Rebirth in 1984: Cornered by Second Sister in Bathroom

Back in 1984, he woke up with four stunning sisters, but also unpleasant people whom they were with, which lead to downfall in the tides of the times. Determined to make up for his past mistakes, J...

Chapter 86 Propaganda Canned Goods

Jiang Sheng was naturally overjoyed that both of his older sisters approved of his canned food.

Meanwhile, several workers conducting experiments nearby also produced several canned fruits.

Jiang Sheng took out two cans of apples, giving one to his eldest sister and the other to his second sister.

"These canned fruits are delicious, especially sweet. Second sister, you should take these two home and eat them. Anyway, the taste will definitely be just as good!"

With the comparison to canned chicken, you can tell without even tasting it that canned fruit is definitely delicious.

Seeing that the twenty workers in front of him, who had just gotten started, were already beginning to move in a more standardized manner, Jiang Sheng felt relieved.

In this era, "worker" was not a derogatory term; specialized skilled workers were extremely rare, almost like pandas.

That's good, though, because the workers in their factory don't need much technical skill; they just need to be familiar with the assembly line process.

Therefore, once this batch of trainees has matured, he will try to expand the factory's scale and buy a few more production lines.

That means it can naturally grow bigger and bigger.

There's also the issue of the cans themselves. Although Zhou Yongming helped him find a partner and they temporarily agreed to produce 50,000 cans.

But after these 50,000 cans, he needs to find ways to build good relationships with his partners and secure a long-term partnership.

Of course, after finishing his work at the factory, Jiang Sheng didn't stay there.

After all, the regular customers of the wholesale market didn't even know that the canned food processing plant had opened today.

They had to get there early to seize this excellent opportunity to convert their existing regular customers into loyal customers of the cannery.

Upon learning of Jiang Sheng's idea, Zhao Defu readily agreed without hesitation.

"No problem!"

He had seen how busy Jiang Sheng had been these past few days.

He handled everything from the production line to the canning machine, as well as finding various fruit and poultry suppliers.

Aside from the various production licenses and health permits, which were all obtained with Zhou Yongming's assistance, Zhao Defu was well aware of the hardships involved in the process.

It was clear that Jiang Sheng had a lot to do, so Zhao Nianmeng smiled and spoke up when he took the initiative to speak.

"Xiaosheng, you go ahead and do your thing. Your second sister and I will go home first. Don't forget we have a family gathering tonight."

"Don't worry, big sister, I remember this."

Today is Saturday. Every Saturday night, the three siblings have dinner together.

Therefore, he naturally wouldn't forget this matter.

After saying goodbye to his eldest and second eldest sisters, Jiang Sheng glanced at Zhao Defu, and the two of them each rode a bicycle, taking advantage of the early hour, and quickly arrived at the wholesale market.

The spot where they originally set up their stall was empty, but now the open space is full of people waiting.

Jiang Sheng could tell at a glance that these people were all waiting for their canned food stall to open.

"I really didn't expect this..."

Zhao Defu shook his head, his face full of emotion: "I never expected to have so many loyal customers. From now on, once our canned goods are produced, we won't have to worry about customers!"

"Enough talk," Jiang Sheng patted Zhao Defu on the shoulder, "Let's hurry over there!"

After Jiang Sheng finished speaking, Zhao Defu quickly nodded.

The two arrived at their stall one after the other, and the waiting crowd immediately spotted them.

"Hey bosses, why didn't you bring anything today? Aren't you planning to set up your stall?"

The customers were somewhat surprised and puzzled to see that both of them came out empty-handed.

"If you stop selling canned food in the future, where will we buy affordable canned food?"

Some people couldn't help but say regretfully, "Yes, canned food is too expensive on the market now. We ordinary people can only buy it once a month to satisfy our cravings. If you stop selling it, we won't be able to enjoy such good food as much in the future!"

Facing the expectant gazes of the crowd, Jiang Sheng smiled, cleared his throat, and spoke.

"Don't worry, everyone," Jiang Sheng said loudly. "The reason we didn't come today is because we have something very important to do."

"Our canning plant is now officially in operation. The brand name is Shengde, and we offer both fruit and meat cans."

"Each can contains half the amount of food compared to those on the market, and of course, the price is also very affordable, ensuring that everyone can afford it!"

When he got to this point, the crowd was initially skeptical, but when they heard that the price was very cheap, they couldn't help but be tempted.

How much is one can of your food?

"Exactly, it's not enough to just be cheap; if the content inside is too low, then it's not worth it."

"But if it tastes good, we'll buy it often in the future. Anyway, it's cheaper than other canned goods, so let's buy some and try it out!"

"..."

There were all sorts of opinions among the people present.

As for Jiang Sheng, he only spoke again after everyone's discussions had gradually subsided.

"Don't worry, everyone. The price will definitely satisfy you. Our portions are smaller than the canned goods you can buy on the market right now, but the price is absolutely affordable!"

In one sentence, he not only answered the questions of the onlookers, but also aroused their curiosity.

"So how much does it cost exactly?"

"Exactly! You just keep saying it's cheap, but you don't tell us the price so we have a better idea of ​​what it is. Otherwise, we might not be able to buy it."

“Don’t worry, everyone,” Jiang Sheng smiled, finally relieving everyone’s curiosity: “Ordinary canned fruit can cost as little as 69.9 cents, and as for canned meat, the cheapest canned chicken can cost 1.59 yuan, and the most expensive will of course not exceed 3 yuan.”

His words immediately sparked a strong response from everyone.

Goodness, the fact that it's being sold at such a low price is quite unexpected.

"So cheap! The canned apples at the supply and marketing cooperative are selling for a dollar a can now, and you're selling them for more than 60 cents a can. How can you make a profit?"

"We don't care about making money or not. The main thing is that with such a low price, we're not even sure if it will taste good!"

Seeing that everyone had raised new questions, Jiang Sheng was neither anxious nor angry, but simply smiled.

"After our canned fruit enters the market, we set up a stall to sell it right here at the entrance of the village, in the urban-rural fringe area."

"It's still the same model as before, but we've changed to selling them by the can instead of selling them individually!"
