After the sales department of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. became active, other departments also had a corresponding linkage effect.
Lu Hao, who was responsible for overseeing the overall situation of the food factory, called Li Mumu over alone. The two chatted quietly in Lu Hao's office for a long time, and finally reached an agreement. Li Mumu immediately returned to the production department to hold a meeting with all managers.
went.
In addition, Li Mumu arranged for two people to drive out in a company van.
Lu Chen went to find Xia Zekai.
Unlike last month when I often didn't see Xia Zekai, after entering May, Xia Zekai spent most of his time in the factory during the day, and even occasionally came over on Saturdays and weekends.
"Dangdang"
Lu Hao knocked twice on the door of the east side office on the third floor. Xia Zekai was reading documents. He looked up and saw Lu Hao standing at the door. He waved: "Old Lu, come in quickly. What do you want to do today?"
"Boss, I just discussed with Manager Li and planned to allocate a group of people to develop new products. Now that the factory area is enough and the production volume has increased, we are fully capable of developing other new products."
"Furthermore, Jiahe Food has made soluble beans and wants to grab our soluble beans market. Why can't we grab the market for its other products?" Lu Huan asked rhetorically.
There is nothing wrong with saying this!
Xia Zekai gave Lu Huan a thumbs up in his heart and asked, "Have you decided what product to make?"
Lu Chen nodded sincerely: "We are going to restart the sandwich biscuits we were considering before, but that one is not suitable for the market, and the formula needs to be re-researched."
There are also several new products that I have been thinking about during the time I was in charge of the new factory, but have not yet been tested. I am also going to give them a try.
"Is there anything else?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Lu Hao nodded again: "Yes, I have thought about it. Since Jiahe learns from us in making rongdou, why can't we in turn learn from Jiahe's best-selling products and learn more..."
"Well, not bad!" Xia Zekai smiled and showed approval.
After finishing his words, he added: "But we still have to make our own popular products, otherwise it will be difficult to gain a foothold."
This is true.
Lu Chen nodded: "Don't worry, boss, I understand."
"By the way, have you bought the products from Jiahe?"
"Manager Li has already arranged for someone to do this. I will bring it over when I buy the things." Lu Hao said.
He had just been discussing with Li Mumu for a long time, and this was one of them.
In the afternoon, Lu Huan came over carrying two big bags full of things.
He said to Xia Zekai: "Boss, this is the Jiahe product that the arranger just bought."
When Xia Zekai heard this, he became interested. He waved and said, "Bring it here and let me take a look."
Lu Hao placed two full bags of food in front of Xia Zekai. There was a pile of sealed bags of various colors and shapes. The bags were all written in Korean, but there was a 5cm sticker on the lower right corner of the back.
A piece of white paper the size of a square, Xia Zekai picked up one of the bags of products and looked carefully at the contents on the bag.
He doesn't know Korean, but he knows Chinese written on the white paper in the lower right corner of the packaging bag.
Upon entering, you can see 'cream biscuits' written in bold black on the white paper. There is also a smaller font below, which says the recipe, nutritional content, etc. of the biscuits. It also says Korean Jiahe's authorization and production address.
One column says China Qingcheng Jiahe Food Factory...
When he saw this, Xia Zekai felt an inexplicable irritability, feeling that this was 'Made in China'.
"Lao Lu, find Rongdou and let me take a look." Xia Zekai thought of something and said quickly.
Lu Hao didn't dare to delay, and quickly pulled out the bag containing the melted beans from the full product.
Xia Zekai didn't take a closer look at the packaging bags written in Korean. He looked directly at the white paper at the back. It clearly said 'Soluble Solid Beverage-Rongdou' on the top, and the formula and nutritional content of Rongdou were written on the bottom.
As well as product shelf life and other information, it turns out that the production site is the same as the production site just now, both in Qingcheng, China.
Speaking of which, they were all from the same province. Xia Zekai thought that the enemy was right next to him!
"Lao Lu, did you see that the factory is in our province? It's ridiculous that we were careless and never paid attention to it." Xia Zekai laughed at himself.
This time I was really careless and made a big mistake.
Lu Hao also quickly picked up a package of products and looked at the Chinese characters on the white paper at the back. It clearly said Qingcheng Jiahe Food Co., Ltd.
Lu Chan secretly blamed himself for ignoring such a big thing.
"Boss, this is all my fault. I was careless." Lu Han felt very guilty.
Xia Zekai waved his hand: "I'm not holding you accountable. What are you talking about? Lao Lu, your task now is to quickly develop several new products and put them on the market to test the waters."
"In addition, in addition to Jiahe, you should also pay attention to other food brands. I think Jiahe is definitely not the only one following suit in the market. There may be other food factories secretly watching to give us a fatal blow."
What Xia Zekai said was quite bluffing, but Lu Chen didn't laugh. He knew that the boss was right.
When a wolf bites someone, look for a loophole and bite, bite until death, no one will give you a chance to make a comeback.
After Xia Zekai finished speaking, Lu Wei was about to go out and make new plans. Xia Zekai said again: "Also, our packaging cost is high and it has not yet been implemented. I think Jiahe's sealed packaging method is quite good.
Yes, the storage time can be longer. You should also consider this issue when you go back. Next, our production will increase, and we must consider cost savings from all aspects."
"Yeah, I'll do it right away." Lu Chen agreed.
After saying that, Lu Huan was about to leave again, but Xia Zekai called out to him again this time.
"Lao Lu, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Here, take half of these snacks back and give them to others to try to see if they are any different from our products."
As he spoke, Xia Zekai tore open the packaging bag containing the rong beans in his hand. He poured out a few round small rong beans from the bag, put them into his mouth one by one, chewed them slowly, and tasted them.
product differences.
After a while, he handed the torn packaging bag to Lu Chen and said, "Lao Lu, you should try it too. The melted beans they make taste quite good. They melt in your mouth and there is no obvious residue.
It’s almost the same as our products.”
Hearing Xia Zekai's comments, Lu Huan quickly took a few pills and tasted them. From his professional point of view, it was exactly what Xia Zekai said. He knew that this was more than enough for children.
"Come on, take apart the other products and try them out." Xia Zekai went to take apart other products.
Lu Hao also followed suit in unpacking the other products, and the two of them tore open a large bag of products in a short time. It didn't matter if you couldn't eat it. He planned to take the rest to others later.
Xia Zekai was very interested in a rice cake made by Jiahe Food.
This product is original, that is, it has no taste, pure rice cake flavor, and is dense and hard. When Xia Zekai tasted it, it was not easy for his teeth to bite off a piece, but after it was stained with saliva, the rice cake quickly became
It melted into a paste without any particles.
"Lao Lu, try this rice cake, it's fucking amazing. I remember there is a product called a teething stick. Do you think this thing is similar to a teething stick for a baby, but the effect is better than a teething stick?
.”
Lu Chen tasted it and found that it was indeed what his boss said. He had to nod his head to admit it.
"Boss, what are you doing?" Lu Chen asked.
Xia Zekai nodded heavily: "We will definitely do it, but we have to innovate and we cannot completely copy their products. If that's the case, what's the point of COPY?"
Speaking of this, Xia Zekai remembered something and said, "And the chocolate bar biscuit you told me about last time, do you still remember it? I'll try to make that one too."
In his memory, Pocky's product was very popular among children's food, and he had seen it specifically. There was no similar product at the moment, so if he didn't do it now, he would do it.
It's too late to wait for Pocky to come out.
Lu Chen also remembered that it was a product he developed when he first joined Jingtong Food Factory, but because the factory's production capacity was limited at the time, it was not launched in the end.
Now the conditions are perfect in all aspects. If Xia Zekai hadn't mentioned this, Lu Huan would have almost forgotten about it.
He quickly said: "I'll get it right away."
"Well, Lao Lu, please work harder during this time and come up with the finished product as soon as possible." Xia Zekai said.
This is a clear way of saying it, but a dark way of saying it is to work more overtime...
After Lu Chen left Xia Zekai's office, Xia Zekai looked at the time and it was four-ten.
He has to leave quickly, otherwise Yatou and Tongtong will have to wait for him again.
Just like that, when Xia Zekai drove quickly and slowly to the kindergarten affiliated to the municipal primary school, it was already past four-thirty.
After he passed by, he saw Yatou and Tongtong playing on the slide in the kindergarten yard through the gap in the door. In addition to the two of them, there were a dozen other children in the yard who had not been picked up.
There were two female teachers watching over the children.
"Girl, Tongtong, come here quickly!" Xia Zekai said hello to the teacher, and then called the two sisters.
As soon as the two heard their father's voice, they ran over immediately: "Dad, dad!"
"Dad, why did you come here? I've already been playing on the slide."
"Dad, can I play for a while longer before leaving?"
The two little sisters were so addicted to playing that they didn't want to leave.
But the teachers also had to get off work. They had embarrassed expressions on their faces, and they couldn't just tell the children to leave.
Xia Zekai didn't make things difficult for them, and said to the two girls: "Let's go back to the community and play again, okay?"
"Okay, but there are a lot of children playing over there, but there are fewer children here." The girl muttered.
Xia Zekai understood. His eldest son disliked the fact that there were so many children playing on the slides there. She couldn't even play a few times while taking turns.
Tongtong smiled: "Sister, let's grab it and beat whoever doesn't play with it."
