"Okay, sister-in-law, if you agree, I'll tell my godmother. After all, it's not my own business, so I have to tell her first."
Sister-in-law Yu nodded repeatedly, sincerely taking Chu Yu's hand. "Chu Yu, thank you so much for helping me. You said you'd give me the recipe for free. You're so kind to me, I don't know what to do!"
Chu Yu laughed and patted her hand. "Sister-in-law, don't say that. If you really think this is a lot of money, then help make the taste better. After all, the most important thing in the food business is the taste. If the taste is good, then Godmother's chili sauce can be made well."
Knowing that Sister-in-law Yu had agreed, Shen Jun began preparing to open a chili sauce factory.
The key to business is quality, not quantity. Didn't we have a well-known chili sauce brand in our past life?
Sister Yu's chili sauce is so delicious that everyone who has tried it raves about it. The fact that everyone loves it shows that its flavor is widely accepted.
There's nothing to worry about with Shen Jun running a chili sauce business.
Chu Yu was worried that Shen Jun might be short of money while running her chili sauce business, so she wanted to give her some money. When Shen Jun heard that her daughter wanted to give her money, she almost laughed.
“Mom can’t possibly not have this much money? It’s just that the equipment and factory need money, the rest are small amounts, your mom can afford it.”
"Mom, please don't be so polite with me."
Shen Jun smiled, patted Chu Yu's forehead, and said gently, "My daughter has grown up and can take care of her mother and the people around her. Mom really doesn't lack money. In fact, Mom can save a lot of money for you. Mom just wants her daughter to be happy, and that makes Mom happy."
Chu Yu smiled. That's why she's so lucky! Both her mothers are so wonderful.
Upon learning that Shen Jun was going to open a chili sauce factory, Shu Hui and Deng Fangping both helped her find a storefront. The three of them were of similar age, all in the catering business, and all close to Chu Yu. They often went shopping together, and had a good relationship.
Deng Fangping suggested finding several addresses, and the group went to check them out together. They also inquired about the equipment and procedures needed to set up the factory and helped Shen Jun with the preparations.
Shen Jun hadn't expected the two of them to have so much fun. She also felt that there was strength in numbers. Sometimes when she did things on her own, she always felt hesitant and timid, her thoughts were chaotic, and she didn't know where to start.
With help from others, the situation is much better.
The domestic video equipment needs to be imported from Shenzhen. Shen Jun needs to find a factory, decorate it, and then complete the necessary procedures.
Chu Yu asked Mi Fei to help with the paperwork, and it was completed quickly. Finding a factory wasn't difficult either; there were still plenty of empty houses these days. Chen Jun found a factory near the compound, an old building belonging to an old state-owned enterprise, which was currently vacant and being rented out.
Shen Jun went to the housing management bureau to complete the formalities and rented the house at a very low price.
Next came the decoration and formula preparation, none of which posed a challenge for Shen Jun.
Chu Jiali is now a chain operation, and each store has its own store manager. There is a competition system among the store managers. No one wants their store to have the lowest sales, so they all try their best to improve the quality. The store managers also come up with various ways to attract customers and try to make their stores unique.
Chu Chia-li has been very stable and has always had a good reputation, so Shen Chun doesn't need to do everything herself and can focus on the food factory.
"Mom, making food is also very tiring. We'll need to hire more workers and make sure you draft a confidentiality agreement."
"Don't worry, Mom knows what she's doing. Even if there's a leak, it won't be a big problem."
Shen Jun figured it out: was it really impossible to make the Coca-Cola formula?
The problem is that even if you steal someone else's formula, it won't be of any use. Your equipment can't match their scale, your production volume is insufficient, and your production costs will be very high. Even if you steal the exact same formula, will it really be useful?
Even if someone steals Shen Jun's recipe, or someone in the factory leaks the secret, the taste of those people may not be as good as Shen Jun's. Even if they could make it taste good, without the investment and scale, she wouldn't be able to reduce her costs!
Imagine this: Shen Jun sells a jar of chili sauce for 50 cents or a dollar, but someone who steals the recipe makes it and sells it for a higher price than Shen Jun. What kind of business is that?
The core reason for the existence of counterfeit products is the price difference.
Without a price difference, who would want counterfeit products? Wouldn't it be better to buy the cheaper genuine product?
Shen Jun's open-mindedness made Chu Yu think it made sense. In fact, Shen Jun had more social experience than Chu Yu, and being older, she was less likely to be fooled. Her process of setting up the factory went quite smoothly.
Qiao Ru's belly gradually grew bigger, and she looked more pregnant than when she went out. Chu Yu hadn't gotten pregnant after getting married, and her sisters-in-law were supposed to urge her to have a baby, but with Zhuo Linmei and Qiao Shanshan ahead of her, even if they urged her, they couldn't get it to her.
Zhuo Linmei and Lin Yang never wanted children. After their marriage, they lived a sweet and happy life. Zhuo Linmei became happier and happier, like a little child, calling Lin Yang "Lin Yang" all day long.
Zhuo Linmei used to have a big eye on her head, which gave people a bad impression. But after marrying Lin Yang, her temper became much gentler, as if she had become a different person.
Everyone has noticed the changes in Zhuo Linmei. Knowing that she and Lin Yang have a good relationship, they often tease her about it.
Zhuo Linmei didn't hide anything and said happily, "Lin Yang doesn't want children, so we'll have children next year."
Lin Yang has an older brother. Since her family doesn't pressure her to have children, her aunts are too embarrassed to do so even if they wanted to. Besides, Zhuo Linmei isn't someone to be trifled with, so they can only turn around and urge Qiao Shanshan instead.
"Shanshan, you've been married for a few months now, haven't you? Qiaoru got pregnant in her second month after getting married, why haven't you had any news yet?"
When the topic of the child came up, Qiao Shanshan felt a little flustered. Her relationship with Wei Mingyuan wasn't exactly good, but Wei Mingyuan was a grown man who would always turn over and look for her at night. Qiao Shanshan used the same tactics she used on Lu Jinwen to deal with Wei Mingyuan, but Wei Mingyuan didn't suffer any losses at all.
He felt that while he might throw a tantrum, the woman was his own, and he could sleep with her whenever he wanted.
The couple had quite a few encounters after their marriage, but Qiao Shanshan had several unfortunate visits, and her belly showed no signs of pregnancy.
"I...I don't know," Qiao Shanshan said in a panic.
Qiao Shanshan didn't know what was wrong with her. She was afraid that she wouldn't get pregnant, so she would put a pillow under her buttocks after each time they had sex, but her belly still didn't move. Wei Mingyuan saw this last time and thought it was strange. He said it was normal not to get pregnant right after getting married and told her not to be so neurotic.
Only Qiao Shanshan herself knows that she never had children after marrying Lu Jinwen in her previous life. If she can't have children with Wei Mingyuan, will Wei's mother forgive her? Will she be able to continue living her life?
If Qiao Shanshan were Chu Yu, she should give up her fantasies about men and focus on making money. But Qiao Shanshan is not Chu Yu; she traveled from the late 1990s. In the late 1990s, even in Beijing, houses weren't cheap.
In the middle of the crisis, housing prices plummeted, and many people who invested in real estate lost money. In Qiao Shanshan's mind, buying a house was a bad idea; it was bound to bring bad luck. She believed that the government should control the real estate market and that everyone should keep their money in their own hands instead of investing in real estate.
Therefore, Qiao Shanshan thought Sister Yu was foolish. How could Sister Yu be fooled by Chu Yu into buying a house, especially with a loan? Buying a house with a loan is like borrowing money from the bank, and you have to pay it back every month. That would be too much of a loss!
