In this era, what's the most valuable? Of course, it's talent!
Although Zhang Yang is professional in fishing techniques, he is just a novice when it comes to developing fishing products, lacking systematic study and theoretical foundation. He only benefits from the glow of his rebirth, gaining some knowledge shared by predecessors in the explosive era of online live streaming information.
If he wants to grow the industry bigger and stronger, relying solely on his own scant research ability poses significant challenges. The difficulties encountered when finding bait additives during the experiment of Yellow Face 1.0 have already begun to expose shortcomings in this area.
And what about Yu Dong?
With just the purchased secret black sugar syrup product, he studied and formulated a recipe almost identical in taste to the original. This ability is beyond what ordinary people can achieve, even Zhang Yang himself couldn't.
"No wonder! It's not something ordinary people can achieve, to figure out the taste blend of black sugar syrup in such a short time! You're amazing, man!" Zhang Yang praised him once again.
"With the right direction, finding the ratio is just a matter of time! Compared to what we learned during our studies, these are child's play!" When it comes to technology, Yu Dong becomes even more confident.
"Well, I'm very interested in your research skills! Do you have any thoughts on switching jobs? Or seeking some extra income? My company needs a tech giant like you!"
Seeing that the groundwork was sufficient, Zhang Yang directly extended the olive branch.
"Switching jobs?" Hearing this word on the phone, Yu Dong hesitated.
He's been working at the feed factory for a year and a half, coming here as a technician after his senior internship. The salary isn't high, but the work is relatively easy. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had so much spare time to argue with people on the forum.
However, if you ask Yu Dong whether he is satisfied with his current job, he does have some considerations.
The workshop supervisor is irritable and doesn't show much respect to the subordinates. The monthly salary of fifteen hundred isn't much of a good deal either.
Yu Dong graduated with a focus on aquatic nutrition, researching fish bait is within his professional domain. The feed factory's products are all fixed, with new formulas not adjusted for years.
Yu Dong bears the title of technician, but does odd jobs instead, and he's long thought of quitting. He just hasn't found a better opportunity yet. Zhang Yang's invitation suddenly made him tempted.
If he could work in researching fish bait and fishing additives, even if the salary doesn't change, it is highly appealing to him. This is evident from how he spends his spare time tinkering at home.
Seeing that the other party didn't immediately refuse, Zhang Yang speculated there might be a chance, so he said, "My fishing tackle company was founded last year, you can see it as a startup team!
We are currently at an initial development stage with several mature products! The commercial prospects are absolutely reliable!
If you have any thoughts, I think we can meet and talk!"
"Where in W City are you?" Yu Dong did not hesitate and directly agreed.
"Over in Jianhua Street, Fushan District! If convenient, you can come find me. If not, I can go to meet you!" Zhang Yang was very pleased to see the other party interested in meeting.
"I don't have a car, going to your town is a bit troublesome, why don't you come here? I'll send you an address!"
"Okay! I happen to be free today; send me the address and I'll head over there!"
"Okay!"
...
After sorting things out on the phone, Zhang Yang hung up the call. Within a couple of minutes, a message with the address arrived on Zhang Yang's phone.
The address is in Tingchun District, about thirty kilometers away from Zhang Yang. It should take a little over half an hour by car, which isn't too far.
After getting the address, Zhang Yang immediately got up, and greeted Wang Yan, who was playing with his phone nearby.
"Yan brother, keep an eye on the store for me, I'm heading out to meet someone!"
"What's up? Got some talent for an interview, huh? Need me to go with you?" Wang Yan asked with a grin; Zhang Yang didn't hide the call from him.
"No need, I'll go alone. People might come to grab some bait later; keep an eye on things for me! Follow the price tags, and if unsure, give me a call!"
"Got it, take it easy on the road!"
...
After assigning responsibilities for the store, Zhang Yang went out, got in his van, and drove straight to the destination.
About forty minutes later, Zhang Yang arrived at the apartment complex given by the address. After dialing the number again, a short guy soon came down from the hallway.
Zhang Yang honked the horn, and the person immediately walked over to the van.
"Hey buddy, I'm Zhang Yang! We talked on the phone earlier! Wanna find a place to chat? Is there a tea house nearby?" Zhang Yang asked after getting out of the car and shaking hands with him.
"My name is Yu Dong, no need to bother, just come to my place, I live alone!"
Yu Dong showed no sign of guarding, inviting Zhang Yang to his home on their first meeting.
"Alright then, sorry to trouble you!"
Quickly, Zhang Yang followed Yu Dong upstairs, visiting the abode of this research enthusiast for the first time.
Calling Yu Dong's residence an abode is by no means an exaggeration, the place is littered with cardboard, packaging, experiment records, and other trash.
"I live alone, the place is a bit messy, sit here, I'll get you some water!" Yu Dong kicked aside a few cardboard boxes to make a path, leading Zhang Yang through the corridor to the living room.
From the moment he entered, Zhang Yang started observing the surroundings. Upon reaching the living room, he immediately noticed the five float barrels on the balcony.
