When Shi Jingfu heard this, he was overjoyed.

"The local government must be very excited about the move of Wujiang Battery Factory to Guangzhou, and there is no difficulty in acquiring Asia Soda Factory this time."

In fact, Shi Jingfu is a little unaccustomed to drinking Asian soda.

On the first day he came to Guangzhou, he bought an Asian soda and drank a bottle, good guy, there is a smell of "wind oil essence", it is really good!

However, Asian soda is the iconic drink of Guangdong and even South China, and Cantonese people love to drink it.

Speaking of which, the current soda industry market is limited by objective factors such as production capacity and transportation conditions, and "one bottle of soda, one city" has become a true portrayal of the domestic soda brand pattern. Every bottle of soda has a unique imprint of a city, and every city also has its own unique soda taste and representative brand.

The reason why Zhao Ye wants to acquire the eight major domestic soda companies is also because of this reason.

The next day, Shi Jingfu came to the Guangzhou government.

During the negotiations, Shi Jingfu said that Wujiang Group could move the Wujiang battery factory to Guangzhou.

Wujiang battery, good quality, has a good reputation at home and abroad.

Moreover, as Gameboy swept the world, Wujiang battery also became popular all over the world, after all, the role of Gameboy's officially designated battery is too great.

The price of a battery is 2 yuan, and the manufacturing cost is less than one yarn, and the profit is very outrageous.

At this moment, the leaders present were excited when they heard that Wujiang Group planned to move the Wujiang Battery Factory to Guangzhou, and they welcomed it again and again, and also said that they could sell Asian soda to Wujiang Group.

In the afternoon, Shi Jingfu and his entourage came to visit the headquarters of Asia Soda Company.

In the 60s of the last century, "soda for foreign exchange" once became a good story, and even Asian soda was exported to Hong Kong, Macao and Southeast Asia, with the largest production and sales volume in the country.

In the previous life, Asian soda relied on "domestic feelings", the king returned, and it was sold out in many regions of China. Moreover, in the overseas market, on the basis of the export of some ASEAN markets, Asian soda actively expands the Southeast Asian market, the European and American markets, and makes domestic soda go to the world.

At this time, Coca-Cola's total market value had reached more than $270 billion.

PepsiCo has a total market capitalization of more than $260 billion.

In this life, if China also gave birth to a soda company with a market value of more than 200 billion US dollars, wouldn't it be possible?

……

Three days later, Shi Jingfu represented Wujiang Group to reach an agreement with the Guangzhou government to buy Asian soda.

Wujiang Group wholly acquired Asia Soda Factory for RMB 160 million.

Other than that

In Beiping, Wujiang Group wholly acquired the Arctic Ocean Soda Factory for 150 million yuan.

In Shanghai, Wujiang Group wholly acquired Shanghai Zhengguanghe Soda Factory for 120 million yuan.

Three pieces of news came out one after another, causing a sensation across the country for a while.

Many people wonder that Wujiang Group, a technology company, has been reduced to selling soda.

People from the Borderless Group made sarcastic speeches in the newspapers, "At that time, in order to impress Scowley, the president of PepsiCo, Jobs said something like this, he said: 'Do you want to change the world, or do you want to sell soda for a lifetime?' As a result, after hearing this, Scowley immediately resigned from the position of president of PepsiCo. Let's take a look at Zhao Ye, who is known as a 'genius technology entrepreneur' in China. He actually did the opposite, instead of doing scientific research, he sold soda. I have to say, it's a great sadness. Perhaps only a country like the United States, which is free and democratic, and whose air is full of sweet smells, can give birth to real tech entrepreneurs......"

Zhao Ye was reading the newspaper at this time, and happened to see someone scolding him in the newspaper, so he was angry.

"Damn, what's wrong with me selling soda? Selling soda is deviant? I don't need funding for scientific research, I really don't have a backache when I stand and talk, and I don't have enough funds, so what can I do with research and development. Or can you be an ostrich like others in the future, kneeling down and begging for charity from others: 'Okay, you see that I am a great good citizen, you can be merciful and sell me a little chip, or raw materials, production equipment, ......'"

"Damn, it's not a shame!! I'm so reborn and I'm going to have to suffer from this bird's breath! I'm going to die! ”

Zhao Ye took a sip of iced Arctic Ocean soda, and his heart was much cooler.

For these guys who like to scold, Zhao Ye didn't bother to pay attention.

These people are dog skin plasters, and the more you pay attention to them, the more they stick to them.

Ignoring their existence is the best way to deal with it.

……

At this time, the other five major soda factories in China were surprised.

Wujiang Group wants to wipe out the eight major domestic soda factories, and now, a negotiation team of Wujiang Group has already come to its own factory.

In the face of such a strong Wujiang Group, the local government was shocked, but also had a trace of inexplicable expectations.

The LCD project of Wujiang Group settled in Beiping, and the battery project settled in Guangzhou, and we also want to ......

……

Chongqing.

This is the third time that she came to the government building to negotiate the acquisition of Tianfu Cola Group, but this time, Du Xiaoyan is full of confidence!

"Hello leaders, Wujiang Group is willing to spend 130 million yuan to acquire Tianfu Cola Group, and is willing to invest 500 million yuan to build a VCD factory in Chongqing next year!" Du Xiaoyan said straight to the point.

The leaders of Chongqing were full of doubts, and someone asked, "Miss Du, what is this VCD?" How have I never heard of it! ”

Du Xiaoyan explained: "The full name of VCD is 'Video CD', which is video disc, and VCD factories mainly produce a machine that can play videos, that is: VCD players. This product is the same as the more popular VHS video recorder abroad, but the VCD is to play CD discs, and the VCR is to play VHS movie tapes. ”

VCD-related patents have already been applied, and Borderless is not afraid to let people know, and Borderless Group is probably the only one in the world that is currently researching these things.

Moreover, there are two core technologies of VCD, one is the MPEG decoding chip, and the other is the movement (disc reading and driving system). There is no company in China that has done it.

But for Zhao Ye, it is basically not difficult.

It is expected that in the second half of this year, Wujiang Group will be able to produce prototypes, and soon, it will be able to invest in building factories by the end of this year.

At this time, after listening to Du Xiaoyan's explanation, although they didn't understand it very well, they also knew a rough idea, which was the same product as a video recorder.

"Miss Du, there are not too many people in China who can afford to buy a TV, can this VCD be sold?" Someone wondered.

Du Xiaoyan said with a smile: "First of all, before the 90s, this VCD product was mainly used for exporting abroad!" ”

The '80s were the time of the VHS vs. Betamax war.

By 1987, VHS had not yet become dominant, but it had a clear advantage, and Sony's Betamax videotape standard was likely to lose.

At this time, if the VCD is born, it will come in.

Sony will most likely turn to support the VCD standard, because Sony is one of the proposers of the CD standard, anyway, the Betamax standard is going to be yellow, so it is better to support VCD.

Therefore, unlike the previous life, VCD is definitely promising to enter the European and American markets in this period.

Moreover, compared with the traditional VHS recorder, VCD has more abundant software varieties, and the image quality is higher than that of VHS recorder, and most of the accompaniment sound of VCD is dual-channel stereo or Dolby surround sound with better sound quality, coupled with low price, which once overshadowed the videotape.

Many people even predicted that VCDs would replace VHS tape recorders.

As a result, DVDs came out, replacing VCDs......

It's embarrassing, VCD just wants to cry without tears.

Fortunately, in this life, VCD was born six or seven years ahead of schedule, and it is really possible to replace VHS recorders.

Du Xiaoyan continued: "After the 90s, the domestic economy should grow, people's incomes should increase significantly, and many people should have the ability to buy VCDs. ”

After a pause, Du Xiaoyan revealed, "VCD is a project that Chairman Zhao Ye is very optimistic about, and this industrial market is very large, with tens of billions of dollars. Wujiang Group not only sells VCD players, but also CDs. Even if consumers can't afford VCD players, it doesn't matter, our company still has plans, such as the establishment of video halls across the country and even around the world, which can consume hundreds of thousands of VCDs just by producing and selling them, and even plans to set up an audio and video store to lease VCD players and CDs......

"Consumers in developed countries should buy VCDs directly, while consumers in developing countries can't afford VCD players, but at least they are willing to spend a little money to go to the video hall to watch a movie, the price is not expensive, and you can watch a movie for a few cents."

Du Xiaoyan frantically painted cakes for the leaders of Chongqing, but this was indeed the plan of the Wujiang Group.

Du Xiaoyan doesn't believe that the leaders are not moved?

Nowadays, the country is short of foreign exchange, and the local government regards it as a treasure if any enterprise can earn foreign exchange through exports.

In fact, the leaders have already been very excited by Du Xiaoyan's painting at this moment.

Chongqing is the largest port city in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and the transportation is quite convenient, but Chongqing has not been able to take out foreign exchange products.

The Borderless Group has undoubtedly given the Chongqing government hope.

As for Tianfu Cola...... Although it's not bad, how can it be compared with VCD, Chongqing leaders almost think so.

Soon, Du Xiaoyan finalized the acquisition agreement with the local government on behalf of Wujiang Group, and spent 130 million yuan to acquire Tianfu Cola.

Tianfu Cola Company was founded in 1983 and once occupied 75% of the domestic cola market. It's a pity that in the 90s, with the tide of investment promotion, Tianfu Cola and Pepsi Cola, a joint venture, but in the process of cooperation, it was gradually "hidden" and then disappeared from public view.

……

Not long after, the news of Wujiang Group's acquisition of Tianfu Cola spread far and wide, causing a national sensation again.

At present, Wujiang Group has acquired four of the eight major soda factories in China, leaving Tianjin Shanhaiguan Soda Factory, Shenyang Bawangsi Soda Factory, Wuhan Beverage No. 2 Factory and Laoshan Soda Factory.

"This Wujiang Group is really awesome, it has acquired four large soda factories in a row, I have to say that I am convinced!"

"The remaining four soda factories, I think it won't be long before they will become Wujiang Group!"

"The pattern of domestic soda factories has changed greatly, and Wujiang Group wants to monopolize China's soda market!"

"I think the state should come forward to restrain the Borderless Group from continuing to do this!"

“……”

Laoshan Soda Factory is under the jurisdiction of the Qingdao government.

At this time, the Qingdao government is holding a meeting.

"Wujiang Group has acquired the four major soda factories in China, and it may be the turn of Laoshan Soda Factory next. What do you think about this? The secretary asked.

"Haha, of course it's a good thing, Laoshan Soda Factory only sells soda after all, how can it sell high-tech products with more style and grade. If Wujiang Group has any high-tech projects in Qingdao, then we can also sell Laoshan Soda Factory to the other party. A leader said with a smile.

Immediately, many people responded.

Although some expressed opposition, it was useless because there were too many people who supported it.

"Could it be that after the Laoshan Soda Factory was sold to the Wujiang Group, the Laoshan Soda Factory was not a Chinese enterprise? There are now state-owned enterprises in China that implement the 'national retreat and democratic advancement', so why can't we? I believe that with the support of Wujiang Group, Laoshan Soda Factory will definitely be able to develop better than it is now! ”

The opposition was speechless.

The market value and profitability of most soda factories in China are not high. A computer costs 20,000 yuan, and the soda factory has to work hard to sell 200,000 bottles of soda.

Nowadays, economic development is the top priority of the local government, and what leader does not want a high-tech company, a highly profitable company, and a company that can export and earn foreign exchange.

"The negotiators of the Wujiang Group will meet in the afternoon, and when the time comes, see what conditions he puts forward, and then we will make a decision!" The secretary concluded, then adjourned.

……

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Yang led the negotiation team to the Qingdao government building.

Now he's prepared.

After the two sides met, Li Yang put forward a condition that surprised the leaders.

"I'm sorry, leaders, Wujiang Group does not have any projects in Qingdao at present, but our company can help local enterprises in Qingdao to develop and grow! For example, Haier Company in Qingdao, Wujiang Group is willing to invest 30 million US dollars in Haier Company, introduce advanced foreign production technology, and develop Haier refrigerators! At the same time, Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio can produce an animated film called "Haier Brothers" for Haier to promote the Haier brand! ”

After a pause, Li Yang said with a smile, "In this way, although Wujiang Group has no project to settle in Qingdao, it has developed a local electrical appliance company in Qingdao, and the effect is also very good?" ”

When the leaders of Qingdao heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads.

The key is that the 30 million US dollars is a huge amount of foreign exchange, and the Qingdao government may not be able to easily get so much money, and now if it wants to introduce advanced technology from abroad, in addition to joint ventures with foreign enterprises, it can only take out foreign exchange to buy technology or production lines abroad.

How can Haier have foreign exchange?

The Qingdao government is also struggling.

Therefore, Haier's current refrigerator technology is still quite backward, however, the quality of Haier's refrigerator is very good, because it now has a cow as the factory director, that is, Zhang Ruimin. As early as 1985, a user wrote to reflect that Haier refrigerators had quality problems, and Zhang Ruimin asked employees to use a sledgehammer to personally smash 76 defective refrigerators, which caused a sensation throughout the country and also woke up the quality awareness of employees.

Later, the sledgehammer has been officially collected by the National Museum of China as a national cultural relic.

However, in the late 80s, the Haier company produced China's first generation of four-star refrigerators by introducing the world-leading refrigerator technology of Liebherr in Germany at that time, and then led other companies in the domestic market with quality and technical advantages. Moreover, through the supply of high-quality products, Haier's products have also successfully passed the UL certification in the United States, and have the premise of participating in a larger market competition, such as exporting to Europe and the United States.

The secretary asked: "How many shares does Wujiang Group want to take from Haier refrigerators?" ”

Li Yang replied with a smile: "Not much, just 45% of the shares!" ”

When the secretary heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, Wujiang Group invested 30 million US dollars, accounting for only 45% of the shares, which is really not much, and the government still holds 55% of the shares, and can still control Haier.

……

At this time, Zhao Ye, who was far away in Shanghai, was waiting for the results of this negotiation.

Household appliances, Wujiang Group does not plan to do it by itself, just invest in it, and by the way, it can also help these companies rise in advance.

Of course, the fact that Wujiang Group does not make home appliances does not mean that Wujiang Group will not develop things related to home appliances.

With its own technological advantages, Wujiang Group can learn from Bosch, the "uncrowned king" in the automotive field, and provide chips, spare parts, advanced equipment, materials, etc., to become an invisible giant!
