A gleam of light flashed in Lu Zhiye's eyes, and he handed over the small can in his backpack.
This canning bottle is small, and Lu Zhiye asked the people from the canning factory to go to the glass factory to make it for him.
"Sister, we are from the next city and we just opened a canning factory. This is the canned food we made. How do you think it tastes?
Does it taste any worse than the ones you bought before?"
The elder sister who was measuring the cloth stared at the cans on the counter.
I just felt my mouth was watering. This can of food usually costs more than one dollar a bottle.
Their supply and marketing cooperative has only imported goods twice in the past few years, and the broken ones that were brought back were distributed to employees as welfare.
There is no soup or water in it, only fruit pulp, and the taste is very good.
The children are all eagerly waiting at home to have this treat.
Now, the canned food that the young man brought, although the bottle was relatively small, only had two or three pieces of fruit pulp in it.
But there is sugar water in it.
The big sister from the supply and marketing cooperative swallowed hard and said, "Do you really want me to taste this?"
Lu Zhiye knocked the glass bottle lid on the ground twice and opened the can easily.
He handed the can forward: "Big sister, try it. If it tastes good, I'll have to trouble you to introduce me to the person in charge of the supply and marketing cooperative."
There was a flash of hesitation in the eldest sister's eyes. This can of food was not to be eaten for nothing.
"This... I just told you the reason. If it's not easy to transport, we will still lose money in the end."
A smile slowly formed at the corner of Lu Zhiye's mouth.
"Don't worry about that. Our two cities are relatively close to each other. If you need a lot, we can deliver it to you.
After all, our canning factory has just been established, and I am planning to visit various major factories later in order to expand sales.”
Seeing the hesitation on the elder sister's face gradually fade away, Lu Zhiye gave her another dose of shocking news.
"Sister, if you can make this happen, I still have five or six cans of food in my backpack. You can take them back and give them to the children."
The eldest sister's expression suddenly became firm, but she was also very cautious: "Is it really just a hookup?"
"That's natural. Whether it succeeds or not is entirely our responsibility."
Lu Zhiye placed all five cans in his backpack on the table.
Leaning against the counter, he waited quietly for his elder sister to speak.
The elder sister turned around a few times, and finally gritted her teeth and stamped her feet and said, "Okay! At this time, the leader of our purchasing department happens to be here.
Please wait here for a moment, I will go to the house and shout, I promise to shout it out for you."
The eldest sister deftly stuffed a few cans under the counter and even covered them with a sweater she had knitted.
Lu Zhiye nodded slightly. He was not worried that this matter would fail.
Canned food is a scarce commodity for them. According to his understanding, there are no more than five canning factories in the entire Heilongjiang Province.
At just over one yuan a bottle, it is a luxury for ordinary people.
But for working class families or people in a higher class, it is still affordable to buy one or two bottles a month to satisfy their cravings.
Today’s canned foods do not contain any additives, but they are sterilized at high temperatures and can be kept for a long time.
In later generations, many people make canned food at home, and there is no problem storing it for a year or two.
After a while, a square-faced man walked out of the house.
"Is this the young man who is looking for me?"
The square-faced man looked up and down at Lu Zhiye with a sullen face: "Who is this little brother?"
Lu Zhiye stood up straight, smiled and greeted the square-faced man: "You are an employee of the canning factory in Tonghe County, the next city.
This time I came here to promote our canned food. Here is my letter of introduction."
Lu Zhiye handed over his letter of introduction and a can of food.
The square-faced man nodded slightly: "Come in."
After saying that, he walked towards the backyard first, and Lu Zhiye followed closely behind. When passing by the eldest sister, she made a gesture of encouragement to Lu Zhiye.
"This is Director Li."
Lu Zhiye nodded to indicate that he understood, but he secretly complained in his heart: What’s the matter, are all the leaders of the purchasing department of the supply and marketing cooperative monopolized by your Li family?
The decoration of the supply and marketing cooperative in the city is much more luxurious than that in their county town, and there are several warehouses in the backyard.
Seeing Lu Zhiye's curious look, Director Li smiled and said, "Our supply and marketing cooperative has a large demand. We not only have to meet the needs of the urban area, but sometimes we also have to supply local counties.
So we built a few more warehouses. Come in, young man, let’s have a good chat about canned food.
If the quality and price of your canned food are really acceptable, we can buy more."
Director Li looked at Lu Zhiye, who was looking around like a young boy, and a bit of complacency appeared on his face.
I was also quietly wondering in my mind whether I should lower the price a little more.
Lu Zhiye nodded and flattered him: "It is indeed big, but not as big as our cannery. Director Li, let me tell you, our cannery covers an area of more than ten acres.
Our workshop is several times bigger than your warehouse.
There is just one bad thing: the cannery is built next to the commune, and the commune leaders come to inspect it every few days.”
Director Li originally thought that their cannery was strong, but when he heard that it was located below the county town, his face trembled.
What an idiot! How can you compare the land in the village with the land in the city?
"Haha, then your cannery is quite big."
Director Li laughed dryly twice, opened the door and motioned Lu Zhiye to follow in.
It's really shameful to be on the same level as this idiot! ! !
I didn't expect that this young man looked so handsome and his eyes were full of cleverness.
What he said and did was stupid! !
Director Li poured a glass of water for Lu Zhiye and said with a smile: "What is the price of a can in your canning factory?
Show me the production qualifications or something."
Lu Zhiye hurriedly took out a thick stack of papers from the backpack behind him and handed it over.
“When I arrived, the leader said that for large quantities, a can would cost 1.4 yuan.
If you buy a small amount, it’s 1.5 yuan! ”
Director Li suppressed the shrewdness in his eyes and took a quick look at the things in his hand: "Young man, you are not honest.
The canned food that our supply and marketing cooperative previously purchased only cost 1.7 yuan.
This also includes labor, transportation and other costs.
If it's $1.40, we won't make much money."
Lu Zhiye cursed the old fox in his heart. He had previously asked Director Ge from the glass factory to help him inquire about the shipping prices of several canning factories.
The price he quoted was just a few cents more than theirs.
According to Director Li, it seemed like he had reported a few cents too much.
Lu Zhiye picked up the ceramic jar on the table and drank a large glass with a grunt.
He smiled and said, "Then I don't know, this is the price our leader quoted me before he came!
I can't just put money in it myself. Oh, here's our boss's office phone number. Why don't we call and ask?"
