Jia Yapeng was right. When he returned to the factory, the entire Daqian Food Factory was about to go crazy. Everyone's eyes were red, as if they wanted to eat someone.
It couldn't be helped. After all, the food factory's orders had soared by four million overnight. This was something that the Daqian Food Factory, which only had one production line, couldn't bear.
Jia Yapeng had expected this day to come. He had started to prepare the goods early, so the production line, which originally had a maximum monthly output of one hundred thousand boxes, was able to produce three hundred thousand boxes per month.
The direct consequence of this was that 500,000 boxes of goods were piled up in the warehouse and could not be released. At first, these idiots made the workers and management in the factory worried. They felt that their little boss was too full of himself. If these 500,000 boxes of goods were ruined in his hands, then the good situation that they had finally ushered in with great difficulty would be all over.
Therefore, for a while, the factory was quite critical of their little boss. They thought that he was simply too arrogant and stupid.
But today, no one said such things. It wasn't that they didn't have the guts to say it, but that they didn't have the strength to say it. Since Saturday, the entire factory had completely entered a state of madness. Everyone's sleep time was no more than four hours a day.
Because the original production line couldn't be stopped, and the other three production lines had been assembled, Jia Yapeng didn't even allow a trial run. He directly forced them to run at full capacity.
Therefore, the workers, who had been properly arranged in three shifts, found that they had to work more than sixteen hours a day. Although Jia Yapeng had urgently recruited a group of new employees last month, these employees had no experience at all. They had to be led by about half of the old employees.
Therefore, these old employees' eyes were all red, and they were mentally exhausted.
However, they were still excited because Jia Yapeng was willing to pay. Jia Yapeng announced on the spot that for the next few days of overtime, they would be paid five yuan per hour.
If they worked overtime for eight hours a day, they would be able to earn 40 yuan a day. In ten days, they would be able to earn 400 yuan, which was equivalent to three months' salary under normal circumstances. How could these workers complain? Although they were mentally exhausted, they still wished they could work overtime every day.
At the same time, Jia Yapeng also set an example by accompanying all the employees to work overtime. This made everyone speechless.
Jia Yapeng thought that he had calculated everything perfectly, but he didn't expect that he would miscalculate in the end.
Jia Yapeng thought that 4 million orders a month would be his limit. As long as he could get through this month and wait for all the workers to be familiar with the job, he would be done.
However, it turned out that Jia Yapeng was wrong. He had miscalculated the enthusiasm of the "Water Margin Heroes" cartoon. At the same time, he had also miscalculated the enthusiasm of the children towards the Water Margin Hero card.
The influence of animation was too great.
Because of the unimaginable perfection of that era, the imaginative future scenes, the climax of the plot, the huge influence of CCTV, and most importantly, the support of the teachers and parents!
Yes, that's right. The teachers and parents were very supportive of the cartoon.
The teachers supported this animation for two reasons. Firstly, there was a document from the higher-ups that required the promotion of outstanding domestic animation. Secondly, this animation was based on the story of Water Margin. The teachers felt that it would help improve the children's reading and language grades, so they supported it.
Anyway, good children would watch cartoons, so they might as well watch cartoons that could improve their grades.
Just like the Haier Brothers that was broadcast in 1996, the Haier Brothers became a legend in domestic animation mainly because of the teachers' recommendation. The teachers said that watching this cartoon would allow one to learn a lot of useful knowledge, so it instantly became popular all over the country.
It was worth mentioning that Haier Electronics was originally a small electrical appliance brand in Hua Xia. After the Haier Brothers became popular, Haier Electronics became famous and became the biggest electrical appliance brand in Hua Xia. This was also the most obvious example of animation driving brand sales.
Then, this example was used by Jia Yapeng.
The parents recommended it because it was a cartoon that parents and children could sit together and watch together.
Most parents were against their children watching cartoons because they felt that cartoons would spoil their eyes and affect their studies.
If you believed that, you would be a child.
The real reason for this was that the parents themselves didn't like watching cartoons.
Children liked to watch TV, but adults liked it even more. But there was only one TV at home, and after showing cartoons, they could not show other programs. This became an irreconcilable contradiction.
Most of the cartoons were childish, and there were a lot of illogical things in them. To the parents, it was an insult to their IQ.
When some people read novels on Qidian, they couldn't help but post articles and scold them when they read passages that insulted their IQ, not to mention those cartoons that were too childish. Why would parents like to watch cartoons like these?
But as parents, they did not have the face to snatch the TV from their children.
Thus, reasons such as watching TV would spoil their eyes, or affect their studies, or that cartoons would lead to brain damage, popped up and became the best excuse for the parents to deprive their children of the right to watch cartoons.
When the children were chased off to study, they could watch TV happily.
The plan worked!
But if there was such a cartoon that not only could get the children to like it, but it could also make the parents feel that it was very good. It was filled with a kind of imagination of the future and science fiction, then such a cartoon would naturally not be opposed by the parents. In fact, it would even receive the parents' full support.
The parents would not have the face to take the initiative to watch cartoons, so their only chance to watch cartoons was to take a few casual glances when their children were watching cartoons.
And the parents' support had an extremely important advantage, and that was money.
Cartoons were cartoons, but if they wanted to convert them into purchasing power, they needed real money.
The children might have some New Year's money and pocket money, but it was certainly not enough. At the same time, buying too many crispy noodle snacks would also be opposed by the parents.
And when the parents also fell into the trap, they would not be too opposed to the children buying crispy noodle snacks, and some parents would even secretly give money to their children. When the children bought back the Water Margin Hero Card and there was no one in the house, some childish parents would even pick up the card and call out "Summon Lu Junyi" in the cartoon.
All in all, the broadcast of "Water Margin Heroes" had the support of the right time, place, and people, so its effect was explosive.
And it was not just for a short period of time. After a long time, not only did the sales not decline, but there was a crazy shortage trend all over the country. Some small stores managed to get one or two boxes of crispy noodle snacks, but they were all snatched up by the children in less than two minutes.
By the time the eighth episode of the cartoon was broadcast, which was a month later, the whole Daqian company worked overtime to produce four million boxes of crispy noodle snacks, making up for all the orders they had made a month ago.
But at this time, the new orders had piled up to more than eight million boxes. And it was said that some of the distributors who had been sent out before were so blocked by the merchants that they could not return to their stores. They could only hide in the hotel and count their money. It was a terrible sight to behold!
Fortunately, before the broadcast of the cartoon, Jia Yapeng had assigned the remaining distributors in Xijiang Province to the more remote provinces that did not have distributors yet.
These distributors had gotten a bargain. They didn't have to work hard for three months to set up markets in other provinces. Moreover, Jia Yapeng had given each of them 50,000 yuan as an activity fund and told them to set up the branch as soon as possible.
However, these branches in other provinces all belonged directly to Jia Yapeng. These distributors could only be employees of Jia Yapeng's company, and did not enjoy the privileges of some distributors.
They had no choice. Before the fruit was ripe, they did not fight for the opportunity. Now that the fruit was ripe, they naturally did not have a share of the opportunity. But even so, these distributors who were scattered all over the country were able to earn a far higher income than ordinary people. Moreover, Jia Yapeng had also given them tasks. As long as they could complete the tasks, they would be able to receive even more generous bonuses.
In any case, as Jia Yapeng continued to expand the market, the Daqian food factory was destined to be so busy in the first half of 1991 that they did not even have a minute of rest.
