"Brother Feng, this is a sample of Xiangpiaopiao!"

"Take a look!"

On Guo Fengsheng's office desk, there was a square box containing a powder packet and a straw.

Lin Yifeng frowned as he looked at the milk tea cup in front of him.

"Square?"

Guo Fengsheng nodded as well.

It's more like a yogurt container than an instant milk tea container. The container itself isn't very big, and there's very little inside. There's basically nothing that Lin Yifeng would value.

This square box is even similar to a milk tea cup.

Lin Yifeng put Lin Cuilan in charge of making cup-packaged milk tea.

Faced with this bizarre design, Lin Yifeng did not complain, but instead gently reminded him.

"This shape needs to be modified to ensure it remains round as much as possible."

"Also, we should try our best to ensure that this thing is a complete whole."

"A round cup, with a lid on top, and a straw will do."

Guo Fengsheng nodded slightly.

Lin Yifeng wasn't in a hurry; instead, he first looked at the powder packet.

The packaging of this powder packet is very cheap, you could say it's made of the same material as instant noodle seasoning packets. Plus, with the white powder inside, the whole package is flimsy.

The provided straws weren't very good either; they were just like the transparent straws used for yogurt.

Lin Yifeng stared at the milk tea cup in front of him, his blood pressure soaring. He didn't quite understand how Lin Cuilan had come up with this thing.

However, Lin Yifeng was quite understanding of this.

Among the people of that generation in the 1990s, the two things they saw most often to drink from with straws were yogurt cartons and cola bottles.

Lin Cuilan probably combined these elements to create something like this.

Guo Fengsheng could clearly see that Lin Yifeng was not very satisfied with this, so he lowered his voice and asked Lin Yifeng from the side.

"Brother Feng, where do you think we need to make further changes?"

"a lot of."

Lin Yifeng took a deep breath and rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

"Get me a pen and paper."

Guo Fengsheng was slightly taken aback, then quickly took a clean notebook and handed it to Lin Yifeng.

Lin Yifeng took the pencil and quickly sketched on it. Soon, a cylindrical cup with some curves appeared in front of Guo Fengsheng.

Lin Yifeng pointed to the curve on the cup and explained it to Guo Fengsheng.

"The cups don't have to be made of heat-resistant plastic; they can be replaced with paper cups, which would save on the cost of the cups."

"It's best if it has some curves, so that it feels good enough when you grip it."

“I understand that Lin Cuilan wants to save costs.”

Guo Fengsheng scratched his head awkwardly.

Lin Cuilan had also asked them about this. They had initially designed it to be a plastic cup filled with milk tea powder.

However, after the product was made, they quickly discovered that ordinary plastic bottles could not withstand the high temperature of hot water at all. Basically, as soon as hot water was poured into the cup, it would immediately deform.

The milk tea cup designed by Lin Yifeng costs about 1.5 yuan to produce.

To ensure the cup's durability, Lin Cuilan cut other costs, finally managing to reduce the price to 1.5 yuan.

"Brother Feng, this is my responsibility."

Guo Fengsheng admitted the mistake to Lin Yifeng, explaining that the increased cost of the cups was his idea.

Lin Yifeng didn't seem to care and continued to explain.

"Okay, take the paper cups, add a plastic lid, and send them to the factory for production. Lao Guo, give me a number."

Guo Fengsheng thought about it for a moment and offered a barely acceptable price.

"A construction cost of one cent?"

Lin Yifeng nodded in satisfaction.

This thing is so different from a plastic cup. To make a plastic cup that won't deform when exposed to hot water, it would cost at least 40 cents to make. Using a paper cup would actually save more money.

Plastic isn't expensive, and paper cups aren't expensive either, but heat-resistant plastic cups can cost significantly more.

When you include the ingredients and other things, the price already far exceeds the cost.

"A minor issue."

"If you switch to paper cups and plastic lids, it costs one cent. Let's say our milk tea powder costs three cents, plus the cost of packaging, that's six cents, right?"

"The remaining four cents, two cents of which can be used to package some coconut jelly or pearls."

"The remaining two cents will be divided equally among labor costs and such."

"Old Guo, can you calculate how much it ultimately costs per cup?"

Guo Fengsheng looked at Lin Yifeng with a shocked expression.

"This will work?"

Lin Yifeng smiled and nodded.

The reason why the milk tea industry is so profitable is that the cost is extremely low and the selling price is extremely high.

Lin Yifeng plans to keep the price of bagged milk tea at around 50 cents and the price of cup milk tea at 2 yuan, so that he can fully expand the market.

If you want to buy some milk tea to drink, you can buy a pack for just 50 cents. If you want to try something new, you can add 1.5 yuan to buy a cup of milk tea with pearls and coconut jelly.

This will allow consumers to recognize the differences between different milk teas.

Whether or not pearls are present in bubble tea, they are two different things, and the taste and flavor are completely different.

"Old Guo, change the packaging of the milk tea powder in cup milk tea to paper bags."

"Retail milk tea powder can be packaged in plastic."

"The kind that can be processed and produced continuously."

Lin Yifeng was sketching Guo Fengsheng's drawings in his notebook.

The packaging is a long, thin strip, with each bag of milk tea divided into a long strip in the middle.
