My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 267 Flour
In the next week, the baguettes exploded, and almost four to five thousand loaves of bread were sold in the cafeteria every day.

Many employees directly replaced their staple food with bread, which greatly reduced the need for heating box lunches, and Li Yanyi no longer had to heat box lunches for others at night.

Working overtime at night, a baguette is enough.

In addition, many employees will buy a few baguettes to take home after get off work, especially those with children at home, who have to eat it every day.

Gradually, everyone in the Jinchangan Building knew that cheap and delicious bread could be bought in the cafeteria on the first floor, and there was an endless stream of people who came to inquire about it.

When there is demand, there is market.

Soon, daigou emerged, so that 5000 loaves of bread per day were not enough to sell, and they were often sold out in less than an hour.

The situation was quickly reported to Dad Xu, who immediately called Ye Hui and Master Ji, who is now the person in charge of the bakery.

"Tell me, what are you going to do next?"

Ye Hui frowned, her main energy was put on the business, and she really didn't want to spend too much time on these trivial matters.

"Mr. Xu, let's limit purchases, two per person per day, so that everyone has a share, and there won't be so many conflicts."

"Purchasing restrictions are too rigid, which is not conducive to the development of the bakery." Dad Xu shook his head.

"Then we can only expand the scale." Ye Hui said flatly.

Master Ji immediately objected: "Mr. Ye, I also want to expand the scale, but the supply of raw materials must not keep up. This cannot be done by adding a few electric ovens."

"What's going on?" Ye Hui asked.

"The main reason is the lack of flour. This is making bread. Without flour, it will definitely not work."

"Can't you raise the purchase price of flour a little?"

Master Ji shook his head: "There is very little flour in the market. Many people are saving flour and plan to save it for Chinese New Year to make dumplings. Everyone is more willing to exchange potatoes and sweet potatoes for bread coupons."

"Have you visited Panjiayuan?" Father Xu asked directly.

"Go, there is some flour over there, but the amount is not much, and the exchange rate is too bad, it's not worth it."

Dad Xu knocked on the table with his finger: "Okay, you two go back first, I'll figure out a way about the flour."

……

During lunch time, Xu Dong suddenly received a call from his father. He quickly put down his job and found an empty corner to answer the call.

"Dad, what do you want from me?"

Father Xu got straight to the point: "Didn't you say that there is a way to get flour last time?"

"That's right, are you short of flour here?"

Father Xu briefly introduced the matter.

Xu Dong thought for a while before speaking: "Well, I'll call you later and ask for it. The quantity you want is too much, and I don't dare to promise it."

"Okay, let me know if there is a result."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Dong immediately dialed Zhao Jian's cell phone. The other party works in Xialiang Group, hoping to find a way!
"Hey, Old Xu, finally remembered to call me, I thought you forgot me?" Zhao Jian teased with a smile.

"If you forget, no one can forget you. Isn't it busy with work recently? I've been fucking on for almost a month without taking a break."

"Same thing, tell me, what can a busy person ask me for?" Knowing that the other party would go to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing, Zhao Jian simply asked directly.

Xu Dong coughed: "Hey, I want to ask you something."

"Tell me something, I'm busy here!"

"Okay, can you get flour here? I can exchange it with other grains." After Xu Dong finished speaking, he immediately added: "It's best for long-term transactions. I need a relatively large amount here, at least a month. Four or five tons."

"Why do you need so much flour?" Zhao Jian asked curiously.

"Oh, my dad's company cafeteria recently set up a bakery, and now there is a shortage of flour."

Zhao Jian did not give an answer immediately, saying that he needed to inquire.

"Okay, wait for your call, hang up."

This wait lasted for two days, when Xu Dong almost forgot about it, Zhao Jian suddenly called back.

"Old Zhao, how is the investigation going?"

Zhao Jian's tone was slightly apologetic: "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."

"Stop talking nonsense, tell me the result quickly." Xu Dong urged.

"I asked several units for you about the flour, and finally got a little clue."

"Go on, I'm listening!"

"Well, it's the First Hospital of Yanda University. They have a batch of flour that they want to replace with other grains. There are about four tons per month, which should meet your requirements." Zhao Jian introduced.

"Yan University First Hospital? Why do they have so much flour?" Xu Dong wondered.

"Don't you know this? Doctors, teachers, and scientific researchers are all special occupations. They have extra benefits, and their rations are better than ordinary families."

"So that's how it is." Xu Dong suddenly realized.

"I have a phone number here. You can contact them directly. It's up to you whether you can talk about it."

"Thank you."

After getting the phone number, Xu Dong sent it to his father immediately, and the rest has nothing to do with him.

Dad Xu took it very seriously, and personally brought Master Ji and the person in charge of the purchasing department to the door, with full sincerity.

After some courtesies, the two sides began to get down to business.

"Director Shen, let's follow the official exchange ratio, what do you think?" Father Xu tentatively asked.

Director Shen immediately shook his head: "No, no, definitely not. If the official exchange ratio is followed, then I might as well go directly to the grain store to exchange!"

"What do you mean?"

"Xu Dong, I won't go around in circles with you anymore. Since you produce bread, why not exchange it with bread!"

"What kind of exchange method?"

Dad Xu was not surprised. During the conversation just now, Director Shen asked a lot about the bakery.

"Just according to the standard set by your company, one catty of flour is exchanged for four loaves of bread, neither of us will suffer, how about it?"

Director Shen made a good plan. They built their own bakery. Regardless of the initial investment, with this exchange ratio, there is not much profit, and they might even lose money.

Father Xu glanced at Master Ji.

Master Ji nodded quickly. A catty of flour can theoretically make ten loaves of bread, which in disguise is equivalent to exchanging miscellaneous grains for flour.

"Director Shen, we agreed." Father Xu said cheerfully.

"Okay, I knew Director Xu was a straightforward person. Don't worry, our cooperation this time is definitely a win-win situation." Director Shen was overjoyed.

"That's right, it's indeed a win-win situation." Dad Xu echoed.

Next, the two parties signed a cooperation agreement.

Coming out of the First Hospital of Yan University, Master Ji couldn't help but say, "Mr. Xu, with this batch of flour, we can double the bread production." "

"Yeah, finally solved a big problem."

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
