1987: Sleepless Tonight

After smoking a cigarette, Lu Hao called his father-in-law Su Xingmin and Liu Changping into the office.

He got straight to the point, "Just now I made a phone call with Li Changhe from the No. [-] Beverage Factory. Judging from his tone, the No. [-] Beverage Factory probably got in touch with foreigners and found foreign investment. It won't be long before the foreign businessman We will cooperate with the No. [-] Beverage Factory, and we will extend our tentacles to Jiangcheng."

Talking to Su Xingmin and Liu Changping is to let them know what to do.

The competition with the second beverage factory is inevitable, and conflicts may occur in the second half of this year, or in the first half of next year at the latest.

"Is it really cooperating with foreigners? Isn't this pushing the old brand of the Second Factory into the pit of fire?" Su Xingmin sighed, "How can a foreigner have a good one? How can they give you funds and equipment kindly? Give you technology? Most of them are here for the second factory, don't the second beverage factory and the departments above the second beverage factory know this?"

He felt sorry.

Even though it is a competitive relationship with the Second Beverage Factory, there is a high probability that the Second Beverage Factory will cooperate with foreigners, which makes him feel very embarrassed.

This situation is what he does not want to see.

This is Jiangcheng’s old brand!

"Even if it is clear, the No. [-] Beverage Factory is really occupied by foreigners and foreigners, and it has nothing to do with those leaders. If the cooperation between the No. [-] Beverage Factory and foreigners can be successful, this matter will only be based on their political achievements. Leave a glorious stroke, as for the reputation in private, how those employees of the second beverage factory scolded them, and what the common people said about them, even if they are ashamed, but the real political achievements have been obtained, so it doesn't matter, dig your ears , the scolding will pass away." Lu Hao said.

The introduction of foreign capital, and a high probability of cooperation with foreign capital such as Coca-Cola, a leader in the industry, is definitely an achievement that can be publicized for the leaders of the Second Beverage Factory, including the leaders of Jiangcheng City, who have contributed to this matter.

At that time, the newspapers will definitely spread the publicity, and the relevant TV stations will also broadcast the grand occasion of the cooperation, and the reputation of the second beverage factory will be in full swing.

But all of these are just appearances and falsehoods. Prosperity is like an old man who is about to die. He suddenly becomes energetic and radiant. .

It seems to be alive, but in fact it is about to die.

In the process of economic reform, some people use their powers to fill their own pockets, buy state-owned assets at a low price into their own hands, and obtain wealth; I don't care about the interests of employees, I don't care about long-term interests, but only care about my own political achievements, excessive investment, and excessive investment have led to many foreign businessmen obtaining very favorable conditions, and in a very short period of time have caused great damage to local national brands. pressure.

The stress is almost devastating!

"Can we take the initiative to contact the Second Beverage Factory? Even though there is a competitive relationship between Wanjia Beverage Factory and the Second Beverage Factory, no matter what, it is our own brand. It is better than being bought by an outsider. Go strong, those foreigners are very smart, how could they be so kind and give us their technology, funds, and personnel for no reason? Didn’t they do it because they saw a profit?” Liu Changping said.

"I think this truth, the leaders of the Second Beverage Factory, including the leaders of relevant departments, must understand it. In terms of cooperation conditions, we can relax a little bit. After all, they are all Jiangcheng brands, and the market is so big. Necessity must be life and death, and we can work together to do a good job in the beverage industry."

He was interceding and wanted Lu Hao to take a step back.

"It's useless." Lu Hao shook his head, "I also mentioned it to Li Changhe on the phone, telling him to pay attention to cooperation with foreigners. These foreigners don't have such a good heart, and they must have come with a purpose, but he didn't Listen in, just think I'm jealous, I'm scared."

Lu Hao sighed, "Although the Second Beverage Factory is in a competitive relationship with us, I also have feelings for it. I don't want such a brand in the hearts of Jiangcheng people to be hidden because of the introduction of external funds. , is no longer in production, and is willing to show some sincerity and discuss specific cooperation with the No. [-] Beverage Factory. Unfortunately, they now only think that they have got the chance to stand up, and have the opportunity to feel proud, and they are not willing to talk to us at all. Cooperate, and are unwilling to sit down and discuss carefully.”

"As for the higher-level leaders, most of them regard the Second Beverage Factory as a stepping stone and a political achievement in their minds, and they will not discuss it with us."

It is better to give to foreign countries than domestic slaves, to measure the material resources of China, and to unite with the country's favor.

Many people know this sentence. It is a classic saying of the old woman. Every time it is said, it will make people feel sick, sad, and very regretful about that period of history.

It was a history of humiliation.

I thought it was just a matter of history, it has passed, it is far from us, and it will not happen easily again, but in fact this situation is constantly happening.

Just another disguise.

For example, if you are the same student, you also live in the school, but the accommodation environment for your own local students is completely incomparable with the accommodation environment for foreign students, including scholarships.

Another example is that if something is lost, the measures taken by the relevant units and personnel are very different when Chinese people lose something and foreigners lose something.

How different are these behaviors from "Give it to foreigners rather than domestic slaves, measure China's material resources, and tie the country's favor"?

They all regard their compatriots as pigs and dogs, and foreigners and foreigners as honored guests.

"It seems that there will inevitably be a competition between us and the Second Beverage Factory and foreigners." Su Xingmin said, "Jiangcheng has a very high status in the central provinces, and it is a very important city. Foreigners will be in Jiangcheng The layout is not surprising at all, they have more funds, advanced equipment, and the way to obtain equipment is easier, the technology is also superior to ours, and there are many advantages that we do not have."

Su Xingmin changed the subject, "But we don't necessarily have to be afraid of them. We have the right time, the right location, and the harmony of people. Foreign capital cooperates with the second beverage factory, which is also an outsider. We are a native Jiangcheng brand, and we are local. There must be an advantage over them.”

"Besides, the Second Beverage Factory's cooperation with foreigners is ignoring our national sentiments. Many Jiangcheng citizens must find it hard to accept. Even those citizens who still insist on buying soda from the Second Beverage Factory will definitely stop buying products from the Second Beverage Factory. And buy the products we produce.”
