1987: Sleepless Tonight

"At least another 2000 bottles have to be brought over." Huang Minghua said, "The communities in our area are quite dense, with a lot of people, and some communities even have two or three canteens, and many factories I guess their canteens will also enter Hongyuan Soda, just now the cook in the cafeteria asked me about Hongyuan soda, and it seems that he also wants to buy Hongyuan soda."

Many factories have canteens, where drinks are sold.

"You don't have to think about the canteen of the garment factory. There are Wang Mingde and Wang Hongjiang and his son, and soda is my business. They will definitely not allow Hongyuan soda to enter the canteen." Lu Hao waved his hand, "But other factory canteens do have With this possibility, I’ll drag 2000 bottles of soda over tomorrow.”

What is the demographic dividend?This is the demographic dividend.

Even if a bottle of soda can only earn 5 cents from Huang Minghua, the owner of another canteen, but when there are more people, the quantity will increase. 10 bottles are 5 cents, 100 bottles are 5 cents, and 1000 bottles are 5 yuan.

A canteen sells 30 bottles of soda a day, nearly 900 bottles a month.

If you come to 10 such canteens, that is 9000 bottles of soda, even if you only earn 5% per bottle, you can earn 45 yuan a month!

If there are a little more and the number of canteens is expanded, the number will be even more terrifying!

The same is true for Lu Hao.

However, Lu Hao thinks a little further, and the big money makes a lot of money. This is the reason, but this is just an ideal model, and the business is not so easy to do.

There are some things that are always a little short of the distance and can almost be reached, but it is just a little bit short, just "almost", but it just can't be touched, and it can't be touched to the end no matter what. It is not so enjoyable, which is regrettable.

Now, the residents of several surrounding communities want to buy Hongyuan soda because of the stimulus of 500 yuan for Hongyuan soda, and the owners of the canteens in each community see the business opportunity, so they find Huang Minghua to buy Hongyuan soda.

The amount requested was still quite a lot, Lu Hao only dragged 2000 bottles of soda, it was not enough, and he needed 2000 bottles tomorrow.

According to this trend, it seems that after a long time and the news spreads, 4000 bottles, 8000 bottles, and 16,000 bottles will be sold in the future.

But not to that extent.

This is an ideal situation. The reality is very complicated and there are many obstacles. There are so many soda manufacturers in Jiangcheng, and there are also many soda distributors below. There are conflicts of interest between different brands of soda.

He and Huang Minghua were tied together to sell Hongyuan soda, and other soda sellers must also be tied to soda factories of other brands.

Each has a community of interests, but the object of making money is the same.

There will be contradictions.

If the business reaches a certain level, disputes will inevitably follow. It takes a little effort, some skills, and maybe a little blood to break through this barrier before moving forward.

"There are other small shops coming to me, I will not do business with them alone, but let them find you." Lu Hao looked at Huang Minghua.

Huang Minghua understood everything at once, and was so ecstatic that he almost knelt down for Lu Hao, "Thank you, Boss Lu, for giving me this opportunity."

He really wanted to go up and hug Lu Hao and kiss him.

He knew exactly what this meant, that is to say, the business of Hongyuan soda was handed over to him by Lu Hao. Lu Hao bought soda from the beverage factory, and he bought soda from Lu Hao.

Lu Hao ate meat, and he drank soup!

He never thought about buying soda from a beverage factory, because it would be impractical. He also had this idea when he first started the canteen business, but he experienced some things later, which proved that it had nothing to do with him, and he had no connections. It won't work.

The soft drinks that come out of the beverage factory are controlled by some people. It is very difficult to wholesale from the manufacturer, just like Lu Hao is now. It must have something to do with Lu Hao getting soda from Hongyuan Beverage Factory. He must not go there, but Lu Hao verbally promised him that it would be impossible for anyone else to get soda at Lu Hao's place.

Lu Hao stood inside the gate of wealth, opened the door, and extended his hand to him, willing to give him a hand.

At this moment, Lu Hao's status in his family rose sharply, almost equal to his wife's!

"I'll do business for you, but the quality of the soda you wholesale to others must be guaranteed, and you have to manage them. If something happens, I won't find anyone else, but you." Lu Hao said.

"Don't worry, Boss Lu, that's for sure." Huang Minghua knew it in his heart.

He still plans to drink this soup forever, and he will definitely pay attention to it.

He went downstairs to work.

On one side, the little widow passed by with an ash bucket filled with garbage, so she went downstairs to take out the garbage.

The ash bucket is the bucket used by masons to hold cement in the walls. Many people use this bucket as a trash can or a urine bucket.

Lu Hao walked over and threw the melon rind in his hand into the ash bucket, "Wait for me for a while."

"Oh." Chen Linjiao responded, and stood obediently.

Lu Hao went back to the house, put away some melon rinds on the table, took another piece of watermelon and went out, threw the melon rind into the gray bucket, and handed the watermelon to the little widow.

Chen Linjiao wanted to refuse, but he blocked her directly, "Don't talk, eat."

The little widow could only oh, oh twice, before she could refuse, she went downstairs like a doormat.

Back in the room, within 2 minutes of sitting down, the lights went out, the air conditioner creaked, and even the TV was also turned off.

power cut.

Nini ran over quickly and pressed the switch of the TV, otherwise the TV would automatically turn on when the call came later, it was fine if she was at home, but it would keep playing when she was not at home.

The movements are proficient, and they have obviously experienced it many times.

"It's disgusting. I was looking happy, but suddenly the power went out." Nini looked at Lu Hao in frustration, "Dad, why is the power always cut off?"

Father is like a superman, he can solve everything and know everything.

"The line is too old." Lu Hao said.

This matter cannot be solved in a short while, even if all the lines in the community are replaced, it is useless, because the lines in the community are still connected to the transformer outside, and the transformer outside is connected to the upper level transformer. There are lines connected in the middle, and the only way to solve this problem is to replace all the lines.

In fact, Jiangcheng's power grid has been upgrading and transforming all the time, but it can't keep up with the demand. There is no financial support, so it can only be upgraded and transformed in a limited way, and the transformation is carried out in different regions.

In 1980, the Jiangcheng Power Supply Bureau had more than 6 kilometers of 10 to 700 kV distribution lines, and the total capacity of distribution transformers was 10 kVA, but this amount was not enough. From the second year onwards, the power supply bureau continued to increase Construction and transformation of medium and low voltage distribution networks.

It is a pity that due to limited finances, we can only transform the medium and low voltage distribution networks in one or two districts.

In addition, the economic conditions are going up, the per capita consumption level is also constantly improving, household appliances are slowly entering every household, the power consumption has been rising, and the transformation of the line has been catching up.

The power supply department was also very confused, so they modified the wiring according to the power load of an electric fan in each house. After hard work, it was found that many people had TVs and refrigerators in their homes.

After remodeling the wiring according to the electricity load of each family having a fan, a TV, and a refrigerator, someone installed an air conditioner.

The electricity load is running ahead, and the power supply department is chasing behind.

The lines are old and tripping from time to time is common.

In rainy days, there will be frequent power outages during thunderstorms. On the one hand, lightning strikes, on the other hand, the gates are actively closed to prevent accidents.

I come several times a month, more frequently than my aunt.

It was still early, and the room was stuffy. A family of three went downstairs and wandered around the courtyard of the community. There were already a lot of people gathered below, slippers, vests, and cattail fans.

"Popsicles, popsicles, they're cheap, 4 cents each." Huang Minghua yelled in the canteen.

If there is a power outage, the price of popsicles and ice cream will be reduced. It used to be 8 cents a popsicle, but now it is 4 cents.
