Chapter 69: Leveraging Strength

Just when Coca-Cola headquarters made a decision to send Caesar and Frank to Honsawady to investigate the matter.

Yangon, Hongsawady.

As two major local beverage manufacturers.

Venus Company and Sarsaparilla Company are also feeling great pressure. In the past few years, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo products have been entering the market, and they could only barely resist.

Now facing the Qingye Group, which is like a dragon crossing the river, it has almost no power to fight back. After all, the price is there.

The locals, whose income is already pitiful, are very price-sensitive when buying things.

If it weren't for some specialty products, Venus and Sarsaparilla would have been unable to survive long ago.

But the bosses of the two companies know very well that if they don't find a way, Coke and Pepsi will be driven out of Hongsawady. They don't know, but Venus and Sarsaparilla will definitely be doomed.

Just today, someone from the Qingye Group called them and invited the bosses of the two companies to go to Dawei Port.

After hearing the news, both of them quickly went straight to Dawei Port with their cronies.

In the passenger port of Dawei Port.

Wu De is the boss of Sarsaparilla Company, a short middle-aged man; the tall middle-aged man with glasses on the side is Jing Hu, the boss of Venus Company.

The two of them walked together and got off the passenger ship.

I hailed a few taxis.

"Driver, go to the Aoba Group's headquarters." Kagetora said to the driver.

"Going to Aoye Group? No problem." The taxi driver glanced at the two of them, but did not tell them that Dawei Taxi Company was a subsidiary of Aoye Group.

Jingtora and Wu De, who were sitting in the car, looked at the streets of Dawei Port.

Compared to the shabby conditions of other cities in Hongsawady, the roads in Dawei Port are quite well built. This was their first impression.

In fact, they didn't know that because the local black and white roads were owned by their own people, Qingye Construction Company, a subsidiary of the Qingye Group, contracted the entire city's infrastructure construction projects.

On the one hand, it is to digest the cement produced by another subsidiary, Qingye Building Materials.

On the other hand, it is to legally consume the official financial funds of Dawei Port.

Therefore, not only the supporting facilities of the port are being improved around Dawei Port, but also roads are being built continuously. The cement road from the port directly to the headquarters of Qingye Group was built immediately and has been completed recently.

The two soon saw that a track was being laid on the south side of the highway. This was actually to reduce the bumps in road transportation and allow factories and ports to directly connect logistics.

On the north side are residential areas, factories and the like.

At present, the glass industry is the pillar industry of Dawei Port, and the beverage industry is actually just an ancillary industry.

In addition to the first glass factory (flat glass) and the second glass factory (glass bottles) that have been put into production, there are currently three glass factories under construction.

In Dawei, a small city with a population of more than 100,000 people, there is not much labor force at all, especially literate workers, who were all siphoned off by factories at once.

Therefore, Dawei Port was very prosperous at this time. If you work in a glass factory or beverage factory, or become a construction worker or farm worker, it is a very good job.

The Qingye Group frantically merged various industries locally, and then formed a stable internal cycle. Unknowingly, the entire Dawei Port, and even Tanintharyi Province, came under the economic control of the Qingye Group.

This kind of control is extremely terrifying.

For example, at this time, Dawei Taxi Company was one of the subsidiaries of Qingye Passenger Transport Company, but few people knew about this hidden relationship.

Another example is the industrial avenue in front of us. The land and shops on the north side are owned by Aoba Real Estate Company.

Except for some self-employed businessmen and small landowners, the rest of the local people are either working for Qingye Group or are relatives of employees.

This situation, coupled with the extremely weak local control situation in Hongsawady, led to the crazy and barbaric growth of the Qingye Group in the local area.

Of course, in order to prevent Qingye Group from becoming a target, Liu Zhifan and the others also adopted a variety of measures.

Such as various intricate cross-shareholdings.

In other areas, local puppets are used to establish joint ventures, offshore companies are used, or soldiers hold independent shares.

It seems that the Qingye Group is only a dominant player in Tanintharyi Province, but in fact it has extended its tentacles to the entire Hongsawady, but it has not been exposed.

In addition, many spokesmen have been supported in the white and underworld circles, and many soldiers and managers have even been installed.

In the base camp of Dawei Port, no matter how strong the forces behind Wu De and Jingtora are, they cannot threaten the Aoba Group.

When Wu De and Jinghu arrived at the headquarters of Qingye Group, they were both a little surprised. It was not that the headquarters building was very majestic, but that it was very shabby.

If it weren't for the logo and name of the Qingye Group, they would have thought the driver had come to the wrong place.

"Brother Kagetora, let's go!"

The two got out of the car, took their confidants and bodyguards with them, and directly explained their intentions to the security guard at the door.

After a while, someone specially took them up.

In the reception room.

Liu Zhifan saw that one of the two leaders was taller and the other was shorter. He saw their photos and said with a smile: "Please sit down, would you like some tea or coffee?"

"Green tea!" Jingtora sat on the sofa opposite.

"Me too." Wu De observed Liu Zhifan secretly.

After Liu Zhifan asked his assistant to pour tea, he got straight to the point and said, "You two, I know there are people behind you, but the Qingye Group also has people behind you."

Kagetora didn't talk about Venus Company, but reminded: "The distributors of Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are not easy to mess with."

Both of them knew full well that everyone was wearing white gloves.

But they don't know that the Qingye Group is a silver bracelet, and the so-called backer behind it has to take orders from the Qingye Group.

"If we have money, let's make it together. We are also reasonable." Liu Zhifan said with a smile.

Jinghu stared at Liu Zhifan and said, "Then please ask your company to adjust the product prices back to normal, otherwise vicious competition will continue, which will be detrimental to everyone."

"No... I have a better proposal." Liu Zhifan handed the two documents to the two of them.

Jinghu and Wu De looked at each other without saying anything. They planned to see what Liu Zhifan meant.

When they opened the file, their expressions immediately changed.

"Are you sure? Supply us with glass bottles at this price?" Wu De couldn't help but ask.

Liu Zhifan nodded: "That's the price. The condition is that you will advance and retreat together with us and kick Coke and Pepsi out of the Hongsawady market."

Jingtora and Wu De exchanged glances quickly, while also calculating the cost in their hearts. The cost of beverage packaging is the largest part of a bottle of beverage.

According to Qingye Group's quotation, they can get glass bottles at half the price of plastic bottles.

In this way, their company's beverage production costs can be reduced to about a quarter of the retail price. Especially for those specialty beverages, the competitiveness will be greatly improved.

But the two of them still had doubts.

"If you two are worried about the supply of glass bottles, we can sign a long-term contract, ranging from 3 years to 10 years, and set huge liquidated damages."

Liu Zhifan's suggestion quickly dispelled the last doubts in their hearts.

But Jinghu and the two didn't know that Liu Zhifan was fishing and taking advantage of others' strength.

That fish is the person behind the two of them. Through this cooperation, Liu Zhifan plans to invite important members of the other party to come and spend some time on a private island near Dawei Port.

At the same time, let the forces behind the two people help Qingye Group confront the distributors of Coca-Cola and PepsiCo.
