"Director Zhong, the last stop is the Shin Fung station. Do you still want to go?"
"Of course."
"But Anyuan has already given us the best policy. I don't think it's possible for Shin Fung to do so."
"After all, Shin Fung is the hometown of navel oranges. We still have to go and take a look."
"Director Zhong, we've already done our research. Although Anyuan's navel oranges are not as famous as Shin Fung, they're both from Gannan. The taste of their navel oranges is not much different from that of Shin Fung. Moreover, Duoyuan Group is in Shin Fung. If we go, we may have to compete with them in the future. "
"I just want to take a look at Duoyuan Group. By the way, do you have any information on this company?"
"Director Zhong, this is the information on Duoyuan Group. Duoyuan Group is a subsidiary of Huanyu Technologies. It started out as a bottled soda company. Later, it went bankrupt and was taken over by Huanyu Technologies, who launched Duoyuan orange juice drinks. Furthermore, using Huanyu Technology to develop online games, there were a lot of people who strongly promoted them. Currently, Duoyuan has occupied 32% of the national market share of orange juice drinks, ranking first. "
"Strange."
Zhong Shanshan rubbed her chin and paced around the room. "Huanyu Technologies is an Internet company. Why would it buy a beverage company?"
"Director Zhong, it's like this. Huanyu Technologies used to be a local company of Shin Fung. But later, Huanyu Technologies's business expanded and moved the company to Shencheng. "
"That explains it."
Zhong Shanshan nodded.
Many people thought that Huanyu Technologies was a top Internet company in Shencheng.
But not many people knew that Huanyu Technologies was originally established in Shin Fung.
"In other words, the chairman of Huanyu Technologies, Chen Yu, is from Shin Fung?"
"We don't have any information on this for the time being, but it should be."
"Haha, I'm getting more and more interested in Shin Fung now."
Although Zhong Shan Shan started out in the mineral water business, she was very low-key.
However, it was his business to keep a low profile. Zhong Shanshan knew a little about Huanyu Technologies.
Especially the recent war between Huanyu Technologies and Microsoft. Whenever he thought of Zhong Shanshan, he would feel excited.
He wished he could be like Huanyu Technologies and compete with foreign giants.
However, Nongfu Spring's main business is mineral water and beverages. Even if they want to compete with Microsoft, they will not be able to do anything.
…
"Chen Yu, the boss of Nongfu Spring, Zhong Shan Shan, might come this afternoon."
"He's personally taking action?"
"Yes. However, there's bad news. Zhong Shanshan may have reached an agreement with Anyuan for investment. "
"What kind of agreement is an investment intention? Since it's an intention, it means that no decision has been made yet."
"That's what you say, but there shouldn't be many variables."
Perhaps it was because Mayor Lan had received the news that he was looking forward to Nongfu Spring, but now he was a little depressed.
Looking at the situation, even if Zhong Shanshan still came to Shin Fung, it would at most be a formality. There wouldn't be any changes.
"Actually, it's good. If Nongfu Spring comes to Shin Fung, they will compete with your Duoyuan Group. It's better not to come. "
"Hahaha, Mayor Of Lan, you're in the spirit of Ah Q. Competition is a good thing. Why don't you compete? "
"Chen Yu, you're so confident that you can go against Nongfu Spring?"
Although Huanyu Technologies is very powerful in the internet and electronics business, in the food and beverage industry, they are only considered a newcomer.
Nongfu Spring was established in 1996. In the past ten years, they went from nothing to an existence that could compete with Wahaha. Moreover, with the improvement of everyone's living standards, Nongfu Spring has the potential to surpass Wahaha in the mineral water industry.
"The market is huge. No one company can take it all. Even if we have Duoyuan Orange, although it looks like we have the biggest market share, we only have about 30% of the market share. Other brands have a chance to enter. "
"You're quite optimistic."
"After being in business for so long, I'm not so pessimistic. I've always welcomed this kind of healthy competition. If healthy competition is done well, it's good for our industry and the whole country. On the other hand, if we monopolize the market, the industry won't improve much. "
"Chen Yu, although we only ordered 5,000 computers, Shin Fung will always support you in the operating system."
"Thank you, Mayor Of Lan. With you guys around, I will fight Microsoft even if it means risking my life."
…
In the afternoon, Nongfu Spring Zhong Shanshan led a group of research teams to Shin Fung.
Although the Mayor Of Lan knew about the news in advance, he still led a group of county leaders to welcome them.
Of course, Chen Yu was included.
"Director Zhong, the person on the left seems to be Chen Yu from Huanyu Technologies."
"Chen Yu?"
The assistant on the side suddenly said in Zhong Shanshan's ear.
"It should be him."
The assistant said, "Although Chen Yu rarely shows up, there are still some places where you can find pictures of Chen Yu. Before I came, I looked up Chen Yu's information. It's him."
"Yes."
Zhong Shanshan didn't reveal anything. She took the opportunity to shake hands with the Mayor Of Lan and said jokingly, "Mayor Of Lan, which business is this young man in charge of in your county? Can you introduce him?"
As she spoke, Zhong Shanshan looked at Chen Yu.
Chen Yu originally wanted to stay silent with the rest of the team. He didn't expect Zhong Shanshan to recognize him as soon as he arrived.
"Director Zhong, there's no need to make things difficult for the Mayor Of Lan. Since he recognized me, there's no need to introduce me."
Chen Yu was a little confused as to how this guy recognized him so quickly. However, it was normal when he thought about it. For an ordinary person, it was impossible for him to recognize Chen Yu without some special means. However, for Huanyu Technologies' competitors, it wasn't that difficult to recognize Chen Yu as long as they put in some effort.
Although Huanyu Technologies didn't have much business dealings with Nongfu Spring, the Duoyuan Group under Huanyu Technologies still had a lot of dealings with Nongfu Spring. In particular, Nongfu Spring had also launched a variety of fruit juice drinks. They were considered a big competitor of Duoyuan Group. They used Duoyuan Group to search for Huanyu Technologies. It was normal for them to recognize him.
"Hahaha, I knew this young man wasn't an ordinary person. So it's Boss Chen from Huanyu Technologies. I'm Zhong Shanshan. It's our first time meeting. Nice to meet you."
"Director Zhong is so humble. I grew up drinking Nongfu Spring water. I think Nongfu Spring is better than Wahaha. "
"Hahaha, Boss Chen, I like you."
With Chen Yu's arrival, the reception that was originally just a polite one became lively.
During the inspection, Zhong Shanshan and Chen Yu talked and laughed from time to time. It was as if they were old acquaintances.
The Mayor Of Lan was smart enough to not interrupt.
However, he knew that if he let these two entrepreneurs communicate, there might be unexpected gains.
"Boss Chen, Shin Fung is really a good place. You have a lot of people, and your navel oranges are famous in the country."
"It's just a small inland county. It can't be compared to Director Zhong's hometown, Jiangzhe."
"Hey, Boss Chen, don't say that. Shin Fung also has its own benefits. I'm very interested in your Shin Fung navel oranges."
"Director Zhong seems to be very interested in the navel oranges of other counties and cities."
Chen Yu said half-jokingly, "After the Mayor Of Lan heard about it, he always wanted to talk to Director Zhong about the history of navel oranges in Gannan."
"The navel oranges of Gannan are the most abundant in the country, and the navel oranges of Gannan are the most abundant in Shin Fung. Boss Chen, I know as much about Shin Fung's navel oranges as you do."
"Director Zhong, it seems that you can be the spokesperson of Shin Fung's navel oranges."
Although they didn't talk about any business, Zhong Shanshan's words made the Mayor Of Lan and Shin Fung's entourage happy.
With this sentence, the rest of the business discussion would be easier.
As expected.
After that, Zhong Shanshan and Chen Yu talked about the specifics of the business.
"Boss Chen, I'm thinking about investing in a factory in Shin Fung."
"Director Zhong, are you going to compete with Shin Fung's Duo Orange?"
"I'm thinking about it."
Zhong Shanshan nodded. "The reason why Duo Orange is the number one orange drink brand has something to do with Shin Fung's navel oranges. Of course, Boss Chen, don't worry. For the time being, we're only in the navel oranges business. We won't compete with Duo Orange directly. I'm going to package Shin Fung's navel oranges and create a high-end fruit brand. "
"I think it's fine."
"I think it's good too. I've already thought of a name. It's 17.5 degrees. "
"17.5 degrees, Director Zhong, this is your old business."
Chen Yu had made navel oranges before, so he naturally knew what Zhong Shanshan meant by 17.5 degrees.
Type A orange juice had a sugar to acid ratio between 12.5 and 20.5 degrees. Among them, a sugar to acid ratio of 17.5 degrees was the best.
This trick came from Nongfu Spring.
When Nongfu Spring first started the water business, they couldn't compete with WaHaHa, Master Kong, and other beverage giants.
Later, Nongfu Spring came up with a brilliant idea. They stopped making pure water and started making natural water.
They also said that pure water was unhealthy. Why? It was because the water was too pure and lacked a series of trace elements.
Water from nature was the best.
They used a series of combinations. For example, they hyped up the pH value of natural water. They made Nongfu Spring's pH value of 7.3 the best alkaline water for people to drink. After that, Nongfu Spring left everyone else in the dust and squeezed into the top three mineral water market share in the country.
The 17.5 degrees used in navel oranges came from Nongfu Spring.
Chen Yu gave Director Zhong a thumbs up.
The Mayor Lan was also excited.
From the looks of it, they might be able to win Zhong Shanshan over to Shin Fung.
Of course, Chen Yu wasn't idle either. He went one step further. "If that's the case, I'll give Director Zhong two big gifts."
"Oh, Boss Chen, what gifts do you have for me?"
"This is the first gift. I'm going to give you a fresh classification of 17.5 degrees."
"A fresh classification? What do you mean?"
"That's simple."
"We can call the smaller navel oranges the Golden Fruit, the bigger ones the Platinum Fruit, the bigger ones the Diamond Fruit, the high-quality ones the Master Extraordinary Fruit, and the most high-quality ones without any flaws the Strongest King Fruit. Director Zhong, what do you think? "
"Boss Chen, your creativity is amazing."
Director Zhong was impressed.
This wasn't as simple as naming it.
However, he knew that Huanyu Technologies had many games with ranks.
Among them, there were Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master Extraordinary, and the final King.
These ranks were deeply ingrained in people's hearts.
Even Zhong Shanshan, who didn't play games much, knew them.
As for how Zhong Shanshan didn't play games much, it was normal. Zhong Shanshan didn't play games, but he played chess and cards.
The chess and cards in Huanyu's YY games also used such ranks.
"Boss Chen, what's your second big gift?"
"Well, I'm going to give Director Zhong's Nongfu Spring an advertising slogan."
"Nongfu Spring's advertising slogan?"
Zhong Shanshan didn't say anything, but Zhong Shanshan's assistant and the technicians from Nongfu Spring laughed.
Nongfu Spring's advertising slogan was a classic.
Nongfu Spring is a little sweet.
This advertising slogan could be said to have spread all over the country. Anyone who drank water knew about it.
It was many times better than Wahaha, Master Kong, and other advertising slogans.
Countless experts, scholars, and advertising masters would use the advertising slogan Nongfu Spring is a little sweet as a sample from time to time to analyze it.
In the company, Zhong Shanshan once said that they would use the advertising slogan Nongfu Spring is a little sweet for at least 20 years.
Chen Yu's first big gift was indeed very creative and memorable. However, to give Nongfu Spring an advertising slogan was too much. Even if you were a genius, would you be able to think of an advertising slogan that surpassed this classic advertising slogan? Let alone Chen Yu, countless talents across the country had never thought of a sentence that could surpass this advertising slogan in this aspect.
"Director Zhong, it seems that your employees don't think highly of my advertising slogan."
Chen Yu naturally knew what these people were thinking. Then, he joked, "I'm going back on my words now. I don't think I can give it to you for free. How about this, Director Zhong, if you think my advertising slogan is good, or if you use it, you have to pay me one million in advertising fees. What do you think? "
"One million, okay."
Zhong Shanshan agreed directly.
One was that he wasn't a stingy person.
Another was that he didn't think that Chen Yu could come up with a classic advertising slogan that surpassed the one they were using now.
Of course, there was another reason.
If Chen Yu could really come up with an amazing advertising slogan, the one million would be completely worth it.
"Boss Chen, I'm really looking forward to the advertising slogan you're giving us."
"Okay, bring me a pen and paper."
Immediately, someone from Nongfu Spring brought over a writing brush and paper.
Obviously, they wanted to make things difficult for Chen Yu.
Chen Yu was a little embarrassed.
He didn't know how to write.
However, who was he? He had been in the business for so long. Even if he didn't know how to write, his skin was thicker than anyone else's.
Chen Yu dipped the pen in ink and started to write the first advertising slogan on the white paper. "We don't produce water."
Okay.
Chen Yu was used to using computers over the years. Not only was his writing ugly, even his ballpoint pen was ugly.
When these words came out, some people laughed out loud.
"Damn, these words are too ugly."
"This is the boss of Huanyu Technologies?"
"Hahaha, the first time I saw Chen Yu's age, I was deeply defeated. But after seeing his words, I regained my confidence."
However, Chen Yu wasn't affected by these people. He continued to write the second sentence. "We are just nature's porters …"
