Chapter 425 Hot selling in the supermarket (Part 2)
Zheng Ge didn't know that Jianlibao's vigorous and large-scale promotional activities had attracted the attention of other domestic beverage manufacturers, and they all turned their attention to it.
It's just that the sales volume of Jianlibao has not been released yet, and many manufacturers are only paying attention without taking any substantial actions. Although the momentum is relatively hot at the moment, no one knows whether this popularity is an illusion.
In other words, can this popularity be converted into sales?
After all, organizing a similar event would consume too much manpower, material and financial resources.
At around seven o'clock in the evening, Zheng Ge, Tong Meng, and Tang Jinqian left the hotel and prepared to go to a nearby snack street.
"Go to the supermarket and have a look."
Zheng Ge thought of something and said.
"Um."
Tang Jinqian responded and walked towards the supermarket together.
At this time, I happened to see several supermarket staff carrying boxes of Jianlibao and placing them on the shelves.
But soon, customers walked up one by one, one took one bottle, and the other took two or three bottles. After a while, the shelves were empty again. There was no other way, the staff continued to arrange the goods.
Fortunately, the Power Drink Company is located in Jiangnan City.
This supermarket is also a large supermarket, and you can directly arrange for people to go to the factory to pick up the goods.
"The effect is really good."
Seeing this scene, Zheng Ge laughed.
"Yes! With the taste, quality and popularity of our products, we are sure."
Tong Meng smiled.
"You girl, you have learned how to say compliments."
Zheng Ge joked.
Tongmeng is speechless, even if I tell the truth!
After walking around the supermarket, they came to the snack street and tasted local snacks for dinner.
…
While Zheng Ge and the others were visiting the snack street, in Jiangcheng, in a factory compound, a young man of about 30 years old hurriedly opened an office door.
"Old Xu, Old Xu, something happened."
The young man shouted loudly.
In the office, Xu Liang, the general manager of Lucky Star Beverage Company, was reading documents. When he saw his partner barging in carelessly, he took a deep breath and said angrily: "Old Lian, what's going on? Are you in such a hurry?"
"Lao Xu, do you know this drink?"
Young Lao Lian took out a bottle of drink and saw that the package was Jianlibao.
"Oh! Jianlibao! You know, the Internet is all over the internet, how could I not know?" Xu Liang said with an envious expression: "That promotion is really amazing. Alas! It's a pity that we failed to successfully raise funds, otherwise..."
As he spoke, he shook his head.
They had been talking to Changge Investment for a long time, but they never reached an agreement. It is said that the conditions offered by Changge Investment were already good, 20 million yuan and 35% of the equity.
At that time, according to his wishes, it was acceptable.
But at that time, because the company had too many shareholders, seven in total, the opinions could not be unified. In the end, the negotiations failed. This made him complain to all the shareholders of the company.
But there is no choice but to continue to find ways to raise funds and open up the market.
But the past few months have not been going well.
Thinking of this, he sighed and continued to read the documents, "Is this the reason why you are such a hot-tempered person?"
"Try this Jianlibao."
Lao Lian handed over Jianlibao.
Xu Liang raised his head again, glanced at Lao Lian, took Jianlibao, opened it, took a small sip, and frowned, "Carbonated drink? Orange flavored?"
"Yes."
Lao Lian said with a serious face.
Xu Liang's face became serious. He took another sip and his face became more serious.
"Lao Xu, the Jianlibao brand belongs to the Jiangnan Power Beverage Company. The Power Beverage Company is a wholly-owned holding company of Changge Investment. Do you think our formula was influenced by..."
Lao Lian said solemnly.
What he meant was that Changge Investment secretly stole their formula and handed it over to the Power Company to create today's Jianlibao?
Xu Liang frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head, "No, although they are both fruit-flavored carbonated drinks, the taste is completely different. Although I don't want to admit it, this taste is indeed better than our lucky star. At most, others
It adopts the concept of our fruity carbonated drinks, and the formula is completely different.”
As he spoke, he sighed, "Now we can basically confirm that because Changge failed to finance us, they turned to acquire the power drink company, and then we have today's Jianlibao. But these are not what I am worried about, what I am worried about is
Yes, with the emergence of Jianlibao, it is even more difficult for us to open the market. We are inferior in terms of taste. We are even further inferior in terms of publicity. In this case, what can we use to compete?"
Lao Lian was silent for a moment, "If we could reach an agreement with Changge Investment, perhaps today's large-scale promotion will be our lucky star."
Xu Liang waved his hand, "Nothing if."
Although he felt a little regretful and regretted compromising with the major shareholders. If he had been tougher, he might have been able to reach a financing agreement with Changge Investment.
"Then what do we do now?"
Lao Lian frowned and asked.
Xu Liang rubbed his eyebrows, then took a deep breath and said, "It depends on the situation."
Lao Lian was silent for a moment and said, "Lao Xu, I have an idea."
"Huh? You say."
Xu Liang said.
"Withdrawal of shares."
Lao Lian said solemnly.
Xu Liang was stunned and fell silent.
"Quit the shares, quit the lucky star."
Lao Lian seemed to have made up his mind and said: "In Lucky Star, we can't use our fists at all. The little Lucky Star engages in everything like a palace fight every day, fighting for power and profit. This is still in the early stages of development. If we wait until
God knows what will happen in the future. Besides, with the company's current situation, it is too difficult to develop."
After saying that, he paused and said solemnly: "In the past few months, there has been a lot of capital interested in financing us. But why do we end up failing every time? To put it bluntly, it's not because of Lao Wang and the others..."
As he said this, Lao Lian looked angry.
"Okay, stop talking."
Xu Liang waved his hand.
"Why don't you say it?" Lao Lian said with a cold face: "Lao Xu, you should have noticed that Lao Wang and the others have been running against us these days. Why? Are they coveting the positions of general manager and vice president of you and me?
?Even if we don't leave voluntarily, they will unite to drive us out and take control of the company."
Xu Liangming lit a cigarette and said: "If we leave, Lucky Star will be completely ruined. Our efforts these days will be in vain. A group of good friends have also completely broken off."
"Huh, but if we continue to stay here, we will be dragged down sooner or later. It is better to withdraw the shares now, take the money and leave. With the funds, with your ability, Lao Xu, there is still a chance to make a comeback."
Lao Lian has long been tired of all kinds of fights in the company.
You said that when the company develops in the future, it won’t be too late to fight for power and profit!
He couldn't understand what the big companies had to fight for now.
