Chapter 267: Love

"Black tea and green tea?" Li Chufan looked at Zhou Hao suspiciously. "Black tea and green tea can indeed be processed into beverages, but can there be a market for such beverages? Carbonated beverages and fruit juice beverages are fine, but tea, Xiaohao, this tea It’s so common, especially in China. Almost every household can buy tea. Everyone can make their own tea. Does it need to go outside to buy it on purpose?"
Zhou Hao did not agree with Li Chufan's view. It should be said that the facts of the future development of the domestic beverage market deny Li Chufan's view. Zhou Hao smiled at Li Chufan: "Everyone can cook at home, but why are more and more people like to eat out now? Why is our Mrs. Zhou restaurant so popular?"
According to market analysis, China’s beverage market can be roughly divided into three stages. The first stage is the "carbonated age". At that time, the beverage market was basically dominated by carbonated beverages such as Coca-Cola. The second stage is now coming. In the "juice era", various types of fruit juice drinks with complex styles have been launched on the market one after another, causing a trend of juice. The last is the "ice tea era". At that time, iced black tea, iced green tea, and various tea beverages swept the domestic and even international markets. In China, the largest tea beverage brands were "Master Kong", "Unity" and "Wanglaoji".
According to Zhou Hao’s previous life, the iced tea era officially arrived two thousand years later, but its development is extremely rapid, and its market size is growing at an average annual rate of about 30%. The future domestic beverage market will be divided into four parts: carbonated beverages, fruit juice beverages, milk-containing beverages and tea beverages.
Tea is a traditional treasure of the Chinese nation, and the value of tea is well recognized. The market for tea beverages is unimaginable. Many market experts have analyzed that it is an inevitable trend that tea beverages surpass carbonated beverages, especially in China, where the tea culture is extremely profound. s country.
Later, China alone consumed nearly four million tons of tea beverages each year, which shows how big this market is.
Zhou Hao said to Li Chufan: "Uncle, how many of the young people now know how to make tea by themselves? These are the hobbies of the older generation. People nowadays have a faster and faster pace of life, even There is almost no time to eat, not to mention the time spent making tea? If we repackage the tea and put it on the market, not only will we allow them to drink tea anytime, anywhere, but also promote our country’s tea culture."
Listening to Zhou Hao’s words, Li Chufan nodded,
You’re right. The heritage of tea culture in our country is getting weaker and weaker. Those young people drink carbonated soda or juice. I don't even look at it."
Zhou Hao laughed, "Look, uncle, we are carrying forward the quintessence of our country."
"But, how do you produce black tea, green tea and other tea beverages?" Li Chufan is a technician, so he is used to seeing everything from a technical point of view.
"The main raw materials of tea beverages are extract, tea powder and tea leaves, because these three raw materials all contain tea's most important healthy ingredient-tea polyphenols." Zhou Hao raised his three fingers and said.
Tea experts pointed out that there is not much difference in the production process of these three raw materials, and there is no obvious difference in nutritional value. Zhou Hao knew that when tea beverages were popular in the past, many unscrupulous merchants advertised their tea beverage products as "natural" and "healthy", but the tea beverages they produced were only a blend of flavor, saccharin and water, and tea polyphenols. The content simply fails.
What Zhou Hao intends to build is a long-term healthy brand, so naturally he will not do such a thing. He said to Li Chufan: "After the tea beverage market develops, consumers pay attention to the taste and health functions of tea beverages. In terms of taste, we can adapt to consumers through low-sugar and sugar-free methods. On the other hand, tea It has a very good health function. As long as we don’t produce substandard products, there will be no problems in this regard. Moreover, we can also add health care herbs such as honeysuckle."
Listening to Zhou Hao's words, Li Chufan couldn't help but nodded. The more I listened, the more I felt Zhou Hao's plan was good. Now it seems that the market for this tea beverage is really vast. And I heard Zhou Hao said that if the development goes well, the tea beverages they produce can not only dominate the domestic market, but also sell abroad and spread Chinese tea culture.
"Okay!" Li Chufan suddenly punched his fist and hit the table, shocking Li Ruolan next to him. He only heard excitedly: "We are now starting to develop this tea beverage!"
Zhou Hao smiled and nodded, "In fact, we don't need to worry too much. We have to do the preparatory work first, and our "fruit orange" has not been officially launched. This tea drink can be used as a follow-up product. "At present, the "juice era" of the domestic beverage market has not yet reached its peak, and companies such as Master Kong and Uni-President are still busy in the instant noodle market. Zhou Hao has plenty of time.
After drinking morning tea with the elders of the two families, Zhou Hao sent Li Chufan and his wife back, and Yan Tong also returned to Tongguang Company. Originally, Li Ruolan wanted to go back to accompany her parents. After all, Li Chufan didn't often come back from work in Huayu Village.
But Zhou Hao rarely returned from Hong Kong. How could the two elders let Li Ruolan spend their time on themselves, so they let Li Ruolan and Zhou Hao go outside.
So Zhou Hao and Li Ruolan came to the nearby Hongfu Park, enjoying the world of two while taking a walk.
The two held hands and walked along the path by the lake in the park. The willow branches by the lake were swaying in the wind and the scenery was very beautiful.
"In more than a month, you will be a high school student." Li Ruolan said, holding Zhou Hao's arm.
Zhou Hao smiled and said, "Will you still be my head teacher? I don't like other teachers."
Li Ruolan gave him a soft look, "I don't know yet, and I have to wait for the school arrangements. By the way, Gao Jingyi and Liu Shichao have successfully passed the high school entrance examination. Did they tell you?"
"Shi Chao already told me." Zhou Hao said. As for Gao Jingyi, she didn't call Zhou Hao, and Zhou Hao didn't dare to contact her.
Suddenly, Li Ruolan looked at Zhou Hao deeply, "Xiaohao, Gao Jingyi is going to study abroad soon, do you know this?"
Zhou Hao felt sad and nodded: "I know, she told me before, but it seems that it will take at least the second semester to go."
"Before the high school entrance examination, she used to chat with me." Li Ruolan looked at the rippling lake outside.
"Huh? What did she talk to you about, is she too nervous before the exam?" Zhou Hao knows that many girls like to talk to teachers about their concerns, especially Li Ruolan, a kind and responsible head teacher. Many students in the class are I like to talk to her and relieve my depression.
Li Ruolan shook her head gently, "Her grades are even better than yours. It's a natural thing to be admitted to Yuning's high school, so how could she be nervous. That time she talked to me because she liked it. A boy in the class, but he dare not go to that boy to confess, and that boy seems to have a girlfriend. But she likes that boy very much, so she is very confused and contradictory, don’t know what to do." Li Ruolan Looking at Zhou Hao, "Her father originally went to study abroad after she graduated from junior high school, but she didn't want to leave that boy, so she fought with her father and finally stayed here for another semester."
Listening to Li Ruolan's words, Zhou Hao's heart was also ups and downs. He certainly guessed who Gao Jingyi liked the boy, but he didn't dare to admit it, especially in front of Li Ruolan.
"Do you know who the guy Gao Jingyi likes is?" Li Ruolan suddenly asked Zhou Hao.
"Did she tell you?" Zhou Hao asked back.
Li Ruolan shook her head lightly, "But then Luo Hui told me." She sighed slightly, "In fact, without Luo Hui, I can guess who Gao Jingyi likes. In the whole class, except for one person, There is no other boy who would like Gao Jingyi's aloof girls."
Suddenly, Li Ruolan's fingers were twisting Zhou Hao's arm, and her mouth groaned: "You little pervert, don't you know how to give people some peace? Gao Jingyi actually asked me to say That's it, if you let her know that I and you... blame you, the pervert!"
Zhou Hao also knew that Gao Jingyi's thoughts could not be kept away from Li Ruolan, and now Zhou Hao did not dare to resist Li Ruolan's ravages, "Sister Lan, I, I have not actively pursued her, this, this, alas!" At the end, He sighed himself.
"I think she started to have a good impression of you since you rescued her at the gym." Li Ruolan loosened her finger, and gently stroked the place she had pinched, "Hmm... you That time the hero saved the United States and saved her little princess back. It's normal for her to fall in love with you."
"Sister Lan, I..." Zhou Hao really doesn't know what to say, especially now that not only Gao Jingyi, but also Li Ruolan's good friend Su Lin has committed himself to him. If she knows about it, Zhou Hao really doubts whether Li Ruolan will give it a shot. Kick yourself down into the lake.
Just listen to Li Ruolan said: "Gao Jingyi is indeed very contradictory. On the one hand, she knows that you have a girlfriend, but on the other hand, she can't let you go. At that time, your guilt was serious." She looked at Zhou Hao with a cold smile on her face, "Also, she knows that you have a girlfriend, but she doesn't know what happened to me and you. In this case, you Who is your girlfriend?"
