He noticed that everyone was looking at him expectantly, so he said loudly, "I'll come back to buy potatoes later. The price is still ten cents a pound. I want 1,500 pounds."
When the villagers heard her say this, they all looked happy, as if the money was waving at them.
After the potatoes were transported there, all 1,200 kilograms of potatoes were processed into potato chips, and the factory was suddenly fully stocked.
Fried foods like potato chips are very popular in every era.
Not to mention that at this time, no one has ever eaten this kind of thing.
The potato chip business was already good, and now there is no need to worry about a lack of raw materials, so the factory will of course increase its efforts in potato chip production.
At the same time, some smart grocery stores had already noticed the prospects of these potato chips and came to cooperate with Zheng Wangshu.
Orders for potato chips came pouring in like raindrops, and the workers in the factory were very happy because the more work they did, the more work they had to do. They could earn so much money just by cutting and frying potatoes every day, which was much better than doing hard labor.
After a while, Zheng Wangshu could even hear children and family members asking for pocket money to buy potato chips on the street.
"Boss, the potato chips launched by Zhenxing Food Factory are selling very well recently. Do you think we should follow suit and make a batch?"
In addition, other food factory employees saw that the potato chips were selling so well and started to have bad ideas, so they hurried to offer advice to the boss.
"Potato chips? What are those? Are they that delicious?"
The boss picked up a bag of potato chips bought by an employee, tore it open and looked at it carefully. He took a piece and put it in his mouth. His eyes suddenly lit up. It didn't look very good, but it tasted crispy and refreshing.
Isn't this just potatoes coated in starch and salt and fried?
If he can also do it, the profit will be huge!
The boss immediately ordered his employees to make potato chips.
On this side, Zheng Wangshu also learned that many snack manufacturers followed suit and started selling potato chips.
This thing is simple to make, and she didn't intend to take on this business alone. She had already thought about it from the beginning, so she is not in a hurry now.
However, as the popularity of potato chips grew louder, there were gradually fewer potatoes on the market.
The potato chip production of other manufacturers has gradually begun to decrease, but Zheng Wangshu is still able to purchase a lot of potatoes, which has also attracted the attention of many snack manufacturers.
Smart people have already sent their men to the countryside to buy potatoes.
The price of potatoes was raised overnight.
At this time, Wangjia Village.
"Have you heard? The price of potatoes has gone up. It's almost 20 cents per pound!"
A man had just returned from the city, and before he had time to wash off the dirt, he started shouting in the village.
"Why is it so high? Did Boss Zheng cheat us by giving our village only 10 cents per pound of potatoes?"
When a woman heard this, her face turned ugly.
Others couldn't help but talk about it.
"The price outside is so high, so we might as well just sell it to them."
"That's right, it seems that woman is not a good person either!"
"What should I do? The delivery time is almost here..."
"Just don't pay it, just sell it directly to the boss who offers the highest price."
After the villagers discussed it, they felt that the price Zheng Wangshu offered was too cheap and no one wanted to sell it.
On this side, Wang's parents had been waiting for the villagers to deliver the goods, but no one showed up.
After asking, I found out that the villagers thought the price of potatoes was too low and were unwilling to sell them.
"How can this be possible? We have already agreed on this."
The Queen Mother was so angry that her face turned red, and she ran out to argue with the villagers.
"Who knows if your family is in cahoots with that woman surnamed Zheng? I wonder how much money they've taken from us."
"That's right, I won't sell it to you!"
The villagers who greeted them and thanked them with a smile the last time they met seemed like different people now, with disdainful expressions on their faces.
Wang's father and mother felt very sad, but they didn't know what to do. They could only watch the villagers sell the potatoes to people from other factories.
Zheng Wangshu found that there were more and more potato chips on the market, of various brands, but she had already thought of a countermeasure.
Potato chips don't just come in one flavor.
She added flavors such as tomato and cucumber. These ingredients were obtained through repeated experiments in later generations, and of course they are delicious to people today.
The new product was sold out again.
Original potato chips are delicious too, but most people like to try something new, not to mention that other flavors can stimulate the taste buds more.
The potato chips produced by Zheng Wangshu's factory instantly took the lead, and the potato chips sold by other manufacturers looked mediocre in comparison, not to mention that they were sold at a higher price.
After all, the purchase price of their raw materials is high, and if they want higher profits, the price will naturally go up.
With delicious and cheap potato chips, of course people won’t be foolish enough to buy expensive ones.
Zheng Wangshu's rival snack factory purchased nearly a thousand kilograms of potatoes, but was stunned to find that its own potato chips could not be sold at all.
These potatoes are piled up in the warehouse. If they can't be sold, they will sprout, which is something they don't want to see.
So I quickly returned the remaining goods.
The villagers realized something was wrong when they learned that the potatoes they had sold were returned.
They hurried to contact Wang Chaolu's parents, but it was too late. Zheng Wangshu was no longer planning to purchase potatoes from Wangjia Village.
She was very clear about the difference between gratitude and grudge. Since the people in Wangjia Village couldn't see clearly and couldn't handle this business, she would let someone else do it.
At this point, it was too late for the villagers to regret.
"Lulu's father, we are from the same village after all, so please make some concessions to Boss Zheng..."
"That's right, no one in town is buying potatoes anymore, so I can't sell them at all!"
Many people came to see the king's father and mother with sad faces, but the two of them followed Zheng Wangshu's wishes and refused to give in.
Wang Chaolu was also very angry when she learned about this.
"I originally wanted to help my fellow villagers make money together, but since they are so ungrateful, Mom and Dad, you should take Wangshu to the next village to buy potatoes."
The king's father and mother nodded in agreement, indicating that they also had this idea.
Zheng Wangshu and a few others went to the next village to buy potatoes. This time she signed a contract with the villagers.
The people in the neighboring village also knew what happened in Wangjia Village and didn't understand why they were so stupid as to let go of such a big business.
Now that the business has fallen on them, the people in the neighboring village naturally will not refuse it and are so happy that they can't contain themselves.
After signing the contract and taking the potatoes away, Zheng Wangshu went home to rest.
These past two days, she was dizzy just thinking about the ingredients and flavors of the potato chips, and she was even more exhausted when she had to take care of the children at home.
After all, now that Ye Yichen is in trouble, the factory has lost a key member and there are more things to do.
