At this time, the mooncakes on the cooling table have finished cooling and are transferred to the next process - brushing with egg liquid.

I saw rows of neatly arranged mooncakes, like soldiers taking part in a military parade, passing through a brush board soaked in egg liquid one by one, and the surface of the cake was coated with a thin layer of oily, bright yellow egg liquid.

The mooncakes brushed with egg liquid are transferred to oven No. 2 for baking.

At the same time, the second batch of 500 mooncake embryos were completed and transferred to Oven No. 1 for the first baking.

Only two workers are needed for the entire production process.

One is responsible for the delivery of materials, and the other is responsible for monitoring and adjusting the production process.

Soon, baking in oven No. 2 was completed, and the first batch of 500 mooncakes were successfully baked and sent to the packaging workshop to wait for cooling before packaging.

Shen Mingzhu led the managers into the packaging workshop, randomly selected twenty mooncakes, cut them into small pieces, and tasted them together with the managers.

"The texture and taste are no different from those made by our workers!"

"Yeah, they all taste the same to me anyway, and the loss rate is lower than manual labor. In this batch of mooncakes, only two are not good in color, the rest are fine."

"In the future, our factory's mooncake production can be directly replaced by these production lines!"

The managers all looked at Shen Mingzhu, their eyes full of admiration.

No wonder the boss was not in a hurry at all after knowing that the wages of mooncake workers would increase this year. It turns out that he had such a good hand in his hand.

With orders and production capacity in place, there is hope that the factory will regain its glory!

Thinking of this, everyone's faces were filled with excitement and excitement.

…

Shen Mingzhu instructed people to take out the more than 400 mooncakes left over from the first batch and distribute them to every employee in the factory so that everyone could taste the results of the new production line.

At the same time, we also want to let employees know that advanced production technology can completely replace manual labor.

The times are progressing, technology is developing, and keeping pace with the times is the only way out.

"Mr. Shen, there are only a few factories in China that have such advanced automated production lines. Did you decide to introduce it on a whim, or did you have a plan in place?"

After coming out of the production workshop, the manager of the production department couldn't help but ask curiously.

After hearing this, the other managers also looked at Shen Mingzhu.

Shen Mingzhu smiled slightly: "I won't hide it from you. I had the idea of ​​introducing an automated production line three years ago. During the past few years when I was out of work, I have been doing research in this area."

Everyone suddenly realized and became more convinced of the founder Shen Mingzhu.

Back in the office, Xia Wushuang ran to her happily and reported: "Boss Shen, everyone is very worried after eating the mooncakes produced by the production line, fearing that they will be laid off."

Shen Mingzhu smiled, "You can tell them that as long as they do their job well, the factory will not lay them off just because of the introduction of automated production lines."

Xia Wushuang nodded hurriedly, and then thought of another thing:

"Boss Shen, you said before that the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. Can you reveal a little bit now?"

Fearing that Shen Mingzhu would refuse, he explained, "Today is already the 18th, and there are less than 40 days left until the Mid-Autumn Festival. Excluding transportation and scheduling, our production cycle can only take 35 days at most. I'm afraid we won't be able to complete the order of 350,000 boxes."

Shen Mingzhu did not answer, but took out a stack of beautifully printed mooncake coupons from the drawer.

“This is what I call the secret.”

"Is there anything special about this voucher?"

Shen Mingzhu took out a coupon and handed it over, "If you had a mooncake coupon, what would you do?"

"To exchange for mooncakes, of course."

In order to save manpower and transportation costs, food factories began using mooncake pick-up coupons many years ago.

Shen Mingzhu took out seven or eight mooncake coupons from the thick stack in her hand and handed them over. "What if you have a lot of mooncake coupons? You can't finish eating so many mooncakes, and you don't need so many for gifts."

Xia Wushuang blinked, "Then we can only sell it to ticket scalpers at a low price."

"What if I buy it back at the original price? Who will you sell it to?"

Xia Wushuang thought about it and understood Shen Mingzhu's intention. His eyes suddenly widened. "Let's sell the mooncake coupons and then buy them back at the original price. In this way, we don't need to redeem the mooncakes, and we don't need to produce them!?"

"But isn't this too risky? Aren't you afraid that someone will forge counterfeit vouchers to deceive us? And there are printing costs and taxes. Isn't this simply losing money to do business?"

Shen Mingzhu picked up a mooncake voucher and pointed to the nine-digit number below the anti-counterfeiting label on it: "In the past, you only needed to check the anti-counterfeiting label to redeem mooncakes, but this year there is an additional number. I asked Lihua to help me develop a backend redemption system. Each voucher corresponds to a number. The redeemed number will be directly cancelled in the backend."

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"Most importantly, this system is connected nationwide. Even in different cities and stores, once the coupons are redeemed, all employees can check them through computers, which can largely avoid the possibility of fraud and duplicate redemption."

Xia Wushuang studied computer science and understood it immediately.

"I understand, Mr. Shen. You promoted computer office work from the very beginning and encouraged everyone to learn computer. This was to pave the way for this exchange system in advance. You made a big move!"

Shen Mingzhu smiled, "That's pretty smart. As for taxes and printing costs, I didn't say I would exchange the full amount for cash. I plan to redeem the mooncake coupons in the form of cash vouchers and membership cards."

Xia Wushuang gave a thumbs up in admiration, "Boss Shen, you are so wise!"

…

Early the next morning.

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Chen from Lejia called and said he wanted to visit our new mooncake workshop to see how it's produced."

The news that the food factory introduced an automated production line for mooncakes spread among the industry a few days ago. Everyone had different opinions on the matter, but they were all watching closely in secret.

Now, some people are getting restless after learning that the production line has officially been put into operation and the output is impressive.

"No problem, just let me know after you make an appointment with Mr. Chen."

Hearing Shen Mingzhu's happy agreement, Xia Wushuang was a little worried, "Lejia has always been a strong competitor of our factory. If they learn our technology, aren't you afraid that they will steal our market share?"

Shen Mingzhu smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of him learning, I'm just afraid of him not learning."

Xia Wushuang was confused by these words. "Other people hide their good things, but you, Mr. Shen, are so worried that others can't take them away. What are you up to?"

Shen Mingzhu once again kept everyone in suspense. "You'll know what I'm up to when the time comes. Go make an appointment with Mr. Chen. Also, if anyone from other factories wants to come visit, they don't need to ask for my opinion, just arrange it directly."

"oh."

Xia Wushuang turned and left in confusion.

Perhaps because he was eager to see the true face of the emerging technology, Chen Zhihua brought several managers to the food factory for a visit and study that afternoon.

As expected, Chen Zhihua and his team were all shocked and amazed by the high standards and efficiency of the production line.

Everyone wants good things. (End of this chapter)
