434 The Story of Time

This year's mooncake reservations far exceed production capacity, and they are only sold to Chengzhen near the city and some old customers. If the sales range covers the entire city, the province, or even the country, no matter how many production lines are opened, it will not be enough.

Mooncakes are a seasonal food and are only produced in the two months before the festival. If they are produced too early, they cannot be preserved.

After the so-called "mooncake special line" is busy for two or three months, the staff will be deployed to help other production lines and will start producing mooncakes before the Mid-Autumn Festival next year. Therefore, Su Taotao has no plans to expand production.

This year it is only a "trial operation". After all, the flavors of mooncakes on the market are very simple, either red bean paste, lotus paste, salted egg yolk or five-nut, and they are all sold in packages of one pound. It would be good for an ordinary family to buy one pound for the next festival, and they simply can't bear to eat more flavors.

Therefore, once the "Coconut Mooncake" with a price of 0.20 yuan each and individually packaged was launched, it became a "myth" in the mooncake industry. People were reluctant to buy a pound of it, but they were always willing to buy one or two to try it. Therefore, it was sold out as soon as it was launched on the market and the demand could not meet the supply.

The unit that originally ordered coconut candy as a holiday gift also added mooncake benefits on top of the original order. If they can't afford to give out a pound of mooncakes, then they can give out one. As the saying goes, scarcity makes things valuable, and this one is more valuable than a pound of mooncakes.

The headquarters was one of the few sister units outside the province that received mooncakes. Two colleagues who received mooncakes happily chatted with their friends about gossip:

Colleague A: "The affiliated food factory in the south has released coconut mooncakes this year. Has your company distributed them?"

Friend: "No, the one that sells coconut candy?"

Colleague A: "Yeah, apart from them, who else would have such an idea?"

Colleague B: "Yeah, but our company was also stingy and only gave out one."

Colleague A: "How can you say you are cheating? You can't even order one. Look at how exquisite your mooncakes are. They are a whole circle smaller than normal mooncakes. They look like works of art. I can't bear to eat them."

Colleague B: "That packaging bag is so pretty. The kid on the packaging bag has grown up again. This year there is also a big black dog, just like a comic book. My children have collected all the packaging bags from previous years and save them like treasures. They ask me every day why I haven't released new ones."

My friend enviously said, "Your company has really good benefits. Our company has a lot of people this year, so let alone mooncakes, the coconut candies we distributed are a little less than last year. But this year's packaging bags are really nice-looking, and my kids like them, too."

I heard that the packaging bag designer plans to finish a comic book called "The Story of Time" before entering high school. He will be in the third grade of junior high school next year, and it is estimated that it will be available on the market before next summer vacation."

Colleague A: "Really? How did you know? The southern base is 108,000 miles away from our headquarters, and even we don't know about it. Who told you that?"

Colleague B also expressed doubts: "That's not enough, is it? Can a junior high school student draw the pattern on this packaging bag?"

Friend: "Of course not. Strictly speaking, he was only in the fourth or fifth grade when the first batch of coconut candy was launched."

Colleague A: “Is it fake?”

Friend: "Hey, did I trick you into giving you candy? I have a relative who works there. My relative said that the packaging designer is the nephew of the factory manager of the subsidiary factory. He also said that the factory manager's family is very good-looking and smart. The female factory manager can produce such a product, so what's wrong with the nephew drawing a small packaging bag?"

Colleague B: "That's true. Is it true that he's going to publish a comic strip? It would be great if it were true. My little brat wouldn't chase me for packaging bags every day."

Friend: "It's true. I heard it has been sent to the printing factory and scheduled for printing. If it goes well, it may be released during this winter vacation."

…

The gossip from my friend was correct. During the winter vacation of 1-9-7-6, the first edition of the comic book "The Story of Time" written by Fu Yuanhang and endorsed by Mr. Tang was officially released by the subsidiary company.
