Chapter 580: Brother Dong is Still Brother Dong

At this moment, a yellow minibus sped past them, followed by the sound of brakes, and then they heard someone shouting from behind.

"Zhou Andong!"

Zhou Andong turned his head and saw An Jing carrying a bag, running over in high heels.

"Where are you guys going?"

Zhou Andong said: "To eat."

An Jing smiled: "I haven't been to the hospital to see Uncle and Auntie for many days, so I thought I'd come over for a free meal. I didn't expect to almost miss you."

Yuan Liying said: "I said we should eat at home, but your Uncle and Dongzi insisted on coming out to eat."

An Jing pursed her lips and smiled, hugging Yuan Liying's arm: "It's okay to come out for a meal occasionally to satisfy a craving."

"Right!" Zhou Xiaoxin said: "Eating at home every day, why can't we come out to satisfy a craving?"

Zhou Andong said: "I almost forgot, on May 1st, Yao Jun is getting married."

An Jing said: "Dajun is getting married, I have to go back."

Zhou Andong said: "When does the Wang Fujing store open?"

An Jing said: "May 4th, Youth Day. It's a bit rushed."

"There's one more thing." Zhou Andong said: "The Rural Revitalization Assistance Plan. I plan to use Tanghezi as a pilot. I've already talked to the county, and you need to arrange for someone to go over and coordinate as soon as possible."

"Alright!" An Jing nodded: "I'll arrange it as soon as possible."

………

At this time, several people were sitting in the living room of Lan Dequan's home. It seemed there was some happy event, as everyone had a smile on their face.

A middle-aged man sighed: "Zhou Andong really has good methods, digging holes step by step to bury Sun Fuyuan."

An old man with graying hair said: "It's Sun Fuyuan who was too greedy; otherwise, how could he have ended up like this today?"

Lan Dequan smiled and said: "What I admire most about Zhou Andong is transferring the radiator factory's debt of several hundred thousand to Sun Fuyuan. It's truly a stroke of genius."

"Hahaha..."

The middle-aged man laughed out loud: "Sun Fuyuan would never have dreamed that instead of taking advantage, he ended up with a huge debt."

Lan Dequan said: "This is all his own doing; he can't blame anyone."

The gray-haired old man checked the time: "Alright, it's getting late, let's go."

The middle-aged man stood up: "It's a bit late today, so that's it. Let's find a place to have a drink tomorrow and celebrate."

………

"Cheers!"

At a roadside barbecue stall, Gao Zhen, Zhou Wang, and Peng Lin raised their glasses, clinked them together, and then tilted their heads back, drinking the beer in their glasses in one go.

"Whew!"

Zhou Wang let out a breath: "Damn it, for so many years, that old bastard Sun Fuyuan has harmed our factory enough. Today, I've finally vented the anger in my heart; it's really fucking satisfying."

Peng Lin said: "It's all in the past, don't think about those unpleasant things. As long as you follow Chairman Zhou, the future won't be bad."

Gao Zhen picked up a mutton skewer and slid it into his mouth: "Brother Dong is still Brother Dong. When he schemes against people, he's still as smooth and seamless as ever."

Peng Lin and Zhou Wang looked at each other. They acted as if they hadn't heard that and picked up their beer bottles to fill their glasses.

"Come, let's have another!"

"Clink!" The three glasses clinked together again.

This night, except for Sun Fuyuan, many people were very happy.

April 13, 1993, the 22nd day of the third lunar month, Tuesday!

7:00 PM, Coca-Cola China Headquarters, 15th-floor conference room of the Kaiyuan Building.

"Bang!"

Zhao Hongxing grabbed the Iced Bing Hong Cha in front of him and smashed it hard against the wall. Pale yellow liquid splashed out, leaving an irregular pattern on the snow-white wall.

"You all understand now, right? The purpose of the article Zhou Andong published was to force us to respond, stir up the topic, and promote his Iced Bing Hong Cha."

Jiang Yuping took a deep breath: "But we can't not respond, and headquarters won't allow us not to respond. Once the brand is damaged, the price to pay to recover it will definitely be huge."

"Son of a bitch Zhou Andong!" Zhao Hongxing cursed fiercely: "Are we really just going to be led by the nose by him?"

The middle-aged man said: "We did suffer a bit of a loss in this exchange. But next, let's have a real fight. I want to see how much capital he, Zhou Andong, has to fight us."

"Bang bang bang..."

The conference room door was knocked on. Jiang Yuping shouted: "Come in!"

A woman pushed the door open and walked in: "Manager, hurry and turn on the TV. Channel 2 is broadcasting an exclusive interview with Zhou Andong."

Jiang Yuping got up and turned on the conference room TV, tuning it to Channel 2. She saw Zhou Andong sitting on the stage with a smile, holding Iced Bing Hong Cha and drinking it.

"I don't deny that in today's era of globalization, against the backdrop of our investment promotion, cross-border acquisitions by foreign companies are very normal commercial behavior."

"But we must be vigilant. After these introduced foreign capitals acquire our national brands, they won't compete with each other, but rather share the benefits and jointly carve up..."

As time passed, everyone's faces became incomparably gloomy. But they had to admit that Zhou Andong's analysis was correct.

As long as they monopolized the market, Coke would definitely raise prices. Even if headquarters didn't raise them, they would have to, because this money would eventually end up in their own pockets.

But now, because of Zhou Andong's Iced Bing Hong Cha, this plan had completely failed.

At this moment, they saw Zhou Andong raise his Coke and say with a smile: "Don't worry about Coke raising prices, because you still have Xuri Sheng Iced Bing Hong Cha to drink."

Zhao Hongxing's eyes were bloodshot. His heart was bleeding. He stared fixedly at the image of Zhou Andong on the TV, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

His money, which was about to enter his pocket, had suddenly flown away. How could he not hate Zhou Andong to the point of gnashing his teeth?

"Bang!" Zhao Hongxing grabbed another bottle of Iced Bing Hong Cha and smashed it hard against the wall. Then he turned around and kicked the chair over.

He really had the heart to kill Zhou Andong now, but in the end, he suppressed this thought.

Seeing Zhao Hongxing's distorted and somewhat terrifying face, no one dared to speak, not even those foreigners, who sat there honestly.

"There's no need to be so angry." Jiang Yuping looked quite calm: "You're just making people look down on you like this."

Zhao Hongxing forced himself to calm down, but as soon as he saw the high-spirited Zhou Andong on TV, the anger he had just suppressed surged out violently again.

"Here, I dare to assert that by 2010, our country will surpass Japan and become the world's second-largest economy. Perhaps no one will believe it, but we are all young and can witness that day arrive with our own eyes."

"Ha!" Jiang Yuping suddenly laughed, the mockery very obvious: "He once said similar things to me. I didn't expect him to dare to say it on TV. Isn't he afraid of having his face slapped swollen in the future?" ===== CHAPTER 581 =====
