Reborn My 1993

Chapter 178 Zhang Yiming VS Tan Hongmei

"Then let me tell you?"

Tan Hongmei is not a shy person, but when it comes to a food factory, which involves a brand new field, and to some extent it is her own business, she is somewhat reserved and nervous.

"Sister Tan, just say what you want. From now on, you will be on your own, so it's just training."

Zhang Yiming continued to encourage.

"Well, let me just say it. This is what I think. Since it is a food factory, everything else is secondary. The focus should still be on the product. During this time, I have been reading books and checking information, and I have done a lot of things. With few notes, I sorted out some foods in the current market, including the farmers’ market. I think we can make full use of some resources in Tongyuan County to make some foods with obvious Tongyuan characteristics, such as the drunken food you mentioned earlier. Jujubes, peanut crisps, peanut cakes, and eggs are all special products of our Tongyuan County. You said before that the tourism industry in Tongyuan County will definitely develop rapidly in the future. Then we It should be feasible to target specialty foods, right?"

Tan Hongmei said what was in her heart, and then looked at Zhang Yiming with a little anxiety.

She has no academic qualifications and has not read enough books. Since she came to Tongyuan County at the age of 19, she has worked as an operator in a telecommunications company. Over the past ten years, she has had very limited contact with people and a narrow circle of life. In her own business field, she is still able She was very confident, but in another field, she was not so confident in herself.

"Sister Tan, you can think of special products, which are already very powerful, but you also mentioned just now that the development of the tourism industry needs a process. At least for the next few years, special products are not enough to support the operation of the entire food factory. What we need to produce should be things that ordinary people can consume on a daily basis. Although things like biscuits and bread are old-fashioned, it is undeniable that the market space they have is still much larger than that of products.”

Hearing Zhang Yiming's words, Tan Hongmei was slightly disappointed. What she said just now was something she had thought about for a long time, but Zhang Yiming rejected it all at once.

"Sister Tan, the first thing we need to do now is to make the food factory survive. If we want to survive, we need to be down-to-earth, and we must conform to the consumption ability and consumption concept of ordinary people in Tongyuan County. If the factory grows bigger and stronger, and has its own characteristics and brand, you can think about it, what is the most inseparable and most needed food in our daily life?"

"meal?"

People are like iron and rice is like steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will feel hungry. This is Tan Hongmei's first reaction, although she soon realized that there must be something wrong with this answer.

"Haha, right or wrong, the most inseparable thing for people is water. The limit for a person to survive without food is about 20 days, but if he doesn't drink water, it usually only lasts 7 days. Of course, this is a digression. I am Going to treat water as the first main product of our food factory."

As soon as Zhang Yiming finished speaking, Tan Hongmei's eyes widened.

This time was different from the previous emotions. She felt that Zhang Yiming's idea was simply unbelievable, even outrageous.

"Xiaoming, are you serious?"

Tan Hongmei said something tactful.

"Sister Tan, I know what you are thinking, but I can tell you responsibly that the market potential of drinking water is huge."

Tan Hongmei didn't know, and it was even hard to imagine Zhang Yiming's words, but Zhang Yiming, who had resurrected his life, knew better than anyone how terrifying the drinking water market was.

Drinking companies such as Haha, Master, Bao, and Shanquan are all vying for the share of the drinking water market. In just four years from 2014 to 2018, the output of drinking water has increased from 51.8 tons to 190.42 million tons. This growth rate is very appalling. Looking at all industries, there are not many whose output and market sales can be equal to the drinking level.

"Xiaoming, I really don't understand what you said. Nowadays, almost every household has tap water, and the water can come out as soon as the tap is turned on. If you want to drink something that tastes good, you can dig a well in your own home. If you want to pursue hygiene, you can boil the water. Open to drink, you said you want to sell water, isn't it a bit unrealistic?"

Tan Hongmei originally wanted to say something whimsical, but she changed it to unrealistic when it came to her lips.

"Sister Tan, the appearance of a thing is not because of how unusual it is or even how good it is. It can appear and be accepted and finally recognized and sought after because we have given it different values. And meaning, yes, tap water, well water, and boiled water are what we drink every day now, but you should know where the source of tap water comes from, basically it is led from the reservoir to the water plant, Daqing Reservoir, You should also be aware of the water quality of the Jianshantsui Reservoir, even after disinfection treatment, do you think those viruses and bacteria that are invisible to our eyes can be completely eliminated and killed?"

"Then the drinking water you sell is not this kind of water?"

After the discussion just now, Tan Hongmei's restraint disappeared, and she began to communicate with Zhang Yiming on an equal footing.

"Yes, and no, first of all, our water can be divided into several types, one is called natural mineral water, the other is called pure water, and there is even distilled water. Tongyuan County is a coastal city, and the salt contained in the water includes Sodium chloride will be much higher than water in other places. People living in coastal areas have a much higher probability of suffering from thyroid diseases than people in general areas. This is common sense, and ordinary people can know that anything, Once it is related to health, the nature of the food itself will change, which is what we need to guide consumers, drinking water is not just to quench thirst, but to make the body healthier."

Zhang Yiming patiently explained the basic concept of the drinking water product to Tan Hongmei in as easy-to-understand language as possible.

"Xiao Ming, I still don't think this is reliable. Besides, even if drinking water is produced, how do you sell it and how much is a bottle? If it were me, I would definitely not spend money on drinking water."

Tan Hongmei spoke decisively and vetoed Zhang Yiming's idea in a disguised form.

"Haha, Sister Tan, it's too early for you to say this. Let me ask you, have you ever drank mountain spring water? The real mountain spring water that seeps from the ground without any processing?"

"Yes, my hometown is in the mountains, and I basically grew up drinking mountain spring water since I was a child!"

"Then, which do you think tastes better, the taste of mountain spring water, tap water, well water, or boiled water?"

"You don't need to ask, of course it's mountain spring water!"

Zhang Yiming looked at Tan Hongmei and didn't speak. After Tan Hongmei finished saying this sentence, she seemed to realize what she said.

"But. But"

Tan Hongmei yelled a few times, but nothing came out in the end.
