When Gu Changjun learned of this situation, he was worried. He kept sighing secretly that Song Yuanchao failed to take charge of Nandu. Compared with the current Nandu, the development of the Site Company is too rapid and vigorous.

Nowadays, Site is much stronger than Nandu in terms of enterprise size and market share. You should know that more than two years ago, Site was just a branch under Nandu, so how could it compare to Nandu, which is well-known in Jinling?

If it continues, the decline of Nandu will be irreversible. This is the knot of Gu Changjun and a thought that he could never let go.

This time, Song Yuanchao came from a thousand miles to see him, which made Gu Changjun very happy, and also remembered the problem of Nandu. Not long after Song Yuanchao and his family left yesterday, his eldest son arrived at the hospital. Gu Changjun specifically asked his eldest son to shout that the second son would go to the hotel for him to express his gratitude to Song Yuanchao and Lu Baogang. At the same time, he asked the eldest son to bring a message to him and ask Song Yuanchao to come to the hospital today and he wanted to tell him something.

Today, Song Yun came to the Korean War, and the Gu Chang army did not go around the circle and directly raised the questions about Nandu.

In fact, Song Yuanchao also knew about this situation. After all, he had been the deputy factory director in Nandu. Although he has left Nandu now, in terms of equity structure, Nandu is still a sibling unit of Site. Everyone is also a peer in the food industry. Although the specific products are slightly different, many things between each other are not secrets.

Now, not only is the case with Jiangdahai period, but it feels lifeless.

Especially after the National Day last year, the leaders of Nandu General Factory had no idea what was going on, so they developed a plan called cost saving and optimization formula, and directly adjusted the product formula.

Judging from the data, the adjusted formula has indeed been greatly reduced because the new formula has greatly reduced the raw materials of natural white sugar, condensed milk, milk powder, butter, etc., thus replacing them with alternatives.

This method seems to be fine on the surface, and it greatly reduces cost expenditure. After all, the raw materials described by the former are expensive, and the butter in the past must be imported and requires valuable foreign exchange procurement.

The substitutes used now are nothing more than a series of chemicals such as sugar substitutes, margarine, and vanillin. Their prices are extremely low, and they are a fraction or even a few tenth of the original raw material cost.

However, with such adjustments, the taste of the products is very different, especially some old customers who have eaten Nandu products for many years frowned when they buy them and taste them.

Perhaps most people can't eat it, but people who often eat it will feel something is wrong as soon as they eat it. The natural sweetness before now has become strange, and there is also an indescribable bitter aftertaste.

Professionals will know what this kind of taste is when they are selected. It is all tasted by chemical ingredients. Imagine that there will be a market for such products?

In the first month after the formulation adjustment, Nandu's overall cost fell by more than one-third, resulting in a sharp increase in the benefits ratio.

Because of this reason, the leaders were complacent and made a big fuss with this achievement, and were also praised by their superiors.

But soon the sequelae emerged, and consumers are not fools. Everyone will know whether the food is good or not. If you eat it, you will be deceived once or the second time?

At the end of the year, when the Spring Festival approaches, it is logical that Nandu's product sales are at its peak at this stage, but this year, Nandu's products have encountered unprecedented cold treatment in the market. The overall sales volume is less than half of previous years. A large number of products produced overtime cannot be sold. At the same time, there are also cases of return of dealers near various provinces and cities.

When this incident reached Song Yuanchao's ears, it was already after the Spring Festival. Song Yuanchao was busy getting gold medals and marketing events, but he heard Lao Tang mention this to him.

Song Yuanchao remembered that after listening to Lao Tang's story, he cursed a few words and said something he would not die. But later, because he was too busy, and Nandu and Ste were two companies after all, so he didn't continue to pay attention.

Now Gu Changjun mentioned this again. According to Gu Changjun's statement to Song Aidong Korea, due to the great bad impact of product formula adjustment on Nandu, it not only lost the favor of many old customers, but also was rejected by the market.

The employees of Nandu and some workshop cadres were cursing in private, especially during the Chinese New Year this year, everyone had a very unsatisfactory New Year.

In previous years, the Chinese New Year was what everyone expected, but due to the sudden unsalable product this year, the year-end bonus issued was actually halfway, and the benefits given were also much less than the price. Isn’t this what ordinary workers have imagined? After a year of hard work, they got far lower than expected. How could this be if the leader had not been tortured? It would be strange if it wasn’t for the troublemakers.

"The product formulas in Nandu were developed by the predecessors for many years, and were also tested and recognized by the market and the public. This is like a restaurant. A good chef can determine the life and death of a hotel. Once a popular restaurant has changed to a not-so-good chef, can this restaurant continue to be opened?"

Gu Changjun was very angry. Although he was not a professional, the work he did in Nandu had nothing to do with production, but after all, he had been in Nandu for so long, and the layman had long been learning from an expert.

Such a fool is simply incomprehensible, it is completely a prank.

If they continue to do this, how many old instincts in Nandu can make them trouble like this?

Song Yuanchao told Gu Changjun that he had heard about this, but it was Nandu's own business after all. Although he was the chairman of Site, he had nothing to do with Nandu, and he couldn't get involved in this matter.

"I understand, I understand." Gu Changjun nodded and sighed: "Xiao Song, I told you that these things were not something that you asked you to think of for Nandu. Even if you have a solution, it would be useless. After all, you are in Site, Nandu, and now you are two companies. And as the chairman of a joint venture, it is not suitable to interfere in the daily work of state-owned enterprises."

"I think. If Nandu continues like this, the future situation is really worrying. After all, you are also a person from Nandu, and Nandu is also your old unit. No matter what, you always have some feelings, right?"

"If a company is not done well, the leader can be transferred. At worst, it can be patted to work in another company. But what should those employees do? Many of them have worked in this company all their lives, and some people not only work in Nandu, but even their parents are from Nandu."

"To them, Nandu is like his own home. If Nandu really collapses in the future, where can they go?"

Gu Changjun sighed, his face full of pain and worry. He reached out and held Song Yuanchao's hand tightly and said sincerely: "Xiao Song, I know you are a nostalgic person, otherwise you wouldn't come to see me specifically. I don't have much time left, and the only thing I can't let go is this. I don't have much request, I just hope that in the future, if you really can't stand it one day, you can help Nandu and those colleagues who have worked with you..."

Due to serious illness, Gu Changjun lost a lot of weight. His hands were cold and full of bones. He could feel the strength and expectations in his heart when holding Song Yuanchao.

After holding back tears, Song Yuanchao nodded heavily. He promised Gu Changjun that he would remember this matter. No matter what Nandu is in the future, if there was really something like this that Gu Changjun said, then Song Yuanchao would definitely help, protect Nandu and the employees of Nandu.

"Thank you Xiao Song, please..."

Gu Changjun seemed to have used his last strength to say this. After he finished speaking, his breathing suddenly became rapid, and his eyes suddenly became wide open. Song Yuanchao was so scared that he hurried to find a doctor. After the doctor and nurse arrived, he looked at Gu Changjun's situation and hurriedly provided first aid.

After a long struggle, Gu Changjun gradually recovered and his breath temporarily calmed down.

"Comrade, the patient is not inconvenient to continue to meet guests now. You should come again in a few days." The doctor left the ward, and Song Yuanchao, who was waiting in the corridor, hurriedly met him and asked about Gu Changjun's situation. The doctor briefly told Song Yuanchao, and then told Song Yuanchao this.

After taking a look at the closed ward door, Song Yuanchao did not continue to enter the door. He stood at the door for a while, and finally bowed deeply to the inside of the door before leaving.

In the next few days, Gu Changjun's condition was getting better and worse. Song Yuanchao and Lu Baogang could only meet him for the last time, and were driven out by the nurse without even saying anything.

After staying in the mountain city for a few days, many things were waiting for Song Yuanchao to deal with. Song Yuanchao and Lu Baogang had to return first and went to see Gu Changjun when they left, but Gu Changjun was sleeping on the partition at that time. They did not enter the ward, but just stood outside the ward and took a look.

After saying goodbye to the eldest and second son of the Gu family and leaving their own contact information for them, Song Yuanchao and Lu Baogang returned first.

When he returned to Jinling, Song Yuanchao devoted himself to his busy work, and this busyness lasted half a month.

One morning in early April, Song Yuanchao, who had not yet gotten up, suddenly received a long-distance call.

The phone call was called by the boss of the Gu family. The boss of the Gu family told Song Yuanchao sadly on the phone that his father Gu Changjun had just left an hour ago. When he heard the news, Song Yuanchao could not believe his ears. Although he had expected it in his heart, the result was still too sudden. Song Yuanchao didn't know how he hung up the phone. When he came to his senses, he found that he was standing by the bed with bare feet and not even wearing shoes.
