Chapter 346 Start the research and development of herbal tea, uninvited guests
Based on the equipment needed for the laboratory provided by Zhou Dachuan, Li Yang arranged for people to purchase it locally at a high price. The provincial capital is good here, and if you have money, you can buy almost anything.
There used to be a laboratory in the factory, but the previous boss didn't pay much attention to it and all the equipment was old.
After more than three hours, they were all replaced with new ones. It was almost seven o'clock in the evening.
Zhou Dachuan watched the new equipment being delivered to the laboratory one after another. He was so excited that he could not speak. He held Li Yang's hand and thanked him as if Li Yang worked for him.
"Mr. Li, don't worry. After my three senior brothers arrive tomorrow, we will start working overnight. We have a lot of things in our heads, we have the equipment, and we have the manpower. We can study it in a month at most, no, in a week.
We will create a product that is not inferior to similar herbal teas on the market." Zhou Dachuan could not wait to swear.
"We don't have to wait until night. We will be here in about an hour. Master Zhou, let's get ready. I have booked a private room. Let's celebrate." Li Yang said with a smile.
"It's so fast, no need to celebrate, it's too expensive." Zhou Dachuan said in surprise, and then waved his hand. Li Yang spent a lot of money that day, which made him feel embarrassed.
"It's all arranged." Li Yang said.
"Okay then." Zhou Dachuan quickly changed his clothes and accompanied Li Yang to a hotel in the city center, accompanied by more than a dozen employees left from the factory.
"It's too expensive, it's too expensive." Zhou Dachuan looked at the splendid hotel. Shadows could be seen on the floor tiles. Even the waitresses were very beautiful. This meal must be very expensive.
When they arrived in the private room, they saw that the room was more than fifty square meters in size, with a large round table that could seat more than twenty people. Food was being served one after another. Only then did Zhou Dachuan and others quietly sit down.
Not long after, there was a series of footsteps outside, and then I opened the door and saw three men in their fifties and sixties coming in. It was Xu Huaizhi, Ma Sanyuan and Zhao Dajiang who were picked up from Cangzhou City, one by one.
It was as if I was dreaming. When I saw Zhou Dachuan, my face lit up with joy.
"Brother Xu, Brother Ma, Dajiang." Zhou Dachuan stood up hurriedly, his face full of excitement.
"Dachuan, what on earth is going on?" the three of them asked again and again.
"I've met a noble person. You may have heard of it. Come on, come on, let me introduce you." Zhou Dachuan did not forget the etiquette and hurriedly pulled the three of them to Li Yang and said, "This is Mr. Li from Daqingshan.
, is also my current boss. He wants to open a beverage factory in Dongjiang Province and enter the herbal tea market. I thought of you right away."
"It turns out to be Mr. Li from Daqingshan. Thank you very much for helping our hometown in Cangzhou City during the flood season in Daqingshan." The three of them are all from the older generation and know how to be grateful. They thanked each other one after another.
"After leaving Xichuan Province, we are all fellow villagers here. Let the three masters sit down first." Li Yang said with a smile.
"Okay, okay." The three of them sat next to Zhou Dachuan. The brothers had not seen each other for a long time and couldn't help but chat a little more.
Li Yang did not interrupt them, and nodded to Cheng Wan'er beside him. Some hot dishes began to be served outside, and soon the drinks were delivered, and the box door was closed.
"Mr. Li is so courageous. Most of the emerging beverage companies now do OEM processing for large manufacturers, and few dare to create their own brands, especially herbal tea, which is the most competitive." Ma Sanyuan said with admiration.
"Everything has to be done by people, and big factories gradually grow bigger." Li Yang smiled.
"Mr. Li, don't worry. As for the product, we will definitely make herbal tea that is far superior to similar products on the market." Xu Huaizhi was full of energy, as if he couldn't wait to go to the laboratory immediately. He has been holding it back over the years.
The four of them were all employees of a state-owned food factory and had participated in the research and development of Xichuan herbal tea, which was very popular in Xichuan Province.
"I will prepare the main ingredients for everyone." Li Yang said.
Cheng Wan'er stood up from the side and took out four cans of green mountain tea from the gift box on the side. Then she picked up the kettle and made a cup of tea for everyone present. Not long after, the aroma of tea filled the box.
"Is this green mountain tea?" Zhou Dachuan was surprised.
"The aftertaste is long-lasting, fragrant but not overpowering, with a touch of astringency, but not bitter, just right." Zhao Dajiang couldn't help but hold the tea cup, blow it, take a sip hastily, and said excitedly.
"Okay, okay, it still tastes the same. I was lucky enough to drink it twenty years ago. Since the disappearance of Qingshan tea, I haven't tasted this taste for a long time."
Zhou Dachuan and others also took a sip and praised it repeatedly.
The four people looked at each other.
"Mr. Li, how is the production of Qingshan Tea? Although tea and other beverages can be filled into many bottles after being diluted, the beverage market is huge. Once spread, the demand for raw materials will still be huge. Can Qingshan Tea be supplied?
"Zhou Dachuan said.
"As long as the market can be opened, even if it covers the national market, it can be fully supplied." Li Yang nodded.
"We are in the beverage market in Daqingshan because the tea market is too small. Excessive dumping will cause the value of Qingshan tea to decrease, so in terms of production, the masters can rest assured." Cheng Wan'er added at the side.
"Green mountain tea has health-care effects, and the tea has a mellow and long-lasting flavor. If used as the main ingredient of herbal tea, it can overcome the bitterness of some Chinese herbal medicines. The overall taste will definitely be better, and it will definitely have more prospects than Xichuan herbal tea." Zhou Dachuan said solemnly.
.
Xu Huaizhi, Zhao Dajiang and Ma Sanyuan also nodded.
"Do the four masters plan to develop new herbal tea products, or further upgrade based on Xichuan herbal tea?" Li Yang saw that the topic had reached this point, so he got down to business.
"We have been researching Xichuan herbal tea for more than ten years and developed it based on Xichuan herbal tea. It has the best effect and the shortest time." Zhou Dachuan was a little confused as to why Li Yang asked this.
"Do you have the patent rights for Xichuan herbal tea?" Li Yang smiled. He also saw that Zhou Dachuan and others were obsessed with Xichuan herbal tea, and they did not exclude optimizing on the basis of Xichuan herbal tea. However, the patent rights are indeed
A threshold that cannot be crossed.
"It turns out that Mr. Li was worried about patents. The patent rights for the Xichuan herbal tea developed by our master and our brothers back then belong to us. After the master passed away, he gave the patent rights to the four of us brothers." Zhou Dachuan laughed.
He explained.
Li Yang whispered a few words to Cheng Wan'er, and then she went out.
About twenty minutes later, Cheng Wan'er carried a suitcase and placed it on the table. After opening it, it was filled with stacks of cash.
"This is four million. I am willing to recreate the style of Xichuan herbal tea with you," Li Yang said.
"No, no, Mr. Li, you misunderstood. We can't ask for this money. This patent is in our hands. To be honest, it's not worth much. If you are willing to provide factories and laboratories, you can have the opportunity to let us participate in product research and development.
, we are already very happy." Zhou Dachuan said hurriedly.
"Yes, Mr. Li, we are all half dead, and I am very satisfied to have the opportunity to work hard." Xu Huaizhi also expressed his position hurriedly.
"Yes, we are very satisfied if we can participate in research and development and have the opportunity to personally create a herbal tea and put it on the market in our later years." Ma Sanyuan and Zhao Dajiang also said repeatedly.
"Everyone, listen to me. Once the herbal tea is developed, neither the patent nor the formula can be transferred to the outside world. This money is some compensation for you. I suggest you think about it carefully. Maybe the herbal tea is very popular when it is launched on the market. You
The formula and patent in your hand are very valuable." Li Yang smiled.
Cheng Wan'er then issued a patent transfer and formula confidentiality agreement.
Zhou Dachuan and the four signed the agreement without hesitation.
"Mr. Li, please accept this money first. If we can develop a new type of herbal tea and the market performs well, then you can give this money to us as a bonus. If the market response is not good, we cannot take this money." Zhou Dachuan and others.
People expressed their opinions.
Li Yang hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Cheng Wan'er took away her suitcase, and after having dinner here, she paid three months' salary back to the employees present. After all, she was cheated by her previous employer when she came out to work, so she was probably short of money.
Arrangements were made to take them back to the factory.
Li Yang and Cheng Wan'er walked directly towards the hotel room. The place where they ate was the hotel where they were staying.
"This trip to Dongjiang Province is really worthwhile. I finally encountered a good thing. These four masters are really honest people. If it were anyone else, they would not take out the patents and formulas so easily." Cheng Wan
Er smiled and said.
"Well, they are all honest people. You should keep an eye on the benefits and treatment. Don't treat them badly. In addition, their families also sent some money." Li Yang nodded.
"Well, I understand." Cheng Wan'er said.
When the two of them walked out of the elevator and walked towards the room, they suddenly saw a slim woman at the door, wearing a red suspender skirt and pointed high heels, kicking the door.
"Chu Ling." Cheng Wan'er suddenly said in surprise.
"Okay, you're finally back. Hehe, I thought I was having fun in the room, so I didn't dare to open the door for fear of being caught." Chu Ling walked towards the two of them angrily.
"How did you find this place?" Li Yang said.
"You are so high-profile. Is it difficult to find where you live?" Chu Ling snorted, then put her hands on her hips and said dissatisfiedly to Li Yang: "How are you going to explain to my sister? You have been to my house.
You have met my parents, and now you are hooking up with my sister's best friend, are you worthy of my sister?"
"Chu Ling, please listen to my explanation. It's not what you think." Cheng Wan'er hurriedly wanted to explain, but she never expected that Chu Ling would come to her door.
"Cheng Wan'er, my sister is nice to you, right, but this is how you treat her?" Chu Ling said dissatisfied.
"Okay, let's go into the room and talk." Li Yang sighed softly.
"Why did you come into the room, right here? Are you afraid that others will know that you, Li Yang, are fooling around behind my sister's back and hooking up with my sister's best friend? Humph." Chu Ling said angrily.
The commotion here naturally attracted the attention of the hotel security, but when they went upstairs, they were blocked by Xiao Liu and the people at the elevator entrance, and Xiao Liu came over.
"What? You want to hit me! I'm not afraid. If you beat me to death, you will become famous. Mr. Li from Daqingshan fooled around behind my sister's back and beat my aunt to death." Chu Ling said calmly.
He was unforgiving, holding his neck high and looking fearless.
"Go over and open the door." Li Yang said to Cheng Wan'er.
"Don't leave." Chu Ling still wanted to grab Cheng Wan'er's hand.
Li Yang raised his hand and grabbed Chu Ling's arm, and then threw it on his shoulder. Chu Ling was lifted up in the air, making her scream in surprise, and then she hurriedly cursed.
"Security, where are the security guards? You guys are dead."
"What a shabby hotel. They dare to rob women in the corridor. Ah, I'm going to be slept with. You don't care."
"I want to call the police, please call the police for me quickly. I am forced to do so. I am forced to do so."
Chu Ling shouted loudly at the camera at the entrance of the corridor, hitting Li Yang on the back with all her strength, and her high heels flew out. The red tank top was already thin, but when she pulled it like this, her shoulders
The belt almost came off, and she was so frightened that she quickly covered it.
"If you keep yelling, I will send people to block the elevator entrance and the stairway. I will take off your skirt and throw you here. You can curse as much as you like." Li Yang said calmly, even knowing how to cover it. It seems that he is not brave enough.
, if you have the ability to strip off your clothes and pounce on me in the corridor, then you have the talent!
Chu Ling immediately shut up and was carried into the room obediently.
After waiting in the room, Li Yang raised his hand and threw her towards the sofa. With a bang, she fell heavily on it and almost slipped to the ground and hit the table.
"Call Chu Ruoruo and ask her to come and pick her up." Li Yang said to Cheng Wan'er.
"Fight, fight if you can, let my sister see that you are all living together." Chu Ling, however, was not afraid at all, she got up and kept her head high and said without hesitation.
"Let me tell you." Cheng Wan'er hesitated and whispered.
"Yeah." Li Yang frowned and entered the room first.
It was noisy and noisy outside, but after a while, there was no movement outside.
At this time Cheng Wan'er walked in.
"Gone?" Li Yang asked confused.
"She didn't leave. She stayed outside. She said she had nothing to do in Qingshan City and wanted to come over and do it with you." Cheng Wan'er said awkwardly.
"What can she do? Ruin the original boss's supermarket and come here to try to harm me?" Li Yang shook his head and smiled.
At this moment, Chu Ling poked her head from the door and said seriously.
"I'm good at exploring markets, but not good at sitting back and reaping the benefits. If you use me, I can give you a big surprise!"
"How about letting her give it a try? Don't worry, I will always watch her and won't let her act recklessly." Cheng Wan'er also whispered to the side.
Li Yang glanced at Cheng Wan'er and could understand her thoughts to some extent. She didn't want Chu Ling to return to Qingshan City and talk nonsense with Chu Ruoruo.
"Arrange a room for her downstairs." Li Yang said thoughtfully.
"Don't worry, brother-in-law, I'm very strict with my words. As a man, it's normal to have a woman outside. I understand my physiological needs. Our Chu family is very open-minded about this. From now on, we will all be one family.
, I will definitely follow you and work hard." Chu Ling immediately promised with a serious face.
Li Yang chuckled, his face really changed quickly.
Cheng Wan'er was afraid that she would talk nonsense again, so she hurried over and took Chu Ling downstairs to check in.
