Era: Starting with the struggle to refuse being taken advantage of

Chapter 284 Sales Channels

While clearing away the dishes, Liu Chunhua complained irritably:

"Yesterday's food wasn't good? But I didn't see you eat much less."

Although it gets dark late at this time, it also gets dark quickly.

At this time of day, it's usually almost dark, and Liu Chunhua can only clean the kitchen and dishes in the dark, and even prepare meals for tomorrow.

But today was completely different. The moment she stepped into the kitchen, she heard a click, and everything in front of her lit up, making everything crystal clear.
It was Wang Chengpeng, who followed her into the kitchen, who turned on the light for her.

After placing the bowls and chopsticks on the stove, Wang Chengpeng smiled and helped Liu Chunhua tidy up.

The two were quite capable workers, and in no time they had cleaned the kitchen spotless.

When they came out, they found that soothing music was playing in the living room, and there was a sliced ​​watermelon waiting for them to eat.

Wang Chengpeng picked up a slice of watermelon and took a bite; the sweet juice instantly soothed his soul.

Seeing his father enjoying his meal so much, completely off guard, Wang Chengpeng suddenly asked:
"Dad, do you think the power lines are still properly installed?"

While chewing on the sweet, chilled watermelon, the words almost came out of Wang Tieshan's mouth naturally:

"Great, especially this light, it's so bright at night."

Only after he finished speaking did he realize that he had been tricked by Wang Chengpeng, so he simply stopped pretending and said stiffly:
"If you paid for something, how could it not be good?"

Amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, the summer heat seemed to dissipate considerably, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.

……

Monday, Dapeng Sugar Factory.

Wang Yong sat in his office, piecing together something from the equipment blueprints that Wang Chengpeng had just given him.
After racking his brains for countless hours, he finally managed to cobble together one of the devices.

One person was responsible for crushing the sugar into appropriately sized granules, while the other was responsible for sealing the packaged sugar.

After listening to Wang Chengpeng's words, Wang Yong also had some ideas about building the brand, and even went to customize the packaging.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing on the packaging is the trademark personally designed by Wang Chengpeng, which leaves an extremely deep impression at first glance.

Wang Yong went to the workshop and found some high-quality sugar blocks, then started working on them in his office.

With a crackling sound, the candy was quickly crushed into smaller particles thanks to Wang Yong's powerful effort.

After repeated grinding and cutting, it was finally transformed into fine white sugar granules, which shimmered with golden light under the sunlight, making it extremely beautiful.

Carefully pick up one of the sugar pieces. To the naked eye, it appears crystal clear, pure white, and of extremely high purity.

Wang Yong put the sugar in his mouth and, without even chewing, felt a rich sweetness slowly melt in his mouth, bringing him great pleasure.

So delicious, even better than the top-grade white sugar he had previously bought at the city's supply and marketing cooperative, that Wang Yong unconsciously let out a gasp of surprise:
"Good candy!"

"Only this level of sugar can do justice to my master's training of me."

The powdered sugar was poured into the custom-made packaging through the opening, and then the packaging was placed aside and weighed. It weighed exactly a little over half a pound.

As for why a little more is needed, it's obviously to deduct the gross weight of the packaging.

Moreover, if you encounter a particularly meticulous customer, even a tiny detail like weight can become the key to victory.

The packaged sugar was placed into the packaging machine, and with a gentle press, the final seal was completed.

After shaking it up and down to make sure not a single piece of sugar would leak out, Wang Yong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that the equipment his master had given him was reliable.

After completing the same process, Wang Yong loaded five more bags of sugar and then pushed the machine into the production workshop.

These six bags of sugar are of great significance. Apart from sending one bag to a key figure, the rest can serve as a historical record of the Dapeng Sugar Factory.

Wang Yong could barely contain his smile at the thought that many years from now, someone would point to this sugar and say that it was the excellent sugar made by the first factory director, Wang Yong.

Now that the function of the equipment has been determined, it is time for them to come into play.

The frantic production over the past few days has resulted in the sugar factory having a lot of sugar blocks, and now it's time for them to be put to use.

After a brief demonstration, the workers finally mastered how to use the new machine and instructed one of them to operate it.

As for Wang Yong?

He then returned to his office and began assembling the remaining parts.

Due to their different functions, shredders are clearly needed in greater quantities than packaging machines and are therefore a higher priority for assembly.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, Wang Yong couldn't help but sigh, thinking to himself that things were really tough for him. He was just a street urchin, yet he had to do the work of a high-level worker.

When the factory has money in the future, I must find someone to help assemble or repair the equipment.

But thinking about the problem with the blueprints, Wang Yong sighed again and muttered:
"In order to keep the master's blueprints confidential, we can't ask someone we can't trust to do this."

After thinking about the villagers of Wangjia Village, Wang Yong finally sighed and thought to himself that he had to handle this matter himself.

Wangjia Village is not without capable people, but these people are either not skilled enough or cannot be fully trusted.

Rather than leaving hidden dangers, it's better to work harder yourself.

Thinking of this, Wang Yong murmured, "Master, oh Master, I have always been carrying the burden for you."

"So next time I need something from you, you can't refuse me!"

……

The six bags of white sugar that Wang Yong had packaged were quickly found. As soon as Wang Fucheng learned that there were samples of white sugar, he rushed over, took two of the bags, and hurriedly went to the commune.

These days, if you want to sell things legitimately, you have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Whether the supply and marketing cooperative is willing to accept your offer is another matter entirely.

The village-run enterprise was a major event for the commune. Wang Fucheng felt that since Liu Guodong was about to enjoy the benefits brought by Dapeng Sugar Factory, he should also contribute to this cause.

With the Dapeng Sugar Factory around, Wang Fucheng's influence in the commune has increased considerably; at least he can now easily approach Liu Guodong.

Wang Fucheng placed the white sugar on the table, a broad smile on his face:
"Director Liu, I have lived up to my mission; I have successfully produced this white sugar."

"This is the first batch of white sugar I just got from the factory. It's not even warm yet, but I'm bringing it over to show you."

White sugar is still white sugar, but because it's the most basic kind of white sugar, it's been given a special meaning. Especially after hearing Wang Fucheng say that it was brought here right after production, Liu Guodong smiled extremely happily and picked up the white sugar to examine it.

What struck him first was the thick packaging of the white sugar, and he remarked:
"Old Wang, it seems you really put in some effort. The packaging for this sugar alone must have cost a lot of money, right?"

With a noncommittal smile, Wang Fucheng said, "Isn't good packaging all about ensuring that ordinary people can enjoy the best white sugar?"

"If there's a problem with the packaging, even the best quality might not be preserved."

Nodding in approval, Liu Guodong continued to fiddle with the bag of sugar in his hand. When he turned it over and saw the unique trademark, he exclaimed in surprise:

"Old Wang, this trademark is amazing. This bird is incredible, it looks like it's about to come to life."

Wang Fucheng's voice was perfectly timed as he explained:

"This roc is truly divine. I even hired a top designer specifically to design it, which cost me a considerable sum."

"Things that cost money are good; at least they make people remember our Dapeng Sugar Factory at first glance."

Liu Guodong glanced at Wang Fucheng with surprise, feeling that the other party had much bigger ambitions.

However, considering that the other party was a village under his jurisdiction, and that he would share in the credit, he relaxed and continued his investigation.
"The seal is very tight. I squeezed it just now, and it almost broke open."

"The trademark, the bag, the seal are all external things. What truly tests the strength of your sugar factory is the quality of the sugar."

At this point, Liu Guodong violently tore open a hole, poured some white sugar into it, and tasted it.

Sweet, sweet, sweet and mellow, without a trace of off-flavor.

This time, Liu Guodong was truly shocked and said in surprise:
"This sugar tastes even better than the sugar I bought at the Shanghe City Supply and Marketing Cooperative."

"Old Wang, you've really made some achievements. This sugar factory is quite remarkable."

"I don't think you came to see me today just to show off. If there's anything I can help you with, just say so. With the quality of this sugar, who else would I help if not you?"

Truly good things are hard to be buried, especially when they align with one's own interests.

Liu Guodong now finds Wang Fucheng more and more pleasing to the eye, as if he were admiring a walking achievement, and his attitude has naturally become much more amiable.

Rubbing his hands together, Wang Fucheng said with a smile, "The Dapeng Sugar Factory has achieved its current success, all thanks to Director Liu's excellent leadership."

"You guessed right, I did come here because I need your help with something."

"The sugar has been produced, but if it's not sold and turned into money, it's really just a freebie."

"So I was wondering if Director Liu could help me sell my sugar at the supply and marketing cooperative here."

"It would be even better if we could sell them through the supply and marketing cooperative in Shanghe City."

Liu Guodong hadn't expected that the five-minute call would be about sales channels. After a moment's thought, he beckoned Zhou Zerui in and gave him instructions:
"Old Zhou, this is Wang Fucheng, the director and head of Wangjia Village. You should have dealt with him before."

"He wants to sell the products produced in the village through the supply and marketing cooperative. You should go with him."

At this point, Liu Guodong paused again and said, "Old Wang, this is all I can do to help you."

"I really don't have the ability to help you sell to the supply and marketing cooperative in Shanghe City."

"You know, such a big thing happened in Shanghe City not long ago, and Director Song of the supply and marketing cooperative is not the same as before."

"If you really have an idea, then you have to go and do it yourself."

"However, I think our commune's supply and marketing cooperative alone is enough for you to sell. After all, our commune manages countless people and can consume a lot of white sugar."

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Fucheng ultimately did not refute.

He knew the sugar production of Dapeng Sugar Factory, but others might not believe him if he told them.

Once production explodes, he will use even more sugar to prove to Liu Guodong that the demand from just this one commune is far from enough to meet the output of Dapeng Sugar Factory.

As soon as he stepped out of the office, Zhou Zerui smiled and said to Wang Fucheng:
"Captain Wang, you're really capable. I rarely see Director Liu so eager to assign me tasks."

"Let's go to the nearest supply and marketing cooperative. I'll introduce you and give Director Liu face. But how well the negotiations go depends on your own abilities."

Wang Fucheng nodded. This was why he had also brought a bag of white sugar. If the other party questioned the white sugar from Dapeng Sugar Factory, then it would be time for him to let the facts speak for themselves.

The two walked quickly and soon arrived at the largest supply and marketing cooperative in Hetian Town.

With Zhou Zerui leading the way, the two had no trouble getting there and soon met the director of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Passing Wang Fucheng, Li Dafei extended his hand to Zhou Zerui and said:
"Secretary Zhou, this is a rare guest. What brings you here today?"

After shaking hands, Zhou Zerui deliberately took two steps back, falling behind Wang Fucheng by a full body length, and said with a smile:
"I'm here today on Director Liu's orders to bring our Captain Wang here to promote our goods."

"Speaking of Captain Wang, he is a capable person in our Hetian Town. Only he has the ambition to develop village-run enterprises, and he has actually made a name for himself."

"With a product in hand, sales naturally need to follow suit."

"Director Li is a big shot in charge of our commune's sales. If we don't come to you for this kind of thing, who else can we turn to?"

After a moment's thought, Li Dafei nodded and said, "Since it's Director Liu's business, then it's my duty to help."

At this point, Li Dafei turned to look at Wang Fucheng and said:

"Tell me, what are you planning to sell?"

“If the quantity is right and the quality meets the standards, I will decide and agree to purchase products from your village.”

Smiling, Wang Fucheng handed over the white sugar, saying, "Director Li, this is white sugar produced in our village."

"As for the specific quality, it's not enough for me to just say so. Why don't you check it yourself?"

"If it barely passes the inspection, then we can discuss a suitable price, and that will be the end of it."

With a slight nod, Li Dafei took the sugar from Wang Fucheng's hand.

In fact, he didn't have much affection for Wang Fucheng, who was a person with connections, and he didn't really trust the products he had.

After all, if you have quality products, you can just bring them over to discuss things directly; there's no need to look for connections or channels.

The moment Li Dafei held the bag of sugar in his hand, he felt its different texture, and the next moment, a strange thought arose in his mind:

Judging from the packaging, this bag of sugar looks pretty good.
