Chapter 424 We don’t export goods, but we can export standards
Ideal city.
In front of a spacious door, Fang Chang stopped, looked at the envelope in his hand, opened it, took out a card, and swiped it on the door. A blue ripple spread along the door lock and clicked.
There was a sound and the door opened backwards.
What comes into view is a spacious reception room. There are several sofas on the black, white and gray plaid carpet. The simple and elegant decoration has a corporate style.
Ge. In this crowded city, spaciousness itself is a luxury.
A woman of about twenty-five or sixty-six was sitting on the sofa in the middle. She was wearing a silver coat. What was impressive was her pair of slender legs and her pretty face.
eyebrows.
Those two delicate eyebrows are like soft crescent moons, but they cannot hide those heroic eyes and the radiant light in them. Most of the people who can attend this party are the upper class people of Ideal City.
And from her aura, Fang Chang could feel that this woman was at least a rich woman. At least.
"Hello, Ms. Li Shuyue, I've kept you waiting for a long time." Fang Chang made the opening remarks in a gentlemanly manner since he was a guest anyway. The woman sitting on the sofa said
He made a gesture of invitation and said in a pleasant voice.
"You don't have to be so polite, warrior of the alliance. I have disturbed your rest. Please feel free to sit down." "Then I won't be polite."
Fang Chang smiled lightly and found a sofa not too far away to sit on. The waiter brought tea to the two of them.
There was a fragrance in the mist. It smelled very light, but it had a refreshing comfort. The two chatted for a while, but they only talked about insignificant topics.
What's very interesting is that Fang Chang can feel that she is different from those rich ladies on the dance floor. There is no emotion of admiration or curiosity in her twinkling eyes. The admiring eyes are more like encouraging him to continue talking.
Is it to examine the alliance’s investment environment?
Thinking of this, Fang Chang couldn't help but pick up his spirits, no longer restrained, and started to talk about the train, from the development of the alliance to the individuals in the alliance. For example, the vines in the small workshop he ran were praised by him as an art master.
.
Crow Crow, a strong person in the perception system who wanders around like a street kid all day long, was blown away by him into a mushroom craftsman who pursues the most perfect mushrooms. The scrambled eggs with tomatoes became the descendant of the scrambled egg family who mastered 888 lost recipes, and Irena became
To explore edible xenobiotics
Even the moron Mosquito was blown away by him into a rocket scientist and manager who dreams of exploring the edge of the galaxy.
The manager didn't seem to need him to brag about it. The figure riding the Claw of Death and bathing in the sunshine that broke through the dark clouds was full of character. I heard that there is already a movie studio in Ideal City, and they plan to use him as a prototype for filming.
Movie.
I don't know if he knows about this himself.
When bragging, Fang Chang didn't have any psychological burden at all. After all, it's more than 3,000 kilometers away from the Alliance. Even if you are curious, it's impossible for everyone to go there. "Wait a minute, what are the 888 lost recipes."
"listen:
After waiting for a long time, Li Shuyue seemed to be most interested in this and asked curiously.
Fang Chang said with a smile.
"Well, there's so much content that I can't finish it in a short while. Among the food-related items that appeared in previous auctions, most of them have something to do with the recipe." "Including this one?"
While speaking, Li Shuyue reached out and took out a pack of instant noodles from the drawer of the table next to her, her eyes filled with curiosity. When she saw the Laokeng Pickled Cabbage Instant Noodles in her hand, Fang Chang's expression suddenly became awkward.
"Well, this was caused by mosquitoes." Li Shuyue frowned.
"But doesn't he dream of becoming a rocket scientist who reaches the Kuiper Belt?" Fang Chang explained quickly.
"This is a work of his interest. Although his main job is to tinker with rockets, he occasionally comes up with some strange things like this one in your hand." Oops, that's too much bragging. It seems to be a bit misleading.
Ah. Fang Chang thought to himself.
However, Ms. Li Shuyue didn't seem to notice any flaws in the story. She just sighed softly after being silent for a while. "It's incredible. It seems that the rumor is indeed not unfounded."
Fang Chang was stunned for a moment.
"Rumors? What rumors?"
"Someone discussed on Duandian Cloud that the ancestors of Shelter 404 were all artists," Li Shuyue said with a smile, "I didn't believe it at first, but now I do." Fang Chang coughed.
"Although I don't know where you heard this rumor from, there is nothing wrong with saying so! We did inherit something special from the People's Federation, especially at the cultural level."
After hearing what he said, Li Shuyue's eyes became brighter and brighter.
However, Fang Chang could feel that she did not completely believe what she said, at most she believed half of it. But what does it matter?
An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He had already predicted her prediction. Did he half believe it?
That's really believable
As if she had grasped the information she wanted to know, Li Shuyue suddenly changed her expression and said with a serious look. "Let me introduce myself again. I am the CEO of Ruyue Group. This is my business card."
With a slight stroke of his slender fingertips, the light blue holographic window turned into a white coffee table and floated in front of Fang Chang. Fang Chang, who only thought it was a game special effect, was not surprised. He dragged the business card to himself with his index finger.
I took a look in front of me.
But he soon discovered that it was all in vain. He didn’t know anything about Ideal City and couldn’t understand what was written on this business card. Ruyue Group?
Aren’t there only five major groups in Ideal City?
Our company is invested and controlled by the Ideal Group and is mainly engaged in food sales and processing related industries." Looking at Fang Chang, who was lost in thought while looking at the business card, Li Shuyue continued in a pleasant voice.
"To be honest, this is the first time I have seen such an interesting product. Although it is not very healthy and the shelf life is not very long, it tastes surprisingly good. How did you come up with these novel cooking methods?"
Fang Chang's expression was a little subtle. After thinking for a moment, he made up a reason that sounded like that.
"For us, food belongs to the category of culture. Eating is not only to meet nutritional needs, but also a kind of spiritual satisfaction." "This sounds very interesting." Li Shuyue said with interest.
"I have consulted historical documents, and similar cooking techniques have appeared in history. However, they were gradually replaced by scientific concepts in the early Prosperous Era. Then the food concept was like ours now. According to you, it was just to satisfy nutritional needs.
demand."
"Maybe it's because the spiritual world of people after the Prosperous Era has been rich enough and they no longer need to sacrifice health or other things to gain satisfaction. Of course, this is just my personal guess."
Fang Chang just said it casually, but unexpectedly, the lady named Li Shuyue nodded thoughtfully. "This is an interesting idea. Maybe the truth is as you said." "Maybe, but I
After all, I'm not an expert." Fang Chang said in a casual tone after taking a sip of black tea.
"But I feel you know it very well. I found out from your ambassador that you are not only a soldier, but also responsible for the promotion of alliance products." Li Shuyue looked at him with bright eyes, "Are you interested in cooperating?"
After working on it for a long time, it turned out that it was because of this that I found myself.
Hearing Li Shuyue's words, Fang Chang showed a happy smile on his face. Isn't this what he was waiting for?
"Of course, we are here to seek cooperation. I wonder which method you want to use?" Li Shuyue said without any nonsense.
"Based on our market research, we believe that the next six months will be the best window period for alliance products to enter Ideal City. The residents here are very interested in your cultural products. I think food will be a good entry point."
"We can provide two sets of plans here. The first set of plans is that you are responsible for production and transportation, and we are responsible for sales. The second set of plans is that we set up a joint venture subsidiary, and you provide personnel and technology, especially related food formulas, and we
Provide funds and space to produce and sell locally in Ideal City."
After listening quietly to the detailed explanations of the two plans, Fang Chang nodded slightly. "No problem, we can provide everything you mentioned." Li Shuyue was happy in her heart, but it did not show on her face, she just smiled.
However, just when she was about to use "please cooperate" to bring the topic to the contract, the man opposite suddenly changed the subject and said. "However, compared to the two plans you provided, I have a better one.
I wonder if you are interested in the proposal?"
The excitement was poured with cold water, and Li Shuyue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. "Oh?"
To be honest, she didn't think that a commercially backward survivor settlement could come up with any novel ideas. But -
Let's first listen to what he plans to say.
Not paying attention to the disapproval in his eyes, Fang Chang cleared his throat and began his deception.
"Whether it is exporting products or starting to export formulas, it is actually not in our best interest. After all, those formulas are not very difficult to be honest. If our products can really sell out of stock in Ideal City, I am afraid we will not be able to use them.
In two days, your competitors can refer to your sales data and come up with a competing product that better meets market demand."
Li Shuyue said immediately.
"You can rest assured that we have complete patent laws, and we also have our own R&D laboratory, and we will improve our formulas based on feedback from the market and consumers. As long as we do it faster and better than our competitors, we don't have to worry about being replaced.
"
Fang Chang nodded and said simply.
"Of course, what you said makes sense, but let me make an assumption. If the subsequent formula is completed in Ruyue Group, does it still have anything to do with our joint venture subsidiary?" A trace of surprise appeared on Li Shuyue's face, and she looked heroic.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"Oh? Are you worried that we won't keep our word?" Fang Chang said in a gentle voice.
"Of course I didn't mean that, it was just a reasonable assumption. You have technical advantages and know the local market and rules better than we do. You can completely
Maximize interests within the framework of the rules. To be honest, if there is a contractual dispute,
Fen, I really have no confidence that I can defeat you."
Li Shuyue said impatiently. "So what is your proposal?"
"It is unrealistic to use expensive transportation capacity to transport cheap consumer goods, and the formula itself is not that valuable. We do not intend to export products, nor do we intend to export formulas, but export standards." "Standards?"
Looking at Li Shuyue who hesitated, Fang Chang nodded and said simply, "That's right."
Li Shuyue frowned and said, "Can you be more specific?"
"To be specific, it's telling stories."
Seeing the confused expression on her face, Fang Chang smiled and threw out the words he had prepared long ago.
Good rhetoric.
"For example, Coke, this thing actually has no technical content, but Nuka-Cola sold in Boulder City is better than Vega Cola or other colas, because the managers of the alliance even recommended it in public as a substitute for alcohol, because the alliance's
When the awakened people drink it, the mercenaries will wonder if they can also awaken after drinking that thing."
"Another example is fried chicken. The technical content is even lower, but as long as we are willing, it can annihilate a division of the army tomorrow. I mean an army of ten thousand people. Another example is the pack of instant noodles in your hand, although to be honest, I don't like it very much.
Eat, but as long as we need it, it can also become our military food and then they will sell well on the endpoint cloud. Can you understand what I say?"
Listening to Fang Chang's vivid description, Li Shuyue looked at the man in front of her with interest. Good guy, even the wastelanders know the brand effect? It's not about taste or nutrition, but about using cultural added value.
Consumer's wallet.
If this is the case, it would be really difficult for her company to kick him away after developing the market and upgrading the product. After all, what is valuable is no longer the patent and formula, but the inherent impression in the minds of consumers.
In fact, the reason why Ideal City's products sell well in the wasteland is not only because of the technology, but also the brand influence behind it. And she has indeed considered doing this to create a product with alliance characteristics.
Best-selling brands use higher barriers to restrict the entry of competitors and harvest the wallets of Ideal City residents.
However, she originally planned to do this after the Kisaragi Group had thoroughly digested the partner's technology.
After all, it was better to keep this kind of hen that lays golden eggs in her own hands. There was no need to let others get a share of the pie. But she didn't expect that the ambition of the person in front of her was so great.
He had just arrived in Ideal City from that remote country, and he had already thought about turning the alliance's products into a best-selling brand from Ideal. "It's interesting." There was a hint of appreciation in Li Shuyue's eyes.
She has met many wastelanders.
Most of those people are rude, short-sighted, and cunning. They don’t have great cleverness, but they always have small cleverness. However, this cannot be blamed on them. After all, in a precarious environment like the wasteland, people with a long-term vision may not even survive until next month.
.
Being able to consider such long-term things, this guy is really smart. Do you want to do the same?
But even if they don't agree, they can probably find someone else to cooperate. Thinking that she was complimenting her proposal, Fang Chang had a happy smile on her face. "It seems that we have reached a consensus, then let's talk about cooperation."
The details are fine, such as how to sell this standard."
Li Shuyue stared at that face for a while, and suddenly said something that had nothing to do with business. "Although we generally do not give permanent residence to wastelanders, there are exceptions in certain circumstances."
She naturally changed her sitting position, her right leg gently resting on her left knee, and the corners of her plump lips curled up into a smile. I suddenly fell in love with you, have you considered settling in Ideal City?"
Although the tone was joking, the expression didn't seem like a joke. Fang Chang admitted that the proposal was indeed very attractive.
Life here is indeed very beautiful. Compared with the wasteland world, it is like a different game. But-
"It's an honor for me to be appreciated by you, but I already have a place in my heart."
Looking at the polite man in front of her, Li Shuyue was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that her proposal would be rejected. However, she was just stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly and said indifferently.
"Don't get me wrong, what I like is just your business ability. Let's get down to business, let's talk about the details of cooperation." Appreciation is appreciation, but it is just appreciation.
It's like passing by a store window and seeing a fashionable luxury product.
She didn't mind swiping her card to buy it, but she wouldn't queue up at the door like the nouveau riche.
With her assets, family, and appearance, she didn't have to fight for any man she wanted. However, this guy's innocent look still made her a little annoyed.
Don't you think I'm attractive at all?
He didn't take that sarcasm to heart. Fang Chang just smiled lightly, crossed his fingers on his knees, and said calmly. "Of course, when I say my heart belongs, I mean that my heart already belongs to the alliance."
"Then as you wish, let's talk about the specific details of cooperation."
.........The long dividing line...the lounge next to the banquet hall.
The mole was slumped on the sofa, wearing virtual reality glasses and having a great time.
Suddenly, the colorful lights and shadows flashed and disappeared without a trace from his eyes. The blank-eyed Mole looked up and saw that the glasses were in Fang Chang's hand.
"What are you playing? You are so involved."
Seeing that Fang Chang was about to put on his glasses, Mole quickly reached out and snatched the glasses back, smiling sheepishly while sweating profusely. "I just played some ordinary games, and I flipped through the endpoint cloud.
of."
It is true that they are residents of "Utopia", and the people here are really open-minded. Fang Chang asked curiously.
"Is it fun?" "It's so so, not really fun, but playing a virtual reality game in a virtual reality game is beyond my expectation." While saying this, Mole couldn't help but praise him. He said something,
These days, major manufacturers are playing games with their feet, using their butts to make DIC, and using their brains to make money. They are doing it over and over again, but they just refuse to come up with new tricks.
It is the conscience of the industry to be able to single out an in-game Easter egg like this and make it a masterpiece released by an independent masterpiece. I must brag about Aguang, it is indeed a 100% real virtual reality game.
This is too real! "In short, the operability is OK, the degree of freedom is OK, the content is quite large, but it is not realistic enough." Fang Chang was stunned for a moment, and then asked after a moment of silence
Is this game serious?"
"Pfft, what are you thinking about? It's just a normal RPG game. Have you ever played Freelancer? The kind that looks like a spaceship!" Mole looked at the expression on his face and knew that this guy was definitely thinking wrong.
He quickly changed the subject, "No more nonsense, why are you back so soon?"
"We only talked about business?" Mole looked at this guy suspiciously, "I don't believe it." Fang Chang rolled his eyes, not bothering to explain to him, and found a place to sit down casually.
Of course he would not tell this guy that he had just negotiated a deal worth hundreds of millions for the alliance.
Ruyue Group, controlled by Ideal Group, plans to invest 100 million cr to establish a joint venture with Niu Ma Group, a chain catering institution "Chang Yue" catering. The brands currently confirmed include "Kenda Chicken" fast food restaurant, which mainly provides fried chicken and cola, and "Nu Ma Group"
"Hot pot restaurant.
Export "prepared dishes"? Sell instant noodles?
Of course you can do that kind of business, but the profit is too low, and he really doesn't like it.
Moreover, the food safety standards in Ideal City are too high, and ordinary food cannot be brought in at all. In addition, the alliance's own food is far from surplus. Rather than importing food here from the alliance, it is better to produce it locally.
As Fang Chang said, export standards.
The plan that has been finalized is that the "Changyue" Group will send employees to the alliance, and the Niuma Group will be responsible for arranging training for these employees. After the training, they will return to Ideal City to serve as chefs and store managers. Still immersed in the game just now, Mole
After thinking about it for a while, he stared at the glasses in his hand and suddenly said, "By the way, I found this virtual reality game to be interesting. It's just that the gameplay is too simple." Fang Chang glanced at him.
"How much more enrichment can there be?"
Mole: "It's not a matter of adding more content. Let me give you an example. I just played about three RPG games, one with an interstellar theme, one with a fantasy theme, and one that was probably an alternate history. All three games are
It’s an open world type like Lao Gun. The map is the best, the skills are the most dazzling, the NPCs can interact easily, and the degree of freedom is the highest. But the selling points of the three games are the same, which is outrageous!"
Fang Chang glanced at him.
"Isn't that good? If it existed in reality, I would buy it all." Even the Easter eggs are made in such detail?
In the past, Brother Guang boasted to him, saying that most of the content in "Wasteland OL" was automatically generated based on the player's cognition and dreams. He didn't believe it at the time. Now it seems that it is really not a bragging.
He should experience it when he has time.
Anticipating Fang Changhui's reaction, Qian Shu made a helpless expression.
"That's what I say, but it's boring to have this type of game on the entire game platform. I don't see games like moba and chicken fighting at all. Are they outdated?" Fang Chang was slightly stunned.
.
Although this may sound a bit outrageous, he seems to have found another way to make money.
Early the next morning, a ray of sunlight filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the CEO's office on the top floor of a building in a huge building complex.
Looking at the draft contract in her hand, Li Shuyue, who was leaning on the office chair, faced the steel forest emerging from the clouds, holding a cup of coffee in her hand, and took a sip with a frown. 100 million Gr.
This budget is only a small amount for the parent company Ideal Group, but it is
It was not too small for the Ruyue Group. After thinking for a moment, she stretched out her index finger and lightly traced it on the table. The light blue holographic window was projected in front of her, interweaving a three-dimensional composition of the bust.
Using a smooth electronic voice, Assistant Al said softly, "Dear boss, what are your orders?"
She said concisely and concisely.
"Get me a plane ticket to the southern part of Vale."
With a distance of 3,000 kilometers, no matter how real the news is, it will be spread out of shape. If she doesn't go there to take a look, she will never feel at ease. Assistant Al reminded.
"The company does not have regular flights to the southern part of the Valley Province. According to the relevant provisions of Resolution 1001, renting aircraft capacity needs to fill in a form to declare, explain the relevant reasons, and issue relevant certificates."
Li Shuyue said casually.
"Just write down whatever you want for me. Just fill in the market research as the reason." The virtual image floating on the desk nodded slightly.
