Chapter 475 Panic Buying Caused by Compressed Biscuits

The establishment of the food processing factory is very fast, and the green light is also given all the way in the city. The canceled brand here has just come down, and the machine over there has already arrived.

The production factory, Li Mu is still placed in the unfinished building in the Economic Development Zone.

30 tons of food and supplies were donated, and exactly one building was emptied.After the remodeling, starting from the fifth floor, except for a part belonging to employee benefits, such as dormitory, cafeteria, fitness center, library, etc... the remaining [-] floors were used as workshops for food processing factories.

The recruitment of workers was also going smoothly, and the benefits and benefits were very good. With the assistance of the city, everything went very quickly, and everything was done before the next wave of heavy rain.

Then, Li Mu kept hundreds of workers for training and debugging machines, and all the others were on vacation.

There is no way, the heavy rain is coming, except for the thermal power station that is rarely moved to a high place, it can generate electricity normally.Everything else must be closed and waterproofed to avoid long-term repairs after being flooded.

There is no external power supply, and generators alone will not do.Only a few hundred people can be left for training and debugging the machine.When the rain stops, the flood subsides, and the thermal power plant resumes operation, work will resume.

Li Mu estimated that as long as the power system is not completely remodeled and cannot be supplied normally, it will continue to play like this in the future.After working for a period of time, the heavy rain came to stop work and take a holiday for a period of time.

……

The rain ended soon, and the speed of the flood was much faster than before.There are mainly several new rivers. Under the great flood every two or three months, the depth and width of the riverbed are constantly increasing, and the flow is increasing.

The same flood can be discharged in a shorter time.

In May, the factory officially opened to produce compressed biscuits of various flavors, which is also one of the most popular materials at present.Not only is it easy to carry, the weight is sufficient, and the shelf life is also very long.

In this apocalyptic world, food with a longer shelf life is what everyone desires to have.Whether for storage or emergency...

After counting the current materials, the third purchase, he has nearly [-] billion funds in his hands, which is also the largest purchase.

The third purchase, in terms of grain, purchased about 50 tons of wheat, 30 tons of rice, 30 tons of corn, [-] tons of soybeans, and [-] tons of peanuts...

And some cereals.

For example, we purchased [-] tons of mung beans at one time; [-] tons of barley; [-] tons of oats; [-] tons of lotus seeds; [-] tons of lilies; [-] tons of dried dates; [-] tons; [-] tons of chestnuts...

Adding one piece of these, there are also 10,000+ tons.

In terms of meat, bacon, bacon, ham... plus he purchased more than 1 tons.

……

These can be used as raw materials for making compressed biscuits.

For example, making sesame-flavored compressed biscuits, dried dates, chestnuts, lotus seeds, bacon, bacon...

Sweet and salty, compressed biscuits of various tastes and raw materials.

……

After the first batch of compressed biscuits left the factory, there was no need for publicity at all. Li Mu just set up an official website and set up an official flagship store on the largest shopping platform, and the traffic came rushing in.

There is no way, the food everywhere is extremely cherished these days, and they can barely maintain their food and clothing. Who is willing to sell the cherished food.

Most of the items sold online are electronic products, clothes, handicrafts, various heat and heat protection equipment... As for food, except for the weird taste, you can't eat more industrial synthetic food.Other foods are poor and expensive.

Countless people are begging for food online every day. Even if the price is high, not many people are willing to sell it.

As soon as Li Mu's online store opened, it still sold compressed biscuits, a high-calorie food that can be stored for a long time, and it was immediately snapped up.

Although the price is set very high, no matter how high it is, you are afraid of checking the water meter, but you still can't stop everyone's enthusiasm.The first batch of more than 800 tons of compressed biscuits of various flavors was sold out in just eight hours after being put on the shelves.

Countless people who got the news, who were a step late, sighed, and frantically left messages in the store, asking when the next sale will start.

As a small shop without any publicity, Li Mu was also a little surprised that the compressed biscuits sold out so quickly with more than 800 tons, equivalent to more than 80 kilograms.Looking at this momentum, let alone more than 800 tons, even more than 8000 tons are not enough to sell in a day.

Several leading domestic express delivery companies have just resumed the express delivery business in Yunshi, and are worrying about the lack of business volume. They did not expect a large number of businesses to come in.

Li Mu admired these courier companies and courier brothers, just like those workers who rest during the day and work at night.Because the weather is too hot during the day, it is impossible to deliver at all, and the courier brother also works at night, driving a specially modified material delivery vehicle that can withstand high temperatures.

It is said that many large vehicles in China are now undergoing high-temperature refitting one after another.

After all, as the largest industrial country in the world, most of its industrial capacity used to serve foreign countries for foreign trade.Now that foreign trade is gone, even if the production capacity of these industrial equipment is utilized by a fraction, the effect will be extremely terrifying.

Such a powerful industrial production capacity, applied to any field, can produce earth-shaking effects.

All kinds of high-temperature-resistant vehicles, high-temperature-resistant clothing, and high-temperature-resistant equipment... As long as they are developed, the technology is mature, and the industrial capacity is strong, these things can be popularized by the whole people in an instant.

For example, in Yunshi, the modified buses are already on the line. Because the daytime is too hot, there are no residents traveling, so they operate at night, which is said to be very popular.Many shopping malls are also closed during the day and open at night.

There is also photovoltaic solar energy. With the recovery of industrial production capacity, with the strong support of the government, the photovoltaic solar energy industry has soared.Today, the roofs of most residential buildings have been equipped with special solar energy and power storage equipment. Even if there is a power outage, there is still electricity.

Most of the mobile signal towers have also been converted to solar power. The recent two rounds of heavy rain and floods have not affected the normal calls and Internet access of residents.

……

While arranging for workers to deliver goods from the courier company, Li Mu and Wang Qian discussed the next sales issue. Just now, someone from the city said that they had received the news from above.Food can be sold, and it can also relieve everyone's anxiety and save some people's emergency.

However, certain restrictions must be made to prevent a small number of people from buying in large quantities and hoarding, which will increase everyone's anxiety.

Li Mu and Wang Qian discussed for a while. This is indeed a problem. Just now when the more than 800 tons were put on the shelves, someone directly purchased them in units of tons.

Fortunately, when Li Mu heard the news, he immediately limited the purchase amount of a single account to [-] kilograms, which stopped the momentum of being swept away by a few people.

However, now it seems that one hundred kilograms is still a bit much.

Wang Qi said, "Boss, what do you think is the right limit?"

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Or, just ten kilograms! Each account can only place an order of ten kilograms at most at a time."

Wang Qi said: "Ten kilograms at a time, isn't it a bit much?"

Li Mu said: "It's quite a lot! However, the express delivery fee is not cheap now, it is seven or eight times that of before, and we don't offer free shipping either. It's too little for a one-time purchase, which is a bit wasteful."

"Ten kilograms of compressed biscuits are just a big pack, and it will save everyone's courier fees."

Wang Qian said: "This still can't prevent people from hoarding. If someone places an order every day, ten kilograms a day, they can order [-] kilograms in a month, which is a lot!"

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, let's be more ruthless. An account can only place an order once a month."

Wang Qi said: "What if I register more vests or ask someone to borrow an account?"

Li Mu frowned: "Registering vests is not a big problem. Now that the real-name system is implemented, it is enough to limit purchases for different accounts of the same person. It is not possible to find someone to borrow an account."

"However, our original intention is to sell compressed biscuits. If someone spends so much energy and finds someone to borrow an account to buy them, then sell them!"

Wang Qi nodded: "Okay, I understand."

At this point in the conversation, a supervisor suddenly came over with a list and asked, "Mr. Li, these guys, should we deliver the goods to him?"

Li Mu looked at the list, and it was those few who placed the order in units of tons. I have to say that they were really ruthless. There were four orders in total, and they bought more than 20 tons.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's ship it normally! All orders were placed before the purchase restriction measures came out, which is a normal purchase behavior."

……

After the matter was settled, some technical upgrades were carried out on the background. Three days later, Li Mu put 300 tons of compressed biscuits on the shelves at one time, equivalent to [-] million kilograms.

This time, there is still no publicity, and it is silent.It was still noticed by many people who pay attention to the movement of the online store at any time, and the passenger flow flocked to it.

Although the 30kg limit makes many people unhappy.However, more people bought it. Six hours later, 300 people from all over the world bought the [-] million kilograms of compressed biscuits.

This time the commotion was even bigger. Many people who had just heard the news found the store and saw the notice that it was sold out. They could only let out a long sigh with a disheveled face, because they were late.

In order to find out how many people know about this store now, three days later, looking at the finished products produced in the warehouse, they added up to more than 1 tons.

Li Mu hesitated for a moment, and immediately put [-] tons on the shelves. Many people were paying attention to this store, and when they saw the products came out, they immediately started buying them.

Many people who came to this store for the first time saw 1000 million kilograms of compressed biscuits on the shelves, and originally wanted to play with the big ones and empty their bank accounts to sweep the goods.

It's a pity that I didn't know until I placed an order that I can only buy ten kilograms at most.I can only continue to place orders depressedly, ten kilograms of compressed biscuits, in this year, it is also a precious resource.

For others, I had already placed an order a few days ago, and when I saw the compressed biscuits on the shelves, I started to place an order again.Then I found out that I couldn't buy it.Not only can you only buy up to ten kilograms at a time, but you can only buy it once a month.

I can only look depressed, curse, and watch others place orders with envy and hatred.

This time it took even less time. In just three hours, 1000 million kilograms of compressed biscuits were snapped up by 100 million buyers.

Afterwards, this matter quickly made the hot news of the day, and many people knew that there were actually people selling compressed biscuits on the Internet.Although the price is not cheap, but these days, food is the most precious resource, no more than industrial products and electronic products, once the factory opens, you need as much as you want.Before the emergence of new technologies, there was only so much food, and a little less was used, which belonged to the type of price but no market.

Countless customers flocked to Li Mu's self-built official website and the official flagship store on the shopping platform. The traffic was so large that the official website collapsed within a few minutes.Thanks to the enough servers of the shopping platform, the flagship store opened on it is fine.

Countless people sighed when they saw the sold out notice, knowing it was too late, and it was too late.

Seeing the headlines on the Internet, Li Mu understood that in the future, don't play any game of detecting passenger traffic, let alone [-] tons, even [-] tons will be sold out in seconds.

In the past few times, as a small store just launched, not many people knew about it, and the news only slowly spread in one circle. As soon as this news came out, it went out of the circle.I don't know how many potential customers have increased, and how many are on the shelves can't be finished in seconds.

Li Mu had to make a long-term plan.

With the current output of the factory, it can produce 2000 tons per day. In the future, when the workers are familiar with it, and some production capacity is expanded, the output can be increased to more than [-] tons per day.

Li Mu calculated the existing grain and various ingredients and materials, except for those grains and materials stored in Muwu Building that can be stored for a long time, they can't be moved, so they can plan more for the future.

Others, grain and various miscellaneous grain ingredients, add one piece to 95 tons.According to the production rate of more than 2000 tons per day, it can be produced for more than 400 days. Excluding the holiday time due to heavy rain and flood disasters, the grain can be used up in one and a half years.

This is also in line with Li Mu's expectations, not to mention that he had been in this world for three years at that time, he had completed the mission and could go back at any time.A lot of the food he hoarded was not well preserved, and it might go bad if stored for too long. If it is processed into compressed biscuits, it can be stored for a longer period of time.

On the other hand, considering the future situation, after the three-year period expires, the world still hasn't gotten out of the disaster and found a way to survive, so it's impossible for him to just walk away.Anyway, the task is completed, there is no pressure, maybe I will stay for two more years, and try to find a new path.

In this way, all the compressed biscuits produced cannot be sold, and the long flow of water is the kingly way.

For example, 300 tons of compressed biscuits are put on the shelves every day, more than 200 days a year, except for the time of heavy rain and flood discharge, they cannot be sold, and they can be sold normally on more than [-] days, and more than [-] tons can be shipped a year.

A total of 95 tons can be sold for more than four years.Of course, in the future, specific adjustments will be made according to the situation.

If there are no breakthroughs in technology in the next few years, such as crops that can resist drought, high temperature and flood disasters in the research and development; for example, artificial synthetic food that can be produced in large quantities by industrial production methods...

The biggest shortcoming of human beings now is food acquisition. If this is solved, even if the high temperature weather continues, with the industrial strength of human beings and the speed of technological development, it is not a problem to resist and protect against high temperature.

The key is to make new breakthroughs in human food.
