What does it mean to hide a "knife" in a smile? Boss Chu's attitude is that he praises Li Siwen on the surface, but actually mocks Li Siwen for not being worthy of appearing in such a place.
With an arrogant attitude and a radical tone, after saying one sentence, the people around him showed meaningful smiles at the same time. Lu Ming stared at Li Siwen with a smile on his face, as if he wanted to see the other party's helpless embarrassment.
However, Li Siwen was extremely calm. He reached out his hand and shook Boss Chu's hand gently, then changed the subject and said, "Boss Chu is running the beverage business. I wonder what the name of the company is?"
"Mr. Li, Mr. Li, you young people have a narrow vision. You can't just focus on Caozhou." Lu Ming sighed and said, "Have you heard of Weizhikang? He is Chu Yu, the boss of Weizhikang.
.”
"Weizhikang's headquarters is located in Yangquan City, Shanxi Province, just next to our province. Now Weizhikang has completely opened up the Qizhou market and built the largest production base in Qizhou. Their company's beverages and even
We can compete with major international manufacturers."
Lu Ming's introduction was undoubtedly showing off his circle of friends. After saying a few words, Chu Yu raised his head with satisfaction.
As for Li Siwen, his mind was racing. He had actually heard of Weizhikang. Thirty years later, it mainly produced oral nutritional solutions. It belonged to a company related to pharmaceutical companies. It changed hands several times and was not well-known. He did not expect that its predecessor
It actually sells drinks.
Obviously, I couldn't survive in the beverage industry, so I finally changed my career.
But this is normal. In this era, well-known domestic beverage manufacturers have not yet emerged. In the national beverage market, except for the Coca-Cola and Pepsi series, the rest are small processing plants in various provinces and cities. As for manufacturers who want to enter this industry, compared with
It is not as good as the big international manufacturers, and it is not as affordable as the small ones, so in the early 1990s, Huaxia's beverages never made much progress.
Even the Wahaha Group, which was established in the late 1980s, started out by producing oral liquids for children. In Li Siwen's impression, the only brands he was famous for, except for Jianli Baby and Rising Sun, seemed to be gone.
Seeing that Li Siwen didn't speak for a long time, Lu Ming thought that the other party was shocked, and smiled even more proudly: "Mr. Li, aren't you usually very talkative? What happened today?"
"Ah, don't be offended, I'm just thinking about something." Li Siwen pursed his lips and smiled.
"You have a question? Why don't you tell us and let's talk about it?" Lu Mingdao.
"Speak out? Isn't that bad? I'm afraid of irritating Boss Chu." Li Siwen shook his head repeatedly.
"Are you irritating me?" Chu Yu chuckled: "What scene have I, Chu Yu, not seen before? You would actually say such ignorant words."
After Chu Yu finished speaking, the people around him also laughed.
"Okay!" Li Siwen pretended to be helpless, coughed slightly and said: "I'm just curious about Boss Chu's strategic policy. When you sell drinks, do you have the formula or the technology? Can you compete in Pepsi's market?
Can you still compete in the delicious market? It is not difficult to get started in the carbonated soda industry, but it is too difficult to build a brand. If my guess is correct, your company must be in a loss-making stage, right?"
"So, I would like to give Boss Chu a piece of advice. You might as well learn from Wahaha and sell oral liquid. Their market value has exceeded 100 million now, right? Where's Keweizikang?"
Li Siwen's words completely hurt Chu Yu. The latter's face looked as ugly as black paint, and his lips trembled with anger.
"Li Siwen, what are you talking about?" Lu Ming asked immediately with raised eyebrows.
"Look, I didn't intend to say it, but you want me to say that it's really hard to be a good person." After Li Siwen finished speaking, he said to Chu Yu: "Boss Chu, I really don't mean any harm, as long as you listen to me
Yes, you can get rich at least twenty years in advance."
There was really nothing wrong with Li Siwen's words, but would the other party believe it? In Chu Yu's eyes, Li Siwen was poking him in the spine.
"At such a young age, I like to talk wildly." Another man spoke up. He wore glasses and had his hair parted in the middle. He was about the same age as Lu Ming, about fifty, and continued with a cold face: "Brother Chu is in the beverage industry.
It has been more than a few years, and in terms of experience, strength, and judgment of the entire industry, how can a novice like you understand it? Judging the future of a company based on your few words is simply child's play. I heard that you are
Caozhou is quite capable, but this is Qizhou, not something you can compare to in the countryside."
"Li Siwen, you must listen carefully to Mr. Wu's words. He is a leader in the local food industry in Qizhou. He sells dozens of kinds of food and has a certain reputation throughout East China..."
"Stop!" Li Siwen suddenly interrupted Lu Ming's introduction, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Say boss Lu, you keep talking about friendship with me, can you introduce me to some big people? Even if there are no big people in Qizhou,
brand, but there should be quite a few brands from other provinces, right? Besides, you also said that the threshold for the food industry is low, so I don’t think there is any need to introduce it.”
Li Siwen's self-deprecation was a return to what Lu Ming had just said. It was not that he did not pay attention to the Qizhou market, but in his impression, there was indeed no big brand in the entire Qizhou food industry.
To establish a foothold in Qizhou, competition from local brands is only the first stage. What is really difficult is those big brands that have entered the Qizhou market.
He really wanted to meet the managers of those big brands, but he also knew that Lu Ming's identity was not on the same level as those people.
So what he said was to prevent Lu Ming from coming to Taiwan.
Sure enough, after saying this, Lu Ming and others turned green. They had originally planned to come over to try to squeeze Li Siwen, but now they were looked down upon by the other party.
Crazy, so crazy, this is the common thought of everyone, especially the man who just now thought of himself as a senior. At this moment, he is even more embarrassed that his lips twitch.
"Li Siwen, I have good intentions to pave the way for you today. If you have this attitude, it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in Qizhou in the future."
Lu Ming took a deep breath and said coldly.
When Li Siwen heard such hypocritical words, he wanted to laugh and pave the way? He was obviously making fun of himself and said that he was paving the way for himself. He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen such shameless people.
"There is a saying in the shopping mall that the more friends you have, the easier your journey will be. Boss Chu and Mr. Wu are both leading representatives of your food industry. Without their support, you would not even be able to enter the market in Qizhou." Lu
Ming laughed: "You know what to do, right?"
Lu Ming's intention was very clear, asking Li Siwen to apologize, but he knew more clearly that Li Siwen would not accept it at all, so what he said was to further intensify the conflict between Li Siwen and these people.
