With Jack's shrewdness and decisiveness, after discovering the great value of dried seaweed, he immediately made a decision, found the address of the rest of his life through his own connections, and visited him in person!

The head of Heinz gives face like this, and he will naturally not slack off for the rest of his life. In the later generations of economic globalization, I did not eat less food produced by Heinz for the rest of my life. Although it is not very suitable for the taste of the Chinese, it is convenient and quick to eat. What's more, Jack, a rich kid who is not a gentleman, still gives him a very good sense.

Before Jack arrived, it was clear that he had done his homework. He can even use simple Chinese to greet the rest of his life. However, he still followed the American practice of talking about business, and after a simple greeting, he got straight to the point.

"Mr. Yu, I am here for your patent for the production of dried seaweed, and I want to know, Mr. Yu is willing to sell the patent to Heinz Company? In addition, what kind of price does Mr. Yu think is appropriate? ”

"Dried seaweed?" Yu Sheng was a little surprised, "Jack, according to the herring restaurant's survey of the popularity of various dishes, Americans don't seem to be very receptive to this kind of food. Sales of dried seaweed have not been high, and most of the people who buy dried seaweed are Asians. Why is The Heinz Company interested in dried seaweed? ”

"Because dried seaweed is a very good food for military rations. At the very least, Heinz is willing to save the soldiers from the shadow of Spam! ”

What Jack said was purely an American joke. The rest of my life understood. Spam is a legendary name. Of the five types of military rations in the United States, the most commonly used and distributed in large quantities are rations B and D. The largest proportion of canned food in ration B is Spam luncheon meat, and ration D is Hershey's chocolate concentrated to the extreme!

These two kinds of military rations are made on the premise of ensuring the calories of food, and the taste is naturally not much better. Hershey's chocolate rations, which were also distributed in the U.S. military during the Vietnam War. Among the U.S. military supplies captured by the Vietnamese was this Hershey's chocolate bar. According to rumors, there was a Hershey's chocolate bar in Vietnam, a country with hot weather, that did not spoil until the end of the Vietnam War. And, because of the evaporation and loss of water, it becomes extremely hard. So much so that when the Vietnamese fought in groups, it became a weapon used in battle. The hardness is comparable to that of wood, rod and iron......

Although this is just an exaggerated rumor, it also shows the taste and texture of military rations.

Of course, the most famous military ration in World War II was not Hershey's chocolate bars, but the famous Spam luncheon meat! This luncheon meat was invented in 1932 by Jay Hormel, son of the founder of the Hormel Company in Austin, Minnesota, USA.

This luncheon meat is shaped like a brick in a wall, and each can weighs twelve ounces. Its main ingredients are ham, pork, sugar, salt, water and potato starch. A small amount of sub-** is also added to it. Each two ounces, or 56 x of Pam, contains seven grams of protein, two grams of carbohydrates and 15 grams of fat, providing 170 calories and one-third of the daily intake of salt. A twelve-ounce can of luncheon meat can meet a person's caloric needs for three or four days.

In addition, this luncheon meat not only has a much longer shelf life than fresh meat, but also has a much lower price than ordinary meat. The United States has vast pastoral areas, and the price of meat itself is not high. The price of this luncheon meat is only one-third of that of ordinary meat products.

Therefore, after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, the American logistics department quickly eliminated the hard, rock-solid bacon and replaced it with Spam luncheon meat. During World War II, the U.S. War Department spent more than $373 million on billions of Spam luncheon meat. In order to ensure the production of pork and to ensure that its heat supply was inconvenient, Spam had to change the recipe to reduce the proportion of pork ingredients and increase the starch content. The newly produced Spam luncheon meat is almost meaty, and the American GIs who eat it are bitter!

In this era, Americans are accustomed to foods that are relatively simple and natural, such as beef, chicken, ketchup, potatoes, pumpkin, ice cream, apple pie...... It is precisely because of such a simple habit that when the herring fish restaurant landed in the United States with Chinese cuisine that has been inherited for thousands of years, it will detonate the boom of Chinese cuisine.

However, these simple American foods, although bland and simple, are much better than the random mix of Spam luncheon meats according to the calorie supply. And, this unlucky luncheon meat will last for years!

According to American GIs who fought in World War II, the chefs would fry the Spam for breakfast, bake the Spam for dinner, and serve the Spam as a meat filling in tortillas for dinner, and the next morning the Spam pie...... God knows where the logistics quartermaster got so many spams, they must have been ordered in barrels. Stewed Spam, Spam Steak and Slipped Spam Meat Fat!

As a result, American GIs gave Spam luncheon meat many sensational nicknames, such as spirit meat, water meat, and so on. When World War II ended, Eisenhower ran into Corey, the president of the Spam Company, and complained, "For the past four years, I and millions of soldiers have been eating your company's luncheon meat." I must admit that I have had some unkind comments about it - under the pressure of war, you know, but in any case, I have to thank you for producing the spam. However, as Commander-in-Chief, I think I can forgive you for your only sin, that you have sent too much luncheon meat! ”

So, when Jack told the American joke, the rest of his life smiled. He also immediately reacted that the dried seaweed, although it was only delicious, was much better than Spam. In addition, it is easy to carry and inexpensive. Rich in vitamins and minerals. It only takes half a piece of paper to replenish the daily vitamins and minerals that the body needs. It is an obvious complement to Spam luncheon meat, which contains almost no vitamins and minerals!

It's just that Yu Sheng just arrived in the United States, and he didn't have many connections, even if the Qingyu Chinese restaurant was very popular, he didn't think about getting orders from the U.S. military. But if Jack is there, there is a possibility of getting an order from the US military!

Yu Sheng's eyes lit up and he said to Jack, "Mr. Jack, I won't sell the patent for dried seaweed entirely. But if President Jack is sure of getting an order from the military, then I want to use this patent to cooperate with Mr. Jack and get a certain percentage of the share! What does Mr. Jack think? ”
