The Industrial Kingdom of the Great Age

Chapter 257 Determining the Research Direction
In the office, including Zhao Ming and Xiao Li, there are nine people in total.

Nine people are gathered around a round desk, on which various documents and materials are placed.Zhao Ming glanced over everyone, and finally fixed on Xiaoli's face, and said, "Xiaoli, tell everyone about our company's current research situation."

Everyone is smiling, especially Xiaoli is smiling like a flower.Zhao Ming said he wanted to tell everyone, but in fact, only he, Zhao Ming, didn't know about it.

"At present, our Dongxing mainly produces aquatic products, and the most important ones are shallow seawater products. These products will be sent to the processing plant below for the first step of processing as soon as they are caught." Xiaoli said with a serious expression: "Under normal circumstances, the first rough processing is already the limit of our company."

"So after preliminary processing, we have to carry out transportation. Most of the contracts signed by our company with other stores or private companies are carried out by us. But because of this, we must ensure that the products are fresh enough during the transportation process. And Right now, this is our biggest problem.”

Zhao Ming nodded. He also entered Dongxing because he saw that the products Li Tianxing sent to the other side of Dameisha had deteriorated.

After all, everything is fate.

Zhao Mingdao: "Then how does our company guarantee the quality? Even if it is a short-distance transportation, there should be some way? Just like the store that was sent to the other side of Dameisha before, it has deteriorated. What is going on here? ?”

Xiaoli frowned slightly, and said: "Mr. Zhao must be talking about what happened yesterday. It was an accident, the deliveryman made a mistake, and delivered all the goods we planned to dispose of. It is also because of this, Mr. Li intends to personally send a fresh copy of the past to make amends."

Zhao Ming nodded secretly, he gave Dongxing this opportunity to make a fortune together because he admired Li Tianxing.

"As for our company's quality preservation methods, we use refrigeration or adding preservatives to preserve freshness." Xiaoli said seriously: "Strictly speaking, we use both methods together, mainly using preservatives or preservatives. And What Professor Xu and others are studying is this problem of preservatives.”

Zhao Ming frowned, he didn't expect Dongxing to use this method to keep fresh.Not bad, but definitely not good either.

Preservatives can indeed keep food fresh, but that is limited.According to Li Tianxing's ambition, it is simply not enough to support the shipment of products out of Guangdong.

Freezing is a good way to preserve quality. As for fresh live seafood, that's not what they consider.

Basically, it cannot be shipped to Guangdong, and even if it is shipped out, the cost in the middle is too high.

Generally, the best way is to fill the container with water and put all the live seafood in it to raise and transport it away.

And these don't have much technical content, and it's not something Dongxing needs to consider.They need to consider how to ship these freshly processed seafood before it goes bad.

Professor Xu's method is to add preservatives or preservatives to seafood to delay their deterioration time, so that there will be more time for transportation.

This method is not what Zhao Ming needs to consider, because he feels that adding something to the food does not know whether it is safe or not.He does not have the knowledge and ability to make effective judgments.

I can't say against it, but I don't agree with it either.

"Ms. Zhao, in this way, is our research direction closer to that of Professor Xu?" Xiaoli asked when she saw that she had finished speaking, but Zhao Ming hadn't spoken yet.

Zhao Ming immediately shook his head and said, "No, since Mr. Li gave us wages, we can't waste this resource. Professor Xu should have more say in anti-corrosion than us noobs, so we don't need to go deeper."

Everyone nodded, Professor Xu has already achieved something in this area.They studied again, most of them followed Professor Xu's old path, and they might not be able to reach Professor Xu's level.

"Then what should we do?" Koizumi asked a little puzzled.

"That's right, we only have one or two ways to preserve freshness. If we don't study preservatives or preservatives, we seem to have nothing to do." Xiao Lin spread his hands with a wry smile, very helpless.

Xiao He tentatively said: "Why don't we study this too? I'm in public relations. I can try to get some information from Professor Xu later."

Hu's mother shouted in a low voice: "Don't talk, wait for Teacher Xiao Zhao."

Everyone shut up and looked at Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming looked around the crowd and said with a smile: "Didn't Mr. Xiao He say that just now? Our company has two methods of insurance. The only thing everyone is struggling with is the method of chemical agents. Haven't you considered it?" Is there a physical guarantee?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, isn't it just a guarantee of quality?What are you doing so clearly?
Xiao Li was pleasantly surprised: "Then according to Teacher Zhao, you should have a direction, right?"

Zhao Ming nodded and smiled, "That's right, I thought about the direction of our research last night. Let's start with refrigeration."

"refrigeration?!"

Everyone exclaimed, apparently they did not expect Zhao Minghui to propose this method.

Zhao Ming smiled and said, "That's right, it's cold storage. Is there any problem?"

What's the problem?
This is a big problem!

Hu's mother thought about it, shook her head and sighed: "Mr. Zhao, we understand your mentality of wanting to contribute to the company. Maybe Xiaoli didn't make it clear just now. Our company mainly relies on chemical methods such as preservatives to keep fresh. "

Zhao Ming looked at Xiaoli and got a positive look.

He responded with a smile, and then seriously said: "I know this. But that's because Professor Xu is doing research in this area. This is more convenient, and the cost may be relatively cheaper."

Xiaoli nodded and said, "That's right, convenience is second to none. Everyone is working, and no one is afraid of being tired. The main reason is to do it this way, and the cost will be very low."

"Our company has several huge refrigerators, but the seafood that can be stored is really limited. And we have too many products, which is obviously not enough to store, and the electricity and ice are consumed a lot."

"It costs a lot just to keep it fresh in our Dongxing factory. It is basically impossible to preserve it during transportation. After all, it is impossible for us to go out with a refrigerator." Xiaoli finished in one breath, and said: "If the We also don’t have enough ice for shipping.”

After listening to Xiaoli's story, Zhao Ming felt dizzy and felt a little troubled.This situation is basically that Dongxing does not have the so-called physical warranty.And the most important thing about this cold storage is the convenience of cost.

The current refrigeration equipment is mainly refrigerators. As for those large freezers, it seems that they have not been introduced yet.And relying on Dongxing's financial resources and connections, it seems impossible to introduce them.What's more, this can at most solve the problem of Dongxing's seafood storage, but there are still problems in transportation.

"No wonder Professor Xu wants to use preservative." Zhao Ming shook his head and sighed.

Everyone was silent after hearing this, they thought that Zhao Ming was also planning to go this way.

But what Zhao Ming said next shocked them for a while.

"Since the current problem is so big, then we have to go upstream to solve this problem. Mr. Li pays us wages, and we have to share his worries." Zhao Ming said impassionedly.

Xiaoli smiled bitterly: "But Mr. Zhao, this problem is too serious. We don't have enough funds to solve the problem in refrigeration. To produce refrigerators, we need a lot of funds."

Koizumi shook his head helplessly and said, "Yes, the cost is too high. Although Mr. Li is optimistic about you, he will not approve it."

Hu's mother frowned slightly, she was a careful person, so she waved her hand and said, "Don't talk, just listen to Teacher Xiao Zhao finish talking."

Zhao Ming glanced at her, and a hint of admiration flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Although this Mama Hu is old and seems to be a bit cynical, she still respects those who are above her.Most importantly, she will read words and emotions.

After everyone quieted down, Zhao Ming said: "We will use the resources we currently have for research. If we need to manufacture machines, I will draw the design drawings. We only need the money for one machine, which should not be much. This One point, Xiao He will take responsibility."

Xiao He nodded quickly. Although he was not very optimistic about this point, Zhao Ming was the leader and he had to obey.

Others are also beating drums in their hearts, producing machines by themselves?Still let Zhao Ming draw the design?
Are we going to make our own refrigerators?But here we are Dongxing Aquatic Products Company. We are in the aquatic products business. What kind of refrigerators do we produce?
This point, everyone is puzzled, but they did not say it.In the end, Mama Hu couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Mr. Zhao, we understand your desire to contribute. But it seems that your method doesn't work."

Zhao Mingdao: "It doesn't work? How can it not work?"

Mama Hu was taken aback and looked at the others.She really couldn't tell why.

In the end, Xiao He, who was in charge of public relations, said: "Mr. Zhao, this funding is the problem. We don't know how much you need to produce a refrigerator. I'm afraid that even if it is a few thousand yuan, Mr. Li will not approve it. After all, there is that money , it’s better to go to the market to buy a finished product. Naturally, we won’t suspect design drawings and the like, after all, you are a senior engineer.”

In fact, they were all suspicious.

You are a senior engineer, but that is a senior engineer from the TV manufacturing industry.Now it is said that it is to draw the design drawings of the refrigerator, isn't this a joke?

Zhao Ming was surprised and said, "I never said that I would design a refrigerator, and the funds may not need several thousand yuan. Or one or two thousand yuan is enough, maybe not yet."
