Chapter 1100: Acquiring Jin Fu Tang

During this period, Zhou Andong's name in Xiangjiang couldn't be called a household name, but for most people, it was absolutely deafening.

Therefore, with Zhou Andong's fame rising, the Yugong Group also became famous in Xiangjiang.

However, everyone knew that the Yugong Group made white liquor, but no one knew what brands they had, including these reporters.

Hearing at this moment from Zhou Andong's mouth that Jiang Xiaobai was a brand under the Yugong Group made them feel shocked.

Especially those Hong Kong waste, who found it very difficult to accept emotionally. Because they had always thought that Jiang Xiaobai was a brand from Taiwan or Singapore.

That the wine liked by those high-class gentlemen, princesses, and British masters was actually brewed in the mainland—how could this be possible?

But they also knew in their hearts that Zhou Andong couldn't be lying. Because such things are easy to verify. If he lied, Zhou Andong's reputation would definitely be damaged; no one would be so stupid as to lie about such things.

"I really didn't expect Jiang Xiaobai to be a brand under the Yugong Group."

A woman in her thirties, very beautiful, said, and then asked.

"Mr. Zhou, you mentioned Xuri Sheng Iced Bing Hong Cha, and you mentioned Jiang Xiaobai. Are these two products going to land in Xiangjiang?"

Zhou Andong looked at the female reporter; this woman's reaction was really fast.

"Yes, the Yugong Group has reached a cooperation with Hongyun Liquor Company. At the end of the year, Jiang Xiaobai and Jiang Xiaomei will land in Xiangjiang."

Some reporters who liked to drink became excited. Jiang Xiaobai was truly something they could look at but not seek.

Didn't expect that at the end of the year, Jiang Xiaobai would land in the Xiangjiang market, which made them very expectant.

Of course, some people also noticed the name Jiang Xiaomei.

"Mr. Zhou, is Jiang Xiaomei also white liquor?" a male reporter asked.

"Right!" Zhou Andong nodded. "I can tell you very responsibly that what Princess Irene likes to drink most is Jiang Xiaomei."

Princess Irene had the highest popularity in the royal family, especially last year, when she stayed in Xiangjiang for a few days, and Xiangjiang people were very familiar with her.

Zhou Andong didn't mind at all pulling Irene's tiger skin to make a banner, and he had a premonition that here, Jiang Xiaomei might be more popular than Jiang Xiaobai.

Sure enough, many women's eyes lit up. Princess Irene liked to drink Jiang Xiaomei; this wine definitely couldn't be bad.

"Also," Zhou Andong continued: "Jiangzhou Yugong Liquor, which has a long history, will also land in the Xiangjiang market. Why is this wine called Jiangzhou Yugong?

Because in ancient times it was tribute liquor, and after the founding of New China, it became the national liquor, the designated liquor for state banquets. It's just that production is limited, and it is supplied in limited quantities in the country. It was Mr. Wu Hongda, Chairman of the Xiangjiang Liquor Industry General Chamber of Commerce, who requested it, and I agreed to supply the Xiangjiang market in limited quantities every year."

Zhou Andong bluffed a lot. Regardless of whether these uncrowned kings of Xiangjiang believed it or not, he had to let them know that Jiangzhou Yugong Liquor was very awesome.

"But ah, I came to Xiangjiang this time, not because white liquor is launching in Xiangjiang."

"Ah?" A female reporter asked hurriedly: "Then what is it for?"

"Last night, Xuri Sheng and Jin Fu Tang reached a negotiation to acquire Jin Fu Tang for $26 million."

The scene suddenly went quiet, and then it exploded with a bang.

Zhou Andong's words were truly earth-shattering.

Jin Fu Tang was a century-old enterprise, and its brands had special feelings for Xiangjiang people, especially the elderly.

But they never thought that an enterprise from the mainland would acquire Jin Fu Tang.

At this moment, it wasn't just those Hong Kong waste; even those born and raised, who had no hostility toward the mainland, felt a burst of sadness in their hearts.

But as reporters, they of course knew Jin Fu Tang's predicament. Being acquired by a capable enterprise was the only way out.

Zhou Andong looked at the reaction at the scene, a smile that was hard to detect appearing on his face.

Last night, he received a call from Old Man Man, saying he had already signed the acquisition agreement with Wang Jinfu, the boss of Jin Fu Tang.

Originally, he thought about announcing it in a few days, but he didn't expect to be blocked by reporters today, so he took this opportunity to announce it.

"After acquiring Jin Fu Tang, Xuri Sheng Iced Bing Hong Cha will land in the Xiangjiang market and be listed."

A middle-aged man asked: "Mr. Zhou, will you retain Jin Fu Tang's products?"

"Yes!" Zhou Andong's expression was very serious: "Jin Fu Tang is a century-old enterprise, and its beverages have not declined for a hundred years, proving that the taste is no problem. But now there is a problem, that is absolutely not because of the product, but because of the company's strategic management and marketing.

Therefore, Xuri Sheng will make adjustments to these problems. When the time comes, it will be listed with a brand-new image. Of course, not just Xiangjiang, I will also let the people of the country drink Jin Fu Tang's beverages."

Applause rang out instantly. Zhou Andong's words gave them some comfort in their hearts.

"Tomorrow, everyone can go buy some Jin Fu Tang stocks."

Hearing Zhou Andong's words, everyone's eyes lit up. Jin Fu Tang being acquired by Xuri Sheng—once this matter is reported, Jin Fu Tang's stock will definitely soar. This opportunity must absolutely not be missed.

Of course, when writing the news draft, they must focus on introducing the Yugong Group and Jiang Xiaobai, because no one knew Xuri Sheng.

"Mr. Zhou!" At this time, the TVB beauty continued to hold the microphone and asked: "Just now, you said that Xuri Sheng Iced Bing Hong Cha will land in the Xiangjiang market and be listed."

"Right!" Zhou Andong nodded: "This is also the main purpose of Xuri Sheng acquiring Jin Fu Tang."

The beauty continued to ask: "Will Jiang Xiaobai be listed too?"

Zhou Andong blinked: "Do you hope Jiang Xiaobai will also be listed in Xiangjiang?"

"Of course!" The beauty smiled: "If Jiang Xiaobai is listed, I will take out all my savings to buy Jiang Xiaobai stocks."

It wasn't just this TVB beauty reporter; others had the same idea.

Jiang Xiaobai was too famous. As long as it is listed, the stock will definitely soar.

Zhou Andong smiled: "Jiang Xiaobai will be listed in Xiangjiang, at the end of next year, or early 1995."

The topics they were talking about made those Hong Kong waste very dissatisfied, especially that sharp-mouthed one.

"Mr. Zhou!" He couldn't wait any longer. "Your speech and answers to reporters at the mainland Entrepreneurs Forum have caused a lot of negative public opinion in Xiangjiang.

You said that China has a history of thousands of years, I don't deny this, but do you admit the fact that your country is a thief?"

Zhou Andong narrowed his eyes. He knew that today's interview wouldn't be so smooth; there would definitely be some Hong Kong waste kneeling clans causing trouble.

"Then you tell me, what has China stolen?"

The sharp-mouthed one sneered: "Stealing high-tech technology from Western countries, such as missiles, such as satellites, and the VCD that was just developed, is stealing Japanese technology.

Do you know, I, including many of my friends, heard you say that China is a civilized country, even more civilized than the West. We almost laughed to death. A thief, actually saying he is civilized, are you telling a joke?" ===== CHAPTER 1101 =====
