Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 496 Chairman's Sales Speed
Just as Zhou Yi expected, as the chairman of the board personally brought the products, a large number of people who came to watch the fun quickly gathered around the company's booth.

He struck while the iron was hot: "Yuanxiao, deliver the goods!"

"Yes!"

The angel of death handed over a transparent plastic bag filled with something, with a red samurai crab logo printed on it.

Zhou Yi picked up the bag with both hands and said to the crowd of onlookers with a smile: "Friends, this is the latest jade soup instant noodles developed by our Wasteland Development Company."

"Instant noodles are a convenience food from the ancient times. They are fried dry noodles that can be eaten after soaking in hot water."

Zhou Yi tore open the packaging bag, took the plastic bowl handed to him by Yuanxiao, stuffed the dough into it, poured in the powder bag, poured in the boiling water that had been prepared long ago, and covered it with a plastic lid.

He told the crowd, "My personal experience is that the noodles only need to be soaked for 3 minutes. However, if you have the conditions, you can boil water in a flame cup to make it more flavorful."

"For friends like me who are busy at work, for example, when we are on an airship and have to fly for several hours, or in a car, or on an outing, a pack of instant noodles can quickly solve the problem of hunger."

"This food is clean and hygienic, uses sterile packaging, and is easy to carry. It's produced by our Wasteland Development Company's food factory..."

The further improvement of the jade soup promoted the birth of instant noodles. Mushroom, bean and bone soup alone are no longer enough to meet people's increasingly high requirements for food.

So instant noodles came into being.

This is also an upgrade of existing food by the Ministry of Agriculture.

Minister Zheng Tao, following the example of the Manufacturing Department in opening a garment factory, also applied to Zhou Yi to build a food factory. He invited mechanical and electrical professionals from Recursion City and began to explore the production of industrialized food.

"It's almost time."

Zhou Yi opened the plastic cover, stirred it with the provided plastic fork, picked up the noodles and ate two big mouthfuls, then gave a thumbs up.

"This is the traditional jade soup flavor. In addition, there are two other flavors: sweet and sour and fish noodle soup. You can add any seasonings, meat, vegetables, etc. that you need."

"Now a pack of instant noodles is only 35 mushrooms. Yes, for only 35 mushrooms, you can enjoy noodles made from wheat flour and a broth base with jade broth!"

"For residents of our ordinary market town, the daily food expenditure is about 70 mushrooms. Buying two packs of instant noodles can ensure that they will not go hungry for a day. The calories in them can reach 1800, which is enough for an adult."

"In addition, if you buy 10 packets of instant noodles, we will also give you the instant noodle bowl I am eating noodles in now. It comes with a lid and a fork, which is very convenient and can be reused after washing."

"Now is autumn. If winter comes, we don't have to worry about food reserves if we have instant noodles stored. It can be stored for at least six months."

"Everyone is welcome to try Yuanxiao, Qiansu, and instant noodles for everyone."

"Yes."

The two employees immediately took out the small boxes that had been prepared long ago, made bowls of noodles, and let everyone taste them.

After trying the food, a human businessman said, "The quality of Wasteland Company's products is excellent. I want to order 1 boxes of instant noodles, 5000 boxes each of sweet and sour and fish soup noodles."

"Okay, thank you for your support." Qiansu immediately began to write an order for the other party.

Another sea lord of the Guangna clan pinched a bag of noodles and sighed, "Mr. Zhou is so famous, but he actually condescended to sell these little things. The Wasteland Development Company was able to rise in just a few years and become the giant it is today. Its success is indeed not accidental."

"I'll order 10 pieces from Hualugong!"

"I'll also order 3 pieces."

……

Zhou Yi was a little nervous at first. He had never sold goods before. Although he was cosplaying as a former live-streamer, he didn't know if it would be useful.

Looks ok.

So Zhou Yi continued: "Next, it's this can."

He picked up a tin can from the stock box: "It is also a new product from our company's food factory. There are two types, one is canned luncheon meat, and the other is canned fruit."

"Canned luncheon meat, the main ingredients are beef and fish. The beef is carefully selected from the Songbei area, a source of high-quality milk, and the fish is a large grass carp adopted by a tree monster. The taste is guaranteed, and our employees love it. Our employees are now on business trips and they bring these cans with their meals."

"Canned fruit, including canned oranges and canned pears, are sweet and are the most delicious to eat in the winter when there is a shortage of fruit."

Zhou Yi opened two cans and put the food inside on the prepared plates.

He sliced the luncheon meat with a knife and motioned for everyone to try it.

Actually, the texture of this luncheon meat was different from what Zhou Yi had eaten before; it wasn't as chewy, but it had plenty of meat and plenty of ingredients, and Zheng Tao's taste buds had repeatedly refined the flavor. In this era when the food industry was underdeveloped, there was no comparable product on the market.

After tasting the food, the customers seemed quite satisfied.

"Mr. Zhou, how much is the price?"

"Based on the meat content, the cost should be quite high."

Zhou Yi said: "After all, the main raw material is meat, and we don't have many places that produce meat, so it is a little more expensive than instant noodles. Canned meat costs 180 mushrooms per piece, and the weight of the canned content is 200 grams. Canned fruit costs 100 mushrooms per piece, and the weight of the canned content is 240 grams."

"We use tin packaging. Each can is 20 grams of tin, worth 40 mushrooms. As long as you return the cans intact, we will return 40 mushrooms. In other words, the actual price of canned meat is 140 mushrooms, and the price of canned fruit is 60 mushrooms."

When the price was announced, everyone was shocked.

"I want 1 cans of meat and 5000 cans of fruit."

"I want 2 cans of meat."

"2000 canned fruits please."

"3000 cans of meat!"

"..."

Zhou Yi understood.

People are more enthusiastic about canned food than instant noodles because fruits and meat are still relatively expensive foods everywhere.

Fruits have a short shelf life and a high damage rate, and the cost continues to increase during transportation.

Meat production is less than fruit production. Although there are now refrigerators for preservation, the price of frozen meat remains high due to production issues.

The current price of frozen beef is generally 500 mushrooms per 100 grams, which is more expensive than the same weight of iron.

At the same weight, the price of canned luncheon meat is only 35% of that of frozen meat and it can be eaten right after opening the lid.

Lords in all places have to maintain armies. The elite of the army are light species, enhancers and mechatronic warriors, but the real majority are humans. Including logistics, patrol soldiers, sheriffs, etc., accounting for more than 90% of the number of people.

If they are too weak, they will not be able to maintain basic order or carry out daily training.

Meat is an important logistical resource for maintaining troops.

Merchants were extremely sensitive to price differences and the market, and began to rush to buy.

The company is able to achieve such low prices mainly due to its existing infrastructure and comprehensive supporting facilities. The airship is its own, so the transportation cost is low.

Fruits and fish all come from the Tree Monster Territory, only beef is imported. The employees love to eat meat, so Sand Harbor imports a lot of meat from outside every day. Tin cans are made and provided by the factory in Steel Refining City.

"Bottled drinks will follow."

Zhou Yi picked up another plastic bottle and showed it to everyone.

The plastic wrapping the bottle also had the company's symbol, the Samurai Crab, printed on it, but next to it was a green-haired girl's head, the image of the Fullmetal Alchemist brand, Love.

"This is a joint drink between our food factory and Fullmetal Alchemist. It comes in three flavors: fruit wine, tea, and functional drink. The capacity is 550ml."

“We also recycle plastic bottles.”

"Things like instant noodles, canned food, and drinks can all be brought to Mars, which is very consistent with our Mars immigration project."

“Please feel free to try it.”

Fruit wine, digesting the sour and substandard fruit that the tree monsters couldn't sell, also made alcoholic beverages more affordable for the common people. The price was 30 mushrooms per bottle.

The tea is made from imported tea leaves and is priced at 35 yuan per bottle, the same as instant noodles.

Functional drinks are essentially drinks with a small amount of sage mushroom added to them, which can help refresh the mind and focus the mind. They cost 200 mushrooms per bottle, and because they have certain medicinal properties, they are also the most expensive.

Plastic Island produces recycled plastic products in bulk, ensuring they are harmless to health and at very low prices. Recycling strategies can also reduce unnecessary expenses, allowing existing containers to be disinfected, cleaned, and repaired for reuse.

Fruit wine and functional drinks suddenly received a lot of attention.

Alcohol represents the needs of ordinary people, while functional drinks are supplementary products that can be used by both enhancers and light nano species.

Only bottled tea is rarely popular.

"Energy drinks, 1000 bottles please!"

“Give me 3500 bottles of energy drinks!”

"Give me 1 bottles of energy drinks!"

"3000 bottles of fruit wine!"

……

Seeing everyone's enthusiastic buying, Zhou Yi became even more excited.

He stopped at the booth and pointed to the shoes on his feet.

"Please look at this pair of shoes on my feet. They are work shoes made by our Emerald City Garment Factory. As the name suggests, they are work shoes used to protect every worker."

"For workers like us who dig soot and amber, and work in various mines and factories, having a pair of shoes like this can effectively reduce the risk of foot injuries. It has certain anti-smash, anti-puncture, and anti-slip functions, and is anti-static, insulated, and high-temperature resistant. It was designed and produced by our senior designers, Xiao Tao and Fang Hui."

Zhou Yi gestured with his hands and looked at the increasing number of customers: "In our company, as everyone knows, there are many electrical facilities. With this pair of shoes, static electricity can be effectively reduced and current can be prevented from passing through."

"After our tests, we found that safety shoes can effectively protect our bodies when we are in close contact with electric cats."

“Now it costs only 199 mushrooms.”

"For the price of two of our T-shirts, you can buy a pair of durable shoes like this. Every worker, farmer, and scavenger can afford it. This is also the original intention of our Wasteland Development Company, to make things that everyone can use and afford."

Because labor protection shoes are work tools and are directly compatible with the electric cat system, they immediately ushered in a buying trend.

The main reason is cheap.

"at last."

Zhou Yi paused for a moment and looked around.

Today, the company's booth is packed with people, becoming the absolute center and focus of the entire exhibition.

"Let me introduce to you the company's last new product."

Zhou Yi took a tin box from Qian Su, opened it, and took out a square tin box that looked like a can.

"Please stand aside for a moment. I want to do a little experiment."

Everyone get out of the way.

Zhou Yi put the square box on the ground and took out a plastic remote control.

Press the button.

boom!
The box exploded instantly.

The black smoke and flames radiated over an area of ten meters in diameter, causing a small-scale shock wave.

"This is our new product, the controllable exploding mushroom."

Zhou Yi smoothed his slightly disheveled hair and looked around at everyone. "Its explosive power can reach B-level, and it can be remotely detonated with an electric cat, as long as it is laid within the coverage of the guide net. Whether it is used to blow up mines, destroy and rebuild, or to stop the enemy and build a defense line, it has great practical value."

"Of course, if you don't have a power bank, you can remove the safety lock on the shell and use it as a mine. It will explode if you step on or touch it."

The onlookers stared at the explosion site.

They are all familiar with explosive mushrooms.

Remote detonation that could potentially reach Class B intensity... unheard of.

Zhou Yi smiled slightly: "Its price is 5 light species/piece for C-level and 50 light species/piece for B-level. Currently, 300 pieces of each are limited for sale to the public, first come first served."

After a brief silence, everyone went completely crazy.

"I want all the B-level ones!"

"I want it! I'll take it all!"

"Book me 1000 B-levels!!!"

"I'll raise the price! I'll double the price, all 6000!!!"

The atmosphere at the scene was completely heated up and became hot and noisy.

Zhou Yi was very satisfied with this.

Yeah.

This is what it feels like to have a promotion in a hypermarket.
