第508章：考察

For Mayor Guo's request, Wu Changfeng is confused.
Mayor Guo, where did you get the idea that I know Coca-Cola and Pepsi?
Furthermore, even if I do know them, what power do I have to make them buy Fruit Fly Beverage Factory?
我要是有这能耐，我干鸡毛事业。
当一个二道贩子，商业揽客不好吗？
额，说起来，这事自己好像真干过，从轧钢设备到塑料机……
Of course, excavator technology cannot be counted.
Because it was purchased jointly by several companies.
Wu Changfeng was a bit helpless, not that he didn't want to help, but he had no way.
Doing something that makes the other party spend money is definitely much more troublesome than giving money to the other party.
People’s Coca-Cola and Pepsi are not fools either. What they value more is the sales channel of well-known factories.
And the distribution channels of Guofei Beverage Factory are definitely not as profound as Ba Wang Temple and other manufacturers.
However, it must be said that the drinks from Guofei Beverage Factory are quite delicious.
Actually, during this period, the common people do not have very high requirements for the taste of beverages. As long as there are two points, a certain market can be obtained.
First of all, it must be sweet!
If it's not sweet, the common people will feel cheated, like they're spending money to drink water.
It must be sweet, otherwise it's asking for trouble.
During this period, pollution in mainland China was not as severe, you could even drink water directly from the river. But if you spend money and don't taste the sweetness, I'd rather drink well water than this soda.
The second point is to have fizz.
Commonly known as carbonation.
The feeling of bubbles exploding in the mouth is quite refreshing.
This is also the reason why carbonated drinks have been loved by the general public since their introduction.
It's no wonder that soda factories are being set up all over the country, with even one in a single county being nothing surprising.
In essence, this stuff is just sugar diluted in water, with low production costs and sky-high profits.
……
County Mayor Guo became anxious and looked at Wu Changfeng, who didn't speak, and asked, "What's your solution?"
Wu Changfeng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Mayor Guo, you are really putting me in a difficult spot. I really don't know anyone from Coca-Cola or Pepsi."
County Mayor Guo flattered with a smile: "I know you don't know each other, but you have skills! Look, you have helped the Equipment Division several times, isn't this showing great abilities? Just think about it this time."
Zhao Zhuzhou also said: "Yes, Mr. Wu, the Guofei Beverage Factory is left with only an empty shell and equipment. It is really unable to continue operating. No one wants to buy it, and Coca-Cola and Pepsi have joint ventures all over the mainland, so they don't need us. Let's make a connection."
Wu Changfeng shook his head, "This is different from before. Before, we were the ones spending money, and I just helped negotiate a lower price. This time, we're selling to others, completely reversing the situation."
"Actually, you might not see the underlying interests here. You may think Coca-Cola and Pepsi have money to burn, but they are definitely not fools."
"Don't be fooled by the joint venture agreement signed by KFC, PepsiCo, and Kraft Foods, they are capitalists after all, and the eternal creed of capitalists is never to engage in unprofitable deals."
County Mayor Guo and Left Bamboo exchanged a glance.
What does this mean?
Are Coca-Cola and Pepsi assisting in the upgrading of beverage manufacturing industry in mainland China?
Moreover, according to the usual practice in mainland China, once we have learned from them, we will find an excuse to directly kick Coca-Cola and Pepsi out.
How to listen to the tone and train of thought of Wu Changfeng, it seems that the outcome is still uncertain?
This is impossible!
Two foreign companies, have they also dealt with the government?
County Mayor Guo asked cautiously, "I don't quite understand, isn't joint venture a good thing?"
Wu Changfeng smiled and said nothing.
There is nothing to say about this matter, only time can prove it.
Moreover, it has already happened and Wu Changfeng can't stop it.
Zuo Zhuxi frowned and asked, "Weren't we here to ask for Wu Changfeng's help?"
What will happen to other beverage factories in the future is none of our business. We still don't know what to do with the Fruit Fly Beverage Factory!
Although it's already a mess, the equipment inside is still quite valuable. We can't just sell it as scrap metal, right?
Mr. Zuo Zhuxi said, "County Chief Guo, let's not worry about the future for now. We should focus on how to deal with Guofei Beverage Factory..."
"Ah, yes, yes." County Chief Guo snapped out of it and continued, "Changfeng, you really have no solution?"
Wu Changfeng rubbed his chin and pondered for a long time.
In fact, Wu Changfeng was considering whether he should take over or not.
In the future, there will be few domestic beverage brands that can compete.
Even a giant like Wahaha cannot compete with Coca-Cola and Pepsi in the beverage industry.
Not to mention the presence of another giant, Master Kong.
These three companies have harvested countless wealth in mainland China.
武长风并不是眼馋金钱，而是觉得，大陆应该有能打的饮料品牌。
But after taking over, can I really compete with them?
In the past, my business has always been ahead of its time, in other words, it created a time difference.
Before this product appeared, I took it out in advance and made a profit.
But beverages, on the other hand, are directly facing competitors now.
This requires employing a large number of business methods.
Wu Changfeng, as a billionaire worth billions, naturally has impressive business skills.
Will you do it or not?
I'm a bit hesitant.
But just think, in the future there will be no drink brands that can compete with or resist Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Master Kong. It feels so sad!
The outcome of the eight major beverage factories being strangled is certain now.
Perhaps, this is one's own opportunity?
Wu Changfeng has an impulse to get involved.
But he quickly calms down.
资金自己是不缺的，但果飞饮料厂什么样子自己没去过。
应该去看看硬件设施怎么样在做决定。
武长风说道：“郭县长，我们去果飞饮料厂看看吧。”
Left Zhuzhu West was stunned.
What's so interesting about this?
County Mayor Guo seemed to understand and immediately said, "Let's go!"
The three of them left.
Left Zhuzhu West looked confused, wondering what they were going to do?
Out of the factory, driving straight to the county.
On the way, Mayor Guo smiled happily.
Zuo Zhuxi was even more puzzled.
What is Mayor Guo happy about?
Zuo Zhuxi couldn't figure out what Mayor Guo was happy about. Originally, he wanted to use Wu Changfeng's relationship to connect with Ke Kou and Pepsi, and then sell the Guo Fei beverage factory.
Guo County Mayor happily went to visit the factory.
What's going on?
It was surprising that Zuo Zhuxi went all the way to the beverage factory, but still didn't understand.
The three people got off the car and asked the old night watchman to open the door.
Wu Changfeng glanced at the buildings in the factory area.
Office buildings, warehouses, workshops, canteens, bathhouses, auditoriums, and so on, everything is available.
Of course, some buildings are deemed unnecessary in Wu Changfeng's eyes.
But that's how this era is, every factory area is an independent ecosystem.
If you lack something, you feel embarrassed to greet others when going out.
It is simply a remnant of the planned economy era.
The area inside the compound is not small, and all of it is covered with concrete roads. Some places have peeled off due to lack of maintenance.
Even the corners have weeds growing.
Zuo Zhuxi led County Chief Guo and Wu Changfeng into the workshop.
Surprisingly, this workshop is very well preserved.
The floor is made of painted floor.
The equipment is still new besides having a little dust.
After all, it is a factory that has been operating for only about a year, and the equipment maintenance is quite good.
But in the eyes of Wu Changfeng, this assembly line seems a bit old.
That is, backward and outdated...
It is definitely unable to compare with Coca-Cola Pepsi.
Efficiency is also one of the factors of competition.
I walked around the assembly line for half an hour.
Walk slowly and touch and see.
Wu Changfeng didn't quite understand this thing, and Zuo Zhuxi was introducing it on the side, after all, he used to be a factory manager and naturally understood some of it.
After walking in a circle, the three of them arrived outside the workshop.
Wu Changfeng grits his teeth.
County Chief Guo looks at him with a smiling face, seemingly waiting for an answer.
