In addition, the printing accuracy of the packaging appearance needs to be improved.
Japanese consumers have extremely high expectations for product packaging sophistication, so we need to be able to clearly and delicately present product images and text information, giving people a high-quality visual experience.”
The sales manager nodded repeatedly, impressed by the customer before him. "Mr. Zhao, your suggestions are invaluable! We will definitely feedback them to our technical department and strive to make improvements as soon as possible."
Zhao Xiaohai continued, "When I purchased the equipment this time, I not only valued the equipment itself, but also hoped that your company could provide comprehensive technical training.
After all, even the best equipment won’t perform as well as it should if it’s not operated properly. We need to ensure that operators are proficient in all techniques to ensure the production of high-quality packaging products.”
The sales manager quickly responded, "That's no problem, Mr. Zhao. Our company has professional technicians who can come to your factory and provide your employees with comprehensive technical training until they are proficient."
Zhao Xiaohai smiled with satisfaction: "That's good.
I also hope to improve the automation level of the equipment.
For example, it can realize functions such as automatic counting and automatic detection of packaging defects, which can improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs and errors. "
The sales manager looked embarrassed. "Mr. Zhao, these functions are currently available on some high-end devices on the market, but if our device is to achieve this, it may take some time to develop and modify it."
Zhao Xiaohai thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll purchase a batch of basic equipment first, and you guys should quickly carry out research and development improvements according to my suggestions. If the results are good, I'll purchase more in bulk."
Moreover, once you successfully improve it, the competitiveness of this device in the market will definitely increase significantly, which will also be a good business opportunity for you."
The sales manager's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Mr. Zhao, don't worry, we will definitely speed up the progress. Working with you has really given us a new perspective on product upgrades."
After some discussions, the two sides successfully reached a cooperation agreement.
A big stone in Zhao Xiaohai's heart fell to the ground. The problem of packaging equipment and technical training was solved, and he took another solid step towards the goal of successfully introducing instant noodles into the Japanese market.
After solving the problem of packaging equipment, Zhao Xiaohai's attention immediately focused on the soul of instant noodles - the seasoning packet.
In the 1980s, the formula of each seasoning packet was a core business secret that food companies guarded closely. It was like an indestructible fortress that was difficult to break into from the outside.
However, Zhao Xiaohai was not deterred.
He quickly changed his mind. Since it would be difficult to break through foreign channels in the short term, he turned his attention to domestic channels.
The Food Research Institute of the Agricultural University in Zhongyuan Province is full of hidden talents. The professors there are very capable and will definitely be able to help him in the development of seasoning packages.
Through the lawyer Ren Laotou's extensive network of contacts, Zhao Xiaohai contacted Professor Chen, a professor in the institute who had made great achievements in the field of food seasoning.
The call was connected, and a slightly aged but wise voice came from the receiver.
"Hello, is this Mr. Zhao? Lawyer Ren has already mentioned your case to me." Professor Chen's tone was filled with caution and curiosity.
Zhao Xiaohai quickly said, "Yes, hello, Professor Chen! I'll get straight to the point."
I'm in the instant noodle business and want to expand into the Japanese market, but the recipe for the seasoning packets is a problem. I know you're very knowledgeable in this area, so I'd like to ask for your help in developing and replicating several seasoning packets that are suitable for Japanese tastes."
There was a moment's silence on the other end of the line, and then Professor Chen slowly said, "Mr. Zhao, as you know, although we have made a lot of achievements in the institute, they all belong to the collective. To be honest, those of us who do research don't have a lot of money, and we have always wanted the opportunity to display our talents and do something that truly belongs to us."
Zhao Xiaohai was delighted, knowing there was a chance, and quickly said, "Professor, I understand your thoughts. I will definitely not let you suffer any loss in this cooperation."
I will pay the tens of thousands of dollars of research expenses required for research and development, and as long as the research and development is successful, there will also be generous rewards.
If you can complete it within a month, I will give you an additional 30,000 yuan. The bonus will decrease by 10,000 yuan for each additional month. What do you think?
Professor Chen was obviously moved, and his voice was a little more enthusiastic: "Mr. Zhao, your conditions are very sincere.
To be honest, I've done some research on Japanese food tastes and am confident I can develop a seasoning pack that's suitable for them. It's just that I have to keep it a secret, as I'm still working at a research institute.
Zhao Xiaohai responded quickly: "Don't worry, Professor, we will definitely keep it confidential.
You can use your spare time to work on this project. We will coordinate all communications and handovers through our lawyers to minimize the impact on your work at the institute."
Professor Chen thought for a moment and said firmly, "Okay, Mr. Zhao, I promise you.
I will quickly organize a team to carry out research and development according to your requirements. However, food research and development requires a certain period of time and experimental process, so I can't guarantee that it can be completed within a month, but I will do my best.
Zhao Xiaohai said excitedly, "Professor, thank you so much! As long as you do your best, I believe in your ability. If there is any progress, please feel free to contact me through Lawyer Ren. Let's maintain close communication and strive to develop a satisfactory seasoning package as soon as possible."
"Now we just need to develop the pork bone and seafood flavors first, and we can work on the others slowly. You also know that Japanese people tend to have a light palate, so we must cater to their tastes. If time permits, we can also make these two flavors that suit Chinese tastes, and there will be another reward." Zhao Xiaohai knew that there would always be brave men under great rewards.
