Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

"I bought this at a nearby supply and marketing cooperative. This cola tastes exactly like our Coca-Cola and is obviously made from the same formula. I suspect someone has stolen our company's core formula. This is commercial theft! I must hold the other party accountable!"

Smith questioned the top management of Hualiang very angrily.

The Coca-Cola formula can be said to be the cash cow of Coca-Cola Company.

Now that the formula has been leaked, it's like someone is digging up the roots of their own cash cow.

The seriousness of this matter is self-evident.

No wonder Smith was so angry.

If the formula is leaked, how can I make money by monopolizing the market?

The top management of Hualiang looked at each other in surprise.

The Coca-Cola formula has been leaked and is now being obtained and produced by people in China.

This sounds so incredible.

"Mr. Smith, we also need to investigate this matter. Your formula is kept strictly confidential, so it shouldn't be stolen."

This was actually a bit embarrassing and Smith didn't know how to respond.

But Coca-Cola's formula is kept very secret.

In the early days, the formulas were locked in a safe, and special security guards were hired to monitor it 24 hours a day.

Not to mention the current confidentiality measures, which will only be stricter.

They knew only too well how much wealth this formula could bring them.

"I will report this to our company when I return. Now I need to know who else knows the formula of Coca-Cola."

Smith also couldn't understand why Coca-Cola Corporation spent hundreds of thousands of dollars every year just on keeping the formula secret.

There is no possibility of leakage.

It can't be possible that the other party developed it themselves.

Smith couldn't imagine that Wang Jianjun was a time traveler with supernatural powers.

Any so-called top-secret formula cannot escape his gaze.

Hualiang Company naturally agreed to this matter.

With the help of Hualiang’s people, all the information about Feifan Cola was soon thoroughly investigated.

Among them are the information of Wang Jianjun and Shen Chuxia.

The people at Hualiang then discovered that this extraordinary cola had already appeared in Beijing for several months.

Moreover, the price of Viva Cola is only 20 cents, which is more than half the price of Coca-Cola.

The people at Hualiang suddenly realized that since the two types of colas were the same, there was no need for them to go looking for foreign colas.

Wouldn't it be better to just promote your own products?

Smith flew back to his country as soon as he got the information about Coca-Cola.

Also included were the twenty boxes of Vita Cola he bought.

When the senior executives of Coca-Cola heard Smith's report, their first thought was that Smith was talking nonsense.

At this time, the formula of Coca-Cola is locked in a safe in the basement of the headquarters.

The concrete walls of the basement are one meter thick, and the steel bars inside are five times the amount.

Such high-level confidentiality measures can only be achieved if the two senior executives who manage the keys betray them at the same time.

Otherwise, there is no possibility of leakage.

But after those people drank the extraordinary cola that Smith brought back.

Their expressions were filled with shock and horror.

They immediately had someone take control of the two people who were in charge of the keys.

Not only that, even the Coca-Cola canning factories were shut down.

Any worker who had access to cola syrup production in the factory was arrested.

Everyone has a question mark on their face.

After knowing what happened, everyone started to cry out for justice.

They really don't know about this.

But it's no use complaining now.

Those senior executives now see everyone as a corporate spy.

Among them, the two senior executives who managed the keys suffered the most.

As the biggest suspects, they were directly isolated and interrogated.

But no matter how the interrogation is carried out, there is still the same result in the end.

No one admitted that they did it.

Because there was no evidence, Coca-Cola finally conducted a top-down self-examination.

After this investigation, the entire company was thrown into panic.

The news of the leak of Coca-Cola's secret recipe eventually spread like wildfire, directly causing Coca-Cola's stock to plummet.

In addition to investigating the traitor, Coca-Cola is also planning to use diplomatic relations to find ways to sanction Viva Cola.

At least we cannot allow China to continue producing Coca-Cola.

You have to know that for every bottle of Coke sold in China, Coca-Cola will lose a few cents.

They can't afford such a huge loss.

Just when Coca-Cola Company was getting anxious.

On the Chinese side, people from the Hualiang Company also came to the Coca-Cola factory to discuss cooperation with Wang Jianjun.

As soon as Ma Hua learned about this, he called Wang Jianjun.

Because he was too excited, Ma Hua stuttered for a long time on the phone before he could give a general idea of ​​what happened.

Wang Jianjun could also understand that he suddenly had the opportunity to cooperate with such a large company.

Anyone would be excited.

Ma Hua used to be a small buyer in a steel mill.

The highest-ranking leader I have ever come into contact with is the head of the purchasing department.

After Wang Jianjun learned the news, he rode his motorcycle directly to the Coke canning factory.

In the reception room, Wang Jianjun also met with the representative of Hualiang.

A middle-aged man in his forties.

But the moment he saw the other person, Wang Jianjun couldn't help but frown.

The person sent by Hualiang made him a little unhappy.

Because the arrogance in the other person's eyes could not be hidden at all.

That is the attitude of a person who has been in a high position for a long time looking at an ordinary person.

They appear polite on the surface, but actually they don't take you seriously at all.

Wang Jianjun also realized that this cooperation might not be very smooth.

"Comrade Wang Jianjun, right? I'm the business manager of Hualiang, my name is Huang Binglin. I came here mainly to discuss cooperation with you."

Wang Jianjun also didn't want to make the relationship with the other party too stiff.

So he politely invited him to sit down and have tea.

As for the content of the cooperation, let’s listen first.

If you are not satisfied, the worst that can happen is that you will not cooperate.

"Manager Huang, I don't know what kind of cooperation method you are talking about."

"Comrade Wang Jianjun, you should also know our Hualiang Company's sales channels in China. To be honest, as long as we want, we have a way to sell any product to all supply and marketing cooperatives in China."

Huang Binglin was not in a hurry to talk about the conditions of cooperation, but instead praised himself.

Wang Jianjun didn't think there was anything unreasonable in what the other party said.

After all, it is an official enterprise.

We really have this ability.

It's just that you said this to me as soon as you came, and I always felt like there was something else behind your words.

"Manager Huang, if you have anything to say, you can just tell me directly. I don't like beating around the bush."

Huang Binglin was obviously stunned when he heard Wang Jianjun's words.

He then smiled and said:

"Okay, since you've said that, I won't beat around the bush. We at Hualiang want to form a joint venture with your Shen's Catering Group to establish a cola company that belongs to our country."
