The Fusang Coarse Desserts Association, which sounded a little low-class, actually controlled almost all the shops in Fusang.
Because the entire association included 98% of the careless snack enterprises in Fusang, the careless snack shop owners who dared to defy the association would not be able to obtain any goods. Therefore, all careless snack shop owners could only purchase goods on the list approved by the careless snack association.
This list was called the food safety list, which was approved by the association to be very safe to eat.
As a result, any company that wanted to enter the coarse desserts industry had to join the association. At the very least, they had to be on the food safety list. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to put their products on the shelves of more than 100,000 shops in Fusang.
Therefore, today's monthly safety list meeting was the most important meeting of the association. All the new products had to be reviewed by the safety list meeting before they could be put on the shelves.
This was also the most important meeting for Mr. Jia and Crispy Noodles. Crispy Noodles could only be put on the shelves of Fusang if they passed the safety list meeting.
At this time, Jia Yapeng had already shipped 10 million boxes of Crispy Noodles from Hua Xia. As long as the meeting passed, they could immediately be put on the shelves of all the shops in Fusang.
At nine o 'clock in the morning, Ichiro Honda, dressed in formal attire, entered the meeting venue with two men. The meeting actually started at ten o' clock in the morning, but newcomers generally arrived before nine o 'clock and waited quietly for an hour to show their modesty and respect to their seniors.
There were more than ten people who arrived at 9 a.m., which meant that there were more than ten brands of coarse desserts to be reviewed at this meeting.
It was worth mentioning that even if companies had joined the association long ago, their new products would still have to pass the review of the safety meeting. Of course, the products of these companies were basically just going through the motions. No one would cause trouble for these big shots. Only the new members, like Da Qian, who had not yet been approved to join the association but were eager to put their products on the shelves, would be put in a difficult position.
At 10 a.m., the members of the evaluation committee arrived one after another.
The entire evaluation committee was made up of 75 members, and these members were also representatives appointed by various well-known companies in the association. According to the rules, the new product would only be able to pass the evaluation if it passed the approval of 23 members, which was more than 50 members.
The first to go were the products of the members. Most of them passed the review without a hitch. However, there was one unlucky careless pastry that was passed because a committee member found out that there was a grain of sand in the pastry. However, the member company wasn't too upset. They had hundreds of different kinds of careless pastry under their banner. It didn't matter if one of them passed the review for the time being.
By the time the review was completed, it was already noon. The review committee announced that the meeting was adjourned. Ichiro Honda and the two people he brought along could only wait in vain for the whole morning. It was not until three o 'clock in the afternoon that the review meeting resumed.
This time, the review was for non-members. There were not many of them, only two types of snacks.
The first type of snack was a popped food similar to corn cobs. This was a fairly traditional, old-fashioned snack from Fusang. The process was very mature, but the packaging of this product was a little innovative. It was two corn cobs with different flavors rolled together. It was a small innovation.
It could be seen that this company was very nervous about their product. Their CEO also personally attended this review meeting. Although some members of the committee raised doubts about some of the food additives in this corn cob, after the CEO of the other party presented various test reports, they finally approved it. With a score of 52 votes, it was very thrilling to pass the review.
At the moment when he saw the voting results, the president of the other party was so excited that he burst into tears. Later, Jia Yapeng found out that this was the sixth time this company had participated in the review meeting. The previous few times were all failures.
Products that couldn't pass the review couldn't become a member of the association. Although this company had been established for half a year, it didn't even sell a single product. The company was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Fortunately, they had finally passed the review this time. It could be said that the hard times were over and the good times were coming. It was conceivable that after the newcomers had gone through such trials, they would definitely be fearful of the old members who held power in the association. In the future, they would become obedient rabbits.
Finally, the association asked the new member how he planned to pay the membership fee. The other party immediately said that he was willing to pay 20% of the sales as membership fee. For newcomers, this was the best choice. They didn't have the ability to pay 5 million yen every year. They could only pay their own sales.
However, in this way, the price of the product must be increased to make profits. Whether this company could continue to grow smoothly in the future, only God knows.
"Honda Kun, it's your turn next. You must have waited for a long time!" Finally, it was the Daqian's turn. The chairman of the review committee, sitting at the top position, looked at Honda Ichiro with a smile and asked.
Honda Ichiro was related to the chairman of the review committee. The two of them used to be classmates in the same high school. This was also the reason why the Daqian could make it all the way to the safety review committee without a hitch. Otherwise, with the qualifications of this new company, the Daqian wouldn't have been able to enter the review committee without spending about half a year.
"First, Honda Kun, please introduce your product to us!" The chairman smiled. Honda Ichiro nodded, picked up the Elf Crispy Noodle Snacks, and began to introduce it vigorously.
The main point of the introduction was the Elf Crispy Noodle Snacks' unique way of eating by crushing it. This was an innovative way of eating instant noodles. It was a way of eating that could attract children, and at the same time, reduce stress for adults.
For example, one of the favorite ways for adults to reduce stress was to squeeze and pop those bubble protection bags. Every time a bubble was squeezed and popped, it would reduce the pressure on them.
The pleasure of crushing the crispy noodle snacks was far greater than that of the packaging, so his crispy noodle snacks would definitely sell well and so on.
This was the real core of crispy noodle snacks, which was the card. Honda Ichiro gave a brief introduction. This was Jia Yapeng's idea. It was better not to let the members of the review committee know about this killer move.
"What a joke …" After listening to Honda Ichiro's introduction, many of the committee members showed expressions of disdain. What a stupid idea to rely on crushing a packet of instant noodles. Would anyone really be willing to crush a perfectly good packet of instant noodles?
But the more disdainful people were, the better. This meant that the product wasn't very competitive and wouldn't leave too much of the market for the company behind them.
"Next is the food quality test report. In the past month, the association's testing laboratory has conducted a comprehensive test on the Elf Crispy Noodle Snacks and confirmed that this is a safe product. All the indicators are above the association's standards. There are no problems!" The chairman handed over the various test reports to the committee members.
Hearing this, Honda Ichiro let out a long sigh of relief.
In fact, this was what he was most worried about. Although the review committee was sometimes very disgusting for the benefit behind the scenes, they were still very strict about food safety. If the food couldn't pass the food safety test, then it was destined to fail.
Moreover, the test results wouldn't be announced to the company in advance. The results would only be announced at the review meeting. Jia Yapeng was very happy about this. He didn't specially produce a batch of products to send to Fusang. All the products were unified from the production line and were exactly the same as the products sold in the mainland. There was no difference.
Therefore, Jia Yapeng was also a little expectant and worried about the results. If there were any problems with the test results, he believed that the management of the Daqian food department would be in big trouble. They would be kicked out of the door by Jia Yapeng and then given a good kick.
Jia Yapeng attached the most importance to the safety of the product. He would rather set the price higher than harm the health of his compatriots.
Now that they had successfully passed the most stringent food safety inspection, Jia Yapeng let out a sigh of relief. However, the managers of the food department didn't know that they had just walked through the gates of hell.
"Finally, please check the packaging of the Elf Crispy Noodle Snacks and do the final test before eating it!" Said the chairman. This was the last step of the review committee. As long as this step was passed, then they could directly vote on the review.
The staff quickly put a packet of Elf Crispy Noodle Snacks in front of each committee member. The committee members first checked the whole package inside and out, then tore the package open. According to the practical instructions, they first took out the seasoning package and the card inside, then completely crushed the whole package.
At this moment, many of the committee members who had complained that it was meaningless to crush the flatbread revealed joyful expressions the moment they crushed the flatbread.
"Wow! This is such a happy feeling! " Many of the committee members shook their heads happily. This made Ichiro Honda breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that things were settled.
But at this moment, a committee member suddenly stood up and asked Ichiro Honda, "Mr. Honda, I saw the production address on the packaging of your product is in Hua Xia. Isn't this product produced in Fusang?"
"Oh no!" Ichiro Honda's face changed, and he suddenly felt a little cold.
