Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 224 Beverage Industry

It was Liu Mingzhang who proposed to set up this entertainment subsidiary. In Lu Shaohua's eyes, it was not easy to get involved in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Without a certain background, one would only be excluded. So when setting up the entertainment subsidiary, Lu Shaohua thought a lot and later decided to do it in the form of an investment so that he would not be excluded.

In addition to ostracizing, Lu Shaohua also had another purpose, which was Phoenix TV. Phoenix TV's subsequent development, market value, ratings, and influence had reached a terrifying level. Controlling a radio station with great influence would not only make money, but also control public opinion and promote his company. It would kill three birds with one stone, so why wouldn't Lu Shaohua do it?

Of course, not intervening in the entertainment industry before does not mean not intervening now. Phoenix Group is now very powerful. Although you will be excluded if you enter this industry, no one dares to suppress you. No matter how powerful you are in Hong Kong, you should be careful when you encounter Phoenix Group. Unless your company is not a listed company, you can only wait for death.

"This mission can only succeed and cannot fail. We must complete it no matter how much it costs." Lu Shaohua said seriously. "Mr. Xu, you are in charge of entertainment. I think you should have noticed a company called Starry Sky Coal. This company will launch a satellite TV station this year, and your mission is to fully acquire this satellite TV station. I don't want anything else."

It's not long since the beginning of the new year. According to Lu Shaohua, he knows that the satellite TV station of Starry Sky Coal has not started broadcasting, but there have been news outside that it will start broadcasting, but it is not certain when it will start broadcasting. While it has not started broadcasting yet, Lu Shaohua plans to acquire it and run it himself. This way, no one knows how great the influence will be after it starts broadcasting, and maybe he can save some money.

"Well, I received the news. It seems that it will be broadcasted in one or two months." Chen Darong replied.

"Okay, then you should hurry up and buy it." Lu Shaohua gave the order.

At this time, Chen Darong showed a difficult look. According to Lu Shaohua's suggestion, he should buy it before it starts broadcasting. But Chen Darong knew that the boss of Xingkong Chuanmei was not stupid. If he sold it before it started broadcasting, the price would be different if it had a good influence by then. So it was still very difficult.

Seeing Chen Darong frowning, Lu Shaohua asked, "Are there any difficulties?"

"Well, according to my understanding, the CEO of Star Coal is an old fox. It is unrealistic to discuss acquisition before the show starts. They may just raise the price." Chen Darong expressed all his thoughts.

"Oh?" Lu Shaohua also frowned, then thought about it and realized that he had indeed oversimplified the matter. "How about this, you go talk to him. If he is willing to sell it now, then buy it now. If they are not willing to sell it now, then we can talk about it after it starts broadcasting. I still say the same thing, no matter how much it costs, we must fully acquire that TV station."

Everyone present was puzzled. With the current strength of Phoenix Group, it was not easy to build a TV station, but Lu Shaohua chose to buy other people's things, which made them very puzzled. But who knew that Lu Shaohua was a person who was afraid of trouble. He would buy ready-made things. Even if it cost more money, he was unwilling to set up another one. Besides, it was not as simple as imagined to set up a TV station.

"Okay, I'll try my best." Chen Darong said seriously.

……

A simple high-level meeting was concluded with the task assigned by Lu Shaohua to Chen Darong. He Chengyi, Chen Darong and the other three returned to their respective jobs. Only Liu Mingzhang and Li Yunqing remained in the small meeting room. It was not that they did not want to leave, but that Lu Shaohua kept them.

"Mingzhang, Yunqing, can you find some technical talents to research beverages in Hong Kong?" Lu Shaohua asked tentatively.

In the future market, the beverage field is expected to make huge profits. With the launch of the supermarket project in Shenzhen, how could Lu Shaohua give up such a huge business opportunity? Moreover, to open the market for the produced beverages, it is entirely necessary to go through the supermarket channel, which indirectly completes the first-line sales chain. Therefore, Lu Shaohua plans to develop his own beverages.

Lu Shaohua, who was reborn in 2010, naturally knew that type of beverage was more popular among people at that time. Coupled with the supermarket as a good sales channel and the various strange marketing methods he remembered from his previous life, it was only a matter of time to make a beverage strong and big.

"I don't know anyone with talent in this field, but we should be able to find one given the reputation of our Phoenix Group." Liu Mingzhang said confidently after careful consideration.

"Well, I don't know anyone either, but Mingzhang is right, there will be no problem finding him." Li Yunqing also said.

"Okay, then you guys start looking. Mainly look for things related to tea and fruit. As for carbonated drinks, I will buy a ready-made one." Lu Shaohua said after thinking for a while.

Carbonated drinks usually refer to things like Coke, Pepsi, and Jianlibao. It was now 91, and tea drinks had not yet come out and were not popular among people. There were only three kinds of carbonated drinks left in the market, not to mention Coke and Pepsi. It was impossible for Lu Shaohua to acquire them in full. At that time, he sent Li Yunqing to the United States only to acquire some shares. As for Jianlibao, it was exactly Lu Shaohua's goal. This company is still very famous now, but for some unknown reason it gradually faded out of the market later on.

Whether it is the up-and-coming tea drinks or the current carbonated drinks, Lu Shaohua wants to develop them both. Even if the current tea drinks are not popular, Lu Shaohua has a way to make them popular. He has absolute confidence.

"Okay, we'll start taking action tomorrow." Liu Mingzhang said seriously.

"Well, we need to find people, but the laboratory should rent a place here first. After we successfully develop the formula, we can take it to Shenzhen for production." Lu Shaohua made the final decision.

Hong Kong cannot build a large-scale production base, so it can only rely on Shenzhen. However, in this case, Shenzhen will have to buy more land and build more factories. Fortunately, time is not too urgent, so Lin Qiquan can expand the engineering team and build it after developing the formula.

"That's no problem!" Liu Mingzhang smiled, looking relaxed, but soon his expression turned serious, and he said, "Xiaohua, I think our company needs to hire one more person."

"Oh? Who?" Lu Shaohua asked.

"President, Executive President, you know that I am only good at finance. Now that the group is big enough, we should find someone capable to take on the role. It's not good to keep me just having a title." Liu Mingzhang expressed his confusion. He knew that Lu Shaohua trusted him all the time, but he felt that his abilities were limited. He couldn't do much with the title of Executive President. Besides, many complicated things prevented him from concentrating on his own areas of expertise.

Lu Shaohua looked at Liu Mingzhang meaningfully. He really needed to recruit an executive president. After all, the executive president was in charge of the entire group company, so he had to find someone with extraordinary abilities to take the position in order to avoid many problems.

"Well, let's recruit both the CEO and the beverage technicians at the same time." Lu Shaohua nodded and said, "You two should review the CEO first and select a few candidates. Then I will interview them in person."

To be honest, if Liu Mingzhang had not had limited abilities, he would not have planned to recruit an executive president. After all, Liu Mingzhang had been with him for five or six years, and he was more confident in everything he did. If a newcomer suddenly came, he would not be so comfortable with the job.

"Hehe! I can finally concentrate on my finance." Liu Mingzhang said excitedly.

Lu Shaohua rolled his eyes and said, "You may not be the executive president, but you can't escape the position of first deputy executive president."

Liu Mingzhang was immediately discouraged by Lu Shaohua's words. He moved his mouth to protest, but unexpectedly Lu Shaohua spoke before him. "Oh, I haven't finished speaking yet. As the first deputy executive president, you only take care of finance. You don't need to interfere with other things."

Finance is Lu Shaohua's reliance for raising funds. Even if an executive president is recruited in the future, Phoenix Financial will not allow others to interfere. Apart from the group company, it will still be managed by Liu Mingzhang and Li Yunqing.

"Yeah!" Liu Mingzhang shouted loudly. Anyone could tell from the expression on his face that he was very happy. He almost jumped up from his chair.

"Hey! Look at you, look at you, you are already in your thirties, but still like a child. No wonder you haven't married a wife." Lu Shaohua glared at Liu Mingzhang and said.

"Tsk, I'm only 28 this year, I'm still far from ." After saying that, Liu Mingzhang pretended to be lost in thought and said arrogantly, "As for the matter of getting a wife, well, well! As long as I wave my hand, there are plenty of girls in Hong Kong who will throw themselves at me, but I just don't like them."

"vomit!"

"vomit!"

As soon as these words came out, two vomiting sounds were heard. This time, even the calm Li Yunqing couldn't help but attack. "As for you, not only are you not handsome, but your figure is as thin as a monkey. Oh! Although you have some money, it's just that little!"

"Well, I agree with this point." Lu Shaohua pretended to be serious.

"Oh my! You two don't know how to appreciate each other. I have a standard figure. As for my handsomeness, people say that handsome guys are not safe. As for money, I am a multi-millionaire anyway." Liu Mingzhang refuted one by one.

……

……

2 vs. 1, a war of words broke out in the small conference room, but there was no way, Liu Mingzhang's state of mind had been trained to the invincible realm of being shameless, no matter how Lu Shaohua and the other two attacked, he easily took it.

"Haha! Okay, I won't say any more. I'll go back to the office and make a phone call to order something." After entertaining himself for a while and laughing, Lu Shaohua didn't say much. His mother Chen Like was still sitting in the office. Besides, the call he was going to make was very important and he couldn't delay.
