Chapter 528 Money is Burning
After chatting with Han Guoren, Nanyi took Fan Hongdou to Wenchang Food and Beverage Research Institute.
The research institute was originally affiliated to Wenchang Food Factory, but it became independent at the beginning of the year and became an independent research institution responsible for its own profits and losses.
Putting on protective clothing, after disinfection, the two entered the research institute.
There are not many researchers in the institute. The director, Du Yanjiu, plus three main researchers, and four apprentices who can't do much work.
Du Yanjiu used to be a technician in a large food factory in the north. His technology was so simple, but his mind was very flexible. After Wenchang Food Factory sold hawthorn slices and fruit peels, he suggested that his own factory follow suit.
Unfortunately, his opinion was not adopted, and his girlfriend who had been with him for three years thought he couldn't get seventy-two legs and broke up with him, so he ran to Wenchangwei to seek refuge.
This kid is very methodical. He worked in Wenchangwei for nearly three months before he ran back to resign. Before that, he used sick leave notes to fool the factory.
It is precisely because he has this method that he can become the director of the research institute.
When Nanyi and the two entered the research institute, Du Yanjiu was "doing research" with the researchers on a pile of snacks on the table.
"Is it tasty?"
"It's not tasty, the sweetness is too high, and it's a bit greasy."
"It's not soft enough, you need to add more leavening agent."
Listening to the conversations of the researchers, Nan Yi felt a sense of pride. It turns out that doing research is so simple, and he can also be a researcher.
So he also leaned over and said, "Did you add potassium metabisulfite?"
"Add a fart preservative to the biscuit, so you don't have to worry about selling it at all." Du Yanjiu replied, and suddenly realized something was wrong, so he looked back, "Accountant Nan, I said so."
"Fuck!" Nan Yi spat.
Du Yanjiu's "I said", he can understand what it means, doesn't it mean that he pretends to understand when he doesn't understand.
"No preservatives in the cookies?"
"No, the biscuits have been dehydrated, so they can be stored in bulk for three months, and in bags with a desiccant in one year." Du Yanjiu said bluntly.
"Oh." Nanyi responded and asked, "Is the research on Popping Candy successful?"
"I researched it ten years ago. I was tricked by you. The food factory thought the production cost was too high, so I didn't buy it. You came just in time, so pay the money quickly. The high temperature fee of the research institute has not been paid yet."
It's good that Nanyi didn't mention Jumping Candy, but when he mentioned it, Du Yanjiu became angry.
Nanyi didn't think Du Yanjiu's attitude was disobedient, and said kindly, "Which step is more expensive?"
"Of course it's the step of injecting compressed carbon dioxide into the sugar. The food factory doesn't have ready-made machines, so they have to buy them again. They can't be bought in China. They have to go abroad to buy them, and the cost is more than 200,000 US dollars."
"Understood, I will talk to the food factory."
The research institute is responsible for its own profit and loss. The only profit model is to develop new snacks and hand them over to the food factory for production. The food factory will distribute the bill to the research institute according to a fixed ratio according to the sales volume. It is the nature of patent royalties and lasts for two years. .
If the food factory does not buy into the research results of the research institute, the research institute will be caught blind.
However, this is an extreme situation. In fact, under normal circumstances, the research direction is generally designated by the food factory, and the research institute receives the order to carry out directional research, and there will be no situation of not buying it.
Jumping candy is an exception. This research direction was proposed by Nanyi.
"Accountant Nan, do you want to try it?" Du Yanjiu picked up a biscuit on the table and said.
"Thanks, no need. Let me ask you, is the formula of Papa Nan's Children's Nutrition Oral Solution finalized?"
"It has been finalized early, honey, hawthorn, red dates, calcium gluconate, lotus seeds, wolfberry, coix seed, longan, added some hydrolyzed protein, zinc gluconate, citric acid, ferrous sulfate for coloring agent, sorbic acid for preservative .
It's sweet and delicious. In terms of efficacy, it has the functions of immune regulation and digestion. You can read about other effects. "
"What about the cost?" Nan Yi asked.
Du Yanjiu raised the biscuit in his hand again, and said, "10ml is equal to two biscuits."
"Very good. Before long, you will become an internationally renowned food researcher. Let me give you an English name. How about DuPont?" Nan Yi said playfully.
"DuPont, I'm going to pay Ford back, accountant Nan. If it's fake, don't forget to give it."
"Sit in a row and divide the fruit is the fine tradition of Wenchangwei. It's yours, and you won't lose a penny. The formula of the oral liquid is refined and refined, sublimated and sublimated to make it a higher level. After the New Year, this product It should be ready to go.”
Du Yanjiu asked confusedly: "How to refine? How to sublimate?"
"Add high-priced medicinal ingredients to the formula, such as ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, and deer antler. You can do whatever you want, as long as the oral liquid looks expensive for a reason."
After Nanyi finished speaking, he took Fan Hongdou and left directly.
"How much do you add?"
Du Yanjiu's voice chased after him.
"A single ginseng has been handed down for three generations, and the great-grandson is still there when he is old."
"The profiteer!"
...
On the third day back to Wenchangwei, Nan Yi and Fan Hongdou circled around their vegetable field.
On the fourth day, two little Dongyangs, a man and a woman, came to the village.
"Men San'er Sang, is he still alive?"
"I can't die for the time being. Hurry up. I'm going back to Tokyo after signing the contract. There are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with."
There are two long bloody marks on Man San'er's neck, needless to say, they must be the masterpiece left by Emma.
"Hurry up, there are still a few days before the Ugly Earth Day arrives. When the eels are transported back, there is still time to put the bubble water in Aichi County."
In ancient times, there were water-soaked crabs, but now there are water-soaked eels.
When it comes to eels, the ones in Aichi Prefecture are very expensive. Like the lake crabs, they are a business card of Japanese eels.
The first batch of formally farmed eels of the Reclamation Group has reached the point of shipment, and most of them will be sold directly to Yama no Mi, and transported to Aichi County to soak in water for a few days, turning Wenchang products into Aichi products.
A small part is kept by itself to find Japanese merchants, which are used to build the reclamation group's own eel brand.
As for the reason for doing this, it is actually very simple. The price of Wenchang eels is still not high, and the price will be several times lower than that of Aichi products, but the quality is not bad. The quality of Wenchang eels is higher than that of some Aichi products. one chip.
"It's okay if you don't rush. There are a lot of things to collect, and it's not just eels. Let's go, Director Ge, let's study the contract details." Man San'er pulled Nan Yi away and talked directly to Ge Cuizhu.
Nan Yi, who was pulled away, didn't bother Men San'er and the others to talk about business. He found a seat by himself and waved to the school.
Xiaohua immediately put a refrigerator on the table next to Nanyi, opened the box, and took out a golden box that looked similar to a cosmetics box.
Nan Yi opened the box, twisted a few black round beads from inside, and stuffed them into his mouth.
Then, he bared his teeth and grinned, his liver trembling.
"Master Nan, I'm sorry, I'm willing to eat such an expensive caviar." Man San'er, who was talking about the contract with Ge Cuizhu, looked up and said when he saw the box next to Nanyi.
"You know what, Auntie, take it and taste it, and tell me, how much do you think this stuff is worth?"
Nanyi closed the box and slid it towards Ge Cuizhu.
"Nanyi, I know this thing, it's quite expensive, more than a hundred dollars an ounce." Ge Cuizhu picked up the box and looked at it and said.
"Try it, I can't appreciate the smell, and this box is worth 5 yuan at most."
Ge Cuizhu obeyed, opened the box, twisted a little bit to taste, "It's delicious, but the price is too expensive, I don't think it's worth it."
"Auntie, your taste buds are better than mine." Nanyi gave a thumbs up and said, "Sturgeon is the next target of the farming group. In the past two years, life in the world has become better. The caviar Demand is growing and wild sturgeon are being harvested at an ever-increasing rate, and within a few years they will become endangered.
In the near future, the main source of caviar will be farmed sturgeon.
Reclamation Group and Yama no Taste can cooperate on sturgeon farming. The Reclamation Group is responsible for technical breakthroughs, and Yama No Taste uses its good relationship with major restaurants in Japan to build a brand. The two parties will work together to create a top caviar brand.
Men Saner, I bought two boxes of caviar in total, remember to reimburse me, and I won't ask you to reimburse the air freight. "
"When the cooperation is negotiated, we will be reimbursed according to the proportion of the shares." Men San'er said lightly.
"Hey, it's really a businessman."
"Must, must."
"Then you guys continue to discuss the contract. After it's settled, we'll talk about the caviar and go to my place for lunch at noon."
"Cold watermelon rind."
"I didn't buy watermelon, but water chestnut vine."
"That's fine."
Leaving the village committee, Nanyi took Fan Hongdou to the river embankment, and when he walked to the reed marshes, he could see a lot of snakeberries growing on the river bank, clumps of which formed into patches.
Nanyi picked a snakeberry, and said to Fan Hongdou, "Pick the ones that have turned black on the tip and have incomplete grains. The ones that have been bitten by insects taste the sweetest."
Said, Nanyi blew on the snakeberry, blowing off the bugs crawling on it, then pulled it with his hands, threw it into his mouth, took a bite, and the sweet juice burst in his mouth.
Fan Hongdou followed suit, threw one into his mouth, squinted his eyes after taking a bite and said, "Godfather, it's so sweet."
"Isn't it? This is a good thing. It can be used to cure many diseases. It is also called snake grass. If you are bitten by a snake, you can mash it and apply it on the bitten area. It is also very effective for abscesses. There is also a good medicine Anticancer effect.
Artificial planting is easy, and the godfather will let people do in-depth research. If the economic benefits are good, you can try planting thousands of acres first. "
"Sell it as fruit?"
Fan Hongdou picked a few more snakeberries and threw them into his mouth.
"When the fruit can't be sold at a high price, and the snakeberry is too widely distributed and can be seen everywhere, let's grow it as a medicinal material. It's hard to say now, let's wait for the research results to come out. Let's pick some and take it back and soak it in salt water. Eat, don’t eat too much, it’s easy to get diarrhea.”
"Uh-huh."
When Nanyi and Fan Hongdou were picking snakeberries, in the mountains of the northeast, more than 2,700 kilometers away, the two held a magnifying glass in their hands and squatted on the ground carefully observing a wild soybean plant.
"Wang, have you found out?"
"Eva, I see, there are no cyst nematodes on this strain."
"It seems that we have successfully found the gene that can resist cyst nematode disease. Wang, we will take samples and send them back to the research institute, and then camp here for further observation."
Eva unloaded her bag from her back, dug out two wild soybean plants from the soil with tools, put them in a strange-shaped container, and then called a person standing not far away to her side, "Joe, Send someone to escort this back to the research institute as soon as possible, and Wang and I will camp here for a long time to prepare supplies."
"Yes, Professor Eva."
Qiao responded and took the utensil solemnly.
Coincidentally, at the beach of Hutoupo in Leizhou Peninsula, Guangdong Province, a man was staring at a reed-like plant with fringes in the reed marsh, in a daze.
This plant is very strange, showing the spectacle of flowering, fruiting, and earing at the same time, with long thorns on the fruit.
"Chen, this should be a wild sea rice." A foreigner named Yang said.
"Yes, Yang, this wild sea rice is comparable to the wild rice we found in North Australia. I don't know how it tastes."
"You can try."
"No, we can't destroy it. Let's look on the ground to see if there are any fallen seeds."
After dinner at Wenchangwei, Nanyi and Fan Hongdou passed the customs and went to Xiangtang.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Nanyi was sitting in his study at No. 2046 Repulse Bay, looking at the financial statements of Shennong Nanliang. When he saw that the Fansheng Research Institute had spent 112.7 million US dollars so far this year, his liver trembled.
"It's fucking expensive to do research."
However, thinking that Fanshengzhi now has 27 sub-research institutes around the world, has sent 103 field expedition teams, and needs to maintain 13 helicopters and 12 scientific expedition planes, Nanyi feels it should be taken for granted.
"Stay on it. After ten years, if you burn tens of billions, you will always see a return." Nanyi sealed the report heavily, and then signed each fund application form.
That night, Nan Yi was so distressed that he couldn't sleep all night.
