Chapter 365： MSG

The best way to solve social conflicts is to let those people live a better life.

Improving living conditions has always been what Wu Changqing is doing.

Not long after the reclamation order was issued, Wu Changqing threw a chicken leg to the merchants and bid for the secret recipe of MSG.

MSG can greatly enhance the taste of dishes and various soups. For the rich, it is their major pursuit to eat better meals.

Increasing the income of the people is the greatest happiness, but for these rich people, a few hundred taels of silver and a few hundred taels of silver have little effect on life.

But with MSG, it can greatly improve their quality of life.

The technology of MSG extraction is high and low, and the low-end is directly extracted and produced from kelp. The disadvantage is that it is not easy to pick kelp, and it is only available at the seaside, and the cost is relatively high.

High-end technology can use gluten or soybeans as raw materials to produce MSG through acid hydrolysis.

This technology can produce MSG in large quantities, but requires acid-resistant equipment, wastes raw materials, and costs relatively high.

In contrast, Wu Changqing temporarily used low-end production technology.

After all, the current positioning of MSG is a luxury for the rich, and the amount does not need to be too much, just picking kelp and making it.

When conditions become available in the future, we can use high-end technology to produce it on a large scale so that the people can use it.

At the bidding meeting, many businessmen arrived early.

In the past, several large projects were invited to bid, and the businessmen who won the bid made a lot of money.

The remaining businessmen who were on the sidelines understood one thing. It turned out that this kind of bidding project was really a benefit given by the Dahua court.

Therefore, when there were projects that needed to be tendered again, they all came over and didn't want to miss it again.

Unfortunately, there is only one project that needs to be tendered today, and there are at least 40 or 50 merchants coming.

The bid winning rate is really too low.

Many people are missing the previous tender, and the winning rate was high.

Although hope is slim, it does not hinder their enthusiasm at all.

"Everyone, let's try some food first."

The servant of the Ministry of Commerce who was in charge of the bidding meeting ordered some dishes for everyone to taste first.

These merchants are not surprised, after all, they knew before they came that what they were going to bid for today was a condiment that could make the dishes more delicious.

"Yes, it really has become more fragrant."

"Is it fragrant? I don't think it, but after eating it, I feel addicted to want another bite inexplicably."

"There is indeed a very obvious difference, and it is worth the investment."

Everyone tasted it one after another, and found that the taste was really different.

Although it didn't turn these ordinary dishes into any extraordinary delicacy, the taste did have a significant improvement. And this is enough for everyone to invest.

This kind of stuff is needed in wealthy families.

"This is the monosodium glutamate extracted from kelp. Just add a small amount each time, and the taste of the dishes can become more delicious."

Said the minister of commerce.

At the same time, he also distributed a detailed introduction about MSG to everyone.

For example, how much MSG is estimated to be extracted from a piece of kelp, and the cost is probably how much. These data can facilitate businessmen to calculate their profits.

Next, let them consider and formulate the bidding plan by themselves.

This time, the Ministry of Commerce favors bidders because of their financial resources. The stronger the financial resources, the more MSG that can be extracted, the better.

After all, besides eating it yourself, it can also be sold overseas.

The Ministry of Commerce will not talk about this tender request, and let the businessmen try to figure it out.

Those who figured out the wrong way naturally have no chance of winning the bid.

For example, someone cleverly stated in the bidding plan that MSG should be sold cheaper so that the people can also afford MSG. This kind of bidding plan will be thrown aside directly.

This shows that this person bidder has no brains and no ability.

As far as the output of MSG is a little bit, is it something that the people can eat at this stage?

This priceless price is purely a matter of output.

This kind of thing, only the more expensive it sells, the better, the more expensive it sells, the more you earn, and the more taxes the court collects.

In short, bidding is a technical job, unless there is a back door.

For example, a certain businessman learned of the Ministry of Commerce’s bidding standards by giving gifts and bribes.

The problem of official corruption, no matter which court has.

Wu Changqing currently has no time to rectify the officialdom, and it is not suitable for rectification at this stage.

The rectification of officialdom just after the founding of the People's Republic of China can easily give people a feeling of crossing the river and demolishing bridges. Wu Changqing did not want to cause panic among officials.

Let the bullets fly for a while, so that the corrupt officials will take a while.

He always asked the Intelligence Department to collect evidence silently, and then find a suitable time to clean it up later.

Those who know the bidding standards will naturally make the plan very beautiful and very targeted.

However, the winning bidder was not the businessman who gave bribes, but another one.

Zhou Yuncheng, Zhou's family in northern Jiangsu, used to be in the salt business.

Now that the salt industry is basically monopolized by Nanjing, his business has been greatly affected and suffered heavy losses.

He used to be able to fight against the government of Ming Dynasty, but now he dare not fight against Dahua. Dahua controls the people and is much stronger than Da Ming.

In desperation, he can only find other jobs to change the dilemma.

Zhou Yuncheng is very optimistic about the MSG industry.

At the same time, he is extremely savvy, and he can tell at a glance that this MSG is a luxury product, just like perfume, only a few people can afford it.

He has found the right position, and his financial resources are even stronger.

Ever since, he won the bid.

In his bidding plan, he promised that one hundred tons of MSG would be refined in one year, and he would pay more than one million taels of tax for the court.

The bribery guy only promised in his bid to refine 20 tons a year and pay about 400,000 taels of tax for the court.

In contrast, Zhou Yuncheng's advantage is too great.

The guy from the Ministry of Commerce who accepted the bribe didn't dare to blatantly give this item to the other party.

After all, such bidding meetings need to be recorded and finally submitted to Hong Chengchou for review.

If he didn't give this project to Zhou Yuncheng, Hong Chengchou could see the problem at a glance, and it would be troublesome for him to investigate it.

Moreover, the little money he received was only responsible for leaking the bid winning criteria, and did not guarantee that the other party would win the bid.

"Congratulations, boss Zhou, this time I'm going to make a fortune."

"Congratulations, boss Zhou, you can contact me if you need cooperation. I have a group of fishermen who are good at fishing kelp."

Among the many congratulations, there is no shortage of partners seeking cooperation.

If you can't make a lot of money, it's okay to make some lucky money.

"Thank you, everyone, this is not necessary. Zhou also has a group of coolies who specialize in living at sea."

Zhou Yuncheng smiled.
