i have a super island

Chapter 1367 Explosive Product
There is something on one end of the stick.

Hearing what the people in the front row said, those people in the back also rushed to grab the wooden sticks to check.

Sure enough, there was a mass of red stuff on one end of the stick, which was hard to the touch, and I didn't know what it was.

"what is this?"

All kinds of questions quickly appeared in the crowd, and everyone was guessing what this red thing was.

Equation did not try to make a fuss, but directly shouted to the people below with a loudspeaker: "I believe you have all seen it, this is not an ordinary wooden stick, it has this red thing on one end, this red thing It is called phosphorus, and as long as the temperature reaches a certain condition, it can burn.”

"That is to say, the reason why the wooden stick burned just now was due to the action of phosphorus."

"That's right, it's phosphorus!"

The equation continues to be explained to the crowd.

"When I struck a match just now, there was friction, and friction can increase the temperature of the object. Once it reaches the ignition point of phosphorus, the phosphorus will catch fire, and then ignite the stick."

"Isn't this kind of thing dangerous?"

People are expressing concern that this thing called phosphorus is so flammable.

"The phosphorus used to make matches is red phosphorus. Red phosphorus is not so easy to burn. To ignite a match, a special wiper is needed. It is definitely not easy to ignite." Fang Fang showed the matchbox to the crowd The rubbing strip on the side, "Now you know, this thing called a match is science and not magic. With matches, it will be very convenient for everyone to start a fire. You don't have to worry about not being able to light the fire or flint immediately. on fire."

The residents of Waterles have never seen a match before. They were all impressed by the magical function of the match when they saw the equation displaying the match for the first time. They all thought in their hearts that if they could own a box of matches, what would they do in the future? Isn't it more convenient to make a fire?

"I know what you are all thinking. It would be great if I could own a box of such a good thing." Fang Fang seemed to see through the psychology of every public. He knew what everyone was thinking at the moment, so he took the opportunity to say : "I'm going to tell each of you right now that the Waterles Match Factory was built to make matches available to all the people of Waterles."

Hearing the promise of the equation, the people below suddenly became excited. Even the equation said so, it seems that everyone is not far from the days of using matches.

Someone tremblingly asked Equation, "Your Majesty, this kind of match should be very expensive. How can ordinary people use it?"

Fang Fang said generously: "Everyone in the world can rest assured. I am here today in front of everyone to guarantee that the price of matches will be affordable for everyone."

"Really, that's great!"

"Long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"

Those expecting people heard that Fang Fang said that everyone should be able to use matches, and they were all grateful to Dade for a while.

After the meeting about matches dissipated, the match factory also started production under intensive arrangements.

Like all factories, the match factory also has workers and a director. Since it is owned by Wanguo, the director of the match factory is directly named by Li Qingman. As for the management of the factory and the normal production and operation, it is Li Qingman's choice A special person will be responsible.

The sales strategy of the match factory is very simple. It does not sell to individuals, but only sells wholesale to merchants in Waterles City.

Because matches are products with small profits but high turnover, the match factory does not have the energy to sell the products box by box to individuals, so it adopts the wholesale model, and those grocery vendors in the city come to the match factory to buy goods. Buy matches in boxes and boxes, and then take them to the store for sale.

Another advantage of this model is that the sales of matches will soon be popularized throughout Waterles, and there will be more sales of matches in the grocery stores on every street.

As for the pricing of matches, Li Qingman had already made arrangements for this before the official operation of the match factory, and issued the "Guidance Price for Match Sales" regulations.

In essence, the price of matches, like food, oil, and salt, is a commodity for people's livelihood, and profiteers who take this opportunity to speculate must not be tolerated.

The wholesale price of matches from the match factory is one copper coin and two boxes. According to the actual situation of each seller, the allowed selling price is between one and three times. It is reasonable within this price range. Once someone sells more than this The price may be punished at any time.

Since the match factory was put into operation, there has been a long queue at the gate of the match factory from sunrise to sunset.

There are a total of 13 people in Waterles, and if it is calculated as a family unit, it is about 21 families. Each family uses five to seven matches every day. Six thousand families is about [-] matches.

There are about 45 to 50 matches in a box, and 47 matches are calculated as a compromise.

That is to say, in theory, the number of matches Watles needs to consume every day is 4600 boxes.

Of course, this is only theoretical, because in reality, not all the people of Waterles will start using matches immediately, and some people will continue to use fire pockets and flint and steel.

However, simply calculating the market is enough to make people happy. This is only the amount needed by one Waterles, and does not include the demand of other islands in Wanguo. If the total demand of all islands is added up , this market will only get bigger.

From this point of view, as long as the phosphate rock island can continue to supply phosphate rock to Waterles, the match factory can continue to operate.

The boom in sales of matches is within the expectation of the equation, and it has exceeded the scale imagined by the equation. This newly launched daily necessities continues to occupy every family of Waterless.

As the manager of the match factory, Li Qingman is also very busy these days. Every day, the orders come in like snowflakes. She spends most of her time every day on how to expand the size of the match factory.

Needless to say, the first thing is to expand the number of workers. The original size of the match factory only had [-] workers. In order to meet those orders, the number of workers was directly expanded to [-].

According to the requirements of modern production, these workers are divided into team leaders, ordinary workers, quality inspectors, warehouse managers, and logistics.

In addition, next to the match factory, a newly built warehouse is also under intense construction.

In order to meet the huge market demand, the match factory can only produce overtime every day, and those extra matches are stored in the warehouse.

The popularity of matches has brought about a large amount of fiscal revenue, sufficient jobs, and a convenient life for the people, all of which are proceeding according to the plan of the equation.
