Knowing such a situation, Gu Changjun was worried, he has been secretly sighing that it is a pity that Song Yuanchao failed to take charge of the Southern Capital, compared with the current Southern Capital, the development of the company is too fast.

Nowadays, Site is much stronger than Nandu in terms of enterprise scale and market share, you must know that more than two years ago, Site was only a branch of Nandu, where can it be compared to Nandu, which is well-known in Jinling?

If it continues, the decline of Nandu will be irretrievable, this is Gu Changjun's heart knot, and it is also a matter that he can never let go.

This time, Song Yuanchao traveled thousands of miles to see him, which made Gu Changjun very happy, and at the same time remembered the problem of Nandu. Not long after Song Yuanchao left yesterday, the eldest of his family arrived at the hospital, Gu Changjun specially asked the boss to call the second child to go to the hotel for him to express his gratitude to Song Yuanchao and Lu Baogang, and at the same time asked the boss to bring a message to himself, asking Song Yuanchao to come to the hospital today, and he wanted to talk to him about something.

Today, Song Yun came to aid the dynasty, and Gu Changjun did not go around in circles, and directly raised the question about Nandu.

In fact, Song Yuanchao also knows this situation, after all, he was the deputy director of Nandu, although he has now left Nandu, from the equity structure of Nandu is still a brother unit of Site, everyone is also a peer in the food industry, although the specific products are slightly different, but many things between each other are not secrets.

Now Nandu is not only inferior to the Jianghai period, but has a feeling of lifelessness.

Especially after last year's National Day, the leaders of Nandu General Factory didn't know what nerves they had, and they made a set of plans to optimize the formula for saving costs and directly adjusting the formula of the product.

Judging from the data, the cost of the adjusted formula is indeed reduced a lot, because the new formula greatly reduces the raw materials such as natural white sugar, condensed milk, milk powder, and butter used in the original formula, so as to replace them with substitutes.

On the surface, this approach seems to be a problem, and it greatly reduces costs, after all, the former describes the high price of the raw materials, in which the former butter must also be imported, requiring valuable foreign exchange purchases.

The substitutes used today are nothing more than a series of chemicals such as sugar substitutes, margarine, vanillin, etc., which are unusually cheap, a fraction or even a tenth of the original raw material cost.

However, with such an adjustment, the taste of the product is very different, especially some old customers who have eaten Nandu products for many years will frown when they buy them back and taste them.

Maybe ordinary people can't eat it, but people who eat it often feel that something is wrong when they eat it, and the natural sweetness before has now become weird, and there is an inexplicable bitter aftertaste.

This kind of taste is a professional who knows what it is, it is the taste of chemical ingredients, imagine that there will be a market for such a product?

In the first month after the formula adjustment, the overall cost of Nandu decreased by more than one-third, resulting in an increase in the proportion of benefits.

For this reason, the leaders were complacent, hyped up this achievement, and were also praised by their superiors.

But soon the sequelae came out, consumers are not stupid, everyone knows if the thing is good or not, and if you are deceived once, you will be fooled a second time?

When the end of the year comes, close to the Spring Festival, it stands to reason that this stage of Nandu's product sales is the most peak season, but this year's Nandu products have encountered an unprecedented cold reception in the market, the overall sales volume is not even half of previous years, a large number of overtime production of products backlog can not be sold, and at the same time, there are dealers in nearby provinces and cities to return the situation.

When this matter reached Song Yuanchao's ears, it was already after the Spring Festival, and Song Yuanchao was busy with the gold medal and marketing at that time, but he just heard Lao Tang and himself mention a few words.

Song Yuanchao remembered that after listening to Lao Tang's narration, he scolded his mother a few times and said a word of not dying, but later because he was too busy, and Nandu and Site were two companies after all, he didn't continue to pay attention to it.

Now Gu Changjun mentioned this matter again, according to Gu Changjun to Song Yuanchao, due to the adjustment of product formula to bring a great bad impact on Nandu, not only lost the favor of many old customers, but also was rejected by the market.

The employees and some workshop cadres in Nandu are scolding their mothers in private, especially this year's Chinese New Year, everyone has had a very unsatisfactory New Year.

In previous years, the Chinese New Year was expected by everyone, but due to the sudden unsalable products this year, the year-end bonus sent to the hand was actually halved, and the benefits such as meat, rice and eggs were also much less. Isn't that what ordinary workers are trying to do? After a year of hard work, the arrival was far lower than expected, if it wasn't for the leadership tossing, how could this be? It's strange not to scold my mother.

"At the beginning, Nandu's product formulas were developed by predecessors for many years, and they were also tested and recognized by the market and the masses. This is like a restaurant, a good chef can decide the life and death of the hotel, once the originally prosperous restaurant is replaced by a not very good chef to take charge, can the restaurant continue to open? ”

Gu Changjun was very angry, although he was not a professional, and the work he did in Nandu at the beginning had nothing to do with production, but after all, he had been in Nandu for so long, and the layman had already learned to be an insider.

This kind of nonsense is simply incomprehensible, and it is completely just a pat on the head to come up with it.

Continue to let them do this, how many old instincts in Nandu can give them such a toss?

Song Yuanchao told Gu Changjun that he had also heard about it, but after all, this was Nandu's own business, although he was the chairman of Site, he had nothing to do with Nan, and he couldn't interfere in this matter.

"I understand, I understand." Gu Changjun nodded and sighed: "Xiao Song, I'm not telling you this to let you think of a way for Nandu, even if you have a way, it won't help." After all, you are in Site, Nandu Nandu, and now you are two enterprises, and as the chairman of a joint venture company, it is not suitable to meddle in the daily work of state-owned enterprises. ”

"I think, if Nandu continues like this, the future situation is really worrying. After all, you are also a person from Nandu, and Nandu is also your old unit, no matter how you say it, you always have some feelings, right? ”

"If a company doesn't do well, the leader can be transferred, and it's a big deal to pat his ass and work in another company. But what about the workers? Many of them have been working in this company all their lives, and some of them not only work in Nandu themselves, but even their parents are also from Nandu. ”

"For them, Nandu is like their own home, if Nandu really collapses in the future, where can they go?"

Gu Changjun sighed, his face was full of pain and worry, he reached out and held Song Yuanchao's hand, and said with great sincerity: "Xiao Song, I know that you are a person who misses the old, otherwise you wouldn't come to see me." I'm running out of time, and the only thing I can't let go of is this one. I don't have too many requirements, I just hope that in the future, when Nandu really can't survive one day, you can help Nandu and help those colleagues who have worked with you ....... ”

Due to a serious illness, Gu Changjun lost a lot of weight, his hands were cold and full of bones, holding Song Yuanchao, but he could feel the strength and expectation in his heart.

Holding back tears, Song Yuanchao nodded heavily, he assured Gu Changjun that he would definitely remember this matter, no matter what happened in the future, if there was really such a thing as Gu Changjun said, then he Song Yuanchao would definitely help to protect Nandu and these workers in Nandu.

"Thank you, Xiao Song, please ......."

Gu Changjun seemed to say this sentence with his last strength, and when he finished speaking, his breathing suddenly became short, and the whole person's eyes suddenly widened, so frightened that Song Yuanchao hurriedly went to find a doctor, and the doctor and nurse rushed to see Gu Changjun's situation and hurriedly gave first aid.

After tossing for a while, Gu Changjun gradually recovered, and his breath eased temporarily.

"This comrade, the patient is not in good health now that it is inconvenient to continue to see guests, so you should come back in a few days." The doctor came out of the ward, and Song Yuanchao, who was waiting in the corridor, hurriedly greeted him and asked about Gu Changjun's situation.

Glancing at the door of the ward that had been closed, Song Yuanchao did not continue to enter the door, stood at the door for a while, and finally bowed deeply in the direction of the door before leaving.

In the next few days, Gu Changjun's condition was good and bad, and Song Yuanchao and Lu Baogang could only meet him for the last time, and they were kicked out by the nurse without even saying anything.

Stayed in the mountain city for a few days, many things on the company's side were still waiting for Song Yuanchao to deal with, Song Yuanchao and Lu Baogang could only return first, and when they left, they went to see Gu Changjun again, but at that time, Gu Changjun lay on the partition and fell asleep, they did not enter the ward, but just stood outside the ward and took a look.

said goodbye to the eldest and second child of the Gu family, and left them their contact information, and Song Yuanchao and Lu Baogang returned first.

Back in Jinling, Song Yuanchao threw himself into a busy job, and half a month passed.

In the early morning of one day in early April, Song Yuanchao, who had not yet gotten up, suddenly received a long-distance phone call.

The phone call was from the boss of the Gu family, the boss of the Gu family told Song Yuanchao sadly on the phone that his father Gu Changjun had just left an hour ago, when he heard the news, Song Yuanchao couldn't believe his ears, although he had expected it in his heart, but this result still came too suddenly, Song Yuanchao didn't know how he hung up the phone, and when he came back to his senses, he found himself standing by the bed in a daze, with no shoes on his bare feet.

lit a cigarette, walked to the window, and looked through the glass at the night sky that was still pitch black outside, Song Yuanchao stood in a daze I don't know how long it took, the sky gradually became brighter from pitch black, and when the red sun rose from the horizon again, a new day came again as usual.
