Chapter 253 Successful Development and Distribution of Canned Pineapple in Provincial Capital

During this time, Li Dahui stayed by their side, encouraging them and offering them advice from time to time.

But he didn't get involved in anything else; he still remembered Lin Yu's task of helping him train them.

As facts have proven, practice yields truth.

After this training, they all seem to have been reborn.

Compared to before, I am more confident and my speaking skills have improved.

Lin Yu encouraged and praised them, and promised to give them a business trip bonus, so he let them go home and rest for a day.

Li Dahui and Ou Manqing were left to report on the financial situation to Lin Yu.

Pineapples are not expensive; in fact, they are quite cheap.

However, this purchase was quite large, and there were also travel and labor costs involved.

The cost has also been reduced considerably.

Fortunately, the food factory's finances are very healthy, and it has enough money in its accounts.

Lin Yu wasn't too worried.

She also told Ou Manqing about her plans to open a specialty store.

Ou Manqing was a little surprised: "I didn't hear you say that before you left."

Lin Yu said with a smile, "I came up with it on the spot."

Ou Manqing was impressed; she had managed to put her impromptu idea into action so quickly.

So many people cooperated.

It has to be said that Lin Yu's influence is extraordinary.

Li Dahui was also very interested in this specialty store and asked a lot of questions about opening it.

Lin Yu knew he was a business tycoon, so she said, "If you're interested, you can work at the store next time."

Li Dahui thought it was a good idea and nodded in agreement.

"Alright, you should all go back and rest. Yuanyuan is still waiting for you."

Before they came to the factory, they had temporarily left Yuanyuan with Aunt Lin. Now it's time for them to go back and take care of the baby and rest for a day.

The women in the research and development team are truly skilled cooks; they produced the canned goods in just a few days.

"The process of making pineapple preserves involves an extra step: soaking it in salt water to remove the astringency, and then simmering it for a while as before, except the sugar ratio is different."

Lin Yu listened while tasting the food.

The canned pineapple retains its natural fragrance, but the astringent taste is much less.

It also has a softer texture and less fibrous feel.

The people who tried the food all gave it a thumbs up.

"So this is what pineapple tastes like! I've never had it before," Lin Yuan exclaimed.

Zhou Huanan has eaten quite a lot: "I still prefer fresh ones."

His tastes lean towards the south; he likes fresh fruit and dislikes pickled products.

However, he also understood: "This thing should sell well in the North City as well."

There are relatively few varieties of fruit there, and you can't buy any even if you want to eat some fruit occasionally.

Therefore, their canned goods sell very well in the northern part of the city.

If you can't get fresh fruit, canned fruit is still a novel experience.

After discussing it, the group decided to get canned pineapple.

Lin Yu was a man of action: "We'll start production tomorrow."

She plans to sell the first batch of canned pineapple to her own specialty store.

The canned food production was not slow; about a week later, the food factory had produced the quantity Lin Yu had requested.

Lin Yu asked Li Dahui to come with her in the car to the provincial capital to distribute goods.

On the way, Li Dahui was in high spirits, showing great interest in the franchise store.

Lin Yu told him some things and then asked him if he had any suggestions.

Li Dahui stroked his chin and thought for a moment: "I think that since our store is the first to sell the new canned goods, we can use it as a gimmick."

Lin Yu agreed in his heart; his idea coincided with her own.

Li Dahui added, "We can make this a tradition, and in the future, all our new products will be first put on the shelves in our specialty stores."

Lin Yu was pleasantly surprised; he was quite good at creating hype for himself.

If we do that, the advantage of exclusive stores will be even greater.

"Okay, anything else?"

Li Dahui brought up their previous promotional activities: "Should we offer some kind of discount on canned pineapple?"

Offering discounts on new products is a common marketing tactic in later generations.

Lin Yu agreed: "Let's do the second one at half price."

Li Dahui's eyes lit up: "You can do that too!"

He had just been thinking of doing something like Lin Yu did before, like giving away freebies with a certain amount spent.

Lin Yu shook her head and said, "Our goal this time is to promote canned pineapple, so we're only doing this promotion for this one product."

Li Dahui nodded: "You're right."

The more he thought about it, the better he felt it was a good idea, and he even wrote it down in his notebook.

This is what Ou Manqing taught him: a bad pen is worse than a good memory.

If I encounter something that inspires me while I'm out, I'll jot it down in my notebook.

It might come in handy in the future.

Lin Yu knew that the opportunity Ou Manqing was referring to was probably the opportunity to do business after the market opened up.

All Li Dahui was thinking about was doing a good job as a salesperson.

Since becoming a salesman, Li Dahui has felt that this is the job that suits him best.

He felt a great sense of accomplishment as he sold the goods through his own efforts and watched the sales figures steadily increase.

However, the sales methods of specialty stores are different.

Li Dahui felt he had learned something new and was very happy.

The last time Lin Yu went back from the provincial capital, she had to transfer to a bus and squeeze into a seat with other people, but this time she didn't have to.

They were driving a car from their own factory. Lin Yu sat in the passenger seat, which was spacious enough to even sleep in.

Li Dahui is now a very skilled driver and knows the provincial capital like the back of his hand.

Lin Yu slept soundly the whole way, feeling especially at ease.

When she opened her eyes, the car had already entered the streets of the provincial capital.

Following Lin Yu's instructions, Li Dahui drove the car to the road in front of the specialty store.
