Chapter 96
Several staff members in the factory office roughly figured out the meaning of this.
According to the actual situation, regardless of whether it is restricted by transportation, most of the products of Sanhe Province are only famous within the province and have a limited influence. If you talk about canned food outside the province, nine out of ten people will probably ask "Is the canned food of Sanhe Province very famous?" and there is only one person who will remain silent.
Completely different from the watches and bicycles sold in Shanghai, it is an iconic product that is pursued by everyone and known to everyone, young and old.
To put it simply, it has influence, but not enough.
Now let's turn to their Leffe biscuits, which have also gained fame in the last six months. It's a short-lived news that will fade away if you don't grasp it well.
So generally speaking, it is difficult for them to take on the big cake by themselves. Even from a deeper perspective, choosing cooperation is beneficial to their factory. They are not short of technology or production, but what they lack is the market.
In the current national context, every factory is trying hard to survive, and pulling each other apart will only benefit themselves and the country in the end.
Smart people have already thought of this.
But they have no idea how to do it specifically.
After sorting out the long string of words he just said, Director Ren thought again about how he had just taken a sip of milk and a bite of biscuits. He guessed that this talk was also well-aimed. He was now very curious about whether the biscuits and milk he had just eaten were really delicious.
But no matter how curious he was, he couldn't ask him for the bottle he had drunk, so he refused.
Lu Qin stuffed the milk bottle into his trouser pocket, and the right pocket was bulging and stable.
He looked away and said, "Okay, let's end today's meeting here. You can go back and think about the specific plan."
With so many people crammed in there right now, it's definitely hard to come up with a specific plan right now. We'll have to spend more time discussing it later.
Director Ren is inclined to agree with Lu Qin's suggestion.
As soon as the meeting was over, Lu Qin touched the milk bottle in his pocket, but didn't take it out to drink for a while. He just wanted to taste it. Tsk, it was quite sad.
"Lu Qin, please stay for a moment." Director Ren put away the materials and called him.
The people in the factory office worked very quickly and restored the office to its original state in no time.
The phone on the desk rang. Director Ren paused to speak with him and answered the phone. "Hello, yes, this is the Life Food Factory. Yes, OK. I'll check the details. Okay."
He clamped the phone between his ear and shoulder, took out the pen cap and quickly signed his name on the document, doing two things at once.
Lu Qin stood there silently and poured him a glass of water. He was not at all surprised that the factory director answered the phone himself.
Director Ren raised his eyes and caught sight of his movements. The person on the other end of the line was still talking, and he responded, "Okay, thank you for your help."
After hanging up the phone, he pointed to the seat across from him and said, "Take a seat first. Don't be nervous. I want to ask if you have any specific suggestions that you can share with me."
Lu Qin himself wasn't nervous at all. He actually sat down across from him and actually had something to add, "Director, I have a little more to say."
Director Ren knew that he had it and signaled him to tell.
"What I just said are just my superficial thoughts. There's another very important issue, and that's the future direction of product positioning. For example, bicycles are considered luxury goods among daily necessities, so their price is set at that level. Although the production quota is small, they are highly praised by people across the country. So, what will the future direction of our cookies be? We must define it from the beginning, setting a price that the corresponding target audience is willing to pay for. Based on this foundation, if we need to cooperate with others, how to distribute the profits can also be a starting point..."
In short, once the positioning changes, the entire layout must change.
Lu Qin kept talking. A little bit really meant a little bit.
Director Ren's pen left a black stain on the paper, and he squinted his eyes at the young man in front of him.
Lu Qin sat up straight, his eyes shining darkly. "That's about all I can think of, but I think the factory office staff will be able to figure it out soon."
In fact, he had other ideas, but they were inappropriate.
"Okay, is the Propaganda Department busy recently?" Director Ren suddenly asked.
Director Zhao was still across from him, so Lu Qin couldn't lie. "I'm fine. I've been taking a break since the Mid-Autumn Festival. I've been busy with the factory's literacy campaign lately, educating the workers on basic knowledge."
But it is under the charge of Secretary Liu and his team.
Director Zhao glanced over here.
The phone rang again, and Director Ren's tone softened: "Then I'll have Comrade Zhou Jun call you over at the next meeting. Okay, you can go back first."
"Then Director, you are busy, I will leave first."
Lu Qin stood up, said hello to Director Zhao and several staff members, and left.
Ten minutes later, he pointed at an extra bottle of milk on the table and shook it, with a rough idea in mind about the candidate.
Comrade Zhou Jun happened to look over and silently said, "Consider it a thank you gift."
They both understood what the thank-you gift was, so they just took it as a thank you for helping to create a harmonious atmosphere.
Lu Qin also thanked him silently. There was no other way, the child at home probably loved drinking milk.
"Is this unfiltered rice wine?" Sun Laimei had never seen this thing before, but it didn't smell like rice wine.
Lu Chunnong explained, "This is Yinghe milk from Milk Bar. It's produced by a very famous dairy farm in Sanhe Province."
The original body had no memory, so Lu Qin was surprised, "Sister, you know..."
"Our county supply and marketing cooperative sold it many years ago, but few people bought it, so we stopped selling it later." The main reason was that no one bought it. In comparison, they preferred fruit-flavored soda that cost one or two cents.
When she heard that it was from a cow, Sun Laimei moved her mouth and said, "Can this be eaten? Doesn't it have any taste?"
It was at this time that Lu Qin unscrewed the lid and put it close to Kong Dongdong's nose.
Kong Dongdong grabbed his uncle's trouser leg with one hand and took the initiative to move forward to smell it based on trust.
Lu Qin raised his eyebrows, "Is it fragrant?"
"Delicious!" Kong Dongdong's answer was not surprising. He looked at the drink in his hand eagerly and said, "Uncle, is this for me to drink?"
Lu Qin took his hand back and said, "This half bottle is for you, but I have to heat it up for you. Don't drink too much at once."
He remembered that this kid had never drunk malted milk when he was a child.
“Okay!”
He then said, "Aunt, please make some sweet osmanthus stewed milk with this unopened bottle of milk. I remember the osmanthus flowers in the brigade are in bloom, right?"
His aunt is a good cook and everything she makes is delicious.
Sun Laimei understood the literal meaning, "Just pick up the milk and stew it, right?"
"No, Auntie, just mix the milk and egg white together, add some sugar and simmer it. When it's done, sprinkle a layer of osmanthus flowers on top."
"This is stewed milk with sugar osmanthus." Sun Laimei suddenly realized that it was not difficult.
"Hehe, Auntie, you are a good cook. This is not difficult to make. If I make it, it probably won't taste good." He was speaking the truth.
The key is that there is only one bottle of milk, and if you make it into an acceptable food, everyone can try it.
Kong Dongdong got to drink the milk half an hour later. Afraid that it might not taste good on his first try, we gave him half a bowl. When he took the first sip, his fair face was full of surprise, and then he walked around holding the bowl.
The sound of him generously offering the adults a sip of drink could be heard in the yard.
Who would snatch the little bit of food from his mouth, except his uncle of course.
Hot milk is especially fragrant.
Kong Dongdong's mouth was covered with milk stains, and he looked at him eagerly, "Uncle, is it delicious?"
"Delicious!" Lu Qin just touched his lips.
"Oh." Kong Dongdong stood on tiptoe and came down again, licking the outer layer of his mouth. He didn't say he wanted to come back.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Lu Qin stuffed his small bowl back to him, "Sit down and drink slowly. After you finish, sit in your special seat and read a book."
Kong Yue made him a small desk and stool that could perfectly fit his small body. He now likes to read and do homework every day and rarely goes out to play.
In the evening, everyone tasted the sugar osmanthus stewed milk.
It has no smell of mutton as you might imagine, and has a tender and smooth taste with a hint of milk and osmanthus fragrance.
At first, Sun Laimei felt a little sad when she cracked three or four eggs into it, but now she is a little surprised at its taste.
Lu Qin tasted it and it tasted a bit like pudding. He thought that next time he had the chance, he could follow Director Ren out and buy a bag of Yinghe milk powder.
And that day arrived soon, but Director Ren was not away. In mid-October, the heads of several major food factories came to the Lai Fu Food Factory to exchange and learn from each other's experiences.
It should be said that they were called by Director Ren, and when they came, each of them brought products from their own factory.
Prior to this, the factory office held several meetings and had formed a plan. The final decision was to cooperate with them, abandoning the "one-man show" approach and choosing "multiple branches show" instead.
Lu Qingang had just finished a class and was back at the factory. He now had a seat in the first-grade classroom at Laiyang County No. 1 Middle School, tucked away in the very back corner. While others were still leaning against the windows, he had already established good relationships with the students inside. His progress was quite rapid.
"Lu Qin, pack up and let's go to the factory office." Zhou Jun urged him.
Lu Qin immediately changed out of his striped shirt, put on a white shirt, and followed his steps while fixing his hair.
Zhou Jun introduced everything to him along the way.
Representatives from three factories came to exchange and learn today, namely Jiangguo Canning Factory, Sanqing Food Factory (candy), and Yinghe Food Factory.
In the past, it was impossible to invite people from other factories, and only three of them came.
It is different after all. In a room in the factory, new machines are humming, and new buildings are rising from the open space of the sports playground.
"Welcome, welcome, everyone, welcome to our Life Food Factory." Factory Director Ren shook hands with them one by one.
"Director Ren, we've met before." The middle-aged man shook his hand back.
Director Ren had a good memory. When his eyes fell on Lu Qin's face, he immediately remembered that he had asked Lu Qin to help him demonstrate the products.
With this fate, the smile on Director Ren's face became much warmer. But he also did not forget to greet the other two.
"Everyone has come from afar, would you like to take a walk first, or come with me for a cup of tea?"
"Let's take a walk first. Since we're here, let's take a look around your factory."
At the beginning, no one mentioned what was said on the phone, as everyone had their own thoughts.
Director Ren was not in a hurry. "Okay, let's go."
Lu Qin appeared at this moment. He saw Director Ren leading the way, and a few of them gathered together, pointing at the building in the distance and talking.
