As Lin Chengyu experienced Guangzhou's unique food culture, he couldn't help but feel a surge of love for the city.
He hopes to introduce more distinctive mainland products to Hong Kong so that people in Hong Kong can also enjoy these delicacies.
At that time, we can introduce various delicacies from the mainland to Hong Kong, and some of these delicacies can be produced directly in food factories.
There are also many delicacies that are very suitable to be introduced to the Song Lin Group's high-end restaurants, which have been open for less than a year. This would allow the restaurants to update their menus from time to time, so that all eight major cuisines of the mainland can shine in Hong Kong.
Since the Canton Fair was being held in Guangzhou, Lin Chengyu was reluctant to stay there and drove back to Hong Kong every day. In less than two days, Lin Chengyu returned to Hong Kong full of gains and joy.
"Ah Yu, this time you not only brought back all sorts of culinary recipes, but also so many chefs specializing in famous dishes. Won't people on the mainland have any objections?"
As Song Ziqing spoke, he savored a Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish that the new chef had spent two days and two nights preparing, praising the new Fujian cuisine chef's culinary skills.
“We paid for it, so we have no objections. Besides, these chefs decided to sneak away on their own; I just had the company’s shipping staff help them with their concerns.”
Lin Chengyu continued with a smile, "Besides, we're also doing this to promote the food culture of mainland China."
Song Ziqing nodded in agreement.
"That's true. Although we have our own selfish motives, these people have a hard time surviving on the mainland. By coming to Hong Kong, we can consider it a good deed."
This trip to the Canton Fair has indeed been very fruitful. Next, we need to carefully plan how to expand our business in mainland China.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Chengyu said, "I think we can first set up a department specifically for the mainland market, and send people with Hong Kong residency to be responsible for contacting suppliers in various places to find more high-quality and distinctive products."
At the same time, we must accelerate the development of new products for the food factory as much as possible, because time is tight and the task is arduous.
In this process, we must not only ensure that the products are of superior quality and taste excellent, but also satisfy the taste buds of consumers.
I plan to launch instant noodles, self-heating rice, and ham sausages ahead of schedule. These products are sure to be very popular in the European and American markets.
After all, Europeans, Americans, Japanese, and Koreans have a particular fondness for these fried fast foods. I firmly believe that our food companies will find it incredibly easy to penetrate these markets.
Song Ziqing further added, "We also need to pay special attention to brand promotion so that more people know about our products. We can plan some food events and sincerely invite people from all walks of life to participate to enhance brand awareness."
“Okay, I agree with you. We should indeed give the food company’s various products some catchy and easy-to-understand names, whether in Chinese or foreign languages, that are memorable.”
As soon as Lin Chengyu returned to his home in Hong Kong, he liked to sit in the study with Song Ziqing and chat about their parents and children, as well as various business matters at the company.
At this time, the two babies are sleeping, so they really don't disturb the young couple's time together much.
After finishing a large bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Song Ziqing continued, "The Canton Fair is held twice a year. In the past, it was always the company's people who went to participate. In the future, we will have to go and see for ourselves. Our perspective is different from that of others."
What many people consider useless local specialties, we can see as special and fully explore their greater uses.
"Yes, I met people from the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps at the Canton Fair these past two days. They brought various kinds of dried fruits and meats unique to Xinjiang."
What delighted me most was that I found several pieces of Hetian jade. Although there weren't many, I bought them all.
These Hetian jade pieces are all mutton fat white jade, top-quality jade. If carved well, they can easily make several bracelets.
I've reached an agreement with the person in charge from Xinjiang. Our company will be a long-term buyer of their Hetian jade. As long as the quality is good, we can definitely buy it all. Hetian jade still has a certain market in Hong Kong.
Most importantly, Hetian jade is currently incredibly cheap, so we can just like with jadeite, pick out some high-quality pieces, and stock up on them.
Lin Chengyu felt that he and Song Ziqing might both have a special background and experience, which made them subconsciously insecure and like to hoard valuable items.
He and Song Ziqing had long since discovered each other's problems, yet they allowed each other to develop increasingly intense collecting obsessions.
The couple had already discussed it; they wanted to collect more precious jewels and woods, as these items would become more valuable the longer they were kept.
It has more potential for appreciation than saving money, after all, these things are scarce and non-renewable treasures, and are becoming increasingly rare.
Upon hearing Lin Chengyu's words, Song Ziqing's face was filled with astonishment: "Isn't the Canton Fair usually just for factories to exhibit? How come you've come across Hetian jade here?"
Lin Chengyu quickly explained, "They had no choice. There's no market for Hetian jade these days, so they brought a few pieces to the Canton Fair to try their luck."
They had been displaying their wares there for two days, but no one paid any attention until I approached them to inquire. They were overjoyed when I immediately took out money to buy some.
Especially when I expressed my intention to place long-term orders for Hetian jade, the person in charge in Xinjiang was overjoyed. They treated our company's staff as their most honored guests and even gave us a large amount of dried fruit and dried meat as gifts.
Their province is located in a border region, and not many products can participate in the Canton Fair.
This time, they were desperate and grasping at straws. Besides bringing several truckloads of dried fruit and dried meat, they also hauled a few pieces of Hetian jade along with them, really just trying their luck.
"We are so lucky! These pieces of Hetian jade are absolutely top-notch, of the highest quality, and you managed to acquire them for only a few hundred yuan."
It seems the domestic market for Xinjiang Hetian jade is becoming increasingly sluggish, but this presents a good opportunity for us to buy it at low prices. This way, at least the lives of people near the Hetian jade mines can be improved.
Song Ziqing thought to herself that once the reform and opening up were implemented, they could contract more mines in Hotan, since she remembered that there were still several Hotan jade mines in Xinjiang that had not yet been discovered.
However, she and Lin Chengyu were not in a hurry to develop the domestic mineral resources; they just wanted to build up some connections first.
They had already planned to study abroad two years later, when they both graduated from university.
While studying abroad, they also need to gradually build up their own influence in various countries.
