“I did it!” Vice President Ding stepped forward and said, “I ate all the instant noodles produced by those companies, and at the same time, I did a lot of design work on the packaging, calculated the profits, and conducted thorough market research.”
"After investigating for so long, damn it, where's the seasoning packet?" Lu Feng shouted at Vice President Ding, "You're just following behind them, what can you learn? Can you overtake them? We need to send a team to the place of origin for in-depth learning."
"All marketing is a prelude to the product. Everything you do is to get consumers to see the product and then buy it. If consumers see this thing and think, 'What is this? If I were to buy this from a convenience store, I'd throw it in your face, okay?'"
Vice President Ding was somewhat unconvinced and immediately launched into a tirade against himself, saying, "You talk so much, why don't you make one yourself? Anyone can talk."
Director Li and his team were busy making instant noodles, and the aluminum basins were already covered with lids.
"Increase the seasoning packet size and increase the quantity to 500 grams. Also, establish a foothold in niche markets beforehand, such as instant noodles, boiled noodles, and crispy noodles. You need to tell consumers that this noodle tastes better soaked, and that noodle tastes better boiled. For any company and any product, the key to success is market segmentation." Lu Feng looked at Zhu Lidong and asked, "Understand?"
"I'll definitely think about it carefully!"
The noodles were ready, and everyone picked up their bowls and chopsticks to start slurping them. The office was filled with the sound of slurping noodles. Lu Feng ate his instant noodles and felt that the difference between now and twenty years later was still very large.
After finishing his meal, Lu Feng savored the taste of instant noodles and drank a bowl of soup. It was indeed not very healthy, but he really craved it after not eating it for a while.
"Now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, let's go to the workshop to work on new products." Lu Feng stood up and said, "Let's go!"
Vice President Ding glanced at the time; it was already 8 PM. Should they go research the new products now?
"It's getting late, let's talk about it tomorrow," Vice President Ding couldn't help but say.
"It's alright, we should have figured it out before midnight." Lu Feng pushed open the door and walked out, with Gao Zhiwei following closely behind.
Before twelve o'clock?
Four hours?
Vice President Ding was a little slow to react. A product requires at least several months of testing by the R&D department. To be on the safe side, they test various flavors. And Lu Feng only had four hours for that?
The workers had already gone home, and the workshop was empty. When Lu Feng arrived at the instant noodle production line, he glanced at the raw materials and asked Factory Manager Li, "Could these noodles be a little crispier?"
"That's fine, just fry it a few more times and use a few different ingredients." Factory Manager Li called out to the workers beside him, and the machine started up.
"Make all the different types of biscuits and crispy cookies first," Lu Feng instructed.
The machine quickly produced a large pile of crispy pancakes, still steaming hot. Lu Feng looked at everyone and said, "Eat!!!"
He took the lead and picked up a piece to eat with a crunching sound. A little while later, he ate the second kind. Director Li chewed on the noodle and secretly regretted that he should have eaten one less bowl of instant noodles.
There were five or six kinds of crispy noodles. After Lu Feng finished eating, he felt that one of them was quite good, somewhat similar to the popular Laoxiang crispy noodles of later generations. He picked up the noodle cake and asked, "Do you have any chocolate here?"
"There's chocolate in the warehouse."
"Try coating this pancake with chocolate," Lu Feng said to Director Li.
After a short while, they coated the flatbread with chocolate and started eating again. Director Li couldn't eat anymore; he could only chew it but couldn't swallow it.
Four hours of eating almost made these people vomit.
Lu Feng adjusted the recipe several times and found the best flavor. What he wanted to make was a chocolate instant noodle and a spicy crispy noodle.
"Okay, these are the two. Write down the frying time and ingredients for these two products, and then calculate the cost for me." Lu Feng looked at everyone and said, "It's getting late, everyone should get some rest. We'll continue working tomorrow and try to get the products in production at all the factories before Chinese New Year's Eve."
Lu Feng walked towards the workshop exit, then suddenly stopped and said, "By the way, we're having a morning meeting at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, and I don't want anyone to be late."
"Eight o'clock?" Vice President Ding was a little unhappy. He was the one who told others what time the meeting would be, but now he was being told what to do. He turned to Gao Zhiwei and said, "President Gao, if this matter is messed up..."
"I take full responsibility!!"
After Gao Zhiwei finished speaking, he strode out. As long as Lu Feng was there, he felt like he had found his backbone. As long as Lu Feng was there, Gao Zhiwei was fearless.
Even if Lu Feng said tomorrow that he was going to take down Wall Street, Gao Zhiwei would follow without hesitation!
