The American ambassador was puzzled by Howard's relentless targeting of a small Chinese company.
In his opinion, this was completely unnecessary and just a waste of time.
However, given that the gift seemed quite valuable, he absolutely had to show the proper attitude.
"Okay, Howard. But even so, you won't get much compensation. You can't squeeze much profit out of a small company like that. What's the point?"
"What we want is to win, not to pay compensation. Our position in the Dragon Kingdom is unshakeable!"
Howard was agitated, waving his fists as if his beliefs had been insulted.
The ambassador looked at the generous gift and nodded reluctantly.
“You’re right, this is indeed a provocation against us, and it’s unforgivable. I will lodge an official protest with the Dragon Kingdom, and I believe there will be a result soon.”
"That's wonderful! After all, the Spring Festival in China is not to be missed."
Upon hearing this, Howard immediately smiled, stood up to shake hands, and whispered a few words in his ear.
The two looked at each other and smiled, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Erpi was very efficient; in just a few days, Ruyang Kele completed a complete makeover.
This is also related to their current business model.
According to Su Wu, their market should be expanded to lower-tier cities, where there is no stockpiling of goods.
Moreover, given their current production scale, the stockpiled goods will not last more than a week.
In this way, the upgrade of Ruyang Cola and the launch of Ruyang Tea Drink achieved a perfect transition.
Just as Ruyang Company was coming up with all sorts of creative ideas to welcome the Spring Festival, Beauty Country made its move.
After questioning Japan and South Korea, they also questioned China.
America: China's lack of intellectual property protection has harmed the interests of our Coca-Cola Company, and we must give an explanation.
Longguo: How come I didn't know about this?
America: You're piracy of our Coca-Cola, and you're turning a blind eye?
Dragon Kingdom: Oh, we deeply regret this, but which one are you referring to?
America: Your Coca-Cola is seriously infringing on our rights, but our complaints have been delayed.
Long Guo: Don't be angry, let me see what's going on.
The United States is putting pressure on China, and China is somewhat helpless in the face of this.
Upon investigation, it was discovered that Ruyang Company was located in Tianjin, so the investigation was handed over to the leaders of Tianjin.
The leaders of Tianjin were furious when they saw the relevant documents.
"That damn American country, they can't stand to see us do well at all. We finally have a promising beverage brand emerging in Tianjin, and they start suppressing it?"
"But then again, why did they have to call it 'Cola Delight'? It's only one character different, isn't that just giving people something to talk about? How foolish!"
He tossed the documents onto the table, his expression somewhat grim.
The pressure from the United States is clearly aimed at forcing them to compromise and provide an explanation.
The current international environment is hard-won for China, and everyone is proceeding with extreme caution.
The leader from Tianjin rubbed his temples and said helplessly to his subordinates, "Go and contact that General Manager Wang. If all else fails, change the name and packaging. Don't waste your time with those big-nosed people."
"But boss, this might affect their performance, this..."
"The higher-ups said they know they are wronged, and if this matter can be properly resolved, they can provide some support in certain policies."
"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."
The clerk immediately obeyed and left, thinking to himself that he couldn't fight city hall.
American companies are powerful; how can these small local businesses compete with them?
As a result, the clerk returned to the leader's office less than an hour after leaving.
There's nothing I can do; everything's already been taken care of.
"Boss, I've already contacted General Manager Wang and even went to the nearest small supermarket to check it out. They've already changed their name and packaging."
"What? What's going on?"
"Mr. Wang said it was because of the launch of a new product, and in order to unify the brand image, the adjustments were made. From now on, all their beverage products will use 'Ruyang' as a prefix..."
"I see. So what are they called now?"
"Ruyang Cola, Ruyang Green Tea, Ruyang Black Tea, Ruyang Oolong Tea..."
"But the name 'Ruyang' is quite fitting, since their company is called Ruyang. It's a perfect name, like the sun shining brightly and the sun blazing. This CEO Wang is something else."
The leader was quite moved upon hearing this.
I originally thought it would be a rather troublesome matter, requiring some work or even intense pressure.
As a result, before anything even happened on his end, the matter was already resolved.
As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. Since Ruyang Company is being so cooperative, they can't be ungrateful either.
"Draft a statement clearly stating the facts, emphasizing that Ruyang Company does not have a product called Kelai Cola, understand?"
"clear."
The clerk nodded immediately and then quickly left.
A week later, the Dragon Kingdom released the investigation results to the Beautiful Country.
Dragon Kingdom: Dude, look, we really didn't infringe on any copyrights.
American: What the heck is Yang Kele?
Dragon Kingdom: Cola is indeed a bit excessive, but Yang Cola should be fine, after all, you also have Pepsi over there, right?
America: Okay, you can be considered to have a point, but what about the packaging? It's blatant imitation.
Dragon Kingdom: That can't be. We've checked, they're definitely different. You must have made a mistake.
America: Well... there's also the issue of the recipe; their taste is too similar to ours.
