderstood you earlier. You mentioned a drink you wanted to collaborate on with us, and neither of us took it seriously, thinking it might cause health problems."
"If it's this kind of purely herbal herbal tea, which doesn't bring any side effects like excessive sugar intake, and can also make people feel joyful."
"We can definitely collaborate on this herbal tea drink, and we'd be thrilled."
Su Ya also chimed in, "The beverage market is incredibly vast. Just look at Coca-Cola. Their group relies on this one beverage, and their current market value is among the top 100 globally."
"The key is that besides having a slightly better taste, Coca-Cola has many drawbacks."
"High sugar content, corrosive to teeth, and very harmful to health. Athletes dare not drink such beverages."
"Even so, Coca-Cola still makes a fortune every year."
"If this herbal tea drink can be partnered with us, and we are granted exclusive agency, our company will truly prosper."
Liu Ran added, "This drink is indeed magical, but it still needs the most professional and authoritative testing reports."
"First, does it have a production license, and can it be legally and reasonably produced? Second, since the drink is consumed, it falls under food safety. Therefore, can it pass the food safety inspection?"
Chen Yang chuckled and said, "All these procedures are in place. The only drawback is that the production cost of this drink is a bit high."
"Under mass production conditions, the cost of each bottle is three yuan."
"If mass production isn't achievable, then the cost per bottle will be ten yuan."
"It's precisely because the cost is too high and cannot be reduced that this drink hasn't been widely promoted."
"And the factory is facing bankruptcy, which is why they approached me, hoping I could put in a good word and get a chance to collaborate with our Yang Yang Yang company."
Liu Ran nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes, we absolutely must collaborate! If the cost is ten yuan, we can sell this drink for over twenty-five."
"And as you said, if the volume is very large, the cost can be compressed to around three yuan, which still results in substantial profit."
Su Ya agreed, "Right, as long as this drink has all the necessary permits, proves to bring happiness, and has no side effects, then even selling it at twenty-five yuan per bottle will have a market."
"As long as our Yang Yang Yang brand company leverages its existing brand power and promotes it wholeheartedly, there will be no problem."
Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief seeing Liu Ran agree.
He said, "In that case, I hope we can collaborate as soon as possible."
"Because this drink is selling so poorly, the factory wants your wife to redesign its packaging and give it a new name."
Liu Ran's jaw dropped, "Ah? This drink doesn't even have a name?"
"Alright, it seems it really didn't sell well before. That's strange! The drink's effects are so good, why wasn't it selling?"
"Okay, then I'll stay up tonight to design the packaging and name for this drink."
"Also, Chen Yang, could you arrange for the factory director to meet with me? I want to talk to him in person and sign the contract as soon as possible."
Chen Yang replied, "Sure, how about now? Although it's evening, he's probably not resting yet."
"We can directly sign the contract at the restaurant near the school gate and have a late-night snack, and it'll be done."
Liu Ran naturally agreed. She was very eager to finalize this contract quickly.
Because Liu Ran could see that this "Freedom Herbal Tea" would become a phenomenon.
It would completely replace the Palace Jade Skin Powder and become her company's cash cow.
Although the Palace Jade Skin Powder sold very well and had good effects, cosmetic products typically lasted one to two months.
Many girls didn't wear makeup every day, so a set of cosmetics could last for up to a year.
Therefore, despite the high profit of cosmetics, they couldn't be a long-term stable source of income. But this Freedom Herbal Tea was different.
Once this herbal tea was promoted nationwide, her company would no longer lack cash!
