The spacious meeting room, with a bench in the center and a straw-green fluff cloth on top, flanked by portraits of Jesse Owens and Muhammad Ali, among others, and quotes from famous people, are inspiring.

Guo Yongkun and Wang Ziqiang sat at the end of the conference stage, with a briefcase at the foot of one and a box of unopened Jianlibao at the foot of the other.

After a small and a half months of running around, Jianlibao was finally included in the shortlist of beverage sponsors of the Olympic delegation, and today is the first meeting with the leaders of the National Sports Commission.

Naturally, they came early, and such an important matter must not be wrong in time. After waiting for about half an hour, at a quarter past two in the afternoon, there was finally movement outside the door.

The door was pushed open, and a group of almost a dozen people walked in one after another, of different ages, both men and women, Yu Guoqing was among them, and it is estimated that the leaders in charge of this matter have arrived.

It can be seen that the state attaches great importance to this aspect.

This is also the reason why Guo Yongkun only brought the prince over, such a scene, Mazi and others absolutely couldn't stand it.

Wang Ziqiang's kid is different, it is estimated that he was born with a defect, he does not have a gallbladder, and naturally there is no fear.

"Let's get started. ”

The person who was facing Guo Yongkun was a middle-aged man of about fifty, quite familiar, but what was his name, he really couldn't remember it for a while, and he knew that he was a big guy.

"Hedong Jianlibao Soda Factory is said to be a new factory, and I actually admire your courage. ”

"The leader is falsely praised. Guo Yongkun said with a smile: "Courage comes from confidence. ”

The words were neither humble nor arrogant, so that many leaders present couldn't help but nod.

This should be the youngest of the seventeen beverage sponsor representatives, and he has no stage fright in the face of them, and he really has some ability.

"It's good to have faith, of course, but I want confidence to be based on strength. Okay, so let's talk about your drinks. ”

Guo Yongkun nodded and stood up.

"As shown on the information I submitted, our drink is called Jianlibao, which is a drink tailored for sports, and it is also the first electrolyte carbonated drink in China, in addition to the role of the drink itself, it also has the effect of relieving fatigue and increasing metabolism, which is very suitable for athletes to drink. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion in the conference room, and not everyone had known about Jianlibao in advance.

"There's such a drink?"

"yes, it sounds more like a tonic. ”

"If that's true, that's a good thing. ”

"I'm afraid not. This relieves fatigue, I can still understand, but increases metabolism ......"

Guo Yongkun has been paying attention to everyone's words and expressions, and said at the right time: "We will position Jianlibao as a sports functional drink, as for whether it is safe and reliable, you don't have to worry about it, I have a piece of information here, you can know it at a glance." ”

As he spoke, he picked up his briefcase, took out a stack of documents from it, paced out of his seat, and saw that someone had handed out one.

"Peking University's test report?"

"Yo, that's an authoritative conclusion indeed. ”

As the first university in China in this era, no one will question the authority of Peking University.

After everyone took the information, they looked down one after another.

The content is very detailed, including what ingredients are contained in Jianlibao.

This made Guo Yongkun have to sigh, science is science, and the chemistry professor of Peking University only took less than a week to analyze all the formula materials of Jianlibao, and no one was missed.

Of course, the material ratio they certainly don't know.

The final results of this information show that Jianlibao has no toxicity and will not cause harm to the human body.

It's a little brief, but it's probably enough. If there is no toxicity, it means that it can be drunk freely, and it will not cause harm to the human body, which should be enough to distinguish it from stimulants.

Guo Yongkun doesn't know much about doping, but he thinks there will be some sequelae.

"Well, you've done a good job of this, your so-called sports functional drink is indeed the first in my country, and everyone doesn't know about it, so safety is the first premise. Since Peking University has issued a test report to prove its harmlessness, it can be used as a reference. How does it taste?"

"I won't talk about this, no matter how good it is, it's better for the leaders to taste it themselves. ”

Guo Yongkun gestured sideways, Wang Ziqiang hurriedly unpacked the box, and then sent a can to each leader.

"Huh, or is it in an aluminum can?"

"Yes, first of all, I have a sense of class. ”

"I thought there was this kind of packaging for foreign brands. ”

The canned Jianlibao made the leaders present shine, and you must know that the other 16 beverage sponsors, they are all glass bottles.

After all, this is something to be drunk abroad, and in addition to the inconvenience, the glass bottle also lacks grade.

With smiles on everyone's faces, they pulled open the pull tabs, and in an instant, a strong smell of oranges permeated the conference room.

"It's smelly!"

Someone began to taste it, and after the drink was imported, there was obviously some surprise and surprise on their faces.

The people who tasted it later almost all had this expression.

Among the leaders of the group, Yu Guoqing looked left and right with a smile, looking like watching a play.

"It tastes good!"

"yes, I think it's pretty good. ”

"It's not simple, it's not simple, it's a rising star!"

"No wonder they are so confident, this is really the strength to support it. ”

After everyone tasted the drinks, they looked at Guo Yongkun with obvious differences.

You must know that this is a drink that has never been heard of on the market, and the other party generously admitted in the application materials that they are a newly put into production factory. And what about the other sixteen?

All of them are large factories from all over the country, and some of them have been in business for decades.

In terms of the taste of the drink, this Jianlibao should be said to beat them.

"Very nice. The first leader praised him and continued, "But you said that your drink has the effect of relieving fatigue and other effects, but it is not shown on the test report of Peking University." ”

Guo Yongkun didn't want the professor of Peking University to praise Jianlibao, but if people didn't praise him, he couldn't help it. It can even be said that if there is no relationship with his sister, it is not so easy for him to even send the drink to the chemical testing room of Peking University.

"That's right. He explained: "The chemical test of Peking University only analyzes the ingredients of the drink, and as for the functional aspects such as relieving fatigue, if it really wants to be tested, it must be tested on humans, so they did not give a conclusion."

"But if you look at the drink ingredient list, it does contain electrolytes, and this kind of thing itself has the effect of relieving fatigue and increasing metabolism, which is scientific knowledge. ”

He tried to explain it this way, and he didn't distort anything, but there were really few people with good scientific literacy these days.

Otherwise, there will be so many people with aluminum pots on their heads, trying to receive cosmic energy.

"We'll check what you're talking about, but the problem now is that we've all drunk this drink just now, and it seems like ...... I didn't feel any lighter or anything. ”

After the first leader said this, he subconsciously looked at the others.

The crowd shook their necks, raised their hands, and shook their heads.

Guo Yongkun really served these people, what is Jianlibao, is it an elixir, you can experience obvious effects with just two sips?

"However, leaders, even if this effect is difficult to experience with the senses, our Jianlibao still has a strong advantage.

"First of all, it uses cans for filling, which is not inferior to those big foreign brands, and athletes go abroad to drink it in their hands, not to mention the grade, but also to save face. Can you imagine them at the Olympics with a glass bottle filled with soda?"

The leaders looked at each other by him, and suddenly thought about it, the scene was indeed quite shabby.

"Can't other beverage factories use this kind of packaging?" was questioned.

That's really okay. Guo Yongkun knows very well that in 1984, Jianlibao's cans were made from the Yangcheng Pepsi Factory.

Of course, he wouldn't say, "They don't have equipment." ”

This is the truth, at this time, domestic beverage factories, even if they are stronger than the Arctic Ocean, do not have canning production lines.

It's not that I can't afford it, but it's probably that it doesn't feel necessary.

The Arctic Ocean is widely popular for three cents a bottle, why increase the cost, multiple aluminum cans are at least two cents more expensive, and become a price for Heyang brands, will the people buy it?

"Next words. Guo Yongkun struck while the iron was hot, "You have also drunk it just now, and I can confidently say that the taste of Jianlibao will completely crush all other soda currently produced in China." ”

This is very domineering and arrogant. But there was no voice of reprimand at the scene, because they had already made comparisons in their hearts, and Jianlibao's taste was indeed impeccable.

"I think Jianlibao is good. A female leader said.

Guo Yongkun cast a grateful look at the other party.

"I also think it's very good, as the representative of the other party said, even if those functions can't be clearly experienced, in terms of grade and taste, Jianlibao is still a unique product. It was Yu Guoqing who said this.

Guo Yongkun also looked at him, but he didn't show too much emotion. On Brother Yu's side, there will be opportunities to thank you in the future.

"Yes, Jianlibao is indeed very competitive in comparison......" Everyone began to talk about each other.

"Everyone. At this time, a leader suddenly spoke, "I just carefully read the other party's application materials, and there is one point, I may want to remind everyone." ”

He paused when he said this, and after looking around at everyone, he continued, "The full name of the other party's factory is called Jianlibao Soda Factory in Deyi Village, Hedong City, and it is a village collective affiliated unit. ”

"What?"

When everyone heard this, many people were obviously stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly looked through the information that was distributed before entering the venue.

"Really!"

"This comrade, are you a unit affiliated with the collective?" someone looked at Guo Yongkun and asked.

I'm really afraid of something, Guo Yongkun actually realized this a long time ago, but when he came here today, he saw that no one mentioned it, so he was secretly happy. Naturally, he didn't take the initiative to mention it.

I never thought that it was not that I passed the test like this, but that the leaders were too busy, and many people didn't read their application materials carefully.

"Yes. "There's no way to hide this kind of thing.

"That's not going to work!"

"That's right, how can this be, a large-scale event like the Olympics is the time to promote our country's prestige, and the sponsor must of course be a state-owned factory!"

Many leaders who had already accepted Jianlibao from their expressions waved their hands and shook their heads at this moment.

Guo Yongkun smiled bitterly, the factory attached to it was really raised by his stepmother.

"Leaders, let me complain, what does it matter, our factory is essentially not owned by the state?"

"That's a good thing to say, but ......"

"Well, your candidacy is still retained, but we still need to study and discuss this matter, so let's do it today. ”

……

After returning to the hotel, Guo Yongkun locked himself in his room and carefully analyzed the current situation.

It is true that Jianlibao's advantages are obvious, grade and taste, and the leaders of the sports committee also nodded and acquiesced.

I believe this is also the reason why the other party keeps their place.

But the disadvantages are even more obvious, and even, powerless to change.

"No, it's just a five-to-five ending, it's too dangerous!"

The Olympic Games only come once every four years, and the 1984 Olympic Games is the first time that China has re-entered after a half-century absence.

Guo Yongkun must grasp it!

He sat on the bed with his cheeks folded, his brow furrowed, and tried to think of a solution.

The disadvantages of collective affiliation are unavoidable, so the only way in front of him at the moment is perhaps, only to enhance his own advantages.

When the advantages are so strong that the disadvantages can be ignored......

"That's right, just do it!"

He stood up suddenly, ran to the front desk downstairs, and hung up the phone to Peking University.

This is the phone number Guo Yonghui left for him, the only one in their dormitory, in the dormitory manager's room.

"Hello?"

"Eldest sister, do you remember me, Guo Yonghui's younger brother. ”

There is no mistake
