Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 484 Ultimate Technology and Ruthless Skills
Simon Lang wasn't joking with Lao Luo, because Simon Lang planned to solve the problem of whether or not it existed first, and then worry about whether or not it was good or not. Simon Lang was really going to use a lot of technology and hard work in this soon-to-be-completed soy sauce factory.

"For example, fermentation. Compared to the traditional high-salt liquid-state fermentation method, which takes at least 3 to 6 months to complete, my low-salt solid-state fermentation method, by adding specific enzymes and microbial communities, can solve all the problems in 15 days to a month at most, saving a lot of time for production."

"So fast?"

"It's not just fast, it doesn't pick and choose the time or place either. Unlike traditional fermentation methods, which are picky about time and location, and can easily ruin everything, with this, you can do whatever you want! It's all about technology and hard work, it doesn't rely on the right time or place. You don't even need to pay much attention to it, just throw the ingredients in, and it's done! Isn't that amazing?"

So convenient and fast, even Luo Yonghao (founder of Smartisan) couldn't have imagined it. This efficiency is absolutely amazing!
"But if it's so fast, won't the taste be less mellow than that brewed using traditional methods? After all, it's been sitting for so long in between."

Seeing that Lao Luo was still a foodie, and with a rigorous and responsible attitude, Ximen Lang replied without hesitation.

"If the taste isn't good, just add MSG! Whether it's monosodium glutamate, disodium inosinate, or disodium guanylate, just throw it all in! And sweeteners like white sugar, sucralose, and acesulfame potassium, what are you hesitating for? Just add it all in! And then add a caramel color to make the soy sauce dark black."

"It's absolutely delicious, with perfect color, aroma, and taste! If you're really ruthless, you can add some super-strong preservatives. I'm telling you, it won't spoil no matter how many years it's kept! If it's stored really well, it can kill you first, believe it or not?"

The phrase "it can send you away first" almost made Lao Luo lose his composure.

Seeing that Ximen Lang's ruthless methods were truly excessive, far exceeding Lao Luo's comprehension.

Although Lao Luo and Ximen Lang had already reached a consensus to first solve the problem of whether it exists before solving the problem of whether it is good or not, it is clear that these tough measures have become so extreme that Lao Luo still cannot help but worry about the health problems after eating it.

"Ah Lang, it's not that I don't believe in your technological innovations, but... isn't this a bit too much of a technological innovation? Everything is technology, and everything is technologically advanced. With so much technology and technological innovation, won't people have problems eating this?"

When the topic turned to health, which was of utmost importance to Simon Lang, he immediately dropped his frivolous demeanor.

Say what you mean and tell Lao Luo the truth.

"Old Luo, we're all on the same side, so I won't hide anything from you. This soy sauce, which is my technologically advanced and high-quality soy sauce, definitely can't compare to traditionally brewed soy sauce in terms of safety."

"Because our soy sauce relies entirely on chemical reactions, the added technology and processes often involve various carcinogens. During the chemical reaction, it is also easy to produce some carcinogenic substances, so the risk of cancer is still very high."

The average person these days may not understand cancer very well, but Lao Luo knows exactly what cancer is!

This is an incurable disease, especially with today's medical conditions. Getting cancer is basically a death sentence.

That's too risky!

I was just about to tell Ximen Lang that this was going a bit too far.

Changing the subject, Ximen Lang continued.

"While it does carry a risk of causing cancer, as the old saying goes, discussing toxicity without considering dosage is utterly irresponsible, and a really bad one at that! Yes, I admit that long-term, excessive consumption of these kinds of blended soy sauces does indeed carry a high risk of causing cancer."

"But we can't ignore the words 'long-term' and 'excessive'! Just eat less! Wouldn't eating less solve all the problems? Who can really eat soy sauce as their main meal? That's just plain crazy!" Isn't that right?
If he could actually eat soy sauce as a meal, what else could it be but a disease?
Not to mention, Ximen Lang hasn't yet brought the real technological marvels of Beijing to the world stage.

"What? This isn't even considered real technology or ruthless skill? There are actually experts here? Really?"

Seeing that Bai Ling actually had doubts about this, Ximen Lang continued.

"What do you think? My version of soy sauce may be a quick and easy way to make money, but at least you get to eat soybeans. Even if all the soybeans are genetically modified, they are still soybeans, and they can be imported."

"But what about the real technology and ruthless work? If you can find a trace of soybean residue in soy sauce, I'll be impressed! They directly add acidic vegetable protein seasoning liquid to your product, and from manufacturing to leaving the factory, it only takes a few hours. That's real CS, that's really ruthless!"

What's the key?
"The key point is that we mostly eat soy sauce in our local area, and we're fine, right? Otherwise, a bottle of good soy sauce can easily cost tens of yuan. Who can afford that?" (After checking, I found that good soy sauce really is quite expensive.)
"But what if we replace brewed soy sauce with blended soy sauce? Let me put it this way, where I live, a ton of brewed soy sauce costs around 1300 yuan, but blended soy sauce, instead of 998, is only 98 yuan! You can take a ton of blended soy sauce home!"

Goodness, compared to traditionally brewed soy sauce, blended soy sauce has a profit margin of more than ten times.

Even so, this is only a relatively conservative version of the soy sauce configuration and price from Simon Lang.

If it were replaced with the ultimate, high-tech, ruthless version that didn't even leave any bean dregs...
"Wouldn't that make them a fortune?!"

"Yes, you could make a fortune. But before you do, I suggest you find a sturdy rope first."

"A rope? What would you need that for? To tie a soy sauce bottle? For packing?"

"Why tie up soy sauce? Tie up you! You're so heartless, I have to find a better rope and hang you on a streetlight, right? You're so heavy, what if the rope isn't strong enough and breaks?"

The familiar taste immediately calmed down Ximen Lang, who was getting more and more excited as he spoke.

Seeing that Bai Ling was truly ruthless, she was even willing to hang her own man from a street lamp, and she did it herself.

Ximen Lang was about to angrily rebuke Bai Ling
"You murdered your husband?"

After pondering for a long time with a furrowed brow, Lao Luo finally sorted everything out and his brow gradually relaxed, and affirmed.

"We need to develop the high-tech and demanding version, and we also need to develop the ultimate high-tech and demanding version, which is a configuration version that doesn't even have any leftovers and can be completed in a few hours. We can't leave any of them behind!"

"However, this version isn't for our own consumption! We're taking advantage of the high price of soy sauce to sell it on the international market! We'll ride the wave and make a killing!"

Ximen Lang was completely astonished by what he heard. After regaining his senses, he immediately called out to Bai Ling.

"Ling'er, quickly find a rope, let's hang Lao Luo up first!"
