Chapter 352
"Okay, Mr. Li, I will solve the problem in Malaysia as soon as possible, and then fly directly to the capital."
"This opportunity is very important. If we grasp it, we will get twice the result with half the effort. If we miss it, we can only follow others and strive to catch up."
"Mr. Li, don't worry. I stayed with the big boss of the Sports Department at the National Day ceremony last year, and we also talked on the phone during the New Year. I think the problem is not big."
"Then you hurry up."
"Okay, okay."
Li Ye hung up the phone and couldn't help but smile, feeling quite emotional about the twists and turns.
Last year, Pei Wencong went to the National Day ceremony, and Li Ye was envious, jealous, and hateful. After all, he was a little kid and really didn't have the qualifications.
But now Li Ye only felt lucky. Fortunately, Pei Wencong went to the National Day ceremony, and fortunately, the mainland was "culture and sports are not separated," allowing Pei Wencong, a cultured person, to get familiar with the big bosses in the sports world.
If '84 was the opening year of mainland private enterprises, then the explosion of popularity in the mainland sports world was the 23rd Los Angeles Olympic Games.
The mainland delegation participated in the Olympic Games for the first time and won 15 gold, 8 silver, and 9 bronze medals, ranking 4th in the medal table, giving a super stimulant to the Middle Kingdom people who were in urgent need of national self-confidence.
And taking advantage of the east wind of this Olympic Games, the "Oriental Magic Water" Jianlibao was born, becoming the permanent memory of a generation.
As China's first electrolyte sports drink, Jianlibao was not cheap. The ordinary 355ml aluminum can packaging sold for 3 yuan,
but this did not hinder its "magic," occupying the top of the mainland high-end beverage market for nearly twenty years.
If Old Li hadn't been too eager later, perhaps he wouldn't have let foreign brands come from behind and beat the mainland beverage brands to pieces.
Li Ye originally didn't have the idea of building a "beverage empire," because the threshold of the beverage industry was not low, and it was not so easy to get started. It was even more difficult to earn foreigners' money.
Functional beverages still had some technical content. For example, Jianlibao was the result of the joint efforts of Sanshui Winery and three colleges and research institutes, based on the research results of a professor at the Guangzhou Sports Medical College, and determined the ingredients after many experiments.
You can't just make some sugar water and add some melatonin, and play "if you give a gift, give xxx," right?
But the appearance of Hearing Fu Guiru, and the "prestige" of foreign brands in the mainland in later generations, made Li Ye change his mind temporarily.
The beverage market is an important gold-digging place for the mainland food industry and can be called a dark horse.
The development of the mainland beverage industry started in the 1980s and took only twenty years to complete the entire development process of the beverage industry in European and American countries for eighty years.
In 1982, the state included beverages in the "National Planned Management Products."
In 1983, the sales volume of the "Eight Major Soda Factories" accounted for 42% of the national total output.
Beijing's Arctic Ocean, Jinmen's Shanhaiguan, Shanghai's Zhengguanghe, Guangzhou's Asia, Fengtian's Bawangsi, Sichuan and Chongqing's Tianfu Cola, Dongshan's Laoshan Cola, and Henan's Shaolin Cola all once had a moment of glory.
But the sum of these eight giants might not be enough for Jianlibao to fight, and after decades of struggle, those who could survive were lucky ones. Wanting to arm-wrestle with foreign capital was all powerless.
So this time, Li Ye wanted to try, wanted to try how much he, this transmigrator, was worth, and whether he could change history.
After Pei Wencong in Malaysia hung up Li Ye's phone, he pondered for a moment and dialed the phone at Hearing Fu Guiru's house.
Based on his understanding of Li Ye, any matter that Li Ye handed down was an opportunity with dazzling golden luck. Li Ye urged him to hurry, and he didn't dare to wait overnight.
"Hello, I'm looking for Ms. Hearing Fu Guiru."
"May I ask who you are?"
As soon as Pei Wencong heard the girl's voice on the opposite side, he knew it was the boss's younger sister, Fu Yiruo.
"Hello, Miss Fu, my surname is Pei, I am your mother's business partner, and I have some business matters to discuss with your mother."
"Oh, oh, it's Mr. Pei! My mother is not at home. Can you leave your phone number?"
"Your mother knows my number. I'm in a bit of a hurry. Please ask her to call me back when she returns."
"Okay, okay, I know, Mr. Pei."
Fu Yiruo put down the phone and hurriedly called her mother.
Fu Yiruo knew that Hearing Fu Guiru was working overtime at the factory today, but she was very cautious and never told strangers her mother's whereabouts at will.
After explaining to her mother, Fu Yiruo put down the phone and just turned around, only to see her younger brother, Fu Zhiman, looking at her with a gloomy face.
"Xiao Man, have you finished your homework? Do you need me to check it for you?"
"Besides checking my homework, can you do other things that a sister should do?"
"Xiao Man, what are you talking about?"
"What am I talking about?" Fu Zhiman looked at Fu Yiruo with fierce eyes and said bitterly: "What is the use of my grades being good or not?
You and Mom are about to sell the company to outsiders. Have you considered my opinion?"
Fu Yiruo was stunned.
The Chinese language education environment in Malaysia is actually not good, but Chinese language education is endless. In addition to the "tenacious" persistence of the Chinese group, it is the importance of internal family education.
Fu Zhiman studied in a Chinese primary school, and Fu Yiruo was about to graduate from high school, so she had always been dedicated to tutoring her younger brother's homework and took this as her responsibility.
But today, looking at Fu Zhiman's fierce eyes, she suddenly had a thought... whether you study or not, what does it have to do with me? Why should I care if you die?
Fu Yiruo rolled her eyes at Fu Zhiman and lifted her foot to go upstairs.
But Fu Zhiman moved sideways and blocked Fu Yiruo's path.
"What? Was I right? That was another call from that Hong Kong person just now, right?
Who is he buying shares from again? Or is he increasing capital and shares again? If this continues, I'm afraid the Fu Company will be surnamed Pei, right?"
Fu Zhiman used to own 26% of the shares of the Fu Company. This time Pei Wencong increased capital and shares, and Fu Zhiman's shares also fell accordingly.
Hearing Fu Guiru and Fu Yiruo both felt that it was only right and proper to reduce shares. After all, people invested real money that could be called sky-high prices.
But Fu Zhiman felt that he lost, lost big.
Because in the past, Fu Zhiman was the "decisive figure" of the Fu Company. He had 26% of the shares. Whoever he favored would gain control of the Fu Company.
But now control was in the hands of "Mom" Hearing Fu Guiru.
As long as Hearing Fu Guiru was of one mind with Pei Wencong, the rest of the Fu family could only stare blankly.
So he hated, hated how he lost the noble title of "Family Number One" overnight.
Fu Yiruo looked at her younger brother blocking her path and endured her anger: "Mr. Pei bought Auntie's shares to become the largest shareholder of the Fu Company.
If the Fu Company is surnamed Pei in the future, it is also because of Auntie. Xiao Man, you are now blaming Mom. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"
"You... you actually said I have no conscience?"
Fu Zhiman was angry, stretched out his short finger, pointed at Fu Yiruo and said: "Even if Auntie was wrong to sell shares, why did Mom agree to increase capital and shares?
After increasing capital and shares, the interests of everyone in the Fu family suffered losses, and only Mom benefited..."
"Slap~"
Fu Yiruo slapped Fu Zhiman on the face, directly stunning Fu Zhiman who was chattering.
Fu Yiruo shook her hand, dispelling the faint pain on her palm caused by excessive force.
Then she said coldly: "Mom told me that this is what a sister should do. Don't glare at me in the future. If you glare at me once, I will hit you once."
Hearing Fu Guiru did tell her daughter that as long as a sister is tough enough, there is no younger brother she can't manage.
In the past, Fu Yiruo was hindered by Auntie's dominance and was careful not to cause trouble for her mother.
But now Auntie has made such a big mistake and made it like this, why should she still suffer her anger?
"Clatter, clatter, clatter~"
Fu Yiruo lifted her feet and went upstairs, feeling her footsteps were seven parts lighter.
That slap just now made this seventeen-year-old girl feel so cool, as if a haze that had been pressing on her heart for more than ten years had been shattered by a slap.
Pei Wencong received Hearing Fu Guiru's call and rushed to the Fu Company's factory that night.
After arriving at the factory, he found that Hearing Fu Guiru was directing workers to trial-produce a new product.
Seeing Pei Wencong arrive, Hearing Fu Guiru explained: "There are normal production tasks in the workshop during the day, so the new product can only be trial-produced at night. I'm really sorry to trouble Mr. Pei to come over so late."
Pei Wencong shook his head and said: "This doesn't count as trouble. It's Ms. Fu's professionalism that I admire."
Hearing Fu Guiru smiled and said: "Mr. Pei invested money in our Fu Company, so we must produce some results and not let investors down."
Hearing Fu Guiru actually didn't say some things. Originally, she had a plan to develop new products, but it was shelved due to funding problems. Only now that she had money in her hands did she restart the product development plan.
【It doesn't matter if you let me down! Just don't let your son down.】
Pei Wencong said: "That's how it is, Ms. Fu. Our head office sent news to immediately prepare for setting up a factory in the mainland. I will fly to the capital in the mainland in the next day or two, so we must discuss the details as soon as possible."
Hearing Fu Guiru was stunned for several seconds before saying in a low voice: "Is it so urgent?"
"What? What did you say, Ms. Fu?"
"Oh, nothing," Hearing Fu Guiru cheered up and said: "Let's go to the office and talk!"
Arriving at the office, Hearing Fu Guiru took out several business plans and handed them to Pei Wencong.
"I made several business plans these past few days. Originally, I wanted to discuss them with Mr. Pei in a while, but if you are in a hurry now, we can also discuss them first."
Pei Wencong took the materials and didn't open them to read, because he knew that a business plan from discussion to implementation didn't meet the time required by Li Ye at all.
Pei Wencong looked at Hearing Fu Guiru and asked: "Does Ms. Fu know the Tiansi Pharmaceutical Group in Thailand?"
Hearing Fu Guiru nodded and said: "I know. Mr. Xu of Tiansi Pharmaceutical Group is also a Chinese immigrant. Two years ago, when Mr. Xu came to Lijiapo to promote their new product, I even communicated with him face to face."
Pei Wencong was a bit surprised, but thinking that they were all in the beverage business in the Chinese circle, and Mr. Xu sold "Pengcheng Hongniu" to Lijiapo in '82, it was normal for Hearing Fu Guiru to know Mr. Xu.
Hearing Fu Guiru continued: "In addition, I won't hide it from Mr. Pei, the new product that our Fu Company is trial-producing was influenced by Mr. Xu's new product,
but it's not very successful yet. If you can give us some more time..."
Pei Wencong shook his head: "I'm afraid it's too late, because the head office requires us to promote the product to the mainland before summer."
"Before summer?" Hearing Fu Guiru said in surprise: "But it's already March. The new factory in Pengcheng doesn't even have a shadow, and the debugging of the production line also takes time. This is simply impossible..."
"No, no, no, Ms. Fu, I once heard a wise man say that as long as you use your brain, everything is possible."
Pei Wencong recalled what Li Ye had told him just now and said one by one: "The factory in Pengcheng is easy to handle. We have cooperative units, and the factory buildings are all ready-made.
We can temporarily find an OEM for the problem of the canning production line. There is one in Pengcheng. We can order a brand-new production line later. As for the product..."
"Our head office's meaning is to seek cooperation with the Tiansi Group, first promote sports drinks in the mainland, and after standing firm, seek development in other aspects."
Hearing Fu Guiru: "..."
As a beverage person, how could Hearing Fu Guiru not hear Pei Wencong's plan.
This is a trick of borrowing a chicken to lay eggs!
First, let her use the relationship with the Tiansi Group to promote "Pengcheng Hongniu" to the mainland, and after occupying the market, launch a new product to replace it. At that time, she would part ways with the Tiansi Group in Thailand.
But after the beverage factory in the mainland stands firm, will it also part ways with the Fu Company?
So Hearing Fu Guiru asked coldly: "Mr. Pei, forgive my presumption, may I ask what you mean by 'seeking development in other aspects'?"
【You ask me? You should go ask your son!】
Pei Wencong was between laughter and tears and finally stretched out a finger.
"Ten million, the head office gives Ms. Fu a funding authority of ten million US dollars, completely under your personal control. Do you think this sincerity is enough?"
Ms. Fu thought left and right, always feeling that even if she sold herself, it wouldn't be worth ten million US dollars.
"No reason!"
Hearing Fu Guiru, no reason to refuse.
