Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence-Chapter 225 - 141: Plans to Start a Company and Lease a Factory! (3-in-1)
Having tasted the flavor of the Eight Treasure Pickles.
Dad and Mom were no longer worried like before; they became full of confidence.
With such delicious Eight Treasure Pickles, there’s surely no worry about selling them!
"Son, what do you think is a suitable price for our Eight Treasure Pickles?"
Jiang Wen instinctively felt that their Eight Treasure Pickles shouldn’t be priced the same as the ordinary ones on the market.
Even though they’re the same Eight Treasure Pickles, the taste difference is huge!
Jiang Tao teased a bit and smiled:
"Mom and Dad, have you heard about Liubiju, the 600-year-old shop near Qianmen?"
"Never heard of it."
Jiang Wen answered straightforwardly; he never cared about such things.
"Liubiju? Seems like they sell pickles?"
Mom, Tian Xiaomei, had heard of this brand.
Jiang Tao laughed, "Yes, it’s said that Liubiju’s loose Eight Treasure Pickles are 90 yuan per pound."
"What, 90 yuan per pound! That’s several times more expensive than beef!"
Jiang Wen’s eyes widened at the price his son mentioned.
This price truly exceeded the limits of his imagination.
"Wow, can a pickle sell for that much? Will anyone buy it..."
Tian Xiaomei was also astonished, worried about its sales.
"Haha, you’re underestimating the spending power of Beijing people."
"As long as it tastes good, 90 yuan per pound will still sell like hotcakes."
"This price sounds expensive at first, but a pound can last several days, so it’s not that pricey when spread out."
Jiang Tao smiled, "I’ll take some time later to buy some from Liubiju for us to taste and compare with our Eight Treasure Pickles."
"If our Eight Treasure Pickles taste no worse than theirs, we’ll price them the same."
"If ours aren’t as good, we’ll lower our price a bit."
"Okay! Whatever you say goes, we’ll all listen to you!"
Jiang Wen had completely given up the authority of the head of the family; he obediently followed his son’s direction. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Jiang Tao said, "Let’s first take the pickles out of the pickle jar and marinate new ones quickly!"
"Alright! Let’s get started!"
Jiang Wen was now full of motivation, brimming with confidence in their future business!
While handling the ingredients, Mom said:
"Son, I think we can process more ingredients at once."
"This way, when we take out the marinated Eight Treasure Pickles from the jar, we can seamlessly start on the new batch."
"This saves us a day in the brine process, saving quite a bit of time in a month."
"Great idea, Mom! Let’s do it! Your brain is amazing!"
Jiang Tao had thought of this too, but he credited Mom with the idea.
Not only do children need praise, but so do the elderly.
Hearing her son’s praise, Tian Xiaomei’s face lit up with joy and contentment.
The family of three chatted about the future while processing the ingredients.
After preparing everything, they sprinkled salt on the ingredients to draw out the water.
Jiang Tao again taught his parents how to make the sauce and the ratios of various seasonings.
"The order and ratio of ingredients must strictly follow what I’ve taught you; don’t get it wrong."
"Even a small mistake can lead to differences in taste and flavor."
"If we want to create our brand, quality control is critical."
"We must ensure every pound of Eight Treasure Pickles tastes the same."
"Today’s flavor can’t differ from tomorrow’s; shaky quality is unacceptable."
"..."
Jiang Tao taught his parents how to make the sauce hands-on while explaining product and quality control to them.
They were busy for more than three hours until noon at twelve.
All the ingredients were processed, and they made a double portion of sauce; the preparations were nearly done.
Jiang Tao took his parents downstairs to find a small restaurant in the city village street to have lunch.
Then, they split into two groups to continue.
Jiang Tao went to consult with a company about setting up their business.
Mom and Dad continued buying and processing more ingredients, drawing out the water.
Besides making a double portion of sauce, they also prepared double the ingredients.
Once the first batch is done marinating, they can start the second batch seamlessly, greatly improving efficiency.
...
At 1:19 PM.
A Mercedes GLS drove into the courtyard of the Red Star Second-hand Furniture Market.
Jiang Tao was very familiar with this place, having worked here for over six years.
Besides selling second-hand furniture, the market also had several agent companies for company registration and the like.
Jiang Tao parked the car outside a company called "Beijing Encheng Financial Consulting Company."
After getting out, he walked straight to the company.
"Hello sir, how can I help you?"
As Jiang Tao entered, a young man sitting at a desk near the entrance stood up and politely greeted him.
"I’m looking for Jiang Jiaqi, isn’t she here?"
Jiang Tao said as he looked around the office, not seeing the person he was looking for.
Jiang Jiaqi was a fellow villager of Jiang Tao, who had just graduated with a business management degree last year.
Jiang Tao was in the same clan as her father.
Of course, they are called brothers, but there is a considerable age difference.
Jiang Tao is only seven or eight years older than Jiaqi.
When Jiaqi was home after graduation, her father asked Jiang Tao to help find a suitable job for her in Beijing.
