After the Rongcheng party, Song Weiyang returned to Rongping City for nearly half a month, carefully checked the company's situation in the first half of the year, and exchanged opinions with Yang Xin on the development of new products.

"It is certain to launch juice drinks next year, and the country encourages it," said Song Weiyang. "But since we call Xifeng Food and Beverage Company, we cannot only make drinks, and we must also start with the food."

"Bizzards? Fructose? Or Eight Treasure Porridge?" Yang Xin asked.

"Instant noodles." Song Weiyang said.

Yang Xin smiled bitterly: "I spent 50,000 yuan on market research last year. The competition for instant noodles is too fierce. Mainland brands include Huafeng, Longfeng, Hualong, Zhongcui, Nande, Jinfeng, etc., and foreign brands also include Master Kong, Unified, Meichu, Yingduo, Lucky... Last year, there were more than 1,000 instant noodles manufacturers nationwide, more than 2,000 production lines, and 50,000 sets of 50,000 sets of 50,000 sets of 50,000 sets of squads. Now there are large production lines with more than 100,000 sets of instant noodles. The high-end, mid-end and low-end products of instant noodles have been occupied by domestic and foreign brands at all levels, and it is difficult for us to break a path."

If it was after 2000, Song Weiyang would recommend the development of non-fried instant noodles. Wugu Taoist temple made this move that year, which was to cause bloody storm in the Chinese instant noodles market.

But it is still in 1996. In addition to mineral water and pure water, other beverages and instant noodles are all "advanced diets" and are far from rising to the concept of "healthy". At this time, non-fried instant noodles were launched, and there was only one result: high costs lead to insufficient competitiveness and losing money to gain publicity.

"That's how I think," said Song Weiyang. "Aren't we entering the railway system now? This is a good breakthrough. In addition, we have to start with taste. The most popular ones are braised beef noodles and spicy fried noodles. We can create old sauerkraut noodles, pickled pepper beef noodles, and soup pork ribs noodles. We develop distinctive seasoning packages, taking into account both heavy flavors and clear flavor consumer groups, and promoting them through huge advertising and inherent channels. We will definitely be able to break through the siege in the instant noodles market."

"This method is OK," Yang Xin nodded and asked again, "How about making ham sausage? The ham sausage market is also very popular now."

Song Weiyang denied it and said: "No, this is a bit far, we must proceed step by step."

Things settled, Xifeng began to develop sauerkraut and soup flavors, preparing to put them on the market during the Spring Festival travel rush this year. As for the factory, due to the surge in instant noodles brands in the past two years, many state-owned instant noodles factories are on the verge of bankruptcy. In addition, this year, from the central government to the local government, Xifeng Company can easily pick up several instant noodles factories for free. As long as they can solve debt and employment problems, local governments will pay them all over the country, and various policies will be green all the way.

As for Wang Leehom, who was replaced by the twenty-one layer of purification, was thrown to endorse Xifeng Ice Tea and replaced Ge You and Ge, and the advertising song he sang was still the same song "Love Is You".

And the new spokesperson of Coke, Xifeng Company is contacting Aaron Kwok to be young, energetic and dynamic, just let Kwok sing "Move".

Looking around the country, let’s take a look at the resistance of local enterprises to foreign investment.

In the summer, the home appliance industry can almost declare victory, and it is a comprehensive victory. The bosses are too lazy to slogans of patriotic war of resistance, and have begun to enthusiastically build the Fortune 500 in the world, and proposed a "technical revolution", breaking foreign technology monopoly, and making each higher-end.

In early July, Kelong took the lead in announcing an investment of 1 billion yuan to establish an electrical product research and development institute in Japan.

Immediately afterwards, Haier, Changhong, TCL and other brands announced the establishment of "frontier technology centers" in the United States, Europe and Japan.

Speaking of heroic and grand, it is actually hype. After they made foreign brands die, they continued to fight civil wars and played price wars until they died. Where can they have spare money to develop core technologies?

After these companies set up technology research and development centers abroad, they have continuously made "breakthroughs". For example, "photocatalyst air conditioner" means adding an activated carbon filter to the filter. The cost of the filter is less than 1 yuan, but the price of the air conditioner has increased by several hundred yuan. There is also "ring-shaped three-dimensional air conditioner", which is known as a patented technology developed with an investment of over 100 million yuan, is actually a timer on the air blades to change up and down, left and right.

The technological innovation of domestic brands has become a concept war from the beginning.

Haier was no exception, and he created a "sweet potato washing machine". Legend has it that General Zhang visited the southwest rural areas and found that farmers used washing machines to wash sweet potatoes, and the drainage pipes were often blocked by sludge. So Haier launched a washing machine with two drainage pipes, using thin tubes to wash clothes and thick tubes to wash sweet potatoes, and then raising the selling price and promoting it.

After the watermelon washing machine was "successful", Haier launched a washing machine that can wash lobsters and a washing machine that can make butter, all of which are black technology products.

The problem is that when farmers bought washing machines in the 1990s, they used their own treasures to provide them. They usually used plastic film and cloth to cover them for protection. When farmers saw the ghost, they used the washing machine to wash sweet potatoes. A basket of sweet potatoes was sifted in water and shaved for a few minutes. It was much faster than using a washing machine.

As for the washing machine that is used to make butter... the picture is so beautiful that I dare not watch it.

At the end of August, Song Weiyang returned to Shenghai.

Time Cafe.

Lin Zhuoyun brought homemade Italian pies and asked Song Weiyang to try them (try) fresh (test), while cutting the pie, saying, "My sister will bring Doudou here tomorrow. I'm afraid they are not familiar with the road. Can you drive a van to pick it up?"

"No problem," Song Weiyang carefully put the pie into his mouth and frowned, "It's too sweet."

Lin Zhuoyun tried it herself: "No, I think it's just right."

"Maybe there is something wrong with my taste." Song Weiyang likes to eat salty food, while Lin Zhuoyun prefers sweet food. This is an irreconcilable contradiction between the salty party and the sweet party.

"Then I'll do it lighter next time." Lin Zhuoyun said.

A policeman suddenly walked in, took out his notebook and asked, "Who is responsible here?"

Lin Zhuoyun responded quickly: "I am responsible, what's wrong?"

The police asked: "What were you doing on the 27th of this month, that is, yesterday?"

"I read books in the morning, watched in the store at noon and afternoon, and went to Fudan campus for a while in the evening." Lin Zhuoyun replied.

The police asked: "Can anyone testify?"

Lin Zhuoyun said: "All clerks can testify, our cafe is open until 10 o'clock in the evening."

The police went to investigate other clerks, and the details were fine, and asked if they had found suspicious characters in the past few days.

Song Weiyang handed over a cigarette and asked, "Comrade, what big case has happened?"

"Are you?" the policeman asked.

"I am the owner of this cafe," said Song Weiyang. "I have been in Xikang Province before and I only flew back this morning."

The police immediately lowered their vigilance: "You haven't read the newspaper yet. The writer Dai Houying and her niece were killed yesterday. Dai Houying was killed more than 30 times, and the scene was very miserable. Now the police in the city are conducting a big investigation. If you find any suspicious target, call the police immediately and don't go out alone at night. I'll leave first and go to the next store."

The Dai Houying case, Song Weiyang immediately got an impression.

This person's novel "Man, Man!" was a far-reaching influence in the 1980s, and his works were translated into many Chinese characters. She was formerly an associate professor at Fudan Branch. After Fudan Branch was incorporated into Shenghai University, she has been an associate professor at Shenghai University.

When Dai Houying died in her previous life, Song Weiyang happened to return to her hometown during the summer vacation. After school started, she found that the whole school was discussing because Song Weiyang was studying Shenghai University, and Dai Houying was a teacher at the school.

The case was too big, not only the whole country was shocked, but many countries such as Britain, the United States, France and Japan were following up and reported. Dai Houying's daughter was abroad, the uncle of the niece who was killed with Dai Houying, and the full secretary of a certain district in Shenghai. This series of situations put a lot of pressure on the public security organs to solve the case. Not only did the whole city investigate, but even Dai Houying's hometown was traveling and 23 villages were investigated from door to door.

Although Song Weiyang forgot about this, as soon as he communicated with the police, he immediately remembered who the murderer was.

The murderer worked in Wujiaochang, not far from the Time Cafe, which is the hotel opposite the restaurant where Song Weiyang invited Ma Xiaoyun to dinner for the first time. The murderer worked as a chef in the hotel, and Dai Houying helped introduce this job.

The murderer's identity is the grandson of Dai Houying's middle school teacher. He came to Shenghai from his hometown to work. Dai Houying enthusiastically helped introduce the work, but the murderer felt the money and killed Dai Houying and his niece, and stole the passbook, cash, jewelry and walkman.

Do you want to report to the police?

Although the case will be solved in the end, it will consume a lot of manpower and material resources.

The question is, how to explain it?

Alas, it would be great if I remembered it early in the morning. Song Weiyang could have stopped it, but unfortunately he completely forgot about it.

The police officer was about to walk out of the cafe, and Song Weiyang suddenly said: "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" the policeman turned around and asked.

Song Weiyang said: "I know there is a man who works as a chef in the hotel in front. Last time I met him while having dinner with my friend in a hotel, and he said he was a relative of Teacher Dai."

"Really?" The police officer was very excited.
Chapter completed!
