Chapter 715 Plan
The call was from Mr. Mai.
Mr. Mai's amiable voice came into Jiang Xia's ears through the receiver: "Xiao Xia, are you on vacation?"
Jiang Xia held his sister's hand that was reaching for the microphone and said with a smile, "Grandpa Jiang, hello. I'm on vacation now. I just got home yesterday. Have you come to S City? When are you free to have dinner?"
They haven’t met since Mr. Mai returned to Hong Kong Island after the last Guangzhou Trade Fair, and Jiang Xia still owes him a meal.
Mr. Mai replied, "Not yet, I'm still in Hong Kong Island. Have the fish you raise grown up? I'll be back in the mainland tomorrow morning. I'll introduce you to a seafood wholesaler. He wants to buy seafood in the mainland and visit the small fishing village. He also wants to take a look at the fish and mussels you raise. When are you free?"
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "We are all free recently, and you are welcome anytime. Whenever you come over, A Lei and I will pick you up."
Mr. Mai: "No need, we can just drive to your village ourselves."
"Our village is not that easy to find. Let us pick you up." Jiang Xia still asked about their time of crossing the border and roughly when they would arrive so that he could pick them up then.
There is no navigation now. Although there are road signs on the road because there is a wharf in their village, it is true that it is still difficult to find the road even with the signs.
My sister was babbling in her mother's arms, and it was obvious that she wanted to listen or talk on the phone again.
When Mr. Mai heard the child's voice, he smiled and asked, "Who is that B-boy? Let her listen to the phone."
Jiang Xia: "It's my little sister."
Then Jiang Xia said to his sister, "Xiaobao, when great grandfather talks to you, you should call him great grandfather."
Jiang Xia put the receiver to his daughter's ear.
On the other end of the phone, Mr. Mai softened his voice and said, "Hello, is this Xiaobao? I'm your great-grandfather! Do you still remember your great-grandfather? Do you miss him? You will see him tomorrow! He misses you so much..."
Mr. Mai was talking to his sister on the other end of the phone.
The little one opened his eyes wide and listened curiously, without saying a word.
Jiang Xia smiled and gently squeezed her little hand: "Don't you usually talk a lot? Why don't you say anything?"
The younger sister looked up at her mother, and then as if she suddenly realized something, she started babbling.
Mr. Mai listened happily, and even though he didn't understand, he was happy just listening.
Even if the phone bill is expensive.
In this way, he communicated with his sister for almost minutes. Although no one could understand what each other was saying, Jiang Xia felt that this was not a solution. He said he wanted to coax his sister to sleep, and then said a few words to Mr. Mai, agreed on a meeting time, and hung up the phone.
The little sister grabbed the telephone cord and refused to let go! This little girl will definitely be a chatterbox when she grows up!
She carefully unplugged the phone line and said, "I need to go to bed. My brothers and the others are waiting anxiously. Got it? We'll talk next time."
My sister was still pointing at the phone and talking.
Jiang Xia coaxed her and carried her upstairs.
Zhou's mother had already carried her older and younger brothers upstairs.
Now the three kids can fall asleep on their own without being coaxed. Just put them in bed and let them play for a while. She will lie beside them and keep them company, and the three of them will happily communicate in baby language.
I don’t know if they could understand what each other was saying. Jiang Xia didn’t understand anything, but she thought it was very cute and sounded nice. She couldn’t help but kiss them. After kissing them, she lay down for a while and then fell asleep. When she woke up, the three children were also asleep.
She didn't even know when they fell asleep.
After Jiang Xia got up, she asked Zhou's mother to help keep an eye on the three kids, and then drove to the factory as she still had to make the French fries.
This busy afternoon lasted another whole day.
Let’s not talk about the taste of the French fries for now. The taste can be adjusted, but Jiang Xia can guarantee that the taste of the French fries is absolutely amazing!
Even in modern times, there are few brands that can compare.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, the Marquis came over again. He tasted the potato chips and French fries, his eyes widened, and he excitedly gave a thumbs up, "Delicious! This stuff will definitely sell well! How much is this per bag?"
"New product promotion, potato chips at the factory price of 30 cents a bag. French fries at 35 cents a bag."
French fries will make more money than potato chips.
Because potato chips are fragile, the packaging is more particular.
Jiang Xia did the math. Potatoes are cheap, but seasonings and oil are expensive, as well as labor, transportation, and packaging costs. She packed the chips with nitrogen. A 50-gram bag of potato chips costs about 20 cents.
There is another type of potato chip packaging, which is packed in a paper can wrapped in tin foil and kraft paper. The packaging is still being ordered. The canned one is more convenient to transport, but that packaging will be more expensive to order.
The packaging actually costs more than the chips themselves.
The Marquis was well-informed and knew that potato chips were only available overseas. He said, "Okay, I'll take all the ones you made today."
Jiang Xia: "The bulk shipment will be available tomorrow afternoon. There is no bulk shipment today. We only have sample packs. I'll give you some to take back to the supplier for tasting. For the bulk shipment, you can take the small fish and kelp back!"
"Just have sample packs. After they try them, they order more." He is very confident about these potato chips and French fries.
Jiang Xia: "After the Chinese New Year, I will advertise these fries and potato chips on TV and radio. You can tell customers who place orders to order more. After the Chinese New Year, when the advertisement is broadcast, the price will not be the same anymore. It will be at least 40 to 50 cents a bag."
This is the first bag of potato chips and french fries in China. Jiang Xia wants to quickly increase its popularity and seize the entire Chinese market.
Several production lines were delivered before the Chinese New Year, so we can quickly expand production after the Chinese New Year.
The Marquis' eyes lit up: "I know!"
She didn't expect that Jiang Xia would actually think of advertising potato chips, and not in newspapers, but on TV and radio!
Although not many people own televisions and tape recorders nowadays, those who do are those who can afford snacks.
The factory's get off work hours were off at 5:30 p.m., and at 5:20 p.m., Jiangxia called He Xinghuan, Aunt Fen, and Xu Ling to go home together.
As they walked towards the car, Jiang Xia saw someone talking to the guard in the guard room.
She originally thought that he came to inquire about the job, but unexpectedly she vaguely heard the other party asking what products their factory was making and why they smelled so good.
It was probably someone from a nearby food factory who came to inquire. Jiang Xia didn't care, as long as the secret recipe was not leaked.
The market is huge, so even if the other party finds out and wants to follow suit, it doesn’t matter.
She can't make all the money of everyone in the world.
Whoever can do bigger is the one with the ability.
Moreover, Jiangxia had previously found out what foods nearby food factories mainly produced.
It is normal for peers to compete with each other.
When the man saw Jiang Xia driving away from the factory, he guessed that it was the factory director and left quickly.
Jiang Xia returned home at around six o'clock, and Zhou Chenglei and Zhou's father had both returned from sea.
Jiang Xia asked: "How is it? Can the fish in the cages be sold?"
