"This …" Zhou Hao looked at Liang Xiaobing beside him.

Dai Jia saw that he seemed to have something up his sleeve, so he smiled and said, "Mr Zhou, although we aren't exactly friends, we should have a lot of opportunities to work together in the future.

If you have any difficulties, just say so. As long as I can help, I definitely won't stand idly by. "

Zhou Hao's face revealed an expression of gratitude, and said to Dai Jia instantly, "President Dai, thank you so much.

"Sigh, then I won't hide it from you. Actually, there was a problem with the other businesses that I invested in, which resulted in the funds in my hands not being able to be transferred over. That's why I had no choice but to sell the 'Fruit Jelly Orange' formula as an emergency measure."

Hearing Zhou Hao's words, Dai Jia suddenly realised, no wonder Zhou Hao anxiously wanted to sell the "Fruit Jelly Orange" formula to make a profit.

However, he also thought that with the support of Zhao Family, if Zhou Hao failed to invest, he would need to earn a lot of money, and with the energy in his Zhao Family, he should be able to easily solve the problem.

However, there was a possibility that Zhou Hao and his Zhao Family were involved in this secret, so Dai Jia could not question him any further and could only suppress the curiosity in his heart.

Moreover, since she knew that Zhou Hao was anxious to take advantage of the situation, even if Dai Jiaxi were to take the initiative, he would have a good position in the negotiation of the "Fruit Jelly Orange" formula.

Sure enough, Zhou Hao said: "CEO Dai, since you know about my problem, about the price, can you..."

"Mr Zhou, it's not that I don't want to help you, but although I'm the manager of the company in China, I don't have the power to make decisions even if I have to invest more than a billion dollars."

Hearing Dai Jia Yi's words, Zhou Hao sneered in his heart.

As president of Dai Jiashen Coca-Cola in China, the amount of money he could decide on was definitely more than a billion yuan, about a billion dollars.

However, Zhou Hao's face did not reveal anything, but said with a pleading tone: "President Dai, regarding the price, can you help out? If this is done, I will definitely thank you, CEO Dai. "

He purposely emphasized the word 'thank you' to Dai Jia as it was a form of reward to him.

Dai Jia thought for a moment. "How about 1.5 billion?" Mr Zhou, this is already a very high price. "

Zhou Hao shook his head: "No, CEO Dai, I will not beat around the bush, my final baseline is 2.5 billion."

Seeing that Dai Jia was about to refuse, he continued, "Dai, if you don't accept this price, then forget about it. I can only discuss it with Pepsi Cola. I believe they are also interested in the 'Fruit Jelly Orange' formula."

When Dai Jia heard that Zhou Hao was looking for someone from the Pepsi Cola Hall, his face immediately changed.

Pepsi is Coca-Cola's biggest competitor. If they were to buy the formula for "Fruit Jelly Orange" this time around, they would definitely beat Coca-Cola in the market competition.

Moreover, even if there were rivals such as "More Fresh Orange", according to Dai Jiaxi's estimate, "Fruit Orange" would have at least three to four years of selling time. At a profit of 1.5 to 2 billion yuan per year, Coca-Cola could earn at least 4.5 billion yuan from "Fruit Orange".

No matter how one looked at it, this was not a lose-lose deal.

Moreover, if Pepsi was able to get the 'Fruit Jelly Orange' formula, in terms of the market profit, at least Coca-Cola would lose to Pepsi in terms of momentum and face. This was something that Headquarters did not want to see, and Dai Jiaxing's position would also drop by a lot.

Therefore, after considering it over and over again, Dai Jia instantly said to Zhou Hao, "Alright, Mr Zhou, I can accept the offer of 2.5 billion yuan. However, I need you to sign a contract with me."

"What contract?" Zhou Hao asked.

Dai Jia instantly said solemnly, "It means that you won't be able to produce fruit drinks again."

After Zhou Hao heard this, he knew that Dai Jia was trying to gain complete control of the beverages market, so he pondered for a while.

He nodded and answered, "No problem, but I also have a condition. That 2.5 billion will be transferred to the account within a week. Dai CEO, can you do that?"

Dai Jia instantly raised his right hand towards Zhou Hao and laughed, "Mr Zhou, let's cooperate happily."

After a detailed discussion, Zhou Hao left with Liang Xiaobing. Dai Jia managed to complete this business in an instant. He was in a good mood so he decided to stay and eat a meal before leaving.

At this moment, the phone in his arms rang.

When he saw the phone number, he frowned. This number belonged to the Black Widow.

"Hello, this is Dai Jiaxi." He put the phone to his ear.

"Mister Dai, I am the Black Widow." A woman's voice came over the phone.

Dai Jia instantly replied with an unfriendly tone, "I know it's you, hmph!" You still have the nerve to call me? Do you know that if you can take back the recipe for 'Fruit Jelly Orange', our company won't have to pay more than 2 billion yuan? "

The Black Widow on the other side was scolded in such a manner for no reason. Naturally, it was somewhat furious, but it did not dare to retort back to Dai Jia. It could only say, "Mr. Dai, they are very strict with the laboratory guards.

However, Mr. Dai, we found something else and was about to report to you. "

Dai Jia replied faintly, "What's the matter?"

"Mister Dai, are Zhou Hao and the rest going to sell you the 'Fruit Jelly Orange' formula?"

"Yeah."

The Black Widow asked, "You agreed?"

Dai Jia replied instantly, "Yes, what's wrong? Is there something fishy going on?"

"We found out that Zhou Hao seemed to be in the midst of some failed investment business, and was in a huge debt of billions of dollars."

"I already know about that. He sold the recipe of 'Fruit Jelly Orange' to our company just to cash out." Dai Jia replied instantly.

The Black Widow said, "It's not that simple. We found it. 'Tianhe' has developed a new beverage. We do not know the specifics.

However, according to our speculation, this beverage will bring a huge profit as soon as it comes out of the market, even more than the Fruit Orange. The Tianhe people seem to have a lot of confidence in this.

According to our investigations and conjectures, the reason why Zhou Hao sold the formula for 'Fruit Seed Orange' was not to cash in his debt, but to raise funds to produce this new type of beverage on a large scale.

Hearing that, Dai Jia instantly became shocked, and she muttered to herself, "So you're saying that the two billion is not even enough for Zhou Hao to repay his debt, and his real goal is to produce this new type of beverage?"

"According to our investigation, that's the truth." The Black Widow said.

Hearing the Black Widow's words, and thinking back to the time when Zhou Hao negotiated with her, Dai Jia instantly could not help but say, "Tsk, tsk, this Zhou Hao guy is really scheming, I thought he sold the 'Fruit Jelly Orange' recipe for just to earn some money."

Thinking of this, he could not help but ask the Black Widow, "Black Widow, is your information accurate?"

Although he didn't dare to talk back to Dai Jia, the Black Widow's voice still revealed its dissatisfaction. "Mister Dai, if you don't trust us, then we can officially terminate our relationship with your company."

This time, Dai Jiaxi did not dare to be stubborn. The Black Widow, a small organization that was a commercial spy, had already cooperated with Coca-Cola several times and had a good relationship with the headquarters. He even had a place to borrow their money.

Therefore, he immediately explained, "Don't misunderstand, it's not that I don't trust you, but this is no small matter. I need to think about it carefully."

He recalled Zhou Hao's previous expression and tone, and felt even more that even though Zhou Hao was young, his scheming was not to be underestimated.

Dai Jia instantly believed that he was in a rush to cash in because of the failure of his investment and thus followed Zhou Hao's train of thought to buy the [Fruit Seed Orange] recipe.

When she thought about it just now, she had thought that she had occupied the active position, but now, it seemed that she had completely fallen into Zhou Hao's line of thought, and had been led along by his nose this entire time.

Although the recipe of "Fruit Jelly Orange" was harmless to Coca-Cola, he felt depressed when he thought about how he was played around by a young man like Zhou Hao along the way.

If not for the fact that Coca-Cola buried the Black Widow in the "Milky Way" earlier this morning, he would not have known about it.

"Black Widow, how much money does Zhou Hao and the others need to mass produce that new type of beverage?" Dai Jia asked instantly.

"It's estimated to be around two billion yuan, and he also borrowed a lot of money from the bank, which is enough for him to produce on a large scale."

Dai Jia instantly cursed in his mind, "So that's how it is, and he even said that the bottom line is 2.5 billion yuan, so that's why he wants to raise production funds."

At this moment, the Black Widow lowered its voice and said, "Mr. Dai, we've found another thing, but we still don't know if it's true or not."

"What is it? Tell me."

"Before going to Shanghai, Zhou Hao seemed to have met Zhu Huaxi, the CEO of Pepsi Cola in Hong Kong."

The Black Widow said, "We still don't know the exact details of their conversation, but we speculated that Zhou Hao and Zhu Huaxi seemed to be discussing the sale of the entire 'Milky Way'. Because, Zhou Hao had brought the evaluation report of the 'Milky Way' with him. "

"What!?" Dai Jia instantly found it hard to sit still, he did not think that Zhou Hao had plans to sell the entire "Milky Way".

The Black Widow said, "We speculated that Zhou Hao was afraid that the new type of drink wouldn't bring enough profits to pay off his debts and working capital in a short period of time, so he deliberately left a way out."
