Suites at Xijiao Guest House.

The two bodyguards ate in the living room, and Song Weiyang and Shen Si ate in the bedroom. The food is not special, they order according to their own wishes according to the menu, and the meal money is paid by Song Weiyang's employer, as long as they follow him out, it is a working meal.

Song Weiyang and Shen Si sat at the writing desk in the guest room, a plate of Babao chicken, a cabbage, and a soybean soup with shredded meat.

Two dishes and one soup, no more, no less, no chilling and no waste.

Song Weiyang munched on chicken while staring at his laptop. It's the end of the year again, and although he doesn't participate in the management, he has to look at all kinds of data carefully, so as not to smear his own company.

At the end of this year, Xifeng Group has a big operation.

The milk and milk beverage business, including Xiangpiaopiao Milk Tea, was spun off from the beverage division of Xifeng Group and a new joint venture was established with Mengniu Group.

Since Xifeng invested 10 million yuan in Mengniu in the early stage, it became the third largest shareholder of Mengniu, and there are many cooperation terms between them. With the rapid development of Mengniu in recent years, the products of the two sides have overlapped competition, Mengniu controls Xifeng's milk source, and Xifeng controls part of Mengniu's sales channels, which naturally develops to the point of stabbing each other.

In particular, Mengniu went public last year, and after the abundant funds, it not only spent a lot of money on publicity, but also engaged in acquisitions everywhere, and its own sales channels became more and more perfect. Xifeng's shareholding has also been diluted by Mengniu's listing, and it has become the fifth largest shareholder, and its control over Mengniu is getting weaker and weaker.

Yang Xin endured this situation for a long time, and as soon as the 12-month stock restriction period of Mengniu's original shareholders expired, Xifeng immediately took decisive action. It spent hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars to acquire the shares of several original minority shareholders of Mengniu at a premium, and instantly became the third largest shareholder of Mengniu again, second only to Yinniu Company (owned by executives of Mengniu's affiliated enterprises) and Jinniu Company (owned by Mengniu executives).

Not only that, Xifeng also began to buy shares from the secondary market frantically, and it is about to become the second largest shareholder of Mengniu. Boss Niu finally couldn't sit still, and took the initiative to contact Yang Xin, and the two sides sat together and had a pleasant communication.

The two parties will each spin off a part of the milk beverage business and put it into the new joint venture company, and the headquarters will no longer be allowed to sell similar products. Xifeng holds 65% of the shares of the joint venture and Mengniu holds 35% of the shares.

By the way, because under Song Weiyang's instructions, Xifeng grabbed the naming rights of Supergirl, and Mengniu's development was far inferior to that of another time and space.

And Yang Xin's decision to increase his stake in Mengniu is not only to deal with Mengniu, but also to kill two birds with one stone to deal with Danone.

The French Danone Group has been expanding wildly in China in recent years!

The first is the attack on the water beverage market, with Danone holding a 51% stake in Wahaha (a joint venture), a 92% stake in Robust, a 50% stake in Meilin Zhengguang and Water Company, and more than 50% of the shares of two beverage and food companies in Shencheng and Jiangcheng. These companies are all producing water beverages, and they have formed a semi-encirclement posture for Xifeng.

The second is the attack on the milk market, and Danone has been engaged in a joint venture with Bright Dairy since 1994. As of October this year, Danone has increased its stake for the third time, owning nearly 20% of the equity of Bright Dairy. And Danone has not stopped, and continues to buy in the secondary market, it seems that it will not give up if its shareholding does not reach 20%.

In Yang Xin's eyes, Danone Group's threat to Xifeng is far greater than that of Pepsi and Coca-Cola. Although the development of two colas is rapid and domineering, Danone's ambition is even greater, and from the perspective of its investment layout, it is obvious that it wants to monopolize China's milk drink and water beverage market.

Fortunately, the boss of Wahaha's sect was disobedient, and Danone has not been able to send someone to manage it. Bright Dairy is a state-owned enterprise, and with the experience of Tianfu Cola, Danone Group has not been able to achieve its control purpose.

Before Xifeng invested in Mengniu, it originally wanted to invest in Guangming. It's a pity that I can't even touch the threshold, and the bright leaders of the people said that they only accept the injection of foreign giants, and introduce advanced technology and management experience through international cooperation.

"Boss, look. Shen Si suddenly pushed his laptop over.

This is an email sent by Yang Xin casually, clicking on the link is a news page, and Song Weiyang laughed directly when he saw the title.

Danone and Wahaha have just signed a contract to allow the non-joint venture company created by Zong Boss to use the trademark "Wahaha" free of charge.

This contract is not the beginning of the tacit cooperation between Danone and Wahaha, but the final symptom of the two sides tearing their faces.

Back then, Boss Zong's blind investment went wrong, and he was desperately short of money and pulled Danone and Baifuler in. Who would have thought that Baifuller would go bankrupt due to the Asian financial crisis and transfer all its shares to Danone, which suddenly owns 51% of the shares. The trademark "Wahaha" belongs to the joint venture company, which is equivalent to being controlled by Danone.

Boss Zong soon realized that something was wrong, and not only refused Danone to infiltrate the management, but also illegally established a large number of non-joint venture companies, trying to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix to get rid of Danone's control.

Danone hated this, and after lengthy negotiations, the two sides finally reached an "understanding" agreement. But the problem is that the list of non-joint venture companies provided by Boss Zong is only a small part of it, and it won't be long before Danone finds out that it has been deceived, and it is even more shocked that there are unimaginably many non-joint venture companies controlled by Wahaha.

Then Danone opened his mouth and wanted to forcibly buy these gray companies at a very low price. Boss Zong directly detonated public opinion, stirred up the patriotic sentiment of the public, and brought in government forces to intervene. Danone is also doing the same, frantically promoting the spirit of the rule of law in the international community, and wants to solve the problem through the EU and the French government.

In the end, Boss Zong came out on top. In other words, the Chinese government is very powerful. Or in other words, Danone's appearance is too ugly, and it can't win Wahaha in an international lawsuit (the litigation record of both sides is 21:0, Wahaha wins) - at the beginning, Danone wanted to acquire Wahaha's 5.6 billion yuan non-joint venture company at the cost of 4 billion yuan. The forced acquisition could not be successful, and Danone said that it would sell its 51% stake to Wahaha for 50 billion yuan, but only 3 billion yuan was sold after the two governments intervened.

Danone raised the price a little bit and acquired it at a premium according to the laws of business, so it was absolutely certain that it would be able to win the lawsuit. But it is too greedy! Even the EU's international tribunal is unlikely to support Danone's acquisition, and at most sentence Wahaha to pay trademark royalties.

"Do you want to stab Wahaha?" Yang Xin sent another message, and he had already seen that Boss Zong was tired.

Song Weiyang smiled and replied, "Don't interfere, just sit back and watch the show." โ€

Yang Xin said: "This is a good opportunity to mess with Wahaha." โ€

Song Weiyang said: "Not necessarily. It's a muddy water, let's not wade into it. โ€

"Okay, listen to you. Yang Xin replied.

Due to the strong rise of Xifeng, many beverage and food companies, including Wahaha, have been affected. Especially the fragrance of milk tea, the main products have been robbed by Xifeng, and now it is only a local small business, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to grow big in this life. The development of Wahaha is estimated to be only 60% of the scale of the original time and space, and it is really too much to be grabbed by Xifeng to grab the market.

Shen Si took back his computer, walked around Renren for a while, and then browsed Taobao for a while, and then yawned and prepared to rest.

"Aren't you going back?" Shen Si asked.

Song Weiyang closed the computer: "Let's go." โ€

Tomson Golf is in the eastern suburbs of Shenghai, as the name suggests, the Xijiao Hotel must be in the western suburbs, and you have to go home through the entire Shenghai city. If you set off in the evening when you wake up, it is estimated that you will be stuck in traffic on the way to constipation, and now you go out just to avoid the evening rush hour.

Song Weiyang's current car is a 93 Cadillac Fleetwood with the license plate "Shanghai Aยท Z0001โ€ใ€‚

The license plate is Shenghai private car license plate No. 1, and the car is the official car of the U.S. Consulate General in Shenghai. The car is about 10 years old, it is well maintained, mainly because the comfort is top-notch, and this model was discontinued back in 1997.

Even if he drove an old car that was retired for ten years, Song Weiyang spent 3 million to get it. The license plate turned out to be more expensive than the car, and the auction price was 4.8 million yuan, because it was the No. 1 license plate of Shenghai's private car.

In another time and space, this car and this license plate were also put together by a local tyrant.

Song Weiyang was a pure bad taste, he had seen this car once before the crossing, and he was so envious at that time. Now that he had the opportunity, he immediately spent a huge amount of money to combine this car with this license plate.

The understated and luxurious Cadillac walks through the streets of the sea at night.

Everywhere you go, the neon lights are flashing and the lights are brilliant.

Countless grassroots people have worked hard here, and countless billionaires have risen and fallen from here. Prosperity, darkness, wealth, sin, all complement each other.

Song Weiyang looked at the night scene through the window, and suddenly felt his shoulders sinking, but Shen Si fell asleep, and his head leaned down on his arm.

Feeling that the wind was a little strong, blowing a chill, Song Weiyang closed the window with his hand, so as not to let Shen Si be blown cold.

The relationship between the two is very special, they are both employers and employees, teachers and students, and they are gradually getting closer to friends.

Shen Si became more and more open in front of Song Weiyang, and his speech was far more casual than before, occasionally chatting with him about some matters, and even expressing admiration intentionally or unintentionally.

But Song Weiyang always hesitated, and if he was about to leave. This is his first love in his last life, let alone marrying other men, even if he is in love, Song Weiyang can't accept it in his heart, but fortunately, Shen Si has been acting like a workaholic, and he has no time to pay attention to personal feelings for the time being.

And if Shen Si is accepted, don't say I'm sorry Lin Zhuoyun, Chen Tao still has a big belly.

Don't look at Song Weiyang's abduction and deception, he is cunning and cunning, but in terms of personal feelings, he is relatively conservative. He was a rich man before the crossing, but he only had one wife and a little lover. And that little lover was only found during the long-term separation after he had relationship problems with his wife (Doudou), and now he should be in junior high school.

In addition, there is another problem, that is, if the relationship with Shen Si develops between men and women, then Shen Si's assistant position will definitely be abolished. The two sides will not get along as simply as they do now, there must be a bunch of bad things to consider, Song Weiyang is actually quite satisfied with the current state with Shen Si, a little bit of spiritual love.

It's just that Shen Sidu is almost 30 years old, and if she drags on any longer, she will become an old girl.

What a headache!

Song Weiyang couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the street scene.
