"PepsiCo?" Guan Zishao frowned. "Yes! PepsiCo is very interested in some of your company's businesses and wants me to come and talk to you on their behalf." Ji Ran said with pride in his tone. Guan Zishao lowered his head to think for a moment, then raised his head and asked calmly: "If I remember correctly, Mr. Ji seems to have just passed the civil service examination and is going to work in the Provincial Health Department, right? When will he become a civil servant in the national health system? Can you become a representative of a beverage company?" The smile on Ji Ran's face froze. This question may seem ordinary, but if his reputation as a civil servant in the national health system representing foreign-funded enterprises is solidified, he will no longer have to hang around in the system in the future. Feeling slightly annoyed, he said: "The representative can't talk, I just want to build a bridge between your two companies. I still need you to talk about the specific matters. As civil servants, we just want to serve the people. Serving the enterprise." Ji Ran's business-like tone sounded a little more upright. Guan Zishao glanced at him, his disdainful expression flashed away, he paused, and asked: "I wonder how our small, newly established beverage company could catch the eye of a giant like PepsiCo?" "You guys go away. Good luck!" Ji Ran's body remained the same as before, his fat body leaning on the sofa, his legs crossed, and he opened his mouth to define the nature of this cooperation. “You guys, of course, refer to Guan Zishao and Gu’s Tea Company. Obviously, in Ji Ran's opinion. PepsiCo is willing to discuss cooperation with a newly established beverage company, and Gu's Tea is simply picking up a big pie that fell from the sky. Guan Zishao didn't speak, his lips pursed, staring at Ji Ran, waiting for him to continue speaking. Ji Ran adjusted his body posture to make himself more comfortable, and then continued: "James, the vice president of PepsiCo Greater China, is my friend. At the party two days ago, he mentioned that PepsiCo has recently There are plans to build a beverage factory in Central South Province. However, it would be too expensive to start from scratch. Therefore, their plan is to acquire some beverage processing plants as a basis, which can not only save costs but also speed up factory construction. Speed. I just heard that part of your Baihua Group's beverage processing business was spun off and a new Gu's Tea Company was established. Therefore, PepsiCo wants to acquire your newly established company at a negotiable price. , the most important thing for PepsiCo is money. I will let you know in advance. You can also prepare some materials. Mr. James happens to be in Haicheng the day after tomorrow. I can ask him to delay for an hour. Let’s have a meal together and talk about specific matters.” Ji Ran spread his hands and shook his shoulders, giving the impression that PepsiCo belongs to his family. The second half of the sentence was full of thoughts about Guan Zishao. "I'm sorry! Our Gu's Tea Drinks are not short of money, but we are not interested in this cooperation. As for eating, there is no need. Since Mr. James is so busy, it is best not to delay him." As soon as Ji Ran finished speaking, Guan Zishao The answer has been spoken, decisively but without any room for maneuver. Ji Ran’s face changed slightly, obviously he didn’t expect to get this answer. "Have you thought clearly? This is PepsiCo! Moreover, the person I helped you arrange for an interview to discuss cooperation with is Mr. James, the vice president of PepsiCo Greater China. With the wealth of PepsiCo, even if you speak loudly, they will It's acceptable. Mr. James even hinted that he could leave you a certain percentage of the shares, such as ten percent, or slightly more If you miss this opportunity, you won't get it again. " Ji Ran. A "kind" reminder. "Thank you Mr. Ji for the reminder. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. We at Gu's Tea are ready to fight for the market on our own, and we are confident that we can occupy a certain share of the Chinese tea market." Guan Zishao's tone was as firm as ever. Ji Ran's eyes flashed coldly, and he finally stopped pretending, snorted coldly, and stood up. "Well, I wish Mr. Guan all the best for his business development." After saying that, he turned and walked out of the door. As soon as he reached the door, he turned back and said to Guan Zishao: "However, recently, the country has put great emphasis on food safety. I am very concerned about this. Mr. Guan’s new beverage company must pay more attention to this aspect and never fail the health and safety inspection!” Threat! This is a naked threat! Ji Ran himself is a civil servant in the Provincial Department of Health. As a young civil servant who has just entered the health system, he naturally does not pose any threat. However, his father Ji Xinchang isHe is the executive deputy director of the Provincial Department of Health. With this halo, Mr. Ji’s reputation will be very useful in the province’s health system. If he sincerely wants to prevent Gu's Tea Company from opening, he might actually have the ability. "You" Guan Zishao's face turned red with anger, and just as he was about to say something, Ji Ran already laughed and turned around to leave. "Bang!" Guan Zishao's pink fist hit the table hard. ?… ?The night in Haicheng is full of lights and feasting. In a bar, Ji Ran and a tall foreigner were sitting at the bar. Next to each of them was a woman with heavy makeup. Ji Ran was holding a cocktail in one hand, and the other was carelessly moving around the body of the woman next to him. The woman also cooperated and made cooing sounds from time to time, which made Ji Ran laugh obscenely. The blond foreigner frowned inadvertently. James considers himself a person of status, and it is okay to do some things in private, no matter how excessive they are. However, if you put it on the table, it would be detrimental to the gentleman's demeanor. "Master Ji, is there really no room for change in this matter? Could it be that, with your status, you still can't convince a newly opened company?" James' Mandarin is very standard. Except for being a little tougher, it is almost the same as Real Chinese people cannot tell the difference. "Gu's Tea is not an ordinary newly opened small company. One of its two major shareholders is related to the vice governor Bai Guowei, and the other is the famous Guan family in Haicheng. If their core interests are involved, they will not buy it. My account is also normal." Ji Ran took a sip of the cocktail with a casual look. His strange hand continued to move around the woman beside him. He glanced at James and then said: "If it doesn't work, Mr. James. Just give up this tough nut! To win this company, the cost of public relations is too high, and it will probably be far more than your new factory." "Oh, dear Ji, I'm afraid you don't quite understand the difference between our PepsiCo Group and our opponents. The competition among enterprises is very fierce. If our factories cannot be built as soon as possible and put into production and operation in the shortest time, there will be a situation of supply exceeding demand in some markets, and it is even possible that there will be blank areas of products. In this way, It will give competitors the opportunity to occupy the market that originally belonged to us. Once these market shares are lost, it will be very troublesome to win back" James waved his hands hard and made exaggerated gestures. "Well, I don't know much about business matters. However, I have drunk Gu's tea and Gu's special drink, and they taste quite good In fact, it's not just me, but everyone around me has this reaction. I believe Mr. James You should feel the same way, right? I wonder if your company wants to acquire the tea formula patent?" After Ji Ran finished speaking, his expression suddenly became solemn and he stared unblinkingly. With James. James was stunned at first, then he breathed a sigh of relief, shrugged and said: "Mr. Ji, you really know everything! Yes, our company does have intentions in this regard. After all, our company has always been a leader in tea drinks. For the weaker ones, it would be best if Gu's tea could fill this gap Of course, we have no intention of concealing Mr. Ji's intentions in this regard" Looking at Ji Ran's eyes, James wanted to explain something more, but Ji Ran had already stretched out his hand to interrupt him: "No need to explain. It's best not to let this kind of thing happen again in the future, otherwise, our cooperation will end here - I don't want to be with someone who treats me as a fool. "Young Master Ji, don't worry, I can guarantee that this will definitely be the last time. Yes, our PepsiCo Group's first goal is indeed the patent of Gu's tea formula This is abominable." Gu's Tea Company is so prescient that it has applied for patents in almost all major countries in the world, leaving us with no chance. Now, our only way out is to acquire Gu's Tea Company. If it succeeds, not only me, James, but also the entire team behind me will be very grateful to Mr. Ji and your father. " James is a person who does great things. He knows that the other party has guessed his purpose, so he can keep hiding it. It makes little sense. So, just be honest. There are not many simple characters in the second generation of x. Having been exposed to it since childhood, coupled with the deliberate teaching of their parents, their ability in knowledge and other aspects is definitely much higher than that of their peers on average. Of course, because of their background, it is normal for them to have more arrogant personalities. However, never treat any second generation as a fool, otherwise, you will definitely lose miserably. When James first arrived in China, he heard a friend say this, but he didn't take it to heart at the time. Because these second-generation people in China always give him the impression that they are not doing their jobs properly and are just eating, drinking and having fun. However, after experiencing several things including today, his mind has gradually changed. ps: Thanks to Jin Guiguan for the rewards (100 coins) and Dragon City Fall (100 coins). w
