C446 Leave a back way (1/2)

”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.
