The day after the newspaper was published, the store saw its largest crowd ever.
Everyone came to the store after reading the newspaper and hearing about it from their neighbors and relatives.
Some people even took a special bus ride from the county town to come here.
That day, Lin Yu and the store's employees were so busy that they barely had time to catch their breath.
Fortunately, after several months of practice, everyone has made very few mistakes at work.
After a busy day, everyone was overjoyed to see the sales figures.
Their hard work has finally paid off.
Lin Yu encouraged them: "Once this busy period is over, you can take a vacation. We won't open the shop for the Mid-Autumn Festival; we'll go straight home to celebrate."
The children were still young and would miss home.
Xiao Fang jumped up with joy: "That's great, thank you, factory manager!"
Xiaoju smiled happily. Her sister was getting married after the Mid-Autumn Festival, so she would finally have time to go back and visit.
It was already 10 p.m. when I closed the shop and went back to the staff dormitory to rest.
But they were still very excited.
Lin Yu told them to go and rest quickly, otherwise how could they continue working the next day?
Lin Yuan has been busy since returning from the Education Bureau today.
He also said, "I don't think we need to go to other units anymore, our factory is about to be unable to keep up with production."
At today's shipping rate, the factory's stockpile has already been sold out.
Even with increased production, it would probably only be enough.
Lin Yu deeply agreed: "That's why I just told them that starting tomorrow, there will be a purchase limit. Each person can only buy one box of mooncakes. If they want more, they can only pre-order."
"Pre-sale?" Lin Yuan had never heard this term before, but he could understand it from the words.
"You mean you pay first, then deliver the goods?"
Lin Yu nodded: "Let's take stock of the quantities first and then consider our production capacity."
"Sure, that way we won't have to worry about running out of stock."
"Yes, I'm afraid our entire warehouse of goods will be sold out tomorrow."
The shelves will be empty then, what will we sell?
Purchase restrictions are designed to attract individual customers, while pre-sales are designed to retain large clients.
So the next day, the store set up a counter specifically for pre-sale registration.
Those who want to order mooncakes must first pay a 20% deposit, which will be delivered before the tenth day of the eighth lunar month.
These are all written on the list.
This was the first time anyone had seen this in the provincial capital, and everyone found it quite novel.
Some people even placed orders out of enthusiasm just to experience the feeling of pre-sales.
Once the statistics were compiled, it was discovered that the pre-sale orders from individual customers had already exceeded the orders from the textile factory.
This means that the food factory has to produce these two large orders in a short period of time, and also replenish the shelves of the specialty stores at any time.
"I suddenly realized that our factory is still not big enough."
Looking at such a large order, Lin Yuan felt that the food factory might have reached its limit.
It would be great if we had more manpower.
Lin Yu agreed, "Work hard. Now that we've made some money, it's time to hire more people."
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up; the recruitment meant that the factory was about to expand again.
It seems that the food factory will soon become a large-scale enterprise.
Lin Yu told him not to think too much about it; the most important thing right now was to produce all the orders, and there was no room for error.
Lin Yuan volunteered to go back to the factory to help, so Lin Yu let him leave.
Later, other companies heard about the mooncakes from the textile factory and called to place orders.
Unfortunately, Lin Yu's production capacity is limited, and they are unable to supply the goods.
She had no choice but to politely apologize and explain the situation.
"It's too late to make mooncakes this year. We'll expand next year and then we'll definitely invite you to try them."
Several factory leaders were debating whether or not to support this "farmer factory director".
Now it's all good, there's no need to argue anymore, they don't need their support.
Hu Xianfeng's friend knew that Lin Yu was his relative, and asked him, "Is business really that good?"
Hu Xianfeng knew, of course, that these people were still observing.
I've never really looked down on small food factories run by farmers.
Now it's time to prove them wrong: "Of course! I heard from Xiaoyu that their pre-sale orders are already full, and the workers have to work overtime to deliver on time. They can't take any new orders."
"However, if you want to try it, you can go to the store and line up to buy it, but each person is limited to one box."
Some leaders here are arrogant and think too highly of themselves, since Lin Yu has a textile factory as a major client.
They'll definitely have to come and beg them.
They've been waiting for her to deliver the mooncakes to their door so they can place an order.
Unexpectedly, now they have to queue up to buy mooncakes just to see what they look like.
After they all left, Hu Xianfeng laughed heartily and said, "Let them be so arrogant. Now it's all good. Our Xiaoyu won't have to beg them anymore."
Li Huimei also felt quite relieved, "Xiaoyu has a name on her side, and instead of supporting her, they want her to personally come to them and beg them to place an order. I really don't know what they're thinking."
"Old Liu, the factory director of the textile factory, is the most sensible."
Hu Xianfeng nodded: "Old Liu is quite good at interpreting policies. He must have seen how much the higher-ups value Xiaoyu's food factory."
As for others, all I can say is that people shouldn't be too self-important.
Everyone assumed that Lin Yu would definitely take the initiative to build relationships with them, but little did they know that those with foresight had already taken the initiative to approach her.
In Lin Yu's view, building relationships isn't so straightforward. For example, when she took the initiative to visit Zhao Xiujuan's parents, it was based on the premise that Zhao Xiujuan and Lin Wen had a very good relationship.
The fact that she was able to connect with the textile factory and the education bureau indicates that her efforts to build relationships were successful.
As for other organizations, without this article, she might have actually sent Lin Yuan to visit and promote their own mooncakes.
But in her view, this was purely for the benefit of the food factory and had no other motives.
It's impossible for these people to use this opportunity to help Lin Yu in other places.
Many people look down on factories run by rural people, yet they also want to get close to Lin Yu, a prominent figure who has been featured in the newspapers.
He had a very high opinion of himself.
This led to the current outcome.
Lin Yu was unaware of these things behind the scenes. In the following days, she was so busy that she didn't even have time to drink water and worked tirelessly every day.
Finally, on the tenth day of the lunar calendar, the factory completed all the pre-sale orders from the store and the orders from the textile factory.
Lin Yuan drove to the provincial capital once again.
The brother and sister could tell from each other's dark circles that neither of them had been having a good time lately.
After delivering all the goods, the two exchanged a smile.
A sharp slap.
"We've completed our mission!"
With two major concerns resolved, the store's employees finally felt much more relaxed.
Otherwise, I'd be constantly worried, afraid I wouldn't be able to deliver the mooncakes, and I'd also have to deal with customers who were eager to get theirs.
None of them were eating or sleeping well either.
