Chapter 36: A Good Revelation
As the island grows, new vegetables grow and bear fruit. This is a great thing, and it can be supplied to the prestige building. At the same time, I found that the first batch of cucumber seedlings began to wilt and wither, so I had to ask the beautiful AI to remove them and replant them with new seeds.
I calculated the time back and forth, and in this alien dimension, the life cycle of these vegetables is about 15 days. They grow fast and grow well, but their life is short, and here accelerates their life process.
There are pros and cons.
Good news for me is that it speeds up the turnover of fresh vegetables.
After receiving the fresh vegetables, Manager Liu of the prestige building specially invited me to his office, handed me cigarettes and tea, and smiled all over his face, as if I was his God of Wealth.
As soon as the new dishes hit the shelves, they were sold out. Manager Liu called me to increase the supply, and a few hundred catties of vegetables are simply not enough to sell in the mall for a day.
I wished I could sell more, but I didn't show it.
"The growth and ripening of those vegetables is not done by manpower, and we can't drive them out by working overtime, which needs to follow the laws of nature. Manager Liu, I also want to supply you with more goods, but I can't do anything about it. ”
I want to get away with it.
"Manager Chen, that's right, I mean I can increase the price, increase it by 5 points compared to those vendors, reduce the supply to them, and increase the quantity for me. This way you can make more profits, and I can sell more. Why wouldn't you? ”
I deliberately held the shelf.
"Manager Liu, it's understandable to make more money in business, but businessmen must also have the moral bottom line of businessmen, we can't damage the interests of others for our own interests, and make the reputation of profiteers real."
Manager Liu smiled awkwardly.
"Manager Chen is noble, and my brother has to admire him, but we still have to talk about business. If my goods are not supplied, my traffic will be reduced, not only for the sales of these vegetables, but also for the sales of other goods. My loss is too great. In order to minimize the loss, I had to turn to Manager Chen, wouldn't it be better if we had money together? ”
I pretended to be reserved for a while, saying that I was persuaded by him and promised to provide him with 2,000 catties of fresh vegetables every day. He smiled.
In fact, my island is more than enough for him to eat 4,000 pounds, but I can't let him eat enough, and I want to enter other large shopping malls. If there is no other shopping mall to compete with him, he will inevitably be monopolized and controlled by him for a long time, and presumably the small traders in the convenience market will not be able to fight him at all, and it will ultimately damage my interests.
At noon, Manager Liu insisted on leaving me to have a meal with him and have a few drinks to celebrate the happy cooperation. I refused on the grounds that I was going to practice driving in the afternoon, and he didn't drink while driving, and he had no way to keep him.
After an hour of practice in the afternoon, the coach blasted me back, saying that I was just a waste of time to practice in the venue and delayed the other students' learning in vain. I really don't know if he's praising me or hurting me. Seeing the jealous eyes of the other students, my heart was very beautiful.
After returning from practice, I went around the construction site, which was considered to be fulfilling the duty of guarding the construction site, and I planned to say hello to Master Gao and return to the rented compound. As soon as I entered the kitchen, I smelled a fragrance, which was very familiar, Master Gao was cooking fish.
I would bring a few fresh fish every day, and although the four of us had fish to eat, we still couldn't finish it, and the small Xiaoice box had long been unable to fit. Uncle Liu, the gatekeeper, kindly said, "Let me stop taking the fish, and I'll get it later, but I was opposed by Wang Changhai.
"You old man Liu, don't discourage Comrade Xiao Chen's enthusiasm, don't stifle his kindness. You can't eat fish at home at once, you stinky janitor can eat such good fish, don't shout. ”
They were bickering, and I understood what they meant, and the three old men had been thinking about my fish in their hearts, for fear that I would not give them away. In order to dispel their concerns, whether the fish can be eaten or not, I will deliver it every day.
This has led to Master Gao having a lot left here, and it's a pity to throw it away, but it can't be difficult for him. He prepared the leftover fish with condiments, steamed it in a pot, and sealed it in a canned bottle, so that it could be stored for a long time, and it would taste the same when he ate it.
This method was also used by my mother, and instead of fish, she kept tomatoes. When the tomatoes are pulling, she steam them and seal them in canned bottles, so that they can be taken out and eaten at any time in winter. Actually, this is how canned food is made.
There are a lot of resources in my space, and there are many varieties of fish, and I can't only sell grass carp, carp, and mandarin fish for a long time, and I want to fully exploit them. Master Gao gave me a good inspiration.
There is a Minli canning factory in Loess County, and the canned varieties are mainly fruits. Loess County is rich in apples, pears, peaches, and hawthorns, which is a local business card, especially apples are sold at home and abroad, and they are basically not worried. Those pears, peaches and hawthorns don't sell as well as apples. In order to carry out deep processing, someone built this Minli canning factory more than 20 years ago to make canned pears and peaches and hawthorns that could not be sold.
This can extend the shelf life of the fruit and at the same time increase the added value, and the benefits of the canning factory are still considerable. The factory is a collective enterprise and has always been a major profit and tax owner in Loess County.
With the development of the transportation network, the circulation efficiency of fresh fruits has improved, and the product of canned fruit has gradually been eliminated from the market. The efficiency of Minli Cannery is not as good as a year, and I heard that it is barely maintained now, and many young people have resigned and changed careers.
Master Gao gave me the inspiration that I was going to cooperate with a canning factory to produce canned fish, because I found that the canned fish in the supermarket was selling well.
I took an opportunity to tell Bai Luoxue about the idea after I finished wholesaling the goods in the morning.
Bai Luoxue first affirmed my idea, and at the same time questioned my source of goods.
"In that fish pond in your hometown, can you guarantee that there will be enough fish to supply these vendors, and you can also open a fish cannery?"
"The supply is not a problem, the stones of other mountains can be used to attack jade. As long as the canned food is ready, the customer who cares where the fish comes from, this is like an egg, as long as the egg is delicious, no one will ask which chicken ordered it. ”
My paradoxical metaphor amused the snow.
"Okay! You have great powers, as long as there is enough supply, this canned fish can be a try. ”
With her affirmation, I took the matter to heart and took the time to go to the canneries to ask their director for cooperation.
When I saw Director Mu with a sad face, I just opened my mouth to cooperate, but I was immediately resolutely denied.
"There are so many canned fish in the market, the competition is quite fierce, we are not famous in this small place, you know how difficult it is to create a brand. We canned loess brand canned food can't be eaten anymore, you just stuff it with meat, and there is no customer recognition, let alone the fishy fish? Stop dreaming. The cannery is about to go bankrupt, if you have the heart to manage it, you can take over when it goes bankrupt, and I will give it up. ”
In this way, the first time we met, I was kicked out by Director Mu.
