Chapter 86: Increasing production lines
Common carp, grass carp, mandarin fish and yellow eel are my main products right now. Even though the fish are fished by robots, they have to throw those trash fish back into the water every day, which is useless and in a way wasteful, at least wearing out my robots.
This reminds me of the variety of canned fish on the market, not only yellow eel, but other fish as well. With this idea in mind, I decided to give it a try.
Leaving the space, I found Bai Luoxue and told her in detail about my vision. The variety of canned fish is changed regularly to ensure that there is an adequate supply. The variety is too single is not conducive to the continued expansion of the market, even if my canned fish taste is unique, people love to eat, and the sales are currently good, but after all, everyone's taste is different, delicious and unpalatable aside, some people love to eat another kind of fish, and customers have a wider choice of varieties.
My reason convinced Bai Luoxue.
"You can give it a try. We need to be well prepared. One is the label, which must be made of multiple varieties. It's not that difficult, just notify the supplier and they can change it at any time. Second, each variety must be tested and marketed. The purpose of test marketing is not simply to test the market, but to win orders. The previously signed contract was canned eel and nothing else. Another point we have to consider is, will the previous order be able to guarantee supply? Therefore, in the trial production stage, canned trash fish should not be excessive. ”
The opinion is very pertinent, and I gladly accept it. Let her calculate how much canned trash fish should be produced so as not to affect the supply of canned eel.
After the data came out, I had a bottom in my heart and immediately held a meeting to study the issue of property change.
The main purpose of the meeting was to announce my decision. Let the workers know that the canning factory has added new varieties. There is no need to change the automated production line at all, just adjust the size of the inlet and the fish will pass through smoothly. Then adjust the width of the cutting edge of the cutting section, and the desired size is available. The rest of the process is still the same.
I first tried to produce herring, this kind of fish is more in the space, there is a rich supply.
The product came out quickly. According to the previous routine, all employees participated and actively promoted to the society, which was quickly recognized by customers. There is no problem with the market in Loess County, and the owners of various shopping malls and supermarkets have said that this kind of canned fish is fully accepted.
The people at the sales office are busy again. In order to show the sincerity of the supply, I asked the sales director to send them out. Each person brings a few boxes of canned herring and goes to their customers to taste it in person, and after getting the affirmation, they will discuss the order.
With the experience of canned yellow eel, these salesmen have taken a lot of detours, and the orders have been sent back. I placed a restriction that the order should not be too large depending on the customer's ability to sell. Mainly considering the production capacity of the cannery, I have to guarantee the supply of canned yellow eel before these trash fish have fully captured the market.
To produce canned trash fish, I want to change the variety every three days, and I want to get the approval of other canned fish from customers. If the sales situation is promising, I even have plans to add another production line, but I am not in a hurry.
The effect is ideal. These canned trash fish are comparable to yellow eels and are very popular in the market. According to the information fed back from the salesman's survey, some varieties even exceed the sales of canned yellow eel.
Because of the abundant variety, people's choices are more, and a large number of customers have been re-attracted, and even people who used to love canned yellow eels have begun to like to eat these canned miscellaneous fish, and their tastes have something in common, no matter which variety, the more they eat, the more addictive they are, and they can't stop. It's like eating my vegetables, they don't taste good without them.
The development of many varieties has expanded the market, but at the same time it has also brought pressure to production, and the inventory is tight, and the warehouse can only store the goods produced on the same day. Mu Zhiming and the head of the sales department have proposed that it is necessary to add another production line to expand production.
Bai Luoxue also agreed.
Well, in order to meet the needs of customers, in order to make the canning factory more efficient, I agreed.
Liu Ruchun was instructed to contact the design unit and set up the additional plant next to the original production workshop. With regard to automated production lines, this was not a problem with my previous experience, and I also handed it over to Dongfang Production Automation.
First of all, Fang Gong came, we exchanged opinions, and he went back to organize people to start preparations.
There are funds, projects, and technology, and as soon as the design drawings came out, the construction began in full swing, and it took less than a month for this new production line to be completed.
Deputy County Magistrate Huang came again.
From the moment the project was confirmed, I reported to him. He expressed his strong support.
Whether it is the groundbreaking ceremony of the project, during the construction of the project, or even the commissioning of production, he will be there in person every time, in addition to showing the importance of the development of the cannery, he will also use it to help spread the word.
Wherever he went, the news media followed, and on TV and the Internet, of course, promoted my cannery. In fact, I also understand that while publicizing my achievements, I am also highlighting his political achievements.
Now the canning factory has become a big taxpayer in Loess County, not only the county attaches great importance to it, but the province is also very concerned, and the provincial leaders have come twice. My fame and status rose with it.
These are superficial phenomena, but they don't know my real pain and fatigue. The production of canned food has doubled, and my workload has increased a lot, at least I have to double the fish I have to ship, and the wind and snow are busier on the island.
During the design and construction of the new line, I actually did a lot of other work that no one knew about.
The square meter of leeks I once planted could be cut in three days.
When I put the leeks on the table and took the initiative to invite Bai Luoxue to make dumplings, she said why is there no mutton?
Without saying a word, I ran downstairs to the nearest supermarket and bought a pound of mutton.
She reconciled the noodles, cut the vegetables, and waited for the mutton filling, so I hurriedly grinded the filling.
Asked me as he wrapped her up.
"Do you want to eat leek-stuffed dumplings, or do you think I love the leeks you bought?"
"It's a bit of both."
"Hahahaha! I think you're addicted! Didn't eat enough last time. ”
I have no excuse.
"It doesn't matter if I'm addicted or not, I'm sure you'll be addicted."
Laughter rang out again.
The taste of dumplings today is indeed better than the last time, until before leaving work in the afternoon, Bai Luoxue told me that it still has an endless aftertaste, and she even has an idea to eat leek and mutton dumplings for a while.
I told her that eating too much would cause her to get hot, and she held back. But she still couldn't hold back after all, and even told me that she would eat it once a week, and then she changed her mouth and ate it twice a week.
"Why don't we eat it at night? Let's get over it first. ”
But she promised her parents that she would go back to eat in the evening, and she would be exempt today.
