Engineer Lin and these technicians had been in the appliance industry for a very long ti. They were especially familiar with things like rice cookers—they knew them inside and out.
So, they were very familiar with the aroma of cooked rice.
A certain fragrance wafts out when rice is cooked, especially with the old-fashioned, wood-fired bucket thod, which produced an even richer aroma.
Rice made in an electric cooker had a much weaker fragrance.
But the aroma now drifting out was even more fragrant than the rice cooked in a wooden bucket over a wood fire.
In all their years in the industry, they had never seen a rice cooker produce rice that was this fragrant and appetizing.
Based on this point alone, the effect of this "electromagnetic ferntation" rice was absolutely incredible.
Once the rice was cooked, Engineer Lin had soone bring bowls and chopsticks. He opened the rice cooker, and the fragrance grew even more intense.
His face a mask of astonishnt, Engineer Lin ordered a technician, "Quick, test the rice to see if there are any issues."
"Right away!" The technician imdiately scooped a bowl of rice and took it away for testing.
As people who manufactured rice cookers, they naturally had specialized testing thods. In a short ti, they confird the rice was perfectly fine.
Engineer Lin and the others imdiately scooped their own bowls of rice and began to taste it.
The astonishnt on their faces deepened.
"Engineer Lin, this rice is delicious, isn’t it?"
"Yeah, I’ve never had anything with this kind of soft and chewy texture."
Engineer Lin couldn’t help but nod. He truly had never eaten such delicious rice.
He had originally planned to buy a few of the market’s best-selling rice cookers for comparison, but now it seed completely unnecessary.
After tasting it, they knew this rice cooker was incredible.
Engineer Lin knew this rice cooker would absolutely sell like hotcakes. Moreover, it was definitely sothing that the current rice cooker companies on the market couldn’t replicate in a short amount of ti.
That electromagnetic technology was just too amazing.
’I wonder where the new boss bought this technology.’
Thinking of this, he imdiately took out his phone and dialed Yang Lin’s number.
「Tianzhou City, a café in the afternoon.」
Yang Lin and Chu Yao were looking at each other. Old flas eting again, their encounters were often tinged with both nervousness and a hint of flirtation.
After that day, he had chatted with her several tis, subtly confirming that she was still single. Today, he had finally worked up the courage to ask her out.
Just then, his phone rang. Seeing it was Engineer Lin, Yang Lin answered imdiately. "Engineer Lin, what’s the situation?"
Engineer Lin imdiately reported the good news. "President Yang, we’ve finished the new model of the rice cooker! And after cooking so rice, the results are beyond your wildest expectations. The rice is unbelievably delicious. You should co over and see for yourself."
Yang Lin was now in an awkward position. The factory had produced the rice cooker, so he definitely had to go see it. Xiaofeng had entrusted him with the company, and he had to take it seriously.
But he had only just sat down with Chu Yao.
Seeing this, Chu Yao said with a smile, "Yang Lin, if you have sothing to do, you should go. We can et up another ti."
Her words were a great relief to Yang Lin. He hurriedly left for the factory.
...
In the Ga World, Lu Feng entered the Qingfeng Base carrying several old, used cell phones.
The used phones included mainstream brands like Apple, Huawei, Oppo, and Samsung.
He carried these phones toward a section of the air-raid shelter.
He planned to build a research and technology base here and was gradually moving the survivors’ living quarters and dormitories to the Zhuangyuan District above.
The buildings in the district were slowly being developed to be made habitable.
Therefore, he had sectioned off a large area of the air-raid shelter specifically for these talented individuals. For instance, Cheng Yaoyao was currently here with two appliance experts, continuing to restore other technical docunts on electronics.
Moreover, this area had been divided into individual office spaces.
Lu Feng arrived at one of these office areas with the used phones and saw Cheng Sisi programming so kind of mobile software. She was complaining, "Using this ancient computer to write smart software... the speed is just maddening."
The few people beside her nodded in clear agreent but didn’t voice their opinions. When they saw Lu Feng appear, they hurriedly and respectfully greeted him.
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
Cheng Sisi saw Lu Feng too and quickly stood up to greet him. "Boss!"
Lu Feng nodded in response, then handed the used phones to Cheng Sisi. "Sisi, see if you can write an assistant software for these phones. It doesn’t need to be too advanced, sothing at the level of about 60 years ago will do."
A level from 60 years ago—it was important to note—was still 20 to 30 years ahead of his own reality.
He’d thought of this earlier when he saw Cheng Sisi programming software for a virtual phone on her computer.
Appliances like rice cookers were part of the physical goods industry; superior technology could dominate the market. The sa principle applied to the online world—if you had superior technology, you could also dominate the market.
Besides, the most famous companies in the country were almost all internet companies.
Cheng Sisi was a bit baffled as she held the phones.
’Honestly, before the apocalypse, everyone was trying to create technology that was better than what they had. Yet, her boss was asking her to create technology from decades ago.’
’These phones also seem like they’re from decades ago, don’t they?’
’Still, this wasn’t a difficult task for her. The boss had given an order, so of course she couldn’t object. She just had to do as she was told.’
Lu Feng left the task with Cheng Sisi, checked on the base, and then, with a thought, exited the ga, appearing back in his villa.
Da Fei’s call ca through almost imdiately. As soon as he picked up, Da Fei said, "Young Master Feng, the Tea City is all renovated. We need to pick an auspicious day for the grand opening."
After receiving the call, Lu Feng also called Yang Ming and Chen Bo. The two of them had also invested in the Tea City, so it was best to discuss this kind of thing together.
In reality, he much preferred being a hands-off boss.
Soon, he arrived at the Tea City.
The Tea City was a renovated version of the old Wine City, so the renovations were completed quickly.
Many of the facilities could be used as-is.
When Lu Feng, Yang Ming, and Chen Bo arrived, Da Fei was already waiting with Xiaoyao.
Da Fei had specially brought Xiaoyao over from Youcheng. She would be a manager at the Tea City, in charge of the recruited Tea Masters. Besides, Xiaoyao was originally a bit of a tough girl, and her personality was quite assertive when it ca to managing people.
Thus, everyone needs a stage; with the right stage, they can shine.
Da Fei led Lu Feng and the others into the Tea City. Although it was a secondary renovation, the entire establishnt was very grand.
Chen Bo couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. "This Tea City is so much grander than the teahouse in Youcheng."
Indeed, a Tea City in Tianzhou City was incomparable to a small teahouse in Youcheng. The vast, open view of the main hall alone was an overwhelming difference.
In the hall, quite a few Tea Masters in uniform were already wiping tables and organizing tea sets.
Moreover, the shelves were already stocked with so tobacco and alcohol products. Of course, the most important item was Qingfeng Tea; Da Fei had already arranged for a shipnt to be brought over from Youcheng.
These Tea Masters had excellent figures and looks. After all, when it cos to tea service, as long as the tea is good, the next thing custors look at is the Tea Master’s appearance.
As for so-called tea-brewing skills, that was all nonsense. If the person was ugly and nauseating to look at, who would be in the mood to drink tea?
Just then, a laugh ca from outside. "President Lu, your Tea City is quite impressive."
Master Kai was seen walking in from outside.
Although he had stopped actively investigating Lu Feng, he still paid attention to what Lu Feng was doing in Tianzhou City.
’This President Lu had opened a Tea City in Tianzhou City, was working on an entertainnt center, setting up a beauty salon, and had even acquired an appliance store.’
’From the looks of it, he’s planning to put down roots in Tianzhou City.’
So, happening to pass by the Tea City today, he decided to check on the situation. He hadn’t expected President Lu to be here.
"Master Kai!" Lu Feng also greeted him with a smile and walked forward.
He wasn’t particularly surprised to see Master Kai here. After all, with his resources, it wasn’t difficult to keep an eye on soone in Tianzhou City.
This just confird that Master Kai had been watching him. As long as the other party showed no hostility, he didn’t mind this initial scrutiny.
After all, anyone in his position would do the sa.
Lu Feng took the opportunity to extend an invitation. "Master Kai, how about trying so of my homade Qingfeng Tea?"
"That would be wonderful," Master Kai agreed with a smile.
Da Fei, taking the hint, imdiately sat down at the tea-brewing station. He took a box of regular Qingfeng Tea, opened it, took out a single-serving packet, and began to brew. Then he poured a cup for both Lu Feng and Master Kai.
Master Kai had naturally drunk a lot of fine tea, so he could judge its quality with a single sip. After downing the cup, he said, "President Lu, this is good tea. In Tianzhou City, you could sell it for 20,000 a box."
Lu Feng naturally believed Master Kai’s assessnt, but he said, "Master Kai, the factory price for my Qingfeng Tea is 7,500 yuan. The retail price hasn’t been set yet."
Of course, the initial selling price in Youcheng had been 7,500.
However, prices like these had to be adjusted according to the market.
Master Kai was surprised to hear this. "Only 7,500? President Lu, in that case, give 50,000 boxes to start. I have the channels for this and can help you with sales and promotion."
These words were enough to leave Da Fei, Yang Ming, and Chen Bo completely flabbergasted.
50,000 boxes... the purchase price alone was 375 million! After deducting costs, even with their small investnt shares, they would still get a huge payout.
"Master Kai, 50,000 boxes are no problem, of course. However, my tea factory is just starting up, and we already have orders from many tea rchants, so production might be a bit slow." Lu Feng didn’t mind taking the order. After all, if Master Kai could really sell the tea for 20,000 a box, the profits would be even greater.
But isn’t tea just that kind of high-profit industry? The key was whether you could actually sell it.
Master Kai clearly wasn’t concerned about this issue. Instead, he said with a smile, "President Lu, that’s no problem. In any case, I’m ordering these 50,000 boxes. Have soone prepare a contract, and I’ll sign it now."
Lu Feng nodded directly at Da Fei, signaling him to prepare the contract. He himself pretended to walk over to the tea station, made a show of opening the tea table cabinet, reached inside, and pulled out a box of 3 Qingfeng Tea from his inventory space.
"Master Kai, since you’re so generous, let gift you a box of special Qingfeng Tea. Consider it a rare treasure." Lu Feng placed the box of 3 tea on the table and asked, "Would you like to try it?"
"Naturally." Seeing how serious Lu Feng was, Master Kai beca curious.
Lu Feng smiled, opened the box, took out a serving of leaves, and began to brew the 3 Qingfeng Tea.
After brewing the tea, he poured a cup for Master Kai.
By this point, Master Kai was already surprised. While Lu Feng was brewing, he had caught an incredible fragrance from the tea, a scent that was itself invigorating.
He eagerly picked up the cup to taste it. After one sip, he was even more amazed. "This tea..."
He could hardly believe it. He had only drunk tea of this caliber a few tis in his life, and always in the company of a few major figures.
Those big shots had all said that tea of this level was extrely rare. They could only get a small amount each ti and were usually reluctant to even drink it.
And now, this President Lu’s Qingfeng Tea actually included a treasure of this caliber.
The crucial part was that President Lu gave this kind of tea away so casually. His gaze fell upon the box of 3 Qingfeng Tea, and his eyes lit up.
