In this era of poor information flow, the advantage is that one's opponents cannot immediately find out one's true strength. The reason why Lu Feng pretends to be a big shot everywhere and deceives people is precisely because of this lack of information flow.
His weakness is also fatal: others can't understand him much, and he can't understand others either. He has no idea about Wahaha's strategic decisions, or even Zong's thoughts and attitudes. It's difficult for him to even read the local newspaper every day.
With the market opening up, a new boom in children's food has arrived, and the factory quickly resumed its production speed. A batch of work uniforms ordered at the end of last year has also been delivered.
The factory finally became more standardized, and its various systems were rapidly improved. Although to ordinary people it was a huge factory with nearly a thousand employees, Lu Feng knew it was too small.
In his previous life, he had visited Foxconn and was horrified by the daily production capacity of that large factory with nearly 100,000 employees.
Everything was proceeding smoothly. Lu Feng had already sensed a sense of crisis and was slowly making adjustments to some departments in the factory. The factory in Baiyuan City had already started operating, but the selection of the factory manager had not yet been decided.
For two days in a row, we've been adjusting the recipe. If we want our canned oranges to go the high-end route, they have to taste good, and we need the most advanced production line to make the oranges as soft and tender as steamed egg custard.
There was a bowl of canned goods and a pile of miscellaneous products on the table. All the managers were sitting at the table, looking at these things, and some of them were frowning.
They started tasting the food last year, and it wasn't always delicious; they tried all sorts of strange flavors.
"Are you sure your research department studies food, and not chemical weapons?"
"What kind of talk is that? Sometimes the recipe tastes bad, but no one has ever gotten diarrhea. Our priority is safety. We produce this for children."
"If you fed this stuff to a child, it could make them mute."
"This is delicious. Mr. Lu thought it was pretty good after eating it yesterday."
Seeing that no one was moving, Lu Feng said, "Don't be shy, eat up! Look at you all, you're working, earning money, and you can still eat. How lucky are you? Manager Li, eat!"
Manager Li has officially taken over the position of manager of Da Tou. He has worked in state-owned enterprises for nearly 20 years, mainly dealing with banks. He always felt that he was almost 50 years old and that he had only ever dealt with money in his life. Who would have thought that he would have to do food tasting?
"If all else fails, let's call Datou back. I think Datou is a pretty honest kid," Manager Li said hesitantly.
"Enough with the nonsense. This canned food is really delicious. Our rule is, if we don't eat it ourselves, how can the customers eat it? No matter which factory it is, if they want to develop a product, they have to eat it themselves first. They won't accept it if they don't eat it until they're sick of it." Lu Feng looked at Manager Li and said, "Why don't you go on a business trip these next couple of days, to Baiyuan City?"
"Mr. Lu, I want to leave now!"
"Stop talking nonsense and eat!"
As the saying goes, it's impossible to please everyone. Some people think a product tastes good, while others think it tastes bad. If you want to make money, you have to make most people think it tastes good, so the taste test is very important.
In any food factory, the employees eat their own products until they're sick of them. Some factories even assign quotas on how much they can eat, and deduct money if they don't finish!
After everyone finished eating, they unanimously agreed that the canned food was delicious, soft and tender, with just the right amount of sweetness. There were also three or four kinds of snacks, and the lollipops were also very good.
Lu Feng was also very satisfied. The reason it tasted so good was because he completely followed the recipe of a best-selling canned food product on the market twenty years later.
"Adjust the recipe again, making several flavors, including more sour and sweet ones, and bring them to me before production begins." Lu Feng finished speaking and looked at Manager Li, saying, "This trip to Baiyuan City is mainly to oversee the finances, to clarify the accounts and everything, to submit monthly reports, and if any discrepancies are found, to investigate immediately..."
As they were talking, the phone rang. Lu Feng answered it and said, "Hello, who is this?"
"Is this Mr. Lu from Jiaming Foods? It's me!"
Lu Feng was a little confused by the voice on the other end, not knowing who it was, and asked, "What is your surname?"
"You really have a bad memory. I'm Wang Tianhui, the one I met at the auction. You even said you wanted me to be the factory manager after the New Year," the other person reminded him.
Lu Feng remembered and said, "How about this, someone from my side will be going over in a few days, and they'll contact you then, okay?"
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Lu, and Happy New Year!"
Lu Feng hung up the phone and said to Manager Li, "Go and contact a man named Wang Tianhui. Give him a chance to investigate him. Also, take the opportunity to reorganize the departments in the factory. Remember, everything is based on performance evaluation. If you don't meet the requirements, you're out."
"OK!"
Lu Feng knew that without internet-based attendance monitoring, he had to fully trust the people around him, even though they seemed obsequious and easy to get along with.
Once there are many branch factories, they can inspect and supervise them, and they will be able to do whatever they want. If these people deceive them or falsify the accounts, it will be very dangerous.
"Mr. Lu, this product requires a new banquet system. When should we start production?" the marketing manager asked.
Are the product trademark registrations and patent applications registered under the company's name? Or...?
"This canned food won't be produced here; it will be produced in a new factory, and the patent will be registered under the company's name. As for the lollipops, they can be produced in our factory. Also, the products for this factory were finalized last year; everything from inexpensive canned food to popsicles and ice cream can be produced. Don't have any reservations. Mr. Gao hasn't returned yet; I'll tell him when he does. Meeting adjourned!"
