Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

Lin Yifeng admitted that he had never been involved in the business field, but he was willing to try.

Lin Yifeng has been thinking about this issue recently, especially when he saw Zhou Qi struggling from scratch to where he is now, which made him realize that he can also change the status quo through hard work.

He hopes to live a better life through his own efforts and be able to generously help his family during holidays instead of just using his meager savings.

Zhou Qi encouraged Lin Yifeng to express his views on taking over the second factory and asked about his understanding of the company and its future plans.

Lin Yifeng admitted that he did not have a comprehensive understanding of the company, but he had his own ideas about product diversification. He believed that Pinliangpu's product range should be richer.

In this regard, Zhou Qi pointed out that being able to focus on making a product to perfection is itself a great achievement.

Lin Yifeng nodded in agreement and said, "I understand. The development from a small factory limited to the county to the national market does prove your success. To some extent, you have done a great job in canning fruit."

"However, our current market share in the country is less than 60%." Zhou Qi smiled and said to Lin Yifeng, "We are still far from being truly excellent. How do you think we should increase our market share?"

Lin Yifeng shook his head and said frankly: "I'm not sure, because this is beyond my current ability. If I were in charge of the second plant, my first priority would be to ensure its normal operation.

Maybe over time I’ll find a way to solve the problem, or maybe I’ll find I still lack the experience to solve it.”

Zhou Qi was satisfied with this answer. The first step in doing business is to be clear about your own positioning. If Lin Yifeng talked big or answered casually for the sake of showing off, it would only appear unrealistic.

Zhou Qi smiled and said, "So, if you take over the second factory, what will be your first step?"

“Although the second and fourth factories appear to be integrated, in fact, in my opinion, they are more like independent entities.”

Lin Yifeng paused and continued, "I think the Second Branch is not only the logistical support for the Fourth Branch, it also has greater potential."

“The factory’s capacity is not fully utilized, so I think we can use the second plant to develop new products.”

Zhou Qi nodded slightly, agreeing with Lin Yifeng's point of view.

In fact, the production capacity of the second branch was only used about half, and its main task was to supply raw materials to the fourth branch to improve its efficiency.

Despite this, Plant 2 still has a lot of untapped potential.

"What new products do you plan to develop?" Zhou Qi asked.

Lin Yifeng did not answer directly, but stood up and poured some water into Zhou Qi's teacup.

He then took out several transparent plastic bags from the black bag he was carrying.

"Please taste these." Lin Yifeng said as he opened the bags.

Zhou Qi saw that the bag was filled with various dried fruits, including preserves made from peaches, apples, sweet potatoes, apricots, mangoes and kiwis.

Zhou Qi picked up a piece of dried sweet potato and took a look at it. It looked ordinary, covered with a layer of light white substance.

Looking at the dried fruits in other bags, they were also covered with unknown powder.

Zhou Qi tried a small bite and found it tasted fresh and sweet, with a soft and chewy texture.

This thing is also sold on the market, but the one in front of me tastes much better than the ones on the market. It is softer and more elastic, and very delicious.

"Where did you buy it?" Zhou Qi asked curiously.

Lin Yifeng looked at him and asked, "How do you think it tastes?"

"pretty good."

"I did that with my own hands."

Zhou Qi looked at Lin Yifeng in surprise: "Did you do all this yourself?"

Lin Yifeng nodded and explained, "It's hard to eat fresh fruit when we drive long distances. I don't smoke, so I tend to get sleepy after driving for a long time. One time I met an auntie selling this kind of dried fruit in a small town. I tried it and thought it was very good."

"I heard you say that you were planning to let me take over the second factory, and the second and fourth factories mainly produce canned fruits, so I thought of this."

"When I was driving again after the Chinese New Year, I met the lady again, so I spent money to buy her secret recipe. After I came back, I tried to make it several times according to the secret recipe and added my own improvements. Although the taste is a little different, I think it may be tastier this way."

After hearing this, Zhou Qi smiled.

Needless to say, just based on the taste and texture of this dried sweet potato, with just a little modification, it can find a place in the market.

I never expected that Lin Ruixue provided the recipe for canned fruit, and my brother-in-law Lin Yifeng provided the secret recipe for preserved fruit. This family is truly a treasure trove.

I have to say that Lin Yifeng really has some unique vision and ideas.

Just seeing the dried fruits sold on the roadside can make you think of these things.

Zhou Qi drank some water to rinse his mouth, then tasted several other dried fruits. Each one had a unique flavor, which improved upon the original fruity aroma.

This can be made into a series of products.

Pinliang Shop, a complete series of dried fruits.

Zhou Qi asked about the specific production process.

These dried fruits are all made using traditional methods. Some need to be boiled and soaked in honey, some need to be dried and pickled with sugar and salt, and some need to have some auxiliary spices added.

A simple dried fruit actually requires more than a dozen processes, but all of them are pure natural, additive-free and healthy foods.

Zhou Qi also understood what the powder attached to the surface of the dried fruit was.

It could be dried crystals of honey, a mixture of sugar and salt in powder, or a mixture of various spices.

This thing is difficult to replicate without a secret recipe.

Just like canned fruit, it is a secret recipe and unique.

Moreover, these were all improved by Lin Yifeng himself, so there is no issue of infringement.

This can indeed be done.

Zhou was very satisfied, but he did not show it. Instead, he asked Lin Yifeng: "What specific ideas do you have?"

Lin Yifeng didn't say much and directly handed Zhou Qi a notebook.

Zhou Qi took it and looked at it. Although the drawings were messy, it recorded Lin Yifeng's overall vision for the dried fruit project and a list of the equipment needed. This surprised Zhou Qi.

Because this book is actually a detailed project plan.

Although not professional, the content is thorough.

Obviously, Lin Yifeng did a lot of research and preparation.

Although these dried fruits are produced in small batches, Zhou Qi knows that they are the result of Lin Yifeng's many trials and failures.

In recent times, Lin Yifeng has spent almost all his time on this project.

He stayed up late every day until dawn, and this is how he spent the past half month.

The contents of this notebook reflect Lin Yifeng's efforts and determination better than those dried fruits.

Because it was an era without the Internet, Lin Yifeng had to go to libraries and other places to collect information and organize it bit by bit.
