I saw everything

Chapter 47 Demand exceeds supply
With the three kinds of strawberries officially available in online stores.

In addition, customers who had made advance reservations received their strawberries one after another. The three types of strawberries produced by Hailufeng Company received rave reviews.

At this time, more than a week had passed since the product was officially put on the shelves, and Zhang Xinyi was leading people to check the backend data of the online store.

"Manager, should we delete these comments saying our prices are too high?" the backend administrator asked in a low voice.

Zhang Xinyi shook her head: "No, we are a high-end brand, so isn't it normal for our prices to be high? As long as the customer doesn't make malicious comments, there's no need to delete them."

After more than a week of sales.

The online store has sold around 1300 one-kilogram strawberry gift boxes, with an average price of around 65 yuan per kilogram, and achieved a total turnover of 8 yuan.

"Manager, our canned eel sales have increased significantly over the past week."

Zhang Xinyi looked at the inventory data in the background.

At present, Hailufeng Company's cannery can produce 7 cans of tinplate eel cans and 1.5 bags of yaki eel soft cans every month.

Among them, the soft-canned yakiniku eel has basically been purchased by Japanese restaurants and eel rice restaurants everywhere.

Soft canned yakiniku has become the cannery's main product. The reason why they continue to produce tinplate cans is mainly to consume the scraps generated during the production process of soft cans.

Because the yakiniku eel canned food is made from a whole eel, the standard for one bag is 1.2 kilograms of fish meat, and the unit price is 120 yuan.

However, the weight of a female eel is usually around 1.5 to 1.8 kilograms. After removing the head, tail and internal organs, it still weighs about 1.2 to 1.5 kilograms.

As a result, some eels are overweight and a part of them must be cut off to control the weight to around 1.23 kg.

The cut fish meat, of course, cannot be wasted, and the eels that weigh less than 1.2 kilograms are used to produce tinplate cans.

Fortunately, Jiang Miao did not intend to ruin his reputation. Although he used leftovers, the fish meat was all good. He asked Li Xinhua to increase the eel meat content in each tin can to 110 grams and maintain the original price.

Even so, the cannery still has more than 6 cans of tinplate canned eels in stock over the past few months.

However, the demand for canned yakiniku eel is in short supply.

There is no way around it. The soft canned yaki eels are purchased by Japanese food stores and eel rice restaurants, while the tinplate canned eels are mainly sold to individual customers and some supermarkets. The customer groups of the two are quite different.

Zhang Xinyi looked at the sales status of various products in the background.

It was discovered that throughout March, 1.5 bags of yakiniku canned food were often out of stock for several days, apparently some big customers were rushing to buy them.

The profit of canned yakiniku eel is also good.

A total of 1.5 bags were sold for 169.5 million yuan, with an average price of about 113 yuan per bag. The average price did not reach 120 yuan, mainly because some of the goods were lost during logistics and transportation, and there were also discounts for major customers.

In March, the online store sold only 7253 tinplate cans, generating a total sales of 10.1 yuan.

Fortunately, there are supermarkets and directly-operated stores selling them, otherwise the tinplate cans might continue to accumulate in stock.

After looking at the sales of strawberries and canned eels, Zhang Xinyi also looked at the sales of eel fry and sea snow feed.

A total of 716 million eel fry were sold through the online store, with sales of 1575 million yuan; more than 25 tons of Haixue feed were sold, with sales of 37 yuan.

Zhang Xinyi did some statistics and found that the total sales of the online store in March had reached 1760 million yuan.

After reconfirming the data, she recorded it in the document on the tablet and asked the backend administrator to check it. After confirming that it was correct, Zhang Xinyi printed the document.

...

At the end of every month, Jiang Miao works in the chairman's office at the headquarters.

My brother-in-law knocked on the door and came in with a work report.

"Brother-in-law, sit down."

"A Miao, this is the situation of the newly expanded 200 mu open-air fish ponds. We have already put some of the leaf eels we cultivated into these open-air fish ponds."

"Oh? They've all been released?" My brother-in-law nodded. "They've all been released. Actually, there are only 400,000 leaf eels in the two hundred mu fish pond. We raise nearly 30 million leaf eels every month. Just a little bit of them can meet our needs. As long as the cycle is completed, we won't need to purchase mature eels from outside in the future."

"Thank you for your hard work, brother-in-law, have some tea." Jiang Miao poured a cup of Phoenix Dancong for his brother-in-law.

My brother-in-law took a sip of tea and then talked about the expansion of production: "By the way, A Miao, all indoor breeding ponds are now in use. It is expected that the production capacity of eel fry can be doubled every month. This scale will be reached next month. The market price is still falling. Should we reduce the shipment volume?"

Jiang Miao poured tea for his brother-in-law, and then he raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Xihai Company's bomb is about to explode. What do you think the market will react to?"

“Are you saying that eel farmers in Ryukyu, South Korea, and Southeast Asia will be forced to buy fry from us and the Kagoshima Eel Company?”

Jiang Miao raised his index finger and shook it: "The production capacity of Kagoshima Eel Company cannot even meet the needs of the Japanese market, so the international market can only ask us for help."

"That's great. It looks like the price of eel fry will rebound in April." My brother-in-law rubbed his hands involuntarily.

Knock knock…

"Come in."

Li Zhou walked in.

Seeing Li Zhou coming in, the brother-in-law also stood up and picked up his briefcase: "You guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go back to the farm to take a look."

"Brother-in-law, walk slowly."

"No need to send me off, you go ahead and do your work first."

After my brother-in-law left.

Jiang Miao poured a cup of tea for Li Zhou: "Have some tea."

Li Zhou was a little worried: "Boss, although all the eel fry were sold in March, the pre-orders for April are nearly three million less than in March."

"It's okay, I'll take care of it."

"Uh..." Li Zhou suddenly seemed to be hesitant to speak, but when he saw his boss who was confident, he wondered if he was worrying too much.

Just when Li Zhou didn't know how to start.

Jiang Miao has already opened the folder.

“Sales are OK this month.”

The sales department's performance in March was indeed good, with a total of 2324 million glass eels sold, plus the accompanying sea snow feed, for sales of 5273 million yuan.

"Well, it's all thanks to the boss's wise guidance." Li Zhou quickly replied with a dry laugh.

"Okay, stop flattering me. The company will not forget your contributions. It happens to be Qingming Festival, so let's do this! Your sales department will have a week off and take a break."

"This? Isn't it a bit bad?" Li Zhou hesitated.

Jiang Miao shook his head: "I don't have any other intentions, I just want you to rest for a while, after all, you need to combine work and rest!"

"Okay then! On behalf of all the sales staff, I would like to thank the boss for his understanding."

Jiang Miao then instructed meaningfully: "By the way, if a customer calls to order eel fry during the holiday, you should tell everyone to speak in unison and say that the company is cleaning the fish pond recently and it will take some time before the supply can be restored."

"Clean the fish pond?" Li Zhou nodded. Although he was full of doubts, he did not intend to get to the bottom of the matter. He took a sip of tea and said goodbye and left.

A moment later, Zhang Xinyi also came in.

She reported on the sales of the online store department.

After reading the report, Jiang Miao also instructed Zhang Xinyi to tell the sales staff in the online store department that if there are customers who want to buy eel fry during the Qingming Festival, they should suspend the sale of eel fry under the pretext that the farm is cleaning the fish pond.

Zhang Xinyi also had a lot of questions, but she didn't dare to ask the reason.
