Chapter 1815

Zhou Andong looked at Pu Zhenrong, his expression more serious than ever before.

"Do you know about melamine?"

"I know!" Pu Zhenrong said without knowing why: "Dairy farmers add this stuff to increase the protein content of fresh milk, and dairy product factories also add it."

Zhou Andong was silent for a long time; how could he have forgotten such an important matter?

"I say, Old Zhou!"

Seeing Zhou Andong's face looking a bit ugly, Pu Zhenrong's eyes jumped, and the tone of his speech became cautious.

"What's wrong?"

Jian Qiu also looked at Zhou Andong in confusion, not knowing what had happened.

Zhou Andong took a deep breath: "Does the fresh milk produced by our farm add it?"

Pu Zhenrong had already seen that there was a problem: "It adds it, but not much, just a little bit."

Zhou Andong's brain was buzzing, and he really wanted to curse.

But cursing was useless; at this time, no one realized that this stuff would kill people.

Before the incident exploded, let alone domestically, even in European and American countries.

The law was also a blank slate, with no explicit regulations stating that dairy products could not add this stuff.

"Old Pu." Zhou Andong said solemnly: "That stuff can kill people."

"No way." Pu Zhenrong was startled: "I see many dairy farmers drinking it themselves."

Zhou Andong shook his head: "That's because they are uneducated and don't know that stuff is poisonous. And adults have strong resistance, so eating a small amount is not a big problem.

The greatest harm is to children; if they drink milk powder with that stuff added, it will damage their health at best, and it will really cost their lives at worst.

Old Pu, don't think this is alarmist; you should know that I graduated from Fengjing Agricultural University, and this is my major."

Pu Zhenrong's expression also suddenly became serious: "Of course I believe you on this matter, but adding that stuff is already the industry norm; what can we do?"

Zhou Andong took out a cigarette and lit it, watching the smoke slowly drift away, and said softly.

"After you go back, immediately convene a board of directors; all Yili products are strictly forbidden from adding it, especially infant milk powder, which must strictly control the quality."

"Difficult!" Pu Zhenrong shook his head: "If it's not added, it won't meet the testing requirements. If you want not to add it and still meet the requirements, the cost will increase significantly."

"Increase the cost, just increase the cost; as long as you can make money, it's fine."

Zhou Andong smoked a cigarette; he always felt so worried about the country and the people that his hair was almost worried away.

"If you think you earn too little, then build a high-end brand. With the deepening of reform and opening up, the pockets of ordinary people will also become fuller and fuller. Especially for only children, every family has only one treasure.

High-end, safe, and nutritious milk powder will definitely become the first choice for parents. If they still don't agree, then we will withdraw our shares, build our own factory, and build a milk powder brand."

Hearing Zhou Andong's words, Pu Zhenrong's eyes were as bright as light bulbs.

Building his own milk powder brand; if someone else said this, he could spray them to death.

But Zhou Andong is different; he has created one commercial myth after another, and the God of Marketing isn't called for nothing.

So, Zhou Andong said he would build a milk powder brand himself, and Pu Zhenrong had no doubt at all, full of absolute confidence.

"Then there's no need to discuss it with them." Pu Zhenrong was high-spirited and said with a fighting spirit: "Withdraw shares directly, we build our own factory and build a brand."

"You go talk to other directors first and see what their opinions are."

Zhou Andong felt that he was busy enough; if he got another milk factory, wouldn't this guy Pu Zhenrong annoy him every day?

So, if Yili agrees with his opinion, it's better to be a shareholder easily.

Pu Zhenrong was unwilling and wanted to say something, but seeing Zhou Andong's lifeless look, he finally gave up.

This bastard branded a fragrant meat pie for himself, and he could even smell the scent, but he wouldn't let him eat it; he was really a bastard.

"Okay!"

Pu Zhenrong knew he couldn't persuade Zhou Andong, so he could only agree.

But he still thought in his heart that even if Yili agreed, he would build his own milk powder brand in two years.

Anyway, I'll build the factory and produce the milk powder; if it can't be sold, you, Zhou Andong, can't just watch.

Zhou Andong checked the time: "Let's stop here; I have to go."

Everyone sent Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu out of the bar, and before getting into the car, Zhou Andong hugged Tang Lin's shoulder and whispered.

"Nie Wen is a rare good girl; if you like her, then get married, don't wait for her to run away with someone else and regret it. If you don't like her, then tell her clearly and let her go."

Tang Lin remained silent, Zhou Andong patted his shoulder heavily, turned around, and got into the car.

……………………

The next morning, it was almost ten o'clock when Zhou Andong got up, only to find that Jian Qiu had already gotten up and was not in the bedroom.

After getting dressed and simply washing up, he went out of the back building and saw Jian Qiu walking over with a newspaper.

"What are you doing with the newspaper?"

Jian Qiu handed the newspaper over: "For you to read."

Zhou Andong took it: "Is there any news?"

"News about last night's Ten Outstanding Youth awards." Jian Qiu pointed to the newspaper: "On the second page."

Zhou Andong flipped it open and sure enough saw it, and it occupied half a page.

Beijing, April 10th, report from this newspaper: Last night, the 4th China Ten Outstanding Youth awards ceremony was grandly held at Peking University. The 10 winners received the shining China Ten Outstanding Youth trophy amidst flowers and applause.

At the same time as the awards, the All-China Youth Federation, the China Youth Development Foundation, and 10 major news units in the capital, including CCTV and China Youth Daily, jointly launched a wonderful cultural performance.

The gala took "Cheers for Youth" as its theme, interspersing cultural performances with on-site interviews and exhibition of deeds, vividly displaying the youthful ideals and struggle journeys of the Ten Outstanding Youth.

Interpreting the true meaning of life that the ordinary breeds the outstanding, and the outstanding originates from the ordinary. The simple words and touching deeds of the Ten Outstanding Youth, set off by the artistic performances, drew enthusiastic applause and cheers from the audience.

Comrade Zhou Andong, Chairman of Yugong Group, is the most representative outstanding youth among the Ten Outstanding Youth; his feelings of caring for the motherland and loving the people are moving.

His spirit of perseverance and forging ahead is admirable, his courage to innovate and pursue excellence is inspiring, and the spirit and excellent qualities of contemporary youth embodied in him are examples for the vast number of youths to learn from...

"..."

Zhou Andong saw the back, felt his face was a bit red, raised his hand to touch it, and it was still a bit hot.

Even with his thick skin, he was a bit embarrassed by the praise.

Then he looked up again, oh, it turned out to be the Beijing Youth Daily, and then looked at the reporter of this report, oh, it turned out to be one of his own.
