China, Fooshan Dairy Company.

Since the outbreak of the European War, the business of various Chinese companies has begun to improve. Chinese companies know that once a war breaks out in Europe, it will be time for everyone to make a lot of money. Now many large Chinese companies have developed through the spring breeze of the First World War. Thanks to the large number of orders from both sides at that time, China's state-owned enterprises and Xingke Group could not finish it. In addition, Wen Desi intends to support national industries, so many orders were missed for the private sector. Therefore, the development of Chinese private enterprises during World War I was like magic, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as springing up after a rain and changing with each passing day.

Foothill Dairy Company is no exception. This private dairy company made its fortune in World War I. At that time, especially the allies whose maritime transportation lines were cut off, the Eurasian Railway became their main supply line, and the largest seller was China. After the war mobilization, the productivity of all countries was mainly tilted towards the military industry. In addition, the large-scale mobilization caused a shortage of rural labor, resulting in a large gap in civilian supplies and agricultural products, so we had to buy from the People's Revolutionary Federation countries led by China.

These products cover all-encompassing aspects, covering daily chemicals, hardware, machinery, electronics, textiles, food, medicines, etc., especially daily necessities such as food. In the late period of the war, not only flour, but also grains such as rice were unable to be self-sufficient, but even dairy products were also facing insufficient production.

Lushan Dairy was originally a small family-style factory, which made its fortune because it received a list of orders from the Allies from the Development and Reform Commission. Three thousand tons of dried cheese and butter are too many for such a small factory, and it is impossible to have so many orders in normal times.

Not only the foothill dairy company, it should be said that the entire dairy industry in China entered the spring because of the First World War. Before the First World War, China's dairy industry was not large in scale. Except for a few state-owned enterprises, the rest were small factories and the number of products was small.

This is mainly because the eating habits of the East and the West are different. Orientals, especially Orientals at that time, rarely eat dairy products. Even milk and yogurt were forced to be promoted in their territory after the Party of Science and Technology rose up. Not to mention the things like cheese and butter, except for some herders and shops that operate Western food and snacks, no one uses them at all. But in Western countries, it is different. People use cheese and butter as important ingredients in their daily diet, and some people even eat less, so the demand is huge.

Of course, with the rise of China's economy and the people's living standards have shown a leap forward, the foodie empire has naturally become increasingly showing its true colors. Some foods that were rarely eaten or had no conditions to eat have gradually appeared on people's dining tables, and foods like dairy products are no exception. In the past twenty years, China's dairy market has developed very rapidly, and its industrial scale is larger than the previous few thousand years.

Manager Zifeng was patrolling the warehouse. He randomly inspected several boxes of cheese and nodded with satisfaction. Then he said seriously to the warehouse manager next to him: "Lao Ke, these are what Europe wants. Be careful to separate from the domestic ones, and you must pay attention..."

"Manager, we know that anything with additives such as protein essence cannot be sold in China..." Ke Lejia next to him nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"We must not be confused! The country now has a very strict control over food and medicine. If we make a mistake, we will either go to mining or plant trees for the rest of our lives." Zi Feng thought of those unlucky colleagues and said with lingering fear: "The Shuanglu Dairy Factory next door mixed exports into domestic sales. As a result, the incident happened. Boss Wang's family and all the people involved in the case were sent to Beihai to plant trees. Now there are not many middle and high-level managers in Shuanglu. Beihai is where Su Wu shepherds sheep, and he can freeze his ears in winter..."

"Manager Zi, don't worry, our company's quality management is very strict, and it is stricter than the national standards. And we are all watching. There will definitely be no problems..." Ke Lejia said quickly. He also knew very well that if there was a problem, he would not be able to escape. Shuanglu next door had a large number of people, from the boss to the staff below.

?Yes, although there are many clauses involving the death penalty in China nowadays, they are all the highest sentencing. Except for the particularly serious crimes in society, the death penalty is generally not sentenced. The most commonly used is exile and labor reform, but there are several additional sentences that are more severe. For example, if a criminal involved in food and drug safety is just labor reform, it would be fine. The key is that before this, he would have to parade in major cities across the country, the hometown and long-term residence of the criminals, and then hold a criticism and fight meeting in front of his peers across the country, and then leave a famous name on the "Pillar of Shame" at the gate of the National Industry Association. This person has a face, and even if he comes out in the future, he will not be able to survive in this industry in the future and will not be able to raise his head in this life. This reputation will even affect the development of future generations. So for many people, this is a more uncomfortable thing than death. After the Shuanglu case, all relevant industries across the country have been paid attention to.

Well, Mr. Wen’s conscience is limited to domestic products, and the management of exported products is not strict. Things like protein essence that are strictly prohibited in domestic sales are legal for export products. Because the standard for exporting goods is: "As long as you do it with a conscience than your foreign peers, it is better."

In this era, capitalists in Western countries have no bottom line. China is just adding some protein essence to dairy products, but they are adding mercury to them. That's right, it's mercury. Dairy products with this kind of thing will not deteriorate after being placed for decades. The color is very good. The cheese made is more chewy and the cream is easier to form. Anyway, there are many benefits. How can conscientious capitalists not use such good things? As for the consequences, as long as they don't eat them on the spot, it's good.

Sodium nitrite, Sudan Red, formaldehyde, protein essence, etc., which were criticized in later generations, are very legal "safe" additives and preservatives in this era. Happiness is comparable, so the food exported by China is branded as "non-toxic products" and is very popular.

At this time, a staff member hurriedly ran in: "Manager, the TV reporter is here to interview..."

"Ah..." Zi Feng was shocked and asked quickly: "We haven't had anything bad recently, right?"

"No..." Everyone looked at me and I was confused.

"It's good if there's no, it's good if there's no. I'll go and have a look..." Zi Feng wiped his cold sweat and went out with a tough forehead.

Well, Zi Feng and others were falsely shocked this time. This time the reporter came here not because they had any misses, but because they reported them as typical export companies.

"Our Foothills Company has always been customer-oriented, and making products is the purpose of making conscience. Our products can be eaten with confidence..." Zifeng smiled and talked to the camera. As he said that, he picked up a piece of cheese from the product display stand and ate it. "We eat our products ourselves. Our company has always believed that as a food company, if they don't even eat their products themselves, it will definitely be unqualified..."

The reporter also picked up a piece of cheese and tasted it: "This tastes great!" The surname Zi is relatively rare, so when the reporter first saw this name, he thought it was a pseudonym and a stage name.

Zi Feng smiled professionally: "Of course, our products are particularly popular in Europe and are better than what they do themselves. They can be said to be in short supply! The products we provide for China have been analyzed by experts and formulated the formula and craft that is most suitable for the taste of Chinese people."

The reporter asked again: "Manager Zi, there has been a saying in society recently: It is said that we Chinese are not suitable for drinking milk, and that this is lactose intolerance, and 93% of people in China have this symptoms. What do you think about this statement?"

"Who said this?" Zi Feng resisted the urge to curse and said contemptuously: "Why are 93% of Chinese people suffering from lactose intolerant? He can think of such stupidity. If this is true, we dairy companies should be closed! This is completely unfounded nonsense! Promoting milk among children across the country is a policy formulated by the government. Do they understand better than our experts?"

"Uh, it seems that those who say this are experts. They say that it is because Chinese people lack lactase, so they are not suitable for drinking dairy products..." said the reporter.

"The experts who say this must have eaten after they were born." Zi Feng said angrily: "These experts probably forgot a fact. When they were born from their mother's womb, Europeans foster milk, Americans foster milk, and Africans foster milk, don't Chinese people eat milk? The first bite of a newborn is not steamed buns or rice, but still milk. The best alternative to babies after weaning is milk. The real difference is that most Europeans and Americans have developed the habit of drinking milk for life, so lactase does not have a gap in their lifetime. Due to their living habits, most people do not drink milk for life, which leads to temporary loss of lactase. However, the retention and retention of this enzyme is reversible. Drinking milk will lead to abundance, and if you don't drink milk, you will die."

"In the years since my country's promotion of nutritious meals, have you heard that 93% of Chinese people have problems drinking milk?" Zi Feng said indignantly. Such things about jobs must not retreat, not to mention that this statement is ridiculous.

"As for the 93% data they said, I believe it is true..." Zi Feng said sarcastically: "But the more appropriate statement should actually be: 93% of adult Chinese people do not have the habit of drinking dairy products for a long time. So the problem in this statement is actually inverting the causal relationship. It is because Chinese people are not used to drinking milk, which leads to habitual lactose intolerance. Instead of saying that they are not suitable for drinking milk because of symptoms of lactose intolerance. Moreover, the lack of lactose enzyme in most Chinese people is only temporary. As long as they drink a small amount and multiple times, such as drinking only 100 grams each time and drinking milk for three weeks, lactose enzyme can generally be restored, and they will not have diarrhea after recovery. Therefore, people all over the world are suitable for drinking milk. Saying that Chinese people are not suitable for drinking milk is contrary to the objective reality of "food is first".

"Hey, Manager Zi, they said that the baby drinks breast milk, which is different from milk..." the reporter continued to ask.

"Of course it's different, but why don't they check the ingredients of human milk? The lactose content of human milk is 7-8%, while milk is only about 4%, which means that the lactose content of human milk is about twice that of milk. Since drinking human milk is fine, there is no problem with drinking milk." Zifeng continued: "As for a very small number of people are indeed allergic to dairy products, but this problem is not used by Chinese people. Westerners also have it, but there are very few such people."

"As for the saying that Chinese people are used to not drinking milk, it is also true? It is accurate. You can go and see the praises of dairy products by famous poets such as Li Bai and Su Dongpo. In all the more prosperous dynasties in ancient times, the Chinese consumed a lot of milk! But in the Qing Dynasty, life was not easy, so we Chinese gradually stopped drinking milk. Now we have entered a prosperous era. How can we not eat dairy products in such an era?" Zi Feng finally did not forget to advertise for himself.

After seeing off the reporter, Zi Feng said angrily: "I don't know which bastard made up this kind of rumor. Isn't this a mess? I think it's probably the ones who sell soy milk! They must be jealous of our business! If they have the ability, they will buy soy milk abroad!"

"Manager, manager, those German guys from yesterday are here!" The secretary hurriedly ran in with an expression of "Fat Pig is here to urge me to my house today."

"Okay, I'll go to welcome the big customers..." Zi Feng quickly stood up and greeted him with a gust of wind.

Half an hour later, several German guys said with satisfaction while eating the samples: "Mr. Zi, your company's products are very good! We just passed the sampling inspection and found that your company's products not only taste very authentic, but also have higher content of nutrients such as protein than our own products in my country, and there are no harmful additives such as mercury and sulfide. It seems that you are really very conscientious!"

"Of course, of course, this is of course! Mr. Will." Zi Feng said happily: "Mr. Will, our products have always been very conscientious!" He thought to himself: The products sold to Germans are all added with protein essence. Can the protein content not be high?

"Well, we hope that your company's products will always be at this level. We will first order 50,000 tons of dry cheese, 50,000 tons of butter, and 50,000 tons of milk powder from your company. Can delivery be made within one year?" said a German representative named Will.

"Mr. Will, there is no problem! There is no problem at all! We guarantee delivery on time, and you can rest assured about quality. We can ensure that every batch of products is at this level. Our quality management system is very perfect!" Zi Feng smiled so hard that he was out of sight. Our additives were all delivered in accordance with scientific standards, so there was absolutely no problem.

After the Germans left, he quickly called a phone call: "Hey, is it Xingke Food Equipment Company? I am the foothill dairy company. Yes, the foothill dairy company in Zhending, Hebei. If our company wants to expand production, it needs to launch 30,000 tons of milk powder production equipment and 50,000 tons of cheese and butter production equipment. Yes, I want spot stock, the faster the better!"

Soon he called another phone number: "Hey, is Chen's dairy farm? I'm Zifeng, you'd better expand production as soon as possible. I will increase the milk source by 500,000 tons in a year. How much can you solve?"

After making more than a dozen phone calls in a row, Zifeng put down the phone with a smile.

"Hahahaha, I'm rich! I'm rich! Fat pigs come to my house today..." Zifeng happily sang a small song. Each ton of dried cheese is only 400 yuan in China, but it is sold to Germans to add 10% according to the European market, which is 660 yuan per ton, which is more than half the price of domestic sales. The same is true for butter and milk powder.

Zifeng quickly called the personnel department again: "By the way, Lao Wu, hurry up and recruit people! With such a large order, our current employees are not enough! Technicians, workers, and logistics are all required. Well, go quickly, I know that people are needed everywhere now, so we should give higher treatment..."

This group of Germans not only bought "protein essence" dairy products, but also bought a large amount of "Sudan Red" cured meat and "Sudan Red" sausages.

"Lalala, Lalala, Fat Pig comes to my house today. Where do you ask the fat pigs come from? They are all from Germany..." So the senior executives of Hope Meat Products Company, next door to the Foothills Company, were also singing this song.

They also took a big order today, 100,000 tons of ham, cured meat and 100,000 tons of sausages, which made the whole company laugh. Of course, the cured meat and sausages were all added with "harmless" additives such as "Sudan Red", as well as some synthetic spices that are prohibited by domestic sales. These things are added with sausages and hams. The colors of these things are naturally bright and cute, appetizing, and the taste is particularly good, and the meat is also quite good.

……………………………………………………

The European war started again and became a feast for Chinese companies, and all public and private enterprises were frustrated. Not only did the Allies come to buy, but the Allies also came to buy. Although the Allies were not cut off from the road transport, it was obvious that once they entered the wartime system, their supplies could not meet the needs. This is also a lesson learned from the First World War. If you don’t buy it quickly now, it will not be the price when it is really short.

However, Wen Desi did not pay attention to these things at this time, and he is now attending a memorial service.

"General Zhao Erfeng's life is a life of struggle and a glorious life..." Wen Desi personally delivered a speech at the memorial service: "...... Before joining the revolution, General Zhao Erfeng commanded the battle to pacify the rebellion in Tibet. After participating in the revolution, he presided over the action to pacify the northwest and the old place of Anxi, defended the territorial integrity of the country, and made great contributions to the country and the people... The death of General Zhao Erfeng was a major loss to our army in our country..."

That's right, it was a memorial service for General Zhao Erfeng of the Army. According to the rules of the People's Liberation Army in this plane, when he reached the level of the general, he would be a lifelong profession, and there was no such thing as retirement. In other words, even if a general had retired long ago, unless he was deprived of his crime, the military rank would remain until his death. On the day of World War II, Lao Zhao died at the First Hospital of Hanjing at the age of 95, which was considered a death sentence.

Wen Desi then announced the resolution of the Central Military Commission to move Zhao Erfeng's spirit into the People's Heroes Memorial Hall, and will enjoy sacrifices forever from now on.
