Chapter 1444 Strategic Cooperation
Breakfast, dining table.

"Huh? Where's Zhen Yu?"

Shi Jinglin was surprised to see Zhou Buqi coming to the restaurant alone.

Zhou Buqi sat down opposite her, "She won't eat."

"Skipping breakfast? How can this work?" Shi Jinglin frowned slightly, "I'll go find her! Even if you don't eat, you still have to drink a glass of milk!"

Zhou Buqi hurriedly stopped her, "Hey, take a rest!"

Shi Jinglin blinked, with a blank expression on her face, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "What's the matter? I said it last night. You're almost there. Senior Sister Zhenyu just came in and didn't get used to it. You're fine. You're like a hungry wolf. Sister Bao is accompanying her." Well, it might be psychologically traumatized."

Shi Jinglin's face turned red, and she said unconvinced: "How can it be? I just kissed my cheeks a few times, and it didn't..."

Zhou Buqi snorted, "Anyway, she's embarrassed to see you."

Shi Jinglin pursed her lips and said, "If you don't see it, you won't see it, who cares!"

"Ok?"

Zhou Buqi glared at her.

Shi Jinglin knew something was wrong, and felt guilty from the bottom of her heart, and said flatteringly: "By the way, my second sister said that the design plan for the blind box of the Manchester United team has been made."

"Really? Maybe, I haven't paid much attention to it." Zhou Buqi is more confident about this. "There is Beckham in the new season. This is a big killer. The attraction is not worse than Ronaldo."

Shi Jinglin said with a smile: "My second sister said that she lived at our house when she was in London?"

"Yes, they are all real relatives. You can't let her go out and stay in a hotel, can you?"

"Then you didn't..."

"Don't make trouble!"

Zhou Buqi's serious face blocked her wild thoughts.

Shi Jinglin glanced at him contemptuously, "I don't know you yet?"

Zhou Buqi coughed and changed the subject, "I'm going to Tokyo in a while, and I'll be back in the evening."

Shi Jinglin said "Oh", lowered her head and took a small bite of the fried egg, then looked up at him, "Hey, do you think our milk tea can be sold in Japan?"

"Impossible, the taste is different. When you are in Tokyo, you don't feel happy eating anything, and the Japanese eat the same thing as ours. It's relatively bland, so it can't be specially designed for Japan, right? It's not competitive at all, it's impossible It’s better than the locals.” Zhou Buqi has been to many countries, so he has a real experience. “There are only two major beverage giants in the world, Pepsi and Coke. Even coffee is a little bit worse. Most drinks have strong Regional, with cultural habits that fit the local area.”

Shi Jinglin sighed lightly, "I also want to be in the international market."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Okay, you hand over the power."

"What?"

Shi Jinglin looked at him with a tigerish face.

Zhou Buqi said: "The milk tea business can't go out. If you want to do overseas business, you can go to another company, or you can go to Manchester United to be the chairman. You are so beautiful, and you are more attractive than Beckham."

"Stop it." Shi Jinglin rolled her eyes at him, then gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not going to hand over the power, I haven't made really outstanding achievements in Yuanwei Group yet."

"It's pretty good now. I looked at the financial report for the first quarter, and the net profit was 6.3 million? Isn't that enough?"

"not enough."

"Don't be too hard on yourself. I don't expect you to support the family. If you can make money, you can make it. It doesn't matter if you don't."

Zhou Buqi comforted her kindly.

Shi Jinglin didn't appreciate it, and snorted softly: "You don't want to numb me, I'm a strong woman and a role model for the women of the Zhou family! They all have to listen to me! Don't think I don't know who Zhen Yu is, she That's my competitor."

Zhou Buqi laughed, "Why are you so sour, don't worry, I can handle it well."

Shi Jinglin took a sip of milk, finished her breakfast, lay down on the dining table, looked at the other side with big eyes, "Hey, you said that Yuanwei Group has reached a strategic cooperation with KFC, how about it?"

"Okay, a strong alliance! Cold food is not popular in China, and cola with hamburgers may not be liked by everyone. Milk tea with hamburgers seems to be more in line with consumption habits. How can anyone eat chicken legs and drink cola?"

"But it's a bit troublesome."

Shi Jinglin was a little irritable.

Zhou Buqi asked: "What's wrong?"

Shi Jinglin complained slightly sarcastically, "He is an international fast food giant, and the food control is very strict! You don't know, the Coke you drink in KFC and McDonald's is different from the one you buy in the supermarket. Unless it’s a black store manager, their Coke is special.”

"It's no wonder that KFC's Coke doesn't taste the same as the Coke in the supermarket." Zhou Buqi nodded, "They asked for Yuanwei milk tea for them? I think it's okay. They have brand attributes, so they can be regarded as Yuanwei. Milk tea has made a wave of publicity."

This milk tea must be solid instant milk tea, the kind that can be brewed in hot water and ready to drink. It is impossible to put a bunch of production equipment for making milk tea in KFC.

It is not impossible to supply a batch specially for KFC, with a slight difference in packaging and taste.

Shi Jinglin said: "Their requirements are very strict, and they even want to participate in our supply chain management."

"What?"

"They are afraid that the poor quality of our raw materials will cause food safety problems. They have to participate in the product selection. Then we make solid milk tea according to their selection, and they have to supervise the whole process."

"Damn!" Zhou Buqi couldn't help but want to scold them, "It's such a bad habit!"

Shi Jinglin sighed, "Maybe I was scared by the melamine."

"Our products are fine again!"

Because milk tea needs milk, whether it is ready-to-drink milk tea or solid instant milk tea, Zhou Buqi has made very strict restrictions and checks when planning the supply chain of Yuanwei Group.

After the milk incident last year, many official and non-governmental quality inspection agencies at home and abroad took dairy products from the market for testing, and most of them fell, but Yuanwei milk tea is very strong and will not fall down!
Because of this reason, Yuanwei milk tea has become a conscientious product in the hearts of consumers, and has been highly recognized by the market. Even the sales of Yuanwei mineral water have skyrocketed.

Now, "Huiyuan" has fallen, and "Wahaha" has also been rumored that there is a problem with the Nutrition Express, and "Yuanwei" has become an iconic brand of domestic beverages.

Probably this is also the reason why KFC is willing to reach a strategic cooperation with Yuanwei Group.Forging iron still needs to be hard, and the quality of Yuanwei milk tea is guaranteed.

But I didn't expect that even so, they would also play special offers and participate in the management and supervision of the supply chain throughout the process.

Shi Jinglin said softly: "Actually, it's okay to let them participate. I'm just worried that they will control the supply chain of the milk tea industry and leave us alone in the future."

"I remember KFC serving coffee, right?"

"Well, it's the same logic as our milk tea, which is all instant. Their coffee is their own brand."

"Milk tea is much more complicated than coffee, and they may not be able to learn it. I think strategic cooperation should be done."

Zhou Buqi thought for a while before making a judgment.

On business matters, Shi Jinglin was full of respect for him, asking for advice like a student, "Why?"

Zhou Buqi ate the bacon and fried eggs on the plate with bread rolls, and said while drinking milk: "Milk tea is a young industry, and it is usually young people who drink it. Or how can I ask Yuanwei milk tea chain stores to only It can be opened on university campuses but cannot enter the society. The competition in this industry is too fierce. All kinds of new brands and styles can easily divert the attention of young people. This is not a matter of taste and food safety, but of Young people are curious and curious about new things, and always want to try it.”

Shi Jinglin nodded lightly, "Well, this is what I'm most worried about, how to ensure the long-term appeal of the 'Yuanwei' brand."

Zhou Buqi said: "University is far stronger than primary and middle schools, and the predestined attribute of Yuanwei is very important. Therefore, the university campus market must not be released! With this market, Yuanwei milk tea will have a strong sales volume. Basic guarantee. Cooperating with KFC is actually cultivating the next generation of user groups.”

"Children?"

"Yes, usually couples or parents take their children to KFC. Parents don't want their children to drink Coke or coffee. Yuanwei milk tea is a suitable substitute."

"Well, the attribute of feelings. After college students graduate and start a family, they take their children to KFC and order a few cups of Yuanwei milk tea. When children grow up, they can feel the memories of childhood family fun in college. Alas, a few years ago Yuanwei Group is still thriving, and now we have to consider the attributes of feelings.”

Shi Jinglin is both helpless and emotional, the beverage industry is really difficult.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "There is nothing to worry about. Isn't the mineral water business launched now? Establish this business and it will be stable in the future."

Shi Jinglin gave him a coquettish look.

Which pot is not open to mention which pot!
The mineral water business is out of her control.

Zhou Buqi sighed and persuaded: "If you want me to say, you don't need to worry about this kind of thing. You are the boss, and there are powerful people working for you. Isn't that good? This is the Zhou family, isn't it? Shi family, everyone can see your ability, you don't need to prove it to anyone."

Shi Jinglin nearly shed tears from her moving face, turned her head away, and snorted softly, "It's easy to say."

……

Zhou Buqi went to Tokyo.

Two reasons.

First, Wu Yu is in Tokyo, investigating her blind box market.With the release of "Red Cliff: Next", Chaowan Commune's Three Kingdoms series of blind boxes once again ushered in a wave of sales boom.

Second, Ziweixing's Internet business.

Zhou Buqi became more and more satisfied with Tang Binchen. He really is a strong man in overseas business.

Previously, Ziweixing's development in Japan was within the framework set by Zhou Buqi. Even if the success of UC beauty products was unexpected, it was also within his strategic design.

Recently, another product of Ziweixing Japan has become popular, which made Zhou Buqi never even think about it.A lightweight mobile game called "My Farm".

It has been online for one month and already has 560 million users!
You know, this is a product specifically for smartphones, and only the ios version has been developed, and the Android version has not yet been launched.

There are only 1300 million iPhone users in Japan.

Currently, the three apps with the highest installed volume on the iPhone are all Ziweixing products. The number one app is UC Beauty, with more than 900 million installed apps, which has become a must-have.The second place is the Japanese version of Helo, with 740 million installed devices; the third is UC input method, with 670 million installed devices.

"My Farm" has already been among the top 10 iPhone apps in Japan within a month of its launch.

After UC Beauty, Helo, UC Input Method, UC Browser, YikYak, and UC Mobile Assistant, Ziweixing's seventh app ranks among the top ten iPhone apps.

It can be said that under the strategic layout of Zhou Buqi, Ziwei Star entered the market earlier and faster, and it is simply far ahead, almost dominating the list in the App Store.

Zhou Buqi is not concerned about this matter, his fundamental purpose is to strive for a strategic cooperation with Sony!
