Chapter 413: Adding some difficulty to the stick
"Is that so?" Li Chengzhi thought carefully after hearing what Li Shengli said, "Then you can take your brothers and sisters over first. I have to make sure there is no problem with the factory here before I can go over."

Li Shengli raised his eyebrows proudly at Han Qiuyun, thinking that his guess was more correct.

Han Qiuyun rolled her eyes at Li Shengli. Even if Li Chengzhi arrived late, that didn't prove that he was in love.

"Xiaozhi, you went on a date with that girl named Xiaoman today, right?" It is a very simple thing to confirm whether Li Chengzhi is in love. Li Shengli asked directly. This matter is not something shameful.

"Ah? Dad! How did you know?" Li Chengzhi was shocked. He had not told anyone about this matter. How did they know about it?

"Well, it's not a secret that you're dating someone. Of course someone saw you and told me." Li Shengli waved his hand to signal Li Chengzhi not to care so much. "Don't worry, go ahead and date. Your mother and I won't stop you. But I want to tell you one thing. You should think more before doing anything."

Lee Seung-ri just hopes that his son will not be deceived, but he did not forbid them from dating.

The main reason is that Lee Seung-ri doesn't want his son to become a bootlicker like Shazhu.

"Okay, let's go back quickly. Your brother should be asleep by now." This isn't something you should discuss standing at the gate. You should plan to go back in the evening and discuss all matters concerning the factory with Li Chengzhi.

After returning home, Li Shengli brought his eldest son to the reception room in the main house. Han Qiuyun didn't like to listen to these business matters, so she got up to boil water and prepare to wash up.

"Dad, what do you think?" Li Chengzhi began to ask Li Shengli about his next production plan.

"Oh, it's like this. Today, your mother and I took your brother to see a movie, and we came across a barbecue stall on the way. You know the owner of the stall, he's Banggeng from Zhongyuan." Li Shengli began to talk about his sudden idea.

"Banggeng? That guy finally wants to do his job seriously?" Li Chengzhi was very surprised to hear that Banggeng had also started to set up a stall. This guy was very arrogant before he went in.

"Let's not talk about their family affairs. Let's just say that we met Banggeng today. The barbecue stall he opened has average cooking skills, but the ingredients are pretty good." Li Shengli didn't want to talk about whether Banggeng had turned over a new leaf.

"Dad, do you mean to open a barbecue restaurant?" Li Chengzhi didn't think of his father's intention for a moment.

Li Shengli almost slapped him. He had learned finance in vain. What's the point of opening a barbecue restaurant? It would be fine to open a chain of franchise stores, but now the transportation and everything are underdeveloped, franchise stores are simply not feasible. Opening a chain store is okay.

"What's the point of opening a barbecue restaurant? It's better to open a chain store."

It is not easy to open a chain store. People have to be sent to various cities to find stores and chefs. The most important thing is that barbecue seasoning is not something particularly confidential. If a chain store is really opened, it will easily affect the business of the barbecue restaurant given the current underdeveloped transportation situation.

"You almost interrupted me. It's not that easy to open a chain of barbecue restaurants. I was thinking about adding a production line in the factory to produce a batch of prepared barbecue ingredients. Not only that, we can also change the flavors."

Li Shengli's idea is the same as his plan to open a hot pot base factory. Now that people's lives have improved and they can afford to eat meat, it is not cost-effective to eat barbecue at a barbecue restaurant or at a snack stand outside.

But with this seasoning, things are different. They can buy some meat and satisfy their barbecue cravings at home.

Not only that, in addition to this, some other seasonings can also be produced. After the hot pot base material factory is built, this hot pot seasoning can also be produced. "Dad, will this work?" Li Chengzhi was still a little worried, there was nothing similar on the market.

"Why are you afraid? We have the factory site, and it's easy to buy machinery and some raw materials. I have the formula in my mind, and such a simple thing can be made in two or three days."

These things have been tested by the market in later generations. After the rise of short videos, recipes like this have gradually become common. All the food videos on the Internet have posted all the recipes.

If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to open up the market, you will miss it later.

Moreover, Li Shengli's factory has all the necessary procedures, it is just a matter of adding a production line. The main difficulty is the formula, but Li Shengli has no shortage of formulas in his mind.

Although Li Chengzhi didn't know what his father was thinking, from what he had learned, he thought that Li Shengli's idea should be correct. Sometimes he even wanted to go out for some barbecue at night, which was enough to prove how popular barbecue is now.

Moreover, Li Chengzhi had to admit that with the continuous increase in state-owned private enterprises, there were more and more wealthy people. With higher salaries, they naturally had higher demands on their lives.

"Dad, you are right. I will go to the factory to order mechanical equipment tomorrow." Li Chengzhi is a decisive person and made the decision immediately.

"The equipment is easy to solve. You can just go to the machinery factory and ask. I'll leave these things to you. You can also look for the supplier of seasonings. I'll give you a form later and you can just look for it according to the form." Li Shengli was happy to leave all the things to his son, especially matters like this about business negotiations.

Lee Seung-ri is okay when it comes to some technical work, but when it comes to business negotiations, Lee Seung-ri may not have the same ability as his son.

"Your skills have not fallen behind, so don't choose a batch of defective products when selecting a supplier of seasonings." Li Shengli teased his son, telling him not to forget the family craftsmanship.

As a chef, Lee Seung-ri of course wants to teach his skills to his children. Even if they don't become chefs, it should be no problem for them to cook for themselves.

"Don't worry, Dad. This is our family's unique skill." Li Chengzhi patted his chest and assured Li Shengli.

"Then I feel relieved." Li Shengli nodded. Li Shengli did not own a lot of shares in his family's food factory. This was for his eldest son to practice, so in addition to the shares used to motivate employees' self-production, Li Shengli only retained 30% of the shares.

Moreover, these shares are not used to check and balance his own son, but he plans to divide these shares between Li Chengqin and Li Chengkang in due time. Li Shengli can't favor one over the other.

"Okay, have you two finished talking? If you have, wash your feet." Han Qiuyun walked in with a foot basin.

As soon as Li Chengzhi saw his mother coming in, he quickly said goodbye to his parents and went to get some water to take a bath and prepare to rest.

"Now you believe it, our eldest son is indeed in love." Li Shengli was soaking his feet with Han Qiuyun and raised his eyebrows proudly at Han Qiuyun.

"I know, I know. Hurry up and wash your feet. You're still like a child." Han Qiuyun gave Li Shengli a cold look.
