Rebirth 1984: Starting with the development of Hanka

Shi Jingfu was overjoyed when he heard this.

"The local government will be very excited when the Wujiang battery factory moves to Guangzhou. This acquisition of Asia Soda Factory will not be difficult."

In fact, Shi Jingfu is not used to drinking Asian soda.

On the first day he came to Guangzhou, he bought a bottle of Asian soda and drank it. Oh my god, it had a "fengyoujing" smell, which was really addicting!

However, Asian soda is an iconic drink in Guangdong and even southern China, and is the favorite drink of Cantonese people.

Speaking of which, the current soda industry market is limited by objective factors such as production capacity and transportation conditions. "A bottle of soda fills a city" has become a true portrayal of the domestic soda brand pattern. Every bottle of soda has a unique imprint of a city, and every city also has its own soda taste and representative brand.

The reason why Zhao Ye wanted to acquire the eight major domestic soda companies was also for this reason.

The next day, Shi Jingfu came to the Guangzhou Government.

During the negotiation, Shi Jingfu said that Wujiang Group could move the Wujiang battery factory to Guangzhou.

Wujiang batteries are of good quality and have a good reputation at home and abroad.

Moreover, as Gameboy has become popular all over the world, Wujiang batteries have also become popular all over the world. After all, the role of the official Gameboy battery is really great.

A battery sells for 2 yuan, and the manufacturing cost is less than a cent, so the profit is outrageous.

At this moment, when the leaders present heard that Wujiang Group planned to move the Wujiang battery factory to Guangzhou, they were extremely excited and expressed their welcome. They also said that they could sell Asian soda to Wujiang Group.

In the afternoon, Shi Jingfu and his party visited the headquarters of Asia Soda Drink Company.

Asia Soda has several factories in Guangzhou. In the 1960s, "exchanging soda for foreign currency" became a popular story. Asia Soda was even sold to Hong Kong, Macao and Southeast Asia, ranking first in production and sales in the country.

In the previous life, Asian soda relied on its "domestic sentiment". Return of the King has also been sold out in many areas of the country. In addition, in overseas markets, Asian sodas are actively expanding into the Southeast Asian market, European and American markets, based on exports to some ASEAN markets, allowing domestic sodas to go global.

At this time, the total market value of Coca-Cola has reached more than 270 billion US dollars.

Pepsi-Cola's total market value is more than $260 billion.

In this life, wouldn’t it be okay if a soda company with a market value of more than 200 billion US dollars was born in China?

……

Three days later, Shi Jingfu reached an Asian soda purchase agreement with the Guangzhou government on behalf of Wujiang Group.

Wujiang Group wholly acquired Asia Soda Water Factory for RMB 1.6 million.

in addition,

In Peiping, Wujiang Group wholly acquired Beibingyang Soda Water Factory for RMB 1.5 million.

In Shanghai, Wujiang Group wholly acquired Shanghai Zhengguanghe Soda Drink Factory for RMB 1.2 million.

Three pieces of news came out in turn, causing a sensation across the country.

Many people are confused that Wujiang Group, a technology company, has been reduced to selling soda.

People who were envious of Wujiang Group made sarcastic remarks in newspapers, "At that time, in order to impress PepsiCo's President Sculley, Steve Jobs said something like this: 'Do you want to change the world, or do you want to sell sodas for the rest of your life?' As a result, people started to laugh. After Cowley heard these words, he immediately resigned from his position as the president of Pepsi-Cola. Now let's look back at Zhao Ye, who is known as a 'genius technology entrepreneur' in our country. He actually did the opposite and did not engage in science. Research, but started selling soda. I have to say, this is really a great sadness. Perhaps only a free and democratic country like the United States, where the air is full of sweet smells, can give birth to real technology entrepreneurs..."

Zhao Ye was reading the newspaper at this time, and happened to see someone scolding him in the newspaper, and he immediately became furious.

"Holy crap, what's wrong with me selling soda? Is selling soda a deviant? Scientific research doesn't require funding. It really hurts to stand up and talk. Without enough funds, how can I do research and development? Or can I be the same as others in the future? Ostrich, kneel down and beg for alms from others: 'Do a good job, you see that I am a very good citizen, so you can be merciful and sell me some chips, raw materials, production equipment...'"

"Damn, isn't it embarrassing?! I'm going to be reborn again and I still have to suffer from this! I might as well die!"

Zhao Ye took a sip of ice-cold Arctic Ocean soda and felt much cooler.

Zhao Ye didn't bother to pay attention to these guys who liked to curse.

These people are like dog-skin plasters. The more you pay attention to them, the more they will stick to you.

Ignoring their existence is the best way to deal with it.

……

At this time, the other five major soda factories in the country were all surprised.

Wujiang Group wants to wipe out all eight domestic soda factories. At present, a Wujiang Group negotiation team has already arrived in its own factory.

Facing such a powerful Wujiang Group, the local government was shocked, but also had an inexplicable expectation.

Wujiang Group’s LCD project is located in Beiping, and its battery project is located in Guangzhou. We also want to...

……

chongqing.

This is the third time that Du Xiaoyan has come to the Government Building to negotiate the acquisition of Tianfu Cola Group, but this time, Du Xiaoyan is full of confidence!

"Hello leaders, Wujiang Group is willing to spend 1.3 million yuan to acquire Tianfu Cola Group, and is willing to invest 5 million yuan to build a VCD factory in Chongqing next year!" Du Xiaoyan said straight to the point.

Chongqing leaders were full of doubts. Someone asked: "Ms. Du, what is this VCD? Why have I never heard of it!"

Du Xiaoyan explained: "The full name of VCD is 'Video CD', which is video disc. The VCD factory mainly produces a machine that can play videos, namely: VCD player. This product is similar to the popular VHS recorder abroad. The same thing, but VCDs play CDs, while VCRs play VHS movie tapes."

VCD-related patents have already been applied for, and Wujiang Group is not afraid of letting people know about it. Wujiang Group is probably the only one in the world currently researching these things.

Moreover, there are two core technologies of VCD, one is the MPEG decoding chip, and the other is the movement (disc reading and drive system). No domestic company can do it.

But this is basically not difficult for Zhao Ye.

It is expected that Wujiang Group will be able to produce a prototype in the second half of this year. If it is soon, it will be possible to invest in building a factory by the end of this year.

At this time, after the leaders listened to Du Xiaoyan's explanation, although they didn't understand it very well, they had a general idea that it was the same product as a video recorder.

"Ms. Du, not many people in China can afford a TV set. Can this VCD be sold?" someone asked doubtfully.

Du Xiaoyan smiled and said: "First of all, before the 90s, this VCD product was mainly exported abroad!"

The 80s was the period of the war between video tape standards VHS and Betamax.

By 1987, although VHS had not yet taken a dominant position, it had a clear advantage, and Sony's Betamax videotape standard was likely to lose.

At this time, if VCD comes out of the blue, come in.

Sony will probably switch to supporting the VCD standard, because Sony is one of the proposers of the CD standard. Since the Betamax standard is going to be obsolete anyway, it might as well just support VCD.
