Chapter 147: 10,000 Bids
When Jack came back
Li Yan had already seen it
It's just that because of my own layout, I didn't drive him away
Now Jack and William are about to start
Knowing the time is right
Cough lightly
Deliberately said to Ai Erhua: "Ai Erhua"
"I see William is not interested in the two drinks I brought."
"Please introduce me to other people."
Elhua was stunned
Some people didn't understand what Li Yan meant.
Although Alva did not taste the two drinks
But he could see from William and Jack's behavior
It seems that these two drinks are definitely good
Given William and Jack's current situation, they will definitely fight for these two drinks.
Isn’t Li Yan going to do business?
Now is the best time
Why should I introduce him to other people?
However, Ai Erhua still followed Li Yan's meaning and said: "Li"
"no problem"
"I'm looking for someone else for you."
William and Jack, who were still in a stalemate, reacted
At the same time, he said: "No"
Jack reacted faster and said, "Elva"
My friend
“You can’t go find someone else.”
“How much can I buy the recipes for these two drinks?”
"How about $20?"
William said anxiously: "No"
“Both of these drinks are mine.”
"I'll give you $40"
When Jack heard William's offer
My eyes are red now
Looking at William who was also jealous
I know William is trying his best.
Because they all know
Who owns these two drinks?
Who can survive at this time
Even your own business can be as delicious as
Take it to the next level
Jack gritted his teeth
Shouted: "80 US dollars"
This is all the wealth Jack can afford.
William opened his eyes wide
The presidential suite suddenly became quiet.
Elva was also surprised
Is this crazy?
Elhua looked at Jack and William
He knows Jack and William.
Before the economic crisis, they were the dominant players in the beverage industry.
Million-dollar figures
Now two people are fighting for two unknown, unlisted beverage formulas.
One is determined to win with all his wealth
The other one was hesitant, but based on Elva's understanding of William
William will not give up the fight
As an excellent businessman, Elva
Make a decision in an instant
"Lee, my dear friend"
"If possible, I am willing to pay $400 million on behalf of the Locke family."
Buy the recipes for these two drinks
William and Jack heard the offer from Elva
Directly the body collapsed
But William and Jack seemed to have thought of something.
Suddenly my eyes lit up
Staring at Li Yan
After all, Li Yan is the inventor of these two drinks
If Li Yan wants to cooperate with Ai Erhua
They won't be invited at all.
This means there's something else going on.
Maybe this is a way for Alva and this Asian guy to raise the price of the formula.
They still have a chance
Li Yan also paused slightly
Pulling a cigarette from his pocket
He calmly smoked
In fact, William and Jack were right. There was indeed something else going on.
But it's definitely not a price hike.
Before coming to the United States
Li Yan planned everything
He just wanted to use penicillin to bind the Locke family.
Find a backer
Then implement your plan step by step
But Li Yan definitely doesn't want everything to be tied to the Locke family.
Some people say it's nice to stay cool under a big tree.
But the small trees under the big tree will not grow into trees.
The Locke family is too big.
Even if Li Yan and Ai Erhua have a good relationship
Once Li Yan is no longer useful
The Locke family will definitely devour them without leaving a single bone.
Business also has its own operating rules
Especially the capital market, it is bloody
So at the beginning, Li Yan only asked Ai Erhua to help introduce two small and medium-sized juice factories.
The purpose is to take advantage of the Great Depression in the United States
Use two free drink recipes
Acquired the majority of shares in the two factories
Gain a foothold in the United States
Li Yan knows about the magical carbonated drink in the future.
How crazy the future is in this era
The reason why William and Jack's factory is facing bankruptcy
That's because of their business acumen
Now Elva has entered the market and offered a high price of $400 million.
Caught Li Yan off guard
Li Yan's brain was spinning rapidly
Waited for a while
Li Yan asked William and Jack for two bottles of homemade drinks respectively.
Pick up two more cups from the table
Poured a little bit each
Pass it to Elva
Said: "Try it first"
Elva was not polite either.
I picked up the white drink and took a sip.
Then I couldn't wait to pick up the red drink and took a sip
Soon
A satisfied look on his face
"plum"
"How come these two drinks give me a blissful feeling of being baptized by God?"
“This $400 million is worth it.”
William Jack was completely desperate
Through Elva's expression
William and Jack knew that this was also the first time for Elva to drink these two drinks.
They know the taste of these two drinks.
Can make people unable to stop
Then their idea that Elva and the Asians were colluding to raise prices would not exist.
This time when Elva mentioned $400 million again
it is true
William and Jack's last hope was shattered
$ 400 million
Who can resist the temptation of money?
William and Jack lowered their heads
He sighed deeply
How can they fight against the huge Locke family with their extremely reduced value?
At the same time regret their fight
This made Alva interested in the recipes of these two drinks.
Li Yan said quietly: "I don't want money"
“But we can work together.”
William Jack raised his head at this time
There's a glimmer in the eyes
What else does Elva want to say?
Li Yan waved his hand and said: "Elva"
"I know what you want to say"
“At the same time, I’m not refusing to make money.”
“But I want to ask you a question.”
"William and Jack are both experts in fruit juice drinks"
“Why are we facing such a difficult situation now?”
Elva really wants to say that it is because of the U.S. economic crisis
But Elhua knew that Li Yan would never ask such a superficial question.
I couldn't help but ponder
Li Yan smiled and said to William and Jack: "You can also say something."
Jack said with a sad face: "It's still a delicious low price."
“We lost the market.”
William also said: "There are too many unemployed Americans now."
“No one has money”
“The cost of juice is too high.”
“We’ve lost the competition”
After listening to this, Li Yan shook his head and said, "These are all reasons."
“But it’s definitely not the main reason.”
Take these two drinks for example.
“They all cost less than Coke.”
"Now Coca-Cola is only 5 cents a bottle"
"Can we beat Coca-Cola for 4 cents?"
“What if one day a new drink with lower cost appears?”
“Will they defeat us again?”
"This cycle continues, 3 cents, 2 cents, 1 cent."
“Even cheaper”
William Jack's back began to sweat.
Ai Erhua, Liu Feng, and Huang Siwen were all lost in thought.
Li Yan did not give everyone extra time to think
He continued: "Price war is never the core of business"
“Taste the drinks.”
“It was initially mistaken for a drug.”
“It was not accepted by the public”
“But it’s still a bestseller in the U.S. and has even entered Canada.”
"Is that why?"
Elva thought about it
His eyes lit up and he said, "Popularity"
"publicity"
Li Yan smiled and said, "Not bad."
“But this is just one of the core business methods.”
“Any business will encounter all sorts of strange problems during its growth.”
"What should we do if we encounter a problem? Is the only thing we can do is lower the price?"
"Wrong"
"Lowering prices only brings us closer to death"
Speaking of this
Li Yan's expression changed
Said to Elva William Jack
"This time I'm going to price these two drinks at twenty cents, or even more."
“And it’s more delicious than delicious in half a month”
