Zhao Ye's inspection tour significantly increased the workload.
It's truly a case of "the boss only needs to open his mouth, and the employees have to run themselves ragged."
Developing "electronic pets" and multi-card slot arcade machines, and expanding the LCD factory, are all very important.
In mid-May, as the weather began to get hot, Zhao Ye took a couple of sips of Arctic Ocean soda when the phone rang.
"Hello, who is this?" Zhao Ye glanced at the caller ID on his cell phone; it seemed he didn't recognize the person.
"Hello, is this Mr. Zhao Ye? I am Yang Jie, the director of 'Journey to the West'."
"Oh, it's Director Yang Jie. Has the TV series 'Journey to the West' finished filming?" Zhao Ye was taken aback. After so long, he had almost forgotten that he had invested in two domestic TV series, "Journey to the West" and "Dream of the Red Chamber".
Because the budget was slightly better, the director of "Journey to the West" decided to film all the episodes at once, unlike the previous one which was filmed in two separate sessions with a seventeen-year gap in between.
However, the filming speed of "Journey to the West" was very slow, averaging a little over one episode per month.
Filming has been ongoing since 1982.
Well, only through meticulous craftsmanship can a classic be created!
In the past, no other version of "Journey to the West" could surpass the 1986 version.
This life should be the 1987 version of "Journey to the West".
Director Yang Jie replied with a smile, "Yes, Mr. Zhao, I called you as soon as 'Journey to the West' finished filming. The TV series is expected to air during the summer vacation, which is about two months away. When you invested in 'Journey to the West,' you said you wanted to invite the main actors to be your spokespeople. I thought I'd call you now to ask them to cooperate with your company's promotion."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ye's eyes flickered. As soon as "Journey to the West" was broadcast, the streets were deserted as everyone watched the performances of Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and others.
However, it seems that Wujiang Group does not have any products that are suitable for them to endorse.
Zhao Ye frowned. The broadcast of "Journey to the West" was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If they could use this opportunity to promote their product, it would surely become a nationwide sensation!
At this moment, Zhao Ye's eyes noticed the "Arctic Ocean Soda" on the table.
This is Beibingyang, produced in the capital city of Beiping, and is known for its "orange and tangerine aroma and strong aroma of sandy mouth"!
Older residents of Beijing who experienced the heyday of Beibingyang recalled that "two yellows" were the most common sights in Beijing: one yellow was the yellow "mian di" (miniature van taxis) clustered on the streets and alleys, and the other yellow was Beibingyang soda, which was popular in hutongs, small shops, restaurants, and tricycle stalls.
Zhao Ye suddenly remembered that by the 1990s, China's eight major soft drink factories would soon be strangled by Coca-Cola and Pepsi through a conspiracy.
Any company that partners with Coca-Cola or Pepsi will inevitably be shelved and disappear from the domestic market.
The soft drink industry has great potential!
In his previous life, the owner of Nongfu Spring was even once the richest man in China.
To maintain world peace and uphold the principle of love and truth amidst evil... I must take over the eight major soft drink factories in China and defeat Coca-Cola and Pepsi! Want to enter the Chinese soft drink market? This time, it won't be so easy!!!
Zhao Ye couldn't help but be tempted. The soft drink industry was probably the most suitable product to cooperate with "Journey to the West" at the moment. First, they could occupy the domestic soft drink market, and then enter the international market to seize the market share of Coca-Cola and Pepsi.
Bring the flames of war to the enemy's home!
If the enemy can go, so can I!
"Director Yang Jie, I'll contact you again after I've thought about the collaboration. What do you think?"
"Okay, no problem."
"Okay, that's settled then. I have other things to take care of. Goodbye, Director Yang!"
Zhao Ye ended the conversation, then called his secretary Liu Yinyin and instructed, "Immediately release the news that Wujiang Group is planning to invest 1 billion RMB to build an LCD factory! Oh, by the way, have the group send someone to investigate domestic soft drink companies; I need detailed information!"
Liu Yinyin was startled upon hearing this, and then quickly responded.
That afternoon, domestic media learned that Wujiang Group planned to invest 1 billion RMB to build the largest LCD panel factory in China!
This news immediately caused a national sensation and sparked heated discussions among the people.
Subsequently, investment promotion departments in major cities took action.
Cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Wuhan, and Chongqing contacted Wujiang Group.
"Boss, there are currently eight major domestic soda brands in China, and these eight brands account for half of the national market share. These 'eight major soda factories' are Tianjin Shanhaiguan Soda Factory, Shenyang Bawangsi Soda Factory, Wuhan Beverage Factory No. 2, Beiping Beibingyang Food Factory, Guangzhou Asia Soda Factory, Laoshan Soda Company, Chongqing Tianfu Cola Group Company, and Shanghai Zhengguanghe Soda Factory!"
At this moment, Zhao Ye was full of ambition. If he could take over all eight major domestic soda brands, how magnificent and domineering that would be!
In Zhao Ye's office, Lü Maoshi was also sitting to the side.
Zhao Ye then said to Lü Maoshi, "President Lü, I hope to acquire these eight soda factories. You should immediately set up a large acquisition team and send them to each of the eight factories to discuss the acquisition!"
After a slight pause, Zhao Ye said, "If they don't accept a full acquisition, then we can cooperate with them to form a joint venture, but we must hold a controlling stake!"
Although domestic soft drink factories are profitable, they are not on the same level as Wujiang Group.
For example, the globally popular Arctic Ocean soda only has sales exceeding 100 million yuan, and profits of just over 10 million yuan.
