Chapter 114 Adapting measures to local conditions, changing the original plan
Zhang Yue looked at Wu Dachuan strangely: "The taste is wrong? What's wrong?"

"The taste is wrong, this taste is much better than I imagined."

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "It's normal to taste delicious, right? I used an exclusive recipe."

Wu Dachuan still shook his head: "It's definitely not about the exclusive formula.

This kind of duck meat gives me the same feeling as freshly slaughtered fresh meat, and I can't tell the difference at all.

In order to increase the umami taste of frozen meat, most food factories will add freshness enhancers.

But as long as you taste carefully, you can still find the difference between the two.

Not only that, this meatball does not seem to contain sweeteners, thickeners, anticaking agents, antifoaming agents, bleaching agents, leavening agents, coloring agents, emulsifiers, flavor enhancers, stabilizers, coagulants, Antioxidants, acidity regulators, humectants..."

Hearing him talking non-stop, Shi Manman hastily interrupted:
"Master Wu, wait a moment.

You mean, the meatballs we usually eat contain these things? "

Wu Dachuan said with a smile: "It's not just meatballs, most instant meats are added with various additives to enhance the taste.

Especially those fried skewers and grilled sausages at roadside stalls, no one would eat them without adding them. "

"But that's too much, right? You said 15 of them."

I don't know whether to tease Shi Manman deliberately because of Shi Manman's bad face, or to tell the truth, Wu Dachuan said lightly:

"What I just said is just the classification of additives.

The food additives allowed to be used in the announcement of the Ministry of Health can be divided into 23 categories, and there are more if the additives themselves are specific.

Up to now, there are 2429, and it is still increasing. "

"Two thousand... more than one kind?"

"Yes, but you don't have to worry too much, this is just the whole category, there are not so many single foods.

Merchants also have to consider the cost, right?Generally speaking, there are only three or four hundred kinds! "

Shi Manman was so choked that she almost rolled her eyes, she said with a mournful face, "I will never go to food stalls again."

Wu Dachuan teased the little girl a few words, then looked at the peeing cow ball in front of him again, with a solemn expression:

"That's what puzzled me.

If food wants to taste good, it is mainly because of the role of those additives.

But I can't find any additives in these meatballs.

But it is indeed more delicious than those ingredients with additives.

Of course, beef flavor and shrimp flavor are strictly speaking not additives.

They just provide the beef and shrimp texture to this fake pee beef ball. "

He looked at Wu Dachuan who was full of bewilderment, and Wu Qingshan who was drooling beside him.

Shi Manman gritted her teeth suddenly, picked up a pissing cow ball and put it in her mouth.

Suddenly she jumped three feet high, looking at Zhang Yue's eyes full of shock:

"Boss, you...were you the chef of Haidilao before?

I have only eaten such delicious meatballs in Haidilao... It is said that their meatballs are purely artificial.

No, Haidilao's meatballs are not as delicious as this kind of meatballs. "

As he spoke, he picked one for Zhan Susu and Liu Shihan: "Try it too, it's really delicious."

Seeing Shi Manman's excited look, the second daughter took a bite out of doubt.

Then the three women started a fight to grab the urinating beef balls. In an instant, a plate of meatballs made by Wu Dachuan was eaten up.

While chewing the food in his mouth, Shi Manman said, "Master Wu, what are you doing in a daze?
Keep doing it, aren't you in charge of production?

These meatballs are simply not enough to eat. "

Wu Dachuan: "..."

He had no choice but to look at Zhang Yue, Zhang Yue smiled slightly: "Then you do it!

It's almost noon now, so our lunch is settled here directly.

And in addition to peeing beef balls, I also prepared fish balls, mutton balls, pork balls, and various vegetarian balls. "

Wu Qingshan suggested: "It's better to have a self-service hot pot, and add some garlic, chives, sesame sauce and other dipping sauces, the taste will definitely be better.

Not far from our factory to the north is the vegetable market.

There is a grain and oil store inside, and the sesame paste sold is very authentic. "

Shi Manman said: "Then why are you still standing there? Slip away!"

"okay!"

Even Zhang Yue himself didn't expect that he called the management of Shiyue Food Factory together to discuss the next production and sales plan.

It turned out to be a group building dinner by accident.

Of course, he does not object to this situation.

Shiyue Food Factory is in the business of making food. Sitting together and having a big meal is definitely more effective than holding a PowerPoint lecture.

Wu Qingshan came back soon, and brought a lot of beer and drinks along the way, which seemed to be a standard foodie.

Zhang Yue is also ready.

Everyone sat down casually, and started eating without saying a word.

We ate from 11:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm. Because we drank a lot of beer, the three men present were all a bit smug.

Looking at the table full of messy cups and plates, Zhang Yue smiled and said, "How are you, are you full?"

Wu Qingshan burped: "I'm full, although today I'm not leaning on the wall to get in, but I'm sure I have to lean on the wall to get out.

The last time I went to Hainan with a few brothers to eat seafood buffet at 1000 yuan per person, we didn’t eat so much. "

Wu Qingshan loosened the belt again, and found that it was too loose, so he rubbed his belly helplessly.

The three ladies were rather reserved, but it could be seen from their expressions that they couldn't eat anymore.

Zhang Yue said: "Since we are full, let's talk about the development plan for October.

Old Wu, I think you already have an idea. "

Old Wu nodded: "I do have some ideas.

But before that, I want to ask a question.

How did you achieve the taste of these meatballs? "

Wu Dachuan thought that Zhang Yue just made the peeing beef balls delicious, but waited until he ate fish balls, shrimp balls, and beef balls.

I found that all the meatballs are equally delicious, which makes people linger.

Otherwise, with his pickiness, it is absolutely impossible to eat so much.

Zhang Yue took out a small bottle: "The secret is in it, I call it Juewei.

You can also understand it as an additive, of course, this additive is extracted from natural animals and plants.

It can not only ensure the deliciousness of the food itself, but also has a strong antiseptic effect.

The most important thing is that it is non-toxic and pollution-free, and has no side effects. "

"Is it that kind of green liquid?" Wu Dachuan quickly took it for inspection.

Zhang Yue nodded.

"Good stuff, really good stuff.

I couldn't even imagine that there is such a special additive in meatball food. "

Zhang Yue immediately corrected: "You are wrong again, Juewei is not only useful for meatballs, it is useful for any food.

As long as you want, even freshly slaughtered live chickens and ducks can be put in a little to enhance freshness. "

"What? All food is useful?" Wu Dachuan stood up in surprise.

But because the movement was too violent, his overfed stomach was squeezed and swayed non-stop, so frightened that he sat down quickly again.

Zhang Yue nodded: "Yes, it's just that it's not easy to extract Juewei, and it's a bit wasteful to use it on already delicious live chicken and duck."

Wu Dachuan was silent for a long time before he said, "Boss, can I have an opinion?"

Zhang Yue: "What opinion?"

"I very much agree with your original intention of making and selling all kinds of meatballs.

But I don't think it's a hassle for now.

I prefer to continue to make Risheng's original signature, the semi-finished fried chicken!
Of course, the fried chicken recipe needed a twist.

Remove all the original additives and replace them all with Juewei.

There are many advantages to doing this.

First of all, Risheng's semi-finished fried chicken sales channels are very mature.

Offline, especially online, you basically only need a phone call or even a message.

The list is there immediately.

It can help you raise a lot of money in a short period of time.

Secondly, since Risheng had no basis for selling meatballs before, it took a lot of time to lay out production lines or establish new channels.

Once the semi-finished fried chicken is discarded, we have to start all over again.

This will undoubtedly greatly increase the risk of profitability.

And even if it can make a profit, it will take a year or two.

In a year or two, you may have to continue to invest money in it.

Finally, if we operate semi-finished fried chicken first, we can also use this as a channel to sell meatballs to those roadside stalls and snack bars at the same time.

Anyway, they are all snacks. It is definitely better to run two businesses than just one.

Once the reputation is established, the sales problem will be solved directly with the delicious meatballs. "

After Wu Dachuan finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Yue cautiously.

His identity is sensitive, and the question he asked completely violated Zhang Yue's original intention, so he was very nervous.

Zhang Yue pondered for a moment, then walked up to Wu Dachuan: "Old Wu, how much is your monthly salary?"

Wu Dachuan didn't expect Zhang Yue to ask such a question, he whispered: "The contract says 7995 yuan/month.

Before, my salary in Risheng was 6150 yuan/month, and you added 30% to me...

In fact, my ability is average, and I don't deserve this much money at all.

Other people's wages are increased by 20% on the original basis, or I will also become 20%?
If it doesn't work, 15% will do. "

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yue turned to Zhan Susu and said, "Raise Lao Wu's salary to 18000 yuan/month."

Wu Dachuan was taken aback for a moment, his face full of disbelief: "Mr. Zhang, this..."

Zhang Yue suddenly laughed loudly: "Old Wu, what you just said is very good.

That's right, I did not think carefully about setting the main product of October Food Factory as meatballs.

Now it's just right to switch to fried chicken.

If you have any opinions in the future, don't hide them, just say them directly.

That's right, I have a bonus.

It doesn’t matter if you say something wrong, just don’t accept it at most! "

Wu Dachuan finally came back to his senses, his expression excited: "Thank you Mr. Zhang, I will know everything in the future."

Zhang Yue nodded, feeling a little rejoiced.

Fortunately, Wu Dachuan insisted on his own opinion, otherwise he would have made a big mistake.

He wanted to produce meatballs, but he was impulsive when he saw that the little girl named Mimi was in danger of dying in the hospital.

But to do business, it is more important to adapt to local conditions and be flexible.

Zhang Yue clearly remembered that the most important reason why he photographed Risheng Food Factory was that it was worth [-] million yuan.

The [-] million did not refer to Risheng's fixed assets, but the sales channels that the other party had worked so hard to build over the years.

If you insist on going your own way and abandon all these channels, then what you buy is really just an empty shell.

The key is to produce semi-finished fried chicken, which is not against one's will.

After all, the hard work of fried chicken is no less than that of various meatballs.

After thinking about it, he said to the others: "You too, if you have any thoughts and opinions, you must put them forward.

As long as it is adopted by me, even if the salary does not increase, it will be paid in the form of bonus. "

The others nodded in agreement.

Zhang Yue asked a few more words, and directly announced the adjournment of the meeting.

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, Zhang Yue came to the gate of Yajie Food Factory.

And Qin Fangjie was already waiting here.

Zhang Yue hurried over: "Brother Qin, have you been... waiting for a long time?"

He was a little embarrassed.

The two made an appointment to meet here at 03:30, and I came here 10 minutes earlier out of courtesy.

Unexpectedly, Qin Fangjie came earlier.

Qin Fangjie smiled and said, "What are you waiting for? I just came here too.

You'll know when we get to know each other later, what I dislike the most are those vain rules.

Go and see where your centrifuge goes. "

That's right, Zhang Yue came here this time just to see the second-hand treasure worth 80 million that he took for 3850 yuan.

Compared with Risheng Food Factory, which has clean roads and well-preserved equipment, Yajie Food Factory has been demolished and the ground is covered with weeds.

It is said that the owner who bought the land is in other industries, and all the equipment of Argyle has been sold as scrap.

Zhang Yue couldn't help but sigh a little.

The two came to a warehouse behind, and Qin Fangjie opened the door: "This is it."

Zhang Yue was stunned.

Because in front of him is a super giant.

The appearance alone occupies two whole rooms, which is very different from Zhang Yue's expected appearance.

Qin Fangjie smiled and said, "Now you understand why this thing has to sell for 80 yuan, right?
Because I calculated that the metal materials used to make the machine alone are worth 40.

Plus other miscellaneous things, there are at least 60.

So although 80 is a lot, you will definitely not lose money. "

Zhang Yue nodded: "That's natural, as long as Brother Qin is in charge of taking pictures, they must be good things!

Unless the premium is too high, just buy it without thinking. "

"Hahahaha, brother, even though I know you are complimenting me, I feel at ease when I hear it.

Now the machine has also been looked at, and the new boss here has also asked me several times when it will be shipped out.

Do you see where it will be shipped to you?Tell me a location, and I'll send it there for free. "

Zhang Yue was caught in a dilemma.

Because he suddenly realized a problem, although this thing is valuable, but the key is what is the use of buying it?

Selling is definitely not selling.

Just look at the last auction, no one was interested in this thing.

Of course, you can also disassemble and sell scrap iron, but that would only be worth 60 yuan, so I might as well not have bought it back then.

After thinking about it, he asked Qin Fangjie: "Brother Qin, do you know what Yajie Food Factory uses this thing for?"

"Oh, they make cream."

"Produce cream?"

"Yes, according to the workers of Argyle, the cream produced by this giant centrifuge has a particularly pure taste because of its high speed.

Cream has many functions, such as making ice cream, ice cream, including birthday cakes, and various desserts are inseparable from it. "

ice cream?ice cream?
Zhang Yue's heart moved, and he said, "Then help me send it to Shiyue Food Factory!"

October Food Factory.

Wu Dachuan looked at the giant centrifuge in front of him with a confused face: "Boss, what are you doing with such a big mess?"

Zhang Yuedao: "It's very simple, make ice cream, of course, ice cream is also possible!"

"Ice cream? Ice cream?"

He really wanted to say, are you kidding me?
But seeing Zhang Yue's serious expression, he didn't have the nerve to speak after all.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, it's not that I don't want to make it, but desserts like ice cream and ice cream are also very strange to us!

Stranger even than peeing cowballs.

So just give up!

If it really doesn't work, in a year or two, after the word-of-mouth of October Food gets out, try to find a way to increase the business in this area. "

Zhang Yue was unhappy for a moment: "What do you mean? I just threw the equipment I bought for 80 yuan here?"

"Throwing it here will take up space, or sell it directly..."

Seeing Zhang Yue's murderous eyes, Wu Dachuan didn't dare to say anything for an instant.

Zhang Yue hummed: "Absolutely not!
Old Wu, this large centrifuge must be used. This is the task I give you, and there is no room for negotiation.

Of course, I didn't mean to embarrass you on purpose.

Regardless of funds or manpower, you just need to mention it, and I will be satisfied. "

He was already somewhat dissatisfied with Wu Dachuan.

At first, I thought this guy was knowledgeable and good at thinking, but I didn't expect that his vision was still so short-sighted.

This is a good thing worth 3850 million. If it is a new machine, it might directly cost over [-] million.

Good things are sold as junk, isn't this the same as the idiom story?
Seeing what Zhang Yue said, Wu Dachuan had no choice but to nod: "That's fine!

I just need to recruit some more people. In fact, it is not difficult to make ice cream. There is cream and some cones.

Squeeze in after chilling.

But the point is, it's hard to find a market for this thing! "

Zhang Yue was helpless: "Why are you so stupid!

Aren't there many roadside stalls and snack bars for semi-finished chicken chops?

Now that they can put a meatball pot next to the fried chicken, they can put another warmer.

Save the ice cream and sell it when guests come.

You think, fried chicken is hot, right?And it is oily and greasy, will you be thirsty if you eat too much?
The pissing beef balls are also relatively salty.

When they are full, an ice cream cone is not too refreshing. "

"Boss, this is different..." Wu Dachuan still tried to defend himself.

As a result, Zhang Yue waved his hand directly: "Okay, it's such a happy decision.

If a customer orders, you tell them that our semi-finished fried chicken and ice cream are bundled.

If you want to buy fried chicken, you must also order ice cream.

Otherwise it will not be sold! "

After speaking, he turned his head and left. Wu Dachuan wanted to explain again, but found that Zhang Yue had already left.

He was so helpless.

But helplessness is helplessness, Zhang Yue still has to do what he says, who makes the other party the boss!
Because the workers are all experienced, Wu Dachuan just made simple adjustments, and batches of fried chicken were produced.

He immediately picked up his phone and started contacting former clients:

"Boss Zhou, hello, I am Okawa!

That's right, Risheng Food Factory has resumed work.

Yes, it is now renamed October Food Factory.

But don't worry, they are all good things with guaranteed quality and quantity, just order with confidence, and I promise to give you a surprise. "

As he was talking, he suddenly stopped.

After a long time, Wu Dachuan didn't dare to say anything: "What? You don't plan to cooperate anymore?
Can you tell me why?

Wait, after you said I was out of stock, someone else contacted you immediately.

The price for the same thing is [-]% lower than ours?
No, Boss Zhou, our fried chicken cutlet is already the lowest price in the industry.

It's [-]% cheaper than us, can that stuff be eaten?

Don't eat people up, it will be all trouble... Hello?Hello? "

Wu Dachuan stared blankly at his phone, and the other party had already hung up on him.
