Chapter 450

Zhou Andong said: "What are you still stunned for? Hurry up and thank Young Master Pu."

"Ah? Ah!" Old Liu reacted and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, thank you!"

Pu Zhenrong waved his hand generously: "Small money, what's there to thank!"

Zhou Andong gave a thumbs up: "Young Master Pu, generous!"

"You brat are really hypocritical." Pu Zhenrong snorted. "You say I'm generous with your mouth, but who knows how you're cursing me for being a fool in your heart."

"You are too small-minded." Zhou Andong sighed and greeted: "Let's go!"

Everyone returned to the factory headquarters. There was nowhere to stay, so they could only go to the conference room. Zhou Andong and Gu Bing had nothing to do, so they all came over, chatting about everything under the sun.

Just past nine o'clock, Gu Qing, Old Man Man, Qian Zhen, and even Liu Qingjun from the electronics factory all arrived.

"Although it's not time yet, since everyone is here, let's start." Zhou Andong glanced at the quartz clock hanging on the wall. "Actually, there's no major event. It's just that after the group is established, there will be adjustments to board members and positions in various departments. I'm just giving everyone a heads-up first."

Everyone's spirits lifted. They had been waiting for this day with bated breath.

This year, the liquor factory had truly been in a precarious situation, and reaching this point had not been easy.

Zhou Andong said: "After the group is established, several departments will be set up.

Administrative Office: Responsible for overall company coordination, including systems, reception, meetings, etc., belonging to the company's central decision-making department.

Human Resources Department: Company personnel, training, labor and capital, attendance, insurance, professional titles, etc.

Finance Department: Expense income and expenditure, budget and final accounts, industrial and commercial taxation, etc.

Production Technology Department: Company production technology management, technological innovation, equipment maintenance and repair costs, quality inspection and supervision.

Planning and Marketing Department: Market marketing, operations, customer service, etc.

Safety Supervision Department: Safety production management and supervision.

There are other departments, Party and Mass Work Department, Labor Union Office, Security Department, Logistics Department, etc..."

The meeting lasted for more than two hours. Although the list of positions was not announced, everyone already had an idea in their hearts.

Those present, even if they didn't enter the board of directors, would certainly be able to hold important positions in various departments of the group.

Everyone had a smile on their face, whispering and chatting in low voices.

Zhou Andong tapped the table with his finger, and it became quiet below.

"Everyone's positions will certainly be adjusted. After going back, think carefully about the candidates to succeed you."

After speaking, Zhou Andong tilted his head and looked at Gu Bing: "Do you want to say a few words? This is your last time speaking as the factory secretary."

Gu Bing said with a smile: "Then shall I say a few words?"

"Say it!" Zhou Andong was curious about what this guy could say.

Gu Bing scanned the room and then said: "Meeting adjourned!"

"Ah?" Everyone was listening intently, and hearing Gu Bing say the meeting was adjourned, they were stunned.

"Ha!" Zhou Andong couldn't help but laugh: "I didn't expect our Secretary Gu to have such a humorous side."

At this time, everyone also reacted and laughed loudly, and the atmosphere suddenly became cheerful.

Zhou Andong looked at Old Man Man: "Old Man Man, how is the black tea coming along?"

Old Man Man said: "We've adjusted it twice more, and the taste is getting better each time. There's certainly no problem with it hitting the market next summer."

Zhou Andong asked again: "What about the brand registration?"

Old Man Man said: "It's already being done."

Zhou Andong nodded: "What about the bottling line?"

Old Man Man said: "Our factory has two abandoned bottling lines. Although they are old, they can still be used, so we can use them first. If sales are good, it won't be too late to buy more."

Zhou Andong shook his head and said: "No need to buy. We can lease a bottling plant or have it produced, which can quickly occupy the market."

Old Man Man's eyes lit up: "This method is good."

Zhou Andong smiled. Of course it's good. In his previous life, Xurisheng occupied the market quickly in this way.

From hitting the market to annual sales exceeding two billion, it only took a short time, staging a myth of iced tea.

Zhou Andong believed that with iced black tea in his hands, such a miracle would certainly not be needed.

"Develop the product as soon as possible." Zhou Andong said confidently: "It's best if we start production after the New Year. Even if we stop two bottling lines for Yugong liquor, we must stockpile a batch of iced black tea."

Old Man Man said: "Okay, we'll try our best."

Zhou Andong said: "Also pay attention to rest. It doesn't matter if you can't finish it; as long as it can hit the market in the month, just don't ruin your health."

At the same time, at the Bawangsi Soda Factory, Gu Xiangjun stretched out his hand with a smile on his face.

"Manager Jiang, happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation!" Jiang Yuping shook hands with Gu Xiangjun: "We can sign the contract tomorrow."

Gu Xiangjun said: "We will also invite media reporters to attend the signing ceremony."

Jiang Yuping smiled: "No problem."

The leaders of the soda factory were all extremely happy. Secretary Dang Xiangqun said with a chuckle: "Manager Jiang, the banquet is ready, let's go over."

Jiang Yuping checked the time: "Okay!"

After dinner, Jiang Yuping returned to the hotel, picked up the phone and called Zhao Hongxing: "The negotiations are over, we'll sign the contract tomorrow."

Zhao Hongxing asked: "So fast?"

Jiang Yuping smiled: "Bawangsi is even more anxious than us. They agreed to all the conditions we put forward."

Zhao Hongxing also smiled: "After signing the contract tomorrow, you go directly to Qingdao and negotiate for Laoshan Cola."

"Okay!" Jiang Yuping agreed and hung up the phone.

"Phew!" Jiang Yuping let out a long breath, finally exhaling the stifled anger of being intercepted by Pepsi.

December 30, 1992, the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Thursday!

Zhou Andong entered the factory headquarters yawning. Just as he reached the fourth floor, he saw Gu Bing coming out of the office holding a teacup.

"What's going on with you these two days?" Zhou Andong asked. "You don't come to me for meals in the morning, and I can't even see your shadow at night."

Gu Bing said: "Nothing much, just accompanying Pu Zhenrong to stroll around and see the historical sites of our Jiangzhou."

"Cut the crap!" Zhou Andong walked to his office. "In the middle of winter, what's there to stroll around? You two guys definitely haven't been doing anything good."

Gu Bing hurriedly denied: "Why don't you believe me? We really just strolled around to take a look."

"Hmm?" Zhou Andong turned his head and stared fixedly at Gu Bing.

Gu Bing grinned unnaturally: "What are you looking at me for?"

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "I was just saying it casually, and you're actually so nervous. It seems you really haven't been doing anything good."

Gu Bing changed the subject: "Ah, I haven't even washed my face this morning. Let me go wash my face first." After speaking, he hurriedly walked toward the restroom.

"You two guys are really not loyal. You went out to play and didn't even call me."

Zhou Andong complained, entered the office with a sigh, took off his cotton-padded jacket, poured himself a cup of tea, sat down, and picked up the Provincial Daily.

"Hmm?" Zhou Andong looked at the big headline on the newspaper: Coca-Cola Acquires Bawangsi Soda.

What surprised him wasn't this news, but the photo of the Coca-Cola negotiation representative in the newspaper.

Although it was a bit blurry and even distorted, after all, they had lived together for so many years, so he recognized at a glance that this was Jiang Yuping.
