"Pepsi Group?" Guan Zishao frowned.

"Yes! Pepsi Group is very interested in some of your company's businesses and wants me to talk to you on behalf of them." Ji Ran's tone was proud.

Guan Zishao lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head, and asked calmly:

"If I remember correctly, Mr. Ji seems to have just passed the civil service exam and is going to work in the Provincial Health Department, right? When will civil servants in the national health system become representatives of a beverage company?"

Ji Ran's smile froze. This question looks ordinary, but if he is a civil servant in the national health system, he will no longer have to hang out in the system in the future as a representative of foreign-funded enterprises.

He was slightly angry and said:

"The representatives can't talk about it. They just want to connect a bridge and build a line for your two companies. You still have to discuss the specific matters. As for our civil servants, we must serve the people and enterprises."

Ji Ran's tone would have been a bit righteous when he was doing business.

Guan Zishao glanced at him, and his disdainful expression flashed, he paused and asked:

"I wonder how our small newly established beverage company can get into the eyes of the behemoth of Pepsi Group?"

"You are lucky!" Ji Ran's body was like backwards, leaning his fat body against the sofa, crossing his legs, and opening his mouth to determine the nature of this cooperation first.

This is naturally referring to Guan Zishao, and Gu's Tea Beverage Company. Obviously, in Jiran's opinion, Pepsi Group is willing to discuss cooperation with a newly established beverage company, and Gu's Tea Beverage 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, vice president of Pepsi Group Greater China, is my friend. At the party two days ago, he mentioned that Pepsi Group recently had plans to build a beverage factory in Central and South China. However, if everything starts from scratch, the investment is too large. So, their plan is to acquire some beverage processing plants as the basis, which can save costs and speed up the construction of the factory. It just so happened that some of your Baihua Group's beverage processing business was spun off and a new Gushi tea beverage company was established. Therefore, Pepsi Group wants to acquire your newly established company. The price is easy to discuss. You know, what Pepsi Group lacks the most is money. For this matter, I'll give you some information in advance, and you can also prepare some materials. The day after tomorrow, Mr. James happened to have something to come to Haicheng. I can ask him to waste an hour. Let's have a meal together and discuss specific matters."

Ji Ran spread his hands and timidly shoulders, giving people the feeling that Pepsi Group belongs to his family. The second half of the sentence is even more focused on Guan Zishao's tone.

"I'm sorry! Our Gu's tea drinks are not short of money, and we are not interested in this cooperation. As for eating, there is no need to. Since Mr. James is so busy, it's better not to delay his." As soon as Ji Ran finished speaking, Guan Zishao's answer had already been released, but there was no room for maneuver.

Ji Ran's face changed slightly, and he obviously didn't expect to get this answer.

"Did you think it through? This is Pepsi Group! Moreover, the one I asked for you to come in for cooperation was Mr. James, vice president of Pepsi Group Greater China. With Pepsi Group's wealth and ambition, they can accept it even if you speak loudly. Mr. James even hinted that you can leave you a certain proportion of shares, such as 10% or a little more... If you miss this opportunity, you will not have it again."

Ji Ran reminded him with "kindness".

"Thank you for your reminder from Mr. Ji. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. We, Gu's tea drink, are ready to work hard on the market ourselves. We are confident that we can occupy a certain share in the Chinese tea drink market." Guan Zishao's tone was as firm as ever.

A cold light flashed in Ji Ran's eyes. Finally, he stopped pretending to be anything else. He snorted coldly and stood up.

"Okay, I wish Mr. Guan's business all the best."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the door. As soon as he reached the door, he turned around and said to Guan Zishao:

"However, the country has been very concerned about food safety recently. Mr. Guan's new beverage company must pay more attention to this aspect, and never even pass the hygiene and safety inspection!"

threaten!

This is the nude threat!

Ji Ran himself is a civil servant of the Provincial Health Department. He, a young civil servant who has just entered the health system, naturally does not have any threats. However, his father Ji Xinchang is the executive deputy director of the Provincial Health Department.

With this halo, Mr. Ji's name is very good in the health system across the province. If he sincerely wants to make Gu's Tea Beverage Company unable to open a Zhang, he might have the ability.

"You..." Guan Zishao's face turned red with anger. Just as he was about to say something, Ji Ran had already turned around and left with a smile.

"Bang!"

Guan Zishao's pink fist hit the table hard.

...

The night in Haicheng is bright and the lights are bright.

In a bar, Ji Ran and a tall and tall foreigner were sitting in front of the bar, next to each person was a woman wearing heavy makeup.

Ji Ran was holding a cocktail in one hand and wandering around the woman beside him with the other hand. The woman cooperated very well and made a coquettish voice from time to time, which made Ji Ran smile.

The blonde foreigner frowned casually.

James thinks he is a person with status and can do some things in private, even if it is too much. However, if it is placed on the table, it will damage the gentlemanly demeanor.

"Mr. Ji, is there really no room for improvement in this matter? Can you say that as you are, you can't convince a newly opened company?"

James' Mandarin is very standard, except that he is a little harder, and he is almost indistinguishable from the real Chinese.

"Gu's Tea Drink is not an ordinary newly opened small company. Its two major shareholders, one of which has some relationship with Vice Governor Bai Guowei, and the other is the famous Guan family in Haicheng. If it involves core interests, it is normal for them not to buy my account."

Ji Ran looked inadvertent, took a sip of the cocktail, and his strange hand continued to wander around the woman beside him, glanced at James, and then said:

"If it really doesn't work, Mr. James will give up this tough guy! To take over this company, the cost of public relations is too high, and it may be much higher than that of your new factory."

"Oh, my dear plan, I'm afraid you don't understand yet. The competition between our Pepsi Group and its competitors is very fierce. If our factory cannot be built as soon as possible and put into production and operation in the shortest time, some markets will be in short supply, and even blank areas of products may appear. In this way, the competition will be given to mobile phones and let them occupy the market that originally belonged to us. Once these market shares are lost, if you want to fight for it... in short, it will be very troublesome and very troublesome!"

James tried hard to wave his hands and made exaggerated gestures.

"Well, I don't know much about commercial matters. However, I have drunk Gu's tea drinks and Gu's special drinks, and the taste is quite good... In fact, not only me, but people around me have reported this. I believe Mr. James should have this feeling, right? I wonder if your company wants to acquire Gu's tea drink company, do you want to get a patent for tea drink formula?"

After Ji Ran finished speaking, his expression suddenly became solemn, and his eyes were staring at James without blinking.

James was stunned at first, then he let out a sigh of relief, shrugged and said:

"Young Master Ji, you know everything! Yes, our company does have intentions in this regard. After all, our company has always been relatively weak in tea beverages. If there are Gu's tea drinks to fill this gap, it would be the best... Of course, we did not deliberately conceal Mr. Ji's intention in this regard..."

Looking at Ji Ran's eyes, James wanted to explain what else, Ji Ran had already reached out to interrupt him:

"No need to explain. It's better not to happen again in the future, otherwise our cooperation will end here - I don't want to be a partner with someone who treats me as a fool."

"Don't worry, Mr. Ji, I can guarantee that such a thing is definitely the last time. Yes, our Pepsi Group's first goal is indeed the patent of the Gu's tea recipe... This hateful Gu's tea company is so foresighted and has applied for patents in almost all major countries around the world, giving us no chance at all. Now, our only way out is to acquire Gu's tea company. If this project is almost successful, not only James, but also the entire team behind me, will be very grateful to Mr. Ji and Ling Zun."

James is a person who does big things. Knowing that the other party has guessed his purpose, it will be meaningless to hide it. Therefore, he simply speaks frankly.

There are not many simple characters in the second generation of x. They have been influenced by their parents since childhood, and their parents' intentional teaching, their average ability in knowledge and other aspects is definitely much higher than that of their peers.

Of course, it is normal to have more arrogant personality because of their background. However, don’t treat any x-second generation as a fool, otherwise you will lose miserably.

When James first arrived in China, he heard a friend say this, and he didn't care much about it at that time. Because these second-generation X generations in China always gave him the impression of not doing their jobs, eating, drinking and having fun.

However, after experiencing several things, including today, his ideas have gradually changed.
