Chapter 520

Baldwin took off from Atlanta and changed planes twice. It took him a day and a night to arrive in Beijing.

"How's it going, Gibson? What has changed in the past 24 hours? " Baldwin didn't care to talk about the past. He asked about the situation here first.

He and Gibson are college classmates, but Baldwin has entered the headquarters and become a senior director. Gibson wanders around the branches all over the world and becomes a technical talent. His rank is still a senior chief engineer. Although he takes a senior engineer, he is actually three grades behind.

However, the relationship between Baldwin and Gibson has always been good. Coca Cola also considered the relationship between Baldwin and Gibson before sending them to China.

In this regard, Coca Cola still attaches great importance to the Chinese market.

This is also very natural. In a country with a population of 1 billion, if everyone drinks Coca Cola, what is the market? Coca Cola will not give up until the last moment.

Moreover, unlike many Chinese people's own imagination, Coca Cola is very confident that China's development will eventually reach the level that everyone can afford Coca Cola.

Of course, they don't think China can develop as far as it can, but it doesn't take many years to reach the level of the Philippines or Malaysia. Most countries, as long as they maintain political stability, can almost reach this level.

The development of India, another populous country often used for comparison, can be used as a reference. Although it has not yet reached the level that everyone drinks cola, even if only one tenth or two tenths of the people do so, it is a big market not inferior to South America.

For a giant multinational company like coca cola, their analysis of the international situation has never been decided by slapping their heads. Most of the time, the board of directors of Coca Cola will refer to the analysis of various think tanks. In addition, they will use the relationship between politicians to understand the actual situation.

For example, the decision to return to China was made by the president of Coca Cola after President Carter's private dinner. Carter was a native of Atlanta, and Coca Cola was headquartered in Atlanta, which made Coca Cola's political influence reach its peak in the late 1970s.

Now, however, it's 1984.

Baldwin carefully and detailed understanding of the situation, and to pick up Sherwood and other mild greetings, and then calmly on board.

After closing the door, Baldwin could not wait to spray out a string of rude words.

"That's his habit." Gibson shrugged at the stunned Sherwood and said, "he was like that in college."

"Because the priest doesn't want to hear rude words." Baldwin took off his suit and explained to Sherwood with a smile on his face: "I went to Catholic school. Primary school and middle school are all Catholic schools. You have to be careful, father. Really..."

"The university is the University of St. Louis." Gibson added. There are many examples of St. Louis University in American history. The more issues of public concern, the more diverse views there are. For example, is the ozone hole really caused by freon? Can biodiesel really change the environment friendly environment? Is oil really the product of ancient organic matter? Is global warming really caused by too much carbon emission?

However, no matter which way is adopted, it means a huge amount of capital and political resources.

Baldwin silently shook his head and said: "targeted papers can not be done in such a short time. Yang Rui has published many papers in many journals, so he is no longer a newcomer."

For a researcher, having a reputation is like holding a flag. Both the magazine and the company will analyze the countermeasures according to his reputation.

Coca Cola has a strong relationship with the government, but it does not mean that they can control the academia.

If it's a little fresh meat, it may be bullied now. Yang Rui has salted himself through one paper after another. Maybe it's not as good as old salted meat, but it's almost delicious.

"Did you organize a welcome party for me?" Baldwin cut off the two most direct solutions, but talked about unrelated things.

Gibson smiles and says, "of course I'm ready. I've got 18 years old whisky. Let's have a good drink."

"I hope you have more than one. I've got a list here. They probably like old whiskey, too. " Baldwin handed Gibson a note and said, "I want a secure line to contact headquarters."
