Chapter 130

The Spring Festival holiday ended soon, and on the evening of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Zitai took a plane back to Shanghai.

Maybach asked the accompanying bodyguards to drive back slowly. Eight or nine hours' drive was still too far.

Early the next morning, Lin Zitai came to the Prince's Building. Twelve floors of the 33rd floor were already put into use, and the [-]th floor was also being renovated overtime, striving to be completed as soon as possible.

"Mr. Lin, happy New Year."

"Let's have fun together, this is a specialty of our hometown."

Lin Muqing, Liu Xiaojun and others arrived at the conference room early. They met to wish each other a happy New Year, say a few nice words, and exchange local specialty products.

Lin Zitai also gave out a few symbolic red envelopes. Although everyone here is older than him, who makes him the boss.

After greetings and getting down to business, Lin Zitai asked: "Director He, how long will it take for the Suzhou production base to be put into production?"

He Guangjian replied: "Red Bull's nine production lines will start loading the day after tomorrow. They are expected to arrive in four days. Assembly and debugging will take about ten days, and they will be successfully put into production in about half a month."

The existence of Mojin is a dimensionality-reducing blow to the entire domestic functional beverage market. Nowadays, Red Bull is like Dongpeng in the past, with warehouses everywhere filling up.

When the warehouse is full, work and production can only be suspended. Even though Red Bull's management tried their best to appease their subordinates, some manufacturers were still unable to withstand the pressure and chose to sell the factory's production lines.

Although the cold filling aseptic production line is a high-quality asset, Red Bull's production line is too high-end, and there are only a few domestic companies that are qualified to take over and put it into production.

Red Bull's production line is like a high-end commercial vehicle. Except for themselves and Mojin, other domestic companies can only use it as a van when they buy it back.

The value of commercial vehicles exists, but there is no market for it. Red Bull's market is constantly being eroded, and the future of the company is dim.

At this time, Mojin was willing to repurchase it at a fair price and promised distribution rights to several prefecture-level cities, so that even if they could not produce Red Bull in the future, they would have other revenue channels.

With coercion and inducements, the Red Bull agent manufacturer fell directly.

"In this way, the Sioux City production base has ten production lines, with a daily production capacity of 1290 million cans, about 71 boxes."

Lin Zitai pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Continue to release the news about the acquisition of the production line, but try to delay it as long as possible."

The production base in Humen has twelve production lines, and the production base in Suzhou now also has ten production lines.

There are a total of 22 production lines, which can basically satisfy the market across the country. Any more may lead to overcapacity.

Although Mojin does not intend to acquire it, the news still needs to be released to give them a try and ask them to stop work and production.

When they find that they have been eliminated and want to resume production, the cost of production and time will increase.

There is a drawback to fully automated production. People can stop, but the machine cannot, otherwise it will be troublesome to re-debug.

Adding trouble to them can also buy some time.

Lin Zitai picked up the sales comparison report of Mojin and Red Bull in various provinces across the country in January this year.

Almost all markets in coastal provinces belong to Mojin, but the further inland and north, Red Bull is still far ahead.

As a leading brand for more than [-] years, the concept of staying up late and driving to drink Red Bull has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It will take time for Mojin Drink to replace it, and it also needs to continue marketing.

Lin Zitai looked at Hou Yutao from the marketing department: "This year's Mojin promotion budget is about [-] million. From the beginning to the end of the year, we will prepare a complete plan and hand it over to me within a week."

Hou Yutao was stunned and hesitated: "Mr. Lin, one week is too short."

Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and starting tomorrow it will be the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, but employees will not come to work until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, so there are actually only six days in a week.

A product promotion plan worth up to [-] million has to be completed within six days. Thinking about it makes people feel numb.

Lin Zitai looked at him: "Can you do it?"

Hou Yutao nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay!"

He was afraid that Lin Zitai would say something like this in the next second, if he couldn't do it, then replace him with someone else. With the character of Mr. Lin, it was absolutely possible for him to say something like this.

Lin Zitai looked at Lin Muqing again: "Mr. Lin, there are several customers in Saudi Arabia. From the beginning of the new year, you will be responsible for contacting them and striving for a cooperation plan that is satisfactory to both parties."

As an intermediary, Jon from HSBC has been helping them contact Saudi Aramco, who has a strong intention to cooperate.

I plan to come to China in a few days to inspect the market and decide on the agency rights of Mojin Beverage in Europe and the United States.

The production base in Su City has not been completed yet, so they can only go to the production base in Humen to inspect and visit.

Moreover, starting this year, Lin Zitai also plans to put more responsibilities on Lin Muqing and let him take over all Mojin's business.

Lin Muqing looked shocked and looked at Liu Xiaojun. Liu Xiaojun should have been solely responsible for Mojin's cross-border business.

Liu Xiaojun smiled and nodded slightly.

He is a brick, moving wherever there is need.

Now he can see that Lin Zitai's career focus is not on Mojin at all, it has always been Prince Pharmaceuticals.

Liu Xiaojun is the general manager of Prince Pharmaceuticals. As long as his position remains unchanged, he will still be Lin Zitai's confidant.

Lin Zitai asked: "Mr. Lin, do you have any questions?"

Lin Muqing replied: "No."

"The work this year will be very arduous. Let's work hard and work hard to successfully launch Mojin by the end of this year or early next year."

After the New Year's plans were laid out and the meeting ended, Lin Zitai stopped Mo Wenzhi and said, "Director Mo, you stay."

All development plans require a large amount of financial support. If you don't have funds, you can only get a loan from a bank. If the loan limit is full, you can only get financing.Mo Wenzhi said knowingly: "Mr. Lin, the total cost of the nine production lines is estimated to be 13.5 billion. Taking into account Mr. Lin's capital reserves, Mojin only has 5.2 million on its account now."

Lin Zitai asked: "How much money is left in the group's account?"

"The group still has 18.6 billion, of which 5.8 million is used to pay for the construction of the laboratory, and 2.7 million is used to pay for the purchased equipment. Currently, the available funds are only 10.1 billion."

Each company is an independent entity, especially since Mojin has gone through mergers, acquisitions and financing and is no longer Lin Zitai’s personal assets.

Even if the group has enough funds, it cannot give it directly to Mojin. It must either pursue investment jointly with shareholders or borrow money.

Lin Zitai pondered for a moment: "You first go to President Liu of ICBC and see how much loan amount Mojin Beverage can get."

Strictly speaking, Mojin, which is valued at US$28 billion, has actual liabilities of only 5.6 million RMB.

This foreign debt was originally lent to Mojin by the group for development, and all foreign debts were borne by the group.

It's almost the harvest season now, and Lin Zitai will not invest half a dime in Mo Jin in the future.

If you don’t have money, borrow from a bank, and if you still don’t have money, get financing. If you still don’t have money, just go public to make money.

When a company has developed to a certain level, it is a very foolish approach to invest personal money in the company.

After all, there is so much money in the bank. It would be a despicable waste to leave it unused, and it would only cost a little interest.

Moreover, the cycle of commercial loans is the same as that of home loans, with a maximum of 30 years, and you can also pay interest first and then pay principal.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, leaders of various departments began to take action. The temptation of going public within a year was irresistible.

Lin Zitai’s words that day still ring in their ears. As long as Mojin is listed, they will all become billionaires.

This is Lin Zitai's promise, and they firmly believe it.

Lin Zitai took a sip of coffee and turned to look at Su Jiayue: "Xiao Su, is Duan Jianfeng here?"

"Classmate Duan, I came here yesterday."

Su Jiayue lowered her head to organize the information on the table, put away the confidential documents, and put them in the safe later.

Lin Zitai looked confused: "Yesterday? You didn't go home for the New Year this year?"

"I passed, but I came here in my second year of junior high school."

"What? Not happy at home?"

“Of course I’m not happy if I don’t have money.”

On the day of the annual meeting, Su Jiayue was very unlucky. She only drew the Sunshine Award of 1200 yuan. She didn't want to accept the golden monkey and planned to return it to Ye Xeyue at some time.

Lin Zitai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took out a prepared document and said, "Let's take a look. If there's no problem, sign it."

Su Jiayue is just his assistant, and her salary has not been high over the years. The average monthly salary is [-], which is not even as high as the new marketing director Hou Yutao last year.

Starting this year, Lin Zitai plans to put more responsibilities on her and help her transform from an ordinary work assistant to a secretary-general.

In the future, when Mojin Beverage goes on the market, she will become the secretary of the board of directors and even be qualified to compete with Lin Muqing for executive director.

Just like Tang Xiaolong, who is the mayor's secretary, although he is currently at the deputy director level, once he is decentralized, his official rank will be greatly improved, and he will also be transferred to the actual power department.

In the same way, Su Jiayue, as Lin Zitai's work assistant, has been with him for five years, and has a very good understanding of his abilities and character. She is definitely a confidant, and it is time to give her some real power.

After being promoted, the salary should also increase sharply. The monthly salary was canceled in the contract, and the annual salary was tentatively set at 300 million.

It is only lower than Liu Xiaojun and Lin Muqing, but it is the same as the financial director Mo Wenzhi.

Su Jiayue was silent for a long time after reading the contract.

Lin Zitai was confused: "Why, 300 million annual salary is not enough, I only have 1200 million."

Although he doesn't expect to make money from his salary, he still makes up his annual salary. He is a bastard who doesn't make money if he has money. He is not as hypocritical as Lao Ma.

A smile appeared on Su Jiayue's face: "Satisfied, of course, the boss finally has a conscience."

It can be seen from the terms of the contract that Lin Zitai actually trusts her, but after her promotion, she can no longer be responsible for Lin Zitai personally, but has to be responsible for the entire company.

There may be more and more distance between the two of them.

Lin Zitai thought for a while, then guessed and asked, "Did you go home during the Chinese New Year and be urged to get married?"

Su Jiayue's face turned dark immediately: "Boss, are you the roundworm in my stomach?"

"No matter how big it is, I was pushed."

"You are a man and I am a woman, can it be the same? The pressure to get married becomes greater the older you are in your 30s."

"Work hard. You are only 27 years old anyway. When I develop the elixir of life, I will ensure that you stay young forever."

"I hope I have the life to wait until that day."

"Are you questioning me? Okay, I accept your challenge."

Lin Zitai went to the office upstairs with a smile and asked Duan Jianfeng to study further in order to graduate early and start research and development.
