Chapter 294: The Flour Mill

There was a special reason why they had gathered in the private parlor of the first master tonight.

Because here, they welcome a very special group of new friends.

A team of officers sent by the National Revolutionary Army in the south, this team specially approved by the southern government to act in secret, will work with them, the local Shandong generals, from now on.

As a partner who will go hand in hand in the future, Mr. Chu feels that everyone should get to know each other first, so as to enhance understanding and avoid a lot of troubles in the future.

At the same time, the first master also expressed a signal to all those who are now inclined to the power of the first family through today's meeting.

A signal of Southernism.

This means that in the final war between the North and the South, which has not yet come, the position of the first family is on the side of the current government of the Republic of the South.

Regarding the decision of the first master, most of the people present did not express any problems.

Because for these pure soldiers, it is their duty to be a soldier worthy of the name, to let the soldiers of their army have food to eat, to be paid, and to obey orders and fight bravely when war comes.

The rest, not what they are thinking about.

After all, since they were united with the Chu family and accepted the funding and arrangement of the Chu family, they were part of the military strength of the Chu family.

In their opinion, their commander is not a direct superior in the current army, but this first master who recruits them and buys troops, develops their own ranks, equips them with equipment, and distributes money and food.

So now, their own prefect informs them that now we are part of the pro-southern government, is there any problem?

This is a very normal thing.

As for the first master, he distributed the army that they couldn't eat to these newcomers......

It's a bit greedy, but it's not unacceptable.

So, when others thought that the Chu family was about to be in great trouble, the first master ate the two integrated regiments he left for Chu Kaipeng within ten days after Tian Dujun left.

And the Zheng family's dream of wanting to take over this part of Tanaka Yu's legacy is afraid that it will be completely shattered.

The first master was preparing in an orderly manner, and of course, he would not forget to send a letter to each of the two people who should be notified.

In the letter, he expressed his willingness to protect the other party, and the order to stand by and watch for the time being, hoping that Shao Nianshi and Wang Shuzi, who were notified, would not be frightened by the news that Zhang Zongchang was about to arrive in Shandong.

After all, it was a big event, and Shao Nianshi, who received the letter, was also surprised for a moment when he first saw it, and then calmed down.

Because Shao Nianshi felt that Zhang Zongchang, before he finished solving his confidant's trouble, his so-called enemy was afraid that he would have to be in the back row.

Besides, although the current Zhang Zongchang is not the Zhang Dengguan of the past, the current Shao Nianshi is also not the original Shao Manchu.

In those poor years, his own family was dilapidated and became like that, Zhang Dengguan wanted to bully him, and he was now asking for money and people when he was young, although this Zhang Zongchang has become a person who can be pressed to the ground at will and oppressed at will......

But Shao Nianshi felt that he could still seize the opportunity and give the other party one or more painful counterattacks.

So Shao Nianshi was not afraid, not only was he not afraid, but he was also actively preparing for Zhang Zongchang's arrival.

Two days ago, his flour mill was officially opened, and although the family emblem was the symbol of the first family's name, the brand of flour produced by the flour mill was completely different from the flour produced by the first family today.

The flour produced by Shao Nianshi took the path of the high-end brand market.

It was probably the sales model of peach blossom maw that he made in Dong'e that opened up a trade route for his first family of Ejiao in big cities, and let him see a flour milling road with higher profits and relatively smaller production volumes.

Shao Nianshi ordered all the specifications of flour produced by his flour mill on the specifications of special first-class flour and special second-class flour.

The most commonly consumed ordinary flour is not produced much in their flour mill.

This arrangement happens to be different from the types of flour produced by the Chuyang brand flour mill opposite.

In the competition for market share, there will not be too much famine with the other party.

Besides, after all, there is still a share of the eldest young master in the flour mill in Shao Nian.

At the beginning, Shao Min tacitly accepted that the flour mill in which he was a shareholder, could the things produced compete with his own industry for business?

In order to make up for the singleness of the types of flour produced, he also specially found a gentleman from Jecheng Middle School who had studied abroad in Germany to translate the instructions for him to use the machine on the flour assembly line of his flour mill into Chinese.

Under the research of a group of old mechanics, on this basis, dumpling flour for making dumplings and bread flour for bread was added.

And this kind of flour is something that only people in big cities pay attention to buying.

So when Shao Nian's research came out, it didn't attract any attention from the industry.

After all, in the eyes of the owner of the flour mill, flour was originally a fast-moving consumer goods with small profits and quick turnover, and now you have so many gimmicks and produced so many high-quality flours, naturally it will not sell as fast as ordinary flour.

Once this flour is overstocked, it is too easy to produce unnecessary loss due to various reasons.

For these reasons, no one cared about the changes in this small flour mill during Shao Nianshi.

As a result, there are far fewer people staring at this rumored business wizard.

In this case, no one knew that Shao Nianshi had used the sales channel of Chuhetang peach maw to contact the foreign compradors in the concession area of the three major cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

With a bag of bread flour weighing only 1KG but with the most exquisite packaging, it knocked on the door of these foreign compradors.

If you want to talk about this China, there is chaos is a bit of chaos, but there are opportunities everywhere.

These red-nosed and green-eyed foreigners have come across the ocean to this chaotic country in order to make money and make a lot of money.

Although in this slightly backward country, they have fulfilled their dreams and obtained privileges that are difficult to enjoy at home, and by the way, they have also tasted exotic scenery and tasted the rich food here, but after they have put down roots here, they still miss the simplest recipes that belong to the West.

It's just that the special bread flour, oat flour, and even the special cereals they eat for breakfast are really not easy to find in the country of China.

More than a decade ago, they used only a donkey or the most primitive water mill to grind their freshly harvested wheat grains.

The flour that was served to the poor was coarse, blackened, and even mixed with a little dust and gravel, and they were not used to eating even the most ordinary citizens.

Therefore, when they want to change their taste and eat some noodles and wheat belonging to their own country, they can only rely on the ships that have crossed the ocean to deliver expensive imported flour to major department stores.

But now, a bag of flour in traditional Chinese packaging has been delivered to their home and handed to the hostess who arranges the meal.

When the maid in charge of cooking opened the paper bag, which was packed like an offering for the royal court, she found that the flour bag that led to the oriental artistic conception of treading snow and seeking plum blossoms contained the most commonly used bread flour in purebred foreign cooking shops.

"Oh, John!"

"Oh, Stephen!"

Such exclamations rang out in different homes on this night.

While they were amazed by the surprise they opened, they couldn't wait to taste what the bread would taste like when it was made from such packaged bread flour.

It didn't take long for the smell of Western-style dinner to waft through the area where foreigners gather the most.

In the red oven, the white bread is expanding as if it is inflated under the action of high temperature and baking powder.

It didn't take long for the crusts of the large toast bread to shrink and caramelize, and the small buttered meal packets bulged into the shape of a small hill, shaking and shaking the roasted sesame seeds on the top of the mountain, which could fall at any moment.

No matter how much the bread in this oven tries to beautify its appearance, it will not survive on the table tonight.

When these foreigners bite their teeth that are no different from the Chinese, they will know that the bread they eat made from the first-class fine bread flour of the Snowflake brand is no different from the flour they produce from the flour mills of France, England and other large countries.

The merchants who came to their homes with this bag of flour, which could be given to each other as a gift, quoted their butlers at half the price of foreign imported bread flour, which was slightly less.

If that's how it tastes......

The man of the house wiped the thick juice of the potato stew on the flat plate with a torn snow-white bread cube, and let the bread with sparse eyeholes suck all the soup on it, and then threw it into his mouth to complete the finishing work of the dinner.

No one knew that this last bite was the essence of the whole dinner.

"We can sell this kind of flour as an agent. ”

"Listen to what this free general agent said, if they get more, can they give some more discounts?"

"I remember that I was old friends with the owners of several Western restaurants, and if the bakery on the corner of the street had changed to this Snowflake flour, would the prices of their desserts and bread have dropped a little bit?"

There are many, many people who think like this.

These are not necessarily the biggest business among foreigners, but the network is definitely the largest group of tasting personnel, adhering to the principle of profitability, on the spontaneous promotion of Snowflake brand flour ambassadors.

Similarly, in Shandong, where Chuhetang is all over the country, this delicate and beautiful flour has also begun to be sold in pharmacies that take the high-quality route of Chinese patent medicine for medicinal and dietary therapy.

'Dumpling powder', 'bun powder', 'wonton powder', whatever kind of flour you have, they are all packed in small bags and small bags.

Let those young people who like to follow the trend and show that they are fine people are happy to see the hunt, and they can't wait to keep up with the trend of Shanghai and keep up with those celebrities.

These small bags of flour that can't be eaten by one person for long, but they are really beautiful, and the price is cheap compared to the expensive medicinal herbs next to them.

According to the request of the guests, the masters of the pharmacy can even mix sesame powder, yam powder, poria powder, and even a small amount of pearl powder into this fine flour, fry them together, and turn them into nutritional powder that can be brewed on the fly and sold.

This value-added service alone has added a lot of business to the pharmacy of Chu Hop Tong.

At the same time, it also increased the sales of Snowflake brand flour while selling the finished medicines in the shop.

And this way of eating flour has also been quickly popularized with the love of the elderly, and the desire of children.

In Shandong Province, every household knows about it, but wherever it has become a town, the way to eat this nutritious powder paste has been promoted.

With a two-pronged approach, since the opening of this flour mill in Shao Nianshi, the machine has never stopped, and it has been rumbling every day, and there is no worry about the products being taken out.

Such an idea, this kind of action of not taking traditional sales channels, made the first family who had never cared much about Shao Nian's stall turn their heads back to pay attention, and they couldn't help but be amazed.

"When you are young, when you are young, are you really taking one step and seeing two steps?"

"Could it be that when you were fighting with Le Qiye, when you wanted to find a way to restore the things on that ancient recipe to make that peach blossom gum, you had already thought about opening a flour mill?"

"Then you've become a little Zhuge and have no last resort, right?"

At this time, the eldest young master of the first family came to help the old man deliver the letter, and by the way, he followed Shao Nianshi, who was staring at the flour mill and watching the workers work at night, and was amazed by the scene of this busy work.

Shao Nian, who heard this, couldn't laugh or cry: "How is it possible, young master, I am a human being and not a god." ”

"When I was able to pick up the leaks, I didn't think much about it at all. ”

"In my eyes, it would be good for me to take advantage of the weakness of the Ying family to buy the property at the same low price as their family. ”

"As for what kind of industry I bought and whether this industry will make a lot of money in the future, I don't think much about it. ”

"It's just a coincidence. ”

Hearing this, Chu Shaomin admired it even more.

It doesn't matter what kind of business you can get, it's just a business anyway.

How can I say this, it's really the genius that his father said.
