Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

"Hehehe, that's nothing. I plan to ask your brother-in-law to help me collect it later."

Lin Hongyu said happily: "He runs around all day long. I asked him to ask around to see which places have good peppers and contact the local supply and marketing cooperatives to help collect them. When the time comes, hey, I, Lin Hongyu, will take care of all the raw materials your cooperative needs!"

"Then you will be very rich. I'm afraid you will earn more than my elder sister."

Lin Zhengjun smiled and said, "But this is normal. Among us children, you are the most business-minded. You have been smart since you were young!"

"Zhengjun, stop teasing me."

Lin Hongyu said embarrassedly: "Although I am happy, I am not so confused as to lose my mind and don't know my own weight!"

"The key to the success of this business is not how high the profit is, but how much your food cooperative wants."

"Otherwise, if you collect only 10 or 8 kilograms a day, that's only half the profit, so how much money can you make?"

Lin Sanhuai smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's enough for you to know that it is the credit of the army. Don't be proud and complacent. Listen to the army more, otherwise, you will fall!"

Lin Hongyu said seriously: "Dad, don't worry, I will."

At this moment, the sound of a bicycle bell rang at the door.

Lin Zhengjun walked to the door and saw Xu Zhigong and a strange middle-aged man tying bicycles.

Lin Zhengjun hurriedly went to greet him and said with a smile: "Director Xu, why are you here? This is..."

Xu Zhigong said happily: "This is Comrade Qin Danian, a buyer from the Shenyang State-owned Department Store in Liaoning Province. He wants to talk to you about purchasing canned food!"

"Comrade Zhengjun, you are young and promising. I have heard of your name for a long time!" Qin Danian shook hands and greeted him.

"Comrade Qin Danian, you have worked hard on the journey. Why don't we go to the factory and talk?" Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

After a quick guess, he guessed that the serial broadcast of the novel "The Shepherd" had played a role in Liaoning Province.

You know, the power of "chatterbox" is very great now!

After all, literary youth are only a small group, but radio listeners are a much larger group.

Radios are still a rarity in the countryside, but in towns, almost every household has one.

There are also some radio stations set up by factories and mines that directly broadcast the programs of radio stations.

"Okay, okay, I just want to take a look at the factory and products!" Qin Danian said with a smile.

When they arrived at the factory, Lin Zhengjun first took Qin Danian on a tour of the factory.

When he learned that the factory's equipment production line was imported from the Arctic Ocean Factory and saw the workers' skilled and standardized operations, Qin Danian was amazed and expressed his admiration.

Sitting down in the office, Wei Zhanjun unpacked the Monkey King Jasmine Tea, brewed the tea, and placed it in front of Qin Danian, Xu Zhigong and Lin Zhengjun respectively.

"Comrade Zhengjun, that's amazing!"

Qin Danian took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "I never thought that such a modern canning factory would be built in this small mountain valley!"

Lin Zhengjun smiled and said, "This is only the first phase of the construction project. When we reach the second phase, we will further expand the scale and introduce more production lines!"

"Although we are a collective factory, as you can see, our equipment and product quality are no less than those of the state-owned factories in the city!"

"The quality of state-owned factories may not be good!" Qin Danian nodded, agreeing with him.

He visited suddenly and did not say hello in advance. What he saw was the truest side of the food cooperative. Normally, this is how they produce and operate.

Family disgrace should not be made public, so there are some things he cannot say openly.

Just a while ago, he went to a cannery in Shenyang to purchase goods and saw with his own eyes the workers urinating in the raw material workshop!

The key thing is that he often eats that canned food. I was so angry that I almost vomited the overnight meal.

He reported the situation to the factory manager, but the manager had no way of firing the worker and could only hang a wooden sign in the workshop that read "No urination or defecation in the workshop allowed."

But canned food is also in urgent need in the Northeast, especially for lumberjacks, geologists, power grid workers and other groups who often work in the field.

They live in the wild all year round and have no access to fresh meat and vegetables, so they need canned food to provide sufficient fat, carbohydrates, protein and vitamins.

Qin Danian smiled and said, "After seeing the factory, I feel relieved. I want to buy a batch of canned yellow peaches."

"Come on, don't be impatient, try the sample first."

Lin Zhengjun finished speaking.

Wei Zhanjun, who was sorting out the attendance sheets nearby, immediately brought out a bottle of canned yellow peaches and a bottle of canned spicy fish. After opening them, he placed a pair of chopsticks and a small plate in front of Qin Danian.

The canned yellow peaches were said to be sold out, but in fact there were still about a hundred bottles left.

No other meaning, just as a sample.

If a foreign merchant comes and you tell him that you have sold out, he may never come again. But if he tries it and is impressed, he may come back to buy when the next batch of products is on the market.

Qin Danian took two bites and immediately praised it highly. He said, "Comrade Zhengjun, I want to place an order for canned yellow peaches. I want 50,000 bottles!"

In the Northeast, the temperature drops quickly in autumn and winter, and once winter comes, the area is covered with ice and snow.

At present, there are no plastic greenhouses and there are basically no fresh vegetables in winter. Vitamin supplementation often relies on cabbage, radish, and pickled cabbage.

Another thing is canned fruit.

Lin Zhengjun said with a smile: "Director Qin, to be honest, canned yellow peaches are in great demand. We have produced more than 100,000 bottles before, and Yanjing Department Store sold them all in one go!"

"Oh, I'm late!" Qin Danian was stunned and sighed regretfully.

"It's no good if you come too early. All parts of the country need to keep up with the supply to the capital!"

Lin Zhengjun smiled and said, "However, you came at the right time this time. The production of canned spicy fish is in full swing and the supply is open!"

Qin Danian hesitated a little: "I can guarantee the sales of canned yellow peaches. Since the Liao Provincial Radio Station played "The Horse Herder", customers come to the department store every day to ask about it. The taste of canned spicy fish is indeed not bad, but..."

Nowadays, as the economy is gradually liberalized and revitalized, many supply and marketing cooperatives have acquired the right to set prices independently and can increase prices for some in-demand commodities and retain profits.

He looked at the busy scene in the department store, where canned yellow peaches were sold at a price of only two yuan!

However, the popularity of spicy canned fish may not be as high!

Lin Zhengjun said: "In The Horse Herders, canned spicy fish is also described, but it is not described as much as canned yellow peaches!"

There is nothing we can do about this.

Lin Zhengjun was producing canned yellow peaches at the time, so the product placement advertisement would definitely focus on canned yellow peaches.

“But in Under the Hawthorn Tree, the description is mainly about canned spicy fish!”

As Lin Zhengjun spoke, he handed a November issue of People's Literature to Qin Danian.

Qin Danian was a little confused: "What do you mean? Not only are you advertising your product in this novel, but it's in not just one novel, but several novels?"
