The clerk took a look at the thing.

"This smoked meat is a specialty of our An County. It tastes very good and is sold outside for four yuan per pound! Even so, we are almost unable to handle the large number of orders. The packaging labeling issue must be implemented as soon as possible. We are urging them to do so."

So expensive.

The clerk weighed the smoked meat in his hand. It must have weighed at least two kilograms. Adding the two packs of cigarettes, these things would cost at least ten yuan.

"Okay then, I'll go see if the production manager is done with his work."

After a while, the production manager came.

As soon as they met, the production director shook hands with them enthusiastically and said, "You are the comrades from An County, right?"

Although he looked enthusiastic, the production director had a bitter face as soon as Shen Xiangbei raised his request: "It's just that we had too many orders before."

But in the end, Shen Xiangbei gave some expensive gifts and got the production director's promise.

After it was over, Shen Ruoqing didn't rush to leave. Instead, he walked around the printing factory and gave out a lot of bacon.

It was still early, so Shen Xiangbei took Shen Ruoqing to a state-owned restaurant in the provincial capital for a meal.

"Little sister, just order whatever you want to eat. It's my treat."

“Isn’t it public money?”

"Haha, all the same, all the same."

Shen Ruoqing ordered two dishes and sat down to wait. While waiting, he saw a familiar figure walking outside the door.

The man was none other than Mr. Ji, who had done business with Shen Ruoqing once.

Shen Ruoqing pursed his lips. It turned out that this big profiteer had not been arrested yet.

Last year, because of the black market speculation on rice prices, the country cracked down hard. If Brother Biao hadn't been reminded by me, he would have been imprisoned. I didn't expect that Master Ji was so capable.

Shen Ruoqing didn't care too much about the people passing by. After all, the money and goods had been paid between them, and she had no right to care what Mr. Ji did.

The food came soon.

Shen Ruoqing and Shen Xiangbei were eating and chatting: "Fourth brother, it's still early now, how about we go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the provincial capital later?"

Shen Xiangbei actually had the same idea. They had finally come to the provincial capital, and Shen Xiangbei himself planned to get a few more orders.

Shen Ruoqing also wanted to help get orders, so she came out with Shen Xiangbei.

However, the two of them had no roots in the provincial capital. After several attempts to sell their products, the other party was too lazy to listen to them when they heard that they were a small factory that had just opened in the commune, and the price of smoked meat was not cheap, so they simply sent them away.

This made Shen Xiangbei a little discouraged.

A lot of bacon was delivered, but none of the orders were returned.

"It's okay, Fourth Brother. Everything is difficult at the beginning. If it really doesn't work out, we can sell it in the county town first. If it sells well, we can think about expanding the market. Our smoked meat is delicious, and good wine needs no bush." ​​Shen Ruoqing didn't expect that it would be so difficult to get into the supply and marketing cooperative in the provincial capital. The other party didn't even listen to their details and sent them out. They didn't even have a way to give gifts.

It was getting late, so Shen Ruoqing and Shen Xiangbei decided to go back first.

This was the first time Shen Ruoqing had encountered setbacks in such a long time, but she was not discouraged. She was too anxious and wanted to expand the market to the provincial capital in one go. However, their smoked meat had not yet become famous, and had not even started formal sales, so it was normal to be rejected.

Shen Ruoqing thought that he had to find a way to increase the popularity of Zhongxing smoked meat.

How about advertising?

That's a pretty good idea.

Shen Ruoqing told Shen Xiangbei about the idea of ​​advertising.

"If you can see our Zhongxing smoked meat in the newspaper, it will increase our popularity, and future sales will be much smoother."

Shen Xiangbei clapped his thigh and said this was a good idea.

"But why would a newspaper publish our bacon?"

"We pay advertising fees, that is, we give money to the newspaper to publish an advertisement."

"Little sister, you have good writing skills, so you will be responsible for writing the advertisement. I will discuss this matter with the captain and the others."

Shen Ruoqing took over this important task with honor.

In fact, it is not difficult to think of advertising slogans. The most important thing is how to make others remember them.

The slogan written by Shen Ruoqing is very simple: Zhongxing smoked meat makes people want to eat it again. If you want to give a gift, give Zhongxing smoked meat.

But for these two slogans, Shen Ruoqing wrote a long article about their heritage culture of smoked meat, etc.

Nowadays, people have no awareness of advertising. As long as something is in the newspaper, people will think that it must be very good. Otherwise, how could it be in the newspaper?

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

When Shen Ruoqing found the county newspaper, the newspaper leaders were still confused.

What? Paying for an article in a newspaper?

This was the first time he had encountered such a thing. In the past, they had to pay the authors for their work, but this was the first time he had to pay them.

"We just want to publish an article introducing our Anxian specialty, Zhongxing smoked meat. Don't worry, the content is absolutely positive."

The newspaper leaders knew Shen Ruoqing. This girl had published articles in the Dazhong Daily in the provincial capital, and also published two or three articles in their newspaper. Because she was young and talented, the newspaper leaders even thought about recruiting this girl, but she refused.

"How about you take a look at the article I wrote first?"

After reading it, the newspaper leader finally nodded and said, "Okay."

In fact, the income of a small newspaper in a county like theirs is not high, and many people still prefer to read newspapers in the provincial capital. There is nothing wrong with the article published by Shen Ruoqing, and it can also increase the income of the newspaper. The leaders of the newspaper feel that there is nothing to refuse.

After settling the matter, Shen Ruoqing paid the money and also gave smoked meat to the leaders and several staff members of the newspaper.

Because we had arranged with the printing factory, the packaging labels were printed in just seven days.

After it was packaged, the first batch of bacon was sold.

The Agricultural Machinery Bureau sold 500 kilograms, and the Supply and Marketing Cooperative asked for 1,000 kilograms.

The Agricultural Machinery Bureau paid the full amount in one go, and the supply and marketing cooperative sold on credit. If sales were not good, the supply and marketing cooperative would take the bacon back.

But it doesn’t matter. Shen Ruoqing is confident that the supply and marketing cooperative will definitely buy back the smoked meat from their factory.

Because he had gotten through to the Planning Bureau, several other bureaus also ordered some bacon. During this period, Shen Xiangbei asked the workers at the Zhongxing Non-staple Food Factory to work overtime, and the previous batch of goods was sold out.

He had the same idea as Shen Ruoqing. The smoked meat from their factory was so delicious that he wanted to eat it again after having tried it. He would definitely place another order.

Some bureaus originally ordered 500 to 100 kilograms just to save face, but after tasting the food, they actually placed orders for several hundred kilograms again.

In a while, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Shen Xiangbei was unwilling to miss this festival, so he asked Captain Tang to discuss with the captain of the Guolin Brigade and decided to jointly purchase some mooncakes, stuff them with bacon and canned food, and make them into Mid-Autumn Festival gift boxes for sale.

Canned meat and fruit are both in-demand items right now, so giving a mooncake gift box like this will definitely make you look very proud.
