1987: Sleepless Tonight

But then he paused for a moment and looked at Lu Hao, "Boss Lu, do you mean to acquire the No. [-] Beverage Factory, keep the No. [-] soda brand, and continue to produce No. [-] soda?"

Lu Hao has the ambition to acquire the second beverage factory, and he knows this.

"Yes, that's what I mean." Lu Hao nodded, "If the Second Beverage Factory agrees to be acquired by me, then I will pay the liquidated damages incurred by the Second Beverage Factory and Coca-Cola."

"Furthermore, I can guarantee that the four words "No. 4 Factory Soda" will always exist, and No. [-] Factory Soda will not stop production."

"Twenty million is not a small amount of money, Boss Lu, are you kidding me?" Li Changhe asked.

Lu Hao was actually willing to receive such a large sum of money.

"Director Li, you have worked in the No. [-] Beverage Factory for many years, and you have feelings for the No. [-] Beverage Factory and the No. [-] soda. Although I do not work in the No. [-] Beverage Factory, I often drink the No. [-] soda, even though I am not a local in Jiangcheng. He has deep feelings for Jiangcheng." Lu Hao said sincerely, "No matter what, we can't let foreigners ruin the soda from the Second Factory."

Use emotions to justify doing so.

"But 2,000 million is not a small sum. Boss Lu, if you agree, don't the people under you have any objections?" Li Changhe asked.

"The business in my hands is all my own. Of course I can make my own decisions and handle it with full authority." Lu Hao said, "I will also think of ways to deal with financial issues, and such a large amount does not necessarily have to be a one-time deal." The compensation can be paid in installments. I believe Coca-Cola will definitely agree to this. At most, interest will be included."

He looked at Li Changhe, "Of course, I am willing to use this fund to pay the liquidated damages for the Second Beverage Factory. It is not entirely because of my feelings for the Second Beverage Factory and the Second Beverage Factory's soda. I also have my own selfish motives. I think I want the factory area of ​​the Second Beverage Factory, I want the equipment of the Second Beverage Factory, and I also want the workers of the Second Beverage Factory.”

"Nowadays, the momentum of Wanjia Beverage Factory has been very strong. Jiangcheng can no longer meet the expansion of Wanjia Beverage Factory. What limits the development of Wanjia Beverage Factory is its scale. Only by expanding the scale can it continue to expand and sales volume will increase. "

It's more reasonable to talk about feelings and admit to being selfish.

"Boss Lu, you mean you plan to pay 2,000 million yuan in compensation, including the funds used to buy the second beverage factory?" Li Changhe asked.

"The 2,000 million is just the liquidated damages paid to Coca-Cola. The purchase of the second beverage factory is of course another expense. The two parts must be distinguished." Lu Hao corrected.

It is definitely not that simple to win the second beverage factory.

The speed of development of Wanjia Beverage Factory has attracted the attention of the city and won the support of many leaders. However, it will also make many enemies, such as the backstage of other beverage factories.

At this time, when it’s time to let out blood, you have to let out blood. You have to consider the problem from the perspective of the second beverage factory, so that you can win over the second beverage factory more smoothly.

The 2,000 million yuan is the liquidated damages paid, which is completely paid for the Second Beverage Factory, and the cost of buying the Second Beverage Factory will be calculated separately.

In fact, now, there are two biggest competitors to Lu Hao for the ownership of the second beverage factory. One is Coca-Cola, and the other is a private person with a background.

But even private individuals with backgrounds and backgrounds would definitely not be able to come up with 2000 million, and they would be reluctant to part with it. The liquidated damages of 2000 million can stop these people.

All that's left is Coca-Cola.

What he can do now is to take advantage of Li Changhe and others' personal feelings towards the soda from the Second Beverage Factory, plus his own initiative to pay 2,000 million in compensation to Coca-Cola, as well as to pay for the purchase of the No. [-] Beverage Factory and promise not to stop the production of the soda from the Second Beverage Factory. Compete with Coca-Cola for the acquisition rights of the second beverage factory.

2,000 million is not a small amount of money, and it would be very difficult for him to come up with it, but this deal is actually very cost-effective.

Taking over the site of the Second Beverage Factory is already very profitable, because the Second Beverage Factory is in the city. If it is demolished in the future, you will also get a high compensation fee, and then there is the brand value of each product under the name of the Second Beverage Factory. , which is also very profitable.

At this time, not many people understand the value of brand and brand premium, but Lu Hao understands that even if the No. 4 soda is not selling well and has been discontinued, as long as he has the four words "No. [-] soda", he can wait a few years and find a new one. If a beverage factory reappears on the market with the brand name of Factory No.[-] soda, it will also arouse the popularity of many people, especially those who know about Factory No.[-] soda. If it takes the opportunity to go public again, the profits will be very large. .

"Boss Lu, you are indeed very courageous and courageous. Many of your businesses are still in the expansion stage and are under construction and require a lot of funds. But now you say that you will pay the compensation for the Second Beverage Factory. Aren't you worried that there will be a problem with the funds if you pay a liquidated damages? Or there will be a problem in a certain link, which will eventually lead to the failure of a good business?" Li Changhe looked at Lu Hao in surprise.

He doesn't have the courage.

He knew that the Wanjia Department Store and the clothing factory owned by Lu Hao were under construction, and these cost money. Lu Hao definitely did not have 2,000 million in cash. Plus the cost of acquiring the second beverage factory, it would be a million dollars. Not a small expense.

Not to mention ordinary people, even state-owned units, many do not have the courage to spend such a large amount of money.

"Nothing is without risks. If you want to gain something, you must take some risks, but I think this is something worth doing." Lu Hao said, "Being able to exchange some banknotes for the happiness in your heart , in exchange for a vision for the future, what other deal is more cost-effective than this?"

In fact, Lu Hao relied on his foresight to have such courage. If he did not understand the future social development, the future economic situation, and which industries would have sufficient momentum and make big money in the future, he would not dare to do so. Take such a big risk.

It is said that if you have too many debts, you will not be burdened by them, and if you have too many lice, they will not bite you. It is the uncle who owes money, and it is the grandson who owes money. But in fact, this is not completely correct. If the money owed belongs to the country, the amount is still very large. Why don't you give it a try?You can immediately be charged with a crime, arrested directly, imprisoned, or even fed a peanut.

However, in this era, generally speaking, if you want to make a fortune, you have to take some unusual paths, especially if you have no personal connections, no political resources, and no economic foundation to support you. You have to take some risks.

If you are caught, you can only admit that you are unlucky. If you are not caught, you can accumulate a lot of wealth for future generations and let them be on a high platform as soon as they are born.
