Volume 254 [Murder Case]

After the meeting in Rongcheng, Song Weiyang returned to Rongping City and stayed for nearly half a month, carefully checking the company's situation in the first half of the year, and exchanged opinions with Yang Xin on new product development.

"It is certain to launch fruit juice drinks next year, and the state encourages them," Song Weiyang said. "But since we are called Xifeng Food and Beverage Company, we can't just make drinks, but also food."

"Biscuits? Fructose? Or eight-treasure porridge?" Yang Xin asked.

"Instant noodles." Song Weiyang said.

Yang Xin said with a wry smile: "I spent 50,000 yuan on market research last year. The competition for instant noodles is too fierce. Mainland brands include Huafeng, Longfeng, Hualong, Zhongcui, Nande, Jinfeng, etc. Brands also include Master Kong, Uni-President, Meichu, Yingduo, and Lucky... Last year, there were more than 1,000 instant noodle manufacturers across the country, with more than 2,000 production lines, and the production lines with a shift output of 50,000 copies are facing elimination. Now there are more than 10 shifts everywhere. A large-scale production line with 10,000 copies. The high-end, mid-end and low-end products of instant noodles have been occupied by domestic and foreign brands, and it is difficult for us to fight our way out.”

If it was after 2000, Song Weiyang would have suggested the development of non-fried instant noodles. Back then, Wugu Daochang did this trick, which set off a bloodbath in the Chinese instant noodle market.

But it is still 1996. Except for mineral water and purified water, other beverages and instant noodles belong to the "advanced diet", which is far from rising to the concept of "health". The launch of non-fried instant noodles at this time has only one result: the high cost leads to a lack of competitiveness, and it loses money and earns money.

"I think so," Song Weiyang said. "Haven't we entered the railway system now? This is a good breakthrough. In addition, we must start with the taste. Now the most popular products are braised beef noodles and spicy fried noodles. For sauced noodles, we can produce Laotan sauerkraut noodles, beef noodles with pickled peppers, and pork ribs noodles in soup. Develop distinctive seasoning packages, taking into account both heavy and light taste consumer groups, and promote them through huge advertising and inherent channels. Break out of the instant noodle market."

"This method works too," Yang Xin nodded, and asked again, "How about making ham? The ham market is also very hot now."

Song Weiyang denied it and said: "Not for now, this is a bit too far, we must proceed step by step."

The matter was settled in this way, and Xifeng began to develop sauerkraut and soup flavors, and planned to put them on the market during the Spring Festival this year. As for factories, due to the rapid increase of instant noodle brands in the past two years, many state-owned instant noodle factories are on the verge of bankruptcy. In addition, this year, state-owned enterprises have been sold off everywhere from the central government to local governments. And employment issues, the local government has fully reversed subsidies, and various policies have been given green light all the way.

As for Wang Leehom, who was replaced by the 21st level of purification, he was thrown to endorse Xifeng Iced Tea, and he was replaced by Uncle Ge Youge. The commercial song he sang was still the song "I Love You".

As for the new spokesperson of Very Coke, Xifeng Company is contacting Aaron Kwok. If you want to be young, energetic and dynamic, just ask Tianwang Guo to sing "Move Up".

Looking at the whole country, look at the situation of local enterprises resisting foreign capital.

In the summer, the home appliance industry can almost declare victory, and it is a comprehensive victory. All the bosses are too lazy to call out patriotic slogans for the War of Resistance, and began to build the world's top 500 with great interest, and proposed a "technical revolution" to break the monopoly of foreign technology and make each one more high-end.

At the beginning of July, Kelon took the lead in announcing an investment of 1 billion yuan to set up an electrical product research and development center in Japan.

Immediately afterwards, brands such as Haier, Changhong, and tcl announced the establishment of "cutting-edge technology centers" in the United States, Europe, and Japan.

It sounds bold and grand, but it is actually hype. After they have made foreign brands half dead, they are still fighting civil wars, and the price wars are going to die. How can they have spare money to develop core technologies?

After these enterprises set up technology research and development centers abroad, they continued to make "breakthroughs". For example, "photocatalyst air conditioner" is to add an activated carbon filter to the filter. The cost of the filter is less than 1 yuan, but the price of the air conditioner has increased by several hundred yuan. There is also the "circular three-dimensional air conditioner", which claims to be a patented technology developed with an investment of hundreds of millions of yuan.

The technological innovation of domestic brands turned into a concept war from the very beginning.

Haier is no exception, and has come up with a "sweet potato washing machine". Legend has it that Mr. Zhang inspected the Southwest countryside and found that farmers used washing machines to wash sweet potatoes, and the drains were often blocked by sludge. So Haier launched a washing machine with two drainage pipes, the thin one for laundry and the thicker one for washing sweet potatoes, and then raised the price to make a big publicity.

After the "success" of the watermelon washing machine, Haier launched a washing machine that can wash lobster and a washing machine that can make butter, all of which are black technology products.

The problem is that after farmers bought washing machines in the 1990s, they kept them as treasures, and usually covered them with plastic film and cloth sheets for protection. Farmers only use the washing machine to wash the sweet potatoes after seeing the devil. Put a basket of sweet potatoes in the water and shake it for a few minutes, which is much faster than using a washing machine.

As for the washing machine making ghee...the picture is so beautiful that I dare not look at it.

At the end of August, Song Weiyang returned to Shenghai.

Time Cafe.

Lin Zhuoyun was holding a homemade Italian pie and asked Song Weiyang to taste (test) it fresh (inspection). While cutting the pie, he said: "Tomorrow my sister will bring Doudou over. I'm afraid they don't know the way. You can drive a van to pick them up." ?"

"No problem," Song Weiyang carefully put the pie into his mouth, frowning, "It's too sweet."

Lin Zhuoyun tried it by herself: "No, I think it's just right."

"Maybe there is something wrong with my sense of taste." Song Weiyang likes salty food, while Lin Zhuoyun prefers sweet food. This is an irreconcilable contradiction between the salty party and the sweet party.

"Then I will make it lighter next time." Lin Zhuoyun said.

A policeman walked in suddenly, took out his notebook and asked, "Who is in charge here?"

Lin Zhuoyun quickly responded, "I'm in charge, what's wrong?"

The policeman asked: "On the 27th of this month, that is, yesterday, what were you doing?"

"I read books in the morning, read them in the store at noon and afternoon, and went shopping on the Fudan campus in the evening." Lin Zhuoyun replied.

The policeman asked, "Can anyone testify?"

Lin Zhuoyun said: "The shop assistants can testify that our coffee shop is open until 10 o'clock in the evening."

The police went to investigate other shop assistants, and the details were fine, and asked if they had found any suspicious persons in the past few days.

Song Weiyang handed over a cigarette and asked, "Comrade, what happened?"

"Who are you?" the policeman asked.

"I am the owner of this coffee shop," Song Weiyang said, "I have been in Xikang Province before, and I just flew back this morning."

The police immediately lowered their vigilance: "You haven't read the newspaper yet, the writer Dai Houying and her niece were killed yesterday. Dai Houying was stabbed more than 30 times. The scene was very tragic. Now the police force in the whole city is conducting a large-scale investigation. If you find out If there is any suspicious target, call the police immediately, and don’t go out alone at night. I’m leaving first, and I have to go to the next store.”

Song Weiyang immediately had an impression of Dai Houying's case.

This person's novel "Man, man! ", had far-reaching influence in the 1980s, was an idol in the literary world, and his works were translated into many languages. She used to be an associate professor at Fudan Branch, and after Fudan Branch merged into Shenghai University, she has been an associate professor at Shenghai University.

When Dai Houying died in the previous life, Song Weiyang happened to return to his hometown during the summer vacation. After school started, he found that the whole school was discussing because Song Weiyang was studying at Shenghai University, and Dai Houying was a teacher at this school.

This case was so big that not only the whole country was shocked, but many countries including the United Kingdom, the United States, France and Japan were following up and reporting it. Dai Houying's daughter is abroad, and the uncle of the niece who was killed with Dai Houying is also the official secretary of a certain district in Shenghai. This series of circumstances put a lot of pressure on the public security organs to solve the case. Not only did they investigate the whole city, but they even went to Dai Houying's hometown, and investigated 23 villages from house to house.

Although Song Weiyang had forgotten about the incident, he immediately remembered who the murderer was when he communicated with the police.

The murderer was working in Wujiaochang, not far from Time Cafe, that is, the hotel opposite the restaurant where Song Weiyang invited Ma Xiaoyun to dinner for the first time. The murderer worked as a chef in the hotel, and Dai Houying helped introduce this job.

The murderer's identity is the grandson of Dai Houying's middle school teacher, who came to Shenghai from his hometown to work. Dai Houying was very enthusiastic to help introduce jobs, but the murderer saw that Cai had an idea, killed Dai Houying and her niece, and robbed passbooks, cash, jewelry and Walkmans.

Do you want to report it to the police?

Although the case will eventually be solved, it consumes a lot of manpower and material resources.

The question is, how to explain it?

Alas, if only he remembered it early in the morning, Song Weiyang could stop it, but unfortunately he completely forgot about it.

The policeman was about to walk out of the coffee shop, but Song Weiyang suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" the policeman asked back.

Song Weiyang said: "I know a person who works as a cook in the hotel in front of him. Last time when I was having dinner with my friends in the hotel, I met him. He said that he is a relative of Teacher Dai."

"Really?" The policeman was very excited.

Song Weiyang took out his mobile phone and said, "You make a call and find some more comrades. Although I don't know if the cook is the murderer, it's definitely right to be prepared to prevent him from jumping over the wall with a kitchen knife in a hurry."
