Film and Television: Starting from the Journey to Guandong

Chapter 112 The rebellious boss (1w)

It can be seen that Zhu Kaishan is very dissatisfied with his boss. If it were not for his own son, he would have wanted to kill him.

"Dad, I see that he has been staying away from home recently. He has indeed become a lot more honest. I don't know if he figured it out on his own or something~" Zhu Chuanren said.

"Don't worry about him. As I said before, don't cause trouble to the family. Even if he has made a great contribution."

Let's talk about Zhu Chuanwen, this kid has completely let himself go since he came to the Magic City.

Not only is he a smoker, but he has also learned how to keep a lover. He goes out to sneak around whenever there is nothing wrong, and he vividly plays the role of a playboy from a family.

That's it. There was a saying in the previous life that if the rich second generation does not start a business, it will be regarded as a contribution to the family.

How much money can you spend on eating, drinking and having fun? Is 1000 million a month enough?It's only over 1 million a year, but if you learn how to start a business, you won't lose hundreds of millions, and maybe your whole family will be ruined.

No, Zhu Chuanwen recently changed his mind and decided to start all over again, relying on his 'hands' and 'wisdom' to make some achievements to show the whole family that he, Zhu Chuanwen, is not a waste who just waits to die.

Of course, if he had been clamoring to start a business from the beginning, I am afraid that even the dog at home would have jumped out and barked twice to make him give up this unrealistic idea.

So he learned a lot, quietly made a fortune, and while playing the good guy at home, he was stirring up trouble behind his back.

What's going on?ballroom!

This kid is not a fool in the complete sense. He still has some ideas. He knows that making inventions and creations is not his speciality. He should start a factory. His small treasury cannot support it.

So what to do?ballroom!
Needless to say, his entry point is quite accurate. Now the Magic City is an entertainment center that attracts the attention of people across the country. The demand for various entertainment industries is increasing sharply every day. It is definitely profitable to enter the dance hall at this time.

But, you say that he is smart and brainy, but he is also a very good person. He eats from the bowl and looks at the master of the pot. If you start from a small dance hall, Zhu Chuanren will definitely give him a high look.

He didn't want to do it, or he didn't want to do it. If he wanted to do it, he would do something big. He directly renovated a place of thousands of square meters. The renovation cost him most of his fortune, so that he didn't have money to hire anyone.

What should I do?Zhu Chuanwen was almost scratching his head, and finally came up with a trick. What trick?If you are in trouble, look for a wife.

Or whether human life is good or not, you can tell just by looking at the people around you.

Lao Zhu's family is supported by Zhu Chuanren, a talented person, and his small family is supported by Xian'er, a strong woman who is capable both inside and outside.

Let him beg Lao San, he can't let go of this face for the time being, but beg Xian'er, he should be as thick-skinned as possible.

That night, before going to bed, Zhu Chuanwen licked his face and brought Xian'er foot-washing water with a smile.

"Um, Xian'er, you've been standing all day, are you tired? Come on, soak your feet?" Zhu Chuanwen said enthusiastically.

"What's going on with you?" Xian'er has no feelings for him for a long time. The reason why she still lives at home is that for so many years, everyone has become a family member. Even without Zhu Chuanwen, the Zhu family would still treat Xian'er as their daughter. .

"What's going on? Nothing? It's not like we haven't talked for a long time. I thought we could have a good chat."

Xian'er glanced at him and said coldly:
"I have nothing to talk about with you."

"Don't, it was my fault for what happened before, but things are already like this, and it's not an option for you to stay angry."

"I have no control over your affairs. I just hope you won't bother me and the children." Xian'er didn't have a good temper towards Zhu Chuanwen.

"Look at you, you have such a bad temper. Oh, Xian'er, I really want to have a good talk with you." Zhu Chuanwen said seriously.

Seeing him like this, Xian'er felt a little soft-hearted, but she still didn't soak her feet. She hugged her shoulders and said:

"What do you want to talk about? Let's talk?"

Seeing this, Zhu Chuanwen continued to smile:

"Look, it's like this. In addition to our father and mother, even the dogs have their own jobs. But what about me? The boss is alone. I want a career or a family, but I still have a family."

Zhu Chuanwen subconsciously uttered a sentence, almost revealing his truest thoughts.

He peeked at Xian'er with a guilty conscience, and saw that Xian'er had no expression on her face, as if she hadn't heard anything, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Xian'er didn't care about his words at all, because in her heart it was the same, this little family had broken up long ago.

"This, that, I just think about it, I want to do something by myself."

Xian'er is now the female shopkeeper of the building outside the building. She has met countless important people, and all kinds of troubles are happening every day. She has long since developed the ability to hide her emotions and anger.

"so what?"

"I built a dance hall and renovated it. The place is very good. It's just over the Fourth Avenue. It's more than 1000 square meters, which is definitely enough. It is now."

"Lack of money?" Xian'er said bluntly.

"Yes! Hehe, it's not much, just lend me 50!"

"How dare you open your teeth!" Xian'er said with a smile.

"Well, 50 is a bit much, but it shouldn't be a big amount for you, right?" Zhu Chuanwen said with a smile.

"Why do you think I have 50? Do you have no idea about money?" Xian'er said sarcastically.

"Louwailou must make millions a year, right? You are so respected by Chuanren, why shouldn't you be given hundreds of thousands?" Zhu Chuanwen grinned and opened his mouth.

"What are you thinking? A million a year is San'er's money. What does it have to do with me?"

"Then San'er can't give you dividends?"

"Bon, what does it have to do with you?"

Zhu Chuanwen suddenly ran out of words. What Xian'er said made sense. What should I do if I couldn't refute it?
Seeing him scratching his head and looking at a loss, Xian'er suddenly felt disappointed:
"Don't worry about my money. It's what I left for our children. You, the father, are irresponsible, and I, the mother, cannot ignore it."

"I didn't care, Xian'er, I came to you because I really had no choice." Zhu Chuanwen said with a slumped face.

"I can't help but you remembered me. Where is your mistress?" Xian'er had wanted to say this for a long time. She had been holding back before, but now she couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Xian'er, why have you become so unreasonable?"

"Haha, you forced me to do it, you're welcome!" Xian'er was full of words now, her mind was full of things, and she even spoke out loud to criticize others.

Zhu Chuanwen felt bored and left angrily.

After he left, Xian'er couldn't hold back her tears and lay on the bed crying.

In 1923, the earliest radio station in my country was established by the "Chinese Radio Company" established by American Osborne.

Transmit power is fifty watts.

It started broadcasting in Shanghai in early 1923. The main content was music and news. Three months after the broadcast, the company closed down and the station stopped broadcasting.

In the same year, the American New Territories Company established a second radio station in Shanghai. The transmission power was [-] watts. It was also mainly used to broadcast music. After a few months of broadcasting, it was stopped due to poor sales of radio equipment and financial difficulties. broadcast.

The third radio station was founded by the American Kailuo Telephone and Materials Company. It began broadcasting in the French Concession in 1924. The combined call sign was KRC, and the transmitted power was 250 watts, which was later increased to [-] watts (another way of saying it) to [-]).

The station stopped broadcasting in 1929, and continued to broadcast for more than five years.

Counting from the establishment of the first commercial radio station by the beauty Osborne in 1923 to the emergence of self-operated radio stations in 1926, this was the initial stage of the development of China's broadcasting industry.

Radio is a modern propaganda tool that emerged based on successful experiments with radio-delivered language.

In November 1920, the first radio station in the United States to obtain a business license from the United States began broadcasting in Pittsburgh.

The early broadcasting industry in the U.S. was developed on the basis of selling radios.

Ugly businessmen established the first batch of radio broadcasting stations in order to sell radio equipment in China.

If we link the first batch of radio stations set up by American businessmen in China with imperialist aggression, we can see that they were the product of imperialism's renewed expansion of its aggression against China after World War I.

After the war, the imperialist countries re-intensified their aggressive activities against China and rushed to return to the Chinese market.

The goods imported by imperialism into China reached more than 1921 Guanliang in [-], which greatly exceeded the pre-war level. In order to promote goods, the number of company stores set up by various countries in China greatly increased.

Foreign banks exporting capital increased particularly rapidly after the war. The banks established by the imperialists in China had a total of 1926 head offices and [-] branches by [-] (not included in the small book).

After the war, foreign banks in China also organized a "banking group" to implement "international co-management" of China.

They set up factories, opened mines, built railways, and engaged in shipping in China, directly controlling China's economic lifeline.

At the same time, imperialism also stepped up its aggression against China's radio industry. The number of private radio stations set up for communication without the consent of the government increased greatly, especially in Chou country.

According to statistics, in 1921, the number of private radio stations installed by the U.S. State in China totaled five, and in 1925 the number increased to [-].

The imperialist powers also actively planned to "jointly manage" radio stations in China.

Osborne also ran to the Magic City when imperialism expanded its aggression against China.

At that time, Shanghai was the economic center of the imperialist invasion of China and was known as the "adventurer's paradise."

In December 1922, Osborne came to Shanghai in an attempt to make money in business.

It was shortly after the end of the First World War, and a large number of radio equipment originally produced for military use was backlogged.

In order to sell these waste equipment, the European and American imperialist countries built radio stations in colonial and semi-colonial countries.

Osborne saw that there was a lot of money to be made in radio equipment.

But he had no capital, so he had to find a wealthy overseas Chinese businessman, scrape together a sum of money, acquire a batch of radio equipment, start the Huaxia Radio Company, and set up a radio station, attracting customers by broadcasting music and news, and selling non-electrical equipment. .

Due to the poor quality of the transmitter of Osbon's radio station, the broadcast was unclear, which affected the sales of radios and business has been poor.

In addition, Beiyang has a "Telecommunications Regulations" that stipulate that radio equipment is military supplies and cannot be imported into our country without approval from the Ministry of War. Foreigners are not allowed to set up radio stations in China.

The Beiyang Ministry of Transportation has repeatedly ordered the Shanghai authorities to order Osbon to dismantle broadcasting equipment and cease business.

Osborne's company barely managed to survive, but three months later Yibu collapsed and the radio station stopped broadcasting.

Soon after, the radio station run by the American businessman Xinfu Foreign Company suffered the same fate and collapsed within a few months of its opening.

At that time, foreign companies set up radio broadcasting mainly to sell radios, and radio programs were mainly about broadcasting music.

And because the price of radios was high and sales were not good, it was naturally difficult to continue to operate them.

The radio station with a longer history and greater influence was the radio station founded by the American Kailuo Telephone Materials Company. This radio station was operated for five and a half years.

The Kailuo Company's radio station began broadcasting in 1924. In August of that year, the Beiyang Ministry of Transportation announced the "Interim Rules for the Installation and Use of Broadcast Radio Receivers", allowing private individuals to sell and install radio receivers.

In this way, more and more people in Magic City installed radios.

However, the people who could install radios at this time were mainly foreign colonists, bureaucratic compradors, and wealthy businessmen, and ordinary people could not afford to install them.

Because radios were very expensive at this time, just a pair of mineral radios cost more than 80 yuan. Moreover, according to Beiyang regulations, Chinese people who installed radios "should have a certificate issued by one official or above appointed by their fellow countrymen or two sixth-class merchants." Certificate".

Foreigners who install radios "should have a certificate issued by their country's minister or consul or two well-established firms of the same nationality." A license fee of six yuan per year is required to install a vacuum tube radio, and four yuan per year to install a mineral radio.

Not many people can install radios like this.

By 1928, there were only a few thousand radios installed in the Magic City area.

Cairo Company Radio had a small audience when it was founded. They took many measures to attract listeners and expand their influence.

The first is to cooperate with newspapers to increase news programs. For example, in 1925, a studio was set up in the Shenbao Pavilion to broadcast news twice a day.

The second is to invite famous actors to sing on the radio. For example, when the famous Peking opera actor Cheng Jia went to Shanghai, Kailuo Company immediately invited him to sing Peking opera for the audience.

The third is to organize listener-on-demand programs. At this time, there is a fee for launching listener-on-demand programs. As long as you pay a certain fee, you can watch them on-demand.

At noon and evening, there are more listeners and the prices are more expensive, so most of the people who can order the programs are wealthy foreigners.

For a long time, most on-demand programs have been organized by the "CBA" broadcast club, an audience organization run by foreigners.

Later, some Chinese listeners also organized a "Broadcasting Association of China (BAC)" to pay for on-demand programs every day, but due to insufficient funds, they were unable to compete with foreigners.

With two listener organizations competing for on-demand programming, Radio Cairo's broadcasting influence was naturally expanded.

The fourth is to increase business reports to increase the number of listeners in the business system.

Although the Kailuo Company Radio Station tried every means to expand its influence, because radios were too expensive at the time and not many people could afford them, the impact of broadcasting was not great, and the business of Dianhe was not good. It finally stopped broadcasting in October 1929. .

Chinese people started to run their own radio stations in 1926.

At that time, my country's first government-run radio station was established in Bingcheng.

The next year, Beiyang opened radio stations in Tianjin and Beijing.

This was the first batch of government-run radio stations.

As for the first private radio station, it was established in 1927 by the Magic City Xinxin Company.

But in this world, history is about to change. Zhu Chuanren secretly funded and established a radio station called the Voice of China.

In order for the radio station to survive successfully, Zhu Chuanren tied the radio to Want Want Sugar Factory. If you consume a certain number of Want Want products, you can get a radio for free.

As soon as this measure was implemented, the sales volume of Wangwang Sugar Factory skyrocketed.

Why?Ordinary people still like to take advantage.

Moreover, it is difficult for them to spend 80 yuan at a time to buy a radio, but if they spend 80 yuan a year to buy snacks, is that still a big deal?
They may have spent the money unknowingly, but this can be considered an advantage. After all, the money they spent was actually eaten into their stomachs, and they also got a free radio. It was a big advantage, okay?
However, they simply do not understand the truth that those who buy will never be as smart as those who sell.

Do you think radio is some kind of high technology?In fact, the cost is very low.

And many of them are dismantled from old machines and don’t cost much at all.

A radio is an electronic machine that can receive sounds carried by radio waves. The person who invented the method of carrying signals on radio waves for telecommunications transmission was the Italian electrician Marconi.

The first test was in 1894, which became the beginning of wireless technology.

In 1906, the 33-year-old American inventor Lee DeForest assembled the first vacuum tube amplifier. This amplifier was immediately used in conjunction with Marconi's radio invention to use radio to transmit human voices. Radio was produced.

The Canadians established an experimental radio station in Brant Rock, Massachusetts, which broadcast its first radio program on Christmas Eve 1906.

For this momentous occasion in history, Fessenden arranged a modest program consisting of two short pieces of music, followed by a poetry reading, and then himself delivering a brief holiday greeting to the audience.

The broadcast was heard by radio operators within hundreds of miles, who were delighted and appreciative.

The next year, De Forest began regular radio broadcasts from his Manhattan headquarters.

On the radio, de Forest played only gramophone records.

Since there were no home radios at the time, De Forest's audience was only radio operators on ships in New York Harbor.

Although the radio was extremely novel, it was not an instant success because only wireless telegraph enthusiasts had the equipment to receive it. The first person to envision the popularization of radio was David Sarnoff.

He was a pioneer in the development of radio in the 20s and later became leader of the Radio Corporation of America and its subsidiary NBC.

As early as 1916, when he was the manager of the American Marconi Radio Company, he foresaw that sooner or later, every household would have a radio.

In 1910, the first daily radio station was founded at the Charles Herold Broadcasting School in St. Joseph, California.

It is the world's oldest continuously operating radio station.

In 1920, the first modern commercial radio station was established in Pittsburgh, which officially launched on November 1920, 11.

The advantage of tube radios is their sound quality.

Due to the nature of the tube itself, it can produce excellent tone harmony.

At the same time, due to the mechanical design, the mechanical vibration of the entire radio is the same as the resonant frequency of the music waveform, thereby achieving a better sound experience.

The second advantage is that maintenance is easy.

Compared with modern technological products such as digital radios, the internal structure of tube radios is simpler and easier to repair and maintain.

Of course, the disadvantage is that tube radios require more power than modern technological products.

And compared with modern technological products such as digital radios, tube radios use mechanical structures and transmission devices, and some of their parts require regular maintenance.

At the same time, due to the long service life of electronic components, aging and failure are inevitable, which can easily lead to higher replacement and repair costs.

But this is not a problem that Zhu Chuanren has to consider. If every household has a radio, then they will definitely not let it break. Naturally, someone will do the work of replacing parts.

Invisibly, Zhu Chuanren also promoted the development of the tertiary industry.

Of course, his Voice of China radio station has become an inseparable program in every household's life.

When you wake up in the morning, turn on the radio and listen to the radio host playing the morning news.

When you turn on the radio during lunch, melodious singing and music will come out.

It became lively in the afternoon, with Peking Opera, storytelling, and novels being performed one after another. After listening to one section, you must listen to the second section, otherwise the storyline will not be connected and you will have trouble sleeping at night.Zhu Chuanren came from a later generation, so he naturally knows how to create traffic.

He also asked the storyteller to tell everyone supernatural and scary stories in the early hours of every morning.

Who would have thought that this was the first popular column in China.

Countless families spend a day's electricity bill to listen to it for half an hour in the early morning. Even if one of them screams in fear, they still have to listen to it, otherwise they won't be able to brag to their neighbors and friends the next day.

While Zhu Chuanren was busy for the radio station, Zhu Chuanwen's 'East Asia Dance Hall' opened.

No one knows where he got the money, Xian'er didn't help him anyway.

The opening day was extremely deserted, with more dancers on stage than guests off the stage, all because Zhu Chuanwen didn't understand the importance of publicity.

No one knows that your dance hall is open, so who will patronize it?
If Zhu Chuanwen hadn't gathered a bunch of bad friends to support him, I'm afraid the door would have been closed.

But as the few guests returned to spread the word, the ballroom soon became famous, and gradually began to receive customers, and then it became full.

Because this is almost the first song and dance hall in Shanghai that is close to the golden age, and all kinds of equipment and services are top-notch.

Zhu Chuanren only learned about this after the dance hall became popular for several months, and it was Xu Dali who told him.

"Third Young Master, when did you build a dance hall? Even the brothers don't know!" Xu Dali came back and said.

"When did I open a dance hall? I don't even know?" Zhu Chuanren was confused when asked.

"Ah? But I saw the eldest young master standing at the door to welcome him and send him off, and I thought..."

"Who?"

"Young Master~"

"Zhu Chuanwen?"

"Yup?"

Zhu Chuanren smelled a hint of danger and said calmly:

"Where is the dance hall? Take me there?"

Seeing Zhu Chuanren's face, Xu Dali felt that he had said the wrong thing and couldn't help but shrink his head.

He looked at Lao Tan unnaturally, and sure enough, Lao Tan's eyes seemed to say: Why didn't you tell me such an important thing first?
Outside the "East Asia Dance Hall", there is a huge flow of people. The teenagers queuing up to enter can be lined up from the street to the end of the alley, with obscene smiles on their faces, as if they are doing something good.

Zhu Chuanren's gloomy face was reflected on the car window, and anyone who walked by casually would be scared to death.

At this time, a group of young people dressed like humans and dogs came out of the dance hall. They pushed and kicked a young man who was slightly worse for wear towards the alley.

Zhu Chuanren pursed his lips at Xu Dali:
"Go and have a look~"

"Yes~"

Xu Dali pushed open the car door and walked out, shook his windbreaker, lit a cigarette, and then walked slowly towards the alley. As soon as he moved, several brothers in the same clothes in different directions immediately followed him.

After a while, Xu Dali disappeared into the alley.

After a while, Xu Dali walked back to the car with a cigarette in his mouth. Zhu Chuanren rolled down the window and said nothing, waiting for the other party to report.

"Third Young Master, those are thugs from the dance hall. The person who was beaten is the younger brother of a dancer, who wants to drag his sister home~"

"Forcing someone to become a prostitute?"

"It seems so. These thugs have been operating in the Zhabei area before. They are all small hooligans."

"I know~"

"Third Young Master, what should we do with that group of people? They were all let go by the brothers~"

Zhu Chuanren sneered, broke his hands and feet and threw them at the door of the dance hall.

Xu Dali secretly smacked his tongue:
"Third Young Master, isn't this too disrespectful to the eldest young master?"

Zhu Chuanren looked at him coldly:
"Why didn't I know that you were hanging out with Zhu Chuanwen?"

Xu Dali was so frightened that his body trembled:

"That's not what I meant, Third Young Master, I'm going to break your hands and feet right away!"

"Wait!" Zhu Chuanren stopped him.

"You ordered!"

"To make things bigger, I want to see who can support this Zhu Chuanwen. Go and find someone you don't know to handle it!"

Xu Dali rolled his eyes:
"I just saw people from Kongmen nearby. If you give me some money, they will definitely be willing to help."

Only then did Zhu Chuanren squeeze out a smile:
"Yes~"

In just over a quarter of an hour, the bustling East Asia Dance Hall suddenly became chaotic. Black-clad thugs appeared out of nowhere and poured into the dance hall like a tide.

The patrons in the ballroom rushed out in a hurry, and the two streams of people collided like a tidal wave, and screams and curses filled their ears.

About 20 minutes later, a patrol car came slowly. Zhu Chuanren squinted his eyes and stared at the car, refusing to look away.

"Xu Dali~"

"I know, Third Young Master, I'm going to find out whose car it is~"

"Hmm~"

Xu Dali didn't dare to talk nonsense now. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhu Chuanren was angry, and he was furious. So he looked calm on the surface, but a volcano had erupted in his heart.

At this moment, a burst of gunshots like a typewriter came from the ballroom.

Zhu Chuanren's face was extremely dark:

"Damn, is something going to happen?"

Lao Tan said hurriedly:
"That's the sound of a Chicago typewriter. Damn it, how could it be in a ballroom?"

Lao Tan suddenly paused before he finished speaking. His whole body seemed to have been tapped, and his mouth was half open, as if he remembered something terrible.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Chuanren saw that he looked like he had seen a ghost.

"Third Young Master, I suddenly remembered something. The eldest young master said before that he wanted to get a few bottles of good wine from the wine library. I was in a hurry to do something for you and didn't have time. He asked me to borrow the key, and I gave it to him without thinking about it. !”

Zhu Chuanren said coldly:

"You mean, he took away the Thompsons we had in stock?"

"Besides this reason, I can't think of any other reason"

"Haha, if it's true, then I really underestimated him, how brave!"

"I just don't know why the shots were fired inside."

At this time, Xu Dali hurried back with an ugly look on his face:
"Third Young Master~ It's not good. The eldest Young Master doesn't know what happened. He suddenly got angry and ordered his men to shoot at our empty brothers who were helping us."

"Dead?" Zhu Chuanren narrowed his eyes.

"5 dead and 2 injured~"

Zhu Chuanren breathed out:
"Old Tan, go to Kongmen in person and ask them for anything they have to ask for."

"Yes~ I understand~ Third Young Master, this incident is all my fault~"

"Okay, everyone is negligent sometimes. Please pay attention to it in the future. You must handle the affairs of the monks well and don't leave any tail behind."

"I understand! Don't worry!"

"Hmm~"

Zhu Chuanren sighed, this boss had completely gone astray.

"Let's go, go home!"

Lao Tan got off the car and went to Kongmen to deal with the aftermath.

Back home, as soon as Zhu Chuanren entered the house, he heard Xia Yuanzhang and Zhu Kaishan chatting happily, laughing like bells.

Zhu Chuanren didn't want to bring unhappy things to his family, so he forced a smile and asked:

"What are you two talking about? Are you chatting so happily?"

Zhu Kaishan smiled with wrinkles all over his face:
"San'er is back, just in time. Come and take a look at the new product made by shopkeeper Xia. What is this called jelly?"

"Yes, Want Want Jelly and Good Friend Luncheon Meat. It took us a year to come up with these two products. It was not easy."

Zhu Chuanren's eyes lit up:
"Is it done? Let me take a look?"

The jelly and luncheon meats were packed in cans, which looked unattractive.

When I opened a can, I found it was jelly, bubbly, sloshing, and very chewy.

"San'er, this is well made. Your mother likes to eat it, and so do the children at home~"

Zhu Chuanren took a sip with a spoon. It was slightly cool in the mouth, sweet and smooth.

The texture is close to the jelly from the previous life, but the taste is still much worse. It has no other taste except sweetness.

Zhu Chuanren shook his head:
"Add some fruity flavor to make it colorful. Children will like to eat it."

He was not sure whether the pigment had been researched yet, but it was not difficult. You could extract the desired color from any vegetable or fruit.

"Okay, this is easy!"

"Well, let me take a look at this lunch meat again."

Zhu Chuanren is more interested in luncheon meat, which is something that can generate profits.

But after opening it, his head was huge.

It’s not that the meat doesn’t look good or tastes bad, it’s mainly that the meat content is too high?
At first glance, it’s all meat, not much starch!

This is not okay, he wants to make money!
As soon as Zhu Chuanren frowned, Xia Yuanzhang knew what he was going to say:
"Don't worry, Chuanren, I know what you mean. I'm going to make two grades of lunch meat. The one with more starch is the low grade, with small profits but quick turnover. This one is the high grade, used to sell to rich people."

Zhu Chuanren's eyes lit up:
"What a great idea. Not only that, but we can also make one more product."

"what?"

"Ham sausage!"

Luncheon meat and ham seem to be similar things, but many people don’t know the difference between them. Most people think that there is a difference in price.

The luncheon meat is larger in quantity and the packaging is higher-end, so the price is higher, while the ham sausages are smaller in quantity and the packaging is simpler, so the price is lower.

In terms of taste and texture, many people think that luncheon meat and ham are the same thing.

Many people also say that although lunch meat has the word meat, it is better to be called "lunch starch".

In fact, there is a big difference between the two. As mentioned before, the popularity of luncheon meat originated from the Great Depression during World War II.

A farmer hoarded a large amount of pork, so he turned the pork he hoarded into canned food. The purpose was to increase sales, and secondly, to facilitate storage.

The original luncheon meat was not called luncheon meat. It was first called "spiced ham" and was named after the farmer. However, because it did not achieve the expected sales results, the name was changed.

The name of luncheon meat is the name that was translated after it was introduced to China.

Therefore, the raw materials of lunch meat are mainly made of pork and beef, and then mixed with starch, salt and other seasonings.

In fact, most of the ham sausages in later generations are just a name. It can be said that they have nothing to do with ham, because the ham sausages have a relatively long processing history. Traditional hams are dry-cured and then cured after several months. Only through maturity can a product with a unique flavor be formed.

Cheap ham sausages are mostly made from chicken and pork, and are made by adding various additives, starch and some additives, preservatives, etc.

Therefore, luncheon meat, which is mainly made of pork and beef, is more particular about its raw materials than ham, which is made of chicken and pork.

Moreover, the production processes of the two are completely different. To put it simply, the reason why lunch meat can be stored for a long time without deterioration is not due to the addition of some additives such as preservatives, but because of its special production process.

The production of lunch meat involves processing the meat ingredients in advance, such as cooking the meat in advance, marinating, mincing, emulsifying, seasoning, etc., and finally packaging it tightly in a sealed container. After heat sterilization, the interior of the lunch meat is achieved. It is in a sterile state.

That’s why lunch meat can be stored at room temperature for a long time without going bad.

An important reason why ham sausage can be stored for a long time is that a lot of additives are added in the production process, including food additives such as preservatives that have the function of preventing corrosion and extending the shelf life.

In addition, most ham sausages are generally saltier than luncheon meat in order to be stored for a longer period of time.

Analyzing from the nutritional aspect, first of all, lunch meat is made by heat sterilization and does not contain additives such as preservatives, and the raw materials used for lunch meat production are also fresh meat ingredients.

Therefore, luncheon meat has higher nutritional value and contains nutrients, fat, carbohydrates, niacin, etc. In addition, luncheon meat tastes more tender and delicious.

During the production process of ham sausage, more food additives are added, such as preservatives, color protectants, water-retaining agents, etc., so the nutritional value of ham sausage is much lower than that of luncheon meat.

In terms of taste, ham sausage has a hard texture, a salty taste, and low water content, but it has more flavor.

There are many options to choose from, but luncheon meat is more durable than ham sausage, so when eating hot pot, everyone will use luncheon meat instead of ham sausage.

As for why the meat content of luncheon meat in later generations is obviously so high, why does it not taste like meat when you eat it, as if you are chewing starch?
So many people think that the starch content in lunch meat must be very high.

In fact, this is not the case, or in other words, the starch is indeed very high at the beginning.

But the starch of luncheon meat in later generations is not that high. The reason why luncheon meat tastes like starch is that the meat contained in luncheon meat is minced.

Therefore, the meat fiber is basically gone, so it tastes like starch.

However, this does not mean that the demand for ham sausage is not great. For those who cannot afford luncheon meat, ham sausage is definitely the best choice for those who are greedy for meat.

But there is a problem. It seems that preservatives have not been invented these days, and plastic is not widely used, so it is not feasible to make ham sausage.

"Forget it, pretend I didn't say it. Your high-end and low-end products are fine. You can use the packaging to distinguish them."

"Okay, then I will arrange for online production."

"Produce it and sell it as soon as possible to make money."

Zhu Kaishan said worriedly:
"San'er, why did you mean to make inferior products for the poor? This is not okay. Our Lao Zhu family must be conscientious and not harm our compatriots!"

Zhu Chuanren couldn’t laugh or cry:
"Dad, don't worry, I'm not that kind of person. Although low-grade lunch meat will increase the starch content, it is definitely beneficial and harmless to people today. The most important thing is that it allows them to use very low It’s definitely a great achievement to have meat at a reasonable price.”

Zhu Kaishan shook his head:
"I don't understand this. Anyway, you can't do anything unconscionable!"

"Don't worry, dad, even if you force me to do this, I won't do it."

Xia Yuanzhang also helped and said:
"Yes, in-laws, don't you still have me? Aren't you still worried about me?"

"Haha, then I'm totally relieved. Okay, this bad old man like me, stop talking nonsense. Let's go, let's have something to eat and drink?"

"Come on, I haven't had a drink with Brother Cardigan for a while, so I need to take a good drink!"

Zhu Chuanren was a little upset by Zhu Chuanwen's incident and was not in the mood to drink, so he simply said:
"You guys keep drinking, but I won't drink anymore. I'm a little tired today."

"Okay, you have a good rest, and we two brothers will drink by ourselves."

Zhu Chuanren watched the two of them go to the restaurant, while he went to the study room. Xu Dali followed him in.

"Third Young Master~"

"Whose car belongs to the patrol house?"

"Sixteen shops!"

"what?"

"It's the patrol car from Shiliupu."

"Jute Pi? How courageous is he? How dare he support Zhu Chuanwen behind my back?"

Xu Dali didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore. He stood there respectfully, breathing carefully for fear of being implicated.
