Boss Zhou of Hao Zai Lai found Zhang Tian Xing again.
"Brother Zhang, tell me honestly, how do you plan to break through the deadlock with crayfish?"
"Break through what deadlock? My crayfish will be sold as usual. Sales have only dropped a little now."
Zhang Tian Xing was not bothered by the sales decline of the past two days. If it was popular every day, he would be exhausted. It was precisely because of these past two days that Zhang Tian Xing saw many things clearly.
In short, he had taken too big a stride before and overextended himself. Although Zhang Tian Xing's business was not significantly affected, the sales of crayfish in other restaurants plummeted.
However, Zhang Tian Xing was confident that crayfish had no problem. As foodies, Chinese people could not resist the deliciousness of crayfish.
But the visit from Boss Zhou of Hao Zai Lai also made Zhang Tian Xing's mind stir. Why not establish a Crayfish Association at this time and also set industry standards for crayfish?
If a Crayfish Association could be established, the future development of crayfish would be much easier.
However, having experienced various schemes in his past life, Zhang Tian Xing understood a truth: when you are in the ascendancy, everything is not real; when you are down and out, what you see and hear is the reality.
Zhang Tian Xing thought for a moment, "Brother Zhou, how about this, I want to establish a Crayfish Association to set standards for the crayfish industry. That way, the crayfish poisoning incidents won't happen again."
Zhou Fuqing nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, "Yes, if there are clear rules, such big messes wouldn't happen. And Wang Pangzi is truly detestable. To reduce costs, he actually used those polluted crayfish."
Zhang Tian Xing said in a deep voice, "Most of the crayfish now are wild. The quality of wild crayfish cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, our next step is to artificially breed crayfish, so that the quality of crayfish will be guaranteed."
Hearing Zhang Tian Xing's words, Zhou Fuqing was moved. This was the gap. He was still worried, and this person was already talking about artificial breeding of crayfish.
What kind of vision was this? It could be seen that Zhang Tian Xing was full of confidence in the future of crayfish.
However, Zhou Fuqing was skeptical. Would such a situation appear?
Artificial breeding, and also ensuring quality and quantity. If it could be done, that would be great.
But now that Zhang Tian Xing was the leader in the crayfish industry, it seemed not impossible to establish an association.
The more Zhou Fuqing thought about it, the more feasible the plan to establish an association seemed.
However, it was better to clarify things in advance. "Brother Zhang, what is the purpose of establishing this association?"
"It's mainly about the crayfish industry, for example, the brand effect of crayfish. We will register trademarks in the near future, as well as methods of preparing and breeding crayfish," Zhang Tian Xing explained slowly.
Good heavens, Zhou Fuqing exclaimed "Good heavens." Branding and scale, wasn't this capturing the entire upstream and downstream industry of crayfish?
If it could be done, the future of crayfish would be very promising.
Zhou Fuqing thought for a moment, "What are the requirements to join the association?"
Oh my, it seemed that Boss Zhou was interested in joining the association. "Here's the deal. For the first batch, as long as one is engaged in an industry related to crayfish, there are no other requirements."
"Brother Zhang, count me in. I'll go and contact some other people. Many people are interested in this crayfish."
Zhou Fuqing hurried out. This was big news. It was no wonder Zhou Fuqing was in a hurry, mainly because crayfish were too delicious. He believed that the market for such delicious crayfish would definitely not be small. He believed that this incident would pass quickly, and the future of crayfish would be very promising.
When Wen Qing returned home, she unexpectedly found someone. Comrade Fang Youliang was at home, which surprised Wen Qing.
Fang Youliang saw Wen Qing and smiled, "Jingjing is back. Dad has some good news for you today that you'll definitely be interested in."
"What is it? Did you get promoted, or did Mom get promoted?"
"Tsk, Dad knows you're not interested in these things. This is something you're interested in."
Wen Qing blurted out, "It's about crayfish."
After saying that, she blushed deeply. Fortunately, it was night, and Fang Youliang didn't notice.
"Yes, you could say it's related to crayfish. The Ministry of Agriculture is asking for a batch of green foods to be reported. I think your crayfish can also be reported."
Wen Qing's eyes lit up upon hearing Fang Youliang's words. The charm of crayfish was here. If it could conquer the appetite of the Ministry of Agriculture.
Then crayfish would truly go out of Zhonghai and face the whole country.
"Dad, you're so thoughtful. Thank you!"
Wen Qing had such confidence in crayfish and eagerly awaited tomorrow. She couldn't wait to tell Zhang Tian Xing the good news.
Wen Qing had never longed for tomorrow to come so much.
The night passed uneventfully. Wen Qing rushed out eagerly, ready to share the good news with Zhang Tian Xing.
Wen Qing arrived at the lobster restaurant, and Zhang Tian Xing was indeed there.
"Tian Xing, I have some good news for you, you'll definitely be happy."
Seeing the girl so happy, Zhang Tian Xing's heart stirred. "What good thing is it that makes you so happy?"
"The Ministry of Agriculture has a green food selection activity, and our crayfish can compete. If it's rated as a green product, then it will have the endorsement of the Ministry of Agriculture. We won't have to worry about sales anymore."
Hearing this news, Zhang Tian Xing was very excited. If that were the case, it would be wonderful. The current decline in crayfish sales was due to quality issues. With green food, let alone domestically, Zhang Tian Xing would dare to venture abroad.
This matter had great potential, mainly due to the environment of Yangcheng. There was hardly any industry here, and it was all agricultural.
Therefore, the environment was not polluted. The wild crayfish here could be considered the best among crayfish. If artificial breeding were added.
The quality of crayfish would only go up a notch, better than the current quality.
The immediate priority was to submit the list and send samples.
However, there were ready materials here. Fortunately, Zhang Tian Xing had already completed the relevant procedures a few days ago. Zhang Tian Xing excitedly headed towards the Agricultural Bureau.
He was ready to register for green food and try his luck.
The staff in the office of the Agricultural Bureau saw Zhang Tian Xing come to register for green food. Upon hearing his purpose, the staff member looked a bit troubled.
"Comrade, this is crayfish. Are you sure you want to register for green food?"
Zhang Tian Xing nodded, "I'm sure. I'm here to participate in the green food selection."
"I need to report this. I can't make the decision. In the future, when we report to higher authorities, it's all food products, mostly agricultural crops. I don't know if your crayfish can be reported."
Hey, there was an underlying meaning in his words. Zhang Tian Xing, in a friendly manner, offered a cigarette, "Crayfish are also food, why can't they be reported?"
"Boss, whether it can be reported is not up to me. But I must say, crayfish taste amazing. However, the crayfish poisoning incident just happened a few days ago, right in our county. So, about reporting crayfish as green food, you understand."
