On August 22, the weather was extremely hot. Zhang Xiaolong was sitting in the driver's seat of a jeep and had already drank three bags of Bingbaoer in a row.
This is a soft drink in a bag. It costs only a dime a bag. It is very popular among students. It is very thirst-quenching after being frozen into ice cubes.
"Brother Wen, don't you bring a bag?" Zhang Xiaolong handed over a bag of Bingbaoer.
"I'd better drink mineral water." Li Siwen said with a smile: "You are not afraid of developing diabetes."
"I'm in good health." Zhang Xiaolong patted his chest and sighed: "When I was buying Bingbao'er just now, I saw many students queuing up to buy it. This beverage business is indeed quite profitable. Do you think our company should produce beverages to sell?
ah?"
"It is definitely necessary, but now is not the time. If it had been done three to five years earlier, everything would have been easier to sell. But now the competition has become very cruel, especially in the small food industry. The threshold is low and there are many companies. As long as there are some tricks,
Everything will be copied by others." Li Siwen sighed and said, "We struggled in Caozhou for nearly a year and developed many new products before we occupied the Caozhou market. But when we left Caozhou, we found that our things had become someone else's.
money-making tool.”
"Can't we apply for a patent for this thing?" Zhang Xiaolong scratched his head.
"Hey, you know a lot." Li Siwen laughed.
"When I was in prison, I also learned a lot of knowledge." Zhang Xiaolong laughed.
"Food is different from technology. Food has a certain universality. For five thousand years, food has been the cornerstone of our Chinese people. It is not allowed to have a monopoly on it, such as outer packaging, trademarks, copyrights, etc.
It is easy to distinguish, and those that can innovate can apply for patents. As for some popular foods, it is difficult to apply for patents. Even if you have a unique formula, others can produce similar products by developing your products."
Li Siwen paused slightly: "So, if a food company like ours, which started late, wants to truly enter the national market, it must make every product it releases a hit."
Zhang Xiaolong took a breath, every product was a hit product, it was too difficult. After lamenting a few times, he looked at the Xingyue Tea House in the distance and said: "Brother Wen, will that Wei Dong come today?
"
"Zheng Jiayu shouldn't lie to me." Li Siwen replied.
"I know she won't lie to you, but I don't know what happened today. I always feel upset and restless. This is not Caozhou after all. I'm afraid something will happen to you." Zhang Xiaolong added: "
Brother Wen, how about I transfer all the brothers over?"
"If something happens, even if all the brothers come over, there will be nothing." Li Siwen leaned on the chair: "Don't worry, these are businessmen, they can't stop me. Just pay attention, I will take a rest."
At eight o'clock in the evening, seven or eight cars suddenly stopped in front of Xingyue Tea House. In addition to Santana, there were also imported Hondas and Mercedes-Benzes.
At around 8:10, in the largest Yunqi box in the teahouse, a group of more than a dozen people sat cross-legged at their respective tea tables.
Yes, the tea tables here are all separate. The main tea table is the largest and is placed in the north direction. The other tea tables are arranged on both sides. The whole room is decorated like an ancient palace, with a sense of classical emperors everywhere.
the breath.
"Boss Qian, you are the master, you take the main seat."
Xu Shaojie is thirty years old, with a high nose and thin eyebrows. He gives people a sinister and ruthless feeling. He is not handsome, but he exudes a cold and arrogant aura. This is obviously a habit developed by being surrounded by money all year round.
, but compared to Lu Shaofeng, he looks much calmer, and his tall and thin body is very tall and straight.
"Master Xu, today is your game, so you should take the main seat." Qian Yixing smiled and quickly sat down on the right side.
Qian Yixing is a bit fat and wears round glasses. His eyes are not big, but they look even smaller. He is the owner of Xingyue Tea House, with a kind face and a kind-hearted look. It seems that he was born to be the shopkeeper.
Don't underestimate him, his reputation in Qizhou is really not comparable to that of ordinary people, otherwise Xu Shaojie would not let him take the chief position.
Seeing Qian Yixing sit down, Xu Shaojie naturally sat down on the main seat, then opened his hands to Wei Dong and said, "Professor Wei, sit down too."
Soon, everyone sat down. In addition to the three people, there were also Wu Jun, the boss of Wanfeng Food Factory, Chu Yu, the boss of Weizhikang Beverage, and a group of chamber of commerce bosses.
"The reason for inviting everyone here for tea today is very simple. I just want to hear everyone's opinions on the Westward Journey Group." Xu Shaojie took a sip of tea and said leisurely.
"It's a rural enterprise. I don't think you need to take it seriously, right?"
"There is really no need to take it to heart, but the recent series of actions of the Westward Journey Group are very unpleasant."
"As far as I know, although their people are using the banner of Journey to the West, they rarely sell goods. I think just by making a profit at a loss, those people should have a lot of money a month."
Xu Shaojie heard these words and nodded: "Everyone is right, Xiyou is indeed losing money and making money, but he is not just making money, he often distributes this kind of leaflets."
After he finished speaking, he threw the flyer on the table: "I have investigated clearly and found out that the flyer came from their people. Although Professor Wei's investment project was not mentioned by name, any fool can tell who the flyer is referring to.
.”
"Bosses, you are the major shareholders of Qizhou's investment. Each of you has invested at least millions. In the past few months, I, Weidong, have not missed you by one penny in interest, right?" Weidong took the words and said,
Gritting his teeth, he said: "But this guy named Li Siwen has repeatedly slandered me, which has seriously affected our company's reputation and earnings. Of course, I, Weidong, have not experienced any big storms? This kind of doubts are a big surprise to me.
I said it wouldn't cause any harm. But some people started to believe this rumor, and some bosses even asked me for their principal."
"Not to mention that I have signed a contract with you, now our project has been put on the schedule, and construction will start in less than half a month. If someone wants to withdraw investment at this time, it will not only be a trap for me, but also others.
As for the rights and interests of shareholders, you can disbelieve me, but you can’t disbelieve Mr. Xu, right?”
After Wei Dong finished speaking, he looked at Xu Shaojie, and the latter glanced at everyone coldly: "Boss Nie, Boss Ma, I heard that you two are anxious to divest your capital recently?"
The two bosses were about fifty years old. When they heard Xu Shaojie's words, they quickly smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, we are not in a hurry to divest, nor do we not believe you. It's just because there are too many rumors outside. Besides, when it comes to divestment, you should ask Boss Zheng first.
Right? I heard that his daughter got the principal back."
