My girlfriend is from 1949

"Three kinds?"

Luneng looked surprised and took it to examine it carefully.

From the outside, there's nothing special about it.

He also discovered that the date was less than half a month after it was produced.

That's absolutely something new!

Is the plan to do regular canned food wholesale instead of handling near-expiry food?

In that case, his deal is in jeopardy!

Shandong Luneng thought about it for a long time before they came up with the idea of ​​buying near-expiry canned goods at low prices and then selling them through Chen Huai'an's channels to make a profit from the price difference.

As it turns out, others have already ordered canned luncheon meat and seem to have switched to a legitimate business.

Will you still want his near-term futures?

Luneng took the can and searched it over and over.

He asked in surprise, "Why isn't there a pull ring?"

Chen Huai'an smiled, picked up a can, and walked to the tray outside the guard post.

Then I took out a can opener and cut the can lid open.

In terms of opening method, it takes more time and effort than pulling a can.

But when Luneng saw it, his pupils couldn't help but contract.

He naturally did thorough research before deciding to go into the canned food business.

Ordinary canned goods on the market can be opened by simply pulling on the tab.

It's very easy to operate.

However, some canned goods are made of thickened tinplate and do not have an easy-pull tab design.

It can prevent accidental damage during transportation and lead to seal failure. A special can opener is required when consuming it.

Alternatively, you can chop it open directly with a kitchen knife.

Moreover, just by looking at it, you can tell that the meat content is much higher than in his can.

Luneng took a bite, and his brows immediately furrowed.

It tastes oily and a bit salty.

Compared to his jar, the one produced in a small workshop and with various spices added tasted far inferior.

But it was precisely because of the poor taste that my heart was filled with turmoil.

If we consider the taste and meat content ratio, it's not a big deal for a product nearing its expiration date.

It was produced half a month ago, so the expiration date can't be good!

Furthermore, the absence of a pull ring is clearly for ease of transportation and storage.

There's only one answer: it's supplied to the military!

Only military canned food prioritizes survival over taste!

Military canned goods have a high solids content, as well as a high oil and salt content, in order to provide high calories and help prevent spoilage. They also tend to have a relatively simple and hard texture.

However, with such a design, the shelf life is usually 3-5 years or even longer.

It is more resistant to airdrops and drastic changes in high and low temperatures.

"You wouldn't do this with ordinary civilian products, how could he even get military orders? That's incredibly audacious!"

Shandong Luneng's eyes widened, their hearts filled with turmoil.

Watching the young man opening the can, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unfamiliarity.

It seems that the long-time employee I've worked with for two years isn't the same person.

"Mr. Lu, please try these two cans."

Chen Huai'an opened the other two cans and handed them to him.

One jar of braised pork with preserved mustard greens, and one jar of braised pork belly.

Looking at the layer of white oil on the surface, Shandong Luneng couldn't bring themselves to eat it.

This thing is coated in lard, and it's impossible to eat without heating it up.

However, I must admit that the materials used are truly high-quality.

In terms of meat quality, it is strictly selected, which is completely different from the shoddy meat used in small workshops.

Shandong Luneng glanced at the content and immediately understood that this must be supplied to the military.

If you find lymph nodes, spoiled meat, or substandard content in this product, the supplier will be in big trouble!

He wanted to try it, but seeing the cold lard coating the meat slices, he didn't take a bite.

However, Chen Huai'an never intended to actually let him eat it.

Opening the three cans on purpose was merely a negotiation tactic.

The saying goes, "Without comparison, there is no harm."

Only through comparison can we prove how bad the products from small workshops really are!

If it were sent to soldiers or civilians, they certainly wouldn't give it a second glance.

But it's perfect for using the money for aid and winning people's hearts!

If the quality is too good, he might be reluctant to part with it!

Chen Huai'an, carrying a jar of braised pork, smiled and quoted the purchase price.

Shandong Luneng were not surprised when they heard the offer.

Because if it's a large-volume, stable supply, then the quality and price would be strange.

However, after comparison, the luncheon meat from my own small workshop was clearly more expensive.

Moreover, it's nearing the expiration date, so its value will be discounted even further.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, saying disappointedly, "It seems Huai'an doesn't think much of my goods... But then again, they really can't compare!"

Shandong Luneng shook his head, his face full of bitter smiles.

Even he himself felt that it was better to compare prices than to buy something else.

Why would someone buy from another company that has products that are cheap and of high quality?

I was just going to say a few polite words before leaving after unloading the goods.

A voice that lifted his spirits reached his ears.

"If the price is right, I can buy all your goods."

Whether I make money or not doesn't matter; I'll just consider it a way of thanking Mr. Lu for his care over the past two years.

As long as they are registered and legitimate manufacturers with stamped quality inspection reports, I'll buy as many as they have!

They said they were being polite, but every word they spoke implied a demand.

Chen Huai'an wasn't afraid of having too much; he was afraid of having too little!

Various canned meats and fruits were highly sought-after commodities during the Republic of China era, and the whole world needed them!

The Soviet Union, in particular, had an enormous demand for light industrial products and food.

Chen Huai'an even fantasized about whether he would have the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors and make a deal to trade canned goods for fighter jets.

I'm getting a little excited just thinking about it.

So let alone 30 million cans, even if it were 300 million cans, he would want them all!

Behind it lies a complete world; there's no need to worry about not being able to digest it.

Moreover, there's no need to worry about anything being leaked when these things are delivered.

On the contrary, the older brother will definitely feel that this newborn younger brother has finally listened to advice, given up developing science and technology, and is now steadily developing into a major agricultural country.

This is exactly the direction the elder brother wants to see.

Luneng's expression froze, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

I blinked, wondering if I had misheard.

He asked, "Mr. Chen, you just said... you want as much as you have?"

In their excitement, they even elevated their form of address to one of equality and camaraderie.

You should know that there are many different kinds of canned food.

Fruits include yellow peaches, lychees, oranges, and pears, while the variety of meats is even greater.

And there are fish too!

China's total canned food production is projected to reach 620 million tons by 2025, accounting for approximately 43% of global production capacity.

If you were to collect all kinds of canned goods nearing their expiration date, the quantity would be unimaginable.

Even if he only makes a profit of one cent per can, the transaction volume over two or three years would be enough for him to buy an apartment in Tomson Riviera!

No wonder he was laughing so hard his mouth almost reached his ears.

Don't even mention calling me "General Manager Chen," you can even call me Little Lu without any problem!

I'm kneeling before our big spender, it's not shameful at all!

Shandong Luneng understood the immense profits they could gain if this deal went through.

Therefore, we adopted a very humble attitude and set very low expectations for the profits we wanted to earn.

Unfortunately, Chen Huai'an offered an even lower price.

It's so low that he might have to beg and plead with the cannery to have a chance of getting the goods.

But for the sake of profit, they would stand guard at the cannery gate every day to drive down the price!

Once the goods were unloaded, I couldn't wait to start haggling over the price.

Lin Wan looked at Chen Huai'an's upturned lips and asked, "What did you two talk about? He seemed very excited, and you were very satisfied."
