1987: Sleepless Tonight

"I borrowed it from the old man's beverage factory, and it is temporarily open." Lu Hao said.

"Your father-in-law is so kind. Such a good-looking daughter is married to you, and now I drive the factory car for you." Zhang Zhigang said enviously.

Lu Hao smiled.

This is not entirely true, but it is not entirely wrong either.

Su Xingmin looked down on him at first, because Su Min was determined to marry him, but Su Xingmin respected his daughter's choice, and in this regard, he was already better than many old men.

And this car, it was Wang Guosheng who offered to lend it to him to drive. There should be several reasons. One is to ask him to move the car for fear that it will be damaged. The other is because he sold it when the beverage factory was in trouble. The sale of soft drinks gave the beverage factory a chance to rise. Of course, there must be a factor of the old man's face.

Seeing that the car was driven by Lu Hao, several shop assistants also ran out to watch the excitement, just like watching a Porsche decades later.

Sitting in the office, making a pot of tea, Shi Xiong consciously came in carrying a bag of edamame, and brought three enamel bowls to peel the edamame.

Zhang Zhigang was a little cunning, he wanted to be lazy, but Shi Xiong directly gave him an enamel bowl, leaving him speechless, he couldn't be lazy, he could only put down the tea, and went to peel the edamame together.

One of these two is cunning, the other is straightforward, and they work well together.

"In the past two days, add a shelf next to the cash register." Lu Hao ordered.

"Do you want to put something alone?" Zhang Zhigang asked.

He has a more active mind, and Lu Hao deliberately confessed that he would definitely not be aimless.

"Put some soda on it." Lu Hao nodded, "The shelf should be stronger and the bottom should be fixed, so that it won't be knocked down by a brat. It's no big deal if the soda falls, don't smash people."

At present, soda is packaged in glass bottles or cans. The cost of cans is high and the quantity is relatively small. Most sodas are still in glass bottles, not to look high-end, but because plastic products are still very rare. Even shopping Many people put away plastic bags on purpose and keep them, while glass bottles are simple and low in cost.

Glass bottles are about to fall from high places and hit people, one bag at a time.

"Soda? This is a fresh food supermarket. It doesn't feel right to put soda on it." Zhang Zhigang asked.

"It's a bit inconsistent, but we are only a fresh food supermarket at the moment, not always. The category will definitely expand, and this soda is also a business I invested in. Put it in the supermarket to see the sales situation." Lu Hao said.

The fresh food supermarket is just an initial stage in the process of expanding and strengthening the business. It is certainly impossible to remain just a fresh food supermarket, and eventually it will expand into a department store supermarket with many categories.

Fresh food is one of the many categories, and there are also snacks, clothing, cosmetics, pastries, etc. The area of ​​20000 square meters can’t be wasted. It’s a bit wasteful to only do fresh food.

Put the soda on the cash register side first, it’s not troublesome, and you can also see the effect of this marketing model at a close distance. It’s all an experiment. Anyway, it doesn’t take much space to put a container. When customers come to check out Then maybe buy a bottle of soda.

"Invest in the soda business?" Zhang Zhigang was a little surprised.

Lu Hao actually does other business, but he is delighted. He is Lu Hao's subordinate, and Lu Hao is the boss. The boss has a lot of business. The bigger and stronger he is, the better he can follow. Lu Hao's status has risen, so he can naturally follow. A rising tide lifts all boats.

When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven.

He understands this.

"Okay, no problem, Brother Hao, don't worry, I'll take care of it later." Zhang Zhigang immediately agreed.

5 days passed by in a flash.

On this day, Lu Hao received a call from his father-in-law, "Of the 1,000 million bottles of soda in the warehouse, more than 600 million bottles have been repackaged, and another 10 bottles of soda have been produced on the production line, with awards printed on the caps. Can it be put on the market?"

There are two production lines with an annual output of 1000 million bottles, an average of about 90 bottles per month, and 15 bottles in five days. Although only 10 bottles were produced, 600 million bottles of backlogged soda packaging were replaced.

This labor intensity is very high.

These 10 bottles of newly produced soda, plus the 600 million bottles that have been repackaged, are ready to be mixed together and put on the market.

"Yes." Lu Hao nodded, "I'll also go to the factory now."

At this time, he must go and have a look.

"Don't go to the factory, come to the community to pick me up first, and then go to the factory together." Su Xingmin said.

Lu Hao was a little strange about this request.

The old father-in-law is only a few steps away from the factory, and he would have already passed by when he drove there. Why did he have to go to the community first?

But he didn't think much about it, he just went and turned a corner.

He immediately drove a Dongfeng truck to the old man's community. At the moment, the roads are mostly cement roads and there are few asphalt roads, but there are not many cars on the roads, so there is no traffic jam at all.

The car drove directly into the old man's courtyard.

The horn beeped twice.

After a while, Su Xingmin came down, followed by some people.

Wang Guizhi, Su Yumei, Zhang Yongqiang, Su Jin, and the whole family came down. Lu Hao's eyes suddenly enlarged, and his brother-in-law Su Jiangang was also there.

The people who came here a few times ago were not there, but today they were at home, so they came down with them.

He was a little puzzled, why did so many people come down suddenly?He is definitely not welcome, but he shouldn’t all go to the beverage factory. Su Jiangang didn’t work in the factory. Originally, the father-in-law wanted him to take over the job, but Su Jiangang was pretentious. Working outside is just not willing to take over the job.

Zhang Yongqiang and Su Yumei also did not work in the beverage factory, and Su Jin had just finished the college entrance examination.

The father-in-law Su Xingmin and mother-in-law Wang Guizhi worked in the factory.

"Brother-in-law, it's elder sister, elder brother-in-law, and mom. They don't believe that you can drive a car, so dad asked them to come down and take a look." Su Jin saw Lu Hao's doubts and took the initiative to explain.

She looked at the truck on the side, "You really drove here alone?"

"I see more than them, and you don't believe it either." Lu Hao said, "There is also a Piao who drives the car for me."

Ah Piao?

Su Jin went over curiously, and looked into the cab, "No one, who is Ah Piao?"

"Ah Piao, as the name suggests, is floating in the air without touching the ground, who do you think is it?" Lu Hao said.

He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, gave one to the old man, and threw one to Zhang Yongqiang. He looked at Su Jiangang, "Do you want one?"

"No..." Su Jiangang said 'no', and suddenly caught a glimpse of the Chinese cigarette in Lu Hao's hand, and immediately picked it up again, "You can smoke Zhonghua."

He also smokes, but he is poor. He usually smokes Honghua cigarettes. The worst brand is cheaper than Big Rooster. A pack only costs 1.1 cents.

A stick of Zhonghua is worth the price of a pack, but the sales are not bad.

"Ah, brother-in-law, you are so annoying, I know what Ah Piao means." Suddenly, Su Jin exclaimed.

She reacted.
