Reborn Tycoon Rise

Chapter 244 United Soda

The board of directors continued for another half an hour and finally passed a resolution. Shao Yifu continued to serve as the general manager of the company, while Lijia was completely excluded from the TVB due to the veto power of the major shareholder, and could only enjoy a small dividend every year in the future.

However, anyone with a discerning eye has already seen that although Shao Yifu was able to continue to manage TVB as he wished, it was Hutchison Whampoa Company behind the scenes that controlled the company.

Li Luyanqun and his two sons were about to leave when suddenly someone came from behind: "Mrs. Li, can you wait!"

Li Lu Yanqun listened to the familiar voice, turned around to see the person clearly and said, "I wonder if Xu Sheng has any other advice?"

"You've already kicked us out of Wireless, what else do you want?" A son of the Li family said in a bad tone.

"Shut up, you all go down first." Li Lu Yanqun knew how influential this young man in front of him, who was younger than his two sons, was in Xiangjiang, so he was naturally afraid that his son would make a stupid offense.

After the two left, Li Luyanqun said: "Xu Sheng, I'm sorry."

"It's okay!" Xu Zhi said with a smile: "This board of directors is not actually targeting the Li family. I am also considering the interests of TVB. Furthermore, Mrs. Li, you should actually be very clear that your two sons really want to enter TVB. What is the purpose? Even if I don't intervene, they can't achieve their purpose. In the process, Shao Yifu may be tolerant, but in the end he will definitely not tolerate them. By then, the situation the Li family will face may be even more troublesome than now! "

"Maybe." Li Lu Yanqun also knew his son's character. He actually didn't want to participate in today's matter, but he couldn't compete with his two sons. Then he asked: "Xu Sheng stopped me just for this explanation, right?"

"No." Xu Zhi shook his head and said, "I am more interested in a company under Lijia and want to acquire it."

"Xu Sheng, do you want to acquire Hysan Real Estate?" Li Luyan's expression changed drastically. Hysan Real Estate is the core asset of the Lee Family - a street in Causeway Bay called Hysan Avenue. The family owns more than dozens of properties. Although it is not a high-rise building, the annual rent makes countless people jealous.

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "Hysan Real Estate is the core industry of the Lee family. I know you can't sell it. What I want is the United Soda Drink Factory owned by your family."

"United Soda Drink Factory, Xu Sheng wants the land under the factory?" Li Lu Yanqun seemed to understand!

"..." Xu Zhi couldn't help but was speechless for a while. It seemed that he had also been labeled as a big real estate developer. When he mentioned acquiring others, he thought he was doing it for land. He could only shake his head and said with a smile: "My main purpose of acquiring is For the soda business.”

Li Luyanqun said: "No matter what the purpose is, you can sell it, but you must take it over completely."

"No problem." Xu Zhi nodded. United Soda Company is currently the second largest soda factory in Xiangjiang, with more than 800 employees. It has its own R\u0026D department and is overall a mature soda company.

As for the number one spot in the soda industry, it is of course the Swire Group. Swire has been on Coca-Cola’s lap decades ago and has been monopolizing the markets in Hong Kong and several surrounding Asia. After a decade or so, the mainland liberalized the beverage industry. market, Swire also monopolized the business in several provinces.

At present, Swire's beverage factories mainly produce OEM products for Coca-Cola. During the 1978 reform and opening up in the Mainland, the first batch of Coca-Cola introduced came from Swire's factories.

However, no matter how big the OEM is, it is just an OEM. Xu Zhi is obviously more optimistic about Lijia's United Soda Drink Factory. In the original history, after Li Xiaohe passed away, Li Luyanqun relied on his excellent business vision to judge that the soda drink industry was inevitable. will decline because most people have begun to eat healthily and prefer low sugar and low calories, so she decided to abandon the soda factory and sold the factory land to Chen Songqing and the soda business to Yang Xiecheng.

Later facts also proved the correctness of her vision. After Yang Xiecheng bought the United Soda Drink Factory, it suffered losses for 12 consecutive years and finally closed down.

However, for Xu Zhi, a well-established beverage company is what he needs most. Does he know the future development direction? After Yang Xiecheng took over the soda factory, he still focused the market on Xiangjiang, and also launched high-sugar drinks, plus the labor costs in Xiangjiang. With soaring prices, it’s hard not to fail.

Li Luyanqun said: "Since we have no problem here, Xu Sheng can arrange for the acquisition team to go to the soda water factory to verify the information. I will consider the specific price again."

"Of course." Xu Zhi nodded and agreed. When he suddenly proposed the acquisition, the other party would naturally have to reconsider the price. As long as he agreed, the rest was naturally a matter for the lawyers and acquisition teams of both parties.

After returning to the company, Xu Zhi told Yao Mingcheng about the acquisition of the United Soda Drink Factory.

"Xu Sheng, the competition in the beverage market is very fierce now. The two major cola companies have almost monopolized all beverage categories, and their financial resources are much stronger than ours. If we enter this industry, we may not be able to guarantee our profits!" Yao Mingcheng He said rather tactfully that he already understood Xu Zhi's character. If he was not preparing to enter the beverage field on a large scale, he would not be able to personally participate in this kind of thing. You must know that even for a company as big as Hutchison Whampoa, he only interferes with some financial reports and major issues. Just an investment.

"I know that Coca-Cola is naturally inferior to Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola, but I have another trick. Go to Thailand immediately and find a Thai-Chinese named Xu Subiao. He owns a Red Bull beverage company that produces a drink that can It’s a refreshing drink. After you find him, find a way to buy this drink from his company.”

"Xu Subiao." Yao Mingcheng remembered it and asked, "Does Xu Sheng know which city in Thailand he is in?"

"I don't know, just go look for it based on this information. He has a name and a career, and he is of Chinese origin. He must be a unique person. You can spend some money locally and hire some intermediaries to find it." Xu Zhi said helplessly, It would be good if he knew the name of the person. Who knows where Xu Subiao is now.

Yao Mingcheng said: "Is this drink special? Can it help us?"

"Don't worry about it yet." Xu Zhi waved his hand and said, "This matter is more important. You go to Thailand in person to implement this matter."

After saying that, Xu Zhi took out something similar to a Big Brother phone from the drawer, handed it to Yao Mingcheng and said, "This is a satellite phone. You can call me directly. You must report to me any negotiations with the other party at any time."

Yao Mingcheng took it, looked at it for a while and said: "This thing is very expensive to use. The hotel in Thailand also has a phone."

"It's only a few dollars a minute. You don't have to save this money." Xu Zhi waved his hand and said: "In Thailand, except for a few cities such as Bangkok, which can use the current mobile communication equipment, other places can only use ordinary telephones. This satellite The phone number is for you to contact me if you need it urgently during the negotiation. There is no need to save such a small amount of money."

Yao Mingcheng carefully put away the satellite phone, stood up and said, "Okay, then I will prepare to go to Thailand immediately."

Xu Zhi nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, then you can take a trip after all the hard work!"
