The board of directors held another half an hour, and finally passed a resolution that Shao Yifu would continue to serve as the general manager of the company, while the Li family was completely excluded from TVB because of the veto power of the major shareholder, and could only enjoy a little dividend every year in the future.

However, discerning people have already seen that although Shao Yifu was able to continue to manage TVB as he wished, it was the Hutchison Whampoa Company behind the company that controlled the company.

Li Lu Yanqun and his two sons were about to leave, when a sudden voice came from behind: "Mrs. Li, can you wait!"

Li Lu Yanqun listened to the familiar voice, looked back at the person who came clearly, and said, "I don't know if Xu Sheng has any advice?"

"You've kicked us out of the wireless, what do you want?" said one of the Li family's sons in an unkind tone.

"Shut up, you all go down for me first. Li Lu Yanqun knew what kind of influence this young man in front of him, who was younger than his two sons, had in Xiangjiang, so he was naturally afraid that his son would make a stupid offense.

After the two left, Li Lu Yanqun said, "Xu Sheng, I'm sorry. ”

"It's okay!" Xu Zhi said with a smile: "This time the board of directors is actually not aimed at the Li family, I also take into account the interests of TVB, besides, Mrs. Li, you should actually know very well what the purpose of your two sons really wants to enter TVB, even if I don't interfere, they will not be able to achieve their goal, and in this process, Shao Yifu may tolerate it, but in the end he will definitely not tolerate them, and at that time, the situation faced by the Li family may be more troublesome than now!"

"Perhaps. Li Lu Yanqun also knows his son's character, he actually doesn't want to participate in today's affairs, he just can't compete with his two sons. He asked again, "Xu Sheng won't stop me just for this explanation, right?"

"It's not. Xu Zhi shook his head and said, "I'm more interested in a company under the Li family and want to buy it." ”

"Xu Sheng, do you want to buy Hysan Land?" Li Luyan's face changed greatly. Hysan Land is the core asset of the Lee family – a street in Causeway Bay, named Hysan Road, with more than dozens of properties under the family's ownership, although it is not a high-rise building, but the annual rent is eye-catching to countless people.

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "Hysan Real Estate is the core industry of the Li family, I know that you can't sell it, I want your family's United Soda Factory." ”

"United Soda Factory, does Xu Sheng want the land under the factory?"

"......" Xu Zhi couldn't help but be speechless for a while, it seemed that he was also called a big real estate developer, and when he mentioned the acquisition of others, he thought that he was for the land, so he could only shake his head and smile: "The purpose of my main acquisition is for the soda business." ”

Li Lu Yanqun said: "No matter what it is for, it can be sold, but it must be taken over completely." ”

"No problem. Xu Zhi nodded, United Soda Company is currently the second largest soda factory in Xiangjiang, with more than 800 employees and its own R&D department, which is a mature soda company as a whole.

As for the number one in the soda industry, of course, it is the Swire Group, which has been on the lap of Coca-Cola since decades ago, and has been monopolizing the market in Xiangjiang and several surrounding Asia, and in the next decade, the mainland has liberalized the beverage market, and Swire has also monopolized the business in several provinces.

At present, Swire's beverage factories mainly produce Coca-Cola, and the first batch of Coca-Cola imported from Swire factories came from Swire factories during the reform and opening up in the mainland in 78.

However, no matter how big the OEM is, it is only an OEM, Xu Zhi is obviously more optimistic about the Li family's joint soda factory, and in the original history, after the death of Li Xiaohe, Li Lu Yanqun judged that the soda industry will inevitably decline with excellent business vision, because most people have begun to eat healthily and welcome low sugar and low calories, so she resolutely decided to give up the soda factory and sold the factory land to Chen Songqing, and the soda business was sold to Yang Xiecheng.

Later facts also proved the correctness of her vision, and Yang Xiecheng bought the United Soda Factory after 12 consecutive years of losses, and finally closed down.

However, for Xu Zhi, a well-established beverage company is what he needs most, he knows the future development direction, Yang Xiecheng took over the soda factory or put the market in Xiangjiang, and at the same time launched high-sugar drinks, coupled with the soaring labor costs in Xiangjiang, it is difficult not to fail.

Li Lu Yanqun said: "Since there is no problem on our side, then Xu Sheng can arrange for the acquisition team to go to the soda factory to verify the information, and I have to think about the specific price." ”

"Of course. Xu Zhi nodded and agreed, he suddenly proposed the acquisition, and the other party naturally had to reconsider the price of the sale, and it was okay to agree, and the rest was naturally a matter for the lawyers and acquisition teams of both parties.

After returning to the company, Xu Zhi told Yao Mingcheng about the acquisition of the United Soda Factory.

"Xu Sheng, the current competition in the beverage market is very fierce, the two major cola companies almost monopolize all beverage categories, and the financial resources of these two are much stronger than ours, we enter this industry, I am afraid that the income is difficult to guarantee!" Yao Mingcheng said quite tactfully, he already understands Xu Zhi's character, if he is not preparing to enter the beverage field on a large scale, he cannot personally participate in this kind of thing, you must know that even a company as big as Hutchison Whampoa He only asks about some financial reports and major investments.

"I know, Coke is naturally not as good as Coca-Cola and Pepsi, but I have another trick, you go to Thailand immediately now, look for a Thai-Chinese named Xu Subiao, he has a Red Bull beverage company, which produces a drink that can make people feel refreshed, and you find him and find a way to buy this drink from his company. ”

"Xu Subiao. Yao Mingcheng wrote it down and asked, "Then does Xu Sheng know which city in Thailand he is?"

"I don't know, you just follow this information to find it, you have a name and a career, and you are Chinese, you must be a unique person, you go to the local area to spend some money, ask some intermediaries to find it." Xu Zhi said helplessly, it would be good if he could know the name of the person, but the ghost knows where this Xu Subiao is now.

Yao Mingcheng said: "Is this drink very special? ”

"You don't have to worry about that. Xu Zhi waved his hand and said: "This matter is more important, you personally go to Thailand and implement this matter." ”

After speaking, Xu Zhi took out something similar to a big brother from the drawer, handed it to Yao Mingcheng and said: "This is a satellite phone, you can call me directly, and the negotiation with the other party must be reported to me at any time." ”

Yao Mingcheng took it, looked at it for a while and said, "This thing is very expensive to use, and the hotel in Thailand also has a telephone." ”

"It's just a few dollars a minute, and you don't have to save that money. Xu Zhi waved his hand and said: "In addition to Bangkok and other cities in Thailand that can use the current Big Brother communication equipment, other places can only use ordinary telephones, this satellite phone is ready for you to use to contact me when you need it urgently during the negotiations, this kind of small money is not necessary to save." ”

Yao Mingcheng carefully put away the satellite phone, stood up and said, "Okay, then I'll prepare to go to Thailand immediately." ”

Xu Zhi nodded and smiled: "Okay, then it's hard for you to run!"
