Volume 3 Summer Rain Chapter 0314: Standing on the Windward Side
"Did you also know these two people when you were a gangster?" Liu Zhen asked as they walked out of Tianfu Restaurant.
"I guess so, but I've never been a troublemaker."
"Humph, you're still saying no. We already have the bandit number of Nan Batian, but where's your subordinate Lao Si?"
"F*ck Lao Si, they are using the name of Nan Ba Tian to slander me."
Nan Batian, the villain in "The Red Detachment of Women", can it be out of good intentions to give Nan Yi such a name?
"I think this name is good. I will call you Nan Batian from now on."
"As you wish."
"Nan Batian, hehehe. If the love is true, there is no need to regret that we met too late. Once you meet once, there will be no regrets..." Liu Zhen smiled and hummed a song.
After the song, the two smiled at each other.
After nightfall, Nan Yi seemed to have returned to Wenchangwei, carrying a basket and going to the threshing ground to pay the public grain.
The public grain tax has to be paid. There is no way to avoid it.
After waiting for two days, there was still no news from Monkey about Nanguang 010, so Nan Yi didn't wait any longer. He had to go back to Wenchangwei first, as some things had already come to the point where it was time to take action.
As soon as he returned to Wenchangwei, Nan Yi went to Wenchang Food Factory accompanied by Xian Yaodong and Xian Yaohua.
When Nan Yi returned to Wenchangwei at the end of last year, he told the two of them that the village could have a soda production line. He didn't say it very formally, just as if it was a casual remark.
But Xian Yaohua took the advice to heart and quickly set up a soda production line. In the summer, he started selling Wenchang orange soda.
"Nan Yi, our soda is not selling well. There are two major colas in the city, and Asia Soda. From the start of production to now, we have only sold about 5,000 bottles in total, and now the production lines are basically stopped." Xian Yaodong said as he entered the soda production workshop of the food factory.
"Um."
Nan Yi just nodded, his eyes fixed on the machines on the assembly line. After looking around, he still couldn't figure out what they were. He didn't understand these machines at all.
“Is this machine useful?”
"It is very useful. We bought the most advanced product from abroad, but it is useless."
"As long as it works, Uncle Yaohua, I asked you to get along well with Li Wenfu, did you do it?"
Xian Yaohua nodded, "I get along well with him. I often take him to play nearby. He likes to go to the mountains, so I always go with him."
"That's good." Nan Yi straightened his face and said seriously: "Three things, first, register a brand, called Rise up in English and Xiongqi in Chinese, and design two trademarks, one for foreign countries, highlighting English but also Chinese, and one for domestic use, highlighting Chinese.
Find a famous designer and don’t save money, as a trademark may be used for a lifetime.
After the design is completed, go and register it immediately. Except for Africa and South America, registration is required in several major countries.
Second, find a beverage formula suitable for athletes to restore their physical strength. It is not difficult to find. People both at home and abroad are doing this. Pick the best one and buy it. Remember, you must also buy the right to authorship. We say whoever invented this formula, then it belongs to whoever invented it.
Third, after the first two things are done, we will immediately contact the women's volleyball team and sponsor them 500,000 yuan. 100,000 yuan of this money must go to the players, and we have no control over where the rest of the money goes.
This is the case in China. There are also other countries abroad. Unlike us, countries like England and Germany do not have the concept of a national team. The athletes participating in the Olympics are actually more of an individual behavior.
I want to get sponsorship for the strong sports and excellent athletes of these two countries, as long as they have the chance to win medals. I want the seeded athletes of these two countries in the Los Angeles Olympics next July to get as many of our Xiongqi drinks as possible.
We don’t need to put it on the production line first. After the formula is ready, we will ask Li Wenfu to can a batch of it on Pepsi’s production line in mid-June next year. It will be enough to supply the athletes. We can worry about sales after Xiongqi becomes popular.”
Nan Yi pursed his lips and continued, "Slogan, in Chinese - China rises, Olympics rises, the world rises! In English - Human Rise Up! I know you can't understand English, so I'll write it for you."
"Nan Yi, this investment is not small. Can it be done?" Xian Yaodong said worriedly.
Nan Yi said with a half-smile: "This deal can be counted as mine alone."
"We must do it." Xian Yaodong clapped his hands when he heard Nan Yi say that.
How could Xian Yaodong not understand the meaning of Nan Yi's words?
"We need to act quickly and select two people to be in charge of negotiating the sponsorship. Someone will work with them and serve as their translator. By the way, these people will be considered employees of the Wenchang Food Factory, and the factory will pay them wages in the future. As our business grows, we can no longer just use people from the village. We need to recruit talents from outside.
There is currently no place for us among domestic college students, but we can recruit those from Hong Kong or abroad.
Ten years later, all middle and senior management of our Wenchangwei enterprises must have a college diploma or above, including the people in the village committee. Those who don’t have a diploma must study and take the exam.”
"This... Nan Yi, we are not young anymore, we can't learn anymore. "
"Uncle Yaohua, don't make excuses for yourself. Weimin is in Tokyo attending classes at the University of Tokyo. The University of Tokyo is the top university in Asia, and all the students there are the best of the best. Although he is an auditor, he can still keep up. Just imagine how much hardship he must have endured?"
The period of wild development will soon be over, and the first-mover advantage will not last long. In the future, what will matter is the in-depth cultivation of the industry and professional technology. Sooner or later, illiterate entrepreneurs will be eliminated.
The people in the village committee will have to shoulder the responsibilities for at least another ten years. Among those born in the 1960s in Wenchangwei, few are educated and cannot shoulder the responsibilities at all. They have to wait until those born in the 1970s graduate from university and train for more than five years before they are qualified to slowly take over the baton of power.
"Okay, okay, let's learn it." Xian Yaodong said, "Nan Yi, since the village is going to start hiring people from other families, why not let Ayu get involved? Although she is not well educated, she is very capable. She can be a team leader in the factory and manage a few people without any problems."
"Uncle Xian, if you say there is no problem, then there must be no problem. I think this way, she will be the only one who goes out to discuss sponsorship this time. She can go out and see the world, and it will be easier to make arrangements when she comes back." Nan Yi said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, this is a good arrangement." Xian Yaodong's old face turned red and he looked very happy.
"Then let's put it this way. Let's get moving, Uncle Yaohua. Weimin asked me to bring you something. It's at my house. Come with me to get it."
Xian Yaohua followed Nan Yi to Nan's residence. As soon as he entered the yard, he couldn't help but say, "Nan Yi, are you really letting Zhang Yu squeeze in? You don't know if you haven't been in the village. This woman has extraordinary means. Now she has Yaodong completely under her control."
"Pan Junan, male, 27 years old, a top student who graduated from Hong Kong Chinese University. He is very handsome and capable. His only shortcoming is that he is very popular with girls. He is the translator I arranged for, and he is also one of the candidates who will join the food factory in the future."
"Official bones?"
"Oh, you can tell from the name. He is more handsome than Pan An. He is the most handsome among handsome men. He is even sharper than the one who plays Ouyang Ke."
"Ouyang Ke?" Xian Yaohua asked in confusion.
"Uncle Yaohua, didn't you watch The Legend of the Condor Heroes? Can't we receive wireless radio in the village?"
"I don't have time to read, but I did listen to a few words. Nan Yi, what do you mean?"
"Whether Zhang Yu just wants to control Uncle Xian or wants to get into the village committee, I don't know because I haven't had much contact with her. No matter how big her ambition is or how deep her mind is, women have always loved to be coquettish.
Women will like handsome guys, not to mention Pan Junan is a very capable person, and he is not from the same family. There are not many people that Zhang Yu can win over. If she doesn't seize the opportunity when such a person appears in front of her, then her harm is limited.
Uncle Yaodong, I'm afraid she won't be watching outside, but will be watching the people in the village committee. If she talks behind the scenes, you better watch your pants. If Zhang Yu makes any move, I'll let you know immediately."
"No way, everyone hasn't even reached the fifth level yet."
"What's the fifth mourning period? There aren't many cases of adultery. Isn't Zhang Yu pretty?"
"pretty."
"He is so bold, we must guard against him." Nan Yi sighed, and then said, "For the next three months, pay attention to the hygiene of the village and keep everyone calm. A big shot will come to Shencun soon, so don't dance under the gun."
"clear."
"I came back empty-handed. Uncle Yaohua, go to the warehouse and take a look. If you want to take something go pick it out yourself."
"Okay, I'll just go get something to fool you."
Xian Yaohua has to do the whole thing, he can't go back empty-handed, he has to bring something.
After Xian Yaohua left, Nan Yi continued to think about beverages. When he brought Pepsi Cola to Shencun, he put a lot of thought into it. It was not just to attract investment for Shencun.
After the two colas entered the country, Coca-Cola became increasingly popular in central cities, and many small beverage factories popped up all over the country, many of which were named "Coke". There was Tianfu Cola in Wuchuan, Shaolin Cola in Central Plains, and West Lake Cola in Qiantang.
There are more than 2,000 beverage factories of various types across the country, with one in almost every county-level area.
Some of these factories may be prosperous for a while, while some will run into trouble from the beginning. No matter how they perform at the beginning, most of them will go bankrupt or close down as time goes by.
Once this situation occurs, the current Wenchangwei Food Factory and the future Wenchangwei Catering Group will have the opportunity to move beyond Guangdong Province and expand across the country.
Only by entering other regions under the banner of saving factories can we cleverly avoid local protection barriers. Local protectionism is the biggest problem that domestic companies will face in the next few years.
In fact, according to Nan Yi’s original intention, if he wanted to make beverages, he would not do it so early. A better time point would be the 1990s.
But now so many beverage factories have been put into operation, so he has to make Wenchangwei keep up with the pace.
Plans can only meet the needs of the times. Now is the time to make beverages, and Wenchangwei, the pig, must stand at the forefront of the trend.
