My girlfriend is from 1949

Although the Coca-Cola formula has always been locked in a safe at the Atlanta Museum.

However, it's not the only company that produces Coca-Cola.

Besides Pepsi as a competitor, there are other brands.

There are also many cola manufacturers in China's domestic market.

However, the vast majority of them do not use the name "Cola".

One of the more famous ones is Fenghuang Cola.

That was a domestic carbonated beverage brand launched in the late 1990s, and it was once known as one of the three major beverage brands in China, along with Very Cola and Jianlibao.

Together, they formed a market structure of "two giants and three youngsters" to rival Coca-Cola and Pepsi.

However, due to marketing mistakes, the market was seized, and sales were poor even after production.

Therefore, it withdrew from the market and was subsequently revoked on October 28, 2005.

Even the once-famous Jianlibao has gradually faded from people's view due to its market share being taken away.

It was only in the last few years that they made a high-profile comeback.

So as long as you're willing to spend the money, getting a Coca-Cola recipe isn't difficult at all!

The ingredients for cola are not complicated, and the new China is fully capable of making it.

The base ingredients are water, carbon dioxide to generate bubbles, and sweeteners.

The flavoring includes caramel coloring, phosphoric acid to adjust acidity, and caffeine to boost alertness.

The formula manuscript, which was revealed in 1979, shows that it contains six plant essential oils: orange, lemon, nutmeg, coriander, neroli, and cinnamon.

It's all about technology. With the power of the nation, finding a few top chemists and combining them with the provided formula, developing a beverage formula would be a piece of cake.

Chen Huai'an was a pragmatist. After consulting with Lin Wan, they both agreed to purchase Coca-Cola machines, and he immediately took out his phone.

"Old Li, I need your help with something."

I want a cola recipe, one that I can use to mix the current market flavors.

It's urgent; I need it within three days.

Okay, thank you for your hard work.

After assigning the task, Chen Huai'an hung up the phone immediately.

Have Li Hao get a cola recipe, whether it's Coca-Cola, Fenghuang Cola, or even a knock-off version of the Leibi recipe.

Once you have the recipe, you can gradually adjust the proportions to achieve a more refined consistency.

I have absolute confidence in the truly talented chemists of the Republic of China era.

Lin Wan reminded her in surprise, "You didn't seem to mention payment."

"That's right, this time there's no pay!"

"You mean...?"

Lin Wan's eyes lit up, and she gave a knowing smile.

……

at the same time

Li Hao sat on the sofa, his eyes glazed over, as if he were deep in thought.

I didn't realize it until the cigarette butt in my hand was almost burning my fingers.

He had just received a call from Chen Huai'an, which left him momentarily speechless.

Strictly speaking, tonight's event was somewhat unfair.

Although cooperating with the National Security Bureau in handling cases is the duty of every citizen.

However, they were somewhat less considerate of Chen Huai'an.

They were even prepared to completely sever ties with each other because of this incident.

Thinking back on the past few months of cooperation, I've made quite a bit of money.

I feel a pang of regret that we probably won't be able to work together again in the future.

Unexpectedly, just when I was feeling down and disappointed, the other party called.

I still need to buy a Coca-Cola formula.

After working together for three months, they were already used to Chen Huai'an's strange requests.

However, there was one difference in our conversation just now compared to the past.

Usually, after the task requirements are mentioned, the next thing to do is to talk about the price and benefits.

Chen Huai'an has always been quite straightforward in this regard; even if the profit margin is lower, everyone is willing to cooperate.

However, the acquisition price and compensation were not mentioned just now.

Li Hao frowned, slowly pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag.

After staring blankly at the ashtray for three minutes, I decisively picked up my phone and made a call.

"Director Zhou, I'm sorry to disturb your rest so late."

"That's right, just now..."

Li Hao repeated the details of buying the formula word for word.

He asked cautiously, "Director Zhou, do you think Chen Huai'an is upset about what happened tonight and is deliberately trying to subtly criticize me?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Zhou Liming's calm voice came through: "I'll give you the formula tomorrow night!"

Beep beep beep...

As Li Hao listened to the busy tone on the phone, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

We're all adults in society; some things don't need to be explained outright.

When it's mentioned whether or not it's directed at oneself, the meaning is already very clear.

To put it bluntly, Chen Huai'an's true intentions were not what they seemed, but rather a calculated move.

Besides genuinely needing their help, it was also an expression of dissatisfaction with tonight's treacherous banquet.

Since everyone is unhappy, they should naturally do something to express it.

Then helping to find the recipe would be a natural step.

Calling Li Hao was a way of sending a message to Zhou Liming.

Who else could find the Coca-Cola formula more easily than this department head?

Moreover, such a confident demand must be backed by solid grounds.

Zhou Liming understood this meaning, which is why he agreed without hesitation.

If, as the analysis suggests, they truly possess the divine ability to travel between dimensions.

Not to mention finding the formula, he could even send someone to the Atlanta Museum to steal the original formula back without any problem!

After hanging up the phone, I sent a message and assigned the task.

After the message was sent.

Ding~!

Lu Tong picked up her phone and saw that it was a message from the section chief. She quickly opened it to read the message.

However, he was clearly taken aback when he saw the task.

However, as elite members of the disciplined forces, they only need to carry out orders.

After replying, his gaze fell on the laptop on the desk.

The content displayed on the screen was Chen Huai'an's online shopping records, including a detailed list of books purchased from Xinhua Bookstore.

As he looked through the books, he muttered to himself in confusion, "Why did he buy so many books about the founding of the People's Republic of China and the Korean War?"

As everyone busied themselves, the night passed.

next day

After having breakfast, Chen Huai'an and Lin Wan drove towards their old rental house in the suburbs.

However, instead of entering the residential area, they went to a grocery store across the street that sells tobacco, alcohol, and beverages.

When Chen Huai'an lived here, he would come to buy cigarettes almost every day.

A familiar voice called out, "Aunt Zhang, two packs of Huazi cigarettes, three packs of Yuxi cigarettes, and three Marlboros! I'm a regular customer, so please don't give me counterfeit stuff!"

She might be called an "auntie" in private, but you have to call her "auntie" to her face.

Otherwise you'll easily get scolded!

I bought so many cigarettes at once, I'm taking them with me to the Republic of China next time.

Offering cigarettes to each other among comrades is not a violation of discipline.

When Aunt Zhang heard that it was a big deal, her eyes narrowed into slits with a smile.

Feigning displeasure, she said, "Auntie, everything here is genuine; there are absolutely no counterfeit products."

Chen Huai'an just smiled and didn't say anything.

Having lived in this neighborhood for two years, I know this greedy auntie all too well.

It means treating people differently based on their status.

Chen Huai'an didn't hesitate and randomly selected two packs of cigarettes to scan their anti-counterfeiting codes.

With a smile, she asked, "Aunt Zhang, could you please give me Lei Bi's contact information?"
