Chapter 2321

"We haven't received any feedback yet!" Man Hongshan shook his head slowly, then continued: "Before, you told me that Coca-Cola was pitted very miserably in India. I specifically entrusted some media friends to help check it out. Although the information they fed back to me wasn't particularly detailed, this matter is indeed true."

Speaking of this, Man Hongshan took a sip of porridge with a spoon, and then continued: "Therefore, I personally think that even if Coca-Cola wants to re-enter the Indian market, the possibility won't be very high in the next three to five years. After all, they suffered such a big loss in India before, so they will definitely have concerns."

If it followed the normal historical development trajectory, the time for Coca-Cola to re-enter the Indian market was indeed a few years later. Therefore, Zhou Andong couldn't be sure whether that President of Coca-Cola Greater China, Mr. Zhao Hongxing, had the ability to persuade Coca-Cola to enter India in advance.

"Proceed according to the normal investment investigation procedure." Zhou Andong said thoughtfully: "Talk as you should talk. If there is no movement from Coca-Cola after two months, we will find a suitable reason to reject them and then go directly to Singapore."

Man Hongshan nodded slightly, asking: "Have you contacted Mr. Guo?"

"Not yet!" Zhou Andong swallowed what was in his mouth: "I will contact him in these two days. After Xurishang goes public, you can go to Singapore personally to contact Guo Qizheng first."

"After the matter in India ends, the investigation team can go directly to Singapore from there. With your prior contact, they can enter the negotiation procedure directly after arriving."

"Okay!" Man Hongshan nodded and agreed.

Next, Zhou Andong and Man Hongshan chatted about matters related to Xurishang going public, focusing on the company's IPO roadshow. Since Xurishang prepared to go public, natural person shareholders like Andy Lau had been actively promoting Xurishang.

And this time, Man Hongshan personally led the team to go, aiming to represent the official launch of the publicity activities, fully demonstrating the company's strength to the capital market, attracting investors' attention, and winning their support.

Just as the two were chatting, Gu Bing entered the dining room. He saw Man Hongshan and others and couldn't help but freeze, his face revealing surprise: "Man Lao, why are you here?"

"Gu Dong!"

"Gu Dong!"

"Gu Dong!"

"..."

Several high-level executives of Xurishang saw this and stood up one after another, greeting Gu Bing enthusiastically.

Gu Bing smiled, waved his hand, signaling everyone not to be restrained: "Sit, sit, you eat your own, don't be polite at home."

Man Hongshan quickly drank the last mouthful of porridge in his bowl, set down his chopsticks lightly, and said slowly: "Xurishang officially goes public on the 20th. We are going to Xiangjiang tomorrow and will start publicity work the day after tomorrow."

Gu Bing realized: "I actually forgot about this."

Zhou Andong also finished his breakfast, wiped his mouth with a napkin, then raised his head and asked Man Hongshan: "When do Wu Zong and Qian Dong plan to go to Xiangjiang?"

"They plan to arrive in Xiangjiang on the 18th and hold a press conference before going public on the 19th. Wu Zong will personally host the press conference." Man Hongshan said while taking a cigarette out of his pocket and handing one to Zhou Andong.

"Chairman, actually everyone hopes that you can go to Xiangjiang personally. After all, with your influence, it will definitely bring more attention and influence to the company's listing."

Zhou Andong took the cigarette, took out his lighter and lit it, then took a deep puff: "It's enough for Wu Zong to represent the group. She is from Xiangjiang, and it will be easier for Xiangjiang citizens to trust her and trust the market if she hosts the press conference. By comparison, my going there might not necessarily have a better effect than Wu Zong."

By the time Gu Bing finished breakfast, it was almost eight o'clock. Zhou Andong looked at the time: "Then that's it. You guys have nothing to do today, so you can stroll around."

Man Hongshan shook his head and said: "I looked at the weather forecast, and the temperature in the capital is thirty-three or thirty-four degrees again today. They can stroll if they want, I'll stay in the hotel and blow the air conditioning."

Zhou Andong smiled, just about to speak, when Zhou Anqin pushed open the dining room door and walked in. She clearly hadn't expected there to be so many people in the dining room and couldn't help but pause slightly.

"Brother, Fifth Brother, Man Lao!" Zhou Anqin hurriedly greeted everyone, but didn't know the other high-level executives of Xurishang, so Zhou Andong introduced them.

Looking at the Chairman's sister, the eldest princess of the Zhou family, no one dared to be big, and they stood up one after another to shake hands and greet her.

"Vice President Liu, Vice President Zhao, Minister Xiao..." Zhou Anqin responded very politely.

Watching his sister who was becoming more and more atmospheric and confident, Zhou Andong was very comforted and asked with concern: "Don't you have class today? Why did you suddenly run back?"

Zhou Anqin pulled the chair in front of her out and sat down: "We officially went on vacation on the 1st, and the classmates have basically left. I have nothing to do staying at school. I can't go out to play, so I can only come home and stay for a few days."

At this time, Aunt Hong, Sister Liu, and Sister Zhao hurried out of the kitchen, holding breakfast and bowls and chopsticks, placing them on the table one by one.

"Then just stay at home. Wen Sancao's matter will be solved soon." Zhou Andong stood up, put the bowls and chopsticks in front of Zhou Anqin, and picked up a dumpling for her: "Is the China Tower designed?"

"Completed!" Zhou Anqin nodded: "The Dean and several experts are leading the team to explore the geology in Shanghai. It is estimated that a specific construction plan will be available by the end of the year."

Zhou Andong didn't continue on this issue, but said: "I need to design dozens of costumes and wedding dresses. This task is handed to you. Rest assured, I won't let you work for nothing, I will give you a design fee."

Zhou Anqin put down the chopsticks she had just picked up and looked at her brother helplessly: "Although I study design, my major is architectural design, mainly researching knowledge in space layout, structural safety, and material selection."

"And fashion design is completely different. It needs to involve multiple fields such as fabric selection, color matching, and fashion trends. Therefore, although both belong to the design category, the professional skills and knowledge systems have a world of difference."

Speaking of this, Zhou Anqin shook her head helplessly: "Simply put, letting me design clothes is like letting a chef build a house; it's completely irrelevant!"

For Zhou Andong, the design fee didn't matter, he was doing this to pave the way for Zhou Anqin. Since he acquired the Jiangzhou Textile Factory and now served as the Factory Director of the Woolen Mill, he naturally hoped that his sister could shine in the fields of architectural design and fashion design, achieving brilliant results.

In this way, she herself would have huge fame in related fields, whether she entered society or, as Old An hoped, read for a doctorate and stayed at school to teach, these would all be her huge capital.

But Zhou Andong still thought about this matter too simply. He thought that since they were both in the design field, there must be common ground. Although Zhou Anqin's major was architectural design, she should also understand fashion design.

Zhou Andong reached out and took the ashtray to his front, then flicked the ash, and still asked unremittingly: "You don't understand at all?"

"Understand, I understand a little!" Zhou Anqin nodded: "I know a few seniors who are studying fashion design. When there is nothing to do, I will follow them to audit classes."

"Understanding a little is enough!" Zhou Andong took a puff of his cigarette and said: "I will provide you with ideas and suggestions. By then, you contact a few classmates who have good relationships and are in the fashion design field. You will serve as the design director and complete the design."

Zhou Anqin nodded and agreed: "If you think I can do it, then there is no problem."

Zhou Andong laughed: "I will register a design company for you in these two days. First, finish the work I handed to you, and then I will hand you a big job. By then, the name Zhou Anqin will definitely be famous throughout the world."

Zhou Anqin put down her chopsticks and looked at her brother helplessly: "Are you asking me to change my major and study fashion design?"

"If I ask you to change your major and study fashion design, won't your godfather, Old An, kill his way to the door to settle accounts with me?" Zhou Andong pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray: "However, even if you don't change your major, you must set aside time to study hard in fashion design."

"Fine!" Zhou Anqin didn't oppose: "I am quite interested in fashion design, and I will set aside more time to study in the future." ===== CHAPTER 2322 =====
