Chapter 68: Barbecue and Exercise
Lin Quan didn't know what it meant to be in short supply, but the bright and confident smile on her sister-in-law's face deeply infected her, so that she no longer had the idea of questioning.
Early the next morning, after Xu Wanning had breakfast, she took two cans of canned food to Hongqi Commune.
When President Chen heard that Xu Zhiqing from Dajiang Village was coming to him, he knew that it was Xu Wanning, so he deliberately pushed down a not very important meeting and received her in his office.
"President Chen, when we built the branch factory a few years ago, I proposed that our branch factory could make canned fruit, do you remember? Fortunately, I successfully made canned yellow peaches and brought them to you to have a look. ”
When President Chen heard that Xu Wanning had really made the canned food, he was immediately interested.
He sat up straight and looked at the two glass jars on the table.
"Isn't this just yellow peach syrup?"
You can understand it that way, too. But the sugar water made by ordinary people can only be eaten at home, and once packaged into canned food, it can be transported over long distances. ”
"Think about it, our black province has this advantage, the winter is cold and freezing, the food is not easy to perish, we can store a part of the durable fruit in winter, and then make it into canned food, so that it can be sold all over the country. ”
President Chen was shaken by what Xu Wanning said.
Seeing this, Xu Wanning immediately opened one of the cans, "President Chen, you taste this taste first." ”
President Chen didn't have much hope, but when he ate the crisp and sweet yellow peach in his mouth, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Don't say it, the yellow peach tastes really good when it does this." ”
For the sake of face, President Chen didn't eat again after a few bites.
"In this way, I asked Director Sun to be found, and we will have a meeting together to discuss your can. If there are no accidents, your branch can produce canned food. ”
"Okay, then I'll wait for good news. ”
President Chen didn't let Xu Wanning wait too long, so he came to her with good news.
"After the unanimous discussion of the leaders of our commune and the leaders of Chunhua Food Factory, your branch can produce canned food. It's just that this pricing issue has to be carefully considered. ”
Xu Wanning and President Chen made a calculation.
The cost of a glass jar with an aluminum lid is about five cents, and if it is required on a large scale, the price at the glass factory can be pressed to between four cents and seven to four cents.
There are at least four more machines for screwing cap vacuuming, and President Chen can help contact the material here, and the manual cost is between 20 and 25.
A glass jar can hold seven to eight taels of yellow peaches, which is the weight after boiling, and if the fresh yellow peaches are fresh, it is about one catty.
The cost of yellow peaches is not high, and there are a large number of yellow peach trees in Dajiang Village alone, not to mention several other villages.
And when the weather gets warmer and the variety of fruits increases, I don't limit myself to just making canned yellow peaches.
But no matter what kind of canned food you make, you need to use a lot of rock sugar.
In these years, sugar stamps are still needed to buy sugar, and the price of rock sugar itself is not low, which is the biggest expense.
In this way, the cost of a canned yellow peach is about one dollar. This is only the cost of canned yellow peaches themselves, excluding manpower and material resources, as well as the costs incurred in later transportation. ”
"So the price can't be too cheap, at least two dollars. ”
"Two dollars?" President Chen frowned.
In their original plan, the price was at most one dollar, but now the cost is one dollar.
Priced at two dollars, does anyone really buy it?
"President Chen, for the people of Hedong Town and even Hei Province, this price is indeed not cheap, but if you think about it from a distance, if our canned food can be sold to the Beijing Sea Market, this price can be doubled on the original basis. ”
There are many wealthy people in Jingshi, and they must have seen or bought canned food from the Friendship Store before.
But things in the Friendship Shop require foreign exchange tickets, not to mention, and the price is very expensive.
Xu Wanning remembered that the original body had bought canned food a few times before, and the price was more than five yuan, and the amount in it was pitiful. With her appetite, she ate it in three or two bites.
And the canned yellow peaches that their branch is about to produce are really domestic, don't say it, the amount is still large.
Don't worry about selling at all.
"But our Black Province is far away from Jingshi Haishi, and whether this canned food can be shipped out is still a problem. ”
Even if it is shipped out, it may not be sold.
Xu Wanning smiled: "President Chen, have you forgotten Minister Zhang and Deputy Director Xu?"
"These two are in charge of food safety, our canned food should be really good, do you think they will be indifferent?"
President Chen slapped his head suddenly.
Look at him, he forgot such an important thing.
The reason why Dajiang Village was able to surpass other towns and establish a branch factory was not because of Xu Wanning, a well-known young man!
Deputy Director Xu is Xu Wanning's second brother, so why would he support his own sister?
The biggest concern is gone, President Chen immediately made a decision, and the branch factory will produce canned food!
However, in the beginning, the amount should not be too large.
What if it doesn't sell?
"It will take another month to make the glass jars and machines, and in this month, I have to hurry up and build the branch, and at the same time, I also have to select the employees of the branch, and once the branch is completed, we will officially put it into production." ”
President Chen said very happily: "You are the person in charge of the branch, and you are fully responsible for the selection of employees." As for the upfront input cost, you make a list, and the finance department will allocate money to you after reviewing that there are no problems. ”
After finalizing the details with President Chen, Xu Wanning left his office.
As soon as she stepped out of the commune gates, she heard her name being called from behind.
Xu Wanning came back to her senses and saw Director Sun who was trotting over with a big belly.
"Xu Zhiqing, I heard Director Xu say, you made the canned yellow peaches? ”
The canned yellow peaches are really delicious, as the director of the food factory, he usually eats good things, but it is the first time to eat such delicious canned fruits.
"Director Sun, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, the main thing is that I made a total of two cans, and I brought them all to the commune. But don't worry, after our branch is built, I will definitely leave you a few cans of the first batch of canned yellow peaches produced. ”
In these years, no matter what factory is owned by the state, Director Sun was only appointed to the position of the food factory, not that Chunhua Food Factory is in charge of him.
So Xu Wanning didn't need to go out of his way to please him.
Director Sun could only return disappointed.
Xu Wanning was in a good mood, and went to the post office again.
