Thoughts were certainly there, even though Yu Zhou clearly understood that the other party must have a head full of ideas.
However, whether these ideas could truly be realized, or were merely wishful thinking, Yu Zhou was not yet clear at this point.
After all, many situations might seem to have become reality in your mind, but when it comes to actual research and development, it remains an extremely difficult thing to implement.
Yu Zhou knew that being a product manager was not easy, and he also understood that progress was made through repeated practice and experimentation.
But at this moment, he still wanted to hear the other party's thoughts, even if it was just a concept, it could allow him to assess whether Tang Yan had potential.
Even if she didn't have much potential, Yu Zhou wouldn't be overly disheartened and would still do what he could.
However, whether he would continue to consider her as his primary development target was something worth considering.
After a period of contemplation, Tang Yan seemed to understand Yu Zhou's thoughts. She thought carefully and then said seriously, "In my opinion, AD Calcium Milk can also be made into a beverage."
"Even the taste doesn't need to be changed significantly; instead, the packaging can be altered, and it can be made slightly thicker and more sour."
"This way, it can be designed as a daily beverage, and I believe major supermarkets will buy into it."
She spoke with such certainty that even Yu Zhou's thoughts began to stir.
Did such a design really have no potential?
In fact, his heart was already astonished; not only did it have potential, it could even be said to have immense potential.
However, how Tang Yan came up with this idea left him somewhat perplexed.
After all, many things that seem difficult to accomplish are not impossible.
The product she mentioned was not precisely the fermented milk beverage that became popular in later generations?
Did this type of beverage really have no potential? It was a joke; to put it bluntly, the beverage industry tycoon of later generations, Haha Wa, truly rose to prominence from this very area.
Wasn't the so-called "Nutritional Express" how it gradually became popular and then completely took the market by storm?
"You mean, using reconstituted milk to create a yogurt-like beverage?"
In his heart, he had already completely recognized her potential. Having ideas was not something too surprising.
But to have ideas and at the same time cater to everyone's taste was an extremely difficult task, something even Yu Zhou found hard to achieve.
At this stage, coming up with a new product was not that difficult.
However, if one could come up with something comparable to or even more popular than those in later generations, who wouldn't be tempted by such an achievement?
Could Yu Zhou not think of it? Of course, he could. In fact, "Nutritional Express" had always been the best strategic target for the beverage industry that he could think of.
After all, in those years, whether it was soda or other beverages, they had already fully developed within Longxia. Even fruit juices were the same.
Moreover, the country had not yet developed to the point where people began to have health consciousness.
Therefore, dairy beverages were a barren land.
And on this barren land, Yu Zhou had already developed a product, which was AD Calcium Milk. If he hadn't intended to create "Nutritional Express," why would he have chosen AD Calcium Milk, a dairy product, in the first place?
It's important to know that while others might not understand, Yu Zhou himself was very clear that dairy products would eventually face a huge pitfall.
Under that pitfall, the milk powder industry was wiped out, otherwise, there wouldn't be dairy giants in later generations.
Yu Zhou didn't want to become a dairy giant, but this was definitely a golden opportunity for the [Three Horses] company.
It was an opportunity to truly make the company bigger and stronger.
Otherwise, by only focusing on subsidiary foods, i.e., snacks, the company, no matter how strong, would be like walking on one leg.
"Your vision has truly impressed me."
"However, this is not enough. I plan to send you for further study for a period of one year. During this year, you don't need to do anything else; just study diligently."
"Afterwards, you will come back to me and work as a product manager. Of course, if your abilities are insufficient then, don't blame me for not giving you the opportunity."
"As for the study expenses, the company will bear all of them."
Yu Zhou did not continue to reminisce with Tang Yan; instead, he directly stated his arrangements for her.
Perhaps many things were not entirely certain with him, but sending someone for further study and then having them work for him was something he handled very smoothly.
As a result, even Tang Yan was a bit stunned at this moment.
She had originally thought that she would have to continue learning in the company or even do some strenuous and tiring work.
She never expected that Yu Zhou would directly send her to learn new skills.
Was this really a good thing that could happen to her?
It wasn't that Tang Yan thought something was wrong, but rather, she had never even dared to imagine such a thing before.
"I... I!"
The excited Tang Yan was so overwhelmed that she didn't know what to say at this moment.
Seeing Yu Zhou's genuine smile, she knew that this matter was truly hers.
Moreover, her friend was truly making every effort to cultivate her.
Under such circumstances, even if something were to happen to her, she could accept it, right?
Although Tang Yan knew that Yu Zhou, as a businessman, would absolutely not engage in a losing business.
However, at this moment, she was still deeply moved.
To be able to meet someone who could treat her sincerely, and without any other unspoken intentions, was indeed a rare thing for a beautiful woman.
Yu Zhou at least didn't show too much interest in her and was willing to give her an opportunity.
This was something she had longed for for years but had never obtained.
As a result, Tang Yan began to silently vow in her heart that no matter what happened in the future, she would never leave this company, nor would she betray Yu Zhou for any personal gain.
Of course, this was just her current thought; whether she would still have the same thoughts later on was something no one could say for sure.
After all, people's thoughts do change.
