Looking at the fragrant beef instant noodles in the porcelain jar, even Chen Yu, who hadn't eaten this stuff for many years, couldn't help but gulp.
He picked up his chopsticks and tasted it. He nodded. It was indeed the same as canned beef. It had a strong beef fragrance.
The taste of the new instant noodles had improved the numbness and spiciness. The taste was completely different from the instant noodles provided to the Russians.
Based on the mainstream instant noodle flavors that Chen Yu had tried in his previous life, the spicy sauce packets that Fu Manduo had developed were already on par with them.
Fu Manduo braised beef noodles, released in April 1991!
"Manager Xu, isn't there too much beef in here?" How much are you going to charge for this packet of beef instant noodles?”
After tasting it, Chen Yu felt that it was a little spicy. He casually picked up a bottle of mineral water from the table and gulped it down.
Xu Zhiwei was a little hesitant when he heard that. He knew that the most expensive Master Kong instant noodles were only 1.8 yuan.
The market price of Fu Manduo's real beef noodles was more than 3.5 yuan!
What worried Xu Zhiwei was that the market price of 3.5 yuan was relatively expensive. Could he find a market for this? Should he improve the beef sauce packet? Reduce costs?
"Manager Xu, there's no need to improve the sauce packet. This is very good. The market needs to be developed! There's no point in always competing with Master Kang for the low-end market. Why don't we open up a high-end market ourselves! They specialized in selling these genuine instant noodles!”
Chen Yu promptly stopped him from having such thoughts. In his previous life, countless people hated Master Kang's method of making beef instant noodles.
At this time, it was not easy for him to see the real thing. How could he change it back!
Chen Yu had already made up his mind. Since everyone was fighting for the low-end market, he would show them how Fumando played in the high-end market!
Chen Yu had already found a market for this " high-grade " instant noodle. There would definitely be people who would pay for this genuine product!
However, he still needed to design the outer packaging. At the very least, the packaged instant noodles were not suitable. It was better to make the barreled instant noodles in advance!
Barreled instant noodles were actually invented in August 1992 in Master Kong's Dingxin factory. At that time, the problem of " finding a container to eat instant noodles " was solved!
"This…President Chen, this is a great invention! Why wasn't I here? If he made a small bucket and added the fork of the canned beef, wouldn't it be able to replace the function of the porcelain jar and chopsticks?”
Xu Zhiwei's eyes lit up when he heard that. He looked at the porcelain jars and chopsticks on the desk excitedly.
Such a simple idea instantly solved the problem of not being able to brew instant noodles at any time!
Xu Zhiwei was keenly aware that if this barreled instant noodles was really launched, it would definitely raise the level of instant noodles!
Let the consumers know that our Fumanduo is a high-end product!
However, there will be countless followers. Master Kang and the other manufacturers will be able to imitate it at the pixel-level, so we must apply for a patent!
"Patents are a must! You take charge of this matter."
"Also, is this Changbai Mountain mineral water? The taste is not bad!"
Chen Yu held the half-filled bottle of mineral water in his hand. Since it was meant for the factory's employees, he hadn't put a label on it yet to save costs.
Chen Yu had just given it a try. The water quality of Changbai Mountain was indeed not bad. He just didn't know how much it would cost.
"President Chen, this is the Changbai Mountain mineral water we produce. The price in the northeast is 1.5 yuan per bottle, and the price in the customs is 2 yuan per bottle. As for the cost…there was almost no cost.”
After Xu Zhiwei finished speaking, Chen Yu was stunned. What did he mean by no cost?
Cao Dewang later said that selling mineral water was a huge profit because water was the cheapest raw material, and the cost was piled up on the bottle and transportation fees.
At this time, he heard that if Xu Zhiwei mass-produced the bottle, the cost would be reduced to less than one cent per bottle. As for the raw materials and water...
Ji Province's leader, He Zhicheng, invited Chen Yu to set up a production line in Changbai Mountain. Did he need money to fill water bottles?
In the 1990s, no one paid attention to water sources, and few people sold mineral water.
Wahaha mineral water was only selling for 1.5 yuan a bottle now, and the price had not increased much even after decades. It could be seen that this thing was really profitable!
A barrel of instant noodles would cost at least 4.5 yuan. With this bottle of Changbai Mountain mineral water, 6.5 yuan for a meal was not too much, right?
But the truth was that almost no one would spend 6.5 yuan on a meal. What a joke! In the 1990s, 6.5 yuan was enough to cook two dishes in a small restaurant!
Therefore, this kind of thing was usually sold in train stations, service areas, small hotels, and other places.
There were almost no cooking conditions in these places, and because they were in a hurry, they generally did not care about the price and just hurriedly filled their stomachs.
What Chen Yu needed to do now was to introduce the mineral water and instant noodles combination to the public so that the people of the 1990s would accept this slightly expensive set meal.
He needed to think of a way to package it, at least to make people feel that his 6.5 yuan meal was "worth it"!
Chen Yu already had a plan in his mind. He intended to use this item to develop the high-end market.
If Fumando Food Company wanted to do high-end products, as long as they packaged them and launched them on the market, they would become famous! Let Fu Manduo sit firmly in the high-end position of the food industry!
Thinking of this, he arranged a task for Xu Zhiwei.
"Manager Xu, immediately organize people to re-design the packaging of barreled beef noodles, Changbai Mountain mineral water, pure milk, cooked eggs, canned beef, and other foods. The new packaging must highlight exquisiteness and high-end.”
"The new packaging doesn't need to print Formando in a very conspicuous place. It can even be said that it wants to weaken the brand of Formando.”
"As for the extra white space on the packaging, I'll tell you what to do when the time comes. Show me the design as soon as it's done!”
After Chen Yu finished speaking, Xu Zhiwei was stunned.""President Chen, aren't we doing the high-end market to promote our own brand? Why did they want to downplay the brand on the packaging? Isn't this crippling your own martial arts?"
Chen Yu had long since known that he would think this way. However, the current situation was that Fu Manduo's reputation wasn't high, so rashly charging into the high-end would inevitably result in failure.
Therefore, Chen Yu wanted to borrow another force to give energy to the originally simple food.
To put it simply, it was to create a gimmick and make people feel that it was worth it to buy it at a high price!
After Chen Yu briefly explained his follow-up plan to Xu Zhiwei, the latter was stunned for a moment before he said in ecstasy,"
"President Chen, your idea is really amazing! I'll design a new packaging immediately!"
