"How long do we have left to sign the contract with the supply and marketing cooperative and the department store?" the village accountant thought of something and asked.

Captain Tang waved his hand and said, "Hongguang Commune will not do anything so ugly for the time being."

Although the Zhongxing Non-staple Food Factory is only a township collective enterprise and cannot be compared with the local state-owned factories, the commune cadres such as the commune secretary are not there to eat for free, and the Hongguang Commune cannot openly challenge the food factory.

Moreover, Zhongxing smoked meat and Zhongxing sausage have already delivered a very good performance to the county since they were put into production, and the county will not allow Hongguang Commune to act recklessly.

But what if the products of Hongguang Non-staple Food Factory completely squeeze out the products of Zhongxing Non-staple Food Factory from the market?

This possibility is too great, and judging from various clues, it can almost be said to be certain.

Both of them have set up state-owned factories, and the thigh that Hongguang Commune clings to is definitely stronger than the thigh that Zhongxing Brigade clings to.

Because of this incident, Shen Xiangbei couldn't sleep well for several days.

Shen Ruoqing naturally noticed it as well.

After understanding the whole story, Shen Ruoqing looked at Shen Xiangbei and said, "Because the formulas of the two previous flagship products have been leaked, the factory needs new products now. Fourth brother, do you want me to come up with a new formula?"

Shen Xiangbei shook his head: "Little sister, since you said you would no longer provide the formula to the factory, then I won't force you to give me the formula."

Shen Ruoqing thought for a while and said, "Under the current situation, we can only lower the price of smoked meat and sausages to compete with them. In fact, the profit of smoked meat and sausages is quite large. We set such a high price before to make a quick return on investment. Our factory has advanced equipment, so we may not be defeated in the price war. We also have to develop new products. Although I can't give my formula to the factory, doesn't my sister-in-law have a meat sauce formula in her hand?"

Shen Xiangbei's eyes lit up. How could he have forgotten this?

He stood up and said, "Little sister, you are smart. You are right. I will go to discuss it with my sister-in-law now."

When Shen Xiangbei proposed to buy her meat sauce recipe, Han Guizhi wiped her hands embarrassedly and said, "You can just use it directly. Everyone in our family knows the recipe."

Shen Ruoqing said, "Sister-in-law, it's the factory that needs your formula, not our family members, so we must ask for compensation. Don't even bother discussing it with mom. This formula is yours, so we should discuss how to get paid with you."

Han Guizhi thought for a moment and said, "Little sister, how much do you think my recipe is worth? Should I exchange it for money or something else?"

Shen Ruoqing thought for a while and said, "I think your recipe is worth a thousand yuan. It's up to you whether you want to exchange it for money or something else. After all, it's your recipe. If you want to exchange it, let Fourth Brother go back and discuss it with the brigade cadres to see what price they can offer."

Now that Zhongxing Non-staple Food Factory has met its rival, Captain Tang and his people will take this into consideration and will no longer be stingy and will give a good price.

Han Guizhi felt that Shen Ruoqing was right. Although she did not think her house was worth a thousand yuan, it would be better to see what price the brigade could offer.

Shen Xiangbei went to the factory again with the meat sauce made by Han Guizhi.

The taste of the meat sauce received unanimous praise.

Shen Xiangbei cleared his throat and said, "This meat sauce was made by my sister-in-law. Do you think it's okay? In fact, I suggest that we advertise it in the commune to collect recipes. We can set up a group to taste various formula foods. If there are any good ones, we will spend a lot of money to buy them, so as to expand our products."

In fact, they had this idea a long time ago, but no one had brought it up.

This time, Deputy Captain Qi rarely said no.

Captain Tang made the decision: "I think Director Shen's suggestion is very good, let's do it this way. This meat sauce tastes very good, I think we can buy the recipe."

Everyone discussed the selling price of the meat sauce.

Some people said that they would just give him a job quota, while others said they would give him money. In the end, it was Captain Tang who made the final decision and gave him 1,000 yuan.

Han Guizhi's hands were shaking when she received the 1,000 yuan. It was the first time she received so much money. The 1,000 yuan bills were in a thick stack of 100 bills.

But not long after, I heard Old Mrs. Ji cough.

Han Guizhi calmed down and quickly handed the stack of money back to Old Lady Ji: "Mom, take it."

Old Lady Ji took the money and counted out ten of them: "Keep it well."

This was the first time that Han Guizhi had so much money, and this hundred yuan was all her pocket money.

She felt a little uneasy and said, "Mom, I don't need so much money. How about I just keep ten dollars and return the rest to you."

Old Lady Ji glanced at her and said, "Am I the kind of person who is short-sighted? We agreed to keep 10%, so keep 10%. You can keep this hundred yuan for yourself. Also, if other people can be so capable and earn more, they should also keep 10%."

Only then did Han Guizhi accept the money.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But after receiving the money, she took out five more and put the money in Shen Ruoqing's hand.

"Ruoqing, use these to buy some food. If you hadn't suggested it, I wouldn't have been able to sell this recipe for so much money."

"No, sister-in-law, I don't want it. How can I spend so much money on a little food? Sister-in-law, didn't Shen Yue say she wanted to buy some leather shoes? You can use this money to buy her a pair of leather shoes." Shen Ruoqing was a little helpless. She was the richest person in the family, okay?

"I want to eat mung bean cake, sister-in-law. Since you have made money, just buy me two kilograms of mung bean cake next time." Shen Ruoqing said with a smile.

Seeing that Shen Ruoqing was determined not to accept it, Han had no choice but to take the money back, but she was thinking of exchanging it for something to give to Shen Ruoqing.

Shen Xiangbei sighed: "Although the factory bought the recipe for the meat sauce, we can't rest easy until the traitor is caught. Who knows if the Hongguang Non-staple Food Factory will soon produce the same meat sauce as ours?"

Faced with this question, Shen Ruoqing also remained silent.

She thought for a moment and said, "As long as we are careful, I don't think it will be easy for the traitor to get the formula. Don't tell anyone else about the formula except the main workers."

Shen Xiangbei frowned after hearing this: "Little sister, do you mean to suspect that the person who leaked the formula is one of our internal cadres?"

Shen Ruoqing said: "We don't rule out this possibility. Of course, workers should supervise each other and implement a reward system for reporting. Anyway, we have to keep this formula firmly in our hands."

"I understand. Captain Tang and I have discussed the price issue, and we have decided to reduce the price by 50 cents, to the same price as Hongguang smoked meat." Shen Xiangbei said.

Shen Ruoqing nodded: "That's fine, what about the supply and marketing cooperative and the department store?"

"The problem with the salesperson over there has been solved. Fortunately, we discovered it early. Zhongxing Smoked Meat had already made a name for itself before."
