After discussing some hacking techniques, Su Wu logged off.
It wasn't that Su Wu was arrogant and exposed himself, but rather that he needed to get in touch with Mei Kuzi.
This girl has connections with the Yamaguchi-gumi (Yamaguchi-gumi) guild, so there are many ways he can use her.
If he can win this bid, many of his problems will be much easier to solve.
Don't think that just because he raised $1 billion, he can build a chip factory; that's just the first step.
The biggest problem is how to procure the complete set of equipment.
Given the current technological blockade, it won't be easy for him to acquire a fully automated system.
The Yamaguchi-gumi group could undoubtedly help him solve a lot of troubles, since this Mikuko didn't seem to have an ordinary identity.
As for safety, is there anywhere safer than China?
Su Wu rubbed his face, feeling a sense of anticipation.
The beginning is always the hardest, but once you can sell one recipe, everything else will be much easier.
If we can sell more copies, the funding problem will be solved.
In just three days, Erpi had prepared all the extraction equipment and production materials that Su Wu needed.
The workers began production according to Su Wu's instructions.
Everything else is fine, except that the extraction process was divided into three separate, unrelated operating rooms, which was also to keep the formula confidential.
Of course, a necessary confidentiality agreement should still be signed.
Erpi and Suwu were anxiously awaiting the first batch of cola to be released.
"Dude, are you sure your recipe is okay? Fennel and cinnamon are one thing, but there's also cilantro?"
In his opinion, this recipe was too unorthodox; it wasn't making a beverage, it was practically cooking.
Su Wu calmly replied, "What do you know? Many of these are substitute ingredients; what we need are the raw materials."
"Okay, I hope what you make is drinkable, otherwise our beverage will just turn to dust." Erpi said with a wry smile.
Su Wu's recipe design was slightly modified from the original.
He reduced the sugar content and added ingredients such as ginseng.
Of course, the amount of ginseng is very small; one cultivated ginseng root costing 2 yuan is enough for hundreds of bottles of beverages.
Seeing the bustling production scene, Su Wu reminded Er Pi.
“Those extraction workshops are our lifeline; we must keep a close watch on them and absolutely cannot leak the formula.”
"Really important? Didn't you say it's only 1% of the ingredients?"
"Yes, that 1% is worth hundreds of millions. Do you know how much the Coca-Cola trademark is worth now?"
"have no idea."
"3 billion US dollars!"
"Damn, you should have said so earlier. This needs to be kept under strict control. No, we have to build a few separate factories; mixing them all together won't work."
Su Wu's words completely terrified Erpi, who immediately became neurotic and saw everyone as a thief.
This is exactly the effect Su Wu wanted; it must be taken seriously.
Domestic patent protection is practically nonexistent now; if something is missed, it's missed.
After a busy morning, the first batch of raw pulp, mixed according to the specified ratio, was finally produced.
Su Wu smiled and said, "Add water at a ratio of 1:5, then inflate and fill the container."
"Quick, quick, quick, get moving!" Erpi immediately put his hands on his hips and gave the order.
As soon as the first bottle of Coca-Cola rolled off the production line, Erpi couldn't wait to grab it.
He glanced at the Coca-Cola on the other side, and his face instantly fell.
The packaging looks exactly the same if you don't look closely.
Su Wu couldn't help but find his expression amusing.
This kid has never been beaten up by the various tricks of Oreo; that's when the real dangers of the world begin.
"Don't just stand there, let's taste it and see how it tastes," Su Wu said confidently.
*Pfft*, the bottle was unscrewed, releasing a burst of carbon dioxide.
Su Wu took a sip of his own family's Coca-Cola and squinted his eyes.
The sample had a strange taste with more of the sweetness unique to ginseng, but less of the sweetness from sugar.
Overall, the taste is more refreshing than the original and not overly sweet.
As for the ginseng flavor, it's very faint and won't interfere with the original taste of the cola.
How to describe it? Anyone who has eaten ginseng or ginseng candy can taste the subtle ginseng flavor in just one bite.
But for those who have never tasted ginseng before, drinking it feels almost the same as drinking cola, perhaps even more refreshing.
Erpi, who had never tasted ginseng before, looked as if he had just tried it, his face full of surprise.
"Damn, it's exactly the same, except ours isn't as sweet. Did they add too much water?"
"I did it on purpose. Too much sugar is bad. Just enough is fine."
Su Wu smiled confidently, quite satisfied with the result.
Erpi, lacking technical knowledge, naturally listened to Su Wu.
He laughed loudly, "Now that we've succeeded, the rest is up to me. From now on, work overtime to produce more; I'm going to sell them tomorrow!"
Su Wu did not object to this, as long as he was paid more wages.
But once everything is on track, we must strictly enforce working hours and there is no need to exploit labor.
The next day, Erpi arrived at the factory with a dozen or so street thugs.
"Brothers, this is my business, let's help promote it."
"Don't worry, Erpi, we've got all the restaurants, convenience stores, and internet cafes in Tianjin covered, no one will be left out!"
"But, Erpi, are you really going to give us a discount of 1.2 yuan per bottle?"
As soon as Erpi finished speaking, a dozen people started arguing.
Erpi said with a serious face, "Yes, but the retail price can only be 3 yuan, it can't be higher. You also have to give them a profit margin higher than Coca-Cola, and the rest is yours."
