Chapter 56 New Product Launch Ignites the Market
Shen Dong had drunk quite a bit of alcohol and was brought back by a truck from the county agricultural machinery station.
When Shen Weimin noticed that Shen Dong hadn't returned while he was eating, he went to Tang Yue to ask what was going on. He learned that Shen Dong hadn't been at the factory since this morning, and he became a little worried.
Shen Min had already finished washing up, but Shen Dong still hadn't returned, so he started to get a little anxious.
But it was dark, and he didn't know where to go, so he could only sit in the main room and wait.
Fortunately, not long after, he heard the sound of a truck starting up. He hurriedly went out and saw Shen Dong being helped out of the truck by someone who looked like an official.
"Dongzi, wake up!" Shen Weimin stepped forward, took the child, and patted Shen Dong's drunken face.
"Comrade, who are you?"
"Oh, hello leader, I'm Shen Dong's uncle. Why is this kid drinking so much?" Shen Weimin asked with a worried expression.
"Haha, don't worry, he'll be fine after a good night's sleep. Xiao Shen had dinner with our county's agricultural machinery station today, and he was in a good mood and drank a little too much. I have to rush back now, so I'll be going now."
"Oh, take care, boss."
Huang Maoqiang waved and left in his car.
Shen Weimin and Shen Weiguo have different personalities. He is more calm and meticulous in his work. After settling Shen Dong in, he even poured him a glass of water before leaving.
Shen Dong woke up early the next morning. He had drunk a lot the night before and his head was still a little sore. He only remembered that he had come back in a truck, but he had no recollection of when or who had put the water cup there.
"Dongwa, are you home?"
Just as I finished getting dressed, I heard Li Shangen's voice coming from outside the courtyard.
"Grandpa, I'm here."
"What's up?" Li Shangen and Liu Cuihua walked in together.
"I heard from Weimin this morning that you were drinking last night, so I guessed you hadn't left. How did it go? Did you settle things?" Li Shangen asked nervously as soon as he came in.
"Huh? What did we talk about?" Shen Dong looked blank. He had no recollection of what he had missed.
"The gift box, didn't you go to the commune and county yesterday to discuss it? Didn't you reach an agreement?"
Aunt Cuihua was extremely anxious. She had finally managed to be effective as the women's director, and yesterday she had mobilized all the women in the team. Now, Shen Dong knew nothing about it. This was unacceptable.
Shen Dong then remembered what it was and slapped his forehead in regret.
Alcohol is harmful; it makes your thinking sluggish.
"Hey, this? It's all settled! 1500 cardboard boxes! Is that alright, Aunt Cuihua?"
"Hehe, great, absolutely great!" Liu Cuihua beamed with joy and hurriedly went out to tell everyone the good news.
Even if the labor cost is only two cents per box, 1500 cardboard boxes would still amount to 30 yuan.
The production team currently has only 26 households. Each household has one woman, which means there are more than a dozen households. Each household can earn two yuan, and they only need to work for three or four days.
"Dongwa, on behalf of everyone in the team, I thank you. From the greenhouse to pig farming, and now you're assigning tasks to everyone. Everyone in the team remembers your kindness."
Li Shangen has been the team leader for many years, and he knows the team's situation very well, understanding the significance of every penny to everyone.
Shen Dong smiled and said, "No need to thank me. I've only just started and haven't helped everyone much yet. I'll help the team more in the future, and everyone's lives will get better and better."
"Yes, it definitely will."
Li Shangen knew that Shen Dong hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so he invited him to his home to eat. Shen Dong used to eat at their house often when he was a child, but he rarely did so after he grew up.
Unable to refuse, he finished his breakfast under Li Shangen's watchful gaze.
He then hurriedly arrived at the factory.
Just as he reached the door, Old Huang called out to him, "Factory Manager, hurry up, that kid Li Hu has been looking for you, he seems really anxious."
"Looking for me? Okay, I'll go check it out."
Shen Dong arrived at the warehouse and found Li Hu taking inventory. "What do you need me for?"
"Factory manager, you're finally here! The new flavor of yogurt that Brother Li and his team came up with went viral as soon as it hit the market yesterday. This morning, people from the supply and marketing cooperative were blocking my way, saying they need to produce more right away. I'm so anxious!"
"Really? How many were made in the first batch yesterday?"
"300 jars of brown sugar and 100 jars of jujube paste, especially the brown sugar, were gone in no time. Our commune got 150 jars, and the other supply and marketing cooperatives only had 150 jars in total, which was not even enough to fill a tooth gap."
Shen Dong frowned, thought about the current productivity, and shook his head helplessly.
"Tiger, make it clear to them that 3000 cans is our current limit. People need to rest too; it's impossible to work 24 hours a day. Ask them to give you a rough ratio, such as how many cans of original flavor and how many cans of other flavors."
Seeing that Hu Zi was about to leave, he quickly stopped him: "You haven't finished yet. Tell them that there's definitely no time to adjust the ratio today. The yogurt produced tomorrow will be made according to their ratio. You need to make it clear in advance that there are risks in launching new products. Don't pursue new flavors too much, or you might not be able to sell them later."
"Okay, I got it!" Li Hu said, and started to run outside.
Shen Dong hurriedly said from behind, "I have other things to do! Come back!"
"Wait until I get back~~~" Li Hu had already run far away, and only his voice could be heard from afar.
"Well, this guy really has a lot of energy these days."
Shen Dong wanted to know how well the milk skin sold yesterday, but since Li Hu had left, he could only ask Qiu Xiaoqin.
Qiu Xiaoqin and her two aunts were cooking the second batch in the back kitchen. Because the large kitchen pot for making milk skin was not yet completed, they could only use short periods of time in the morning and afternoon to make milk skin these days, so time was tight.
"Comrade Xiaoqin, you're busy."
Qiu Xiaoqin continued stirring without stopping, and asked, "What's wrong, Factory Manager?"
"Are you aware of yesterday's milk skin sales?"
"I asked Li, the purchasing agent, this morning, and she said that only half of them have been sold. Because the price is slightly higher and not as cheap as yogurt, the sales will be slower. However, we can sell 40 jin a day at the moment."
"Okay, so, how's Xiaojun been these days? It's been a while since I've come over."
Shen Dong asked awkwardly, and felt a little embarrassed when he saw the two aunts laughing beside him.
Qiu Xiaoqin didn't expect Shen Dong to ask this question in front of others, and her face immediately turned red.
"It's...it's alright. It seems like he's been working on something these days. He said he could earn ten or eight yuan before the New Year, but I didn't ask him."
"Okay, if anything comes up at home, just let me know. I'll be going now."
Shen Dong hadn't gone far when he heard the two women whispering to Qiu Xiaoqin, so he quickened his pace.
When they arrived at the workshop, he called Li Chenfeng out.
He doesn't know the cost of the two new yogurt flavors yet; he needs to find out.
"Chenfeng, what are the costs of brown sugar yogurt and jujube paste, and what price do we pay the supply and marketing cooperative? Tell me."
"Okay, factory manager, let's go to your office. I'll write it down for you on a piece of paper."
"Okay, let's go!"
