Huh? Josh almost choked on his water. What do I know? I know nothing.

Compressed juice? When she mentioned it, Josh seemed to vaguely remember it; the host had mentioned it during the farm evaluation.

She just let it go in one ear and out the other, without paying attention, not expecting it to be a product from Manye Farm.

But is it really the right thing to ask her for advice?
"Aren't you afraid I'll talk nonsense and lead you into a dead end?" Josh probed.

“I’m not stupid. I definitely won’t believe you if you’re making things up.” Dolly smiled, no longer as humble as before.

"Okay, then tell me in detail, maybe I can give you some small advice." Hearing her tone, Josh felt much more relaxed and agreed to speak.

It's not that Josh is a saint, but since they're both making magic fruit drinks, Dolly wanted her advice, while Josh also wanted to learn from her mistakes to avoid the same problems with Glow Fruit Drinks.

Working in isolation won't work; having someone in the same industry to exchange ideas with is, in a way, a stroke of luck.

Dolly's eyes lit up, and she felt a little relieved. It seemed she hadn't made a mistake; Josh really wasn't the kind of narrow-minded person.

"It's like this, the concentrated fruit juice from Manye Farm has always had relatively stable sales. It follows the energy compression route. I originally thought that as long as the fruit juice from other five-star farms in other major cities didn't enter Chaoyang City on a large scale, there shouldn't be any products in the city that could threaten my business. I didn't expect this." She paused for a moment and gave a wry smile.

Josh shrugged. This isn't my fault.

"However, after tasting the Glow Fruit Drink, I did find that it has more advantages than compressed juice. It has a unique taste and is a different kind of deliciousness. The design is novel and has a different art design. Compared with the Glow Fruit Drink, the compressed juice from Manye Farm is like a product of the primeval forest."

I'm not saying this out of self-pity or to say that compressed juice is bad. On the contrary, I've discovered why, despite such a stark contrast in taste, some people still choose compressed juice.

Compressed juice can provide more energy. For ordinary scavengers, taste is not their first priority. Energy richness is their primary consideration when choosing food. But that's not enough. I want to take more market share from Weiguang Fruit Drink with this slight advantage.

However, the production process of compressed juice is a unique extraction process used by the farm. Adding sugar, honey, milk, or other similar ingredients would either reduce the energy content of the same amount or make the compressed juice unstable, leading to extraction problems and easy spoilage. This is why Dolly dares not change the flavor of the compressed juice without authorization.

After listening to her, Josh understood some things, but also didn't quite understand some things.

"You know perfectly well what changes need to be made to compressed juice, don't you? Nobody knows them better than you."

“Of course, no one knows my product better than me, but that won’t do. I see compressed juice as my child, and I can’t truly grasp the limitations and problems of my compressed juice. I need you, Josh,” she said earnestly.

Her words were light and airy, yet they were profoundly impactful. Wasn't Josh the same?

She understood this feeling all too well.

“I think I understand what you mean.” Josh smiled brightly at her.

The two chatted for a long time about compressed juice and shimmering fruit drinks, and only stopped talking after they had refilled their herbal tea three times.

It's so rare to find someone on the same wavelength. During their conversation, Josh and Dolly were pleasantly surprised to find that they were so compatible with each other that they lost track of time.

The exchange proved to be effective; both Dolly and Josh benefited greatly from today's small meeting. "Josh, I'll be going now. Sorry to have bothered you today." It was getting late, and Dolly reluctantly said goodbye to Josh. The two had become incredibly close.

"No, Dolly, my friend. We can continue our conversation another time."

"A word is settled!"

"A word is settled!"

During their conversation, Dolly mentioned that simply mixing the magic fruits for extraction would not cause problems with the extraction of compressed juice, and the state would be relatively stable, with less likelihood of energy loss.

Josh thought of the Nongfu Spring mixed fruit juice he had drunk in his previous life. Since the extraction process was unique and not suitable for adding other materials, he decided to use only magic fruit as the raw material and use two, three or even more magic fruits to flavor the juice. He would adjust the taste by blending the juices together, thus changing the sour taste of the compressed juice.

Secondly, it adds a gimmick; the various magical fruits are rich in nutrients and can provide the most powerful energy support for every scavenger.

That would be so impressive if people told me!

The money that could have bought one type of compressed juice could have bought several different juice blends – it's a sure way to make a profit.

Another approach is to further process and extract the fruit powder, compressing it directly into powder in one step, just like X-Source fruit juice drinks. One spoonful of fruit powder can be mixed with a pot of water, making it more convenient to carry, compressing the energy, and reducing consumers' demands for taste.

Dolly found the information very helpful and eagerly said she would start experimenting as soon as she got back. She would first adjust the flavor of the compressed juice to be milder and more palatable, then perform deep extraction, and finally promote the product.

Josh learned some interesting news from Dolly: graduating students from various federal academies had chosen Chaoyang City as the location to complete their graduation projects.

This is their only reference for graduation assessment.

Students from different majors will choose an industry to specialize in based on their own major. After a year, mentors will come to assess the value of the achievements made by different students in different locations and industries, which will then determine their graduation grades.

This isn't exactly a scientific method of evaluation, but the influx of such a large number of talented individuals into Chaoyang City, ambitious and eager to make a name for themselves, is bound to impact the business owners in various industries. Whether they can retain these talents to contribute to their own success or be overwhelmed by them and fade into the dust of history depends on their individual abilities.

The reputation of Weiguang Farm is growing, and both the farm and the commercial area need a large number of capable people to work for it.

Oswin alone was far from enough. These days, Josh had been using him like ten people. Of course, he completed all the work perfectly, but Josh did not ignore the physical and mental strain he was putting on.

Once the Weiguang Commercial District officially opens, Weiguang Fruit Drinks will have more and more complex production lines. We can't expect Oswin to handle everything anymore.

Therefore, she must attract as many professional talents as possible to this talent event.

These kinds of messages are usually not released without proper channels. This is a test, and no one is allowed to deliberately create a stir and affect everyone.

Fortunately, Dolly told Josh so that she could conduct the recruitment at the right time, otherwise she might have inadvertently missed this opportunity.
