Chapter 4060: It's not a fuel-efficient lamp

Chen Xi really didn’t know that the toffee sold by Zhen’s family had a word on it. When passing by today, I saw an old man holding a sugar and asking his grandson what the word was. After the child knew it, the old man gave the sugar to the child. Chen Xi went to the shop to buy sweets.

After going there, Chen Xi found out that this candy was recently produced by the Zhen family. It is a thousand-character version. One candy has one character and is divided into 1,000 kinds. A long strip of paper wraps twelve pieces and sells it for one penny. In the sense of pure milk plus pure natural.

Anyway, according to the shopkeeper, this candy is selling well. There was no professional candy shop in the past. Since the Zhen family had this candy, there have been shops that specialize in selling candy. I often buy this kind of stuff.

By the way, this thing is really effective for literacy, but any kid who remembers to eat should at least recognize the word on sugar after eating a few times. Sugar is still very valuable these days, even if Chen Xi is in the south. The plantations in China, desperately producing cane sugar, cannot withstand the consumption of the Central Plains.

"How is this candy made? There is such a clear word in the middle." Liu Bei was surprised to get a piece of candy from Chen Xi's hand, with a very clear word "Yu" in the middle.

"I know how to do it, but I haven't thought about this aspect. The Zhen family's mind may really be full-length in business. It's really impossible to do anything else." Chen Xi threw the sugar into his mouth and said with a smile. Taste the sugar contains a lot of condensed milk.

To be honest, this is also a way of preserving fresh milk, but the way is more weird. It is estimated that the Zhen family can do it without any effort. This family has many problems, but it is indeed very good for business.

"I can taste the very rich milk flavor in the sugar." Liu Bei said with a frown.

Liu Bei doesn't like the taste very much, but he has been with Chen Xi for a long time. Liu Bei is very clear that the shelf life of sugar is very outrageous, and at most it becomes ugly. The shelf life of dairy products is really not good, and these two After being combined, it turns out to be the shelf life of sugar, which is also a very magical technique.

"Well, this is also a way of preserving fresh milk. It's just a little stranger. The Zhen family doesn't know what they are studying, but the general idea is okay. Although the internal vote really dragged down the Zhen family, it seems, They are still developing as a whole." Chen Xi said with a three-point smile, "Business development also requires technology."

In fact, from this piece of sugar, Chen Xi knew that the Zhen family had at least a condensed milk processing plant, a syrup plant, and a sugar manufacturing plant. Because they can make this grade of handmade sugar, most sugars are very important to the Zhen family. There is no difficulty in speaking.

Because this kind of sugar with words is obviously hand-kneaded, it is made into long strips in a semi-cured solid state and then rolled into cylinders and cut out. This process can ensure that the sugar and condensed milk are maintained at a standard temperature without being scalded. It is a technique in itself that it can't be used, and it won't be cold enough to turn into a solid. Coupled with all kinds of messy tastes, the Zhen family makes all kinds of jams 80% of the time.

This means that behind the Zhen family's gadget, there are pastures, farms, plantations, fleets, dairy processing, syrup processing, seasonal fruit processing, jam processing and so on.

Just thinking of this, Chen Xi feels that the Zhen family is truly excellent. Let them develop and they are a waste, let them engage in production, and learn to extend upstream and downstream without a teacher. It should be said that only the Zhen family is really conscientious and conscientious in the five major businessmen. To engage in development, others have other ideas.

For Mi Zhu, the business of Mi's family is just to promote capital. He doesn't actually have too many ideas for business. Being an official, growing the family is the essence.

Not to mention Chen Liuwei and He Dongwei. For these two, business is just a cover, and the family is the most important.

Needless to say, the Wu family is just a supportive business. They only rely on cross-border trade to deploy their domestic and foreign staff, waiting for the opportunity.

In the end, it seems that only the Zhen family is doing this as a career, and they are doing very well, even a little scary.

"Wait, you repeat, how many supporting facilities are needed for such a candy?" Liu Bei almost swallowed the whole candy. Are you scaring me?

"The pasture needs to provide enough fresh milk, the plantations need to provide sucrose, the farms need to provide maltose and seasonal fruits, there is also a need for large-scale milk processing condensed milk plants, syrup production bases, and fructose flavoring requires some spices and fruits rich in sourness. , This can only be provided from the south, plus jam..." Chen Xi repeated it very casually.

Liu Bei started to count money. Liu Bei actually didn't like to count money, but he felt that he really had to count, whether the Zhen family could not do expansion, but only make money.

"Forget it. It takes at least 20,000 people to run these factories and fleets, as well as the manpower to make handmade sugar. If the Zhen family is to save trouble, even the sugar paper and everything else are all by themselves..." Chen Xi said and stopped. , Shook the sugar paper, opened the package and stretched it a bit, found the translucent glutinous rice paper inside, and fell into deep thought.

"At least two or three factories are not mentioned. The sugar paper is also made by the Zhen family, and it is made from bagasse from the dried sugar water. The inside should be made of edible glutinous rice paper made from wheat harvested by the Zhen family and some kind of grass from the south. "Chen Xi shook it. These things can be made by hand on a large scale. The only difficulty lies in how to develop the technology.

"In other words, the Zhen family is still very rich?" Liu Bei said with a complicated mentality.

"It's not very rich, but very rich. Just run these things. According to my previous understanding of the Zhen family, these things may not be a joint venture with others, but they are operated by themselves." Chen Xi said in a calm tone. Regardless of the value of these things, the organizational ability to operate these things is scary enough.

The Zhen family doesn't like to share certain resources with other families. The last time they accepted the shared resource was the Grand Canal. If it weren't for the Zhen family's hard work, the Zhen family would not accept sharing.

In general, the Zhen family will try their best to control the things they can control themselves. They can't build one by themselves. They are not short of money anyway, although they are not very good in other aspects.

Liu Bei sighed when he heard this. Chen Xi could call him very rich. Liu Bei didn't know how to describe it. It should be called the Zhen family.

"It's just such a small gadget, enough for the Zhen family to squeeze out the candy from other families in the market. They all buy candies. They have all kinds of flavors and the price is the same. The Zhen family's candies have a literacy function. Just treat it as psychological comfort, maybe my kids will learn too..." Chen Xi said with a smile, "It's a bit interesting."

Liu Bei has nothing to say, he can't accept it. It should be said that the Chen Xi in front of him and the Zhen family who are engaged in this are both professional, and ordinary people can't really play it.

"If that's the case, don't go to the Zhen family and let them continue to vote democratically." Liu Bei thought for a while. He originally went to see what the Zhen family looked like recently. Now Chen Xi has a glimpse and knows everything, and Liu Bei also I'm not interested anymore. Ren Zhen's homework has done some work, but I still have a good life, so I don't need to urge it.

"This family may really not be on the normal route, but it's good to do business. The Midyar Trading City should be the Midyar Trading City." Chen Xi also expressed a three-point sigh.

The Zhen family has a guarantee. No matter what it is done, there is at least a Midea Trading City. Although it is a condominium, it is a trading city. Rome has a Midea Governor squatting there. The room also needs to arrange a family there.

It goes without saying that it’s safe to be in that location. Even if the two sides turn their faces, Rome won’t take action against the Midea Trade City, which is a center of international commerce. There may be martial law in fighting, but it will not be sealed off unless the two parties have to die. One degree.

Whether the problem is for Rome or the Han Dynasty, both sides are too far away, far enough to be able to fight, but to the extent that it is impossible to do it.

"Are you determined?" Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi and asked. It's been a few years, and I thought you were going to wait until the Zhen family's democratic vote was finished.

"We can continue to vote on Midyah's side. It will not affect. According to the current situation, the Zhen family can vote until this generation of Patriarchs have fallen, and then change to the next generation of Patriarchs to continue voting." Chen Xi sighed and said, "They are now. The democratic voting of the People’s Republic of China is already a demonstration of an attitude, and the Zhen family will continue to allow the Zhen family to expand the scope of voting..."

Chen Xi touched his chin. He was thinking about whether the Zhen family had a brain hole or deliberately expanding the scope of democratic voting. Up to now, the Zhen family has drawn a lot of people into this voting scope, from the original family, the elder, to Branches, and then expanded to family and child, and then further expanded to shopkeepers and so on.

Although the voting power of the new tiers is being lowered step by step, is there a lot of people pulling, and how it looks more like a parliamentary system?

"Which one is the ancestor of the Zhen family?" Chen Xi asked with some doubts.

"It reached its peak in the pre-Han period and was the descendant of Taibao Zixingong." Liu Bei explained casually, "The words of the ancestors, Emperor Shun."

"I feel that what the Zhen family is doing right now is a bit like what certain people did during the Spring and Autumn Period. "The Position of the Local Official Situ·The Position of the Grand Situ":'The great cause of the state is to the king's gate.'" Chen Xi touched herself Chin said with some doubts.

Liu Bei was also slightly taken aback when he heard this. After a long while, the two sides looked at each other, and then they didn’t know that the Zhen family’s skills can be regarded as the Zhen family’s ability, but not the Zhen family’s bad luck. The parliamentary system is not so easy, and the Zhen family’s Kind of dangerous.

The term “commercial” means listing. Although the market has grown larger, its own shares are constantly diluting. Could it be overturned?
