Chapter 98
Faced with their suspicion, Secretary Meng's expression was very confused. He opened his mouth and met the suspicious eyes of the two secretaries. They all suspected that he had betrayed them.
But the desserts on the table are real. Just looking at the packaging, you can tell that they are carefully prepared by the Life Food Factory.
The young man who just said that didn't explain at all.
Secretary Meng wanted to speak immediately.
But Lu Qin had already divided the milk among them one by one, and his attitude remained enthusiastic. "Comrades, you can try it now. The quality and taste of Yinghe milk are all this."
He gave a thumbs-up. "Isn't that right, Secretary Meng? Just now you told me that the cows on your dairy farm receive massages. They're happier after a massage and produce higher-quality milk."
Secretary Meng could say no, he was interrupted by him, "Yes."
Director Ren coughed and continued according to Lu Qin's plan. "Everything is ready. Everyone, give it a try."
Secretary Qian tried hard to suppress his emotions and said, "Okay, let's try it first."
There's no rush.
Secretary Zhao also wanted to say something, but when he saw that he was already unpacking the food, he shut up and decided to take a bite first.
It was clearly something delicious, but when they unwrapped it, it looked like they were eating something they found objectionable. The combination of the two was jarring to them.
Director Ren was giving a demonstration at the moment. After opening the package, the aroma of five or six biscuits inside hit me in the face.
Lu Qin glanced at them. They were all freshly baked today. How could they not smell good?
The packaging design resembles canned yogurt from later generations, with a biscuit on top, and a large, opaque soda lid on top of the biscuit. The packaging is completely recyclable. It's like buying one thing and getting two things in one. A truly unique approach.
The factory management staff and the R&D workers all had brilliant minds and imaginations. With Lu Qin's input, they could come up with products that were in line with the times. Just like what was currently on the table.
Director Ren placed the biscuits on the lid, then took a bite of biscuit and a sip of milk. The crispy aroma of the milk combined with the rich fragrance of the milk was a delicacy that could never be compared to pure milk-flavored biscuits. He glanced at Lu Qin from the corner of his eye, and he understood why he used the milk and biscuits example.
Of course, having a full meal does not conflict with having dessert after the meal.
He sat opposite Secretary Qian, eating and drinking at every bite, which made people hungry just by looking at him. Every movement and expression came from his heart.
Secretary Qian and Secretary Zhao looked at each other. They only had opinions about things and people, and they would never have any opinions about delicious food.
So after some hesitation, they followed his example and ate the biscuits first. The biscuits were as crispy and fragrant as ever, followed by the milk. The milk did not have the strong smell they had imagined. Instead, it blended well with the biscuits and had an indescribable delicious taste.
Secretary Meng was born and raised on a farm. He grew up drinking milk and was naturally familiar with the products of his factory. With the first bite, he could clearly feel that it was their Yinghe milk. With the second bite, he felt that something extra was added to the milk because there was a slight deviation in the taste. He looked up quickly and saw that no one noticed him. He suppressed his emotions and took another bite of the biscuit. He paused chewing again and looked at the product in front of him silently.
Lu Qin had been paying attention to everyone's expressions. He felt greedy just watching them, so he silently looked away.
Director Ren ate up all the milk and biscuits without wasting any time. He waited until they were almost done before asking for their opinions. "What do you think of this combination?"
Yes, of course it is. This is what everyone thinks.
The first person to express his opinion was Secretary Meng. He was eager to verify one thing, "You have improved our Yinghe milk."
Director Ren was somewhat surprised that he had discovered this. He admitted, "Yes, this is the responsibility of our production R&D department. Our R&D workers went to the provincial food R&D department for some time to study and research how to extend the storage time of milk. They also conducted experiments after returning, but there are still many shortcomings."
Well, according to Lu Qin's idea, they also put some edible substances in it to enhance the flavor, fearing that he wouldn't notice it. As of now, Secretary Meng has discovered it.
Since their Lai Fu Food Factory wants to cooperate with others, they have to lower the fishing hook step by step.
Director Ren's words also show that he sincerely wants to discuss cooperation.
Secretary Meng figured out in two seconds why the R&D personnel on their farm did not improve the preservation technology, but instead the technology was improved through them. This was because the levels of the technical personnel varied, and there were always people in the world who were good at this and that.
Isn't what they need technology? At this moment, he couldn't help but feel excited.
Director Ren slowly added, "Our technicians are still conducting relevant research in this area."
There was no mention of cooperation, but the explanation stated that their Life Food Factory was willing and sincere to cooperate.
Secretary Meng was obviously more moved.
Now, after listening to their conversation, Secretary Qian felt that Secretary Meng was really about to be hooked. The remaining few things in his mouth no longer tasted good at all.
He reflected that the two factories had not discussed cooperation before, but now Life Food Factory had unilaterally decided to cooperate with Yinghe Milk. What should they do then?
Secretary Qian couldn't suppress his emotions when he thought about the consequences. If he could think of it, Secretary Zhao, the head of Sanqing Food Factory, could naturally think of it as well.
Lu Qin took their reactions into consideration and silently exchanged glances with Zhou Jun, who was not far away, indicating that they could prepare the next thing.
Since they called three people from their factory, it is impossible to choose only one.
He stepped forward and said, "Secretary Qian, what's wrong? Is it the cookies or the milk that don't suit your taste?"
Lu Qin still felt a little sorry for Comrade Qian.
At once, everyone else turned their attention.
Secretary Qian quickly came to his senses and forced a smile on his face, "It suits my taste."
This is the truth.
Others would be happy after having a delicious lunch, but Yi Wang Shenshen thought that he felt like his lunch was stuck a little lower in his throat, making him feel choked and even more anxious.
Now we have no choice but to open up the topic.
He didn't want to waste food and finished the last few bites. "Director Ren, I want to know what your plans are now."
He finally couldn't hold his breath anymore.
Secretary Zhao said, "The three of us came here today to discuss how to cooperate. Now that we've finished our meal and dessert, can we talk?"
The only person present who was not in a hurry was Secretary Meng.
But Lu Qin started again, "Director, please wait a moment. We haven't finished tasting the dessert yet."
Director Ren clearly knew about this before, but now he pretended not to know. "We'll talk about cooperation later. There's no rush. Let's finish tasting the dessert first. Comrades, please give us some suggestions."
Secretary Qian and Secretary Zhao looked at each other, and the thought in their minds was, what other desserts suddenly came to mind, it wouldn’t be their turn.
Under their expectant yet skeptical eyes.
Another dessert was served, which was a combination of canned fruit and biscuits. The canned fruit and biscuits were of a different kind than the previous ones. One was refreshing and the other had a refreshing fruity fragrance, which just balanced the taste perfectly.
Secretary Qian's brows relaxed.
"This tastes okay. I'll serve another one later." Seeing that Secretary Zhao couldn't hold back any longer, he hurried to explain.
"Of course, I see you guys can't eat any more, so you can just take these desserts and eat them back home."
The small package is a combination of wrapped biscuits and candies, colorful and neatly arranged, which is pleasing to the eye. It looks like a return gift for someone, and it looks generous. It is a good choice for giving gifts or returning gifts. There is also blank space left on the bag for design.
An hour later, they were sitting in an office specially cleared out by the factory office.
There were three things on the table, all of which were the ones I had just tried.
Secretary Qian, "This"
In the factory director's home turf, Lu Qin took a back seat, occasionally interjecting a few words, like this: "We just voted. Which product pairing do you think is the best? Which one has room for improvement?"
His meaning clearly makes people think more: their Life Food Factory may only choose one from them.
Secretary Qian and the others didn't say anything after hearing this. They all thought that what they had was the best. Their mood suddenly changed, and the cooperative situation was shaky, or had already collapsed.
Zhou Jun intervened, "Let me go first.
After getting permission from Director Ren, he said, "These are preliminary products. There's room for improvement in design, packaging, and promotion. Currently, I'm most optimistic about the milk and biscuit combination. It's both nutritious and filling, combining both deliciousness and satisfies both needs. Of course, we're even more excited about the finished product."
It is not easy for them to make the product like this in such a short time.
Zhou Jun's words sparked deep thought among the three people present. For example, they had investigated whether he represented the factory's views before coming. Zhou Jun had previously served as the factory director's secretary.
Secretary Qian said, "I think our canned food is also okay."
Secretary Zhao said, "Our cookie and candy combination is perfect for giving as a gift."
Lu Qin, "Yes, yes, each has its merits."
Well, it’s the same as not saying anything.
Lu Qin immediately sensed a competitive atmosphere, and they worked together to prove that they were the better ones.
At the appropriate time, Lu Qin commented, "Your products must be excellent and top-notch, otherwise our factory wouldn't have chosen these three from so many."
Director Ren proceeded step by step, "We invited you all here with the intention of collaborating. You see, you can see our sincerity. We've spent the entire morning showing you around our factory. So I believe you can see that what we just showed you are preliminary samples of our collaboration. We just wanted to see if there's any possibility of cooperation."
Secretary Qian always felt something was wrong.
In addition to a sense of urgency of being pushed forward, there is also a sense of guilt that I am not sincere enough.
Things changed from being dominated by them at the beginning to being dominated by Life Food Factory, and the mood changed.
In the corner, Lu Qin handed the materials to Zhou Jun, indicating that he would do it. Zhou Jun made a gesture to indicate that he should follow the previous arrangements.
The situation was almost settled, so Lu Qin personally stepped forward. "Our factory director's arrangements and considerations are as follows. It's too difficult for a single factory director in Sanhe Province to succeed, and it's unknown how long it will take. Moreover, we are all factory workers, brothers and sisters. In the current environment of insufficient supply and demand, it's difficult for everyone to survive. We need to support each other. In this situation, why don't we cooperate with each other and strive for the best together? What do you think?"
The words also take into account benevolence, righteousness and morality.
