Starting from selling lunch boxes at the construction site

Chapter 343: The Puppet of Harvest Farm.
Located in Hua'an Village, the bread that was renovated from the village hall of Hua'an Village was officially completed three days ago, and all the procedures have been completed, reaching the standards for opening the business.

Two days ago, the tasting packages of mochi, grape jam, grape juice and other foods were transported from the Haishi factory to Hua'an Village and signed for.

Yesterday morning, after a simple opening ceremony, six villagers who were selected by the head of Hua'an Village and rated qualified by Xu Heping officially took up their posts and became temporary employees of the bakery.

After a busy day of these six employees, nearly a hundred kilograms of grapes were transformed into various kinds of food. They were properly placed in exquisite packages, put into express boxes, affixed with express orders, and sent by the express company. Collected uniformly and shipped to all parts of the country.

The list of personnel was selected by Tang Wen three days ago through Taobao store lottery, live broadcast room lottery and various platform accounts. In order to allow those who try new products to give satisfactory taste feedback, Xu's Catering also specially Note: If your feedback exceeds [-] words, you will receive a Xu's Catering braised food gift pack.

Under various incentives, 320 tasting kits have been sent out, and so far, 86 carefully written feedbacks have been received.

On the rooftop of Xu's catering headquarters, two simple tables were put together to form a long table. Xu An, Lu Shengnan, Tang Wen and others sat around this long table and conducted work reports.

"Based on various data from the taste test feedback, we made a summary analysis. Through the analysis, we can know that the grape juice with the highest acceptance rate is the grape juice with no nutritional value."

Tang Wen said as she rotated the computer in front of her 180 degrees. The screen was facing Xu An and others. The clips taken from the feedback were displayed on the computer screen.

[No. [-] grape juice has a mellow taste and strong aroma. In terms of taste, it is even better than No. [-] grape juice. 】

[Based solely on taste, without considering nutritional value, I would choose No. [-] grape juice]

[No. [-] grape juice tastes good, but its nutritional value is lacking, so you probably won’t consider buying it]

【.】

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on the bottom of the screen, Tang Wen gently tapped the 'next page' arrow.

"Grape Juice No. 86 received an approval rate of 80.00% from 70.00 responses and a favorable rating of 70.00%. Followed by Grape Mochi, the approval rate was 90.00% and the favorable rating was [-]%."

[The taste of grape mochi is beyond my expectation. It doesn’t have the plastic texture of other grape products, and the taste is quite solid.]

[.What surprised me was that not only the outer skin of the mochi was filled with grape juice, but the inside of the mochi was also filled with grape jam. The ingredients were so practical that I was a little worried about the price]

[The outer skin is soft and chewy, the inside is delicate and dense, and the sweetness is not too sweet. You will not feel tired after eating six of them in one go]

【.】

"The Grape Cake made using the sweet-scented osmanthus cake method has the lowest approval rate, with an approval rate of 40.00% and a favorable rating of 50.00%."

"Not bad." Xu An was very satisfied with the feedback data. He turned to look at Lu Shengnan and said, "You discuss the pricing of the products with Mr. Xu, Director Lu and Master Liu. The profit part is still calculated at 30.00%. "

After saying that, Xu An looked back at Tang Wen and asked, "Is this part of the report completed? If so, let's move on to the next step!"

"Not yet!" Tang Wen answered the call while clicking the 'next page' arrow, and said quickly: "There is one more thing. Boss, look at this. This is the feedback sent by one of the food tasters. In addition to feedback In addition, it also comes with a recipe for making fruit drinks using grape juice.”

"Recipe?" Xu An looked at the computer screen with interest and saw a recipe.

The recipe records the preparation of two different drinks, one is [Grape Lemon Tea] made with grape juice, and the other is [Grape Shake Ice] made with grape juice and other brands of grape sparkling water.

"I asked Dani to try it. Master Liu, who looks very good-looking, also tasted it and they agreed with the taste."

Tang Wen stood up as she spoke, walked straight to the rooftop stairs, went down the stairs, and opened the stair door. After a moment, a kitchen staff member appeared in front of everyone carrying a tray. On the tray were two cups according to the recipe. The drinks made.

Judging from the appearance, the two drinks are as bright and dazzling as two pieces of gradient amethyst.

The staff were still more than three meters away from the patchwork conference table, and Xu An smelled the fragrance of the grapes. It was a richer fragrance than when eating grapes every day. Just smelling this smell, Xu An felt... I feel that the secretion of body fluids in my mouth has begun to speed up.
He took the [-]ml tasting cup from the [Grape Shake Ice], shook it slightly, brought it directly to his lips, and drank it all in one gulp.

The extreme freezing swept away all the remaining taste in the mouth, leaving only a clear light. Before Xu An frowned, tiny and wonderful bubbles jumped in the mouth, and the juice splashed everywhere under the action of the bubbles, a kind of fireworks. The feeling of blooming in the mouth
what----

A series of exclamations sounded in Xu An's ears. It seemed that everyone had the same feelings about this drink.

Although both drinks are made with grape juice, [Grape Lemon Tea] brings a completely different feeling to Xu An.

The combination between lemon and tea is already a match made in heaven. The combination between the two is extremely close, as strong as if nothing in the world can separate them.

But in this drink, the grape juice does not attack in a big way. Instead, it splits itself into countless tiny molecules, lurking between the lemon and the tea leaves. When you taste the refreshingness of the lemon and tea leaves, the mellowness of the grape juice also quietly disappears. Emerging on the taste buds, no one knows where it comes from or where it is hidden, but it is everywhere
what----

Everyone sighed together again, this cup tastes very good!

"These two formulas are quite mature and can be used directly in Xu's lemon store!" Xu An said, looking at Tang Wen, and asked with interest: "Where can you find this tester?" Do you have the restaurant’s contact information? I need to prepare a sincere gift package to express my gratitude!”

"Yes, but boss, please take a look at this first before making a decision."

Tang Wen clicked the page turning button again, and with a crisp 'click' sound, a photo appeared in Xu An's eyes. In the photo was a handwritten letter. 【.Recently I noticed that Xu's Catering has a new tea brand called 'Xu's Lemon Tea'. I have tasted it several times and it tastes quite good.
Regarding the atmosphere and development space of your company, I am very yearning for it. Since your company does not recruit beverage R&D engineers, I can only take this opportunity to offer two tea recipes prepared by me as a stepping stone. I don’t know if it is possible. Get an opportunity to work at Xu's Catering.
Let me introduce myself, my name is Cheng Chuan, I currently work for Haiquan Beverage Company, and I am one of the R&D engineers in the core department]

"I collected some information about Cheng Chuan, and it's almost the same as what was described in his letter." Seeing Xu An's thoughtful expression, Tang Wen explained promptly:

"I also asked Supervisor Liu Tongliu, who once worked for Haiquan Beverage Company, to inquire about his former colleagues in the company. The answer I got was that Haiquan Beverage Company had a large backlog of products due to mistakes in its business strategy.
Employee benefits have also been cut repeatedly, and commissions and other fees have been withheld. It is also very tight to postpone the release of research funds for one month. Not only that the research funds have been closed, they are also required to have normal output. Perhaps this is what Cheng Chuan wants. Reasons for job hopping”

"With working experience in Haiquan Beverage Company and these two formulas, there is indeed no problem. Hezipu is also planning to build a food processing plant, and grape juice is also in the production plan. Professional beverage research and development is indeed needed. engineer."

Xu An was a little unsure and asked hesitantly: "But products such as grape juice will be produced in Hezipu, and work such as beverage research and development will also be arranged for research there. He can accept being stationed there for a long time." Working?"

"Let me contact him and communicate." Lu Shengnan took over the conversation and asked, "If this is acceptable, what are the next arrangements?"

"If it's acceptable." Xu An pondered for three seconds and said, "Let's first arrange to go to the bakery over there to see if he can adapt. Before the food processing plant is built, we can arrange for him to develop research for Xu's lemon tea shop. New product”

Under the leadership of Lao Tian, ​​the first thing Zhuzhou suppliers did to fight against Xu's Catering was to cut off his granary!
The first important thing in the catering industry is the chef, and the second most important thing is the ingredients. Judging from the situation of Xu's catering, the chef has no way to do it, but aren't there still ingredients?

Without leaving the hotel box, everyone once again took out their mobile phones and called the bosses in various wholesale markets, asking whether Xu's Catering, which was newly established in Zhuzhou City, purchased ingredients from them.

But after calling one after another, the answers I got were all denials, 'No', 'I have never heard of this company', 'I don't know, I don't have one here'.
"Damn, to supply such a large amount to an entire middle school, Xu's Catering neither purchases ingredients from wholesale markets nor cooperates with greenhouse growers. Could it be possible that their ingredients fall from the sky?"

As the leader of a supplier in Zhuzhou City, Lao Tian doesn't believe in this evil. He can deny it when asked on the phone, but if he sees it himself, he can't deny it!
So, at three o'clock in the morning, Lao Tian appeared on the road to Xu's restaurant wearing a thin coat and started squatting.

"This car was issued by Huimin Wholesale Market. It should belong to Lao Fan's family. This car is going to Lao Du's house. This car belongs to Lao He's family."

More than 20 large and small vehicles passed by, some were online ride-hailing vehicles, some were private cars, and even more were various small trucks. However, among so many vehicles, not one of them turned into the road beside him. Drive in the direction of Xu's Restaurant.

Ah——ahah————

After letting out a long yawn, two bright beams of light shone from the end of the road. Lao Tian subconsciously looked towards the place where the light source came from, and saw another small truck approaching.

Squinting his eyes slightly, Lao Tian concentrated on looking at the middle of the pickup truck. It was round. There seemed to be some patterns surrounding it. Very familiar yet unfamiliar patterns.
As the minivan drove closer and closer, the LOGO printed in the middle of the carriage became clearer and clearer. It was a sun printed with orange paint, and below the sun were the neat words "Harvest Farm"!

The moment he saw the logo clearly, Lao Tian had a bad premonition, and this premonition became reality in the next second. The small truck turned straight into the small road next to Lao Tian.
As Lao Tian shook his head repeatedly, the minivan stopped at the entrance of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, the door opened, and the driver got out of the car!
No wonder that after asking all the wholesale markets in Zhuzhou City, I couldn’t find out which store provides ingredients for Xu’s Catering. It turns out it’s Harvest Farm!It’s actually a Harvest Farm!It turned out to be Harvest Farm!

Lao Tian just watched blankly as the chefs opened the trunk door, moved the ingredients inside to the store, closed the compartment door, got in, started the car, passed him again, and left straight away.
If it were wholesalers in Zhuzhou City and so many of their suppliers united to put pressure, they would not offend so many of their local businesses because of an outsider like Xu's Catering.

but!This is a fucking harvest farm!It is one of the companies under the famous Qian Sheng Group in Hai Duong Province!
However, looking at the size of the small truck and the time it took the workers to move it, the purchase amount of Xu's Catering was only a few hundred kilograms. How did Fengshui Farm actually agree to such a small purchase amount?Also delivered to your door?
At this time, a certain memory in Lao Tian's mind was triggered. It was a scene where he and a group of people were drinking and eating barbecue at a food stall and bragging. One of them seemed to say that Fengsheng Farm was at odds with the top management of Qiansheng Group and wanted to leave Qiansheng. The group goes it alone.

At that time, I felt that this person was bragging. Otherwise, how could the boss of a small company know about the internal conflicts of a listed company?
But now after seeing the truck at Harvest Farm and thinking about the time when Xu's Catering appeared, Lao Tian suddenly discovered that this news was actually true!
This Xu's Catering may be a company created by the senior executives of Harvest Farm through loopholes. The boss on the surface must be a puppet.
If you think about it this way, everything makes sense. Even the fact that the boss of Xu's Catering is a boy under 20 years old is explained. A puppet is naturally easy to control. There is nothing better than a poor boy who is not familiar with the world. Better control!

Fortunately, he didn't take action rashly, but chose to stay there, otherwise he wouldn't even know how he died in the end!
It wasn't until the vehicle with the 'Harvest Farm' logo printed on it completely disappeared from sight that Lao Tian finally reacted, folded his hands on his chest, lowered his head and left quickly.

"It's best to have a larger plot of land next to Xu's Catering. If not, then it should be closer to Xu's Catering."

The agency man muttered to himself while looking at the map he had just printed out. He used a pencil to write and draw on it, and from time to time he picked up an eraser to erase the lines or words he had just drawn.

Yesterday afternoon, Xu Anxu, the owner of Xu's Catering, walked into the store and asked for his help to see if there was any suitable land on Qianjie Road. He wanted to buy some more land to expand the Xu's Catering headquarters.

The last failed cooperation made the agency guy feel very worried. He regretted the tens of thousands of dollars in private commissions that he almost got, but he was also glad that Boss Xu saw through the scam and didn't fall for it, otherwise his career would have been ruined. once.

Even so, every time he thought about the tens of thousands of yuan in commission, the agent felt regretful.

If, if I had been more cautious and worked more carefully, I might have been able to avoid this trap, have the cooperation be completed smoothly, and get my own commission.
Ding——Ding Ding————

Suddenly, a message beep came from the computer department. As an old employee who has been working for several years, the agency man knew very well that this was coming from the company's internal communication software.
