Chapter 130 The Cannery Encounters Problems



Chapter 130 The Cannery Encounters Problems

Upon hearing this, the excitement on the faces of many employees quickly faded.

Hearing his employees say this, Qian Jian smiled and said, "Since I've told you about this, I can guarantee that you'll make this money."

"And you've all misunderstood Boss Liang Ming. He's not the kind of narrow-minded person."

"Besides, all the previous conflicts were due to Director Bai. Now that Director Bai has resigned, there is no direct conflict between Boss Liang and our state-run restaurant."

"Otherwise, where would our state-run restaurants get their mountain and river delicacies?"

Upon hearing this, the restaurant staff all showed a look of surprise and said in unison, "Our restaurant's mountain produce and river delicacies are all provided by Boss Liang?"

They really didn't know about this.

When Qian Jian nodded in agreement, everyone's faces lit up with excitement.

This means they can now legitimately make money from these canned lychees.

"Director Qian, a boss surnamed Liang has come to deliver canned lychees."

At this moment, a new employee ran in from outside and said to Qian Jian.

"Is that Boss Liang? Come with me to greet him!"

Upon hearing this, he called to the hotel workers and left the state-run hotel.

Liang Ming, who was originally waiting at the entrance, was a little nervous when he saw a large group of restaurant workers rushing out:

"Director Qian, what's going on here?"

"Boss Liang, why did you personally deliver the canned lychees? This is such a small matter; your factory staff could have handled it."

Qian Jian held Liang Ming's hand and said with a smile:

"Look, as soon as our restaurant workers heard you were coming, they all said they wanted to come out and greet you, didn't they?"

The restaurant workers around them nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, Boss Liang, good!"

"Boss Liang, you've worked hard!"

At this moment, they regarded Liang Ming as a god of wealth, and everyone treated him with utmost respect.

Seeing the obsequious attitude of these state-run restaurant workers, Liang Ming was somewhat flattered.

The workers in these state-run restaurants are the best at tailoring their service to each customer.

In the past, many households with tens of thousands of members would eat at state-run restaurants, and if they weren't careful, they could be verbally abused by the restaurant workers.

After talking with Qian Jian, Liang Ming finally understood the reason.

It turned out that Qian Jian had told the restaurant workers that Liangji Canned Food Factory would give them a 10-cent reward for every can of fruit they sold.

These restaurant workers are treating Liang Ming like a sugar daddy.

"Director Qian, the 500 cans of lychee preserves are all here. To help your restaurant sell them better, our factory has specially designed a new product. What are your thoughts?"

Although he understood the reason, Liang Ming didn't put on airs. Instead, he pointed to the fruit cans in the back of the truck and said to Qian Jian.

Upon hearing this, Qian Jian also turned to look.

When he saw the lychee canned gift boxes from Liang's Canned Food Factory, his eyes lit up, and he said:

"Boss Liang, did you design this? The intricate gold thread design looks very high-end."

"With this new **, I'm very confident I can sell them all!"

Upon seeing Qian Jian approve of his new gift box design, Liang Ming's lips curled into a slight smile.

This new design has stood the test of time in the gift box market.

It would be a miracle if we didn't take down Qian Jian and his gang.

"Director Qian, since you also think it's fine, then I'll keep these canned lychees and wait for good news."

Liang Ming said with a smile.

Qian Jian nodded and immediately instructed the workers to unload all the canned lychees.

He then led Liang Ming to the hotel director's office.

"Boss Liang, this is the payment for 500 cans of fruit. According to our previous agreement, it's 9 cents per can, which is 450 yuan in total. Please check it."

Qian Jian took out a wad of cash from the safe, counted it, and handed it to Liang Ming.

"No need to count, Director Qian, how could I not trust you?"

After taking the money, Liang Ming stuffed it directly into his waist bag and said with a smile.

When Qian Jian was counting the money, he could see it clearly. Why count it again and add unnecessary steps?

Moreover, by doing this, he could win Qian Jian's favor.

really.

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words of trust, Qian Jian smiled and said:

"Mr. Liang, you are a man of great vision. We should cooperate more in the future."

"Director Qian, you are a senior figure in the catering industry. I should be the one learning from you," Liang Ming said modestly.

The two engaged in mutual flattery, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

In the end, the two even addressed each other as brothers.

"Brother Qian, I'll settle the sales bonus for your restaurant staff's canned fruit next time you place your order?"

Liang Ming said.

"No problem, it's no big deal. This batch of canned lychees will sell out in less than a day. At the latest, our restaurant will get a new batch the day after tomorrow, and we'll settle the bill then."

Qian Jian waved his hand and said.

As they were talking, all the canned lychees on Liang Ming's car were unloaded, and Liang Ming then said goodbye to Qian Jian.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when we left the county-run restaurant.

Liang Ming went to the Liang Hei Ya branch again.

At this moment, there are far fewer customers in front of the braised duck shop.

Seeing that the braised food in the display case was almost sold out, Liang Ming chuckled and asked Qin Fang, "How's business at the store today?"

When Qin Fang saw Liang Ming arrive, her beautiful eyes lit up at first, but then she feigned a resentful expression and said:

"Boss Liang, the opening ceremony of our branch today was disrupted, which has greatly affected our business."

"My original plan was to break 1500 yuan in sales today, but I only broke 1000 yuan!"

Hearing Qin Fang's somewhat Versailles-esque words, Liang Ming was both amused and exasperated.

Today, Liang Hei Ya's branch is having a grand opening sale, with all braised dishes 8% off. Achieving sales of over 1000 yuan is already a very good result.

"Based on this sales trend, it shouldn't be a problem for tomorrow's turnover to exceed 1500 yuan."

Liang Ming said.

Qin Fang nodded as well.

Now that the store has a refrigerator, she's not worried about not being able to sell all the goods; she's just worried about not having enough to sell.

really.

The following evening, news came from Qin Fang that the sales of Liang Heiya branch had exceeded 1500 yuan!

On the third day, it even reached a peak of 1800 yuan.

In the following days, as the opening promotion of Liang Heiya's branch ended, the branch's sales gradually declined and eventually stabilized at 1200 yuan per day.

Liang Ming is already very satisfied with these results.

After all, people's purchasing power is not very high these days, so achieving this sales performance is already quite good.

Meanwhile, at the county-run restaurant, the lychee canned gift boxes quickly gained popularity among its customers.

With the restaurant staff's tireless sales efforts, all 500 cans of lychee preserves were sold out in less than a day.

After Liang Ming settled the first sales bonus, the enthusiasm of the state-run restaurant employees for sales soared even higher.

Qian Jian even placed a contract with Liang Ming to supply 500 cans of lychee preserves per day.

But just then, bad news came from Wang Ren at Liangji Canned Food Factory.

After finding Liang Ming, he said with a bitter face:

"Mr. Liang, our factory's lychee raw materials are almost used up!"

"Our cannery will have to shut down in a few days."

Liang Ming was also taken aback when he heard this news: "The materials are all used up? What happened?"

"Didn't I arrange for Liangjia Village to send 3000 catties of lychees over every day?"
