Gu Nuan looked back and saw several people standing not far away. The one who had just spoken was the leader.
Zhou Peng, director of Kyoto Red Star Food Factory.
Speaking of which, they can also be considered competitors.
Hongxing Food Factory also produces some snacks and chili sauce.
"It's different to have a good booth here," Zhou Peng said with a smile, "I must have signed a lot of orders."
Although their Hongxing Food Factory is a state-owned factory, it still relies on orders to support itself and to receive bonuses from orders.
But on the first day, not many orders were signed, and many people came to them and were interested in their things.
But in the end they were all snatched away by Gu Nuan.
It can be said that this kind of thing has happened a lot since the establishment of Gu Nuan's food factory.
At the beginning, they didn't pay attention to this kind of small workshop, and Gu Nuan and others had always followed the retail model in the early stage.
The places I went to were all train and bus stations.
How could a large state-owned enterprise like them take such piecemeal orders to heart?
But he didn't know when he started hearing about Gu Nuan's chili sauce and beef sauce from many people around him.
Especially during the Chinese New Year, their family actually received the kind of New Year gift box from Gu Nuan's family.
He almost fainted from anger at that time.
It was also at this time that Zhou Peng had to face up to this problem.
Although he is angry, he is a practical person after all. Putting aside other factors about the New Year gift box, if he were not the director of a food factory, seeing such high-end packaging, he would want to buy some and give them away.
It was precisely this that forced Zhou Peng to face up to this small workshop-like food factory.
But it seems it's too late.
Gu Nuan's chili sauce entered the overseas Chinese hotel and entered the mouths of the overseas Chinese, making them feel like they were children again.
After this rumor came out, Zhou Peng felt that something was going to happen.
Sure enough, the next few orders went to Gu Nuan.
Although, it's just a few small orders.
But then the small list turned into a big one.
In the past, when it came to chili sauce or beef sauce, let alone the whole country, the first thing that everyone thought of was their Red Star Food Factory.
But now, they are all talking about heart-warming food.
Even his mother-in-law likes to eat Gu Nuan's chili sauce.
You argue with her, and she says she's tired of the taste after eating Red Star Factory for so many years.
Moreover, Gu Nuan's food is indeed more delicious than theirs.
Their chili sauces are all made with a pinch of salt.
That chili sauce is just salty,
Unlike Gu Nuan's chili sauce, it is spicy and leaves people with endless aftertaste.
Zhou Peng also studied Gu Nuan's sauces with the old chefs in the factory, and I have to say, they are indeed delicious.
The old chef is also experienced. He adjusted the ratio of their sauces based on Gu Nuan's sauces, and the taste is indeed much better than before.
But it is only compared with the sauces produced in the past.
It's still incomparable to Gu Nuan's.
Fortunately, some of the lost orders came back.
After all, people are still used to things from state-owned units.
Knowing that there was going to be a Food and Drinks Fair in Kyoto this time, Zhou Peng gathered all his energy. This Food and Wine Fair was a turnaround for their factory.
What's annoying is that they also stuffed a lot of red envelopes, but they still didn't get this good position.
Zhou Peng knew this would be the result when he learned about Gu Nuan's booth.
The product is good and the location is good. If Gu Nuan doesn’t sign the order, who will?
The reason they were able to sign the list today was because of his old face and favors.
What turnaround?
It was like being beaten by Gu Nuan.
"Director Zhou is just joking," Gu Nuan said with a smile, "We are just having a little fight, how can we compare with you."
But just such a small fight suppressed him to death.
Zhou Peng was not convinced.
He has been in this business since he was a teenager, and it has been thirty or forty years now, but he lost to a little girl.
But the problem is, their products are really good.
Zhou Peng smiled faintly and turned his attention to the row of conspicuous transparent bottles in Gu Nuan's display cabinet.
"I heard that this is your new product, what is it called...mineral water?" Zhou Peng asked.
"Yes." Gu Nuan smiled.
"I heard a few old friends say this, it's pretty good... Haha, it's pretty good." Zhou Peng said.
He said it was good, but in his heart he was dismissive.
People in this era don’t have enough to eat. Who would spend money to buy mineral water?
Isn’t it just water?
What minerals? It’s just some gimmick.
It was not easy for the little girl to earn two dollars, and she suddenly started to feel better.
Gu Nuan winked at Xu Zhaohong, who took out two bottles and handed them over, "Try them."
Gu Nuan actually admired Zhou Peng. As the director of a state-owned factory, he was quite courageous.
"No need." Zhou Peng rejected Gu Nuan's kindness, "I won't disturb Boss Gu's business."
After saying that, he led the people and continued walking forward.
It seems that the time is about the same, so you are taking people around to see how others are doing?
Gu Nuan ignored him.
At this moment, several foreigners suddenly came and chattered over the mineral water in Xu Zhaohong's hand.
Xu Zhaohong and Gu Nuan were both classmates at the university, but she studied Russian and didn't understand English. She... couldn't understand the foreigner who suddenly came up and started talking so loudly.
All she saw was one of the foreigners staring directly at her...the mineral water in his hand.
"Do you... want to drink this?" Gu Nuan said to the foreigner in English with a smile.
Although, she couldn't understand what he said, it was probably Arabic.
"Yes." The foreigner could understand a little English and said to Gu Nuan in halting English.
He came to this sugar and wine party, walked around and tasted some things. He was so thirsty now that he looked for water for a long time and finally found it at Gu Nuan's place.
Gu Nuan looked at this person without leaving any trace, and he probably had an idea in his mind, but he couldn't be sure.
"Here's the money for you." The foreigner handed the money to Gu Nuan, "To buy water."
Gu Nuan smiled, took the money, and signaled Xu Zhaohong to fill him with three bottles of water.
Originally, they did not sell this water for retail sale.
Xu Zhaohong didn't understand what Gu Nuan meant. After they left, she asked in a low voice, "Xiao Nuan, didn't you say that our water is not sold at retail?"
"I can make an exception if I help international friends." Gu Nuan smiled.
Is this really the case?
Why does Xu Zhaohong not believe it?
However, on the last day, she discovered that her feeling was accurate.
Who would have thought that those bottles of water would bring them such big business opportunities.
