Yao Mingcheng said: "Now that we have cracked the ingredients of Red Bull, it is better for us to invest in the research and development of a new drink similar to Red Bull, so that we will save a lot of trouble in the future!"

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "That's okay, then what are you going to do?"

Yao Mingcheng said: "I will immediately go to Thailand again, and then collect the recipes of similar drinks from the people, and then bring them back for analysis, the United Soda Factory has the most advanced equipment and engineers, as long as you are willing to invest and spend some time, you can definitely develop a drink that has both refreshing effect and taste." ”

After Evergrande acquired the United Soda Factory half a year ago, it not only updated the equipment inside the factory, but also purchased a series of laboratory equipment in Germany and Japan, which is definitely at the leading level in the entire Southeast Asian region.

"Okay, then let's go!" Xu Zhi nodded in agreement, he was a little addicted to the "Red Bull" brand before, but now that it is difficult to start, he can only give up the acquisition and turn to developing new similar drinks.

The taste of Red Bull in later generations is not actually very good, but it is a good advertisement, F1 car, Olympics, football matches, car cross-country, beach volleyball, skiing and other sports programs, it is said that after the 21st century, Red Bull in sports sponsorship costs more than 500 million US dollars a year.

The advertising cost per bottle even exceeds the cost of production, but the results are also very good, and in 2012, the global sales reached 5.2 billion cans, making it one of the top 10 best-selling beverages in the world, and because it is a high-end route, the profit is extremely high.

Now, as long as you start first and enter the market with functional drinks in advance, then even if Red Bull goes international as it has done in history, it may not have a chance to rise!

......

Time flies, and a week flies.

The Peninsula Hotel, Level 12 Ballroom:

"Xu Sheng, welcome!" As soon as Xu Zhi got out of the elevator, Wu Guangzheng came over to greet him, today is the birthday of Bao Yugang's father Bao Zhaolong, and Wu Guangzheng was arranged at the door as his grandson-in-law to greet the guests.

Xu Zhi glanced at the hall not far away and said with a smile: "Wu Sheng, it seems that there are a lot of guests here today!"

Wu Guangzheng said: "The people invited are all friends of my father-in-law and his family, mainly for a lively time, so there are a little more people." ”

"Well, the more lively the party, the better. Xu Zhi said with a smile.

Wu Guangzheng said: "Xu Sheng, please inside." ”

"Thank you!" Xu Zhi said with a smile, and then walked into the banquet hall.

Although he only invited friends, Bao Yugang has been in the business world for so many years, and naturally has a lot of friends in the shopping mall, and soon, Xu Zhi met a few acquaintances.

"Xu Sheng!" Xu Zhi was attracted by a loud voice.

Xu Zhi smiled: "I didn't expect Dong Sheng to come here too!"

The person who came was Dong Haoyun, the second largest ship king in Xiangjiang, whose shipping company was second only to Bao Yugang in scale, and Xu Zhi entered the terminal field after acquiring Hutchison Whampoa, and also cooperated with Dong's company.

However, this person regards Bao Yugang as his lifelong rival, and has always aimed to exceed Bao Yugang's tonnage, and Xu Zhi never imagined that he would appear here.

At the end of the 70s, the total tonnage of Bao Yugang's ships was as high as 20 million tons, while Dong Haoyun only had 8 million, less than half of the former, and the difference was far from the same. But in the past two years, Bao Yugang began to abandon the boat landing, and sold the ships in his hands at a low price, Dong Haoyun also took over a large part, and at the same time, his Orient Overseas Company also acquired the second largest shipping group in the United Kingdom for 120 million US dollars, and ordered ships in large shipyards in Japan, Wanwan and South Korea, among which the Oriental Giant oil tanker built by Yokohama Shipyard in Japan, with a total tonnage of 565,000 tons, which is the largest in the world.

In last year's new round of international shipking tonnage rankings, although he still lost to Bao Yugang, he wrote to the jury that 40% of Bao Yugang's Global International shares are owned by HSBC, and Bao Yugang's tonnage should only be 6% of the actual value.

How could the jury accept his idea, which of the world's shipping companies is not a listed company, and who will hold 100% of all its ships? But in the end, the jury still awarded Dong Haoyun the title of "the world's largest independent ship king", which made Dong Haoyun satisfied.

Of course, the most powerful thing is that he has a powerful eldest son.

Dong Haoyun said with a smile: "Lao Bao and I are indeed competing with each other in the shopping mall, but we are not any enemies in life, if this is the case, the bosses of so many real estate companies in Xiangjiang will not be able to get along with each other!"

"Yes. Xu Zhi nodded and smiled, the conflict between the real estate companies is even more exaggerated than shipping, after all, every land auction is a real tough battle.

"Dong Sheng, it's been a long time!" Just as Xu Zhi and Dong Haoyun were chatting, another voice came from a distance.

Dong Haoyun turned around, and when he saw the person coming, he immediately shook hands and smiled: "He Sheng, I didn't expect you to come here too."

Let me introduce you, this is Xu Zhi Xu Sheng, the boss of Midea Electronics and Evergrande Group.

Xu Sheng, this is Mr. Stanley Ho, the owner of Aomen Lisboa Entertainment. ”

Stanley Ho didn't care about Xu Zhi at first, because they didn't know each other, but now when he heard Dong Haoyun's introduction, he was surprised, and immediately shook hands with a smile and said: "When I was in Aomen, I had already heard of Xu Sheng's name, I was really young and promising!"

Xu Zhi smiled: "I have admired the name of the gambling king for a long time. ”

"Come, let me introduce, this is my daughter He Chaoqiong. Stanley Ho put his hand behind the woman in the white dress beside him and introduced to Xu Zhi with a smile.

"Hello!" Xu Zhiye shook hands and smiled, he had noticed the woman next to the gambling king before, but he didn't know which of Stanley Ho's daughters she was, this guy had too many wives and even more daughters.

Pansy Ho was born to the gambling king Stanley Ho and his second wife Lan Qiongying, the year she was born, Stanley Ho happened to bid for the franchise of the Aomen Casino, and since then, the He family has almost monopolized the entire Aomen gambling industry, and then based on this, it has been involved in all walks of life in the entire Aomen, and even expanded the business map to Xiangjiang.

Therefore, Stanley Ho believes that he has "good feet" and "prosperous family business", which is highly valued, and since her girlhood, Stanley Ho has frequently taken her to various social places, and began to establish a large number of contacts for her.

"Hello, my name is He Chaoqiong, it's a pleasure to meet you. He Chaoqiong stretched out her jade hand and introduced herself with a very happy handshake.

Stanley Ho smiled and said: "Chaoqiong, haven't you always liked to start your own business, Xu Sheng is a representative figure in this, you can ask him for advice." ”
