C447 Seeing Injustice on the Road
However, who could guarantee that the new beverage would be popular among consumers?
Therefore, Zhou Hao had prepared a backup plan in advance. He met with Zhu Huaxi of the Pepsi Company and expressed his intention to sell "Heavenly River. "
If the Coke really bought the Sky River, Zhou Hao would be able to raise a large amount of money in a short period of time, and he would be able to pay off the huge debt he owed.
According to Dai Jiawen's estimation, even if the formula of the orange fruit was sold, the Sky River still had a large mineral water production base in Jing Yu County.
Dai Jiawen knew that the rights to the mineral water in Jingyu County were all in the hands of "Tianhe," and now the market for mineral water was getting bigger and bigger.
Just the mineral water resources of Jingyu County were worth billions of RMB. Adding the factory and production equipment of "Heavenly River," the total value should be between six billion to eight billion RMB.
Moreover, if Pepsi really agreed to purchase Sky River, other than looking at the mineral spring resources of Jingyu County, it would also be very confident in the new beverages developed by Sky River. After all, Coke was like Coca-Cola, and it would not make a loss.
Thus, Dai Jiawen said to the Black Widow, "Black Widow, quickly go and investigate the situation of Zhou Hao's investment failure. Also, the new beverages developed by the Sky River. I want to know what it is. It would be even better if you could get the formula. "
Pausing, he promised the Black Widow, "If you can obtain the formula, I can represent the company and give you 20 million USD in remuneration. "
"20 million? US dollars?" The Black Widow cried out in alarm.
"That's right, it's 20 million US dollars. As long as you can get the formula for the new drink. " Although Dai Jiawen said that, he was sneering in his heart. How could a mere 20 million USD be compared to a beverage that could tempt the heart of a Pepsi?
After ending the call with the Black Widow, Dai Jia thought about it. First of all, whether or not Zhou Hao really wanted to sell "Sky River" to the Pepsi Coke, he had to first buy the formula for the "orange fruit grain. " Then, he would deal with this matter.
In fact, he knew that his company was also interested in "Sky River," even without the new beverage. The spring water in Jing Yu County was also a piece of fat meat. He could not let it fall into the mouth of a Pepsi.
After Zhou Hao and Liang Xiaobing left the Sheraton Hotel, Liang Xiaobing asked him, "Hao, do you really owe a lot of money for your business? In my account. I may not be able to help much, but you can take it and use it. "
The album of Chronicles was sold at a high price, and her dividend was more than 10 million. Originally, the record company would not give too much dividends to a new singer like her.
But because she was the woman of the big boss behind the scenes, Zhou Hao, Sea King Records did not dare to deduct anything from her. They even secretly treated Liang Xiaobing as their Lady Boss.
Adding the money that Zhou Hao transferred to her account previously, Liang Xiaobing's current account had a total of seventy to eighty million HKD.
Because what she used to eat now was the Sea King Records reimbursement, there was also the nanny car provided by the Sea King Records, and she lived with Su Lin in the half-mountain villa in Hong Kong, so her daily life did not have much spending, and the money in her account had not been moved much.
Just now, she heard Zhou Hao tell Dai Jiayi that the capital flow of her failed investment was not working, so she was very anxious. However, Dai Jiayi was also present at that time, so it was not convenient for her to ask Zhou Hao about it.
"Silly girl, who am I? I have been investing for so long, but I have never failed before. " Zhou Hao laughed loudly. " What I said just now was not true. You don't have to take it to heart. Those are just some of my business skills. "
Liang Xiaobing curled her lips and hit Zhou Hao. "Then you didn't tell me in advance. You made me worry for a long time. "
"Hehe. It's my fault this time. It won't be like this next time. " Zhou Hao said.
Liang Xiaobing looked at the bustling night scene in Shanghai and smiled. "The last time I came to Shanghai, I only passed by in a hurry and didn't take a good look around. Since I'm free today, you can accompany me for a stroll. "
Zhou Hao naturally wouldn't reject her request. Thus, he held her hand and started strolling along the streets of Shanghai.
Although Shanghai was very different from Zhou Hao's previous life, where many buildings didn't exist, compared to the newcomers, Zhou Hao was more familiar with Shanghai and knew some snacks and delicacies that were hidden in the corners of the streets.
In a short while, Liang Xiaobing was already holding a bag of dumplings and various snacks in her hands. Fortunately, it was late at night, and she was walking on the inner side of the street. Zhou Hao was blocking her outside. So no one recognized her.
Otherwise, the photos of the new popular singer Liang Xiaobing wolfing down food on the street would have been posted in all the major entertainment magazines.
On the other hand, the tall and handsome Zhou Hao attracted the attention of many Shanghai girls, and the number of people who turned back was even higher than some beautiful girls.
As they strolled around, Zhou Hao and Liang Xiaobing suddenly saw a group of people in front of them, pointing and discussing amongst themselves.
Curious, the two of them walked over. When they entered the crowd, Zhou Hao and Liang Xiaobing saw that it was a store that sold bags.
A medium-sized boy, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with tattered clothes, was standing in front of the store with his head lowered. There was a card hanging on his neck with a few black words written on it - "I'm a thief, I deserve to die!"
A fat middle-aged man was cursing at the boy with a face full of shame. It seemed that he was the owner of this restaurant.
The fat boss spoke Shanghai. Liang Xiaobing could not understand him at all. However, looking at the twitching muscles on his face, she knew that what he said was definitely not good words.
Zhou Hao had lived in Shanghai for ten years in his previous life. Even if he did not know how to speak Shanghai, he could understand it. He heard the boss constantly scolding the boy. There were no lack of words such as "rotten b * tch," "longevity head," hillbilly, or "13 points.
It was unknown whether the boy could understand the scolding words of the fat boss, but he kept his head down. His face was full of shame and humiliation. There were still tears in his eyes, but he held back his tears.
"Hao, why did that boss want him to hang a sign on his chest? Even if he stole his things, call the police. That's right, there's no need to insult him like this. " Liang Xiaobing could not stand what that fat boss did.
Zhou Hao also could not stand it, so he let go of Liang Xiaobing's hand and walked up to the boy and the fat boss. He said to the fat boss, "Did he steal your things?"
The fat boss saw Zhou Hao suddenly walk out as if he wanted to stand up for the thief, so he couldn't help looking at Zhou Hao from head to toe.
Then he heard Zhou Hao say, "Even if he stole your things, you can't insult her like this. This is illegal, you know. "
The fat boss was stunned for a moment and then replied, "Gu Nassai (What does that have to do with you)?"
Zhou Hao ignored him and turned to ask the boy, "What did you steal from him?"
The boy looked at Zhou Hao and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I. . . I took two buns from his shop. "
He explained anxiously, "My mother is sick. She hasn't eaten anything all day, and I don't have any money on me. I. . . I just want to borrow two buns. When I have money, I will definitely return it. "
Hearing his Northeast accent, Zhou Hao knew that this boy was from the Northeast.
Zhou Hao also intuitively felt that he was not lying. Although no one would believe him if he said that he only wanted to lend two buns to his mother to eat, Zhou Hao knew that his intuition was not wrong.
"You, you should believe me. What I said is true. " The boy said to Zhou Hao. The tears that he had been holding back earlier were now gushing out.
Zhou Hao patted his shoulder and took the card off his neck.
When the fat boss saw Zhou Hao's actions, he immediately cursed, "What do you want to do, you son of a b * tch!"
"How much did he take your two buns for?" Zhou Hao looked at him and asked.
"Five dollars. " The fat boss said.
Zhou Hao took out a hundred-dollar bill and handed it to the fat boss. The fat boss was stunned for a moment and wanted to find money to give to Zhou Hao.
Just like what Zhou Hao had said, Shanghai people would not take advantage of others, but they would not take advantage of others either.
However, Zhou Hao stopped the fat boss and said lightly, "My friend just said that he borrowed those two buns from you. The extra money will be considered interest. "
Hearing what Zhou Hao said, the fat boss stopped looking for money. He turned around and wanted to go back to the store, but was stopped by Zhou Hao.
"Wait, since I have already returned the money to you on behalf of my friend, he can't be considered a thief anymore.
Besides, what you did to him just now was a misuse of your punishment, and you violated my friend's dignity. This is against the law. " Zhou Hao took out his phone and was about to call the police.
When the fat boss saw that Zhou Hao wanted to call the police, his facial expression changed. He reached out and grabbed Zhou Hao's hand and said, "Friend, what do you want?"
"Let the police handle this matter. " Zhou Hao said matter-of-factly, "You violated my friend's dignity. This is not allowed by the law. Of course, the police will handle it. "
"Friend, leave a line in everything. It will be easier for us to meet in the future. " The fat on the fat boss's face twitched.
"Okay. " Zhou Hao narrowed his eyes and smiled. "It's fine if you don't call the police. But you should wear this plate for a while. It says, I won't dare to insult other people's dignity in the future. "
