Chapter 507: Vacuum Packaging Machine
The most pressing issue at the moment is where to get this vacuum packaging machine.
The problem with the vacuum packaging machine is actually bigger, but it is not so bad now. In the 1980s, it was unclear whether there was such a packaging machine in China, let alone ordering it in large quantities.
I remember that the first thing that became popular was the vacuum machine, but the technical content was not high and the scope of use was limited. In short, the vacuum machine was the first time that people began to seriously make a major research in vacuum preservation, but the vacuum machine had many flaws and was basically immature, and its scope of application was really limited.
With the development of the times, the second generation of vacuum fresh-keeping packaging machines finally appeared. This generation of machines has exquisite craftsmanship and a completely different scope of application. More and more people can appreciate the usefulness of this machine. After all, after the oxygen is extracted, no matter what food it is, it can exist longer, and the taste will basically not change significantly.
The vacuum preservation method has actually been used by some people, but the old workshop of dried bean curd has obviously not thought of this method. Their limitations are too great. They are always thinking about whether they can make changes in the formula or materials. They don’t know that the development of dried bean curd has reached its peak today, and the most they can do in the future is to make some changes in taste.
Li Yi looked at the old smoker and Su Fu in front of him, and said earnestly:
"Dried bean curd is indeed an old brand. I admit this. Citizens who have eaten and like dried bean curd also admit it, but the key is to keep pace with the times! What era is it now?"
"People want to try something new, and they inadvertently ignore some old objects. Just like a sentence I once heard, if a blind man sees the light again, the first thing he throws away is the crutches that have always been with him!"
When the old smoker heard this, he was a little puzzled. What does this sentence have to do with dried bean curd?
Has dried bean curd fallen to the level of a thrown away crutches?
Li Yi said with a smile:
"Of course, the surface meaning of this sentence is not like this. To put it simply, people will subconsciously discard some things that they will not use in the future, or that they feel are an eyesore. This cane is actually just one of them. Think about it, if the shelf life of dried bean curd is only three days, will fewer and fewer people buy it?
Old sir, are you finding it increasingly difficult to make dried bean curd in your workshop now?"
"Why can spicy strips surpass dried bean curd?
It is probably because spicy strips have a long shelf life, are they sufficiently up-to-date, and are cheap. That's the problem."
Li Yi sighed slowly and said in a deep voice:
"The blind man can see and throw away his cane. Isn't this a natural and common sense thing?
Who should be blamed?
Blame the blind man for being ruthless and ungrateful?
Or blame the light for coming too quickly?"
Hearing the last sentence, the old smoker suddenly felt enlightened!
That's right, what Li Yi said was absolutely right.
Dried bean curd can't escape the one that keeps up with the times after all. Wang Shusheng was actually right. He actually knew this truth in advance!
But even so, Wang Shusheng's biggest problem lies in the recipe of the dried bean curd. He is not well-trained, and his secret recipe of dried bean curd is not as popular as it used to be!
Sighing slowly, the old smoker stood up, came to Li Yi's side, and said in a deep voice:
"It seems that the road we are walking is getting narrower and narrower. Is it too late to change the road now?"
Li Yi smiled and nodded, saying:
"It's too late, how can it be too late?"
As for the cooperation, the old smoker intends to go back and discuss it with the other two junior brothers. Li Yi has already put forward his own conditions, that is, the old dried bean curd workshop must be crowned with the trademark of Kaoshan Village Food Processing Factory. In exchange, Li Yi will help them completely solve the problem of vacuum preservation. Both sides are full of sincerity, so the business is naturally easy to talk about.
Simply put, the dried bean curd product will be under Li Yi's control in the future. Li Yi will provide a large number of vacuum fresh-keeping packaging machines in Jiangping. After solving this problem, Li Yi will have to hand over to some large supermarkets by himself. He must first make the dried bean curd famous, right?
In the future, the dried bean curd and Li Yi will be on the same boat. Li Yi will naturally do his best to take responsibility. The specific details need to be discussed in detail, but the general things have been settled.
Watching the figures of the old smoker and Su Fu slowly disappear at the door of the factory, Li Yi sighed and turned to look at Wei Sanpao.
Wei Sanpao immediately understood what Li Yi meant, scratching his head and saying:
"This... Brother Yi, aren't you giving me a problem?
I found the screw extruder, which is already the limit. I have never heard of this vacuum packaging machine..."
Li Yi smiled bitterly and suddenly thought of the packaging factory he had visited before. Wang Dong was not the director of the packaging factory, and he was also from Jiangnan City. Was he considered a fellow villager?
He must have a way to get this vacuum packaging machine!
Even if he doesn't have it, he should know some ways, right?
Thinking of this, Li Yi immediately picked up the phone on the table and dialed the number of the director's office of the packaging factory.
After a while, the call was connected, and Li Yi said with a smile:
"Director Wang, it's me, Li Yi, how is the packaging box of the self-heating hot pot recently?"
Wang Dong's voice came from the receiver:
"Don't worry, it's ready now. We just finished the test and there are no major problems, but the results of the random inspection are still a little unstable. After three or five days of debugging, it should be perfect!"
Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to ask him about the packaging machine.
After listening to Li Yi's words, Wang Dong smiled and said:
"I don't have a vacuum packaging machine here. You know that I only have external packaging here, but I know where to find it. I have a phone number here. It's a mechanical equipment manufacturing plant. I am an old classmate of a manager in the factory. You can contact him about this matter!"
"I believe he has no reason to refuse such a big business, and the quality of the vacuum packaging machines they have is the best!"
Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then the two of them exchanged greetings for a while. Li Yi wrote down the phone number and dialed the call.
"Hello?
Hello, who is this?"
Li Yi said in a deep voice:
"I'm looking for Mr. Qin. I wonder if Mr. Qin Jianguo is here?"
The person on the other end of the phone said:
"I am Qin Jianguo. May I ask who you are?"
Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief and replied:
"I am the director of the Kaoshan Village Food Processing Factory in Jinyuan City. My name is Li Yi!"
