Chapter 234 Arrangements for soda and bar!
When Chen Jincheng received this reward, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
The next moment, as the game system distributed rewards, a stream of information flooded into his mind, and then there was a recipe for soda.
As a veteran bartender in his previous life, he naturally knew how popular soda was in bars. It could be said that soda was the most common drink among young people or in booths with girls.
After soda came out, beer basically fell into obscurity and was replaced.
Naturally, some people will talk about foreign liquor, but except for those high-end bars, only a few people order foreign liquor in normal bars.
When he arrived in this world, he discovered that there was no soda in the nightclub.
Because of development differences, the world obviously did not develop soda.
At the beginning, he also thought about making soda wine, but unfortunately he didn't know the recipe at all. This is not like a short video that can be copied and moved by those who have seen long legs and popular planners with memory.
There was no recipe, he was completely clueless and didn't even know what ingredients to buy.
He really admired the protagonists in those novels who traveled through time. They were obviously just ordinary people with a salary of a few thousand yuan, but after traveling through time, they could easily make glass, soap, and even make steam steel.
It stands to reason that people with such abilities would not be ordinary people in reality and would be able to achieve something.
Unfortunately, he really didn't have that ability and couldn't even make a soda.
So, he gave up the idea of making soda wine at that time.
I didn't expect that the game system would reward me with the recipe today. In my previous life, when soda wine first came out, it was indeed an Internet celebrity product and was not even noticed by beer brands.
The result is predictable. In nightclubs, countless beer brands were directly killed.
This also made his eyes brighter.
Because in my previous life, I often frequented bars, and my company also had a project related to alcoholic beverages. Before traveling through time, I had seen the situation of soda wine. In 2023, the soda wine market had reached 7500 billion.
All major liquor brand companies have launched their own sodas one after another, and the competition is fierce.
There is no soda wine in the world now. If he is the first to launch it, even if those wine brand companies join in later, he will be the first to build the brand with the advantage of first-mover advantage, plus the advantages of internet celebrities and publicity planning. He will definitely get the biggest piece of the pie in the soda wine market.
Without any hesitation, Chen Jincheng called Wang Yuan and A Pao respectively and asked them to come to Second Life Star.
At the same time, he also looked at the employee list information:
Name: Wang Yuan
Loyalty: 85
Status: National Day is coming soon, and the bar hasn’t come up with a good plan yet. How can it attract people?
...
Name: Chen Dapao
Loyalty: 90
Status: My son is about to be born, what should I name him? And that bastard A Bing, he doesn't take good care of the place, always hooking up with that rich woman, let him just be a male model.
...
Chen Jincheng smiled as he looked at the two of them.
Wang Yuan's mind is on work. Although he lacks ability, he is very obedient and will do his job conscientiously.
Ah Pao, a gangster left over from the later era, is now obsessed with his children and worries about his subordinates.
The loyalty level of Wang Yuan has now reached 85. After all, he is not an ordinary worker. He has been managing the bar, and his salary and status have increased. It is normal for his loyalty to the boss to increase over time.
At the beginning, A Pao was afraid of losing his job because his wife was pregnant, so he accepted the other party and let him continue to be the head of internal security. His loyalty was already 85 (Chapter 10).
I have driven him privately several times during this period of time, and his loyalty has increased to 90.
In the other person's mind, the boss allowed him to drive exclusively, which meant that he was regarded as a confidant.
These people who come from the underworld are sometimes divided into two extremes.
Some people will do anything for profit and have extremely bad character, while others have a sense of justice and loyalty. If you use them well, they will go through fire and water for you.
Apao obviously belongs to the latter category.
Therefore, he felt relieved to leave the internal security of the Extreme Bar to A Pao, and he had been paying less attention to the situation at the bar.
The reason why the two were called over was because of the soda incident.
There aren't many available people around him now, and he needs to have contact with the wine industry, and the only person he is familiar with is Wang Yuan.
Therefore, whether for the sake of confidentiality or for assurance, only Wang Yuan can use the soda wine.
Fortunately, although Wang Yuan lacks ability, he is obedient and others will do whatever he says.
Wang Yuan was transferred out to make soda, and someone else had to be found to be in charge of the bar affairs.
A Pao is a very suitable person.
Firstly, he is very loyal. In modern society, being a bar security guard requires not only force but also tact.
Things are different now than before. There are no more bar smashes or hacking incidents. The biggest problem is that some drinkers, after drinking a little, don't know their own limitations and start fighting with others.
Therefore, the role of internal security comes into play at this time. It is not only to stop the two parties fighting, but also to prevent both parties from blaming the bar.
This requires a smooth approach.
Calling the police is the last resort, as no one wants to be in a place where the police are present all day long.
A Pao has always handled this aspect very well. As long as Wang Yuan and he take over well, there will be no problem in managing the Extreme Bar.
After calling the two people, Chen Jincheng began to think about the situation about soda wine in his previous life, while also typing on the computer and writing down a plan.
In another world, there is a reason why soda is popular in bars.
Firstly, soda wine has a lower alcohol content than traditional wine, so it doesn’t taste too strong, which is especially suitable for those friends who can’t drink strong liquor.
This low alcohol content makes soda wine suitable for daily leisure or party drinking, and it is not easy to make people drunk quickly.
I used to get drunk after drinking 3 bottles of beer, but I can still be sober after drinking 3 bottles of soda.
The key is that the price is the same as beer. If the bar wants to get a girl drunk, the drinker doesn't know how much he has to drink.
So, seeing that this wine is popular, the bar is naturally happy to promote it.
Secondly, soda wine has a fresh taste and unique flavor. It has the stimulation of alcohol, the sweetness of juice, and the refreshing feeling of carbonation. It has a unique taste.
This unique taste makes soda wine very popular in nightclubs and bars, and can quickly arouse excitement and relaxation among young people.
Third, young people are beginning to pursue a state of being "tipsy but not drunk", a state in which they can put aside their worries and feel very relaxed. They are unwilling to harm their health or affect their normal work and life due to drinking.
Drinkers who want to enjoy a slight tipsiness will like this kind of wine, and most of them are female customers. Once female customers like this kind of wine, those who understand will understand.
The fourth is naturally that the packaging of soda wine is exquisite, has a strong visual impact, and is suitable for use in entertainment venues.
Fifth, advertising and social media promotion also played an important role. The identity of an internet celebrity product also made soda wine quickly popular among young people.
And this fifth point is what he is best at now.
So, now all he has to do is make the wine and copy the packaging of one of the most popular soda brands in the world.
……
Jin Mao Tower.
Wang Yuan arrived here not long after, and after getting off the car, he saw Ah Pao also getting off another car. When the two met, Wang Yuan greeted him: "Ah Pao, the boss called you too?"
Ah Pao nodded immediately and asked curiously, "Yes, Mr. Wang, why did the boss call us here?"
"I don't know either." Wang Yuan shook his head, not sure either.
The boss usually doesn't care about the bar's affairs. He is always here at Second Life Star and only pays attention to the movements of artists.
After all, many artists in Second Life Star, including Jiang Xiaobai and Cen Ning, came from Extreme Bar.
Cen Ning and Wang Qiqi, who are currently in charge of the Extreme Bar, are also artists of Second Life Star.
The boss called them both over today, there must be something important.
After taking the elevator to the 8th floor, the two arrived at the company, told the girl at the front desk their purpose, and were then taken to Chen Jincheng's office.
"boss!"
"boss!"
When the two saw Chen Jincheng, they immediately greeted him respectfully.
"Lao Wang, A Pao, you're here, please sit down!" Chen Jincheng smiled and asked the two to sit down, and asked his secretary Xi Meng to pour a cup of tea for them.
After the two of them drank a sip of tea, Wang Yuan also asked curiously: "Boss, I wonder why you called us here today?"
Seeing this, Chen Jincheng handed Wang Yuan his printed plan for soda wine: "Lao Wang, take a look at this plan."
Wang Yuan nodded, took the plan and started reading it.
At first, when he looked at the plan, he only knew that it was a plan for a liquor company. He realized that the boss was planning to set up a liquor company, so the first step of the plan was to acquire a winery. However, he had never heard of what soda wine was.
But soon, he saw a surprising number: "3 million".
The owner of this liquor company plans to invest 3 million yuan.
He can be considered a high-level worker. After all, after the Extreme Bar was upgraded to a high-end venue, his income is comparable to that of many company executives.
But for him, an investment of 3 million is definitely a huge deal.
Naturally, Chen Jincheng definitely does not have 3 million now. Adding the 2500 million he earned from Guanghui Plaza, his total balance is less than 6000 million.
Now the sales of "Dimple" have reached 1350 million, with a 70% share. After paying taxes, the total amount he can make is about 8500 million.
However, the planning that cooperates with the publicity association can make a lot of money, and all the assets together should be around 1.5 million.
But if you want to take a big enough piece of the soda wine market cake, the scale cannot be small. You must start with a large enough scale to be able to snowball in the early stage and then resist those brand wines that enter the market.
Otherwise, they can easily use their capital to suppress others.
3 million is a number he calculated.
However, given his current situation, he can still raise 3 million.
He can borrow from Lin Hao, or he can borrow from the bank through the publicity association. There is always a way.
It won’t be to the point where we can’t even get this project off the ground.
Seeing Wang Yuan finish reading the plan, Chen Jincheng also said, "Old Wang, this soda wine project will be a very important business for me in the future. I don't have anyone to use, so I plan to let you take charge."
"Let me take responsibility?" Wang Yuan was immediately surprised.
He was aware of his own abilities, so he always reminded himself to listen to his boss so that he would always have a meal.
If he really relied on his own abilities, there would be no chance that anyone would give him this kind of project to take charge of. He didn't expect that the boss would now let him take charge of this project.
"Don't want to?" Chen Jincheng asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes!" Wang Yuan nodded immediately and explained, "I'm just afraid that I'm not capable enough."
To be honest, compared to the bar, the success of this project is of great value that cannot be compared to that of the Extreme Bar. The person in charge has the same status that cannot be compared to that of a bar manager.
So, how could I not want to?
He is still worried about his own lack of ability and afraid that he will mess up his boss's job, then he will be to blame.
"Lao Wang, just do what I say." Chen Jincheng said directly. For this kind of project, all he wanted was for the other party to obey and execute according to his ideas.
"Thank you, boss. I won't let you down." Wang Yuan didn't hesitate any more and promised quickly.
At that moment, Chen Jincheng also looked at the employee information in his mind. Wang Yuan's loyalty increased by another 5 points, reaching 90.
This also made Chen Jincheng feel more at ease.
Then, he smiled and said, "Then, Lao Wang, you should act immediately. First, register the company, and then find an office in Jinmao Tower. I will transfer the first batch of funds to you. You should quickly acquire a brewery of a certain scale, especially those existing breweries. The sooner you complete it, the better. It would be best if you can find a brewery after the National Day."
In another world, many sodas are produced using beer production lines. The most important blending of soda is to use ready-made liquor and other ingredients to mix. Therefore, acquiring a brewery is the fastest way to produce soda.
"Okay, boss." Wang Yuan nodded immediately.
Chen Jincheng looked at Ah Pao again and said, "Ah Pao, Lao Wang will be in charge of the soda, and the bar will be left to you."
"Ah?" Ah Pao didn't expect that he would be called here for such a good thing. After being surprised, he immediately thanked him respectfully: "Thank you, boss!"
As a gangster, he doesn't waste time. In today's society, people like them who do things secretly may get into trouble at any time. Or they can cling to the thigh of a boss, and if they cling to the right thigh, they can also do very well.
He has found the right person now.
A Pao didn't say much, and Chen Jincheng also received a system prompt that A Pao's loyalty increased by 5 points again, reaching 95.
He now understood why many big bosses or drivers would look for someone from the underworld to be around. If they found the right person, these people would indeed be more righteous and loyal than ordinary people.
Chen Jincheng instructed Ah Pao again: "The Extreme Bar is making a lot of money now, and it should have a lot of capital. Now that the Extreme Bar has become a high-end place, you can also look for suitable locations and open some low-end bar chains."
In fact, high-end bars sell more foreign liquors. Customers who can spend at least tens of thousands of yuan in one night basically start with foreign liquors. Soda wine is considered a low-end liquor.
However, in low-end bars, young people are the main consumers, and a meal only costs about 1000 yuan, which is not even enough to buy a bottle of foreign liquor. In another world, after soda wine became popular, it also became the mainstream of this group.
It is for this reason that A Pao is now allowed to open a low-end bar chain.
You should know that the cost of soda wine is not high, about 20-80 yuan per piece, it all depends on your conscience. Some bars even use fake wine, and the purchase price of a piece of Power Train is only 25 yuan.
But once the wine arrives at the bar, it immediately costs 550 yuan per piece. You can imagine the profit.
If you set up a low-end bar chain, as long as the business is not too bad, you will not lose money just from the profit from the drinks.
When Ah Pao heard this, he immediately showed joy on his face: "Don't worry, boss. I will definitely get it done."
Although he is the person in charge of internal security at the Extreme Bar, the bar only needs a limited number of internal security guards. In the past, many brothers wanted to ask him for a job, but he didn't dare to agree.
If we can open more bars, it would be okay to arrange for them to be included. Not only can we make more money, but our status in the industry can also be higher.
So, he was grateful to his boss from the bottom of his heart.
After giving the instructions, Chen Jincheng's smile became even more pronounced.
Once this soda wine plan succeeds and eats up the biggest piece of the soda wine pie, the subsequent benefits brought by this industry can create better financial support for his opportunity on the short drama platform and the opportunity of the python swallowing the dragon.
The game system gave me a recipe for a popular soda, which was a huge surprise. Big surprise. Big surprise. Big surprise. Big surprise. Big surprise. Big surprise.
