Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2174 Donglai New Year Goods Fair
Ji Zhensheng kept shaking his head to show that he didn't like it. So, while others were feasting on the food, Ji Zhensheng could only eat the vegetarian dumplings obediently and dip them in soy sauce.

At this time, the annual New Year’s Goods Fair has already opened in the Yiyuan Supermarket.

A variety of products from Yuan Yuan Ranch are on the shelves, from vegetables to rice.

This year, basmati rice is the first choice, on par with northeastern rice. Various coarse grains from the west are also on the shelves at this time, and bags of weighed rice are placed in fixed locations with labels, so that customers can take them directly when they come.

Unlike every year, this year people shopping in supermarkets are divided into different groups. The first group of people finish their shopping and come out, and the others are let in to prevent crowds from gathering.

Even so, the Yiyuan Supermarket was crowded with people. Some customers had pre-ordered products. They only had to scan the code and the staff inside would push out the fixed products and load them into the customers' carts.

Braised meat is selling particularly well this year, especially beef and donkey meat from the ranch.

Donkey meat from the west is the most popular this year. Some elderly people grab it with their mobile phones every day and then put it in the refrigerator to eat slowly.

Sales of freshly squeezed juice are also very good. In order to cope with the new situation this year, Yiyuan Supermarket has made preparations for a whole year.

"Because the operating costs are relatively high, even though ordinary people cannot enter the store, our supermarket cannot close, so this year we have adopted unmanned robot procurement activities."

"As long as the customer places an order, our robot will automatically pick up the goods from the warehouse, package them and scan the code! The customer only needs to select the goods. The customer can browse all the goods in our supermarket online without having to come here to buy them."

"There are tens of thousands of products in the supermarket, all of which are sold online. As long as you place an order with your mobile phone, someone will deliver it to your door. If the order is over 100 yuan, we will deliver it for free!"

"The unmanned delivery trucks are at your service 24 hours a day. We will open the mall at fixed times and there will be people on duty 24 hours a day. There is no need to panic..."

The person in charge of Sun Zhengfa sells goods through live broadcasts online. Throughout this year, the supermarket is open most of the time, but customers are not allowed to enter very often.

More often, power outages are carried out in different areas to minimize expenses.

Thanks to Ji Donglai's foresight and active development of online stores and unmanned robot business in recent years, the sales volume of the entire supermarket did not decrease much after the mask incident, but moved from offline to online.

Unmanned robots pick up goods, unmanned robots pack and unmanned delivery are carried out, and customers scan the code to pick up the goods, eliminating any middlemen in the entire process.

Now, Yuanta Supermarket's unmanned delivery vehicles are traveling on the streets every day. The programs are connected to Skynet, and the surrounding monitors and sensors can accurately help the vehicles identify whether there is danger or pedestrians approaching.

The big data of the distribution business is automatically screened, and basically all customers on a route can be picked up by one line. Shipments are also sent out by machines with automatic scanning of codes, without any omissions.

"In terms of driverless cars, Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing is at the forefront. How can we play with this?"

Watching the robots in the online one-dollar supermarket skillfully operate every link, a group of people's eyes were full of worries. Especially those in the same industry, these stores have all started to suffer huge losses this year.

In the past, these supermarkets relied on unlimited overtime for their employees and low wages to seize the market.

Unlike Ji Donglai who forced employees to set aside rest time every week, these people hardly gave employees any time for entertainment. They started work at 8 o'clock, and if they were not at work before 7:30, they would be considered late.

You get off work at nine o'clock in the evening. If you don't clean up the house before leaving, your attendance bonus will be revoked, so many people leave at ten o'clock.

Unlimited exploitation has made these bosses rich, leaving employees with only basic living expenses and time to sleep and eat. Then they say this is a gift. Although the current One Yuan Supermarket is also under lockdown, employees still have basic living expenses.

Some people with skills go directly into the online sales sector, or into the maintenance department of machinery and equipment, or into the unmanned vehicle control environment to prevent accidents.

There are system arrangements for every employee working in the One-Yuan Supermarket. Even those who are at home are doing handicrafts and can also take home project awards.

Unlike every year, this year Yuan Supermarket has acquired a small brewery because it has a lot of brown rice from abroad and coarse grains such as barley from Central Asia.

The first batch of home-brewed beer is now on sale. It comes in white packaging with almost no fancy slogans, just one sentence: Home-brewed in a One Yuan Supermarket.

There are only a few simple ingredients on the ingredient list: brown rice, barley, hops, and water!
Once the product was launched, it was sold out within ten minutes.

"I haven't had such pure beer for many years. This is what beer tastes like. Let me tell you, don't drink too much, your stomach will really swell and you won't be able to pee! I used to pee after drinking beer, but this beer doesn't make any pee. It's thick and it's a bit difficult to wash the cup. People who don't often drink beer, please pay attention. I'm going to buy a second batch. It smells really good..."

The first batch of customers had already started drinking and quickly placed a second order, but the beer was sold out.

Although the small brewery is producing day and night, the supply still cannot meet the demand. "I have tried it too, it is really delicious. The beer in the past was just water with some alcohol added, but this is brewed, and you can taste the difference. When I was in Germany, I tried the fresh beer in the beer can, it tasted like this. They say that no one can guarantee the food safety in China, but this is here, it is really delicious!"

"This beer is good. I haven't had such pure beer in a long time! I will never drink other industrial beers again. This is what people drink..."

Home-brewed beer was pushed to the top of the hot search list by consumers almost overnight. Ji Donglai himself didn't even know it. At home, Ji Sanchuan had a whole barrel of beer placed there, and the whole family could just pour a glass whenever they wanted to drink.

Without the interference of Ji Zhong's family, everyone was very happy, especially Li Xun's parents. It was the first time for them to officially come to Ji Donglai's house in these years.

Feel the strong aroma of incense, especially the big courtyard, which you can't find near the capital, or it's too cold.

Ji Ping is quite busy this year, but luckily his son is back and can help clean up the yard. Ji Zhensheng is the type of person who likes to go home. As long as Ji Donglai gets up in the morning, he can see Ji Zhensheng wearing a hat and running back and forth in the yard, with endless energy.

The two kids in Li Xun's family are much worse than those in Ji Zhensheng's family. They go to bed early and get up late. When Ji Zhensheng is walking around with the food from the kitchen, the two little ones have just gotten up.

"boom!"

Ji Zhensheng took his friends to set off firecrackers again. Now that the children in the village knew that Ji Zhensheng and his friends had come from the city, they also ran here in a hurry, repeating the story of Ji Donglai's youth on this group of young people.

“Are you going out again this year?”

Ji Ping and Ji Donglai were wearing their coats and quietly watching Ji Zhensheng and his gang playing in the yard. Ji Ping asked calmly.

In recent years, the health of Ji Ping and his wife has begun to deteriorate as before, especially the old lady in the family, whose heart has stopped beating several times. Fortunately, it was discovered early, and now there are several ventilators in the house.

"Not necessarily. I'll try not to go out. They can basically handle it with just a few of them. Unless there's something large-scale technology that requires me to coordinate, they can do it."

"I paid them to take care of things. If I were to do it, I wouldn't have to hire them! I just checked with the country in the middle of the year. Maybe the country will have a task for me!"

Speaking of this matter, Ji Donglai wanted to complain.

After checking over and over, many things are now clear, but I still don’t get anything, which is a good point.

Of course, Ji Donglai is also waiting for an opportunity, a time point that can change the direction of the world economy.

It's the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. According to the time of year, Ji Donglai has already left with his family. This year, Ji Donglai shows no sign of leaving, and Ji Ping is very happy.

"It's enough to earn enough money to spend. There's no need to keep earning money. If you really need money, we can support you. Zhensheng, stay at home for a while. This kid doesn't like people..."

These days, Ning Caiyun almost always opens her eyes to see the little one from Qiu Haitang's family, and Ji Donglai hardly sees him in a whole day.

Ji Donglai also knew that Ji Ping liked children. A few years ago, when Yang Xue and Youdu's children came over, Ji Ping treated them like babies. Ji Donglai knew what the other party wanted to say, but he did not respond this time.

Ji Donglai is currently asking people to look for the groups of Youdus and Yang Xue, and has not entrusted Lin Shuzhen's group.

Except for Ji Donglai's own people, the rest are almost as bad as Kan Changshun. They dare to sell anything just for the sake of profit.

"When my parents retire, I will live here with Haitang and her family. Yakou Village will be used mainly for office work. Right now, many things in the company still require me. In a few years, I will sell some things!"

Ji Donglai was talking to his father when an email came in. Ji Donglai entered the yard and his heart beat faster five times. He thought to himself that his chance had come.

Since last night, orders for drones from the Middle East have exploded.

All kinds of equipment parts are almost packed in, and the prices are rising again and again. A lot of money flows into Yiyuan Payment through various channels. Although the United States has blocked the channels for Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing, Europe is still calculating the same.

At the same time, various consumables are now also full of orders. All kinds of military-related products in Uzbek factories are fully loaded, especially the aircraft maintenance factory contracted by Ji Donglai, which has begun to resume production at this time, with orders from Moscow.

The orders for various parts of transport planes and fighter jets are now fully booked. Hu Xinyu is also in full health at this time. The other party can't figure out why the company's orders are full at this time.
