Chapter 681: Cup Noodles and Bowl Noodles Came Out

"Okay, now I'm going to divide the funds of our three major divisions of Minamino Foods, namely the artificial food department, genetically modified food, and puffed food!" said Nanno Shuichi loudly as he stood on it.

His food company is composed of these three departments, and the classification of the three departments is different, and the division of funds will be different. Among them, the R&D and production cost of puffed food is the lowest, and then there is genetically modified food, which can be done once genetically modified plants are studied. Finally, and the most expensive R&D, is artificial food. This requires a variety of science and technology to develop.

"The capital for puffed food is 50 million US dollars, the development of genetically modified food is 400 million US dollars, and the artificial food is 550 million US dollars!" said Minamino Shuichi.

These funds are not only used for research and development, but also include various expenses such as opening factories, establishing sales outlets, establishing transportation channels, foreign sales outlets, sales channels and cooperation.

In other words, this sum of money contains the whole of this industry!

Dragon.

Among them, why genetically modified foods and artificial foods need so much money is because of the consideration of the product research and development of the second, third, and Nth phases in the future. For example, genetically modified food, genetically modified rice, genetically modified corn, genetically modified eggplant, genetically modified potatoes, genetically modified soybeans, genetically modified ...... Anyway, as long as it is a crop, it can be developed to be genetically modified. This is a huge century-level industrial chain, and investing hundreds of millions of dollars is a long-term vision for him.

There are also artificial foods, artificial eggs, artificial meats, and all kinds of edible things......

"Now, I announce the ...... of the main responsible persons of the three divisions of Minamino Foods Company"

After a day of meetings, even the meals were eaten at the company. After a whole day, Shuichi Minamino finally arranged everything that should be said and arranged.

The funds arrived immediately the next day, because Nanye Food Company was registered a month ago, and immediately recruited various employees to set up factories after the funds arrived. As for the recruitment of various R&D professors, experts, scientists, agricultural professors, etc., it is entrusted to these high-level executives.

"No matter what, you have to recruit well-known professional experts and devote all your efforts to research and develop genetically modified crops, artificial foods, etc......"

As soon as the so-called boss spoke, the executives below all broke their legs, and the business machine of the Nanno Foundation began to run wildly. Due to the abundant funds, of course, it is easy to do it, and it is completely free of mud and water.

Whoever dares to drag it out, no matter what high-level you are, you will be fired!

On the third day, three factories began to be established, one is the spicy noodles production plant, the second is the instant noodle factory, and the third is the ground gourd oil processing plant.

These three are the easiest to produce, and they are also one of the three foods that Shuichi Minamino wrote about in the first phase of his plan.

The most difficult of these three foods is instant noodles, after all, instant noodles are really difficult to make delicious, and it is really difficult to never get tired of eating them. This recipe is very important, and with the joint research and development of a large number of gourmets, pastry chefs, and various experts, it was developed in just 2 months.

Instant noodles, also known as noodles, have actually appeared on the island country in the early years.

The person who invented instant noodles is called Ando, and its Nissin company is also a company that specializes in instant noodles. In later generations, Nissin Instant Noodle Company was definitely one of the largest producers of instant noodles. After all, instant noodles were invented by him.

In recent years, because he has not applied for a technology patent, many businesses have seen business opportunities in it, so it is estimated that there are dozens of small factories producing instant noodles in the entire island country.

In fact, the production of instant noodles started in 1959!

In 1959, Momofuku Ando, the father of instant noodles, ran his own small food factory. He is an active-minded person who is not satisfied with the status quo, and is always thinking about how to make his business bigger and bigger.

Ando rides the train every day and sees many people lining up in front of the restaurant next to the station, waiting to eat hot noodles. One day, he had an idea: if he could produce noodles that could be eaten with boiling water, home-travelers would be willing to buy them in large quantities. Therefore, he resolutely decided on the invention topic of developing "instant noodles".

Momofuku Ando immediately threw himself into invention experiments. He bought a flour mill and started the innovation of instant noodles under the suspicion of everyone.

In order to achieve "convenience and simplicity", he thought of "deep frying", so that the noodles can be fried quickly and stored easily. Noodles naturally have a lot of pores after frying, and these pores play a role in absorbing water when soaked in hot water, which can make instant noodles soften quickly, and the noodles will taste better after frying. During this time, he also invented a way to add seasonings to make his instant noodles delicious and tasty.

However, although he invented instant noodles, it was not quite complete. At present, there is only one muscle ramen on the market, and it was invented by Ando. Other businesses are following suit.

The most important thing is that the soup base of this muscle ramen does not have the chicken-like soup flavor of later generations. In other words, just some seasoning and muscle cubes are put in the ramen.

The taste is far inferior to the instant noodles of later generations!

In addition to this, the instant noodles of 1961 were not the cup noodles of later generations, they were served in paper cups, and they were not bowl noodles, they were served in paper bowls!

Instant noodles in 1961, no, all instant noodle producers, including Ando, the father of instant noodles, produced instant noodles in bags.

This kind of bagged instant noodles needs to be bought at home and soaked in boiling water in a bowl at home before eating, or boiled in a pot before eating!

In other words, instant noodles in paper bowls and cups have not yet been invented!

Instant noodles, with paper bowls and cups and bowls is the real instant noodles good? This reflects its aspect, with paper bowls, you only need to open the package and pour boiling water!

Historically, because many people generally did not have the habit of boiling water, and the tableware at home was mainly plates. In 1971, the Nissin Company of Ando, the father of instant noodles, invented a cup noodle container made of expanded polystyrene and sold it in the island nation for 100 yen (US$0.25), more than three times the price of bagged instant noodles at the time.

According to this news, it is said that instant noodles in bowls and cups were only invented in 1971. Now Shuichi Minamino is planning to win this patent and dominate the instant noodle industry.

What if you, the father of Ando instant noodles, invented instant noodles?

But Shuichi Minamino got the most successful patent for this instant noodle, which is also its biggest advantage.

…………

Two months later, Shuichi Minamino appeared at the headquarters of Minamino Foods.

In the office, he met the general manager Ji Gaojun.

"Have you invented both the paper bowl and the cup bowl that I asked you to invent?" asked Shuichi Minamino.

"Mr. Chairman, I lived up to my expectations, I invented it a week ago, and I have sent someone to apply for a patent four days ago, and I believe that it should be able to apply for it in a few days. By the way, our instant noodles have also been sampled. At present, there are four flavors, one is shiitake mushroom chicken flavor with chicken soup base, the second is spicy beef flavor with beef soup base, the third is seafood flavor with seafood soup base, and the fourth is sauerkraut flavor with hot and sour soup base...... "Ji Gaojun reported.

"Very good, let me ask you, can these instant noodles be launched next month?"

"Yes!" Ji Gao said confidently. The main reason is that this time the funds are sufficient, and the whole product is not fast in the process of research and development and sample production. Another is that the instant noodle plan in the plan book is very detailed, which saves them a lot of time.

That's why it can be done in three months!

Sometimes, having enough money is definitely a feeling that makes you feel fast.

"That's good, in that case, a week later you start shooting commercials to promote a wave of our instant noodles, yes, it's called Minamino instant noodles, haha......" Shuichi Minamino laughed.

He could imagine that when his Nanno instant noodles entered the market, they would definitely be well received. No, because the instant noodles are still in bags this year, and overall it is still too troublesome and not enough aspect. The second is the monotonous taste. And his instant noodles are different, they are really ready to eat when they are opened, open the bag, let go of the water, and they can be eaten in two or three minutes. Because the instant noodles are filled with bowls and cups, not other people's bags, you can just bring boiling water. Convenient, very aspect.

In addition to the aspect, that's the taste, you can choose from the four flavors!

It's another trick to attract customers.

A week later, the advertisement for Minamino instant noodles was officially released, which also announced the advent of instant noodles bowl noodles and cup noodles. This advertisement really caused a lot of sensation. Needless to say, it caused a big stir in the instant noodle world alone!

When those instant noodle producers, large and small, were shocked when they saw that people had invented bowls and paper cups, this idea, no, this invention really made instant noodles become instant noodles, and it was really reflected in the word convenience.

In addition to this, that is its taste, they didn't expect instant noodles to have N flavors.

Even Ando, the father of instant noodles, was stunned when he saw this advertisement.

Nissin Corporate Office.

When Ando looked at the instant noodle photo in the newspaper, he was so shocked that he couldn't forget it for a long time.

"This invention ...... surpassed me, all my previous efforts were ruined. I am the one who has made others! I have lost ......," Ando burst into tears. He's not stupid, he's smart, and he can see from this Minamino instant noodles that instant noodles are really established, and it's going to be a big hit.

It's a pity that he didn't think of this bowl and cup that looked very simple, but let the people on the side of the Nanno Foundation think that the instant noodles he invented became someone else's wedding dress, and his heart hurt!
