A powerful country in scientific research

At nine fifty-five, the conference room of the food factory was already full of people. Although the Hongqi Food Factory was not a large factory in Hai City, it was not small in scale. The deputy directors and directors of the factory alone filled the conference room.

Director Yang was talking to Deputy Director Liu who was sitting next to him until he saw his secretary Liu Qiang and Jiang Hongmei enter the meeting room. Then they stopped talking.

People around who didn't know Jiang Hongmei were confused when they saw Liu Qiang bringing a middle-aged woman in. Was it Director Yang who arranged this? But wasn't this a discussion about the future development of the factory? Why did he bring a strange woman in?

Those who knew Jiang Hongmei, the moment they saw her, thought of what happened yesterday when Director Yang took Deputy Directors Liu and Sun to Su Jianguo's home. It seemed that Director Yang and his team went there not because of Su Jianguo, but to find Jiang Hongmei.

Thinking of this, they were even more surprised. Was there anything about Jiang Hongmei that they didn't know about that was worth the leaders' personal visit?

Jiang Hongmei, who had just come in, was taken to a corner by Liu Qiang. After all, it was not yet time for her to appear.

Everyone's doubts were soon resolved.

Yang Qingshan did not beat around the bush and directly stated the purpose of the meeting.

"My nephew brought home a sauce a while ago and told me that it was given to him by a classmate and it was very delicious. I didn't take it seriously at first. After all, children don't have much experience. Sometimes when you put more meat, they think it tastes better."

As soon as he finished speaking, laughter slowly rang out in the conference room. Everyone had children at home and had the same feeling about Director Yang's words, so they naturally couldn't help laughing after hearing his words.

Yang Qingshan also smiled, "But I didn't expect that this time what this kid said was true. I tasted the sauce and was shocked. I, Yang Qingshan, have never eaten such delicious food in all my years. This is not an exaggeration. You will know when you try it later."

Everyone in the room was smart. How could they not understand what Director Yang meant when they heard this? When they combined it with the news that Director Yang had taken Deputy Directors Liu and Sun to visit Su Jianguo, they immediately understood that this seemed to be related to Director Su.

Liu Qiang also understood why Director Yang asked him to bring a female worker from the workshop over. The two jars that he and Jiang Hongmei had just brought over should contain the sauce that Director Yang was talking about.

Everyone sitting at the table looked at each other, then at Deputy Director Liu, Deputy Director Sun, and Su Jianguo who all looked as if they had nothing to do with me. Everyone was speechless. They were still pretending to be stupid at this time.

Deputy Directors Liu and Sun were of course aware that many people were looking at them, but they had long been accustomed to it and did not take it seriously.

Su Jianguo, who was standing by, was really the first time to be noticed by so many leaders. He was immediately very nervous, but this matter really had nothing to do with him. Just look at what he was doing! Su Jianguo felt very wronged.

Finally, everyone turned their attention to Director Yang, wanting to hear what they did at the Su's house yesterday.

Deputy Director Zhao asked directly, "Director, who made this sauce?" Was it what they guessed?

Yang Qingshan: "She is the wife of the workshop director, Director Su, Comrade Jiang Hongmei. Comrade Jiang is also a worker in our workshop."

The next second, everyone's face had an expression of "as expected", and they were right.

Yang Qingshan ignored them and continued, "Secretary Liu, you and Comrade Jiang can share the sauce with everyone so that everyone can have a taste."

Liu Qiang: "Okay, Director Yang."

Although Jiang Hongmei was nervous, she and Secretary Liu, one holding a jar and the other holding a spoon, began to put mushroom sauce into the small bowls in front of each leader. Two spoons were put into each bowl, and soon, all the bowls were filled.

The leaders looked at the sauce in the small bowl in front of them that exuded an enticing aroma and swallowed their saliva. It looked really good... They wanted to eat it, but Director Yang hadn't moved yet. Should they wait until Director Yang finished eating before they could eat?

Deputy Director Liu and Deputy Director Sun had no such concerns. As soon as they got the sauce, they immediately took the spoon and started eating.

Deputy Director Liu felt sorry for the jar of sauce he took home yesterday while eating.

As soon as he got home yesterday, the sauce was divided up by his parents, younger brother, and children, and no one had time to keep it until the morning.

Deputy Director Sun was fine, he had a small family and didn't eat much yesterday. This morning he had noodles with mushroom sauce, which tasted delicious, and Deputy Director Sun ate two large bowls.

However, even though he had just eaten it in the morning, he still felt very hungry when he saw this sauce.

Director Yang saw that except for Deputy Director Liu and Deputy Director Sun, no one else had taken action. He knew that they were a little reserved, so he smiled and said, "Everyone, eat quickly and tell us what you think after you finish eating."

Since Director Yang said so, everyone naturally started to taste it. Then the only sounds in the office were the sounds of chewing and the crisp sound of spoons and bowls colliding.

Ten minutes later, all the questioning looks disappeared and everyone had a smile on their face, obviously they were very satisfied with the taste of the mushroom sauce.

Yang Qingshan: "Everyone knows whether this sauce tastes good or not. My idea is to produce this mushroom sauce. For mushrooms, we will first order some from the supply and marketing cooperatives or vegetable markets. If the sales are good, we will grow mushrooms ourselves, and someone will come to teach us how to grow mushrooms."

Director Wang: "How do you price this mushroom sauce? Mushrooms and meat are not cheap, but if we price it the same as canned meat, will it affect sales?"

Yang Qingshan: "For the time being, we will sell them at cost price. If the price is too high now, we will save a lot of costs if we grow mushrooms ourselves later. It will not be appropriate to lower the price then. What do you think?"

Everyone looked at each other and felt that what Director Yang said made sense.

"What Director Yang said makes sense."

"Yeah, it's not a good idea to lower the price. Let's set the cost price first."

"Yeah."

Yang Qingshan was very satisfied with the result. "I plan to temporarily replace the canned food production line in the third workshop with a mushroom sauce production line. Jiang Hongmei will be transferred from the first workshop to the third workshop to be responsible for the production of new products. However, her position is not a workshop worker or workshop director, but a researcher."

The former workshop director of the third workshop was Su Jianguo. Because he knew in advance that Jiang Hongmei was a researcher, he was not panicked when he heard Director Yang say that she would be transferred to the third workshop. He also felt that his wife would not stay in the third workshop for long. This sauce would definitely sell well once it was on the market, so the production line would have to be expanded by then.

Deputy Factory Director Zhao: "Then what about the production tasks originally in charge of the third workshop?"

Yang Qingshan thought for a moment, "When will the production task for the third workshop be scheduled?"

Deputy Director Wang, who was in charge of production, glanced at Su Jianguo, director of the third workshop, and Su Jianguo understood what his leader meant.

He immediately replied, "Director Yang, the third workshop is currently working on an order for Ontario, which will be completed the day after tomorrow. After that, there will be an order for Shen County, which will take about five days. After this order is completed, no new tasks have been arranged for the time being."

Yang Qingshan nodded and said, "Transfer the orders from Shen County to the first and second workshops. Give them some hard work, and when the factory's performance improves, give them bonuses or prizes."

Zhang Ping, the director of the first and second workshops: "Okay, Director Yang."

Then Yang Qingshan said to Su Jianguo: "Just proceed with the orders from Ontario as usual, and start producing mushroom sauce after that."

Su Jianguo: "Okay, Director Yang."

Yang Qingshan: "Does anyone have any questions? If not, then it's settled." He was afraid that he might have missed something, or that someone might have questions.

The conference room was quiet for a while.

Deputy Director Wang: "Director Yang, we all think this thing is good, and we all agree to produce it."

Deputy Factory Director Zhang: "Yes, once this delicious product is on the market, let's see what Red Star can do to compete with us."

The people below also echoed each other. They all had the same idea. Doesn’t the Red Star Food Factory like to snatch orders from them? Let’s see how they do it this time!
