Chapter 158 It’s a rare time to predict things like a god
"ah!"
When Jiang Chuan saw the chemistry question in front of him, he almost lost his voice.
The little girl's eyes widened. Isn't this the chemistry question in the "Oriental Metropolis Daily" the day before yesterday?
That's right, that's it!
I remember that I also helped Ruhua review it!
Quietly, Jiang Chuan looked at Ying Ruhua, who was in the same examination room.
The girl's movements were obviously a beat slower than hers.
Jiangchuan watched helplessly as Wuhua's expression changed from nervousness to surprise.
Then, facing the test paper, he reached out and covered his mouth.
Jiang Chuan, who suppressed a smile, quickly glanced at the invigilator.
Fortunately, neither teacher noticed them.
Acidic, +2.
After filling in the answers steadily, start looking at the next question.
At the same time, Ying Ruhua also bit her lip and finished answering this chemistry question that was still fresh in her memory.
If you don’t know the fourth question, pass it.
Oh, I can't pass it, my second brother said I have to fill it up.
Then fill in some answers that I think or think.
Ying Ruhua frowned, feeling like she didn't have a self-righteous answer.
Chemistry is so difficult!
Liberal arts is better, as you can write well without reviewing.
The little girl slowly looked out the window.
In this case, why not... Ying Ruhua seems to have found a direction in which she can work hard.
Oh, by the way, I'm still taking the exam.
While she was distracted, all the students in the examination room were filling in their answers to one question after another.
Everyone was attentive and cautious.
Obviously, he is not on the same track as the other two girls who participated.
After more than ten minutes, the atmosphere in the examination room was obviously different.
Pure ethanol is added dropwise from device A through the red-hot copper catalyst...
Why is it an experimental question again?
After several experimental questions in a row, many candidates have already started to take deep breaths.
I seem to have heard this question before.
That question... I have never seen it before.
Won't,
empty,
Still not.
As time goes by, many candidates find that they can no longer write.
It's completely different from the test questions you review on a daily basis.
The overall feeling is strange!
Compared with "difficulty", students still have the opportunity to think.
But this chemistry test paper is a question type that most candidates have never been exposed to.
One of the boys saw that most of his chemistry test paper was blank.
I couldn't help but cry on the spot.
The pattering sound clearly aroused the emotions of other candidates.
The students who were already anxious were even more depressed.
Compared with the 1977 and 1978 classes, this year’s college entrance examination students happened to encounter the 79th class chemistry paper that has gone down in history.
The national passing rate suddenly dropped from 50% in the first year to just 2%, and the average score was only 19 points.
Many candidates who could easily achieve 90+ in the chemistry papers of the previous two years could not even reach the passing mark this year.
Can it not collapse?
At this moment, the same thing happened in the examination room where Jiangchuan and Ying Ruhua were.
Take a deep breath, pull your hair, wipe your tears...
Frustration, fear, helplessness... came in a steady stream.
The sultry weather and chemical effects made everyone sweat profusely.
At this moment, Jiangchuan and Yingruhua were staring at the exam papers with wide eyes.
Like a hunter, he searches for familiar knowledge.
While wiping the sweat with a small handkerchief, I wrote the title again and again.
After reviewing this question, answer.
It seems that I have seen a similar question, so write.
Hey, I've seen this experimental process before, but the chemical reaction equation... I can't.
This scene made other candidates look envious.
Alas, top students are just different.
The candidates who were in the same school as them shook their heads.
In the last month, the two girls worked hard on chemistry, and it was really not in vain.
In the examination room of No. 1 Middle School, classmate Xie Pingan kept suppressing his pounding heart.
Compared with the difficulty of the chemistry test papers of the previous two years, compared with the one on the desktop, it was simply a score-breaking question.
Oh, I can’t say that. The one in front of me seems to be a score question.
Many question types have appeared in the "Daily Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" column of "Oriental Metropolis Daily".
After publishing a whole month of chemistry experiment questions, what else can't be covered?
There are no guessing questions at all, they are all delivered right in front of you.
Students, open your eyes and take a look!
It's all in the newspaper, just kill it!
The good news is that candidates like Xie Pingan are not uncommon.
Many people are persisting with "Oriental Metropolis Daily".
Just when most of the candidates were in a state of emotional collapse, this group of candidates felt gratified that they could become readers of "Oriental Metropolis Daily".
Especially when mourning floods the land, it feels...even more enjoyable.
How many points can make a difference in one subject? A whole life!
"The exam finally started,"
"It's good now. You can publish math, physics and chemistry exercises normally."
"I never want to open a complaint letter again."
In the supplement department of Oriental Metropolis Daily, the editors are relaxed.
In accordance with Editor-in-Chief Jiang's previous request, starting from the 7th, control of the "Tiantian Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" column was returned to the Supplement Department.
The era of boring and single chemistry experiment questions is over.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, the candidates walked out of the examination room one after another.
The teachers who had been waiting patiently outside the examination room could tell from afar that something was wrong.
Most of the candidates looked disgraced.
The sweat stains were mixed with the ink, and some were stained with tears.
"what happened?"
"Chemistry...chemistry is simply not something humans can do."
"is it hard?"
"I've never seen it before, ah~"
"What about you, Xie Ping'an?"
"It's still very simple."
"..."
It didn’t take long for the glorious story of this year’s chemistry exam to spread throughout the entire exam world.
"Pujiang Daily" reporters stationed outside some examination rooms also immediately conveyed the news to the newspaper's chief editor's office.
"Say it again," Wei Yuanxing, who was holding the phone, asked doubtfully, "Is the chemistry exam particularly difficult?"
"Several candidates cried all the way, but some candidates were quite happy. They said..." The reporter hesitated.
"what did they say?"
"...It is said that many of the chemistry questions on the examination paper were studied at Oriental Metropolis Daily."
"What," Wei Yuanxing couldn't accept such news: "Oriental Metropolis Daily? I think these kids got confused in the exam."
Why is there something on the chemistry test paper in "Oriental Metropolis Daily"... Wait.
Editor-in-Chief Wei shuddered, as if this was really possible.
That booklet guy from Jiang Hai has been studying chemistry questions like crazy in the last month, maybe it can really make him suffer a lot.
Then, the same reporting calls came one after another.
When the phone rang again, Wei Yuanxing was no longer ready to answer it.
I heard before that the Oriental Metropolis Daily had received many letters of complaint from readers. This is great.
Editor-in-Chief Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head. Unexpectedly, he was really lucky.
Jiang Hai is probably feeling very proud at this moment!
Editor-in-Chief Wei is rarely able to predict events like a god.
Oriental Metropolis Daily's supplement department, news department, art editorial department... including the advertising department and communications office, any department that can make calls.
They are all busy receiving praise from the people.
Most of the parents and examinees who called, their words converged into one central idea: "Oriental Metropolis Daily"'s daily mathematics, physics and chemistry column is worthy of being a real gospel for college entrance examination candidates.
Jiang Shan, who has been waiting outside an examination room in Yanjing, is now standing in the crowd listening to messages from all directions.
Well, the trajectory of history hasn't changed much.
The test-taking teacher for high-level chemistry papers finally made candidates across the country realize their true colors.
With various emotions intertwined, Jiang Shan silently walked out of the crowd.
Starting from this year, no one will dare to underestimate Teacher Chujuan.
The teachers who write certain high school entrance examination and college entrance examination papers will also become the object of people's attention.
That night, like most candidates, Jiang Shan stayed in the guest house and studied hard.
The next day, the stressful college entrance examination continued.
Jiang Shan brought his overnight results to the Beijing office of Pujiang Soda Water Factory as promised.
Factory director Xu Toyota and Manager Ye from the business department had been waiting there early.
"Chief Jiang," Xu Toyota held Jiang Shan's hand tightly: "Thank you for your hard work these days."
"What's the point?" Jiang Shan said politely, "Have you had a good rest after riding in the car for so long?"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a matter of getting some sleep."
"I can rest assured that."
"Chief Jiang, why don't we go to the TV station to sign the contract first?"
"Actually... I have one more thing to report to you two."
"What else?"
"You two sit down and listen to me."
Then, after the two leaders of Happy Coke took their seats, Jiang Shan unfolded the scroll he had brought.
"It is said that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. Currently, our Happy Coke's biggest rivals in Yanjing are actually two. The first one is the local star product, Arctic Ocean Soda."
Three people were sitting around a desk.
In the drawing spread out on the table, there is a big white bear standing on a yellow soda bottle.
"This bear's status in the hearts of the people of Yanjing is not low." Jiang Shan pointed at the bear and said slowly.
In 1936, the Peking Ice Factory was requisitioned by the Japanese army as a warehouse.
After liberation, it was returned to state ownership and ice production continued.
After that, the factory recruited more than 10 workers and began producing Arctic popsicles.
From then on, the White Bear trademark was used.
In 1956, the Prime Minister learned that the Watsons Company in Pujiang had left behind several soda canning production lines when he left.
This was considered advanced technology at the time.
So he ordered everyone to be brought back to Yanjing.
“It was also in that year that the people of Yanjing drank Arctic soda.”
As Jiang Shan narrated, Director Xu and Manager Ye nodded. It turned out that the Arctic Ocean had some official background.
"At the end of the 1950s, the status of Arctic soda was unmatched." Jiang Shan was not trying to scare them:
"The investiture ceremony, the investiture reception, and the meal Sihanuk and his wife had on the city gate tower all used the Arctic Ocean."
"Those are all state banquets," Director Xu Toyota said immediately, "We have known about them before."
"That's right, soda for state banquets." Jiang Shan raised his eyebrows and reminded, "It's very popular!"
Official endorsement, no one can compare to this advertisement.
oh!
It took a while for Xu Toyota and Section Chief Ye to react.
The most photogenic place is the Arctic Ocean.
I have always thought that the fruit juice soda in the Arctic Ocean was not a big threat to the Happy Coke produced by my own factory.
However, after Jiangshan's analysis, he, an outsider, still underestimated the enemy.
"Chief Jiang, what you mean by this is that our Happy Coke must be no match for the Arctic Ocean?"
"You can't say that. In the market, only with competition can progress be achieved."
Otherwise, why do they still need to be so "virtuous": "Director Xu, in fact, our biggest competitor of Happy Coke should be Coca-Cola from the United States."
"Coca-Cola, we are very familiar with this," Manager Ye said doubtfully: "But...can't it only be sold to foreign guests?"
"Before, Coca-Cola was not allowed to enter our country," Jiang Shan tapped the picture and text of Coca-Cola on the table:
"Now that we've come in, we have to consider every possibility, and we can't underestimate the enemy!"
Otherwise, Happy Coke will become a laborer for Coca-Cola in the future.
"You mean that Coca-Cola will also be sold to the people in the future."
"It's not a possibility, but a certainty," Jiang Shan's serious expression told the other party that they must pay attention: "They have never given up on the vast market of our country."
In the late Qing Dynasty, Coca-Cola became a drink for official social circles and for the royal family to show off their wealth.
At that time it was still called Dutch water.
In 1884, Watsons began to directly supply soda to my country.
"At that time, it was called tadpole chewing wax. There was no way this bad name would have any sales. In 1927, a reward of 350 pounds was offered to get the good name Coca-Cola."
"Then it will be easy to sell?"
"How can it be so fast? We have to advertise," Jiang Shan finally got to the point:
"At that time, they invited Ruan Lingyu to be the spokesperson for Coke, and it became popular immediately."
Director Xu Toyota's eyes suddenly lit up.
Jiang Shan pretended not to see it: "Multiple production lines were started at the same time. Isn't the Arctic Soda now using the same Coca-Cola production line?"
"But I still feel that it is unlikely that the country will let go of American Coke."
"Haha," Jiang Shan kept smiling: "Do you know about the negotiations held between China and America at the Yanjing Hotel at the end of last year?"
"Um!"
Xu Toyota certainly knows.
"There was another negotiation in another conference room at that time. Do you know who it was?"
"who?"
“COFCO and Coca-Cola!”
"ah?"
"Compared to the other one, this was a very pleasant negotiation!"
Next year, COFCO wanted to select a site for Coca-Cola to build a factory in Pujiang, but the leaders of Pujiang City met with full resistance.
The scolding was really unpleasant.
With no other choice, COFCO had to give up its subsidiary company in Yanjing.
By 1982, COFCO allowed Coca-Cola to sell "surplus" production of the beverage.
At that time, Coca-Cola was already unstoppable.
In 1986, it also received prime advertising time on "News Network".
"Well, who knows what they agreed on at that time?" Xu Toyota, who was originally in a relaxed state, became silent for a while.
"Coca-Cola must have an idea," a comrade at the Beijing office also agreed with Jiang Shan's idea: "Otherwise, they wouldn't be giving away free balloons on the streets during holidays."
"Once the ban is lifted," Jiang Shan knocked on the table and said, "Coca-Cola will be sold across the country as quickly as possible."
"hiss,"
Director Xu, who was originally only worried about the Yanjing market, finally became nervous:
"Chief Jiang, your analysis is correct. Coca-Cola is our factory's biggest competitor."
"The whole world knows their ambitions, otherwise they wouldn't have their current market position."
At this time, "Shi Bili" has not yet been released in Xiangjiang, and its sales volume is not very good.
After the brand was renamed "Sprite" and entered the mainland market, life for domestic soda drinks became even more difficult.
"Chief Jiang,"
We are all smart people. Of course Xu Toyota understands the purpose of Jiang Shan's words: "Since you analyzed it so thoroughly, you should have thought of countermeasures, right?"
