Li Zhongxin could see the thoughts in Masako Mitsui's mind, and he was still worried about gains and losses amid his hesitation.

She was hesitant because she felt that if Li Zhongxin, as the chairman, did that, it would be an act of seizing power. More importantly, it was because Li Zhongxin thought of cooperating with the Heilongjiang Province.

As for other matters, just as Li Zhongxin said, it can be handled by the original general manager of wiisjgkcg or a newly hired professional manager.

It can be said that Li Zhongxin gave her the credit for the development of wiisjgkcg company.

As for Li Zhongxin's idea of ​​being a big shopkeeper who doesn't want to worry about anything, Masako Mitsui can't figure it out anyway. She won't think that Li Zhongxin did this to wiisjgkcg just to dump the burden on her.

A rising star was entirely entrusted to her management.

After Li Zhongxin and Mitsui Masako finalized these matters, Mitsui Masako was very happy to treat Li Zhongxin to a meal of Thai food.

After eating Thai food, Li Zhongxin directly told Masako Mitsui that he would visit Ikeda City in Japan tomorrow and hoped that Masako Mitsui could accompany him.

In later generations, when Li Zhongxin was engaged in foreign trade, he visited Ikeda City in Japan, where he also visited the earliest instant noodles museum in Japan.

Li Zhongxin remembers clearly that the staff in the museum told the history of instant noodles.

In 1958, Momofuku Ando invented the world's first package of instant noodles - "Chicken Ramen". After the "World War II", Japan was seriously short of food, and most people were so hungry that they even ate potato stalks. Momofuku Ando occasionally passed by a ramen stall.

Seeing the poorly dressed people standing in a queue of 20 to 30 meters despite the cold wind, he couldn't help but become very interested in ramen.

In the spring of 1958, Momofuku Ando began to study ramen. He built a 10-square-meter research laboratory in the backyard of his residence in Ikeda City, Osaka Prefecture, found an old noodle-making machine, and then bought a 1-meter-diameter Chinese noodle machine.

Wok, an 18kg bag of flour, cooking oil, etc., and concentrate on researching instant noodles.

The instant noodles envisioned by Momofuku Ando are instant noodles that can be eaten immediately by adding hot water. It is very easy to eat. He set five goals: first, the taste is not only delicious but you will never get tired of eating it; second, it can become a family

It is a common kitchen item and has high shelf life; third, it is simple and does not require cooking; fourth, it is cheap; fifth, because it is food, it must be safe and hygienic. In the noodle business, he is a complete layman. Noodles

The combination of raw materials is very subtle and he has a lot of knowledge. He tried everything he thought of, but the effect was not good.

After some hard work, he finally solved the preservation problem. Later, his wife's method of making fried dishes inspired him. There are countless holes in the coating of fried food, just like a sponge. This is because the coating is

Mixed with water, the water in it will dissipate during the frying process, forming "holes". Add boiling water and it will become soft quickly. In this way, the noodles are soaked in the soup to make them taste, and then fried.

By drying, the problems of preservation and cooking can be solved at the same time. Momofuku Ando was so excited that he called this production method "instantaneous hot oil drying method" and obtained a patent for the instant noodles production method.

At that time, there were chickens raised next to the research shed in the backyard, which were often killed for the table. One day, the chicken soup made by the mother-in-law with chicken bones was put in the ramen, and the son actually ate it very well. At that time, Momofuku Ando decided to

Instant noodles also use chicken broth.

Momofuku Ando distributed the trial product to acquaintances everywhere, and the evaluation was that "it has a different taste from existing ramen, and it is very convenient and can become a new product."

Momofuku Ando entrusted a friend who worked in a trading company to send samples to the United States to test the reaction. As a result, a reply came immediately from the United States, requesting to order 500 more boxes. Momofuku Ando realized that food really has no borders, and there is a vague meaning.

A hunch: maybe this product will become a global product in the future.

Li Zhongxin knows very well that the sales volume of instant noodles in China is definitely a very scary figure. He remembers that in later generations he accidentally heard a broadcast in the financial news that by 2017, the national retail sales of instant noodles will exceed 80 billion yuan.

You can imagine how much instant noodles 80 billion yuan represents.

With such a vast market and such a huge piece of cake, Li Zhongxin wants to take the lead in occupying part of it.

Japanese instant noodle companies use mature assembly line operations. If they want to do it here, they must also do that kind of super large-scale assembly line production. They must not do it in a small way, or they will not do it. If they want to do it, they must invest in a very large instant noodle company.

manufacturer.

Regarding things like the assembly line production process of instant noodles, later generations of Li Zhongxin also visited the Nissin Group's assembly line production process of instant noodles when he visited the instant noodles museum in Japan. The production process of noodle cakes is not complicated, it just has a few more processes.

The instant noodle production line consists of a brine mixer, a brine metering device, a two-shaft two-speed dough mixer, a disk aging machine, a composite calender, a multi-layer noodle steaming machine, a square noodle cutting and sorting machine, a frying machine, and an air cooler.

Conveyor, etc.

In the fully enclosed sterile workshop, there are eight giant flour storage tanks and four palm oil storage tanks. The entire production is completed by a complete set of automated machines that cycle. The raw materials do not fall to the ground or come into contact. They are equipped with matching forks, coatings,

The preparation and placement of noodle bowls are done in one go on the production line, avoiding secondary contamination throughout the process.

The giant "dough kneading robot" continuously prepares flour automatically, and the kneaded dough is transferred to the dough making area. In the "rolling out" link, the up and down telescopic pressure tubes evenly press the flour belt into a long belt shape. In the "wave making" link

, by slowing down the transportation speed, the noodles are piled up to form a curved "several" shape.

After being cut into noodles of uniform weight, the noodles will be dropped directly into a box-shaped container and transported by a conveyor belt to the frying area of ​​instant noodles for regular frying.

In terms of oil control, instant noodles after frying also need special machines to carry out oil control measures to remove all excess oil from the instant noodles.

Imported palm oil with good stability, and unlike ordinary fried foods, the frying box of Zhongxin Instant Noodle Factory is completely sealed to isolate the oil from oxygen and avoid oxidative rancidity. According to one production line, nearly 1,000 yuan per minute

The production line runs 24 hours a day to ensure the speed of the noodle cakes, constantly replenishing, filtering, and updating new oil, and regularly conducts spot tests on the oil to ensure that the oil on the production line is always in a fresh state.

"The oil in the frying tank forms a "living oil" system just like the water in the Yangtze River. It is completely replaced every 12 hours to keep it fresh."

In terms of labor, in Li Zhongxin's eyes, such a large instant noodle processing factory does not require too many workers. Flour and oil are transferred to flour storage tanks through the assembly line. If workers are needed, it is nothing more than instant noodles.

After packaging, weighing and random inspection may require some manpower, and the entire process is completed automatically.
