What bounty campaign?
Another employee's family member who came to buy things said, "I know, it's all written in the announcement. As long as you can provide useful clues about speculators who resell counterfeit and shoddy canned goods, you will be rewarded with 50 cents for each clue. If it is a major clue, the minimum reward will be one dollar, and the maximum reward will be five dollars."
The woman who asked the first question widened her eyes upon hearing this, "You get paid just for providing clues?"
"That's what it says here: as long as the police verify that the clue is correct, they'll give you the money immediately. However, you can only receive the reward or canned food of equal value for each clue once, and you don't need any coupons for these."
In those days, supplies were scarce, and many families had money but no coupons to buy things. With the New Year just around the corner, they were searching everywhere for coupons.
This reward offers food from the Starfish Food Factory without any tickets—where else can you find such a good deal?
Everyone was excited and spread the news.
The news that Haixing Food Factory was offering a reward to those who speculated on counterfeit canned goods spread.
Along with this, the reputation of Coconut Grove brand canned goods also spread.
While everyone was excitedly searching for clues, they couldn't help but wonder just how delicious the Coconut Grove brand canned goods, the protagonist of the story, really were.
Many people flocked to nearby department stores or supply and marketing cooperatives to buy Coconut Grove brand canned goods.
This kind of thing has also happened in several places in Guangdong Province.
For a time, Coconut Grove brand canned goods were in short supply.
Wang Zhongfa sat in his office listening to his subordinates' report, his brows furrowed. "Why has the sales volume of canned goods decreased so much compared to last month?"
"Manager Wang, you may not know this, but recently many customers who come to buy canned goods have specifically asked for the Coconut Grove brand canned goods from Haixing Canned Food Factory."
Wang Zhongfa was puzzled. "If they want to buy, then we'll sell. What does that have to do with declining sales?"
Everyone in the meeting lowered their heads and remained silent.
"What exactly happened?" Wang Zhongfa asked, pointing to the subordinate who had just answered. "You tell me."
The man glanced at Wang Zhongfa and whispered, "As soon as people heard we didn't have Coconut Grove brand canned goods, they all went to the Hongqi Department Store next door to buy them. Their canned goods sales have increased several times over these days."
Wang Zhongfa slammed his hand on the table. "The Coconut Grove brand canned goods are selling so well, they must be excellent canned goods. Where is the person in charge of purchasing canned goods? Is this how you do things? Why didn't you purchase such a good new product?"
Wang Zhongfa was furious. Both Shengli Department Store and Guangdong Provincial Department Store were under the jurisdiction of the Commerce Bureau and were state-owned enterprises, so they were competitors.
He naturally didn't want to lose to Hongqi Department Store, the perennial runner-up.
The person in charge was so scolded that he almost cried. Unable to bear it any longer, he had no choice but to say, "Manager Wang, you forgot, you rejected this new canned food. You didn't think it was a good product, which is why you didn't bring it out for trial sale."
Wang Zhongfa was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned ashen. "This Coconut Grove brand canned food was developed by that female worker named Yu Yao?"
"yes."
The entire conference room fell silent. Wang Zhongfa never expected that he himself would be the one to embarrass him.
Thinking of the canned goods developed by Wang Chuntao piled up in the corner, he felt extremely regretful.
Who would have thought that a young girl's canned food would outperform a master cannery maker who had been making canned food for over a decade?
It's too late to regret it now.
This year, the advanced department store may change hands!
How hateful! How lamentable!
On Saturday afternoon, Yu Yao went to find Wu Huaiqing to arrange a departure time for the next morning.
Just as I left the workshop, I ran into Director Li, who was beaming with joy.
"Yu Yao, great news! I just received a call from the police. Someone provided a crucial lead! The police have already come to arrest the person!"
