Chapter 616

~7 min read 1,301 words

At the Pepsi China headquarters, Vicky stood in front of the conference room window with her arms crossed, the two big balls seeming to be about to burst out of her clothes, a white expanse.

More than ten people sat at the conference table behind her, all looking at this sexy and beautiful superior.

Time passed bit by bit, and I don't know how long it had been before Sara couldn't help but say: "Boss, now Coke's pressure is even greater than ours, I don't think it's time to implement a price reduction strategy yet.

Although our brand image has been damaged and Chinese consumers have surged with a wave of boycotts, Iced Black Tea is a tea beverage, while Cola is a carbonated beverage.

I believe that time will slowly repair our brand image, and when that time comes, consumers who like carbonated beverages will definitely return."

Vicky turned around slowly: "How long will this time be? Currently, our market is constantly shrinking, constantly being eroded by Iced Black Tea. Once consumers get used to the taste of Iced Black Tea, how many people will return?"

Sara stopped talking, and a bald fatty said: "Even if we want to implement a price reduction, we must find the right time, and I also feel it's a bit early now."

Vicky looked at the others: "What do you mean?"

Others nodded, and a middle-aged man with yellow skin, black eyes, and black hair said.

"We have an idiom in China called 'long nights lead to many dreams', meaning that if time drags on, the situation may change unfavorably. Therefore, I support the boss's decision; since we want to implement a price reduction, we must do it early."

Another foreigner said: "Coke hasn't made any moves yet, I think we should wait a bit."

"Then let's vote by raising hands, those who support price reduction raise your hands." Vicky raised her hand, but except for that middle-aged man, no one else raised their hand.

"Fine!" Vicky said helplessly: "Let's put this matter aside for now."

Actually, she wasn't sure either, so she had to vote by raising hands, otherwise, with her power as the person in charge of the China region, she could directly execute any decision.

Only, after this matter was decided, her heart surged with a sense of unease, making her frown.

…………

The night grew deeper, Zhou Andong lay on the bed smoking, Jian Qiu lay on him, her smooth back, under the reflection of the light, could clearly see a layer of fine sweat beads.

"What are you going to America for?"

Zhou Andong said: "To poach someone, a very important person."

Jian Qiu's face was pressed against Zhou Andong's chest, listening to the powerful heartbeat, her hand unconsciously touching downward.

Zhou Andong grabbed her evil hand and said with a bitter face: "Twice already, do you want my life?"

Jian Qiu raised her head and smiled charmingly: "I just want to see, when I'm not by your side, if you went to find some fox spirit."

Zhou Andong said righteously: "Your husband is such a gentleman, comparing me to Gu Bing, you are insulting me, do you know that?"

"Pfft!" Jian Qiu smiled and kissed Zhou Andong on the lips, "I'm just saying, why are you anxious, are you feeling guilty?"

Zhou Andong said fiercely: "Actually daring to suspect your husband, family law will be served."

Jian Qiu screamed...

…………

Sunlight shone into the room through the gap in the curtains; Jian Qiu, who was hugging Zhou Andong like an octopus, moved her eyelashes, slowly opened her eyes, and then saw Zhou Andong looking at her with wide eyes.

"Ha!" Jian Qiu laughed, reached out, and pinched Zhou Andong's nose, "Why are you awake so early."

Jian Qiu's voice was lazy, with a little hoarseness, hearing it in Zhou Andong's ears, his male hormones surged instantly, and he turned over, pressing Jian Qiu under him.

Jian Qiu was shocked: "What are you doing?"

"Hehe..."

Zhou Andong said fiercely: "What am I doing? Last night's punishment hasn't ended yet..."

"Hoo!" Zhou Andong let out a long breath and lay on the bed.

Jian Qiu smiled, picked up the pillow towel to wipe the sweat on Zhou Andong's face: "I'll go take a shower first, then cook breakfast, you lie down for a while."

Saying that, Jian Qiu got out of bed naked, took the pillow towel, and went out of the bedroom.

Watching Jian Qiu go out, Zhou Andong started to bare his teeth and rub his sore waist. Fortunately, he had a good constitution; if it were someone else, he probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed.

Soon, the sound of pots and pans came from the kitchen, as well as the happy singing Jian Qiu was humming.

"Sigh!" Being a man is difficult, being a real man is even more difficult.

He got out of bed sluggishly, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and just after putting on his clothes, the door outside was knocked.

Zhou Andong opened the door and saw Gu Bing standing outside with a smile, with Wu Huilin standing beside him.

"You two..."

Gu Bing winked, and Zhou Andong smiled knowingly: "Come in."

Wu Huilin was from Hong Kong after all, and she had studied abroad, so seeing the small movements between Zhou Andong and Gu Bing, she just secretly pinched Gu Bing, but didn't act coy.

"Qiuqiu, what delicious food are you making?" Wu Huilin entered the kitchen, "Do you need my help?"

Jian Qiu said: "No need, just cooked porridge, fried a few eggs, it will be ready immediately."

Wu Huilin didn't stay idle either, found the bowl rack, and brought the bowls and chopsticks to the table.

Soon, Jian Qiu brought out a small pot of rice porridge, and then Wu Huilin brought the fried eggs and a plate of fried peanuts to the table.

The four of them had a simple breakfast, and then drove to the industrial park to check the construction progress of the factory buildings, especially the electronic factory and the brewery; now time is tight, and they are working overtime every day, working in shifts twenty-four hours a day.

For the next few days, Zhou Andong started preparing things to decorate the wedding venue; carpets are sold everywhere, mainly the flower gate, which has to be welded by someone.

As for flowers, there are no fresh flowers in this era, only plastic ones. And the plastic flower factory in Jiangzhou is the most famous in the country.

In the 1960s, plastic flowers were a high-tech technology worldwide.

And the first simulated plastic flower in New China was successfully developed by the Jiangzhou Plastic Factory.

While Zhou Andong was busy with Yao Jun's wedding, the sales of Iced Black Tea climbed steadily, rising all the way, especially the Iced Black Tea in Chinese red packaging, whose sales were unstoppable, with no one able to block it.

The sales of the two colas, with the rise in sales of Iced Black Tea, constantly shrank. And although Jianlibao's brand was damaged, it was a national brand after all; although its market share was constantly squeezed by Iced Black Tea, compared to the two colas, it could still withstand it.

May 1, 1993, the ninth day of the third lunar month, Tuesday.

Yugong Group held a press conference again, but this time the person presiding over the press conference was Man Hongshan, General Manager of Xurishang Company.

At the press conference, Man Hongshan announced that the new flavor carbonated beverage developed by Xurishang Company, Very Cola, would be on the market on May 1st, with a small bottle of 550 milliliters, and the price was only two yuan, one yuan cheaper than the two colas.
