Chapter 354: Key Issues

The last time England reached the semi-finals of a World Cup was in Italy in 1990, when they met hosts Italy and finished fourth in the final four, winning a 'fair play award'.

It was also the closest thing to the Hercules Cup since England won the World Cup on home soil in 1966.

When it comes to this, it sounds a little regrettable, in 50 years, the powerful England team, the closest to the World Cup, actually only finished fourth, it is simply incredible.

But that's the truth.

England fans are desperate for England to regain their glory, they have one of the most luxurious squads in the world, they are a strong contender for the title every time they have competed in every tournament, and every time they have been proven to be 'just a boast' at the end.

Again and again they fell in the quarterfinals, round of 16, and even the group stage.

England fans couldn't take it.

This time, Eriksen's England finally reached the last four of the World Cup again, and England fans can finally start looking forward to winning the championship.

There are only two games left to win the championship in the semi-finals!

After England beat Portugal, the game became the biggest news in the World Cup, and despite their historically poor results, they have always been the focus of the world, talking about much more than other teams, and even the hosts Germany have not talked about it off the field as much as England.

As you can imagine, the media coverage from all walks of life can be imagined.

All kinds of praise abounded, and there were some doubts, but they were quickly covered up, and one by one the English players stood up and said that the team's goal was to win the championship, and one by one the fans stood up and expressed their absolute support for the team.

Even manager Christian Eriksen is optimistic, "We're in the semi-finals, it's all set goal, but we're not going to stop there, England haven't won the heavyweight trophy for too long, the whole team is on the same page, and we will do our best to keep going!" ”

The British media called England's World Cup trip to Germany, also known as the 'reinvention journey', which means that the England team can rebuild the glory of the championship.

In one report after another, in the news about the England team, the Yangyang Sports Center is naturally indispensable.

Many reports have mentioned the Yangyang Sports Center.

This is mainly because, when talking about the game, many players talked about the role of the Yangyang Sports Center in preparation and training-

"It was the most scientific training, and I think my good condition has a lot to do with the scientific training."

"Thanks to the Yangyang Sports Center, they are the most professional coaches."

"I loved the training and, of course, the drinks."

"That's pretty cool!"

"Yes, I also like the sheep drink, the taste is very unique, I am thinking, after the World Cup, I must find a channel to order a few boxes at home."

Quite a few players share the same opinion.

This made the Sheep Sheep refreshing drink become more popular in the UK and even Europe for a while, but fans regretted that it was difficult for them to buy beverage products from formal channels.

There are some large shopping malls and luxury stores, all of which have purchased sheep and sheep refreshing drinks, which were not sold very well at first, but with the World Cup, the drinks are becoming more and more popular, and many places are out of stock, and they don't know how long they will have to wait to be shipped over.

It was at this time that good news appeared.

The senior management of Yangyang Food and Beverage Co., Ltd. held a simple press conference in London, and said that the future goal is to bring the Yangyang brand from the United Kingdom to Europe, and their sales department has cooperated with Amazon.com to sell Yangyang refreshing drinks, which can be purchased directly as long as the Amazon website covers the places.

Fans in Europe who were looking forward to buying drinks were suddenly boiling.

When the Amazon website began to sell sheep and sheep refreshing drinks, it started with reservations, because global delivery is more troublesome, and each region has to accumulate a certain amount of orders to deliver it, but on the first day of opening, in the first 12 hours, more than 23,000 boxes were pre-sold, and according to the average price of nearly 1,800 US dollars per box, including customs taxes, the advance payment in 12 hours exceeded 40 million US dollars.

The managers of the Amazon website were stunned.

At the rate of growth in this number, it became a big problem that they could get enough goods on time, so Amazon had to temporarily close the pre-orders, and apologized that 'the first round of pre-orders has ended', and customers who did not pre-order could wait for the next round to begin.

Amazon's executives are starting to think about a different way of working together.

Previously, Amazon and Yangyang Beverage and Food Co., Ltd. negotiated a good way to cooperate is to carry out 'platform resale', that is, Amazon first gives Yangyang Beverage and Food Co., Ltd. a certain amount of advance payment, and promotes and sells it on the website, and they are responsible for taking the goods from the customs, and then carrying out a series of work such as sales and transportation.

Amazon has a lot of work, but they can also make nearly 20% of their profits.

It's a huge profit.

But such a cooperation will face a problem: Amazon has to bear certain risks, such as the beverage cannot be sold, and the sheep food and beverage company will not refund the advance payment.

Amazon is not worried about this.

By exploiting the NBA market in the United States alone, they can make a lot of money.

Now they face a second risk: the sales are so hot that they can't meet the needs of their customers because they can't get as many items at once.

The number of sales stipulated by the two sides is limited, basically about 3,000 cases per month, which is already on Amazon's bottom line, because they have to pay $3.5 million in advance in advance.

Looking at the current situation, 3,000 boxes a month, the number is too small and too little, Amazon had to send a team to re-negotiate the way of cooperation, but they found that the website could not monopolize the benefits, because they could not pay more than 10 million dollars in advance a month, just for a beverage product, if there is a problem, the loss will be a little too serious.

Just when the executives in charge of Amazon were still having a headache for the sales volume, the sales work of Yangyang Food and Beverage Company had been rapidly rolled out.

First, it was an international cooperation, and then it was transferred back to China, and it cooperated with the newly rising Tao-Bao to open its own store.

The online sales situation is encouraging.

In the past, most sales were made offline, and online sales were the first time, but online sales were not much worse than offline sales at all.

Yangyang Food and Beverage Company suddenly fell into a situation where supply exceeded demand.

Of course, the company was happy to see this, with many employees working overtime and receiving double pay, and the company began to look to continue to expand, with the management team setting a goal of "producing more than 20,000 bottles per day by the end of the year." ”

20,000 bottles a day is definitely not enough to sell, but this is actually the limit of this year, not because of the manufacturing equipment, but because the dilution process of the stock solution is not up to standard.

The stock solution provided by Shen Yang is enough to use, but if you want to dilute the stock solution, you have to go through a series of complexities, many of which require manual participation, which is what hinders the output.

There's no way around it.

Shen Yang couldn't think of any good way, so he could only expand the number of employees at the bottom for the time being, and exchange manpower for time.

Yangyang Food and Beverage Company also began to expand rapidly, and the number of employees soon exceeded 2,000, which is already the top large enterprise in Zhengyang.

Just when the Yangyang refreshing drink, with the help of the England team's semi-finals, quickly became popular, Shen Yang also received good news from Director Zhang in Yangyang Sports City-

The Jiangcheng city government is already considering his idea.

'Under consideration' means that there is no refusal, but no final decision has been made, which is very promising.

————

Ye Jingcheng, mayor of Jiangcheng City, and Wang Baoren, vice mayor of Jiangcheng City, had an in-depth discussion.

Wang Baoren is absolutely supportive of the Yangyang Group, the development of the Yangyang Group has brought him outstanding political achievements, and with the political achievements of the past few years, he has taken a step closer to the past.

But Wang Baoren refused.

He is a local, but he doesn't want to fight for anything, he just wants to stay in Jiangcheng and wait for the day of retirement.

Ye Jingcheng also enjoyed the benefits brought by the development of Yangyang Group, the most important embodiment of an official's achievements is the local economic development, because of this, local governments will invest in the local area regardless of the cost.

Yangyang Group is a local enterprise, a local sports company, and it is really unexpected that it can develop to such an extent.

Ye Jingcheng is not like Wang Baoren, he is only fifty years old, and he can continue to fight upward, and he has the strength to fight.

He needs political performance more.

So what are the political achievements? Economic development is one thing, but finance is also very important.

Ye Jingcheng is considering selling Jiangcheng Vocational and Technical College to real estate developers through bidding, so that the city can get a large amount of money, and with other land projects, Jiangcheng will also change dramatically.

However, the report submitted by Director Zhang still made him hesitate.

Yangyang Group plans to buy Jiangcheng Vocational and Technical College, and in two or three years, it will be ready to build an international school?

Ye Jingcheng began to measure constantly.

The city's finances are important, and so is education.

Jiangcheng Vocational and Technical College, is the 'face college' of Jiangcheng education, Jiangcheng itself has no educational strength, needless to say about the industry, all kinds of champions in the province over the years, it seems that it has nothing to do with Jiangcheng.

Education also needs to be done well.

If it can be turned into a high-end international school that cultivates talents, it will definitely be quite helpful to the education culture of Jiangcheng.

In addition, Yangyang Group also proposed that it is a good thing to continue to retain Jiangcheng Vocational and Technical College, and the city has been worried about how to arrange those teachers of the state, which solves a lot of trouble.

But how much will Yangyang Group contribute?

This is the key question.

If the Yangyang Group plans to buy the land of the Yangyang Sports City before, it is almost 'a dime', Ye Jingcheng will definitely not agree, there is almost no benefit in the city, and it is impossible for them to contract the country's schools to private companies for nothing.

So Ye Jingcheng began to discuss with Wang Baoren, the focus was on 'how much money will be paid by Yangyang Group', the two said that Wang Baoren was biased towards Yangyang Group, he thought that it would be enough to give a symbolic price, and Ye Jingcheng insisted on calculating it according to the market price.

The two couldn't talk at all.

In the end, they decided together to send Director Zhang to lead a small team to Yangyang Sports City to do a simple negotiation and understand before considering.
