"That's a good idea. Currently, the main candied dates on our market are Iraqi candied dates.
It is specially imported from Iraq, and the price is generally between 34 and 35 cents per pound.
If we make candied dates, what advantages do we have over them?"
Director Gong spoke thoughtfully.
Lu Zhiye took a sip to moisten his lips, then said, "First of all, in terms of price, we must be a few cents lower than it.
The second thing is the sweetness. I bought some Iraqi candied dates from a supply and marketing cooperative before. They were so sweet, just like the sweetness of a date that had been soaked in a sugar jar.
Although it is the main source of sugar intake for most ordinary people, they are all stuck together and the supply and marketing cooperatives sell them in batches of one pound.
Many of them are clumped together. If we choose to make candied dates, we must separate them individually.
At that time, we can make suggestions to the supply and marketing cooperatives, and sell them by the piece or by half a pound."
"What about sugar? With Iraqi dates in the lead, we can't add too little sugar.
This is another huge expense. Otherwise, people would not buy this kind of dates if they don’t find them as sweet as the candied dates.”
Director Gong has obviously tasted Iraqi candied dates. Currently, the price of candied dates on the market is basically 84 cents per pound, and most people cannot afford to buy them.
Let’s focus on Iraqi candied dates. Most people prefer the Iraqi candied dates which are so sweet that it makes your throat choke.
"This is the aspect I mentioned to you just now. The sunshine hours in New Province are long, and the sweetness of the jujubes is incomparable to the red dates in the mainland.
This is what I brought this time, you can have a taste. "
As Lu Zhiye spoke, he took out a handful of red dates from his pocket.
Director Gong took a dried red date and put it in his mouth: "Indeed! Then we can reduce the amount of sugar added to the surface.
This greatly reduces costs, which is a good idea.
But since we can think of it, why don’t people in New South Wales consider building such a factory? "
Lu Zhiye chuckled: "Their area is vast and sparsely populated, so they don't dare to make this attempt easily.
They also want us to make a name for ourselves. If we really succeed, they can consider this aspect.”
Liu Qianjin said to Lu Zhiye that they were good brothers.
In fact, he has been plotting against Lu Zhiye.
But how could Lu Zhiye, who had lived for most of his life, not see the twists and turns in his heart?
Just pretend not to see it!!
The more Director Gong listened, the more frightened he became. He was silent for a while before saying, "I need to discuss this matter with Secretary Wang.
The other fruits you brought would be a good choice to be canned.
You did a good job on this mission. I will apply for a subsidy for you later!"
Lu Zhiye smiled and thanked him, scratched his head and said, "Then I'll go home first. I haven't seen the two babies since I came back."
Director Gong waved his hand and said, "Go back. The car is idle at night, so you can drive away.
Just don’t forget to go to work tomorrow morning.”
Lu Zhiye agreed repeatedly and walked out briskly.
As soon as I walked out of the office, I ran into Chen Weiqiang.
Chen Weiqiang watched him walk towards the truck, his eyes rolled, and he quickly followed him: “Comrade Xiao Lu, wait for me.
I see you're driving your truck home, right? Can you give me a ride?
It’s so dark here, it takes me a long time to walk home.”
Lu Zhiye did not refuse. He could see that Chen Weiqiang was trying to show goodwill.
After asking for the location, he stepped on the accelerator and drove out.
Chen Weiqiang sat comfortably in the passenger seat, sighing contentedly.
Lu Zhiye asked casually, "Director Gong has arranged for you to do your job, is it okay for you to leave the factory like this?"
Chen Weiqiang waved his hand and said complacently: "When the leader speaks, my speed is amazing.
I arranged Sister Zhao from before to stay in a four-person room.
There are also three unmarried girls in there, and they are all easy to talk to.
A little girl said she wanted to stay with her for one night, and Sister Zhao agreed.
As Chen Weiqiang was talking, a sour feeling rose from his throat: "You see, it's true that comparing yourself to others can make you angry.
I begged and pleaded with everyone to get this job, but look at him, he just ended up with a temporary job.
Oh! What a good fortune! "
Lu Zhiye smiled and said, "That depends on how efficient she is at work. What if she is lazy and doesn't work hard?
We don’t need to tell you that Director Gong can’t tolerate her.”
His casual words were taken to heart by Chen Weiqiang!
From that day on, whenever he had nothing to do, he would go to see how Anping was working.
Over time, I discovered that Anping was also able to tinker with a lot of traditional Chinese food, so I quickly went to tell Director Gong about it.
In this way, Anping appeared in front of the leader in another identity.
He embarked on the road to success without even needing Lu Zhiye's introduction.
Therefore, Director Gong felt that Anping was simply a god sent by God to help him!
Of course, this is all later.
Chen Weiqiang's home was on the edge of the commune, so it didn't take long to get there.
Lu Zhiye took out two large handfuls of red dates from the snakeskin bag on the back seat and said, "Comrade Chen, I specially exchanged these with the fellow villagers over there.
Take it back home and give it to your children to sweeten their mouths."
Chen Weiqiang's hands were shaking with excitement: "Oh my, how can I be so embarrassed?
You can take it back and give it to your family. I am so embarrassed for what you have done."
Lu Zhiye's mouth twitched, feeling that these people's excuses were too perfunctory.
