Chapter 757: Chapter 776: Your Business War Sounds Very Impressive. (Mei Lin: Can I Learn?)
Start a factory.
It was an excellent idea.
Opening this kind of sauce factory was different from the previous vegetable factory.
A sauce factory was a commercial goods factory. With the right technology and labor, it could directly produce profitable goods, and the profits were quite substantial.
This would bring in money. And with money, the company would have more options as it moved forward.
As for why not open a crab roe sauce factory—
"There are many reasons."
"The main reason is the raw materials." Jiang Qiuqiu had purchased the plump crabs several times and was familiar with them. Although they had been on the market for over a year, the cultivation technology, for various reasons, was still exclusively in the hands of the Agricultural Research Institute.
There had been talk of selling the breeding technology before.
But the more they talked about it, the more impossible it became to open a crab roe sauce factory.
"Because breeding takes time. If they buy the technology before us, their crabs will probably be ready for harvest before ours," Qian Xingxing added, having realized the key point.
"Exactly. They’ll definitely launch first, which means they can capture the market ahead of us."
As a latecomer, making the same product as an established player is an easy way to attract criticism.
Even if... the other party was the one who copied Jiang Qiuqiu’s technique.
Public opinion can be one-sided sometimes.
Just as they were analyzing the crab roe sauce factory situation, a voice suddenly cut in, "So are we just going to let them sell crab roe sauce and make a killing?"
An avatar lit up, and everyone realized it was Mei Lin.
She was in the discussion group and had also joined the joint conference call.
"Of course not. We can use other methods to squeeze them out."
Jiang Juju’s voice was low, sounding formidable.
Mei Lin asked, "Juju, are you good at business?"
"Huh? I wouldn’t say I’m good at it, but for this particular matter, I happen to have a few ideas." ’It’s just a commercial war to capture the market.’
Although she had never directly participated in one back in the 21st century, she had seen it happen many times.
"Oh, are you guys going to go head-to-head with that sauce factory? If so, can I watch?" She was curious, as she was the one who had discovered the issue in the first place. "I’m studying finance, and I want to see what a real business war looks like."
That was a strange thing to say. Qian Xingxing couldn’t help but interject, "The Dais Family has plenty of businesses. Mei Lin, you’re the only daughter; have you never managed a company?"
"My dad manages everything. I’m not very involved. I did oversee one company before—" She seemed to be recalling. "But no one started a business war with me back then."
"I just bought whichever company I liked."
"..."
Qian Xingxing had no comeback for that.
"Well, Mei Lin, you can watch and gain some experience. It might come in handy when you manage your family’s companies in the future."
"Whether it comes in handy is a problem for the future... I just think this is interesting." Mei Lin never wanted to miss out on anything fun.

Jiang Qiuqiu and the others settled on a preliminary plan.
Regardless of anything else, the first step was to build a factory.
Since this was a sauce factory that required Jiang Qiuqiu to test and adjust recipes, the first factory wasn’t established on a Remote Star like the last one. Instead, it was set up in a small area on Federation Star itself.
A place that could be reached in about 10 hours via a high-speed Hovercar.
Zoning the factory building, hiring staff, ordering custom jars...
Purchasing raw materials—it all happened quietly, under the radar.
The factory construction project moved forward steadily.
Jiang Qiuqiu also dedicated some of her attention to resuming her previous long-format livestreaming plan.
Her fans were certainly happy that she would be producing more food in a single day.
But when they heard that starting next month, Qiuqiu’s return date would be temporarily undecided, that joy was slowly washed away.
