Spring Thunder Chapter 0184 The Tiger Out of the Cage
"Hello, Mr. Li, I am Nan Yi from Shenguofa."
"Mr. Nan, please take a seat."
Li Wenfeng waited for Nan Yi to sit down, then asked, "Do you know why I agreed to meet you so quickly?"
“Because of Coca-Cola.”
Li Wenfeng smiled and said, "Your answer is too general. The relationship between Pepsi and Coca-Cola is well known to everyone."
"Since Mr. Li thinks what I said is too general, I will explain my humble opinion in detail. After Coca-Cola built a factory in the mainland, it could only be sold in foreign-related hotels and stores at the beginning. Except for the initial good sales due to consumers' novelty, the sales were just mediocre afterwards.
Because mainlanders don’t like the cough syrup-like taste of Coca-Cola.
After the mainland lifted restrictions on Coca-Cola sales, it developed rapidly. The mainland has been closed off for many years and a little out of touch with the world, so outdated promotion methods outside are very useful in the mainland.
Every weekend, Coca-Cola employees would hold colorful balloons with the Coca-Cola logo on them and promote the product in major shopping malls in Beijing. If you bought a bottle of Coca-Cola for 50 cents, you would get a balloon or a pair of packaged chopsticks for free. Crowds of people would flock to the mall.
Coca-Cola was the first to engage in store marketing in the mainland.
This is the situation of Coca-Cola in Beijing. In Guangzhou, some young people who love fashion cut the Coca-Cola logo on the tin can packaging and stick it on the front handlebars or rear wheel guards of their bicycles, making it look like a Coca-Cola brand bicycle.
I don't need to explain what this means. I believe Mr. Li should be very clear that the brand image of Coca-Cola has been slowly being established, and the image of Coca-Cola = Coke is being established.
If Pepsi-Cola does not enter the mainland now, the vast market of the mainland will have nothing to do with you, Pepsi. In the future, it will all be the world of Coca-Cola.
Mr. Li, I am a person of low opinion and do not have any decision-making power.
Otherwise, I will not come to negotiate with you with preferential policies, but with leverage. We invite Pepsi to invest in Shenzhen, but not only will you not get any preferential treatment, but we will also charge you tens of millions of dollars in entry license fees. "
Li Wenfeng nodded. "I agree with your remarks about the mainland market. In fact, we at Pepsi are also preparing to enter the mainland market. But why do you think that we at Pepsi must invest in Shenzhen instead of other cities?"
"Two points. First, the negotiations between Coca-Cola and Shencun were not pleasant, and they should withdraw immediately. Second, Shencun is the only country that dares to let you sell Pepsi-Cola freely."
"How old are you, Mr. Nan?"
"It's exactly twenty this year."
"You are very young. Have you studied abroad?"
"No, I interned at Shenzhen International Development Bank before I graduated from Peking University. After graduation, it was natural for me to work at Shenzhen International Development Bank." Nan Yi answered every question.
"Oh, I'm a cycling enthusiast. Would you like to make an appointment so that we can ride to Shencun together the day after tomorrow?"
"I'll be happy to accompany you."
"Okay, let's meet at the entrance of the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel in Victoria Harbour at 8am the day after tomorrow."
"good."
It is inevitable for Pepsi to enter the mainland. It is accidental that it has not entered yet because Pepsi wants to get more favorable conditions. But what Nan Yi said just now, not only will he not give preferential treatment, but he will also blackmail him, which will make Li Wenfeng hesitate, and this will greatly speed up Pepsi's investment.
After Nan Yi returned to the office and confirmed that Cen Yangtai was already in his office, he immediately drafted an analysis report on "The necessity of PepsiCo's entry into the domestic market."
After writing and checking it, he took the report into Cen Yangtai's office.
"Xiaonan, do you want to submit this report? " Cen Yangtai asked after reading the report.
"It wasn't me who handed it up, it was you. This report wasn't written by me, it was you. Uncle Cen, I'm ready to go."
"So soon? I thought you could stay until at least the end of the year."
“I have already visited all those who can go to Shenzhen. The rest either have no intention to invest in the mainland in the short term or are out of my reach. There is not much point in me staying here any longer.
In addition..." Nan Yi took out a current savings passbook from his pocket, "This is what you gave me last time. I have not touched the money in it. I am going to be a deserter. I am too embarrassed to accept this reward. I will just leave it here as office expenses."
"You deserve the money, you can keep it."
"Forget it, I don't want it. I will write a statement of voluntarily giving up the reward. Uncle Cen, you just need to give me a receipt. I will hand in the resignation report when I return from Shenzhen. I don't know how long the procedure will take."
"It will take some time. Once I approve it, I will submit it to the head office. Once the head office approves it, it will be submitted to the bureau for approval. You are also a registered person in the bureau, so your superiors will definitely talk to ."
"Um."
"What are you going to do after you leave?"
"My grandmother owned a tea restaurant, but she is old and can no longer work, so I took over her business and ran the restaurant."
"That's a pity. With your ability, you can find a job in a big company in Hong Kong and earn several thousand Hong Kong dollars a month. And you will definitely get promoted quickly."
"Haha, it's better to work for yourself and there's no one to supervise you. If I want to earn more, I'll work harder. If I don't want to earn more, I can just work half a day and rest half a day."
Nan Yi and Cen Yangtai chatted for a while, but Cen Yangtai did not try to keep him because he knew that Nan Yi would leave sooner or later and there was no point in trying to keep him.
What's more, there has been a trend of "taking unpaid leave" in the country. At the end of last year, many people took unpaid leave from their jobs and started their own businesses.
From top to bottom, all enterprises and institutions are overstaffed, and "reducing weight" is also a major issue for all units in the future.
After talking with Cen Yangtai, Nan Yi left work directly. There was nothing good to sit in the office, so instead of working in the office, he might as well go to the tea restaurant downstairs to sit down.
"Mao Dunchang, lemon coffee, coffee to go; and a pineapple bun with extra butter."
"Dalunan, it's very comfortable. Come down and sit at this time."
There were faint bruises on Mao Dunchang's face, probably because he was beaten again not long ago.
After his credit was ruined and no one dared to lend him money, Mao Dunchang had no choice but to go to the financial company, borrowing, getting beaten, paying back, borrowing again, getting beaten again... He had fallen into a vicious circle.
"How about it? Have you been to the sea these days?"
"What's the point of crossing the sea? There are many places in Xiangkeng. You can gamble on anything you want. Not to mention the common ones, there are underground boxing matches, cockfighting, centipede fighting, and so on. You can find anything you can't think of.
If you go to Kowloon Walled City, there are even more good things there. How about going with me to see it? I will definitely open your eyes."
"I'd better forget it. I don't have money. You should go less often, so that you don't end up with bruises and bruises three hundred days out of the three hundred and sixty-five days in a year."
"Monster, if you don't want to go, then don't go. You're wasting my saliva."
Mao Dunchang spat and left to place an order for Nan Yi.
This bastard must be working as a solicitor for some brothel. He brings the fat sheep to the brothel to be slaughtered and gets kickbacks.
This kind of activity has been enduring and has continued to thrive in later generations, but the name has changed. In later generations, the formal and veiled one is called "public relations", and the more targeted one is called "fishing".
This is what people who do things secretly are called, and the people who do business openly with the door open are called "Stackers".
Nan Yi originally had a business partner named Qian, who had much more assets than Nan Yi. They just liked to play mahjong, and it was okay if he won or lost. When he was unlucky, he would lose dozens or hundreds of dollars, but for him, it would not hurt at all.
Lao Qian doesn't play with others, but only with a few friends in the business circle. They win and lose, and money goes back and forth. In fact, he doesn't lose much in a year. It's not as much as the money he spends on going to entertainment venues with his friends after a game of mahjong.
Lao Qian was a very face-conscious person. Once, he was arrested for gambling, and he realized that gambling was illegal in the mainland.
He thought, well, since it is illegal in the mainland, he might as well go somewhere else where it is not illegal.
Just like that, he ran to Macau and became the "Money Master" in the eyes of the stackers. Tell me, when this legal stacker met a legal fat sheep, how could he not be diligent and serve him well?
However, Lao Qian only served as Mr. Qian for three months.
In three months, Lao Qian lost all his assets of over 1 billion yuan, and still owed the "hall owner", that is, the superior of the code-stacker, several hundred million yuan. His former business partners outside, including payments for goods and money borrowed with unbearable excuses, owed him several hundred million yuan in total.
In this way, Mr. Qian became old money, and the former guests of honor became prisoners. They were locked up, beaten from time to time, and forced to tell where they had assets to pay off their debts.
Later, Nan Yi had no idea whether Lao Qian was dead or not. He only knew that Lao Qian went bankrupt because of the money he owed him for the goods.
As for borrowing money, that was impossible. After knowing that Lao Qian had been to Macau three times, Nan Yi directly turned hostile and started asking for payment for the goods, and he hasn't asked for all the money yet.
Whether in his previous life or now, Nan Yi hates gambling. In his previous life, he would not deal with gamblers, but now he wants to get close to Mao Dunchang.
Who makes gamblers look cheap in their eyes except for the gambling table, including money. Once they are stuck in the quagmire, money is just straw paper to gamblers, and has no other meaning except exchanging chips.
The gambler was so anxious that he didn't care if he sold his assets originally worth 1 billion at a discount of 100 or 200 million.
Nan Yi wants to take advantage of this bargain.
Very much!
While drinking the lemon coffee brought by Mao Dunchang, Nan Yi's eyes followed his figure.
After a year of getting to know Mao Dunchang, Nan Yi had a pretty good idea of his character.
Greedy, fond of gambling, timid, and lustful, this person possesses so many qualities. This is the Zhuge Liang that Nan Yi has been looking for for a long time.
"Should we go to the thatched cottage three times or beat the White Bone Demon three times to make him submit first?"
Nan Yi looked at Mao Dunchang's back for a long time, then retracted her gaze and began to look at the entire tea restaurant, her grandmother's tea restaurant.
After eating the pineapple bun and drinking the last drop of lemon coffee, Nan Yi left and got into his car.
As soon as I got in the car, I started making phone calls.
"Huiwen, two things. First, register a Ruoyin catering company under the banner of Creativity Real Estate. Second, poach a middle-level manager from McDonald's real estate management department, and then poach a few people who work in brand management and store managers. The latter two should be from both McDonald's and KFC."
“Where do I register?”
"Right here in Xiangkeng, Creativity Real Estate entered the catering industry. You took over the company first and kicked out all the original people."
Nan Yi has never been in charge of Creativity Real Estate since its establishment. The original staff were recruited by Fang Mengyin, who temporarily set up the company's structure.
After receiving salary without doing any work for so long, some of them have become idle and need to be kicked out.
"By the way, Ruoyin Catering gave Ruoyin 0.5% of the shares personally, and Li Lamei was designated to hold these shares on his behalf. Ruoyin will then exercise the rights after he reaches adulthood.
In addition, an offshore company was registered, and the owner of the company is still Ruo Yin. The company holds 4.5% of the shares of Ruo Yin Catering. It will be filed first and will not be made public for the time being. "
"clear."
"that's all."
"You and I are both mortals, born in this world, busy all day long, without a moment's rest. Since you are not an immortal, it is inevitable that you have distracting thoughts. Put morality on the sides and put profit in the middle..." After hanging up the phone, Nan Yi began to hum a song.
"Li Lamei, the profit is falling on your head, are you going to catch it or not?"
