Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Chapter 530 The cooperation talks broke down

When Wang Jianjun heard what the other party said, he did not agree immediately.

He thought about it and then asked:

"Manager Huang, before we discuss cooperation, I would like to hear the conditions you offer."

Manager Huang was quite surprised to see Wang Jianjun so calm.

This is not the reaction that most people would have after hearing about their origins.

After all, there is a chance to cooperate with Hualiang to set up a company. A normal person would be extremely excited by now.

But why is Wang Jianjun so calm?

Manager Huang thought about it and then put forward his conditions.

"The cooperation agreement we have proposed is that Hualiang will hold 75% of the shares in the new company, and your Shen Group will hold 25%. The most important point is that we need you to share the formula of Viva Cola."

Hearing this condition, Wang Jianjun couldn't help but look up at the other person a few times. It was as if he was looking at a fool.

"What's wrong, Comrade Wang Jianjun? These conditions are already very generous."

"I don't think so, Manager Huang."

Wang Jianjun shook his head and said.

"Let's not talk about the equity ratio issue, but you are asking too much of us when it comes to the formula. The most important thing about our Viva Cola is the formula. If we share the formula with you, isn't that like handing our lifeblood over to you?

To put it bluntly, if you guys got the formula and kicked us out to produce Coke yourselves, we wouldn’t even have anywhere to cry.”

Hearing this, Manager Huang's face turned a little unhappy.

In fact, he also has his own little plans.

Hualiang sent him to discuss cooperation with Wang Jianjun this time and also gave him a lot of autonomy.

Hualiang only gave him a bottom line for the company, and the rest depended on how he could gain as much benefit as possible for the company.

As for how much he can talk, it depends on his ability.

Anyway, as long as the deal is done, he will have made a great contribution.

Huang Binglin got in through connections.

He thought that if he could take advantage of this opportunity to make a contribution, and then use his connections, he could be in charge of this new company in the future.

By then you won't get any benefit.

He also read Wang Jianjun's information before coming.

He was just an ordinary small leader in a steel rolling mill. Later, he resigned and opened a restaurant called KFC.

And the money to open the store should have been paid by his wife.

His daughter-in-law had gone to Hong Kong during the storm and later became successful in business.

This man is doing so well only because of his rich wife.

I guess the recipe for his Extraordinary Cola was also given to him by his wife.

After all, Wang Jianjun had been in China before and had no chance to go abroad, so how could he have the chance to get the recipe of Coke?

Now he was given an opportunity to cooperate with Hualiang to set up a company, but he actually refused.

What an ignorant guy.

"Comrade Wang Jianjun, I hope you can think it over carefully. Not everyone has the opportunity to cooperate with us Hualiang. You only have a formula and a soda factory. Even if your Coke sells well in Beijing, how much can it sell? You should know that the Coca-Cola Company that cooperated with us before sold hundreds of millions of bottles of Coke a year."

Manager Huang tried his best to control his tone and tried to convince Wang Jianjun.

Wang Jianjun smiled and said nonchalantly:

"But Coca-Cola doesn't sell well in China, but my Viva Cola does. By the way, our sales of Coke last month were close to 100 million bottles."

Wang Jianjun's words choked the other party.

Manager Huang only knew that Wang Jianjun’s Extraordinary Cola had good sales, but he didn’t expect the sales to be so exaggerated.

You should know that the sales volume of Beibingyang, a long-established soda brand in Sijiu City, is only about five to six million bottles a year at its best.

Arctic Ocean is an old brand that has been in business for decades.

It is also a brand that is highly recognized in the city of Beijing.

Even so, Hualiang did not cooperate with the Beibingyang Soda Factory at that time.

It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s mainly because it’s difficult to get out of the Arctic Ocean.

People in different places have different preferences for beverages.

For example, the classic Laoshan Baihua Snake Grass Water.

Once you leave the place of production, almost no one drinks it.

The Arctic Ocean faces similar problems.

That’s why Hualiang wanted to cooperate with Coca-Cola.

After all, Coca-Cola is a popular drink in many countries abroad.

Since there is a ready-made successful case, why not just promote Viva Cola directly?

Just look at Wang Jianjun's unyielding look.

Manager Huang had no choice.

In fact, he could continue to negotiate terms with Wang Jianjun.

It's just that his inherent pride and the huge temptation of benefits made him unwilling to compromise.

Finally, he could only hum softly, stand up and say:

"Mr. Wang, since you think your factory has the strength, I won't waste my words. But I have to tell you, if you regret it, you won't have such favorable conditions for cooperation in the future."

Hearing the other party's slightly threatening words, Wang Jianjun was too lazy to be polite anymore.

He said nonchalantly:

"Don't worry, I won't regret it one day."

After Manager Huang left, Ma Hua, who had been sitting by the side and sweating for Wang Jianjun, couldn't help but ask:

"Third brother, will we get into trouble if we offend the other party like this?"

"What are you afraid of? The other party is clearly trying to cheat us with such conditions. If we agree, we will be in trouble. Let alone the equity, we will never hand over the formula. The other party is treating us like a soft persimmon."

Ma Hua was still a little hesitant, but since Wang Jianjun had expressed his position, he didn't know what to say.

"Ma Hua, if anyone comes to discuss cooperation again in the future, as long as the other party wants the formula, don't even think about it and just reject it. This is the bottom line, there is no room for negotiation."

"Okay, I know, Third Brother."

After giving his instructions, Wang Jianjun left.

He was not worried that Manager Huang would hire someone to steal the formula.

The recipe for Solution Coke has always been in his space.

He even purchased all the raw materials and put them into the space for mixing.

Like all Coke canning plants in later generations.

The soda factory managed by Ma Hua uses cola pulp, which is mixed with water, sugar and carbon dioxide before bottling.

As for the core cola juice, MCA would regularly go to Wang Jianjun to get it back.

There is no possibility of leakage.

Wang Jianjun’s only worry was that the other party would use the power in their hands to sabotage his sales channels.

After all, the other party does have this ability.

However, Wang Jianjun is not worried about this.
