Privately, Old Su often said that Little Sweet was blessed by heaven, finding such good people.
The farm and the processing plant were not far apart, so Old Su and his group visited frequently and chatted with the young people in the plant.
Those young people said that Su Xiaotian had given them a platform to showcase their talents and a bright future.
Each of them expressed their deep gratitude to Su Xiaotian for her arrangements.
Old Su was unaware that although Su Xiaotian did not visit often, she was quite informed about the factory's situation.
She had many informants around the factory, though no one knew it.
No one noticed that every time Su Xiaotian visited, she would have a brief chat with the surrounding trees.
To Su Xiaotian, these tall trees were more trustworthy.
In this world, the most unpredictable thing is the human heart.
However, Su Xiaotian did not use these trees to monitor people, but only those she suspected.
Moreover, Su Xiaotian believed that in this world, there was no eternal friendship, only eternal interests.
The people in the factory were mostly recruited from her university students, educated youths returning to their hometowns, and high school students who had not been admitted to college.
In reality, these people had no loyalty to her.
They were only useful to her because of the good treatment.
The young university students who were willing to give up their stable jobs in the system to work for a private enterprise, weren't they all aiming to establish themselves in the capital as soon as possible?
She had tied these people to the factory's large ship, forming a community of interest, making them understand that their development was closely linked to the factory's.
Protecting the factory's interests was protecting their own.
Of course, on the whole, these people had good character.
As of now, they had not done anything to harm the factory's interests.
However, if someone were to offer a higher price or more favorable conditions in the future, some might switch jobs.
Personnel turnover was not terrifying; what worried Su Xiaotian was that core personnel might take away the factory's core secrets when they left.
In food processing, as long as it was profitable, other enterprises would quickly follow suit.
When their taste could not compete, and for more sustained development, it was not impossible for some to resort to insidious methods.
In fact, in the past six months, several food processing enterprises had appeared around the capital.
The bosses of these enterprises seemed to lack much independent thought; basically, they did whatever her factory did.
However, they could not compete in taste and were also far behind in technology, so her factory still held the advantage.
It was rumored that several factories were already trying to poach employees from behind the scenes, and they had identified specific targets.
However, these targets had not yet agreed.
Su Xiaotian believed that as long as the benefits were sufficient, it was only a matter of time before the target individuals agreed.
But Su Xiaotian had never worried about this.
Her factory's production lines were the most advanced, and their sealing and preservation capabilities were also the strongest.
This provided absolute assurance of food safety.
This was something that these follower factories could not match.
Let alone domestic production lines, even Western production lines, Su Xiaotian firmly believed, could not compare to the system's upgradeable production lines.
Not to mention the exquisite seasonings she possessed.
Yes, Su Xiaotian's true trump card was her seasonings.
All the seasonings used in the factory were exchanged for points by Su Xiaotian in the system mall.
Not only were the ingredients complete, but their quality was also much higher than ordinary seasonings.
This alone was something other factories could not catch up to.
Su Xiaotian had never thought of resting on her laurels. She also knew clearly that for a food processing enterprise to develop, while production lines were important, taste and food safety were even more crucial.
Only by achieving these two points could a food processing factory have long-term development.
And the core of all this was reassuring raw materials.
Currently, the seasoning packets used in the factory were all provided by Su Xiaotian. The few flavors were all Su Xiaotian's exclusive secrets.
Su Xiaotian believed that even if someone tried to replicate them, it would not be easy.
After all, what she provided were ground seasonings.
Unless someone was exceptionally gifted, it would be possible to identify all the types and quantities of seasonings by taste alone.
But Su Xiaotian did not intend to defeat all competitors solely on this basis.
A factory could only achieve a virtuous cycle and better development if its internal motivation was stimulated.
Su Xiaotian did not intend to rely on the system for a long time.
As soon as the factory was established, she had already set up a research and development department.
She had to cultivate her own factory's talent pool, and R&D personnel were the most important among them.
At the beginning of the R&D department's establishment, almost everyone felt that this department was unnecessary.
The factory had several very good flavors, which, through experimentation, were very popular with the public and well-liked.
As the saying goes, a unique skill can lead to success everywhere; why bother developing new flavors?
Besides, R&D was simply a money pit.
A few young people spent their days idly in the so-called laboratory, and no one knew what they were doing, except that they were wasting raw materials.
Some people had suggested to Su Xiaotian whether these few individuals should be sent to the workshop to create value.
The reasons were compelling: the R&D department not only failed to bring profits to the factory but also cost money, making it unprofitable.
Su Xiaotian rejected this.
It was not easy for Su Xiaotian to poach these young people from the university.
She had visited many talented individuals to find those who met her requirements and were willing to join her in entrepreneurship.
She also believed that as long as they were given a platform, these young people would surely create value.
One day, when Su Xiaotian arrived, she happened to see a few young people holding freshly made chicken wings and gizzards.
Upon seeing Su Xiaotian, the research team members immediately gathered around.
"Boss, this is a new flavor we've developed. Please try it."
"We developed several formulas before, but we always felt something was missing. This time, we finally succeeded, and we are very satisfied ourselves."
Fang Xin'an, the head of the research team, said excitedly to Su Xiaotian.
Su Xiaotian was very happy to hear this good news. She picked up a clean pair of chopsticks, took a piece of chicken wing, and put it in her mouth.
It had to be said that the spicy flavor was full and rich, much tastier than some spicy chicken wings she had eaten in her later life.
