It can be said that Wu Dong is quite familiar with Hongsawady.
In the world of Zongying in the late Qing Dynasty, this was his territory, how could he not understand it?
Of course, what he understands is the topography and the folk customs. As for the history that was forcibly changed by his intervention, there is nothing to refer to.
For him, knowing this is enough.
The current northern part of Hongsawady can be described as chaos.
If it weren't for the help of China, the war would still be raging there, and it would definitely not be a kind place.
Coupled with the high altitude and barren land, it is no exaggeration to say that the mountains and rivers are barren.
Of course, it is quite suitable to just use it as a medicinal herb planting base.
In addition, there are many mineral deposits there, and with the rich forest resources, it will definitely be a gold mine as long as it is developed properly.
There is no need to talk about these thoughts to all veteran employees.
However, it was obvious that Wu Dong's sudden idea still caught Lei Hu and other veteran employees at a loss.
It is not an easy choice to leave a good and stable job and go to Hongsawady, a place where warlords are everywhere.
"No need to worry!"
Wu Dong emphasized again: "Everything is done voluntarily, and the group will not force you!"
"It's just that if you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries!"
"After a lot of hard work by Xiaoli Company, our Baicao Beverage Group has become famous, and it is very likely to soar into the sky!"
"I think you all have heard about the production conditions at the production base. The group's various beverages are in short supply!"
"Because nutritional drinks and health drinks are special and have relatively obvious effects, I can conclude that the beverage group's business will be even more prosperous!"
"Maybe, in a few years, we may even have a chance to become the domestic beverage sales champion!"
Having said this, Wu Dong's tone slowed down and he said calmly: "Then will be the time to truly test our group!"
This sentence made the veteran employees who had heard it a little excited and excited look at each other, wondering why the big boss had such an idea.
"Do you think the two beverage giants from Laos and the United States, ranked first and second in the world, will give up the huge domestic market in vain?"
Wu Dong chuckled and said: "If the two old American giant beverage companies take action, things will not be simple!"
"With the domineering style of the United States and the bottomless methods, coupled with the current domestic public opinion atmosphere and pro-American forces, I am afraid that it will have to withstand huge pressure like Mount Tai!"
"Perhaps, the little ones who were so disgraced by us before will also follow suit and wave the flag and shout to charge into battle!"
Wu Dong suddenly asked: "Do you think the group was at risk of being cut off from raw materials at that time?"
Of course there is, and it’s huge!
Lei Hu and his group of veteran employees all looked solemn at this time, with a look of horror in their eyes.
They really did not expect that the seemingly prosperous beverage group might encounter such a severe crisis in the future.
But is there anything wrong with Big Boss Wu Dong’s speculation?
No problem at all!
Based on their view of the beverage group, it is really possible to develop it in a few years and reach the level that Wu Dong said.
After all, nutritional drinks and health drinks are completely different from carbonated drinks, and it is not that difficult to replace their sales dominance.
After following the big boss Wu Dong for a month, I naturally heard some mixed information.
One of them is that Baicao Beverage Group intends to expand the richness of its products.
We plan to wait until the sales of nutritional drinks reach a certain level before launching matcha drinks, juice drinks and other projects.
There was even consideration of beer at one time, but the big boss Wu Dong vetoed it, saying that it would be good to use fruit wine instead of beer, and there was no need to spread the stall so wide.
Just thinking about it, I know what kind of behemoth the beverage group will become if it expands?
And such a behemoth will definitely try its best to seize the domestic beverage market.
By then, it will be inevitable to face off against the two largest and second-largest beverage groups in the world.
These days, they have been following Wu Dong and have heard and seen some relevant information.
Many domestic brands that were well-known in the country in the 1980s and 1990s have now been defeated by the same type of large foreign companies.
After being acquired by large foreign groups, most of the previous national brands have disappeared. Isn’t it clear what that means?
Once a beverage group develops to a certain level, it is inevitable to launch a full-scale competition with the two international beverage giants, let alone surrender.
Lei Hu and a group of veteran employees were silent, slowly recognizing the big boss's bold idea in their hearts.
However, it is impossible for them to make an immediate decision.
Wu Dong really didn't mean to force them, he just asked them to go back and think about it carefully, and also listed generous treatment for expatriate employees.
This time, he selected a total of about three to four hundred retired military employees, most of whom were very interested in martial arts.
There are also a small number of people who have an uneasy temperament.
It's not that there's anything wrong with their character, it's just that they naturally like to live an exciting life, and another characteristic is that they like to take risks.
Some of the soldiers who came out of the army have been completely accustomed to the regular life of the military camp, and are quite uncomfortable with the worldly society outside.
There are people who like a peaceful and stable life, and there will naturally be no shortage of people who like to seek excitement and want to live a wonderful life.
Sure enough, after Wu Dong put forward his idea, almost half of the veterans who had received special care took the initiative to sign up.
Lei Hu hesitated for a while, discussed it carefully with his family for several days, and finally decided to sign up to join.
The salary is so generous. He only needs to stay outside for a year to basically solve the problems of his car and house. Of course, what's more important is that the blood in his body is booming.
When I retired, I was very upset because I couldn't join the special forces, and I still missed the life in the military camp.
The other thing is, he has a sharp knife and a murderous intention!
After practicing martial arts for so long, his strength has reached the level of strength in traditional martial arts. He has long been looking for opportunities to perform well.
Unfortunately, the domestic environment leaves no room for him to perform.
So what if you have full strength? Is it possible that you dare to use it all during the martial arts competition without fear of killing or injuring someone?
As for the so-called arena fighting, there are too many restrictions to be used.
If you arrive in Hongsawady, where the situation is chaotic, and encounter those warlords and drug lords, you can completely let go and have no scruples, without any psychological burden.
Anyway, most of the guys there should be killed!
There are actually many veteran employees who have the same thoughts as Lei Hu.
After all, when Wu Dong's business group recruits, veterans with volunteer experience are given priority.
Those who can serve as volunteers in the army must have stayed for at least five years.
Having been a soldier for such a long time, unless it is really due to personality, it will be very slow to adapt to society after retirement, and you will be more accustomed to the regular life of the military camp.
In addition, the overall impetuous social environment and the soaring public opinion have filled the hearts of young people with violent emotions.
Veterans are no exception. It would be great if they could have a place to vent their anger.
In short, Wu Dong quickly established an agricultural trading company with the first batch of people who signed up on his own initiative and sent them to the border area of Yunnan Province bordering Hongsawady.
First inquire about the situation, then rent land in the name of the company to grow medicinal herbs, and at the same time start purchasing medicinal materials from local residents.
Once the tentacles spread smoothly, the first batch of personnel immediately left the country and quickly established a foothold in the local area.
As for the future development, it depends on the situation.
As far as Wu Dong knew, in recent years it was the Hongshawadi army that launched another wave of crackdowns against the warlord forces in the northern region and achieved quite good results.
This is the perfect time to take advantage of the chaos to lay the foundation.
As for things like defensive weapons, they will naturally be easy to obtain after leaving the country, so Wu Dong doesn't need to worry about them.
After handling the preliminary matters for the rainy day and instructing them to contact the headquarters at any time, Wu Dong turned his attention to other aspects.
When I went back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year, the football league in Belgium did not stop, and the matches were still fierce and fierce.
Because the club where the Guihua school team belongs to is owned by the same club as Antwerp of the second division, although there is no live broadcast of the game or even a broadcast, the second division league still attracts special attention from domestic fans.
There is no way, the number of Chinese players Antwerp Club has at this time has to be highly valued by domestic fans.
During the winter break of 2009, Li Datou, who had just left Jiangcheng Optics Valley, joined Antwerp for free.
In this way, Antwerp's central axis is full of Chinese players.
To put it bluntly, the central axis of the Chinese national football team is right here, how could it not be taken seriously?
And a full six Chinese players have indeed lived up to the fans' expectations of them.
Antwerp was the half-time champion of the second half of the season before, but when the second half of the season started, it still had a strong momentum and won consecutive victories.
Chinese players played a very important role in this process.
After Dong Fangzhuo almost recovered from his injury, he immediately became an unscrupulous presence in the second division, and the number of goals scored increased like a shot.
Another young forward, Cheng Chengdong, also scored many goals and performed well.
After midfielder Li Gang regained 70% of his physical fitness, he became synonymous with immortality in the second division. His defensive ability in the midfield was quite good.
Sun Xiang also excelled in the backcourt. Together with a group of Chinese players, he served as the team's main force and helped Antwerp maintain its top spot in the second division.
When Li Datou joined, Antwerp's strength became even greater.
Except for the young player Zeng Chengdong, almost all the other Chinese players are the main players of the national team. It is still very easy to play in the second league...
