Chapter Twenty-Five: The Shipwreck

Journalist, the uncrowned king of Shijie. When transmitting various current affairs news to the public, it also determines the public's public opinion orientation. In the pen of a reporter, you can be a good person for ten generations today, and you can become a sinner for the ages who will be unforgivable tomorrow.

Lin Feng and Zong Qinghou's press conference challenged the four inextricably linked giants in the industry and two different industries. Therefore, at this press conference, Lin Feng provided all the reporters present with a hamburger set meal from a fast food restaurant, and Zong Qinghou provided a very coke.

In addition to reporters from Chu City, many reporters from other places also attended the press conference. In order to take care of the reporters who came from other places, Lin Feng and Zong Qinghou specially set the press conference at 11:30 in the morning, just as this time was close to lunch time, especially many foreign reporters got the news in the middle of the night and rushed to come overnight.

And the cost of all this only cost Lin Feng less than 2,000 yuan. Definitely great value for money.

In the silent gnawing and swallowing sound of the audience, this shocking press conference officially began.

"First of all, on behalf of Waha X Group, I would like to thank all reporters for attending the press conference jointly held by Waha X Group and the fast food restaurants under Lin's Catering and Entertainment Co., Ltd. Zong Qinghou first delivered a speech.

"At this press conference, Mr. Zong and I have two things to announce, first, starting from today, my fast food restaurant under Lin's Catering and Entertainment Co., Ltd. has reached a strategic cooperation alliance with Waha X Group, and all the drinks sold in my fast food chain stores will be provided by Waha X Group, and will no longer sell any drinks under Pepsi and Coca-Cola. Lin Feng's words shocked the audience.

Lin Feng was also ruthless this time. Since you Coca-Cola and Pepsi don't offer Coke to my fast food restaurants, I simply don't sell any of your company's beverages. I don't believe that without your drinks, my fast food restaurant wouldn't be able to operate.

Of course, Lin Feng's decision was also extremely risky. After all, once a customer's taste is formed, it is not so easy to change it. However, just as Zong Qinghou advocated the extraordinary spirit of launching Very Coke, in the face of Xia Qianhe's declaration of war and the simultaneous pressure of McDonald's and Kenfc, Lin Feng also needs this extraordinary spirit.

If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!

However, this time, Lin Feng and Zong Qinghou focused on revitalizing the national economy and developing national brands, which coincided with Lin Feng's decision to break the boat.

The reporters took a deep breath and were shocked by Lin Feng's bold, nay, almost "rebellious" move. Globally, no fast-food restaurant, or any food industry, dares to refuse to sell any of Pepsi and Coca-Cola's beverages at the same time, which is an absolute act of suicide.

After a moment of silence, the reporters in the audience immediately raised their hands to ask questions. This is definitely today, or even this year, or maybe it will be the most shocking news of the century. A fledgling prefecture-level city-level fast food chain, under the pressure of the world's two major fast food giants, still dares to challenge the world's two major beverage giants, is this the courage to challenge, or crazy?

"Excuse me, Mr. Lin, do you think this decision is appropriate? Is it because you are only 20 years old now, so newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. But by rejecting two beverage giants at the same time, aren't you afraid that your fast-food chain will die before it develops?"

"Mr. Lin, with all due respect, do you know what kind of status Pepsi and Coca-Cola have in the world?

"Mr. Zong, do you know Mr. Lin's decision, do you think that Mr. Lin's decision is too reckless, will it bring trouble to your Waha X Group? I heard that the sales of your very Coke market are not good, what confidence do you have to replace Pepsi and Coca-Cola?"

The reporter asked one question after another, and the more he asked, the more tricky he became, and the more he asked, the more harsh he became, which made Lin Feng gradually have an unbearable momentum. However, Zong Qinghou has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has already learned how to avoid the important and light.

"Dear journalists, Mr. Lin's decision is not a blind and impulsive decision, on the contrary, it is a decision made by Mr. Lin after careful consideration. As soon as Zong Qinghou spoke, he immediately attracted the attention of reporters.

Speaking of which, journalists may not know. In 2000, Coca-Cola's penetration rate in 20 cities across the country was 83.9% and 85%, respectively, while PepsiCo's was 65.5% and 67.9%. The products of the two companies, such as Coke, Sprite, Fanta, 7-Up, and Minianda, occupy 90% of the domestic market share. The share of carbonated drinks in the entire Chinese beverage market is 36%, and in addition to Taiwanese companies such as Master Kong and Uni-President, the market share of domestic beverage companies with independent intellectual property rights is extremely pitiful. ”

Speaking of this, Zong Qinghou paused slightly, and seeing that the reporters were thinking, Zong Qinghou smiled slightly, "Therefore, Mr. Lin and I decided to join forces to jointly develop national brands, resist the strong invasion of foreign brands, strive for a little dignity and status for the domestic beverage industry, and also seek a position for the domestic fast food industry." Zong Qinghou raised this joint effort to the realm of national righteousness without a trace.

Lin Feng admired Zong Qinghou's language skills very much, and although the reporters saw the strangeness, Zong Qinghou was not wrong, Waha X Group has indeed fought for the domestic beverage industry in recent years.

In the applause of all the reporters, Lin Feng and Zong Qinghou looked at each other and smiled.

"Dear journalists, my cooperation with Mr. Lin will not only provide cola drinks, but also a variety of juices and tea drinks to meet the various needs of Mr. Lin's fast food restaurant customers. Zong Qinghou took advantage of this opportunity to announce to the whole country Waha X Group's determination to enter the tea beverage and fruit juice beverage market.

A group of reporters swallowed the burger in three or two bites, and quickly recorded all the details, today's press conference is really shocking.

"Hehe, fellow reporters, maybe everyone has been doubting the quality of very Coke because of the sales of Very Coke, today I and Mr. Zong, specially prepared three cups of Coke for you, namely Pepsi, Coca-Cola and Very Coke. I hope you will taste it and see if you can distinguish between three glasses of Coke. Lin Feng smiled slightly and ordered someone to bring out three glasses of Coke.

There are three types of cola, and for people who drink cola regularly, there are indeed subtle differences in taste. However, after adding ice, no reporter at the scene could tell the difference.

Some reporters who believe in Pepsi or Coca-Cola, after repeatedly identifying it, can only shake their heads, the three cola flavors are blended with a large amount of ice, unless you use an analyzer, you can't tell them by your tongue alone. Of course, some people with an "absolute sense of taste" can tell the difference. However, there is only one such person in tens of millions of people.

The press conference continued, and at this time Lin Feng threw out another "bomb" of today.

Since McDonald's and KFC don't make me look good, I won't let you have a good time! -- Lin Feng now holds 5% of Tengx.com's shares, and he also has a growing Dingdang.com, as long as he develops steadily, he can definitely become a billionaire. In that case, why should I suffer from these birds?

If you want to fix me, you can! But there will be a price, and a price that you will regret. - Lin Feng swore secretly.
