Whether a product itself is easily copied is two different concepts: whether a copycat manufacturer can turn over the genuine manufacturer.

Only the small peasant society in ancient times would desperately keep the so-called secret recipe.

The interesting thing about industry now is that under the conditions of equal technical strength and labor costs, the pioneers are not afraid of imitation because of the larger production scale and lower unit cost; even if high-end technology has obtained a complete set of production process documents through various methods, it has finally collected all the equipment that meets the standards, and without long debugging, it is almost impossible to produce products.

The craftsmanship of "Monopoly" itself is not complicated, and there is no threshold for imitation. Even if the female poacher does not happen, once the sales of "Monopoly" make others feel profitable, the imitation of "Monopoly" will appear immediately.

Doug is not satisfied with the current production process of "Monopoly" and is too inefficient.

Not even satisfied with the process that is about to upgrade to the pipeline.

But this is not important. The most important thing now is how to quickly distribute the goods when the advertising is already effective.

This involves channel construction.

Doug's positioning of "Monopoly" is entertainment fast-selling products. Only when fast-selling products are cheap enough and easy to purchase can they use scale advantages to offset material costs and channel costs.

For "The Monopoly" sold by Yale students for one dollar, Doug expected the price to be thirty cents when it was sold to New Haven people. This is the price of a silver coin voucher and several copper coins.

But the selling price is not the ex-factory price, Doug's estimated ex-factory price is ten cents.

With the factory price of ten cents, only if the monthly sales reach more than 10,000 yuan, the material cost, labor cost and transportation cost can be reduced to about nine cents. This is still the case of good management and low waste.

Isn’t this state of losing money if you are not careful?

But I'm sorry, this is modern industrial production.

Doug is not sure whether his Clayden printing and dyeing factory can achieve this level. He has already expected losses in the early stage. In this case, those who are willing to imitate are either stubborn or have feelings.

When genuine products only cost thirty cents, does anyone want to buy a copycat that costs fifty cents?

The remaining twenty cents are Doug's profits for future big dealers and retailers.

You can never make money by yourself.

Even if you establish a large monopoly consortium, you still need to pay wages to your employees, right?

Twenty cents profit and relatively low selling price, the former ensures that some merchants are willing to put Monopoly on the shelves, and the latter ensures that someone is willing to buy Monopoly. Of course, merchants are more willing to put high-profit and good-selling products in the most conspicuous place.

"Ross, you just need to make sure you have a good birth. You can report other things like me, but don't worry too much." Doug comforted the capable Ross.

Then he said to the female workers who didn't look very useful and couldn't even do a good job of poaching, "If anyone comes to contact you, you can still be like before. You can also tell them that I understand. It's okay to tell them everything that happened today and what I said."

"Okay! Don't stand there either. You management teams have been away for some time, and the bottom should be very messy. Listen, you can already hear their noisy voices. Okay, please go down and maintain order."

Doug saw Ross and several female workers looking at him with incredible eyes, waved his hand to drive them away.

His time is not as cheap as these female workers. Doug, who has already scanned the newspaper today, is now going out to talk to people about work.

As he walked down the stairs, Doug saw Rose maintaining production order.

Several female workers and small leaders no longer looked as reserved when they were in his office.

He walked out of the factory and walked on the streets of New Haven, without calling a carriage.

After a craze of Yale students a few days ago, New Haven's passenger and freight markets were in a state of turmoil.

The overly high premium at that time gave them incorrect returns expectations.

Do you really think you will meet Yale's stupid one day?

Doug felt that they needed to be calm and calm, and let the market return to rationality, rather than floating on the clouds like they are now.

New Haven, a city built because of the harbour, is not big in Doug's eyes.

In fact, even in New York and London, this era is not big in Doug's opinion.

At most, a population of several million is only a second- and third-tier city in the country where he once lived.

The population has not exceeded 10 million. Even if it is not enough for first-tier cities, it has not reached 30 million. It is considered a super city.

Moreover, cities that do not clean up low-end populations are far from being considered a good example.

The first person Doug is going to meet today is Andreas, a German native who owns three grocery stores. In the Smith debt incident, he intersected with Doug as a creditor.

"Hey! My friend, I finally waited for you!" When Andreas saw Doug at the door of the store, he immediately hugged him exaggeratedly.

The stereotypes of Germans are generally calm, calm and meticulous.

But there are many Germans who are not? A German pork chop raises hundreds of people with various personalities. They can't be like teddy dogs, uniformly, right?

"Yes! My friend, long time no see!" Doug patted Andreas on the back.

"How are you doing recently? Are you doing well?" Andreas let go of Doug and looked up and down.

"It's okay." Doug replied.

"Oh... I really didn't expect that Smith would die like this." Andreas shook his head and sighed, "I heard that your servant shot him to death?"

"Yes. After you left that day, he carried a knife and said he wanted to kill me. He almost stabbed me, but fortunately my servant..." Doug said.

"Okay! I don't miss Smith anymore!" Andreas patted Doug on the shoulder, "Let's go inside and talk about cooperation. I heard that you, Monopoly, have made Yale students crazy? The price of the carriage has not yet fallen!"

"Yes!" Doug followed Andreas in and cooperated with a wry smile, "Didn't you see that I didn't even come in a carriage today? I can't get up!"

"Haha! How could you, Principal Wolsey's student, not get on the carriage?" Andreas' barbell-like laughter ran through the wooden structure of the entire grocery store.

The clerk and old customers are no longer surprised, while the new customers are shocked by the laughter.
