Chapter 426: Intention to Cooperate
To be honest, Qin Yu is not optimistic about the traditional pastry market, at present, Western-style pastries are the mainstream, it is too difficult to reverse this situation, although Feng Ji pastry is the leader of the pastry industry, but with the strength of their family, it is almost impossible to carry forward the traditional pastry.

After thinking for a while, Qin Yu didn't immediately refuse, but asked with a straight face: "Old Mr. Feng, I admire your spirit, but in business, I want to ask first, I don't know what kind of way you plan to cooperate with me?"
Old man Feng didn't feel disappointed, after all, at their level, cooperating on a project is not a trivial matter, and it must be discussed in detail before making a final decision, if Qin Yu agrees without saying a word, he will be worried.
"I know that Dr. Qin is a busy man, and it is impossible to spend a lot of time making pastries, otherwise you will make the recipe, and I will be responsible for the production and sales channels, as for the cost of raw materials, everyone will pay half, what do you think?" Old man Feng said.
This kind of cooperation sounds feasible, but one thing that others don't know is that the ingredients are so important that these pastries are more delicious than ordinary pastries, and even if they are made in the same way, the taste of pastries made from human ingredients will be much worse.
"Mr. Feng, you have been engaged in the pastry industry for decades, and you must know that the quality of pastries is not only related to the production method, but also to the raw materials. Qin Yu picked up a piece of red bean cake and continued: "The ingredients I use are not ordinary ingredients, let's just say that this red bean cake has a much more delicate taste than other similar products, and everyone must be able to taste it easily."
Old Man Feng was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Are the ingredients used to make these pastries very special?"
Qin Yu nodded and said: "It's quite special, the quality is much higher than ordinary ingredients, and it is precisely for this reason that the pastries made can reach the current taste."
Hearing Qin Yu's answer, Old Man Feng showed a look of disappointment on his face, high-quality ingredients also mean that the price increases, traditional pastries are not popular in the market, if the price is too high, it will only lose more customers.
Seeing him so lost, Qin Yu was a little unbearable, and said: "Mr. Feng, I can buy ordinary ingredients to try to make a pastry, see how the effect is, and then compare it with your Feng Ji pastry, if the taste is good, let's talk about cooperation."
Old Man Feng's eyes lit up suddenly, although the ingredients are the key, but the production method is also very important, maybe using ordinary ingredients instead can make very delicious pastries.
After half past ten in the evening, the guests who participated in the auction left one after another, Old Man Feng yawned a few times in a row, shook his head and sighed: "Old, really old, I didn't feel sleepy when I stayed up late to make pastries before, but now I can't hold it if I sleep a little late, you can't be full of physical strength for you young people."
After sitting for a while, Old Man Feng left the health bar, Qin Yu sent him to the car before returning, Ma Songbai and Liu Qingying were still there.
Originally, Qin Yu planned to talk to Fang Wenbo about the Yin Clan after the auction, but who knew that he was dragged by Old Man Feng, so he had to give up for the time being, anyway, there will be opportunities in the future, so there is no need to rush for a while.
Sitting back in the chair, Qin Yu sighed with emotion: "Mr. Feng is a person with a true temperament!"
Ma Songbai nodded and said: "Mr. Feng is different from most of us, he has made pastries for most of his life, and he has a unique feeling for traditional pastries, which we do not have."
As Ma Songbai said, if Old Man Feng is worried about business, he can turn his main business direction to Western-style pastries, and with the reputation that Feng Ji Pastries has saved over the years, he will not worry about having no customers at all.
Obviously, he is really worried about traditional pastries, maybe some people will think that he is too persistent, or even stubborn, and does not know how to follow the trend of the times, but if there is no such stubborn person, it will not take a few years, and it will be difficult to see pastries made by traditional craftsmanship on the market.
The next morning, Qin Yu drove to the market and bought some mung beans and red beans and other ingredients for making pastries, preparing to try to make them according to the production method in his memory.
The result made him quite excited, although the few pastries made were not as good as those purchased from the divine realm, they were much more delicious than ordinary pastries, and most importantly, there was no need for food additives such as flavors, and there were no such things in the divine realm, so the production methods of pastries were all continuation of the ancient method.
After receiving Qin Yu's call, Old Man Feng put down all the affairs at hand, immediately rushed to the health bar, and brought a series of products from Feng Ji Pastries.
After tasting it, Old Man Feng suppressed the excitement in his heart and said: "The taste is almost the same as what I ate last night, but there is indeed a certain gap in the taste, and the ordinary ingredients are obviously rough, but they are much stronger than what we Feng Ji made!"
Qin Yu was no longer modest, he tasted the pastries he made, and also tasted the ones brought by Old Man Feng, and he could find the difference after a little tasting.
The results of the experiment came out, and Old Man Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if the traditional pastries on the market were as delicious as those made by Qin Yu, they would not be in the current situation.
"Doctor Qin, now we can talk about cooperation." Looking at the newly baked red bean cake, Old Man Feng's wrinkled face was full of smiles and said: "Product quality is the guarantee of sales, the pastries you made make me full of confidence in traditional pastries again, let's cooperate in the way we said last night, and the profits are also fifty-fifty, what do you think?" ”
Qin Yu pondered for a moment, this kind of cooperation sounded very fair, but in fact, he took a lot of advantage, as long as he came up with the recipe and some money, he could sit back and wait for the benefits, he could hardly find a reason to refuse.
Touching his chin, Qin Yu said with concern: "Mr. Feng, I learned about it yesterday, Feng Ji pastry is now in charge of Ling Gongzi, does he know about cooperation?" ”
"I haven't told him yet, but I'm sure he'll agree to it after tasting your pastry." Old man Feng said with certainty.
Qin Yu didn't know about the other people in charge of Feng Ji pastries, Old Man Feng was so keen on traditional pastries because he had dealt with these things for decades and had a feeling in his heart, but his descendants might not be the same as him.
This is not difficult to understand, if Qin Yu is the person in charge of Feng Ji pastry, he will also give up traditional pastries and make Western-style pastries, because now the mainstream of the market is like this, and it is likely to be thankless to blindly maintain the original characteristics.
"Elder Feng, I think you can communicate with your family first, and if you are sure that you can cooperate, we will negotiate the next step."
Hearing the concerns in Qin Yu's words, Old Man Feng didn't force it anymore, and he also understood why Qin Yu had such worries.
This concern is not completely unreasonable, because except for him, the old man, the rest of the Feng family does not support the continuation of the traditional pastry business, and most of them advocate putting all their energy into the operation of Western-style pastries, if it were not for his insistence, Feng Kee Pastry would have cancelled that piece of business.
Feng Ji Pastry is a family business, although Old Man Feng has a strong authority, but a few years ago, he handed over the management to his two sons, if they don't agree, Old Man Feng has no choice.
When he returned to Feng's house, he immediately called his eldest son Feng Yao and told him in detail about Qin Yu.
Feng Yao, the current chairman and general manager of the company, couldn't help but have a headache when he heard his father mention traditional pastries again, and hung up the phone after a few perfunctory words.
He had heard of Qin Yu's name and knew that this person was a rising star in the business world of Jiangnan Province, who had risen to prominence in just one year and made amazing achievements, but he didn't think that a layman like Qin Yu could change the pastry industry.
Old man Feng is also a human being, of course, he could hear that his son was perfunctory, so he didn't take his words to heart at all, sighed, and dialed the phone to his second son Feng Luo.
Compared with Feng Yao, Feng Luo is not so resistant to traditional pastries, and has always maintained an attitude of neither supporting nor opposing it, he serves as the deputy general manager of the company, and if he is willing to support, the feasibility is still very large.
However, this time Feng Luo did not support the old father, he and his eldest brother Feng Yao had similar ideas, Qin Yu has a high status in the cosmetics industry and the tea industry, but it does not mean that it will work in the pastry industry, it is very fatal for a layman to lead an insider.
