When Feng Yu was waiting patiently for news, Lin Qishu had flown back to China to personally report to Li Jingwei about the beverage alliance plan that Feng Yu had told him.
After Li Jingwei heard Lin Qishu's report, he had other thoughts.
Jianlibao could be said to be built by Li Jingwei. But this company had nothing to do with Li Jingwei. To put it bluntly, Li Jingwei was just a worker!
But he was an outstanding worker. Without him, there would be no Jianlibao. In the local area, Li Jingwei was portrayed as a hero!
But that was not what he wanted. He wanted property rights. Everyone would admit that without him, there would be no Jianlibao. But with the awakening of property rights and the restriction from the government, Li Jingwei was not satisfied with the current situation.
The government had imposed a rule that at least 45% of Jianlibao's employees must be locals. Then, all sorts of nepotism had filled up Jianlibao's middle management. This had severely restricted Jianlibao's development.
Li Jingwei felt that if it were not for these people, the Jianlibao team would have developed twice as well! Li Jingwei had been emphasizing on establishing a perfect sales channel. Putting aside the overseas companies, Jianlibao's sales channel in China was not as good as Wahaha and Le Bashi!
They had spent a lot of money, but why did they not establish the sales channel? Why did they still have to rely on other distributors? Once there was a problem in one of the channels, Jianlibao's sales would definitely decline. If Jianlibao's sales channel was as good as Wahaha's, how could these beverage companies develop?
Also, the government had taken away a large amount of Jianlibao's profits every year, causing Jianlibao to always have a shortage of funds. If what Li Jingwei wanted was for Jianlibao to invest in new product development, then Jianlibao should not only be a product now.
Feng Yu's dream is to be like Coca-Cola, with Jianlibao as the flagship product, and other products revolve around Jianlibao. Feng Yu wants to form a competitive company.
But now, Jianlibao only has one Jianlibao product. The leaders in the government said that Jianlibao does not need any other products and transferred all the R&D funds that Wahaha had prepared. Jianlibao had wanted to develop a tea beverage a few years ago, but Wahaha had taken advantage of it!
Now, he could only let the United States carry out the research and development, in case the funds were taken away by the government when they returned to China.
Since the end of the 1980s, the government had stopped preventing private investors from buying state-owned enterprises. This policy, which many people called "the state retreats and the people advances," gave Li Jingwei hope.
He had originally thought that since he had made such a great contribution to Jianlibao, the government would support him when he proposed to clarify property rights. After all, many enterprises had done so and given the person who had made the greatest contribution some tangible benefits! Unlike him, who only received some labor medals and a slight raise in salary, these were the most inconspicuous rewards.
Under such circumstances, Feng Yu had controlled Jianlibao's development speed. This was because he knew that the better Jianlibao developed, the higher the cost for him and his team to buy Jianlibao's shares.
Feng Yu wants to build a Jianlibao building in Guangzhou and invest 1 billion RMB. After that, he will move Jianlibao's headquarters out of this small county. This place is not only remote, but it is also very complicated. This will hinder Jianlibao's development!
As for how to buy the shares, Feng Yu had thought of a good idea. He wants to get Jianlibao listed!
Now, all the leaders in the government like to have their companies listed. Once Jianlibao gets listed, its market value will skyrocket. This will be a good political achievement.
Li Jingwei thought that he could use this to convince the government to allow the MBO to officially become one of the owners of a company!
But while dreams were plentiful, reality was too cruel!
During the New Year, Li Jingwei had mentioned Jianlibao should be listed, and the government had rejected him. The government even said that Li Jingwei was trying to "poach people from the socialist side". What dedication are you talking about?
Dedication, my ass. What I had done in the past was also considered dedication.
Li Jingwei was furious. He felt that his efforts had not been rewarded. His two strategies of "listing the shares and building the building" could not be carried out properly. He could not even talk about becoming a shareholder of Jianlibao. This made him very disappointed.
At this time, all sorts of news were published on the news, and Li Jingwei's dissatisfaction grew!
TCL's founder, Li Dongsheng, had signed a decentralization agreement with the local government. The agreement stated that Li Dongsheng's team would ensure the increase of 10% of the state-owned assets every year. The government also promised that the management team could buy the increased shares of the company.
In another city not far from Jianlibao, Midea, which manufactures small home appliances, was sold to the founder and his team.
Many other companies had similar news. The management team that had made significant contributions to the company had obtained a portion of the company's shares. Some had more shares, some had less. Li Jingwei had no hope at all!
The main source of income for the local government was Jianlibao, which was led by Li Jingwei. How can those people's promotions be without Li Jingwei's credit?
But now, they had killed Li Jingwei's last dream, and Li Jingwei was furious. A few years ago, when health supplements were popular, those government officials had given Jianlibao "guidance".
They had requested Jianlibao to market itself like health supplements. For example, they wanted to turn Jianlibao into an "Oriental Magic". They wanted Jianlibao to "treat illnesses and strengthen the body".
This was firmly resisted by Li Jingwei at that time. Although the sales of those health supplements had doubled every year, some health supplements were only worth a few million RMB in the first year. But after one year, those health supplements had become a giant with annual sales of more than 2 billion RMB. Li Jingwei had kept his conscience in the face of these temptations.
After that, the health supplements industry was exposed by CCTV, and the whole industry was affected. It was at this time that those people realized that Li Jingwei was right. Jianlibao's brand image had improved.
If Jianlibao had been handed over to those people, Li Jingwei felt that Jianlibao would be finished a long time ago!
The only two surviving companies in the health supplements industry were now in the beverage industry. One of them was Le Bashi, and the other was Wahaha. Both companies had been reducing their production and eventually withdrew from the health supplements industry. Instead, they were doing well in the beverage industry. Wahaha had become a threat to Jianlibao's position as China's leading beverage company!
At this time, the major shareholder of Wahaha told Li Jingwei that they wanted to cooperate to expand into the overseas market. Li Jingwei did not want to agree as both companies were competitors.
But now, Li Jingwei was thinking that he should meet that Mr. Feng to discuss other issues. If he could get financial support from Mr. Feng, then … …
