Chapter 981
Zhou Andong was stunned, looking at Zhou Qianyi and Old Mr. Zhou surrounded by several people in a daze.
"You really didn't see it?"
Seeing Jian Qiu looked at Zhou Andong, who was stunned: "He looks very much like Grandpa, especially his eyes. If you look closely, it's like they were carved from the same mold."
Zhou Andong took a deep breath, stood up and was about to find Old Mr. Zhou, when a middle-aged man who was not tall, dressed appropriately, and wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked over, speaking in Cantonese-style Mandarin.
"Mr. Zhou, sorry to bother you, I hope you don't mind."
Zhou Andong could only suppress the anxiety in his heart, smiling and shaking hands with the middle-aged man: "It doesn't matter."
The middle-aged man introduced himself: "My surname is Wu, Wu Dahong, President of the Xiangjiang Liquor Industry General Chamber of Commerce, Chairman of the Board of Hongyun Liquor Industry Company, ancestral home is Huanggang Town, Chaozhou."
Zhou Andong understood, it is estimated that he wanted to be an agent for Jiang Xiaobai. After all, Jiang Xiaobai is very famous in the British upper class, but Xiangjiang cannot buy it. With such a huge business opportunity, Xiangjiang distributors cannot fail to see it.
"Mr. Wu, please sit!"
Zhou Andong made a gesture of invitation, and then sat down.
Wu Dahong went straight to the point: "My main purpose in returning to the mainland to attend this forum is actually to meet Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Andong smiled and said: "I understand, you want to be an agent for Jiang Xiaobai, right."
Wu Dahong also smiled: "Not just Jiang Xiaobai, but also Yugong Liquor, I hope the special supply type can also give us some every year."
Zhou Andong asked: "Will Yugong Liquor have a market in Xiangjiang?"
"Yes!" Wu Dahong said: "Jiang Xiaobai and Yugong Liquor belong to the same liquor factory. As long as the publicity is appropriate, there will definitely be a big market."
Zhou Andong pondered for a while and nodded. After all, Britain has colonized Xiangjiang for nearly a hundred years. In terms of influence, Taiwan and Xiangjiang cannot be mentioned in the same breath.
In some matters, Xiangjiang's sense of identity will be much stronger than Taiwan's. If the publicity is appropriate, the prospects of Yugong Liquor in Xiangjiang will really be very broad.
"No problem, but the output of special supply Yugong Liquor is not high, and the domestic market has also been in a state of out-of-stock. I can provide Xiangjiang with five tons of special supply type every year at most, and there is definitely no more."
Wu Dahong was a bit dissatisfied, but in the end, he had to accept it. Because he had already understood the special supply Yugong Liquor, and the domestic market was indeed unable to supply it.
And the market price of 168 had been hyped to 268, and even so, it was priceless, and one bottle was hard to find. Zhou Andong could give him five tons a year, which was indeed very sincere.
"Good!" Wu Dahong agreed, "Mr. Zhou, I will introduce another friend to you."
Wu Dahong waved to a man not far away who was thin, balding, and about fifty years old.
The man walked over with a wine glass: "Mr. Zhou, sorry to bother you."
This guy's Mandarin is very good, much better than Wu Dahong's.
"This is the Chairman of Xiangjiang Jin Fu Tang Food Co., Ltd., Mr. Wang Jinfu."
Wu Dahong introduced: "Jin Fu Tang has a hundred-year history, Jinju Drink, Xinkoufu fruit juice series, Hehuang canned food, etc., are all famous brands in Xiangjiang."
"Hello, Mr. Wang!" Zhou Andong stood up and shook hands with Wang Jinfu.
Wang Jinfu sat down: "I came here this time, like Brother Wu, intending to cooperate with Mr. Zhou to act as an agent for Iced Bing Hong Cha."
Zhou Andong was a bit puzzled. A food company with its own beverage brand, why would it want to be an agent for Iced Bing Hong Cha?
This is very unreasonable. For example, Xurishang would never act as an agent for other brands to compete with its own products.
Wang Jinfu saw Zhou Andong's confusion and sighed: "Jin Fu Tang was founded a hundred years ago, went public in 1975, and my son died accidentally in 1979. I had no intention of managing the company, so I handed it over to my younger brother."
"Who knew he was addicted to gambling, lost more than 300 million in Las Vegas in 1991, and was then exposed by competitors, causing the company's stock price to plummet."
Speaking of this, Wang Jinfu sighed again: "Family misfortune, it was only when I took over the company again that I found out he had misappropriated 120 million in company funds without authorization, invested in finance and lost everything, and the company suffered heavy losses."
"Although I tried every possible way, competitors would not give me a chance. If the company cannot make a profit next year, it will face the risk of delisting. So, I thought about looking for fresh blood to inject into the company, so that there will be hope."
Zhou Andong shook his head: "If this is the case, I will not hand over the agency rights of Iced Bing Hong Cha to you."
Wang Jinfu was stunned, and then smiled bitterly. In fact, he came here this time just to try his luck.
Because he knew very well in his heart that a brand, especially a famous brand, would never be handed over to an enterprise with negative influence and already on the verge of bankruptcy to act as an agent.
It's just that he didn't say these things, and Xurishang would definitely conduct an investigation, and he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.
"And!" Zhou Andong looked at Wang Jinfu and continued: "Just one Iced Bing Hong Cha cannot save your company."
"I understand too." Wang Jinfu was very helpless: "But I have to try."
Zhou Andong pondered for a while: "Perhaps, we can cooperate in another way."
"Hmm?" Wang Jinfu's spirit was lifted: "What way?"
Zhou Andong said: "Xurishang Company is splitting and reorganizing, preparing to go public in Xiangjiang."
Wang Jinfu understood immediately. In fact, it's not that Jin Fu Tang hasn't been acquired, but he is not reconciled to selling the company like this, and he also feels sorry for his ancestors.
But if he cooperates with Zhou Andong, it will be different. He can swap assets, retain shares, it's just a matter of how much.
And being able to become a shareholder of Xurishang, the future prospects may be better than him keeping Jin Fu Tang.
"Mr. Zhou!" Wang Jinfu first expressed his position: "I have no objection to the cooperation, but I still have to go back and discuss it with other shareholders. However, I believe they will not object."
"Okay!"
Zhou Andong smiled. Such a big thing definitely cannot be decided in a few words. It would be good if it could go public by the end of next year.
After chatting for a while, Wang Jinfu and Wu Dahong left satisfied.
Especially Wang Jinfu, the Iced Bing Hong Cha agency was not negotiated, but the final result was better.
Zhou Andong was afraid that others would come over, so he pulled Seeing Jian Qiu to find Zhou Qianyi and Old Mr. Zhou.
After wandering around, constantly greeting people he was not familiar with, he found Old Mr. Zhou not far from the door.
He was standing there chatting with two middle-aged men, while Zhou Qianyi was holding a glass of red wine, standing on the side eating pastries, and a beauty was standing next to her.
"Miss Zhou!" Zhou Andong walked over.
"Mr. Zhou!" Zhou Qianyi hurriedly patted the cake crumbs on her hands, "Sorry."
"It was me who bothered you." Zhou Andong waited until Zhou Qianyi had tidied up before saying: "May I ask, Old Mr. Zhou's name."
