Amid the sound of firecrackers, the honeycomb coal factory officially opened and looked a little dismal. Apart from a large area of ​​cleaned up, there was only one thatched warehouse, piles made of large wooden sticks, rice straw covered on it, and some honeycomb coal processed yesterday, as well as dozens of furnace samples.

Originally, the stove should be covered with iron sheet to ensure it was safe, but this will undoubtedly increase the cost. The commune also lacks equipment processing. In this way, according to the "steamer" style, a layer of bamboo treasures were coated on the stove. The bamboo used was composed of nan bamboo and mosaic bamboo. They were all specially treated, such as burning it with open flame, which can prevent the bamboo sheet from rotting and molding, and it is not easy to be ignited. It will be fine if it can be used for many years.

The cost of the stove is really cheap, so Fang Dajun does not intend to make money on the stove. After the market is first expanded, it will be "upgraded". Then he will make a profit by building a tin stove.

When the business opened, he still stood in front. Wang Hongwen and his wife were not in the right position, and Han Mei was not in the right position as a people's teacher, so he was the only one who arranged the program in front.

The process is simple. The commune cadres who come to the community are all acquaintances, and there is no need for many villagers. The next thing is more important, and we need to look at the market reaction.

After so many days, some of the salesmen sent out have returned one after another, enough to deal with it.

———————

The next day on the 26th, Beidou double number was not in the market. On weekdays, the streets were very deserted. It was fine if the weekend was changed, because there were children coming out to play, but today it was Tuesday, class day, so it should have been even colder.

But Beidou became abnormal today. Early in the morning, the sound of beating Luo and drums came from the central court...

The first wave of sales planned by Fang Dajun is about to start. The coal factory is considered a private enterprise. This is not in accordance with the rules. It is currently affiliated with the name of the cement factory. The procedures for the cement factory have already been completed. Wang Hongwen went to the county to register the "Jiaoshan People's Cement Factory" and was organized collectively. Naturally, the respective shares cannot be registered, but are distributed privately. Now everyone's credit value is very high, and people have not yet reached the level of lack of trust, but trust will gradually become indifferent with the times.

In order to do this this morning, Han Mei made a special adjustment to the course. The chemistry course was not available until the third year of junior high school. She led two of the classes. The courses were actually very easy. There were few chemistry courses. Because she directly led the third year of junior high school, her level was excellent. In addition, another chemistry teacher was about to retire. She can be said to be the only chemistry teacher in Beidou area who can show off. Naturally, she is very tough in school. Even the principal had to give in when she was unreasonable.

Han Mei and his wife live in the town. To open up the Beidou market, they have to rely on their secret efforts.

"Dongdong~!"

The scene was really loud, with gongs and drums, firecrackers and red flags roaring, and crowds of people... Uh! It was a little exaggerated, but the central stadium was indeed very lively, surrounded by many people, and it was already in a position of not losing to the market day.

Fang Dajun got up before dawn and arranged various matters. He used ten bamboo trucks to pull 100 stoves into the town, and transferred two tons, totaling 1,600 honeycomb coal with a diameter of five inches and weighing 1,250 grams. The workers had to stack the honeycomb coal one meter high and neatly in the site.

Then two fat pigs were slaughtered directly, but only bones were taken, fat intestines and blood were strong, and the rest of the meat was sent to the cement factory as usual, because tomorrow it will be another ten-day cycle, and workers can share the meat for one day off.

In addition, two big roosters and twenty kilograms of soybeans were prepared. The price of soybeans was as follows. Beidou’s rice was currently one cent and two cents, and the county was one cent and three cents, while the city ranged from one cent and four cents to one cent and eight cents. There was still a small gap in prices between urban and rural areas, but it was not as big as later generations.

In addition, the price of corn is about half of rice, currently about six or seven cents per pound, while the price of sweet potatoes is just about one cent and five cents per pound, which is only one tenth of rice. It is said to be one cent and five cents. The price will only be high or not low, and it may even be less than one cent per pound.

Five pounds of sweet potatoes produce one pound of vermicelli, and sell it for 40 cents, which is equivalent to selling one pound of sweet potatoes for eight cents, which is equivalent to adding the value of sweet potatoes by five times. If you count the pulp, it is six times. So the profit of vermicelli is very scary. Thirty years later, better pure sweet potato vermicelli will cost ten yuan per pound, and ordinary low-quality products will cost about seven yuan per pound, and the price of sweet potatoes will increase by about twenty times.

I shook my head and pulled my thoughts back to the scene. The reason I prepared soybeans was because I wanted to make tofu. It had been slurry early in the morning and was beaten with a sweet potato crusher. It was just a slightly finer sieve. One pound of soybeans can produce seven bowls of old tofu, and about thirty bowls of good soybeans. Later generations, one pound of soybeans costs about three yuan, and one bowl of soybeans costs one yuan. By doing this, you will know that the profit of soybeans is actually very scary.

After the soybeans are made into slurry, they filtered out the bean dregs directly in the vermicelli field. The same method is to filter the sweet potato dregs. Now that the soybeans are ripe one after another, Fang Dajun is preparing to purchase them in large quantities to process them into tofu. As a dish for workers, they can also be processed into soy milk. Drink coldly in summer to quench thirst and warm up in winter. If you can't finish it, the workers can take them home. Tofu is also a common dish for every household. It has been used to be old and is considered a hard dish.

Because soybeans do not have to be purchased, the Beidou area can acquire a lot, which is enough for workers to need a year.

Before dawn, he asked the workers to set up a big pot. The bottom of the seat was a giant honeycomb coal stove. Three pieces of honeycomb coal can be stored on one layer. A total of twelve pieces can be stored in the stove. The stove can be stored at most four pieces of stoves in ordinary families can meet daily life needs.

There is also a super giant, which can store twenty pieces of honeycomb coal at a time and the furnace is super large. This is specially designed to handle the table. Its firepower is very domineering and can completely defeat liquefied gas. Of course, the firepower of natural gas is also very large.

As soon as the twelve pieces of honeycomb coal were lit, the flame was very pleasant. On it was a large pot, which was very large. It was left in the cafeteria before. The rust was removed by rubbing it with soaked sand and stones. The pot was filled with clean water, and the fat intestines, two chickens, pig's thigh bones and spine were put into the pot. There was also a large pot next to it, but it was not lit.

After the fatty sausage is cooked, it is taken out of the pot and then cut into small sections. It seems that it has become a temporary kitchen. It is getting darker and the soup in the big pot is almost ready, but the heat is not enough, so you have to boil the chicken until it is broken.

It was exactly eight o'clock in the morning, and the gong, drum and suona team invited was also present, even the oxen lantern performance.

"Huzi, you guys are optimistic. Let's see how I did it today. The day after tomorrow, you will go to Shehong Town to do it, and then scatter it out and go to nearby towns." Fang Dajun told him that he is doing publicity now. Like in later generations, even if the products are wholesale to regional agents, the head office will send sales representatives to do publicity. For example, you often see a certain drink on the street doing promotion. The purpose is not to discuss placing orders, but to cooperate with the agent to do publicity.

Therefore, the sales strategy is not that simple. Even if the honeycomb coal is wholesale, even if the profit has been made, it will also cost manpower and material resources to help promote it. Without it, just because the agent sells well, the head office will naturally make a lot of money. On the other hand, the agent cannot sell it. Even if the head office changes other agents, the situation will be similar. Sometimes, what I compete for in later generations is no longer the quality of the product, but advertising.

As a time traveler, Fang Dajun naturally agrees with this model, so he does not think that everything will be fine just by simply wholesale the product, but needs to cooperate with publicity, just like Pepsi and Delicious, but others are not going to place advertisements and organize personnel to conduct regional promotion on the spot.

"Boss, don't worry, we must learn it with all our hearts." Xiao Zhonghu said with his chest patted. After going out and walking around, his vision was broadened, and he insisted on following the "Boss". Listen to the boss, he would have a good life in the future, otherwise he would just wait to earn work points in hard work. He would not be able to eat enough all year round, and he would not be able to spend a lot of money by the end of the year. Even buying new clothes and buying New Year's goods was difficult. That was not the life he wanted.

Fang Dajun nodded and smiled and said, "The coal used in Beidou Town was sold secretly from our Jiaoshan. Now I have counted it. Including the employees of the unit, there are about 150 street households, of which about 50 are burning coal, and the other 100 are using electricity. Tell me, how many households can be sold to at most? Qin Er, do you also tell me?"

Qin Er thought for a while and replied: "At most, there are one hundred households!"

Xiao Zhonghu was very careful. When he saw that the boss's expression was not happy, he could not answer 100 households, but this was also his answer. He didn't have time to think about it anymore, so he said, "I think it's 150 households."

Fang Dajun was happy and asked, "Hu Zi, tell me the reason?"

Xiao Zhonghu's face turned red, "I'm confused!"

Fang Dajun was speechless and said, "Magnolia, Jinchi, you two can tell me?" However, this temporary stove was also built by Li Zhengyang and his family this morning. Jinchi had retreated from the position of substitute teacher. He arranged for Yang Chuntao to help with statistics. After adapting, he could lead the class later because he planned to hand over the statistics of the cement factory to Jinchi.

The statistician is not a finance, but it involves finance, because he will settle accounts based on the statistics at that time, such as how many raw materials have been purchased, how many workers have taken, etc., he cannot count it himself, so he has to arrange for people who are assured to do it. Jin Chi has a hundred people with confidence.

Jin Chi shook his head and said, "I think it's at most one hundred households. Think about it, it turns out that most of the people who burn coal are local households, not unit buildings. There is a stove in the old house. Coal is only six yuan per ton, and honeycomb coal is forty yuan per ton. If I change it, even if honeycomb coal is more convenient, I will choose coal."

Fang Dajun smiled, but said, "No, the answer is one hundred and fifty households. I'm just asking you the reason now."
