This year’s Chinese New Year will most likely be spent outside again.

It’s only January 1968, and a US$1 billion acquisition is a huge event.

You must know that in 1957, the world's richest man only had a net worth of US$1 billion.

Jiang Hua strongly requested PepsiCo's shareholders to keep a low profile because he did not want to be on the rich list.

He still needs to raise funds. The income of HK$10 billion seems like a lot. In fact, it is net income.

We also have to pay for labor costs, bonuses and dividends, and there isn’t much left.

Fortunately, he has Hang Seng Bank, which has a lot of savings, so he can still buy it with grit.

Pepsi-Cola is now a large multinational group, with a market value of 1 billion, but it is not too big.

Early the next morning, he took William's team, as well as his personal team secretary and bodyguards.

A huge group of people rushed to the airport,

The tabloids began to speculate again about what big move Jiang Hua would make this time.

They didn't even expect that Jiang Hua would make such a big move this time, it was so amazing.

He may have to spend all the money he earned in the early stage, and he still owes a lot!

It’s really like going back to before liberation.

I have to tighten my belt next year, so when will I be able to draw a lot of prizes?

He was also concerned about the transformation of genetic modification from basic to proficient.

"Here we are, Mr. Jiang, this is our headquarters!"

Pepsi-Cola's New York headquarters is in a building that is not too tall.

It's very low-key and fits Jianghua's temperament very well.

They sent a car directly to the airport to pick you up and were very sincere.

As soon as he entered the company, Jiang Hua felt that this company was different.

The employees inside each performed their duties, and even when the major shareholders came in, they did not stop what they were doing.

This is the performance of a multinational company.

In the conference room, William evaluated PepsiCo's financial reports and information.

The other party was also very patient and answered everything one by one.

It seems that they are determined to take action. There is a high probability that these shareholders will be on the rich list once they take action.

Only a fool would want to fight to the death with Coke.

Both parties are very sincere.

Assessment is a time-consuming matter, and Jianghua can't wait any longer.

Take two bodyguards and go to the streets of New York to see what it was like in the late 1960s.

This is a very mysterious period, and there is very little TV information about it.

The retro cars all over the streets are very impressive.

This period seems to be the most popular time for the Beatles. The streets are full of long-haired young people.

Bell bottoms seem to have arrived in the Mainland in the 1980s.

From time to time, a few convertible sports cars drove by with beautiful women.

Very shocking.

"Boss, let's go back, it's not safe here."

Free America, shot every day.

After the mid-1960s, the countries participating in the “World War II”

There has been a crime upsurge in most countries, especially in the United States.

This is a free country. Jiang Hua’s skills are good, but he’s not as fast as a gun!

In the distance, another group of young people were making trouble on the street.

The two bodyguards followed Jiang Hua back to Pepsi-Cola headquarters.

This place is so scary, there are people making trouble on the street.

With his Chinese face, he would probably be robbed within a few miles of this place.

.......

After several days, the evaluation work was finally completed, and William collected a lot of information in private.

The two sides finally returned to the negotiating table.

"Boss, Pepsi-Cola is now far behind Coca-Cola. In the United States, its market share is less than a quarter of that of Coca-Cola."

Jiang Hua said: "What about the market value?"

"We combined their financial reports and sales, and the valuation is 850 million."

It’s similar to Jiang Hua’s estimate. Taking into account the situation over the years, 850 million is already a bit overestimated.

After all, how much money does the richest man have now?

1 billion is already enough to rank among the top ten richest people.

"Then you talk to them! Lower the price first. My base price is US$800 million. For every ten million lower, I will give you a reward of US$1 million."

Hearing this, William fell in love with his boss.

The boss is generous and has the confidence given by the boss.

He started negotiating with PepsiCo.

If someone is willing to sell, if someone is willing to buy, then the price can be negotiated.

The stalemate lasted for a long time, and it was clear that the shareholders there had lost their patience.

"Mr. Jiang, if we give a valuation of 750 million, no matter how many shareholders want to sell it, you will buy it unconditionally."

This is 50 million lower than Jianghua's base price.

I have been biting on this price for a long time, and it is already the other party's lowest price.

William said in his ear:

"This price should be the other party's base price. They have many shareholders who want to cash out and run away. Mr. Jiang, I think acquiring Pepsi-Cola may not be a good investment."

Even the other party's shareholders want to cash out and leave.

Jiang Hua firmly believes that this business is not a loss, at least it matches his European strategy this year.

Red Bull, Pepsi, Gatorade, I don’t know if they can compete with Coca-Cola.

But self-protection is no problem.

He once thought about directly acquiring Coca-Cola, but was rejected.

Coca-Cola is a symbol of America and the second most recognized English word in the world.

The first place is ok.

It is impossible for a foreigner to acquire it, even if he has money.

Being able to acquire Pepsi-Cola is already an unexpected blessing.

"Boss, you see we can no longer negotiate 750 million."

"Okay, just 750 million. It will be completed within a week. PepsiCo's management won't touch it yet."

When the other party saw Jiang Hua speaking, he was relieved.

750 million, how many people can afford it at once?

It's rare to encounter such a great injustice.

The remaining transactions were all handed over to William. He came to the United States with another important task, which was to acquire Gatorade.

Gatorade is the number one sports drink brand in the future.

80% market share.

Gatorade was originally invented in 1965 by some researchers at the University of Florida.

Jiang Hua rushed to Florida without stopping.

I spent a small amount of money to find the original company of Gatorade.

In one sentence, as long as the money is in place, US$500,000, they will even sell the parent company.

Gatorade's formula, registered trademark, including existing small factories.

All packaged for free.
