Siter Company is the first joint venture in Jinling and a major event that Lin Daoyuan did after taking office.

Lin Daoyuan was very concerned about the current situation and subsequent development of the Site Company. After briefly chatting about Xiao Shao’s work arrangements, Lin Daoyuan asked Song Yuanchao about the situation of the Site Company.

Song Yuanchao carefully reported the current progress of the Site Company to Lin Daoyuan and explained the following key points.

Lin Daoyuan listened very seriously and asked several key questions. Song Yuanchao answered them one by one with confidence.

After listening to Song Yuanchao’s story, Lin Daoyuan thought for a while and asked, “Assisting Korea, how much will the turnover and profits and taxes of the Site Company reach by this time next year?”

Song Yuanchao thought about this issue slightly and said a number.

Lin Daoyuan was a little surprised and asked Song Yuanchao that he would be wrong, right? Song Yuanchao told Lin Daoyuan that although the number was just an estimate, there would not be much difference. If the market was better, the number would probably be higher.

After receiving the affirmation of Song Yuanchao, Lin Daoyuan nodded with gratitude: "It seems that this move is right. Not to mention reaching this level, as long as it can reach more than 80% of your estimate, the scale of the St. Company will be far beyond the previous Nandu Food. In just one year, this answer can be said to be qualified!"

"Of course, otherwise there would be no need to start a joint venture at the beginning." Song Yuanchao said proudly: "Nandu is not our goal. Our goal is to have larger enterprises and markets, not only some large domestic food factories, but also foreign counterparts who are about to enter the country."

"According to the current status of the Site Company, we have formulated a three-year preliminary plan. In these three years, in addition to Yanjing, Shanghai and Shancheng, which are about to be officially put into production, we will build branches one after another. My idea is to build at least seven to eight branches in three years, and provincial companies will be established in various provinces across the country."

"This is not easy to do." Lin Daoyuan seemed very happy and expressed concern.

"It's not easy, but it can still be done. The key is to rely on the sales situation after the new factory is put into production this year. Markets in various places will be launched soon. In addition to traditional beverages and new beverages, the sales of instant noodles are also the top priority. We attach great importance to the market of this product and believe that the market can give us rich returns."

Lin Daoyuan thought for a while and said, "I don't know the instant noodles market, but I know this thing, do you really have confidence in this product?"

"Of course!" Song Yuanchao smiled and said, "This is actually a big market. Although instant noodles are not new in our country, they are a new thing for the common people. But in foreign countries, especially in Japan, the instant noodles market is very mature. Even instant noodles in the Taiwan Strait and other areas with Chinese people are very popular."

"This fast food product has the advantage of speed and convenience, and the good taste is very suitable for eating in many cases. Not to mention the others, for example, the most troublesome thing for people who often travel on business is accommodation and eating. Let's not talk about the former for now, just talk about the latter. Finding a place to eat is a big trouble, especially when traveling in other places, national food coupons are required, but not everyone can get national food coupons, even if they get it, it is limited."

"In this case, if you soak it in boiling water, you can eat a bowl of steaming instant noodles at any time. Isn't it more appropriate to carry a few dry, hard and cold steamed buns with you? In addition to these groups, there are comrades who often work in the field and comrades from special professions. They often encounter similar problems. The emergence of instant noodles can solve these problems very well. What do you think?"

Lin Daoyuan thought about it and felt that what Song Yuanchao said was not unreasonable, and at the same time he became interested in the instant noodles mentioned by Song Yuanchao. He joked that he hadn't eaten their instant noodles yet and didn't know what the taste was.

Song Yuanchao immediately smiled and said that this was a trivial matter. Tomorrow he would send two boxes of instant noodles to Lin Daoyuan to try. However, it is okay to eat this thing once or twice, and it is not enough to eat it frequently. After all, it is not nutritious and just fills your stomach.

Lin Daoyuan is old and has a bad stomach. It is okay to taste this kind of food, but it must not be eaten as a meal. If Lin Daoyuan is greedy for noodles, just tell him that it is okay to ask Sister Zhang to make it or come here for him in person. If you don’t help, prepare some snacks in his office, it is better than eating instant noodles.

Lin Daoyuan laughed loudly, pointed at Song Yuanchao and cursed a few times, saying that his boy was too stubborn.

"By the way, Dad, what's going on?" Suddenly, Song Yuan turned his eyes and asked.

Lin Daoyuan's expression was a little serious. Although he was very satisfied with Song Yuanchao's son-in-law, Lin Daoyuan's temperament was very disgusted with situations such as walking in the back door, especially when his children asked him to do things, Lin Daoyuan had always opposed it.

"Don't worry, it's definitely not a violation of the principle." Song Yuanchao of course knew Lin Daoyuan's temper. Seeing that his face was not good-looking, he quickly explained.

After taking a sip of cigarette, Lin Daoyuan glanced at Song Yuanchao: "What's the matter? Tell me."

"Dad, isn't our instant noodles officially put into production soon? For market sales, the sales company has already made plans, and will promote them through advertising and media promotion at the same time. But I think this model still has limitations, especially fast food products such as instant noodles. If they are promoted and sold in this way, they will not be effective in the short term."

When Lin Daoyuan heard Song Yuanchao say this, he calmed down. It turned out that what Song Yuanchao asked him for was not a private matter or a public matter.

Song Yuanchao continued: "You have worked in the Planning Commission for many years. You have known many people in various departments and have many relationships. I wonder if you can say hello to the railway? Let our products go directly to the railway?"

Lin Daoyuan was stunned and immediately realized that Song Yuanchao was trying to make a railway channel, but after careful consideration, he had to admit that Song Yuanchao's idea was good.

Railways are a special department with many of their own units. Just like most large state-owned enterprises, they are an independent kingdom when closed.

Moreover, the particularity of railways is not comparable to those state-owned enterprises. Railways are the main artery of transportation in the country, especially when there is no expressway at present (the first expressway is the Hujia Expressway, built in 1988). The railway network connecting all over the country is the most convenient and fastest way for ordinary people to travel.

Today's railways are not the high-speed rail network of later generations, and it is still early to speed up the railway.

Usually, it is common for long-distance travel to take the train for two or three days. Not to mention the long journey, if you accidentally take a slow train, it is only less than 170 kilometers from Shanghai to Hangzhou, and it is common for you to drive slowly for seven or eight hours.

Therefore, there are usually special sales stalls everywhere on stations, platforms, and trains. The most common thing is that the train conductors push special iron retail cars to and from various carriages to sell goods to passengers.

The instant noodles produced by Song Yuanchao and others are a fast food product. In terms of nutrition and taste, of course, they are not as good as those sold by roast chicken, red sausages and the like sold on trains or platforms. However, the latter is expensive and is not affordable to ordinary people. Moreover, the storage of these meat products is also a big problem. You have to eat them as soon as possible after buying them. Otherwise, when the weather is hot, the food will be completely broken.

Song Yuanchao's idea was very simple, which was to directly use Lin Daoyuan's relationship to put their products on the railway channel and sell them on the railway platform and in the carriage.

Compared with the current products sold on railways, instant noodles have great advantages. First, the price is cheap, and second, you can eat a bowl of steaming noodles at any time when you go out, which is very tempting for many people.

In addition, the aroma of instant noodles is well known. Once a person brews a bowl of instant noodles in a car, not only can the whole carriage smell it, but even the adjacent carriage can be transmitted.

Seeing others eating hot noodles with relish, I could only eat hard dry food and boiled water, that person would not be moved? Moreover, buying instant noodles does not require food coupons, which is even more advantageous. So from this point of view, selling such products through the railway network is the best way.

This kind of sales method also has a great advertising effect. The domestic railway network is well-connected and is laid all over the country. Instant noodles are promoted through railways, and the effect is much stronger than ordinary advertising.

In fact, Song Yuanchao had already started to think about this matter more than a week ago, but it was impossible for Song Yuanchao and St. Company to build products into the railway system. If you want to do this, you can only ask Lin Daoyuan for help.

After listening to Song Yuanchao's explanation, Lin Daoyuan thought carefully, but did not say he agreed or refused, but just nodded slightly.

Seeing Lin Daoyuan like this, Song Yuanchao did not urge him. He knew Lin Daoyuan's temper and personality. Since he did not object to this matter on the spot, Lin Daoyuan had already taken it to heart.

The father-in-law and son-in-law forgot the time as soon as they chatted. When Chen Yuqin knocked on the door to remind them that it was too late. Song Yuanchao must be tired from driving from Shanghai, and it would be the same if there was anything to talk about tomorrow.

At this time, Song Yuanchao found that it was past ten o'clock in the evening and it had already been Lin Daoyuan's rest time. The two ended the conversation. That night, Song Yuanchao lived here and did not go back. After getting up the next day, he went straight to the company.

Back at the company, Song Yuanchao convened a meeting at the centralized level. The content of the meeting was mainly about the three branches that were about to be put into production and the subsequent market sales, including the preparations for warehousing and logistics.
