Star Tycoon

Chapter 161 Two Treasures

Tian Ersan didn't actually make much money this year.

I spend most of my time at the company, and I use any money I have to buy stocks in Tencent and Apple.

There's no rush to repay the bank loan; a monthly income of several million is already quite good.

Under normal circumstances, one cannot earn 100 million in a year.

In July, yellow peaches began to appear on the market in various regions.

Tao Chunyang looked at the order sent by Chengbang Company.

"We haven't received many orders this year, only about two thousand per day on average."

Tao Chunyang originally thought sales would be very good, but it's already July 10th and canned food sales are still dismal.

It's actually quite easy to understand. Summer is the season for fruits, and watermelons and other fruits taste better than canned goods.

Last year, my status as an orphan gave me an extra advantage, and everyone donated money to buy canned food.

This year, Tian Ersan is already the kind of successful entrepreneur who, even if he has earned tens of millions, is considered by others to be someone who is not focused on making money and is not actually doing his job.

There is naturally no sympathy for such a person.

The hotter the weather, the lower the sales of canned goods.

A few days later, Tao Chunyang stopped allowing the workers to work overtime.

The workers quickly gathered in the factory manager's office and questioned a young male salesman.

"Why can't I work overtime anymore! I only have this much time in the whole year to make money!"

The workers glared at the young man, showing no joy at being able to leave work on time.

The young man said in a panic, "Canned food isn't selling well. Right now, we're producing enough canned food over there for a month. They only sell three or four tons a day. We're producing over a hundred tons of canned food here every day. Take it slow, no rush. We can keep going until October!"

The workers were even more upset when they heard they were going to lose their jobs.

But they are not the worst off; the worst off are the fruit farmers and other canneries.

Fruit farmers are unable to sell their yellow peaches and have no choice but to lower prices.

The canned food companies in Taoxian County are also in a bad situation; they can no longer sell the yellow peaches that cost more than ten yuan a bottle last year.

They desperately bought up yellow peaches at high prices to make canned yellow peaches, and in less than a month, they had stored them in several warehouses.

Nobody in the county buys this stuff, and people from outside the county are even less likely to buy it.

As more and more yellow peaches ripen, fruit farmers who had hoped to raise prices have ended up selling their peaches for less money than last year.

In Guantou Town, only Tao Chunyang is still buying large quantities of yellow peaches; everyone else has stopped.

The logistics costs are too high, and there are no sales channels, so it's simply unsustainable.

Tao Chunyang can sell to Tian Ersan, but the others don't have this channel and can't compete with Tao Chunyang.

Many manufacturers have opened numerous online stores selling canned yellow peaches, but the volume is not significant when spread out.

With the bankruptcy of some canneries in Guantou Town, many non-compliant, unlicensed canneries across the country, including Taoxian County, are also facing a wave of closures.

This path was already complicated to begin with, and now it's just returning to normal.

Tian Ersan's clothing business is also not doing well; many people who bought clothes for 100 yuan last year can wear them for three or four years.

Nowadays, there's not much of a market left. People rely on new customers to make a little money, barely enough to support three or four thousand cheap workers.

The monthly salary is over 2,000 yuan, with one day off per week and social insurance.

Business was booming. Cotton Town and some foreign companies gave orders to Tian Ersan. There was never a shortage of work in the factory, but it was stipulated that each person could only earn 80 yuan a month. After finishing their work, they had to go home and were not allowed to loiter in the factory.

As August progressed, Tian Ersan, aside from going in once to resolve the resource shortage issue, had been busy with other things.

The inn recruited a few useless generals who were just drawing salaries, and Tian Ersan simply ignored them.

At 6 PM on August 8th, Tian Ersan appeared in the live broadcast room.

"Hello everyone, today is the 88 Mom Shopping Festival. Last year's products are all on the official website, with the same quality and price. Today I'm only promoting one product!"

Tian Ersan waved to the camera, and soon a scholar dressed as a researcher came over carrying a bucket of milk powder.

"This is Professor Yi Xiannong, a fellow townsman from Tao County, Zhongzhou!"

"Professor Yi graduated from Zhongzhou Agricultural University and is a professor there. He is a dairy cow expert and a native of Yijiazhuang, Zhongzhou. He is currently the chairman of Yijiazhuang Tiantian Milk Powder Company."

Yi Xiannong smiled at the camera and said, "Hello everyone, this is the Tiantian milk powder that I developed."

“A few months ago, my company went bankrupt and couldn’t continue operating, so I asked Mr. Tian for help. Mr. Tian invested 20 million yuan in my company, only asking for one percent of the shares.”

Tian Ersan said to the camera: "I have always felt that the 88 Mom Shopping Festival is missing a heavyweight product as its crown jewel. I'm not saying that sausages and canned goods are bad, but this 88 Mom Shopping Festival must provide a high-quality option for parents all over the world."

"That's why I invested in Tiantian milk powder and personally supervised its research and development and production to ensure that the product is problem-free."

"I'm not doing this for money, but to help everyone take better care of their children. So after discussing it with Professor Yi, we set the price of a can of milk powder at 100 yuan." "Don't think that because the price is so low, it must be unsafe."

Tian Ersan solemnly said, "If he has any problems, all my businesses, including online stores, clothing stores, forums, and game companies, will be shut down, and all my stocks and cash will be used to resolve the compensation issue. And this expert professor next to me will guarantee it with his life!"

Tian Ersan pointed to the old man who needed to take responsibility.

In terms of being an inhumane person, Tian Ersan never disappointed Yi Xiannong.

Yi Xiannong, who was being pointed at by Tian Ersan, smiled awkwardly and looked sincerely at the camera.

"I can guarantee there will be no problem. If there really is a problem, I will commit suicide like the people of Sangguo to atone for my sins, without anyone else having to lift a finger!"

If something went wrong, Yi Xiannong knew he would definitely be fired.

But he didn't know how embarrassed the Sangguo officials and experts who bowed and apologized would be after they heard what he said.

Tian Ersan said, "I don't quite understand this, Professor Yi, please continue."

Yi Xiannong nodded awkwardly, pursed his lips and said, "I can guarantee it! As long as you only have money and no special channels, and you are just an ordinary wealthy family or a working-class family, and all you can buy are the milk powders on the market, then let me tell you, my product is the best!"

"Whether it's the probiotics or various nutrients that babies need, they all meet the highest international standards!"

"It's not just one of the best, it's the best!"

"It is superior to all existing milk powder products! It is more nutritionally complete, lower in cost, safer, and tastes better! It helps improve children's immunity and cognitive abilities!"

"I know you all think I'm bragging!"

"I can open-source it directly! I will clearly tell all milk powder companies and manufacturers in the world the entire process, the complete formula and technology! If there are any problems, you can ask international experts and professors yourselves!"

"The formula is public. There is no technology that cannot be developed, only safety regulations that cannot be controlled! I can only guarantee that I have followed this formula and strictly adhered to safe production and quality control. At present, the production volume is limited. The first 10,000 cans are 100 yuan each, and the subsequent cans are 200 yuan each."

"Production will gradually increase. To prevent some families from not being able to buy more milk powder after purchasing, we guarantee that we will prioritize supplying customers who have already purchased, and will sell at least 100 cans to the mother or father at the price of 100 yuan per can."

"I have recorded the entire production process, including the production report, formula, and the production process of a single can of milk powder. Mr. Tian's account will release this video. Experts in the milk powder industry are welcome to try to replicate the formula. If they cannot do it, then I am committing fraud, and I am willing to accept all criticism and punishment!"

"We also hope that everyone can produce better milk powder and strive for higher standards."

"Mr. Tian, ​​I'm done speaking." Yi Xiannong was making a guarantee to Tian Ersan, not to anyone else.

After all, he messed up and would really be severely punished by Tian Ersan.

Tian Ersan nodded. "Thank you for your speech, Professor Yi. I know nothing about milk powder and agriculture, but Professor Yi dared to guarantee it with everything he has. I have never seen such backbone and courage from other experts, so I believe him."

"I will put Professor Yi's biography on the official website later, including his home address and family situation, the school he graduated from, his personal assets, all the positions he held, his nationality and ethnicity, etc."

“These have all been approved by Professor Yi,” Tian Ersan added.

Yi Xiannong nodded seriously. Whatever the lord says goes. It's really not easy to make a living.

Tian Ersan continued, "I have a pretty good eye for people. Although I don't know anything about agriculture, I think Professor Yi is definitely better than me in agriculture. He is a real expert and a real professor."

"Moreover, he and I are both from Tao County. He doesn't receive any government subsidies, doesn't engage in any cliques or connections, never attends expert meetings, and has been engaged in rural labor practice for over fifty years. He has no children, has never been married, has never had time to date, and has never done anything immoral."

"His family's assets are all in the countryside, except for one bankrupt factory that only has dairy cows."

"You are free to check his household registration book. Professor Yi and I are both willing to take responsibility for what we have said and done!"

“I also obtained the consent of a mother in our company, who also believes in Professor Yi.”

At this moment, Bai Xiumei came over carrying her four-month-old baby, Wang Xiaoqiang, and placed him on the table.

"This is my son, Xiaoqiang. He grew up drinking Tiantian milk powder. He's been drinking it for a month and a half now, and he's been very healthy."

Wang Xiaoqiang rolled over, got up, glanced at the camera, then quickly and quietly looked away and crawled elsewhere.

He doesn't want to be famous.

What Xiaoqiang thinks is completely unimportant.

The important thing is that YiXianNong chose open source!!

If the formula is made public and problems arise, not only will you apologize, but you'll also have to take responsibility along with Tian Ersan!
Finally, out of 1.4 billion people in China, an expert has emerged who dares to risk his life to take responsibility for the public!

Global infant formula companies held an emergency meeting.

If they could really replicate this success and make it better than everyone else's milk powder, then the world's top milk powder companies, an industry with a market value of over one trillion, would be ruined by these two bastards!

Trillions of dollars worth of patents and markets are about to collapse!!
****
"Can stabilize the universe?! I'll f*** your mother!!"

Neng Dingkun was sweating profusely. He should have solved Yi Xiannong's problem, but he never expected that this old man was not a simple, ordinary professor.

Of the more than 300,000 professors in the country, who would have thought that an unknown, unaffiliated, and senior professor would actually provoke pressure from several of the world's largest livestock-producing countries...

Just like a fart that reveals a pile of shit, those who helped cover up a series of things before will now all be exposed.

What's even more terrifying is that nobody knows how deep the water is here. Trust between superiors and subordinates has been completely lost, and a thorough investigation is inevitable.
