Chapter 123 Important Meetings
Zhao Yuan recounted his experiences in the capital to her, showing her one by one the things he had bought there.
He told Lin Fangfang the story behind each item, taught her how to appreciate each item and its potential future value, and finally told her that these items cost nearly 10,000 yuan.
Lin Fangfang listened intently to Zhaoyuan's detailed introduction of the newly purchased treasures. Her bright and focused eyes never left her husband's face, for fear of missing any important details.
After Zhao Yuan finished speaking, Lin Fangfang carefully put away each piece of calligraphy and painting. She gently placed them one by one into the specially prepared cabinet for calligraphy and paintings, and gently turned the key to lock the cabinet.
The porcelain and snuff bottles were placed in another cabinet, which was also locked.
Speaking of this calligraphy and painting cabinet, it is truly the result of Lin Fangfang's painstaking efforts.
When Zhao Xiaoqing last visited Jinyang County, Lin Fangfang took the opportunity to humbly ask him how to properly store these calligraphy and paintings to ensure they are not damaged and remain in good condition.
Then, she followed Zhao Xiaoqing's instructions and specially commissioned this cabinet for calligraphy and paintings, just to give these precious works worth hundreds of millions of yuan the most careful care and protection.
Zhao Yuan stood quietly to the side, watching his wife's earnest and contented expression, and a feeling of indescribable happiness welled up inside him.
At that moment, he felt like the luckiest man in the world, having such a virtuous and thoughtful wife.
In his eyes, this scene before him was the life he had always dreamed of: a warm and comfortable home, a loving and understanding partner, and a group of lively and adorable children around him. Only such a life, filled with the warmth of everyday life, could be considered truly happy and fulfilling!
At this moment, Lin Fangfang seemed to suddenly remember something and spoke up:
“Brother Yuan, several groups of people have come to the village these past few days. Some came to borrow money from us, but I told them I don’t manage the money at home and can’t make decisions, so I sent them away. In addition, several other groups said they were going to the city on business and wanted to come to our house for lunch. But I’ve arranged everything perfectly, and nothing went wrong.”
As she spoke, a proud smile appeared on Lin Fangfang's face.
Zhao Yuan nodded in approval.
Then, Lin Fangfang mentioned:
"By the way, Zhang Hua came to our house twice while you were away. But she didn't cause me any trouble. She just came to ask if you were back and then left. I didn't pay any attention to her."
"Fangfang, I will resolve this matter as soon as possible, don't worry."
Zhao Yuan said.
"Yes, I believe you."
Lin Fangfang said.
......
The next morning, sunlight filtered through the thin clouds, falling softly onto the earth, as if draping the whole world in a golden veil. After breakfast, Zhao Yuan and Zhong Weijie went to Zhao's Food Factory together.
At this time, Feng Jun had resigned from his original job and arrived at the food factory two days earlier.
Meanwhile, Zhou Jiefang was enthusiastically giving Feng Jun a detailed introduction to the food factory, including the production process, equipment condition, and a series of strict rules and regulations.
When they saw Zhao Yuan walk in with Zhong Weijie, the busy people stopped what they were doing, smiled and went forward to greet the two of them warmly.
With a smile, Zhao Yuan formally introduced Zhong Weijie to everyone present.
Afterwards, everyone moved to a spacious and bright office and sat together for an important meeting.
The purpose of this meeting is to jointly plan key issues such as new product development and production line optimization after the new factory is completed.
At the beginning of the meeting, the experienced Master Fang took the lead in sharing his unique insights.
He believes that existing resources and technological advantages can be fully utilized to focus on developing popular products such as chicken sausages, regular sausages, and blood sausages. These products not only taste delicious but also have relatively mature production processes, allowing for rapid production and market share capture.
Following suit, Zhong Weijie offered his valuable suggestions. He advocated developing locally distinctive red sausages, while also launching delicious dishes such as braised beef, braised pig's feet, and braised chicken feet, and considering venturing into the noodle market. He firmly believes that a diversified product line can meet the needs of different consumers and further enhance brand influence.
Just then, the quick-thinking Feng Jun proposed a novel idea: the new factory could try producing various kinds of candies and dried fruits. These products have high added value and broad market prospects; if they can innovate in quality and taste, they will surely become new profit growth points.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was lively and enthusiastic, with everyone expressing their opinions freely.
The participants engaged in in-depth and detailed discussions and analyses of the proposals put forward by each person, weighing the pros and cons in an effort to find the most suitable path for the new factory's development under the current circumstances.
Finally, Zhao Yuan enthusiastically proposed:
"Besides what we've already discussed, I have another novel idea! We should start developing a unique type of noodle that can be eaten simply by soaking it in hot water. This would be very convenient for travelers; they could just soak it in boiling water on the train and eat it—it's incredibly convenient. I've named it 'instant noodles.'"
The instant noodles I'm planning to design will look like curled noodles, compressed into a flat cake after special processing.
The preparation method should be quite simple. First, knead the flour, roll it out thinly, cut it into thin noodles, and then dehydrate and shape them by frying or drying.
When packaging, seasoning packets can be included, with different flavors such as spicy and braised to satisfy various preferences.
After saying that, Zhao Yuan turned to Zhong Weijie and solemnly said:
"This project will be in your hands! Also, how about we make some small, delicate steamed buns and soft, delicious bread? We can consider those."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
After a heated discussion, everyone finally reached a consensus that the new factory should have at least four types of production lines.
First, there are ham sausages, which have a delicious taste and firm texture.
Secondly, there are braised dishes, which have a rich flavor and leave a lasting impression;
Furthermore, there are the convenient and delicious instant noodles and other noodle products mentioned earlier;
Finally, there are the sweet and tempting candies.
Moreover, they must actively develop new products in each category and constantly innovate to meet market demands.
The specific division of labor is as follows:
