「Ding! Congratulations, you have on-site comprehended and learned from the top-tier dumpling manufacturing masters of this era. You have become the top-tier technology dumpling manufacturing master in the dumpling industry of this era, and obtained the reward of the memory and detailed information of the top-tier dumpling manufacturing methods and processes from the previous life」
After Leader Yang Sen finished receiving and hosting Factory Director Li Dafu,
The next day, Zhou Wenhua, who was far away at the new dumpling factory in Shanghai, was also already inside his own new dumpling factory, following the top-tier dumpling manufacturing masters he had recruited from all over the country, and had conducted on-site learning of the manufacturing methods for a day and a night.
It was also because of this that the system in his mind gave him a reward.
After Zhou Wenhua heard the reward sound from his own system,
He immediately beamed with joy,
Although he himself also knew how to wrap dumplings, and the general manufacturing process and methods for dumplings, that was only at the level of ordinary people from the previous life, and there was still a very large technical gap compared to the top-tier dumpling manufacturing masters from the previous life.
But now, using the magical function of the system, as long as he learned, he could become the top-tier manufacturing master in the industry. Zhou Wenhua also completed the transition from general level to top-tier master level in a very short time.
And also unlocked all the secrets and process methods for making dumplings known by the top-tier masters of dumpling manufacturing from the previous life.
So Zhou Wenhua felt that once he possessed these superb manufacturing techniques,
Then his dumpling factory would find it hard not to have good business.
For a company and enterprise to achieve commercial success, it must have first-class product quality. This is the most important foundation for survival in commercial competition.
Without good product quality, no matter how well marketing, customer service, and management are done, there will be no repeat customers.
“Boss!”
“The dumpling inventory level you instructed, we have already met the standard and completed it. What about the next step for sales?”
“Wholesale sales, or sales through department store channels?”
“Or self-produced and self-sold?”
Just as Zhou Wenhua received the system’s top-tier dumpling manufacturing technology reward,
His newly recruited new factory director Liang Zhenyu, who had been on board for a week, also walked to his side at this time to make a report.
“Mm! First go through market stall wholesale, as well as wholesale channels in various department stores!”
“Also hold an investment promotion conference to attract agents for nationwide distribution!”
“At the investment promotion conference, let the people attending the investment promotion conference do taste tests!”
“Additionally, can the self-operated dumpling shops I asked you to open on the Shanghai and capital sides open for business tomorrow?”
“I must create the first explosively popular dumpling specialty store within a week to attract more franchise agents!”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wenhua didn’t think twice and revealed all the sales channel methods he had planned early in the morning.
“Yes! They can open tomorrow! I already inspected them today! Boss!”
New Factory Director Liang Zhenyu nodded in response.
“Good! Your work efficiency is excellent!”
“Then tonight, all management will hold a meeting here on how to handle the opening situation of each self-operated shop tomorrow!”
“Also, have the recruited workers transport the dumplings for opening use to the freezers at the shops for storage!”
“Tomorrow morning, immediately open for business. They can do dine-in, or buy raw dumplings to take home for cooking!”
Zhou Wenhua continued to instruct.
“Yes! I’ll go arrange the meeting right away, as well as transport the dumplings and prepare the goods source at each specialty store!”
New Factory Director Liang Zhenyu quickly responded.
“Good! I will also judge the operation methods of our self-operated shops and the decoration plans based on the business situation, because the six self-operated shops opening now were previously used by my father as noodle shops and other food shops. I haven’t finished designing and decorating them yet!”
“But to quickly know the customers’ reputation for our newly launched dumplings, I just made six new signboards, had people clean the shops, tidy them up, and open!”
Seeing that New Factory Director Liang Zhenyu was very obedient and followed instructions, Zhou Wenhua nodded in satisfaction and continued to supplement.
“Yes! Boss!”
New Factory Director Liang Zhenyu responded briefly.
Then, he hurriedly went to arrange tonight’s meeting affairs and the goods source storage affairs for tomorrow’s opening sales of dumplings. For a moment, he was very busy.
Navy Department Headquarters,
“Damn it! These foreigners are really too detestable!”
“I just want to build a seaplane carrier like the Huajia, that can carry 8 seaplanes, with a basic crew of over 200, regularly equipped with over 200 rifles and over 10 motorboats, capable of carrying up to around 1000 soldiers at most, and also usable for landing operations!”
“These damn foreigners are actually opening their mouths so wide?”
“Asking for 38 million US dollars?”
“Even using a merchant ship for modification costs 12 million US dollars?”
“Are they robbing money?”
After Leader Yang Shuzhuang heard the lion’s-mouth prices quoted by the United States, Britain, and several other foreign powers for building seaplane carriers,
He immediately flew into a rage and cursed.
Although Zhou Wenhua had donated a large sum of money to him to build seaplane carriers,
Facing these foreigners who were like robbers, he felt that the few million national currency donated by Zhou Wenhua was simply a drop in the bucket.
Not even enough to fill the foreigners’ teeth gaps,
“Since that’s the case, Leader, perhaps we don’t need those foreigners to build seaplane carriers for us!”
“We can have the Jiangnan Shipyard, under Director Ye’s leadership, build two more like the Zhenhai seaplane carrier that can carry 2 seaplanes, or modify our 932-ton shallow-water gunboats ‘Desheng Hao Seaplane Carrier’ and ‘Weisheng Hao Seaplane Carrier’ into seaplane carriers to build our new seaplane carriers!”
“At that time, we only spent around 170,000 national currency to modify those armed merchant ships into shallow-water gunboats and seaplane carriers, although they could only carry 2 seaplanes!”
“But it was already enough for our combat deployment, better than nothing!”
Regarding Leader Yang’s anger,
Second Fleet Leader Chen Shaokuan then proposed his suggestion.
Upon hearing this, Leader Yang glanced at him, as well as First Fleet Leader Chen Jiliang, National Revolutionary Army Training Fleet Leader Officer Li Jingxi, and Navy New Ship Supervising Officer Li Shijia beside him, soliciting their personal opinions.
Finally, these three high-level navy officers also nodded in agreement with Second Fleet Leader Chen Shaokuan’s proposal.
“Good! Since you all agree with Shaokuan’s proposal, then let’s do it that way!”
“Have Jiangnan Shipyard use the limited funds to build two more seaplane carriers like the ‘Desheng Hao Seaplane Carrier’ and ‘Weisheng Hao Seaplane Carrier’!”
“We don’t have to hand it over to those foreigners who open their mouths so wide to build!”
Seeing that the senior officers under him all unanimously agreed with Second Fleet Leader Chen Shaokuan’s proposal,
Leader Yang immediately made the decision.
All high-level navy officers nodded in unison in support.
Thus, soon, Jiangnan Shipyard Chief Engineer Ye Zaifu, Engineer Chen Ziting and other senior engineers, as well as Director Ma Deji, also received Leader Yang’s instructions to manufacture seaplane carriers.
