Chapter 152: The First Wave of Sales

In the sound of firecrackers, the honeycomb coal plant officially opened, and it looked a little bleak, except for a large area of cleared out of the site, the rest was only a thatched warehouse, piles made of large wooden sticks, covered with rice grass, and some honeycomb coal processed yesterday was piled up, as well as dozens of furnace samples.

Originally, the stove should be insured with an iron sheet, but this will undoubtedly increase the cost, and the commune also lacks equipment for processing, so according to the style of "steamer", a layer of bamboo is put on the stove, and the bamboo used is composed of Nanzhu and moso bamboo, which are specially treated, such as burning it with an open flame, which can prevent the bamboo from rotting and moldy, and it is not easy to be ignited, and it can be used for many years.

The cost of the stove is really quite low, so Fang Dajun doesn't plan to make money on the stove, and after the market is spread out first, it can be "upgraded", and then he will make a fortune in the iron stove.

When it opened, he still put him in front, Wang Hongwen's identity was not suitable, and Han Mei was not suitable as a people's teacher, but he was the only one in front.

The process is also simple, the commune cadres who come are all acquaintances, not to mention the villagers, and the next thing is more important, depending on the market reaction.

After so many days, some of the salesmen who were sent out have come back one after another, which is enough to cope.

――――――――

The next day said the 26th, the Beidou double number does not rush to the market, when the flat is said to be the double number, the street is very deserted, and it is okay to change the weekend, because there are children out to play, but today is Tuesday, the class said, it should be more cold.

But now Beidou is abnormal, and early in the morning there is the sound of beating drums on the center court......

Fang Dajun's brewing first wave of sales is about to open, the coal plant is a private enterprise, which is not in accordance with the rules, it is currently attached to the name of the cement plant, and the procedures of the cement plant have run down, by Wang Hongwen went to the county to register the "Jiaoshan People's Cement Factory", collectively undertaken, their respective shares naturally cannot be registered, but distributed privately, now everyone's credit value is very high, and the lack of trust between people has not yet reached the level of lack of trust, but the trust will slowly become indifferent with the times.

Han Mei for this morning, made a special trip to transfer the course, the chemistry course will not be opened until the third year of junior high school, she took two of the classes, the course is actually very easy, the chemistry class is rarely connected, because directly with the third year of junior high school, her level is excellent, plus another chemistry teacher is about to retire, she can be said to be the only chemistry teacher in the Beidou region, she is naturally very tough in the school, and even the principal has to back down when she is unreasonable.

Han Mei and his family live in the town, and if they want to open Beidou's market, they have to rely on the two of them to help secretly.

"Knock knock~!"

That scene was really noisy with gongs and drums, firecrackers, red flags, and crowds...... Belch! It's a little exaggerated, but the center court is really lively, surrounded by many people, and there is already a posture that is not inferior to rushing to the market.

Fang Dajun had already gotten up before dawn to arrange various affairs, used ten bamboo trucks to pull a hundred stoves to the town, and transferred two tons, a total of 1,600 honeycomb coal with a diameter of five inches, weighing 1,250 grams, and 16 eyes, and asked the workers to stack the honeycomb coal one meter high and stack it neatly in the field.

Then he slaughtered two fat pigs directly, but only the bones, fat intestines and blood were taken, and the rest of the meat was sent to the cement factory as usual, because Ming'er had reached the ten-day cycle, and the workers could divide the meat and take a day off.

In addition, two big roosters were prepared, as well as 20 catties of soybeans, the price of soybeans followed the price of rice, Beidou's rice is currently a dime and two cents, the county is a dime and three cents, and the city ranges from a dime and four cents to a dime and eight cents, and there is still a small gap in prices between urban and rural areas, but it is not as big as in later generations.

In addition, the price of corn is only about half of rice, at present it is about six or seven cents a catty, and the price of sweet potatoes is directly kneeling, a pound is about one and a half cents, only one-tenth of rice, said to be one and a half cents, this price will only be high and not low, and may even be less than a penny a catty.

Five catties of sweet potatoes are sold for four cents for a pound of vermicelli, which is equivalent to a pound of sweet potatoes sold for eight cents, which is equivalent to adding five times the value of sweet potatoes, and if you count the powder slag, it is six times. Thirty years later, some pure sweet potato vermicelli will cost ten yuan a catty, and ordinary inferior products will cost about seven yuan a catty, and the price of sweet potatoes will rise by about 20 times.

Shaking his head, he pulled his thoughts back to the scene, the reason why he prepared soybeans was because he wanted to make bean curd, which had been beaten into a slurry early in the morning, and he used a sweet potato grinder to beat it, but he just changed it to a slightly thinner sieve, and a pound of soybeans can produce seven bowls of old bean curd, about thirty bowls of relatively good soybean milk. In later generations, a pound of soybeans cost about three yuan, and a bowl of soy milk cost one yuan.

After the soybeans are beaten into slurry, they directly filter out the bean dregs in the vermicelli field, and filter the sweet potato powder dregs is a way, now the soybeans are ripe one after another, Fang Dajun is ready to buy a large number of them, which can be processed into tofu as a dish for workers, and can also be processed into soybean milk, which can be drunk cold to quench thirst in summer, and warm up in winter. Tofu is also a common dish eaten by every household, and it is considered a hard dish after aging.

Because soybeans do not need to be requisitioned, the Beidou area can buy a lot of them, which is enough for workers to need for a year.

Before dawn, he asked the workers to set up a large cauldron, at the bottom of which was a giant honeycomb coal stove, which could hold three pieces of honeycomb coal on one floor, and a total of twelve pieces could be placed in the furnace, and at most four pieces could be placed in the furnace of ordinary families, which could meet the needs of ordinary life.

In addition, there is a kind of super giant, which can put twenty pieces of honeycomb coal at a time, and the stove is super large, which is specially designed to hold the banquet, and the firepower is very domineering, which can defeat the firepower of liquefied gas and natural gas, and of course the consumption is also very large.

Twelve pieces of honeycomb coal into the furnace, after ignition, the flame is very gratifying, on top is a large cauldron, very large, is left from the previous big canteen, with soaking sand stone friction to dispose of the rust, the pot is filled with water, the fat intestines, two chickens, as well as the pig's thigh bones, vertebrae, etc. There was also a cauldron next to it, but it was not lit.

After the fat intestines are cooked, they scoop up the pot, and then they are cut into small sections, and it seems to have become a temporary kitchen, and the day is getting brighter, and the soup in the big pot is almost ready, but the heat is not enough, and the chicken has to be boiled until it is rotten.

At eight o'clock in the morning, it was completely lively, and the invited gong, drum, and suona teams also arrived, and even the cow lantern performance was there.

"Huzi, you guys can be optimistic, see what I do today, the day after tomorrow, you will go to Shehong Town to do it once, and then you will disperse and go to the nearby towns to do it." Fang Dajun explained that he is now engaged in propaganda. Like in later generations, even if the product is wholesaled to regional agents, the head office will send sales representatives to engage in publicity, such as often seeing a certain drink on the street in promotion, the purpose of which is not to negotiate an order, but to cooperate with the agent to carry out publicity.

So the doorway of sales is not so simple, even after the honeycomb coal is wholesaled, even if the profit has been made, but it also has to spend manpower and material resources to help promote, without it, just because the agent sells well, then the head office will naturally make a lot of money, in turn the agent can not sell, even if the head office changes other agents, the situation will be similar, and sometimes the quality of the product is not the quality of the product, but advertising.

As a traverser, Fang Dajun naturally recognizes this model, so he doesn't think that everything will be fine just by simply wholesale the product, but to cooperate with the publicity, just like Pepsi and Coke, but others are not going to place advertisements and organize personnel to carry out regional promotion on the spot.

"Boss, don't worry, we will definitely learn by heart." Xiao Zhonghu patted his chest and said, went out for a turn and came back, his vision was broadened, and he also insisted on the determination to follow the "boss", listen to the boss, you will be able to have a good life in the future, otherwise you will wait to earn work points, you can't eat enough all year round, and you can't get a few dollars at the end of the year, and it is difficult to even buy new clothes and buy New Year's goods, which is not the life he wants.

Fang Dajun nodded and said with a smile: "The coal used in Beidou Town was secretly sold by our Jiaoshan, and at present, I have counted it, counting the employees of the unit, there are about one hundred and fifty households living in the street, of which about fifty are burning coal, and the other hundred are using electricity, tell me, how many households can honeycomb coal be sold to?" Qin Er, can you also talk about it? ”

Qin Er thought for a while and replied, "At most, it's a hundred!" ”

Xiao Zhonghu kept an eye on it, this is when he saw that the boss's expression was not happy, then he couldn't answer a hundred households, but this was also his answer, he didn't have time to think about it, so he said stubbornly: "I think it's one hundred and fifty households." ”

Fang Dajun was happy and asked, "Huzi, can you tell me the reason?" ”

Xiao Zhonghu's face turned red suddenly, "I'm messy!" ”

Fang Dajun was speechless for a moment, and said, "Yulan, Jinchi, you two also talk about it?" "But this morning, the temporary stove was also made by Li Zhengyang's family, and Jin Chi has retired from the position of substitute teacher, and he arranged for him to go to the coal plant to help Yang Chuntao with statistics.

The statistician is not finance, but it involves finance, because he will calculate the accounts according to the statistics at that time, such as how many raw materials have been purchased, how many workers have worked, etc., he can't count it himself, so he has to arrange people who are at ease to do it, and he is a hundred people who can rest assured of Jinchi's character.

Jin Chi shook his head and said: "I think it is at most a hundred households, you think, it turns out that most of the coal burners are local households, not unit buildings, there are stoves in the old houses, coal is only six yuan a ton, honeycomb coal is forty yuan a ton, change me, even if honeycomb coal is more convenient, I will also use coal." ”

Fang Dajun smiled, but said, "No, the answer is one hundred and fifty households, I'm just asking you the reason now." ”
