Chapter 351 No Reason to Reject
"Okay Mr. Li, I will solve the problem in Malaysia as soon as possible and then fly directly to Beijing."
"This opportunity is very important. If we seize it, we will achieve twice the result with half the effort. If we miss it, we will have to follow others and try our best to catch up."
"Don't worry, Mr. Li. I was with the big boss of the Sports Department at the National Day celebration last year, and we even called each other to wish each other a happy New Year. I don't think it's a big problem."
"Then hurry up."
"Okay, okay."
Li Ye hung up the phone and couldn't help but smile, feeling a bit like it was a coincidence.
Last year, when Pei Wencong went to attend the National Day celebrations, Li Ye was envious and jealous, after all, he was just a little kid and was not qualified.
But now Li Ye just feels fortunate that Pei Wencong went to the National Day celebrations and that “culture and sports are inseparable” in the mainland, allowing Pei Wencong, a cultural figure, to become familiar with the bigwigs in the sports world.
If 1984 was the first year for the development of private enterprises in mainland China, then the 23rd Los Angeles Olympic Games was the peak of popularity in mainland sports.
The mainland delegation participated in the Olympic Games for the first time and won 15 golds, 8 silvers and 9 bronzes, ranking fourth in the medal table. This was a shot of super stimulant for the flower growers who were in urgent need of national self-confidence.
With the help of the Olympic Games, the "Magic Water of the East" Jianlibao came into being and became the permanent memory of a generation.
As China's earliest electrolyte sports drink, Jianlibao is very expensive. An ordinary 355ml can costs 3 yuan.
But this did not hinder its "magic" at all, and it dominated the mainland's high-end beverage market for nearly 20 years.
If Mr. Li had not been so anxious later, perhaps foreign brands would not have come from behind and defeated domestic beverage brands.
Li Ye originally had no idea of building a "beverage empire" because the threshold for the beverage industry is not low and it is not easy to get started. It is even more difficult to make money from foreigners.
Functional beverages do have some technical content. For example, Jianlibao is the result of joint efforts of Sanshui Brewery, three colleges and research institutes. It is based on the research results of a professor from Yangcheng Sports Medical College and the ingredients were determined after many experiments.
You can't just add some sugar water and melatonin and then play the "give XXX as a gift" game, right?
However, the emergence of Fu Guiru and the "power" of foreign brands in the mainland made Li Ye change his mind temporarily.
The beverage market is an important gold mine for the mainland food industry, and it can be said that dark horses frequently emerge.
The development of the beverage industry in the mainland began in the 1980s, and in just 20 years, it has almost completed the entire beverage development process that took Europe and the United States 80 years.
In 1982, the state included beverages in the "national planned management products".
In 1983, sales of the "Eight Major Soft Drink Factories" accounted for 42% of the country's total output.
The Arctic Ocean in Beijing, the Shanhaiguan in Tianjin, the Zhengguanghe in Shanghai, the Asia in Guangzhou, the Bawangsi in Fengtian, the Tianfu Cola in Sichuan and Chongqing, the Laoshan Cola in Dongshan, and the Shaolin Cola in Henan Province were all once popular.
However, these eight giants combined may not be enough to defeat Jianlibao, and after decades of struggle, those who can survive are the lucky ones. They are powerless to compete with foreign capital again.
So this time, Li Ye wanted to give it a try, to see how capable he is as a time traveler and whether he could change history.
. . . . . .
After Pei Wencong in Malaysia hung up the phone with Li Ye, he thought for a moment and then called Fu Guiru's home.
Based on his understanding of Li Ye, everything Li Ye entrusted him to do was an opportunity of fortune that shone with dazzling golden light. As long as Li Ye urged him to do it as soon as possible, he would not dare to stay overnight.
"Hello, I'm looking for Ms. Fu Guiru."
"May I ask who you are?"
As soon as Pei Wencong heard the girl's voice on the other side, he knew it was the eldest brother's sister Fu Yiru.
"Hello Miss Fu, my last name is Pei, and I am your mother's business partner. I need to discuss some business matters with your mother."
"Oh, it's Mr. Pei! My mother is not at home, can you leave your phone number?"
"My number. Your mother knows I'm a little anxious. Please ask your mother to call me back when she comes back."
"Okay, okay, I understand, Mr. Pei."
Fu Yiru put down the phone and quickly called her mother.
Fu Guiru was working overtime at the factory today. Fu Yiru knew about it, but she was very cautious and would never tell strangers about her mother's whereabouts.
After explaining to her mother, Fu Yiruo put down the phone and turned around, she saw her younger brother Fu Zhiman looking at her with a gloomy face.
"Xiao Man, have you finished your homework? Do you need me to check it for you?"
"Besides checking my homework, can you do other things that a sister should do?"
"Xiao Man, what are you talking about?"
"What did I say?" Fu Zhiman looked at Fu Yiru fiercely and said bitterly, "What's the use of my good or bad grades?
You and mom are about to sell the company to outsiders. Have you considered my opinion?"
“.”
Fu Yiru was stunned.
The Chinese education environment in Malaysia is actually not very good, but Chinese education continues to thrive. In addition to the "tenacity" of the Chinese community, it is the emphasis on education within the family.
Fu Zhiman studies in a Chinese primary school and Fu Yiru is about to graduate from high school, so she has always done her best to tutor her brother in his studies and regards it as her responsibility.
But today, she looked at Fu Zhiman with fierce eyes, and suddenly had an idea in her mind. Whether you want to study or not, it’s none of my business? I don’t care if you die?
Fu Yiru rolled her eyes at Fu Zhiman and was about to go upstairs.
But Fu Zhiman moved sideways and stood in front of Fu Yiru.
"What? Was I right? It was that Hong Kong guy who called again, right?
Whose shares is he going to buy? Or is he going to increase capital and expand shares? If this continues, the Fu Company will probably be owned by Pei, right? "
Fu Zhiman used to own 26% of Fu's Company's shares. This time Pei Wencong increased the capital and expanded the shares, so Fu Zhiman's shares also dropped slightly.
Fu Guiru and Fu Yiru both felt that a share reduction was justified, after all, other people had invested a huge amount of real money.
But Fu Zhiman felt that he had suffered a great loss.
Because in the past, Fu Zhiman was the "decisive figure" of Fu's Company. He held 26% of the shares. Whoever he favored would gain control of Fu's Company.
But now the control is in the hands of "Mom" Fu Guiru.
As long as Fu Guiru is of one mind with Pei Wencong, the rest of the Fu family can only watch helplessly.
So he hated himself for losing the honorable title of "big brother of the family" overnight.
Fu Yiruo looked at her brother standing in front of her, and said with all her might, "Mr. Pei became the largest shareholder of Fu's company by purchasing my aunt's shares.
If the Fu company is really named Pei in the future, it will be because of my aunt. Xiaoman, you are putting the blame on my mother now. Is your conscience eaten by a dog? "
"You actually said I have no conscience?"
Fu Zhiman was furious, he pointed his short finger at Fu Yiru and said, "Even if it's wrong for my aunt to sell the shares, why did mom agree to increase the capital and expand the shares?
After the capital increase and share expansion, the interests of all the people in the Fu family suffered losses, and only my mother benefited."
"Pah~"
Fu Yiruo slapped Fu Zhiman in the face, which stunned Fu Zhiman who was chattering nonstop.
Fu Yiru shook her hands to dispel the dull pain in her palms caused by exerting too much force.
Then she said coldly: "Mom told me that this is what a sister should do. Don't glare at me in the future. If you glare at me once, I will beat you."
“.”
Fu Guiru did tell her daughter that as long as an older sister is strong enough, there is nothing she cannot do to control her younger brother.
In the past, Fu Yiru was cautious and unwilling to cause trouble for her mother due to the dominance of her aunt.
But now that my aunt has made such a big mistake and ended up in this state, why should I still have to endure her anger?
“Thump, thump, thump~”
Fu Yiru went upstairs and felt that her steps had become seven times lighter.
The slap just now made the 17-year-old girl feel so good, as if the haze that had been weighing on her heart for the past decade was shattered by the slap.
. . . . . . .
Pei Wencong received a call from Fu Guiru and rushed to Fu’s factory that evening.
After arriving at the factory, I found Fu Guiru directing the workers to trial-produce a new product.
Seeing Pei Wencong coming, Fu Guiru explained: "The workshop has normal production tasks during the day, so the new products can only be trial-produced at night. I'm really sorry to bother Mr. Pei to come over so late."
Pei Wencong shook his head and said, "This is not a big deal. I admire Ms. Fu's dedication."
Fu Guiru smiled and said, "Mr. Pei invested money in our Fu's company. We must show some results and not let the investors down."
Fu Guiru actually didn't say something. She had always had a plan to develop new products, but it was shelved due to funding issues. Now that she had money, she restarted the product development plan.
[It doesn't matter if you disappoint me! Just don't disappoint your son. ]
Pei Wencong said, "It's like this, Ms. Fu. Our head office has sent a message asking us to immediately prepare to set up a factory in the mainland. I will fly to Beijing in the mainland tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so we must discuss the details as soon as possible."
“.”
Fu Guiru was stunned for several seconds before she whispered, "Is it so urgent?"
"What? Ms. Fu, what did you say?"
"Oh, nothing," Fu Guiru said, perking up: "Let's go to the office and talk!"
When they arrived at the office, Fu Guiru took out several plans and handed them to Pei Wencong.
"I have made several business plans in the past few days. I originally wanted to discuss them with Mr. Pei some time later, but if you are in a hurry now, you can discuss it first."
Pei Wencong took the information but did not open it to read it, because he knew that the time from discussion to implementation of a plan would not meet Li Ye's requirement.
Pei Wencong looked at Fu Guiru and asked, "Does Ms. Fu know the Tiansi Pharmaceutical Group in Taiguo?"
Fu Guiru nodded and said, "I know that Mr. Xu of Tianshi Pharmaceutical Group is also a flower-growing immigrant. Two years ago, when Mr. Xu came to Lijiapo to promote their new products, I had a face-to-face conversation with him."
Pei Wencong was a little surprised, but when he thought about it, they were all Chinese people who made beverages. Mr. Xu sold "Red Bull" to Lijiaopo in 1982, so it was normal for Fu Guiru to know Mr. Xu.
Fu Guiru continued, "In addition, to be honest with you, Mr. Pei, the new product that our Fu's company is currently testing was influenced by Mr. Xu's new product.
But it is not very successful yet, if you can give us some more time."
Pei Wencong shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's too late, because the head office requires us to promote our products to the mainland before summer."
"Before summer?" Fu Guiru said in surprise, "But it's already March and there's no sign of the new factory in Pengcheng. Besides, it takes time to debug the production line. This is simply impossible."
"No, no, no, Ms. Fu, I once heard a wise man say that as long as you use your brain, everything is possible."
Pei Wencong recalled what Li Ye had said to him just now, and said one by one: "The factory in Pengcheng is easy to run. We have a cooperative unit, and the factory buildings are ready.
We can temporarily find a contract manufacturer for the canning production line. There is one in Pengcheng. We can order a new production line later. As for the products,
"Our head office intends to seek cooperation with the Tianshi Group to promote sports drinks in the mainland first, and then seek development in other areas after gaining a firm foothold."
Fu Guiru: “.”
As a beverage person, Fu Guiru could easily understand Pei Wencong's plan.
This is the trick of using chickens to lay eggs!
First, I will use my familiarity with the Tianshi Group to promote "Red Bull" to the mainland. After I have captured the market, I will launch a new product to replace it. Then I can part ways with the Tianshi Group in Taiguo in a friendly manner.
But once the beverage factories in the mainland have established themselves, will they also part ways with Fu’s company?
So Fu Guiru asked coldly: "Mr. Pei, please forgive me for being so presumptuous, what do you mean by 'seeking other plans'?"
[You ask me? You should ask your son! ]
Pei Wencong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and finally stretched out a finger.
"Ten million. The head office will give you, Ms. Fu, the authority to manage the funds of ten million US dollars. It is completely under your personal control. Do you think this sincerity is enough?"
“.”
Ms. Fu thought about it and felt that even if she sold herself, she would not be worth 10 million US dollars.
"No reason!"
Fu Guiru, there is no reason to refuse.
